  • Page 9: Shaft Seals

    6.8 Shaft seals The operating range of the seals is described for two main applications: pumping of water or pumping of coolants. Seals with a temperature range of 0 °C and up are mainly used for pumping water, while seals for temperatures below 0 °C are mainly intended for coolants.

    8.3 Connection Arrows on the pump housing show the direction of flow of liquid through the pump. The pumps can be installed with the motor/pump shaft in all positions between vertical and horizontal, but the motor must never fall below the horizontal plane.
  • Page 16: Foundation Of Nb, Nbg Pump With Base Frame

    8.5 Foundation of NB, NBG pump with base frame This section applies only to 50 Hz pumps as base frames are not supplied for 60 Hz pumps. We recommend that you install the pump on a plane and rigid concrete foundation which is heavy enough to provide permanent support for the entire pump.
  • Page 17 1: Preparing the foundation We recommend the following procedure to ensure a good foundation. Step Illustration Action Use an approved, non-shrinking concrete. (Contact your concrete supplier for advice if any doubts.) Pour the foundation without interruptions to within 19-32 mm of the final level. Use vibrators to ensure that the concrete is evenly distributed.
  • Page 18 3: Grouting Grouting compensates for an uneven foundation, distributes the weight of the unit, dampens vibrations and prevents shifting. Use an approved, non- shrinking grout. If you have questions or doubts about the grouting, please contact an expert on grouting. Step Illustration Action...
