  • Page 5: Installation

    BEFORE COMMENCING ANY WORK, READ THIS INSTRUCTION CAREFULLY! Design limitations and technical data for each pump are found in the Product description. Installation of IMO AB low pressure pumps does not require special skills. However, these instructions presume that the work is carried out by experienced fitters.

  • Page 8 Strainer The pump has to be protected from foreign matter, such as weld slag, pipe scale, etc., that could enter the pump via the suction line. If the cleanliness of the system cannot be guaranteed, a strainer must be installed in the inlet pipe near the pump. For practical reasons a suction strainer with 0.6 mm mesh openings is recommended: The size of the strainer should be selected so that...
  • Page 9 All systems with screw pumps should be equipped with a pressure relief valve installed immediately adjacent to the pump. In the standard versions of IMO AB low pressure Fig. 12 Gauges pumps, this pressure relief valve is an integral part of the pump to protect the pump against excess pressure.
  • Page 10: Start-Up

    Start-up Before starting After installation and whenever it can be assumed that the pump has been emptied, the pump must be thoroughly filled with liquid. See fig 15. For ACE Generation 3, LPE Generation 3, ACG Generation 7 and ACF Generation 4 delivered after 1997, ACF Generation 5 and LPQ the pumps have been fitted with deaeration plugs making venting of the shaft seal compartment easy before start-up.
