TANKS

STORAGE TANK

Horizontal welded steel tanks are quite common, the large diameter exposed vertical
tanks being seen only with very large plants. Exposed tanks are set on concrete saddles and can
have openings on the bottom as well as the top.
Tanks must have: manholes for internal access and repair, fill lines to receive oil, vents
lines for controlling oil flow, and a suction line to withdraw oil.
DAY TANK

In finding the ∆P at 30 GPM (120 L/min) for 150 SUS

(32cSt) fluid
∆Pfilter = ∆Phousing + ∆Pelement

∆Phousing @ Flow= 120 L/min in ∆P housing Graph= 8 psi

∆Pelement = flow x element ∆P factor x viscosity factor

Use element factor of AZ3 = 0.25,
=30 x .25 x (150/150)=7.5 psi

∆Pfilter = 8 psi. + 7.5 psi. = 15.5 psi.

ALL DAY FUEL TANK

-Preferred Day Tanks provide a local supply of distillate or diesel fuel for boilers, emergency
generators or other stationary engine driven or oil fired equipment.
-Available from 20 to 620 gallon capacities, a properly sized tank may be selected per individual
job.
-For maximum fuel capacity in a minimum space, Preferred Day Tanks are rectangular in shape.
Each Day Tank unit includes all necessary pipe connections, inspection port, manual fill port,
and tank gauge, along with a variety of optional accessories.

AMT Industrial Straight Centrifugal pumps are suited for liquid and
chemical transfer, brine heating and cooling, re-circulation, booster
service and other industrial applications. Semi-open impeller features
self-cleaning ability that makes the unit useful in applications involving
muddy or dirty liquids, as well as clean, clear fluids. Discharge
position can be adjusted in 90 degree increments with vent and drain
plugs for all positions. Pumps are not self-priming and require flooded
suction. See Curve "F"

LUBRICATING SYSTEM

Basic requirements of a lubricating system. Lubrication is perhaps the most important single
factor in the successful operation of diesel engines. Consequently, too much emphasis cannot be
placed upon the importance of the lubricating oil system and lubrication in general. It is not only
important that the proper type of oil be used, but it must be supplied to the engine in the proper
quantities, at the proper temperature, and provisions must be made to remove any impurities as
they enter the system. In general, the basic requirements that a lubricating system must meet to
perform its functions satisfactorily are:

1. An effective lubricating system must correctly distribute a proper supply of oil to all bearing
surfaces.

2. It must supply sufficient oil for cooling purposes to all parts requiring oil cooling.

3. The system must provide tanks to collect the oil that has been used for lubrication and
cooling, so that it can be recirculated throughout the system.

4. The system must include coolers to maintain the oil temperature within the most
efficient operating temperature range.
5. In order to exclude dirt and water from the working parts of the engine, filters and
strainers must be included in the system to clean the oil as it circulates.

6. Adequate facilities must be provided on the ship for storing the required quantity of
lubricating oil necessary for extensive operation and for transferring this oil to the
engine lubricating systems as needed.

SUMMARY

The function of the diesel fuel system is to inject a precise amount of atomized and pressurized fuel
into each engine cylinder at the proper time. Combustion in a diesel engine occurs when this rush of
fuel is mixed with hot compressed air. A diesel fuel system is a critical component of any diesel
engine and its optimum operation is essential for peak performance.
