Fig. 4: Hydraulic scheme 5.2 Functional principle Pump stations of the DL2 series with two KRAL screw pumps of the series FE or NE are suitable for pumping light oil. Screw pumps are rotating pumps. Their displacement effect results from three rotating screws 9 and 11 and the enclosing cartridge housing 10.
6 Transportation, storage 5.3 Overflow valve The pump station is connected with the pipe system via the connections 4 and 5. Depending on the po- sition of the reversing valve 6 the pumped liquid flows through the left, right or both pumps. The oil pan collects leaks from the pump station.
6 Transportation, storage 6.2 Dangers during storage 6.2 Dangers during storage The following safety instructions must be observed: o Observe the storage conditions. 6.3 Unpacking and checking the state of delivery Upon delivery unpack the pump station and check it for damage during transportation. Report damage during transportation immediately to the manufacturer.
7 Preservation 6.5 Storing the pump station 6.5 Storing the pump station During the test run, the internal components of the pump station are wetted with test oil, which has a preservative effect. The pipe connections are fitted with protective covers. Unless otherwise specified, the outer parts of the pump station are preserved with a single-coat PU-based two-component paint.
7 Preservation 7.3 Preserving the outer surfaces Open the screw plug 1. Pour the preservative into the station block until it reaches approx. 2 cm under the rim, while slowly turning the fan impeller of the motor in the direction of rotation at the pumps. Close the screw plug.
8 Installation, removal 8.1 Dangers during installation Drain the pump station, collecting the preservative in a collection tank. To remove the residual preservative, flush the pump station with the pumped liquid. 8 Installation, removal 8.1 Dangers during installation The following safety instructions must be observed strictly: o Have all work carried out only by authorized qualified personnel.
8 Installation, removal 8.4 Removing the pump station Suction-side connection Pressure-side connection Fastening element Fig. 8: Mounting the pump station Requirement: ü Pump station connections protected against soiling, for example by using the protective cover mounted in the factory Bring the pump station into the installation position. Take the flow direction into consideration. Fasten the pump station with fastening elements 3 securely on the underground.
9 Connection 9.1 Dangers during connection work Ensure that the pump station is depressurized. Close the pressure-side and suction-side shut-off devices. Loosen the connecting screws of the suction connection and the pressure connection. Collect any discharging pumped liquid. After the pumped liquid has been drained completely, dismantle the pressure-side and suction- side connecting flange.
9 Connection 9.3 Connecting the pump station to the power supply ATTENTION Damage to device through impurity in the pipe system. ► During welding work attach protective covers in front of the connecting flanges. ► Ensure when welding that welding beads and abrasive dust cannot get into the pipe system and the pump station.
10 Operation 10.1 Dangers during operation 10 Operation 10.1 Dangers during operation The following safety instructions must be observed strictly: o Have all work carried out only by authorized qualified personnel. o Before commissioning ensure that a safety valve has been installed in the pressure-side pipe sys- tem to protect the pump station.
10 Operation 10.2 Commissioning WARNING Risk of injury through emitted pumped liquid. Pumped liquids can be hot, poisonous, combustible and caustic. ► Wear personal protective clothing during all the work. Ensure face protection. ► Collect any discharging pumped liquid safely and dispose of it in an environmentally compatible manner in accordance with the applicable local regulations.
10 Operation 10.3 During operation 10.2.4 Commissioning the pump station Personnel qualification: o Fitter o Electrician o Work clothing Personal protective equipment: o Protective helmet o Protective gloves o Safety boots o Face protection o Collection tank Aids: WARNING Risk of injury through emitted pumped liquid. Pumped liquids can be hot, poisonous, combustible and caustic.
