1.4 Disposal Samson’s liquid ring pump is manufactured so that most of the device can be reused/recycled. Samson Pumps offer users of the company’s pumps the option of returning used pumps to be restored or scrapped. Alternatively, the pump must be taken apart and sorted into its separate components, by the customer (see section 7 for the pump’s material).

SLP2100/2700/3100 2.2 Specifications A failure to meet these specifications may result in damage to the pump Description Minimum Maximum Ambient temperature, operation Below 0°C - see chapter 5.3 -20°C 55°C Ambient temperature, storage -20°C 55°C Humidity 100% Intake temperature, suction side 60°C Intake temperature, water 60°C...
SLP2100/2700/3100 2.3.7 Correction factor - Temperature When the temperature of the water exceeds 15°C, the pump’s capacity will be affected with respect to the specified values. To determine the output at a higher temperature, the correction factor can be used. Capacity at water temperature higher than 15°C : DOC1628005_1A t>15...
SLP2100/2700/3100 2.4 Handling and transport The pump must not be used if it is damaged or the identification plate is missing The pump must be transported in such way that it is not exposed to vibrations and impacts that can overload the bearings. The pump must be inspected for damages upon delivery.
SLP2100/2700/3100 2.5 Pump storage and draining procedure A failure to comply with the requirements for storing the pump may result in internal damage to the device If the temperature is below freezing point of the service liquid, it could damage the pump Under these conditions, the pump must be drained completely All plugs and protective covers must be fitted during storage The pump’s water is drained on delivery, and the pump can be immediately stored in accordance with the...

SLP2100/2700/3100 3.1 Function and design of a liquid separator Together with the air there will be a water flow out of the pump up to 6 m3/h. The water will be separated from the air in the liquid separator. Depending of the size of particles, water will be carried with the water when the air velocity is more than 3-4 m/s.
SLP2100/2700/3100 3.2 Air cooling with fan cooler Compression of air inside the liquid ring pump will create heat that is transferred to the water. Therefore, it can be necessary to install a fan cooler depending on the expected use, the climate etc. The time it takes to heat up the water also depends on for example ambient temperature, suction pressure, amount of water and the cooling effect in the truck itself.
SLP2100/2700/3100 3.3 Fan cooler The fan cooler will increase the heat output from the construction and thereby stabilize the temperature at a lower level. However, this cooler will use the air to cool down the water and therefore we will always see that the temperature will be stabilized above the ambient temperature.
SLP2100/2700/3100 Summary Pump model Description SLP 3100 Heat input from technical specifications 68 kW in Pump Ambient temperature 28°C Maximum Working Temperature of the water. This is determined by you. The temperature 40°C has influence on the pump performance Temperature difference Δ...
SLP2100/2700/3100 3.6 Cavitation When the temperature reaches the boiling point of the water, steam bobbles will be created in the liquid ring. These bobbles cannot exist when they enter the discharge side of the pump and therefore they will collapse. The impact force on the surface of the rotor and flow plate will damage the pump and can lead to a total breakdown.
SLP2100/2700/3100 4 INSTALLATION AND START-UP 4.1 Securing the pump Installation requirements must be observed, otherwise there is a risk of damage The pump must be installed on a stable foundation, which must be level and stable, so that the pump is not twisted or exposed to a profile distortion.
SLP2100/2700/3100 4.3 Connecting the water The water must be connected to the pump at the hose connection (B), see illustration below. If required, the hose nipple can be dismounted from (B) and mounted on desired location (A). DOC1627470_1B 4.4 Transmission The pump can be connected direct or through belt transmission.
SLP2100/2700/3100 4.5 Prior to start-up • Do not start the pump without water, as this will damage the mechanical shaft seals • Do not start the pump if it is completely filled with water • Do not start the pump before the grease cartridges have been activated, as this can damage the pump (if equipped) •...

SLP2100/2700/3100 5.4 Lubrication of bearings Over-lubrication of bearings may result in bearing damage! Do NOT exceed the amount of grease specified below! The bearings must be lubricated with grease of type SKF LGWA2, per 500 duty hours. It is recommended to lubricate the bearings while pump is running.
