6 Commissioning/Start-up/Shutdown
Refer to the maximum permissible fluid temperature and ambient temperature
indicated on the name plate and/or in the data sheet.
6.2.4.2 Density of the fluid handled
The power input of the pump set will change in proportion to the density of the fluid
handled.
CAUTION
Impermissibly high density of the fluid handled
Motor overload!
▷ Observe the information about fluid density in the data sheet.
▷ Make sure the motor has sufficient power reserves.
6.2.4.3 Minimum level of fluid handled
DANGER
Pump set running dry
Explosion hazard!
▷ Never allow an explosion-proof pump set to run dry!
CAUTION
Fluid level below the specified minimum
Damage to the pump set by cavitation and air-entraining vortices!
▷ Never allow the fluid level to drop below the specified minimum.
The pump set is ready for operation when the fluid level has reached dimension "t
as a minimum (see general arrangement drawing/outline drawing).
Fig. 28: Example: Minimum level of fluid handled
6.2.4.4 Abrasive fluids
Do not exceed the maximum permissible solids content specified in the data sheet.
When the pump handles fluids containing abrasive substances, increased wear of the
hydraulic system and shaft seal are to be expected. In this case, reduce the commonly
recommended inspection intervals.
