General General Heating The pump CLC 55 can optionally be equipped with a heating system (CLC 550 on request). The manu- facturer recommends heating systems for high-viscosity liquids that do not flow sufficiently if not heated. High viscosity can result in excessive power consumption or to problems arising through cavitation or sealing.

6 Ball bearing 12 Main screw KRAL screw pumps of the CLC series – high viscosity are generally suitable for transporting lubricating liquids with high viscosity. The design with outside bearings does not come into contact with liquid and is therefore especially suita- ble for pumped liquids that harden when they cool down, tend to crystallize or are abrasive.
Radial shaft seal Radial shaft seal Fig. 5 Sealing chambers A, C Fig. 6 Sealing chamber B (View rotated) The shaft is sealed with a radial shaft seal with three radial shaft sealing rings. Lubrication of the radial shaft seals is effected via the sealing chambers. The sealing chamber A is filled and vented via the inlet 1, the sealing chamber B via the inlet 2 and the sealing chamber C via inlet 3.
Unpacking and checking the state of delivery Unpacking and checking the state of delivery Transportation, storage and disposal 1. Upon delivery unpack the pump and check for transport damage. 2. Report damage during transportation immediately to the manufacturer. 3. Dispose of packaging material in accordance with the locally applicable regulations. Lifting the pump Fig.
Preservation Preservation Preservation has to be carried out in the following cases: □ For standard delivery: For storage periods exceeding six weeks and in case of adverse storage conditions such as high humidity, salty air, etc. □ For delivery with long-term preservation: If the packaging has been opened or damaged Preserving the internal surfaces of the pump 1.
Disposing of the pump Disposing of the pump Aids: □ Solvents or industrial cleaners suitable for the pumped liquid □ Collection tank WARNING Danger of poisoning and environmental damage from the pumped liquid. ► Wear protective equipment during all the work. ►...
Installation Installation Installation, removal and connection Observe the following instructions: □ When selecting the location take the operating limits, NPSH values and ambient conditions into account, see "Technical data", page 7. □ The function, safety and service life may not be impaired by humidity, temperature influences or explosive atmospheres.
Installation Connecting the pump to the pipe system CAUTION Damage to device or impaired functionality through mechanical stresses. ► Ensure that the pump mounting on the pipe system is free of mechanical stress. 1. Turn the pump shaft or fan impeller of the motor so that smooth running of the pump is checked. If the pump cannot be turned by hand, remedy the fault before installing the pump, see "Trou- bleshooting", page 32.
Connecting the motor CAUTION Incorrect alignment of the shaft coupling causes noise, vibrations and damage to the coupling and bearing. ► After the mounting check the alignment of the coupling. 1. Check the linear offset of the coupling using a slide gauge or feeler gauge. If the limit values of the above table are exceeded, loosen the fastening of the pump or motor and move the pump or motor in order to adjust the linear offset.

Commissioning Commissioning Operation Be sure to observe the following instructions: ► The pump may only be commissioned by authorized qualified personnel. ► Wear protective equipment during all the work. ► When pumping liquids that harden through humidity flush the pump with dry air before every com- missioning.
Commissioning Fig. 2 Sealing chamber B (sectional view rota- Fig. 1 Sealing chambers A, C ted) Variant 1: Checking PTFE grease ► Ensure that the sealing chamber A is filled application-specifically and vented and sealing chambers B and C are filled with PTFE grease, see "Lubricating the radial shaft seal", page 30. Variant 2: Filling sealing chamber B with quench liquid via quench tank max.
Commissioning CAUTION When quench liquid is missing damage to seals through hardening of the pumped liquid. ► Check filling level of the quench tank every four weeks and refill quench liquid if necessary. 1. Ensure that the sealing chamber A is filled application-specifically and vented and sealing chamber C is filled with PTFE grease, see "Lubricating the radial shaft seal", page 30.
Commissioning Filling and venting the pump Fig. 5 Vent holes DANGER Risk of death through emitted pumped liquid. Pumped liquids can be hot, poisonous or caustic and can spray out under high pressure. ► Wear protective equipment during all the work. Ensure face protection. ►...
Commissioning 1 Rotation-direction arrow Fig. 6 Indication of direction of rotation CAUTION Dry running can damage pump equipment. ► Ensure that the pump is filled properly. ► Switch the pump on for a maximum of 1 second and then off again immediately. 1.
During operation 1. Switch on the pump. The pump delivers when the pressure on the pressure side of the pump rises or a flow indicator at the system side triggers. 2. If the pump does not deliver after 10 – 15 seconds of operation, abort commissioning, establish the cause of the fault and only then continue the commissioning procedure.
Recommissioning the pump Pump is Measure □ Shut down for longer period ► Measures depend on pumped liquid, see Tab. 2, page 25. □ Drained ► Flush pump with flushing liquid. ► Close the pressure and suction-side shut-off devices. □ Dismantled ►...

Lubricating the radial shaft seal Lubricating the radial shaft seal Be sure to observe the following instructions: ► The manufacturer recommends lubricating the radial shaft seal while the pump is running. Depending on the application the sealing chambers are filled differently. The six accesses to the sealing chambers are realized differently, for example as grease nipples, connection quench tank or screw plugs, for example for venting.
Refilling quench liquid Aids □ Grease gun CAUTION Damage to sealing because of lack of lubrication. ► It is imperative that the lubrication intervals be observed. ► Variant 1: Re-lubricate the recommended amount of grease via the grease nipple in the sequence 1, 2 and 3, see Tab.
Possible faults Possible faults Troubleshooting Faults can have different causes. The following tables list the symptoms of a fault, the possible causes and measures for troubleshooting. Fault Cause/Remedy □ No pump suction 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 32 □...
