INTRODUCTION Isochem pumps have all the standard features of Isochem Series pumps use sealless technology ECO Gearchem pumps such as continuous operation which eliminates the need for a rotary mechanical over wide temperature and pressure variations, self- seal and enables the pump to handle hazardous priming, constant volume pulsation free flow, able to fluids safely with zero leakage.
To check system operation, installation INSTALLATION of vacuum/pressure gauges in the (SEE FIGURE 1) suction and discharge lines is recommended. 1. Pump installation site should provide easy Keep suction lines short and straight to access for routine maintenance and where minimize friction loss to the pump.
Do not spring piping, either suction or OPERATION discharge when mating up to the pump. Use supports or hangers at intervals as required. 1. Prior to operation, make sure all suction piping is When necessary, provide for thermal air tight and clean. Check that electrical service to expansion and contraction so no strain is motor agrees with name plate ratings.
MAINTENANCE or otherwise abnormal operation, first refer to the troubleshooting section. If the problem cannot be resolved the pump must be The timing for maintenance of the pump is inspected for wear or damage. Isochem pumps established primarily on past performance. Each can be easily opened for cleaning and installation is different.
