The most common 1000 gallon oil storage tank is a flat-ended cylinder 48 inches in diameter. A gallon is 231 cubic inches. The area of a 48-inch circle (radius = 24") is pi*24² = 1809.56 in². 231,000 / 1809.56 = 127.7", or just under 10'-8". The nominal length is 10.5 feet.

What is hot tank and cold tank in lubricating system?

A hot tank oil system is one, in which returning oil in not cooled when it comes back to the tank . In a cold tank it is cooled before it reaches the tank.The only difference is the location of the oil cooler whether its downstream or upstream.


How does an overhead oil tank provide lubrication in a steam turbine?

It provides oil circulation into turbine while Regular oil circulation fails. We can say it as stand by oil tank.


How does a four way hydraulic valve work with a power beyond port?

Closed centre sytems, (where the valve stops the pumps oil flow completely when in neutral), don't need power beyond as the oil pressure supply is piped to all valves simultaneously. Power beyond is for open centre systems, where the oil keeps flowing, returning to tank, even when no work is being done. Without power beyond, you couldn't add a second or third valve (because the oil, being able to return to tank from the first valve has no resistance. So power beyond plugs the flow in the first valve causing the oil to flow to the second valve, instead of to tank. The second valve (or the last valve if there are more than two), allows the oil to flow to tank, and so complete it's circuit.


Can a lubricating oil purifier be used as a diesel oil purifier?

No! It will not work as a purifier works using central fugalforce (spins dirty fuel to the outside). Lubricating oil is heavier so it cant be used. On marine purifiers any dirty fuel is dumped into a sludge tank after the sensor realises there is more than 15 parts per million. If you were to use lubricating oil the sensor will dump all of it as it is too thick.


What are the elements of a diesel power plant?

ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF DIESEL POWER PLANT Fuel Supply System It consists of storage tank, strainers, fuel transfer pump and all day fuel tank. The fuel oil is supplied at the plant site by rail or road. The oil is stored in the storage tank. From the storage tank, oil is pumped to smaller all day tank at daily or short intervals. From this tank, fuel oil is passed through strainers to remove suspended impurities. The clean oil is injected into the engine by fuel injection pump. Air Intake System This system supplies necessary air to the engine for fuel combustion. It consists of pipes for the supply of fresh air to the engine manifold. Filters are provided to remove dust particles from air which may act as abrasive in the engine cylinder. Exhaust System This system leads the engine exhaust gas outside the building and discharges it into atmosphere. A silencer is usually incorporated in the system to reduce the noise level. The exhaust system of a diesel engine performs three functions. First, the exhaust system routes the spent combustion gasses away from the engine, where they are diluted by the atmosphere. This keeps the area around the engine habitable. Second, the exhaust system confines and routes the gases to the turbocharger, if used. Third, the exhaust system allows mufflers to be used to reduce the engine noise. Cooling System The heat released by the burning of fuel in the engine cylinder is partially converted into work. The remainder part of the heat passes through the cylinder wall, piston, rings etc. and may cause damage to system. In order to keep the temperature of the engine parts within the safe operating limits, cooling is provided. The cooling system consists of a water source, pump and cooling towers. The pump circulates water through cylinder and head jacket. The water takes away heat form the engine and it becomes hot. The hot water is cooled by cooling towers and re circulated for cooling. Lubricating System The system minimises the wear of rubbing surfaces of the engine. It comprises of lubricating oil tank, pump, filter and oil cooler. The lubrication oil is drawn from the lubricating oil tank by the pump and is passed through filter to remove impurities .The clean lubrication oil is delivered to the points which require lubrication. The oil coolers incorporated in the system keep the temperature of the oil low. Engine Starting System This is an arrangement to rotate the engine initially, while starting, until firing starts and the unit runs with its own power. Small sets are started manually by handles but for larger units, compressed air is used for starting. In the latter case, air at high pressure is admitted to a few of the cylinders, making them to act as reciprocating air motors to turn over the engine shaft. The fuel is admitted to the remaining cylinders which makes the engine to start under its own power.
