Function of the emergency oil pump
Thread Content
Does the emergency oil pump supply lubricating oil only during the coasting phase after the unit is shut down? Is top shaft oil also provided? Does anyone here know about this? I would appreciate any guidance you can provide!
It is generally the amount of lubricating oil required to meet the idling time after shutdown.
This usually comes with two power sources. If normal shutdown is enabled, the regular power source can be used; in the event of a power outage and the regular power source becomes unavailable, the alternative power source can be used, which is typically a battery or a generator
I don’t understand what it means. Is it the same as a high-level oil tank? When the main oil pump fails, the high-level oil tank can supply oil to prevent a lack of lubrication
It functions similarly but differently, requiring external force to drive it.
Is an emergency power supply also used in the event of an accident?
The emergency oil pump can be started using the emergency power supply (diesel engine). . . . . ), the on-site electric valve is also connected to the emergency power supply. The normal power supply is lost, and the emergency power supply takes over. The high-level oil sump ensures lubrication when the unit is shut down, even when all oil pumps stop operating
The emergency oil pump is powered by a DC source, serving as a protection measure to ensure oil supply in the event of a disruption in the plant’s power supply
