VETUS Hydraulic Tank for Bow Thruster / Power Steering (complete)
Hydraulic systems require the installation of a hydraulic tank as a collection point for hot hydraulic fluid returning from all user devices in the system, and as a reservoir from which the pump or pumps can draw the hydraulic fluid and repressurize it for reuse. The returning hydraulic fluid foams when it reaches the tank and returns to atmospheric pressure: as a result, the tank must be sized so that the fluid is in the tank long enough for the foam to ‘boil out’, returning the fluid to a completely liquid state, able to maintain its volume as it is repressurized by the pump(s).
Small storage tank (approximately 20lt) on vessels without a hydraulic installation. Includes all required steering and control units.
- Standard design for pumps with a fixed stroke volume (HT1029) and 24V valves.
- Available on request for load sensing pump and 12V valves
