The ambient temperature in which the pump runs · Higher ambient temperatures will result
in
shorter
service intervals
(refer
to
Table 6
for the ambient operating temperature range)
The temperature and flow rate of the cooling water delivered to the pump · higher
water
temperatures and
a lower flow rates will result in shorter service intervals
(refer
to
Table 9
for cooling

details)
Rapidity of cycling · rapid cycling applications
will
result in shorter service intervals
Application· processes that require a Nitrogen purge (EPX N-series pumps)
will
typically result
