Diesel (#2 Fuel Oil)

Deisel

Positive displacement gear pumps are ideal for transferring diesel #2 fuel oil due to their ability to handle viscous liquids with precision and efficiency. These pumps operate by trapping fluid between the gears and the casing, providing a consistent and predictable flow rate regardless of the changes in fluid pressure or viscosity. This makes them particularly well-suited for handling the thicker consistency of diesel #2 fuel oil, ensuring smooth and reliable transfer without cavitation or loss of prime. Additionally, their robust design and construction allow them to withstand the demanding conditions often associated with fuel oil transfer, such as variable temperatures and pressures, while maintaining high levels of precision and efficiency. This reliability and adaptability make positive displacement gear pumps a preferred choice for industries that require continuous and dependable fuel oil transfer systems.

Viscosity Through Thick and Thin
Viscosity is a measure of a liquid’s resistance to flow. And you don’t need to work in a laboratory to observe this. Anyone who’s spent any time in the kitchen has observed a variety of liquids with a wide variety of viscosities.

Current and Flow: An electrical engineer’s guide to the concepts of fluid systems
Unlike most of my colleagues I didn’t start out with a mechanical background.  While they were studying kinetics and machine design, I was studying digital electronics and industrial power.  When I started my career in the world of pumps, I had to learn a whole new set of concepts.  What was surprising was that while the terminology may be a bit different, the concepts are very similar.  Think of the following as a “Rosetta Stone” for translating the common terms and concepts of fluid systems to your more familiar terms and concepts of electrical systems.
