6.4.6.5 Overflow valve, HFO (1V05)
When several engines are connected to the same feeder/booster unit an overflow valve is
needed between the feed line and the return line. The overflow valve limits the maximum
pressure in the feed line, when the fuel lines to a parallel engine are closed for maintenance
purposes.
The overflow valve should be dimensioned to secure a stable pressure over the whole operating
range.
