5 Function description 5.2 Pump unit structure 5.2 Pump unit structure Fig. 4: Pump unit structure Pump Outer rotor Containment can Motor Inner rotor 5.3 Functional principle Screw pumps are rotating displacement pumps. Their displacement effect results from three rotating screws and the enclosing pump housing. Radial support of the screw set is effected through the sliding contact in the pump housing that de- pends on lubrication by the pumped liquid.

5 Function description 5.5 Overflow valve Screw plug Adjusting screw Pressure spring Valve body Fig. 5: Overflow valve, integrated The overflow valve ensures that very high pressures that could result in housing parts bursting do not arise. The overflow valve is purely there as a safety element for the pump and should not be used for control or regulation purposes such as maintaining pressure.

10 Operation 10.2 Commissioning 10.2 Commissioning 10.2.1 Cleaning the pipe system Notice Soiling in the pipe system impair the service life of the pump. If the pipe system is flushed using the pump during the initial commissioning, an additional commissioning filter has to be installed temporarily before the pump at the system.
10 Operation 10.2 Commissioning Connect the suction connection or pressure connection of the surrounding pipe system for ex- ample with a higher tank. Vent the pipe system at the highest point, for example via a pressure gauge shut-off device. Open the suction-side or pressure-side shut-off device and fill the pump via the suction connec- tion or pressure connection until pumped liquid is emitted at the vent hole.

10 Operation 10.2 Commissioning DANGER Magnetic field. Risk of death for persons with cardiac pacemaker, metallic implant or neurostimulator. ► Under no circumstances may persons with cardiac pacemakers, metallic implant or neurostimu- lator perform work on the pump/pump unit. DANGER Risk of death resulting from bursting components and discharging pumped liquid.
10 Operation 10.3 During operation Switch on the pump unit. ð The pump delivers when the pressure on the pressure side of the pump rises or a flow indic- ator at the system side triggers. If the pump does not deliver after 10 – 15 seconds of operation, abort commissioning. Eliminate the cause for the fault and only then continue with commissioning.
