  2. Dry sump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_sump

    The dry-sump system requires at least two pumps - one pressure and one scavenge - and sometimes as many as four or five scavenge pumps are used to minimize the amount of oil in the engine. The pressure pump and scavenge pumps are frequently mounted on a common crankshaft, so that a single pulley at the front of the system can run as many pumps ...

  3. Pump as turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump_As_Turbine

    Conversely, a double flow radially split pump/PAT design involves a single radial open rotor fed by two symmetric inlets and enable processing a higher flow rate with respect to a standard radial unit. [9] A second type of pump/PAT design is the axial one, in which the fluid interacts with a propeller following a trajectory parallel to the pump ...

  4. Hydraulic machinery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_machinery

    The pumps vary their flow rate, pumping very little hydraulic fluid until the operator actuates a valve. The valve's spool therefore doesn't need an open center return path to tank. Multiple valves can be connected in a parallel arrangement and system pressure is equal for all valves. Open loop and closed loop circuits

  5. Hydraulic ram - Wikipedia

    2. Free flow at waste valve 3. Outlet – delivery pipe 4. Waste valve 5. Delivery check valve 6. Pressure vessel. A simplified hydraulic ram is shown in Figure 2. Initially, the waste valve [4] is open (i.e. lowered) because of its own weight, and the delivery valve [5] is closed under the pressure caused by the water column from the outlet [3].

  6. Centrifugal pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pump

    Another type of self-priming pump is a centrifugal pump with two casing chambers and an open impeller. This design is not only used for its self-priming capabilities but also for its degassing effects when pumping two-phase mixtures (air/gas and liquid) for a short time in process engineering or when handling polluted fluids, for example, when ...

  7. Variable displacement pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_displacement_pump

    A common type of variable-displacement pump used in vehicle technology is the axial piston pump. This pump has several pistons in cylinders arranged parallel to each other and rotating around a central shaft. A swashplate at one end is connected to the pistons. As the pistons rotate, the angle of the plate causes them to move in and out of ...

  8. Pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump

    Screw pumps – the shape of the internals of this pump is usually two screws turning against each other to pump the liquid; Rotary vane pumps; Hollow disc pumps (also known as eccentric disc pumps or hollow rotary disc pumps), similar to scroll compressors, these have an eccentric cylindrical rotor encased in a circular housing. As the rotor ...

  9. Turbopump - Wikipedia

    [2]: 80 The V-2 rocket design used hydrogen peroxide decomposed through a Walter steam generator to power the uncontrolled turbopump [2]: 81 produced at the Heinkel plant at Jenbach, [3] so V-2 turbopumps and combustion chamber were tested and matched to prevent the pump from overpressurizing the chamber. [2]: 172 The first engine fired ...
