Alfa Laval ALP pump range

Applications

The ALP pump is optimised for mineral oil applications and

developed with a specific focus on marine and industrial

applications.

Typical marine and industrial low pressure applications are:

• Supply and circulation of fuel, ranging from gas oil to heavy

fuel oils

• Transfer of fuel oil on board ships, in power stations and oil

facilities

• Oil circulation in hydraulic systems

• Lubricating oil circulation for cooling and separation

• Circulation of lubricating oil for diesel engines, gearboxes,

etc.

Design

ALP pumps are characterised by a compact design consisting

of few components reducing complexity of the pump and

easing the handling. Pump screws of hardened material

enable tight internal tolerances ensuring stable pump capacity

over time.

The shaft seal design optimizes the lubrication of the seal

faces and improves air evacuation, while the seal chamber is

built to efficiently prevent building up of residue. This

combined with the use of a high quality ball bearing,

positioned outside the product zone, reduces the risk of

thermal impacts and avoids exposure to the pumped liquid.

Thus, maintenance requirements are reduced to a minimum.

Benefits

Key benefits of the ALP pump design are:

• Minimized life cycle cost

• Low maintenance

• High quality

• High volumetric efficiency

• High energy efficiency

Pump testing

Every individual pump is performance tested before leaving

the factory.
