Motor yacht Broom Ocean with two Facet Dura-Lift diesel pre-supply pumps
The Broom Ocean 37 pictured here comes from the English shipyard Broom.
The origins of this traditional shipyard date back to 1898.
The motor yacht pictured was built in 1971.
Two Perkins HT 6354 engines, each with 150 HP, power the boat.
Fuel consumption is approx. 5 - 50 liters of diesel per hour, depending on how it is driven.
The two diesel pre-supply pumps supply the two diesel aggregates with fuel, thus ensuring a top speed of 18 knots, or approx. 33 km/h.
The rubber fuel hose and all-around hose clamps used ensure the best connection between the engine and the diesel pump.
The berth is the AMC Castrop Rauxel on the Rhine Herne Canal, km 38.5.
The ship is used as a holiday and family boat.
The owner and his family have already traveled the Rhine, the Rhine-Rhone Canal, along the Rhone, and across the Mediterranean to Mallorca, Ibiza, and back.
Another trip went via the Rhine, Main, Danube Canal, Danube to Budapest and back.
Of course, also to the new federal states and parts of Poland.
The Netherlands, Belgium, and Northern France have also been visited.
The North and Baltic Seas, with a crossing from England to France, are also a must.
In 2013, the family traveled via the Dortmund-Ems Canal, the Mittelland Canal, the Weser, and from Bremerhaven across the North Sea, making a stop on Norderney.
The return journey was the same way.
On this holiday trip, approx. 1200 km were covered and approx. 1,000 liters of diesel were consumed.
Citroën D Super 5 - ID - Citroen CX Prestige Renewal of fuel hose and fuel filter
The vehicle is from the legendary Citroen DS series, also known as La Déesse – the Goddess.
It is the D Super 5 version, which means it is a Citroen ID.
This slightly stripped-down series of the DS was launched in spring 1957.
The sedan pictured was built in 1972. It was first registered in January 1973.
The engine is a carburetor engine with 76KW/103 HP.
The car has a 5-speed gearbox and swiveling high beams.
The vehicle has been with our customer for six and a half years and runs perfectly with an estimated mileage of approx. 220,000 km.
The customer is a die-hard Citroen fan and tinkerer and drives only Citroens.
His Citroen career began with a bamboo green 2CV, moved on to the BX and CX, and then to the DS.
For two years now, a 1983 GSA has also been in his fleet.
It will receive its H-plate (historic vehicle registration) next January.
Currently, the Citroen enthusiast is trying to complete a 1988 CX Prestige.
Both the Citroen ID and the Citroen CX Prestige will be equipped with new fuel hoses.
After replacement, these will be secured with Norma clamp hose clamps and will receive a new fuel filter with a paper insert.
Non-return valve without housing for DIY tank venting in a tank cap
These, of course, also need a fuel cap with ventilation.
Due to a lack of suitable fuel caps on the market, these are manufactured in-house.
The check valve without a housing, which is new to our product range, is equipped with a diaphragm and spring and is suitable for gasoline.
The customer incorporates this spring-loaded diaphragm check valve into their own design.
The accompanying photos of the manufacturing process for the tank ventilation of a fuel cap clearly show the installation position and function of the check valve.
Perhaps this will give you an idea for your own applications, for example, for manufacturing ventilation caps for classic car fuel tanks.
Technical data for the check valve:
Opening pressure 0.2 bar
Outer diameter 19 mm
Rear mounting diameter 12.92 mm
Total height 8.93 mm
Rear mounting height 5.64 mm
Seal material NBR
Weight 6 g
Dosing pump with 12 Volt or 24 Volt, automatic on/off via spray lance by means of pressure switch
Characteristic is the 12 or 24 volt DC drive of the impeller pump.
This motor is designed for genuine continuous operation.
In addition, there is the mechanical pump control with pressure equalization tank, pressure switch, and manometer.
The adjustable pressure switches the impeller pump on or off.
This system unit allows for the conservation of battery capacity when the watering device is used mobile.
To drive the quietly operating impeller pump, a battery with at least 80 Ah power is required.
The DC motor of the impeller pump shown here with 30 l/min has a power of 0.25 kW and 42 A.
This special type of impeller pump is available with 30 l/min or 60 l/min.
The max. pressure is 5 bar when used with a Perbunan impeller.
These DC impeller pumps are used, for example, in a cemetery nursery for watering flowers in grave care.
Another area of application is operation in highway maintenance depots for cleaning reflective highway signs. In general, you will frequently find these DC impeller pumps in diverse applications in municipalities.
The 12/24 volt impeller pumps can also be delivered ready for operation on a mobile chassis.
As a general rule: Always ask us about your specific application cases; we will find a special solution for you.
Here are some brief explanations of the operating principle of the impeller pump shown:
In the two photos on the right, you can clearly see the operating principle of an impeller pump.
In this case, the motor rotates the impeller wheel counter-clockwise.
On the suction side, visible on the left in the picture, the vanes expand.
The space between the impeller vanes becomes larger and creates a vacuum.
The impeller pump thus sucks in liquid dry.
As it continues, the impeller vanes transport the liquid from the pump's inlet to its outlet during rotation, shown on the right in the picture.
On the pressure side, the impeller vanes are then compressed, and the liquid is thus pushed out of the pump pulsation-free.
Depending on the material of the pump head (aluminum and stainless steel are available), abrasive solids can also be transported between the vanes in the medium.
