Automatic Stroke Adjustment If ordered with a controller you would have the XAE which is a microprocessor-based stroke length control device. The unit is physically attached and integrated into the pumps design. This controller allows for precise adjustment of output flow of a process media by means of stroke length position. For additional information on your XAE please download or review a copy of the IOM.
Whenever pumps are multiplexed, the eccentric shafts are positioned to place a uniform load on the driver. Before full disassembly, always note the relative positions of the eccentric shafts to each other so they can reassemble in the same orientation. Installation 5.1 Location When selecting an installation site or designing a skid package, consideration should be given to access...
All piping systems should include: Shutoff valves and unions (or flanges) on suction and discharge piping. This permits check valve inspection without draining long runs of piping. Shutoff valves should be the same size as connecting pipe. Ball valves are preferred since they offer minimum flow restriction.
5.4 Discharge Pressure Requirements PulsaPro Metering Pumps are designed for continuous service at the rated discharge pressure. If system suction pressure exceeds system discharge pressure, flow would be generated in addition to that caused by the pump, resulting in a reduction in accuracy and loss of control over the metering process.
Equipment Setup 6.1 Hydraulic Oil Fill The PulsaPro ships from the factory pre-filled with oil after testing is completed. When starting up you can verify the oil level from the provided sight glass on the gearbox as well as the Intermediate Head.
6.3 Drive Motor Wiring Wire the PulsaPro drive motor according to the motor vendor’s nameplates and instructions, and according to any appropriate national and local electrical codes and regulations. 6.4 Motor Rotation Verification of the motor direction is necessary at startup. The motor direction must be counterclockwise as indicated on the gearbox by a directional arrow.
Before operation of any PulsaPro pump, carefully ensure that all suction valves are in the open position. Verify that all filters and strainers are clean and clear. Ensure that any other potential causes of restriction have been addressed. Unrestricted flow of liquid to the suction side of the pump is critical to proper operation.
To construct a calibration chart, measure the flow rate several times at three or more stroke settings (i.e., 25, 50, 75, and 100), plot these values on linear graph paper, and draw a best fit line through the points. For stable conditions, this line should predict settings to attain required outputs. See figure 2 for example of a four-point test plotted onto a calibration chart.
All operations must be performed by qualified personnel. Prior to work: The power line is disconnected, and no parts are energized Any risk of accidental restart has been excluded Handled fluid, present in the pump head and pipelines is not pressurized With the pump off, suction and discharge valves are closed Pump has been adequately cleaned, when operating in aggressive chemical environments THESE MAINTENANCE SUGGESTIONS ARE NOT INTENDED AS “DO IT YOURSELF”...

to disconnect a union or flange. Remove the suction check valve assembly (ball contained within guide and seat), holding it together as a unit. Loosen the tie bar bolts on the discharge valve and spring the piping slightly to drain any liquid. Remove the discharge valve assembly, holding it together as a unit as before.
8.7 Hydraulic Performance Valve (HPV) PulsaPro pumps utilize the high-performance valve which is integrated within the dish plate to preserve hydraulic balance. The valve is factory preset and requires no maintenance provided the hydraulic oil remains clean. When the valve is actuated, oil can flow into the hydraulic system until the piston reaches the end of the suction stroke.
8.8 Hydraulic Bypass Valve (HBV) All PulsaPro pumps incorporate a hydraulic bypass valve which is an adjustable spring-loaded valve ported into the hydraulic cavity of the pump head. The valve is designed to protect the pump against excessive hydraulic pressure and will not limit or regulate system pressure. The valve is factory adjusted for pressure as originally specified, or at 10% above the rated pressure.
PTP Port Bypass Side Figure 38 8.9 Push to Purge (PTP) The PTP is a gravity operated ball check valve that automatically removes gases from the hydraulic system. On each discharge stroke of the pump, hydraulic pressure drives the ball off the lower seat, expelling any accumulation of gases at the top of the hydraulic system.
Under normal operating conditions this ongoing process removes accumulation of gas long before they are visible or detrimental to pump operation. To accelerate hydraulic startup, pressing the spring-loaded button at the top of the valve holds the valve momentarily open so that large amounts of gas can be instantly purged.

APPENDIX I 11.1 PULSAlarm® Leak Detection System The PULSAlarm® leak detection system utilizes a two-layer PTFE diaphragm, coupled to a pressure switch. The system is initially primed by filling the void within the detection assembly and between the diaphragm layers with a barrier fluid. The setup process then bleeds excess fluid from between the diaphragm layers until they are in close contact.

11.3 Priming of Leak Detection Diaphragm IF THE LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM IS OPENED TO THE ATMOSPHERE DURING MAINTENANCE OR INSPECTION, THE SYSTEM MUST BE RE-PRIMED PROPERLY TO AVOID DIAPHRAGM DAMAGE AND ENSURE PROPER LEAK DETECTION OPERATION AND SYSTEM PERFORMANCE. THE STANDARD FACTORY INTERMEDIATE FLUID IS A SILICON OIL. IF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER SPECIFIED MEDIA IS USED, IT MUST BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION.
APPENDIX II 12.1 Piping Calculations All reciprocating metering pumps require a net positive suction head (NPIP R ). Refer to Table 1 for the (NPIP R ) required for PULSAPRO pump models. The NPIP R is defined as the pressure required above the absolute vapor pressure of the process fluid at the pumping temperature.
12.2 System Back Pressure The system back pressure must exceed the suction pressure by at least five (5) psi (0.35bar) to prevent flow through, however it must not exceed the rated discharge pressure of the pump. Flow through can be defined as the process liquid flowing from a higher pressure to a lower pressure, which attributes to pump failure and undesired flow at pump shutdown.
