Pressure control valve, booster unit (1V03)
The pressure control valve in the feeder/booster unit maintains the pressure in the de-aeration
tank by directing the surplus flow to the suction side of the feed pump.

Set-point
Automatic filter, booster unit (1F08)
It is recommended to select an automatic filter with a manually cleaned filter in the bypass
line. The automatic filter must be installed before the heater, between the feed pump and the
de-aeration tank, and it should be equipped with a heating jacket. Overheating (temperature
exceeding 100°C) is however to be prevented, and it must be possible to switch off the heating
for operation on MDF.

Flow meter, booster unit (1I01)
If a fuel consumption meter is required, it should be fitted between the feed pumps and the
de-aeration tank. When it is desired to monitor the fuel consumption of individual engines in
a multiple engine installation, two flow meters per engine are to be installed: one in the feed
line and one in the return line of each engine.
