Heleshaw pump principle

Variable delivery pumps can run continuously in one direction, but have the capability of an infinitely changeable discharge from zero to a maximum either way. Principle of operation is based on altering the
stroke of the pump pistons in radial or axial cylinders, by means of a floating ring or swash plate respectively. There is very little shock during starting of delivery or end as pump stroke increases gradually and also at end it tapers of gradually.

Why atomisation test should not be done in slide type fuel valves

Since very small needle lift is obtained in the test equipment result in an unequal pressure distribution in the cut off shaft resulting in a hard contact in a small area along with high frequency oscillations, low lubricity of test oil will increase the chance of seizure. Full lift and high lubricity of heavy oil eliminates this risk  of seizure during normal operation.( Always open and clean slide type valves before testing as cold sticky heavy oil along with small clearances can cause restriction in the movement of the spindle).
