Portapump 24/28V Portable Fuelling/De-fuelling
Brand: Powervamp LtdThe Portapump unit is a rugged, all-weather fuel pump designed for the rapid fuelling or defuelling of all types of aircraft or vehicles using jet A1 or diesel with a flash point above 37oC.
It is designed to be easily transported by aircraft, helicopter or vehicle. Able to be carried by one man, it uses a powerful 24-28 volt DC motor direct coupled to a high-speed pump with phosphor bronze sliding vanes.
Features- The pump and filter assembly is housed within a stainless steel tubular space frame. All pipework and fittings are alloy or stainless steel with ‘Camloc’ quick release fittings to give rapid connect/disconnect of inlet and outlet hoses
- The Portapump will filter contaminated fuel to 5 microns solids, and 2 parts per million water. Fuel drums or containers that would otherwise require a settling period after transport to allow fuel/water separation can be pumped immediately. Fuel drained from aircraft, vehicles or plant that would otherwise be discarded can safely be re-used once passed though the Portapump
- Controls comprise three warning LEDs to alert the operator to the status of the system. When fuel flow is shut off at the nozzle by the operator, a ‘back pressure’ switch automatically switches off the pump, leaving the system in ‘standby’ mode, indicated by a red warning LED
- Opening the fuel delivery nozzle causes pressure to drop and the pump to restart, confirmed by green LED. A warning amber LED indicates when the pump is receiving DC power, waiting for the nozzle to be opened to instantly continue fuel delivery. A resettable circuit breaker and internal thermistor protect the pump motor against overload and overheating
- Pump rotation is protected by an audible alarm that sounds if the 28 volt DC input is connected incorrectly. An inlet non-return valve prevents drainback (siphoning) and maintains the back pressure to allow activation of the pressure-operated switch that shuts off the pump motor
- A non-return valve and coarse filter are mounted in a unique detachable cartridge which can be removed for inspection without tools
- Filter status is indicated by the differential pressure gauge mounted on the stainless steel control panel. Normal pumping is indicated by a reading of approximately 5 PSI on the gauge. Progressive filter blocking is indicated by a gradual rise in differential pressure. At approximately 15 PSI the coalescer filter cartridge should be removed and replaced if necessary. A drain tap is fitted to allow any collected water to be removed daily
