Operating limits Operating limits Technical data In addition to the operating limits of the pump station, the operating limits of the attached pumps must also be observed. Operating pressure max. [bar] Temperature of the pumped liquid max. [°C] Ambient temperature [°C] -10...50 Viscosity [mm min.
General General Heating system The pump stations can be equipped with an optional heating system. We recommend heating systems for high-viscosity liquids that do not flow sufficiently if not heated. This can result in excessive power consumption or lead to problems arising through cavitation or sealing. Method of heating: □...

Electric heating system Pay attention to the following when installing the heating element: □ Protect the area of the connecting head against liquid and pasty media (anti-friction agent, oil, plastics, etc.) as well as their vapors, because leakage currents or flashovers can other- wise occur at the emersion point of the supply line.
Electric heating system WARNING Danger of the station block bursting if the heating duct is filled completely and risk of injury through emitted thermal oil. ► Fill the heating duct with thermal oil up to a maximum of 45 mm under the sealing surface of the screw plug.
Fluid heating system Fluid heating system Fig. 6 Installation position of the fluid heating Fig. 7 Sectional view of fluid heating system system 1 Piping 3 Heating duct 2 Screw connection for fluid heating system In the case of the fluid heating system the heating fluid passes through a heating duct 3 in the station block, see Fig.
Function description Function description Functional principle The pump stations of the DKB series are suitable for the parallel operation of two KRAL pumps of the K or L series. The functional description of the pumps is contained in the associated pump operating inst- ructions.
Options Options Suction-side pressure monitoring In order to monitor the pressure on the suction sides of the two pumps, two further pressure gauges 1 can be mounted optionally. The stopcocks at the pressure gauges may only be opened to read the pressure values, see "Reading the pressure values", page 25.
Unpacking and checking the state of delivery Unpacking and checking the state of delivery Transportation, storage and disposal 1. Upon delivery unpack the station and check for transport damage. 2. Report any transport damage immediately to the manufacturer. 3. Dispose of packing material in accordance with the locally applicable regulations. Lifting the station Fig.
Storage Storage During the test run, the internal components of the station are wetted with test oil, which has a preserva- tive effect. The pipe connections are fitted with protective caps. Unless otherwise specified, the external components of the station are preserved with a single-coat PU-based two-component paint. The preser- vative applied at the factory will protect the station for about six weeks, if it is stored in a dry and clean location.
Disposing of the station Disposing of the station Aids: □ Solvents or industrial cleaners suitable for the pumped liquid WARNING Danger of poisoning and damage to the environment through pumped liquid or oil. ► Wear protective clothing during 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 Protecting the station against contamination CAUTION Damage through impurities in the pipe system. ► During welding work attach protective covers to the connecting flanges. ► Ensure when welding that welding beads and abrasive dust cannot get into the pipe system and the station.
Removing the station Removing the station Aids: □ Vessels for leaking pumped liquid DANGER Risk of death resulting from electric shock. ► Ensure that the power supply is disconnected. ► The station may only be separated from the power supply by an authorized electrician. WARNING Risk of injury through emitted hot, poisonous or corrosive pumped liquid when removing the station.
Commissioning Commissioning Operation The following instructions must always be observed: ► The station may only be commissioned by authorized qualified personnel. ► Wear protective clothing during all the work. Cleaning the pipe system Before initial commissioning the complete pipe system has to be cleaned carefully to protect the station against particle contamination.
Commissioning Checking the direction of rotation To check the direction of rotation observe the corresponding pump operating instructions. Commissioning the station Prerequisites: □ Station set up and mounted correctly □ Motors connected correctly □ Pipe system free of contamination □ Station is filled □...
