For other types of foundations, consult INOXPA. 4.4. COUPLING For selecting and installing couplings, please consult the supplier manual. On occasions, the starting torque of a positive displacement pump can be quite high.
4.5. PIPEWORK • In general, suction and discharge pipes must be installed in straight sections, with the minimum number of elbows and fittings, in order to reduce wherever possible any pressure losses that may be caused by friction. • Make sure that the pump’s ports are properly aligned with the pipework and have a diameter similar to that of the pipe connections.
4.6. AUXILIARY LINE 4.6.1. Heating/cooling jackets The heating/cooling jacket (S) is located at the front of the pump cover. There is also an option to fit a jacket in the area of the mechanical seal. Heating or cooling media can be connected as shown in the figure below. 4.7.
4.8. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION Only allow qualified personnel to connect the electric motors. Take the necessary precautions to prevent damage to cables and connections.
