Contact your supplier or the factory for information about special pump versions and applications. Applications VM, VMC, VMN series in-line pumps booster pumps are designed for a wide range of applications in various industries for water treatment, water boosting, water supply, cooling, cleaning, etc.
Minimum inlet pressure NPSH To avoid cavitation, make sure that there is a minimum pressure on the suction side of the pump. NPSHA: Net Positive Suction head Available The net positive suction head available is a function of the pump suction system. NPSHR: Net Positive Suction head required The net positive suction head required is a function of the pump design at the operating point on the pump...
Installation Always refer to the local or national regulations and codes relating to the selection of the installation site, the water and power connections, etc. Position Pumps should be installed in a protected environment, not exposed to weather. Make sure that there are no obstructions to prevent proper motor cooling. Anchoring The pump must be secured to a solid foundation by bolts through the holes in the flange or base plate.
Description If it is necessary to increase the diameter of the suction pipe, place an eccentric reducer between the check valve and the flexible pipe section. Using elbows will increase the flow resistance. Wide bends will result in lesser flow resistance. 10 The piping must have a level or positive gradient to prevent the formation of air pockets.

For VM, VMC, VMN 1, 3, 5 series For these pumps, it is advisable to open the bypass valve during start-up. The bypass valve connects the suction and discharge sides of the pump, thus making the filling procedure easier. When the operation is stable, the bypass valve can be closed.
If not, then the motor does not require regular maintenance. • If the pump and motor are used infrequently with long intervals of non-operation, then we recommend that the motor be greased. VM, VMC, VMN 1, 3, 5 Coupling adjustments VM, VMC, VMN 1, 3, 5 Coupling adjustments ...
