How the speed of the cargo pump in a Framo system can be varied?
Direct Answer
Option B: By controlling the amount of hydraulic oil to the hydraulic motor
Framo deepwell cargo pumps are hydraulically driven. The pump's speed is precisely varied by controlling the flow rate of hydraulic oil supplied to the integral hydraulic motor. This allows for fine-tuning of discharge rates, crucial for safe and efficient cargo operations, as per good seamanship practices and operational manuals.
