A dual priming system connected with a centrifugal pump to evacuate gas therefrom includes a positive displacement pump fluidly connectable with the centrifugal pump and a venturi fluidly connectable with the centrifugal pump in parallel with the positive displacement pump. The dual priming system is operational in a first mode, wherein the positive displacement pump is inactive and the venturi is activated, and a second mode, wherein the positive displacement pump is activated and the venturi is activated.

A jet valve includes a valve body, a juncture operatively coupled to the valve body. The juncture having a first fluid connection fluidly coupled to a header tank and a second connection fluidly coupled to a storage tank. A spool is movably disposed within the valve body. A jet pump is fluidly coupled to a fuel pump of the header tank via a bleed line. Operation of the fuel pump pressurizes the bleed line and moves the spool to a first position to (i) close a first fluid path between the header tank and the storage tank and (ii) provide a second fluid path between the header tank and the storage tank, the second fluid path through the aperture. Depressurization of the bleed line enables the spring to move the spool to a second position to close the second fluid path and open the first fluid path.

A hemispherical entrainment-type high-flow self-priming centrifugal pump includes a hemispherical entrainment system, a pump body and a pump inlet pipe. The hemispherical entrainment system is disposed above the pump body. The hemispherical entrainment system comprises four layers of entrainment cavities, including a spherical entrainment interior cavity, a primary entrainment cavity, a secondary entrainment cavity and a tertiary entrainment cavity. The spherical entrainment interior cavity is a double circular pipeline that ascends in a spiral overlapping manner to wrap a hemispherical surface, and improves the entrainment capacity, while increasing the entrainment area. The primary entrainment cavity is allowed to be in communication with the secondary entrainment cavity and the tertiary entrainment cavity by upward sliding of a sliding check core. The secondary entrainment cavity entrains the gas in the pump inlet pipe, and the primary entrainment cavity entrains the gas in a pump cavity.
