    AISI 316 PUMP DESCRIPTION PHOENIX series pumps are air-operated, double-diaphragm positive-displacement pumps, designed and manufactured for pumping fluids that are chemically compatible with the constructive materials of the pump. The characteristics of the fluid (pressure, temperature, chemical reactivity, specific weight, viscosity, vapor pressure) and of the environment must be compatible with the pump characteristics and are defined in the 29 REV.

    When the pump reaches its original starting point, each diaphragm has carried out a complete pumping cycle. IMPROPER USE: WARNING: use of a PHOENIX pump for any other use other than that previously described in the chapter be considered improper use of the pump and is therefore forbidden by FLUIMAC SRL.

    *Displacement per stroke may vary based on suction condition, discharge head, air pressure and fluid type. WARRANTY If there is ever a defect, please contact the Fluimac srl After-Sales Service, your dealer or the nearest Customer Service Centre where you will receive assistance as quickly as possible and please provide the following: A.

    2. Any fault or anomaly must be reported to Fluimac srl within eight days. 3. Warranty repair will be carried 4. Warranty shall not be extended in case of repair or replacement. 5. Faulty parts must be forwarded to the Manufacturer who reserves the right to test them in this own factory to identify the fault or any external reason that may have caused it.
  • Page 11 If the diaphragm should break, replace these elements completely if they have come into contact with the product. WARNING: The air-driven motor of the PHOENIX pumps is self-lubricating and will not require any greasing. Therefore, avoid using lubricated and non-dried air.

    of explosion, the diaphragm must be disassembled and checked every 5 million cycles and replaced every 20 million cycles. WARNING: in the case of diaphragms total breaking, the fluid may enter in the pneumatic circuit, da- mage it and come out from the discharge port. Therefore, it is necessary to convey the air discharge in a piping up to a safe area.
  • Page 13: Installation

    WARNING: Position and secure the pump horizontally using hangers fixed to the ceiling or feet resting on the ground. The product delivery manifold must always be positioned on the upper part, arrows shown onto the pump casing are always pointing upwards. Position the pump correctly on the site chosen for installation, as close as possible to the point of collection and secure onto the feet using the...
  • Page 14 USE THE PLANT SOLUTIONS INDICATED IN THE FOLLOWING DIAGRAM: YES: use flexible pipes reinforced with rigid spiral to connect the hydraulic circuit of the pump. Rigid piping may cause strong vibrations and manifolds breaking. Do not use pipes with nominal diameter smaller than the diameter of the pump connections.
  • Page 15 action of corrosion and application of a load, which may cause parts subjected to stress to break suddenly and unexpectedly, especially at low temperatures. Check if the connection tubes to the pump are clean inside and do no contain any working residue. Apart from the check valve that enables cutting off the pump if there is a fault, do not install any other components on the pump suction (couplings, elbows, valves, filters, etc.) which could compromise the pump suction performance and cause the premature breakage to the membrane.
  • Page 16 4. Adjust the network pressure of the compressed air to guarantee a pressure of NOT LESS THAN 2 bars AND NOT MORE THAN 7 bars when the pump is running. For PHOENIX pumps equipped WITH RUBBER BALLS, DO NOT EXCEED 5 bars. Lower or higher pressure may cause functional problems or pump breakage, product spills and damages to persons or objects.
  • Page 17 WARNING: For installation in Zone 1, should the user think that the temperature limits set forth in this manual may be exceeded during service, a protective device must be installed on the system to prevent the global temperature (fluid + ambient) from reaching temperatures higher than 95°C in the case of class T4 metallic or PVDF pumps or 65°C for T4 class PP (polypropylene) pumps.

    Wash with water only if chemical compatibility allows it; alternatively use the suitable solvent that does not generate hazardous exothermic reactions; consult the fluid supplier to decide the most suitable fire-prevention method; Empty the pump in case of long periods of disuse (particularly with fluids which are particularly tending to crystallize);...
  • Page 19 Check for the absence of deformations and / or breakages on the valve seats; BALLS AND BALLS SEATS MAINTENANCE To clean and/or replace the balls and ball seats, proceed as follows: WARNING: before carrying out this operation all external surfaces of the pump must be cleaned using a damp cloth.

    DEMOLITION AND DISPOSAL The PHOENIX pump does not contain dangerous parts; however, when they are worn out, they must be disposed of in the following manner. WARNING: Discharge any residual fluid from the pump. In case of dangerous, toxic fluids and/or otherwise noxious products, wash and treat as suitable: danger of injuries, damage to health and/or death.
