I got an answer to this from the French-French forum and a French science&technology forum http://www.proz.com/kudoz/2133182?sp=h - it's a closed loop, where 100% of the pump's output is fed back into the pump.

Hi Helen,

When I sent my translation, it was accepted as such, no comment was made. Good luck with your current translation!
Helen Genevier Sep 10, 2007:
Hi sktrans - did you get any feedback on this? I am stuck on the same term. I have a couple of Ghits... "par la pompe qui tourne en canard (= circuit fermé)."; "réglage en "canard" avec renvoi à l'aspiration d'une partie du débit"
sktrans (asker) Nov 12, 2006:
No, I have no specific features for the pump, no drawing, nothing. It is just a single line in a manufacturing process.
Drmanu49 Nov 11, 2006:
Do you have any specific features for this system?
Is there a single pump or are there alternative back-ups?

rotary lobe pump

See this web site and the pictures to see if this fits your needs. This type of pump has that churning type action of little duck feet and it is used in many industries.

Due to a number of carefully engineered features, the Megator Rotary Lobe Pump manages such a task whilst ensuring a low life cycle cost.

The gentle action of the two interacting rotors creates a fluid movement through the pump, with minimal damage to suspended particles. Various types of rotor materials can be used, combined with a wide range of materials for all other wetted parts, resistance to wear and corrosion are obtained.

The special design of the Megator Lobe pump allows dry running, as the standard mechanical/lip - seal system is constantly lubricated. The same lubrication acts as a seal detector, allowing the user to react swiftly in case of any leaks occurring.

Typical fluids handled with the Megator Lobe Pump are:

Sludge with high dry-matter content, mud slurries, chemicals, centrifuge feed fluid, meat offal, cement slurry, gypsum, sauces with vegetables, marmalade etc.

neutral Claire Chapman : This describes what the pump does, not the "en canard" action. It appears that you think it is a rotary pump, too, since your posting is for a rotary piston pump.
