Some centrifugal cargo oil pumps are designed with an automatic stripping system, which allows the cargo oil tank to fully discharge its contents. By what principle does such a stripping system operate?
On the basis that, if cargo vapour can be stopped from entering the cargo pump suction inlet, the flow will continue without cavitation.
