The pump is to be used only for the applications specified on the confirming order for which POMPETRAVAINI has selected the design, materials of construction and tested the pump to meet the order specifications. Therefore the pump CANNOT be used for applications other than those specified on the order.

6 - STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS After receipt and inspection, if not immediately installed, the unit must be repackaged and stored. For a proper storage proceed as follows: store the pump in a location that is closed, clean, dry and free of vibrations do not store in areas with less than 5°C temperature (for lower temperature it is necessary to completely drain the pump of any liquids that are subject to freezing).
Concrete pads and other concrete works must be aged, dry and clean before the pump assembly can be positioned in place. Complete all the work relating to the foundations and grouting of the pump assembly, before proceeding with the mechanical and electrical portion of the installation. 7.1 - PIPING CONNECTIONS Identify first locations and dimensions of all connections required to interconnect the pump with the installation, then proceed with the actual piping: connect the pump suction and discharge flanges, the service liquid line and all other...

7.3 - INSTALLATION SCHEMATICS FOR LIQUID RING VACUUM PUMPS CAUTION! Possible contact with hazardous media and hazardous substances, cold or warm. Operate only provided with apposite protective devices. The working principle of the vacuum pump requires a continuous flow of fresh and clean liquid that enters the pump at the service liquid connection identified by the letter Z (see chapter 7.11).
Page 12
7.4 - INSTALLATION SCHEMATICS FOR LIQUID RING COMPRESSORS The liquid ring vacuum pump can also operate as a compressor up to a maximum differential pressure, depending upon the models, of about 2 bar. The compressors series SA are specifically engineered to perform with differential pressures of up to 10 bar, depending on models.

This is a damaging condition for the impellers, port plates and casings. The cavitation causes erosion taking away metal particles and attacking the surface of the pump components. This is particularly damaging if the pump is handling corrosive gases, see chapter 16 for suggestions to correct the problem. Pump series TRH, TRM and TRV are designed for the application of an anti-cavitation valve that should be left open (if required) see fig.
To replace the oil demister filter, simply disconnect the oil scavenger line, remove the cover ITEM 1C, remove the used filter element. Dispose the waste grease according to the current regulations protecting the environment. Apply a liquid gasketing material over the 2 gasket faces of the new filter and place the latter in the housing, put in place the cover and the scavenger line.
Mechanical Seals can be of many different materials, types and configurations (see fig. 32-33-34 for some examples). To assure maximum reliability and safe operation Pompetravaini evaluates seal choices at time of pump selection in connection with customer’s requirements, application and liquid details.

evaluation by our technical department. Mechanical seals do not require maintenance until losses of liquid are visible (for seal replacement see “Disassembly and Assembly Instructions”). Losses of few drops of liquid in several minutes is normally considered acceptable and it is not an indication of seal failure. Seal leakage or even seal failure should be properly corrected considering the impact on environment, toxicity and safety issues.

Avoid damaging other system components. Before returning the pump to POMPETRAVAINI or an authorized service decontaminate the pump and ask for the “handled media” examination form.
Regarding the performance variation due to changes of specific gravity and viscosity, it can be assumed a proportional variation in power consumption however, the changes in capacity at different pressures must be analysed case by case. Please refer the conditions to POMPETRAVAINI when these corrections are needed. ABSOLUTE PRESSURE...

21.1 – LIFTING AND MOVING OF OILSYS SYSTEMS DANGER! Danger due to overturning or crushing. The Oilsys systems must ALWAYS be handled and lifted and moved in horizontal position and without any oil in the tank. For a safe lifting it is necessary use only ropes or belts positioned on metal bars that were previously inserted in the lifting holes present on the base (see fig.
