AM SERIES Procedure Items to Note 1. Suction condition must satisfy NPSHa>NPSHr+0.5 m. 2. Reduce inlet Head as much as possible. Use straight and short piping. 3. The pipes should have adequate structural support and shouldn’t use the pump as its primary support. (see Fig. 4.1) 4.

AM SERIES Procedure Items to Note 1. The weight of the outlet piping should be properly supported to prevent putting excessive stress on the pump. (see Fig. 4.1) 2. A priming piping must be installed if the suction system does not General employ positive pressure, i.e.
Page 10
AM SERIES Procedure Items to Note 1. There should be at least a 1.5 diameter distance between the pipe inlet and the closest tank wall to prevent circulation. (see Fig. 4.4) 2. The submerge depth of the inlet should be at least 0.5 m or at least twice the pipe diameter below the liquid surface.

AM SERIES Procedure Items to Note A check valve should be installed in the following situations: 1. Outlet piping is long. 2. Head of outlet is more than 15 m. Check valve 3. Discharge pressure exceeds 1.5 kg/cm and flow rate exceeds 2.5 m/sec 4.

AM SERIES 5. Notes for Operation 5.1 Dry-Running (1) Our pump use the transfer fluid as its internal cooling system, therefore, dry-running the pump can cause the temperature to rise to a dangerous level that may seriously damage the pump.
AM SERIES Should foreign matter enter the pump, it may cause pump damage or failure. Turn off the power at once and remove the obstruction. 5.5 Minimum Flow Our pump uses the pumped fluid as its cooling and lubricating system. A low flow rate may result in increasingly high temperature within the pump, and increased radial and axial force, thus, affecting the pump’s performance and service life.
AM SERIES (3) During power outages, shut off the pump’s power supply and close the outlet valve. (4) When switching on the pump with the outlet valve closed, the outlet pressure should increase. If the pressure fails to rise, or if the pressure is too low, shut down the pump and check the piping and wiring.
