  • Page 6: Ambient Conditions

    page 6 of 63 ☞ Secure coolant hoses at the hose nozzles (e.g. with hose clip) to prevent their accidental slipping. ☞ Check the overpressure safety relief device at the exhaust waste vapour con- denser in appropriate intervals. ☞ Avoid overpressure of more than 0.2 bar in case inert gas is connected to the pump, the gas ballast connection or to a venting valve.
  • Page 7: Safety During Operation

    page 7 of 63 • The pumps are not suitable for pumping substances which may form deposits inside the pump. Deposits and condensate in the pump may lead to increased temperatures even to the point of excessing the maximum permitted tempera- tures! •...
  • Page 8 page 8 of 63 Failure of the pump (e.g. due to power failure) or of connected components, of parts of the supply or change of parameters must not lead to a critical or danger- ous situation under any circumstances. • In case of diaphragm cracks or leaks in the manifold pumped substances might be released into the environment or into the pump housing or motor.
  • Page 9: Maintenance And Repair

    page 9 of 63 Maintenance and repair Wear parts have to be replaced regularly. In case of normal wear the lifetime of the diaphragms and valves is > 10000 operating hours. Bearings have a typical durability of 40000 h. Motor capacitors have a typical durability in the range of 10000 to 40000 h depending strongly on the operation conditions like ambient temperature, humidity or load.
