1 PURPOSE / DESCRIPTION

1.1 Purpose
The EPZ pumping unit is a standard product within the TOKHEIM Group.

It is a compact and lightweight unit manufactured with the following functions:

- Filtration

- Pumping

- Air elimination

- Bypass

- Outlet control valve

The same unit can be used for both 3 m3/h or 5 m3/h standard flow-rates. This
feature is achieved by changing the motor pulley in order to alter the pump rotation
speed.

The unit uses a rotary vane pump with carbon blades, producing particularly high
suction power even when the pump is dry.

A patented static system, using a vortex effect, provides air elimination within
extreme standards.

Filtration is performed using a 90µ filter, supplied as standard. 12µ and 25µ filters
are available for specific requirements.

1.2 Approvals

1.3 Description
The pumping unit comprises of the following main components :

• A cast aluminium body (1).

• A cover (2) with outlet manifold enabling connection to a remote meter.
• A filter; standard with external filter box, or internal (3) for specific use.
• A rotating pump (4) with radial carbon blades, including :

- A rotor (13) made of cast iron with a chrome plated shaft.

- A stator (12) made of cast iron, tightly fitted in the pump body.
- Two free throw out rings (16) maintaining contact between the blades and the
stator.
- A cover (14), also made of cast iron, that closes the aspiration chamber.
• An air separator assembly (5) with a patented static device using a vortex effect and
including:
- The insert – air separator (17), which causes the fluid to rotate.
- A cylinder in which foam and vapour are caught in the middle of the fluid that
spins inside the vortex (18), and which are ejected through the vortex valve.
- A vortex valve (24) to reduce the internal leakage if the liquid is without air.
• An aeration valve (9) to complete the vortex action in case of high quantity air inlets.
• A 4.5 litre atmospheric chamber (6). The float valve assembly (7) provides for the recovery
of liquid exiting the chamber, while air is evacuated through the atmospheric vent (21);
equipped with float valve to prevent overflow risks.
• A by-pass valve (10) - with a lid (11) for adjusting the maximum operating pressure –
incorporating a by-pass pressure adjusting device.
• A control valve assembly (8), enabling all downstream hydraulic components to be filled
with liquid. This valve has a safety valve (9) for relieving excess pressure.

1.6 Operations
The product is drawn from its underground storage tank by the EPZ pump through the
non-return valve into the external fiter box. An internal filter (3) is optional for some
specific applications.

The fluid is pressurised by the rotary vane pumping unit (4).

The fuel enters the centrifugal air separator assembly (5). Any air present is forced, via
the air tube, along with a small amount of liquid, into the atmospheric chamber (6). A
vortex valve (13), located inside the air tube, regulates the flow to the atmospheric chamber.
Air or vapour is sent through the vent and liquid is then collected in the atmospheric
chamber. To avoid any air or vapour from entering the pump inlet, the float (7) will not
open until it has reached a predetermined level.

In the case of excessive air content, for example starting with an empty pump and an
empty suction line, the air separator (5) will be ineffective. Therefore the pressure inside
the pump will be low (below 0.7 bar) and the aeration valve (12) will open, letting the air
through into the atmospheric chamber.

Air-free fuel, exiting the air separator, causes the control valve (8) to open and is then
pumped to the meter. The control valve includes a built-in safety valve (9) which relieves
excess pressure caused by expansion in hot weather.

Product passes through the meter, where it is accurately measured, then through the hose
and nozzle into the vehicle being fuelled.

If the nozzle is not fully opened, liquid is fed back into the pump intake via the by-pass
valve (10).
