5.3.1 Construction
This unit comprises a combined rotary pump and air separator known as the model EPZ. Fuel
is drawn into the pump via an inlet strainer, and through a checkvalve prior to entering the
pumping section. The pump is based upon a rotary vane device, and the unit includes a bypass
circuit controlled by a mechanical spring valve. Within the pump discharge circuit, all fuel
passes under pressure through a centripetal air separator, and finally through a non-return valve
to the discharge port.
Separated air is vented to atmosphere via the air vent, and any liquid is returned to the inlet
side of the pump via a float valve within the air separation chamber.
5.3.2 Standard delivery rate (Qmax 40 L/min)
For the standard delivery rate the pumping unit is connected to two meters each feeding one
hose and nozzle at a maximum flow rate of 40 litres per minute. This configuration is suitable
for use with petrol and diesel.
5.3.3 High speed delivery rate (Qmax 80 L/min)
For the high-speed delivery rate the pumping unit is connected to one meter feeding one hose
and nozzle at a maximum flow rate of 80 litres per minute. This configuration is suitable for
use with petrol and diesel.
5.4 Alternative Tokheim Meter MA26 and Pulser MP-T1 (Figure 30)
Having the dispensers as described in the Certificate but having the Tokheim Meter MA26 and
the Pulser MP-T1 combination fitted to the Tokheim PAS V3 or the EPZ or PAS 130 pump
and air separator units
5.4.1 Meter
The meter is the Tokheim model MA26. This is a positive displacement device with four
horizontal pistons. The meter output shaft, which rotates once very 0,7 litres, is directly
connected to the pulser model MP-T1. Calibration is provided by moving a lever on a notched
quadrant at the base of the meter, which adjusts a cam acting on the four pistons. Each step is
approximately 0.1%.
5.4.2 Pulser
The pulser is a Tokheim type MP-T1, which generates 100 pulses per litre. This is bolted to the
meter and directly couples to the meter output shaft. This is similar to the MP1 pulser used
with the SM80 meter described in certificate 2286/13 but the gearing is modified to output 70
pulses per revolution and to account for the MA26 meter rotating in the reverse direction to the
SM80 meter.
