Safety Information. INCORRECT INSTALLATION, OPERATION, OR MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT MAY CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND MAY INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. THIS INFORMATION MUST BE READ FULLY BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION, OPERATION, OR MAINTENANCE AND MUST BE KEPT WITH THE PUMP.

The mounting of the pump or pump unit should be solid and stable. Pump orientation must be considered in relation to drainage/cavity ventilation requirements. Once mounted, shaft drive elements must be checked for correct alignment. Rotate pump shaft by at least one full revolution to ensure smoothness of operation.
The pump is fully isolated from the power source (electric, hydraulic, pneumatic). The pumping chamber and any shaft seal support system are depressurised and purged. Any temperature control devices (jackets, heat-tracing, etc) are fully isolated, that they are depressurised and purged, and components are allowed to reach a safe handling temperature.
Risk assessment relating to the use of Wright Flow Technologies Revolution pumps and pump units in potentially explosive atmospheres. Note:- For a feature to be suitable for an application, the feature must be fit for its designated purpose and also suitable for the environment where it is to be installed.
Wright Flow Technologies distributes its products internationally via a network of authorised distributors. Throughout this manual where reference is made to Wright Flow Technologies, service and assistance will also be provided by any Wright Flow Technologies authorised distributor for Revolution.
Pump Model and Serial Number. Should you require any information regarding your Revolution pump contact Wright Flow Technologies or your Wright Flow Technologies distributor, providing the pump model and serial number as stated on the pump nameplate, see Fig 2, which is fixed to the pump gearbox.

3.0 General. 3.1 Revolution Pumping Principal. The pumping action is generated by the contra-rotation of two pumping elements (rotors) within a chamber (rotorcase) - see Fig 5. The rotors are located on shafts, which in turn are mounted within an external gearbox and supported by the bearings;...
Consult Wright Flow Technologies or your Wright Flow Technologies distributor for assistance. The operating temperature limit of the pump is determined by the rotor clearance.
3.4 System Design. 3.4.1 System Design and Installation. When incorporating any pump into a system it is considered good practice to minimize piping runs and the number of pipe fittings (tees, unions, bends etc.) and restrictions. Particular care should be taken in designing the suction line, which should be as short and straight as possible with a minimum of pipe fittings to minimise restricting product flow to the pump.
Page 16
The Net Positive Suction Head available (NPSHa) from the system must always WARNING exceed the Net Positive Suction Head required (NPSHr) by the pump. Observing the following general guidelines should ensure the best possible suction condition is created. − Suction piping is at least the same diameter as the pump connections. −...

The preferred drive arrangement for any circumferential piston or rotary lobe pump is in-line direct coupled. If an alternative is required please contact Wright Flow Technologies or your Wright Flow Technologies distributor. b) Flexible couplings must always be incorporated and correctly aligned within the limits recommended by the coupling manufacturer.
3.4.2 Installations with CIP Systems. The Revolution pump range is designed to be effectively cleaned by the CIP procedures recommended for in place cleaning of process plants. It is recommended that a differential pressure of 2 to 3 Bar (30 to 45 psi) be developed across the pump head during cleaning in order to develop the necessary fluid velocities required for thorough cleaning.
Fig 8 Rotation Rotation Discharge Suction Suction Be sure product is available in the suction vessel before starting the pump. This is very important for pumps fitted with un-flushed product seals, as WARNING these sealing arrangements must never be allowed to run dry. Before beginning operation, it is considered good practice to momentarily start/stop the pump to check the direction of rotation and ensure that the pump is free of obstructions.
3.7 Routine Maintenance. - Check oil levels regularly. WARNING - Change the oil every 12 months or 3000 operating hours, whichever is the sooner. - For lubricant capacities and grades refer to section 6.3. 3.8 Double Seal Flushing Locations - Flush fluid should always fill seal chamber from the bottom port and exit out the upper most port.

4.0 Revolution Disassembly and Assembly. Before starting any work on the pump the recommended Shutdown Procedure should be followed, refer to section 3.6. While disassembling or assembling the pump it is essential to ensure that the pump and/or components are secured to provide adequate stability. Large pump components or sub-assemblies should be installed using suitable devices.
