This SUNTEC OT2 oil pump features 2 mode pressure operation and incorporates a blocking solenoid valve with in-line cut-off function. Switching between low and high modes is assured by a 2nd integral solenoid valve.
Compatibility :
The gear set draws oil from the tank through the built-in filter and transfers it to the nozzle line via the cut-off solenoid valve. Pressure regulation is assured by two spool valves, one for each pressure mode.
Switching between low and high pressure is assured by a “normally open” by-pass solenoid valve. When this solenoid is non-activated, a by-pass channel is open, allowing the normal functionning of the low pressure regulating valve which sets the nozzle pressure. When this solenoid is activated, the by-pass channel is closed, thus pressure will build up on both sides of the low pressure regulating valve eliminating its effect, and the high pressure regulating valve now determines the nozzle pressure.
Cut-off
The blocking solenoid valve of the nozzle line is of the “normally closed” type.
This design ensures extremely fast response and the switching can be selected according to the burner operating sequence and is independant of motor speed.
When this solenoid valve is :
– non-activated, the valve is closed and all oil pressurised by the gear set passes through the regulators to suction or to the return line, depending upon pipe arrangement.
– activated, oil passes to the nozzle line at the pressure set by the pressure regulating valves.
In two pipe, the by-pass plug must be fitted in the return port, which ensures that the oil dumped by the regulating valves is returned to the tank and the suction line flow is equal to the gear set capacity. Bleeding in two pipe operation is automatic (it is assured by a bleed flat on the piston of the low pressure regulator), but it may be accelerated by loosening the bleeder valve (or opening a pressure port) until the air is evacuated from the system.
In one pipe, the by-pass plug must be removed, and the return plugged. Oil which is not required at the nozzle is returned directly to the gear inlet via the pressure regulating valves, and the suction line flow is equal to the nozzle flow. The bleeder valve must be loosened (or a pressure port must be opened) to bleed the system.
