8. TRANSPORT AND STORAGE:
Always use a proper hoisting tool for lifting the pump.
Use the lifting eyes as shown in fig.9.1
To avoid oil spill, the pump must be transported and stored in the same position as the
installation. Or a sealing plug should be used for the oil tank.
After 6 months of storage, a general inspection is advised, before installing the pump.
9. OPTIONS:
9.1 Seal flushing:
Landustrie version 06-14 | Operation & Maintenance manual BTP-SERIES
Subject to modifications
In case of long storage, the pump must be protected
against moisture and heat.
Before storing the pump clean it with a water jet.
On a regular base (every three months), turn the
impeller by hand, this is necessary to prevent
sticking of the mechanical seal surfaces.
- Optional, the pump can be delivered with a
seal flushing connection.
- A ring , pos. 1, is mounted in the seal housing, with
a small fitting around the impeller hub or sealing
parts.
- The flushing water inlet is connected to pos. 3.
- The flushing water keeps the sealing room pos.2
behind the impeller free from the pumped liquid.
- We advise to use an electromagnetic valve and a
flow indicator in the flushing system so to be sure
to have flushing water during pump operation.
The needed flushing pressure must be at least
2/3 of the pump pressure.
