INTRODUCTION
Framo portable submersible pumps, are provided on chemical ships and other specialized liquid cargo carriers. FRAMO Cargo pump is a vertical single stage centrifugal pump powered by hydraulic motor for safe and efficient operation. All these pumps are made in stainless steel design with smooth and easy to clean surface with a limited number of flanges which gives a superior ability to pump any fluid. The cargo pump has a built in hydraulic motor connected to the impeller by a short independent shaft. Motor shaft and bearing are lubricated and cooled by the same hydraulic driving fluid.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION :

The Framo cargo pump is a single stage centrifugal, hydraulically driven, submerged cargo pump in stainless steel.

The pump consists of three main parts: - Top cover plate - Pipe stack - Pump unit. 1)TOP COVER PLATE: The cargo pump is supported by a deck trunk welded to the deck. All the connections are on the top cover plate, to which a hydraulic control valve is also mounted for remote and local operation of the cargo pump. This specially developed control valve regulates hydraulic pressure and oil flow to the motor according to the given discharge situation. The pressure gauge indicates the oil pressure to the motor. 2) PIPE STACK: The pipe stack connect the pump unit to the top cover plate. 3) PUMP UNIT: The pump unit is mounted to the pipe stack/casing with the compact hydraulic motor located inside the casing. The motor is surrounded by low pressure hydraulic oil. A short, independent shaft, supported by bearings lubricated by hydraulic oil, is connected to a single stage, end-suction centrifugal pump. The hydraulic section is surrounded by a cofferdam that completely segregates the hydraulic oil from the cargo, with a manual seal-condition monitoring system. This seal arrangement consists of a mechanical oil seal, single cofferdam lip seal and a double cargo lip seal. The cargo seal

is exposed only to static head from the cargo. Any leakages in the cofferdam chamber will, by purging with compressed air or nitrogen, be blown through the cofferdam check pipe and collected in the exhaust trap. A backstop unit is fitted to the shaft, enabling cargo to be loaded through the pump. Wear rings are fitted between the impeller and the volute casing.

Aim :

The aim of this project is to demonstrate the operation of Hydraulically operated Submerged Cargo pump. The operations demonstrated are 1. Discharging of cargo from cargo tank to discharge tank. 2. Stripping of cargo in the discharge line. 3. Emergency stop operation.
Location : The tank used for mounting the submersible cargo pump is located in the Circuit diagram:

WORKING: It consists of a Prime mover (Electric motor) which is coupled with a Hydraulic pump. This Hydraulic pump can be Gear pump or vane type pump. Electric motor runs the hydraulic pump and it takes suction from header tank and develops the pressure. This pressurized oil drives a Hydraulic motor. The hydraulic oil is then returned to header tank through return line. The hydraulic motor drives a Centrifugal pump which is mounted inside the cargo tank. The centrifugal pump takes suction from the cargo tank and discharge it to the discharge tank. A relief valve is fitted in the discharge line of the gear pump to relieve any excess pressure. A bleed off type flow control valve is used to vary the speed of the hydraulic motor by varying the flow. Thus by varying the speed of

hydraulic motor the speed of centrifugal pump is varied and thus the rate of discharge is controlled.
