Study on the Adjustment of Pressure and Flow Rate for the Branch Pipeline System in Tank Farm

A pipeline system consisted of motor-pump or engine-pump operated with branch pipeline is adopted in many tank farms and air strips in order to improve the filling speed for vehicles, aircrafts and oil drums. This paper analyzes the variation law and characteristics of this branch pipeline system, especially the incessant variation in the branch numbers during their operating, puts forward corresponding adjustment and controlling methods. Meanwhile, some effective controlling devices are developed.
