Many modern large slow speed diesel engines used for main propulsion operate with a so called constant pressure turbocharging system. What is meant by constant pressure when used to describe such a turbocharging system?
Pressure variations in the scavenge air supply are avoided by supplementing the air supply with air from the auxiliary blowers so keeping a constant pressure across the load and speed range.
Pressure variations at the turbocharger inlet are damped out due to the large volume of the exhaust receiver and the short lengths of pipe from individual cylinders.
The exhaust pipes from groups of three cylinders are joined together before entry into the turbocharger so that the exhaust pulses from each cylinder cancel each other giving a constant inlet pressure.
The exhaust gas pressure is maintained constant by using a bypass waste gate to dump excess pressure at high engine loads.

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.
By automatically reducing the rate at which oil cargo enters the cargo pump, such that any vapour lifted along with the liquid does not cause a loss of suction.

On the principle that if the suction is fitted low enough in the cargo oil tank and a specified minimum trim is maintained, suction will be available until the tank is completely discharged.
