One of the feed pumps on the auxiliary hydraulic unit (one in operation and one in stand-
by) circulates oil into the return/suction line and back to the unit, via the built-in low
pressure relief valve. The feed pump runs at full speed during operation of the hydraulic
pumps, and half speed when the hydraulic pumps are stopped. At half speed, the feed
pump keeps the hydraulic system pressurized at approximately 6 bar to avoid possible
cargo leakage into the hydraulic oil.

The main hydraulic oil filter and the oil cooler are installed in the main return line. The
cooling water inlet is controlled from the Framo control system.

For safe operation of the system, several transmitters/switches/alarms are installed.

2.1.2 HYDRAULIC FLUIDS, FLUID CLEANLINESS

Hydraulic pumps, motors and controls are devices requiring close tolerances, controlled
wear surfaces, accurate finish and an adequate supply of clean hydraulic fluid.
Contaminated fluid will not provide proper lubrication and is a leading contributor to
reduced efficiency, excessive downtime and increased maintenance cost.

Max. recommended water content is 300 PPM (0.03 %), and must under no
circumstances be above 500 PPM (0.05 %). If in doubt, please contact Framo.
Recommended cleanliness level is code 16/12 according to ISO 4406 (or
CETOP PR20). 16/12 means that number of particles:
Above 5 micron in 100 ml is between 32000 and 64000.
Above 15 micron in 100 ml is between 2000 and 4000.

For further information, see separate instruction.
