RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] VBT Pumps



Would prefer not to dive in that stuff.  Takes forever to get any where!   Seriously though  What size and cost was the unit.  Any data? Hugh

Hugh I was thinking of using a design that some of the navy ships use their fuel tanks are also ballast tank they use a rubber bladder in the tank fuel inside and water outside could you do the same a hydraulic pump a light oil as you pumped oil in it would force water out and then the hydraulic pump would never see salt water, it’s just an idea I have been kicking around

I am looking for a bronze gear pump or such for pumping water in and out of the Variable buoyancy tank.

Harold Le Tourneau project page states he is using one and I have a hydraulic pump on the Comsub which uses one but looking for a simple corrosion proof one that is good for about 250 psi.

Does anyone have any suggestions or using one and where to source.  I was hoping for about 40 litres per minute.  Any comments on capacity chosen.  The problem with the hydraulic pump is that the rotors/gears are made from steel.

Hugh
