Section II. EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION AND DATA
1-10. EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS, CAPABILITIES AND FEATURES.
a.
Characteristics. The 200/600 GPM Pump is to be used in the field to provide support units with capabilities for
forward refueling. The 200/600 GPM Pump is mounted on four wheels/skid.
b.
Capabilities and Features.
(1)
Lightweight construction. Unit is built of lightweight materials.
(2)
Portability. Because of the lightweight construction and compact shape, unit is easily replaced and
retrieved, using lifting device with sling, forklift truck or helicopter. Unit can also be moved short distances
by the use of an integral electric winch. Portability components include the caster type wheels, lifting eyes,
forklift pockets, the winch and the compact construction of the units.
(3)
Ease of maintenance. Units have been designed for a low maintenance ratio. Accessibility of components,
use of quick disconnect fasteners are contributing factors in obtaining the required low maintenance ratio.
(4)
Reliability/Durability. Pump assemblies have been designed for difficult environmental conditions,
especially for extremely low temperatures encountered in the arctic regions. Many of the components used
are highly reliable under similar environmental conditions.
(5)
Low weight/power ratio. Low weight/power ratio has been obtained by selecting a lightweight, high
powered gas turbine engine and lightweight materials for the pumps, pump frames and other components.
(6)
Temperat ure Extremes. Pump assemblies operate over wide temperature ranges. Although the system
was designed and tested specifically for use in arctic regions, it operates at ambient temperatures up to
95F (36C).
(7)
Designed to operate from internal fuel. Pump is started from fuel in auxiliary 5 gallon fuel can.
