    These kinds of piston pumps are characterized by the following advantages: high efficiency; high pressure (up to 1,000 bar or 14000psi) low flow and pressure ripple (due to the small dead volume in the workspace of the pumping piston) low noise level; very high load at lowest speed due to the hydrostatically balanced parts possible

    Therefore, an inverted V engine would have a minimum of two scavenge pumps and a pressure pump in the pump stack. Dry sump systems may optionally be designed to keep the engine's crankcase at lower than atmospheric pressure (vacuum), by sealing the crankcase and allowing the scavenge pumps to draw out both oil and gases.
