5.5 Pipes 5.5.1 Pipe installation When installing the pipes, the pump housing must not be stressed by the pipes. The inlet and outlet pipes must be of an adequate size, taking the pump inlet pressure into account. The pipes must be installed in a way that air pockets are avoided, especially on the inlet side of the pump.
5.6 Vibration damping 5.5.2 Direct mounting in pipes 5.6.1 Elimination of noise and vibrations To ensure quiet operation, suspend the In order to achieve optimum operation and minimum pipes from suitable pipe hangers. noise and vibration, consider vibration damping of the pump.
5.6.2 Vibration dampers To prevent the transmission of vibrations to buildings, we recommend that you isolate the pump foundation from building parts by means of vibration dampers. This decision must be made by the customer or designer or consultant of the installation. The selection of the right vibration damper requires the following data: •...
On all pumps, the diameters of the inlet and outlet flanges are different which results in different flow velocities at the two flanges. Consequently, the pressure gauge on the outlet flange will not show the pressure stated in the technical documentation, but a value which may be up to 1.5 bar or approximately 15 m of head lower.
The table below shows the numbers and sizes of The operating voltage and frequency are stated on cable entry holes of the terminal box of Grundfos MG the nameplate. Make sure that the motor is suitable motors according to the standard EN 50262.
6.5 Frequency converter operation Pumps fitted with synchronous motors must be All three-phase motors can be connected to a connected to a Grundfos CUE frequency converter. frequency converter. Frequency converter operation will often expose the motor insulation system to a heavier load and cause the motor to be more noisy than usual due to eddy currents caused by voltage peaks.
7. Startup 7.2.2 Priming the product in inlet operation with non-return valve The inlet pipe and the pump must be filled with liquid Do not start the pump until it has been and vented before the pump is started. filled with liquid and vented. 1.
7.4 Starting up the pump 7.2.3 Priming the product in open systems where the liquid level is below the pump inlet 1. Fully open the isolating valve on the inlet side of 1. If an isolating valve is fitted on the inlet side of the the pump and leave the isolating valve on the pump, the valve must be fully open.
5. Check the overload by measuring the motor Maximum number of motor starts current consumption and comparing the value to per hour the rated current stated on the motor nameplate. Frame size Number of poles In case of overload, throttle the valve on the outlet side until the motor is no longer overloaded.
Make sure that the bearings are filled with the toxic. If you request Grundfos to service the product, recommended grease to prevent moisture from contact Grundfos with details about the pumped liquid entering around the shaft.
11. Taking the product out of operation End suction pumps equipped with mechanical shaft seals are matched to the operating conditions for which the pump was sold. Observe the following 11.1 Protecting the pump during periods of precautions to avoid shaft seal damage and achieve inactivity and frost maximum shaft seal life.
12. Fault finding the product CAUTION Hot or cold surface DANGER Minor or moderate personal injury Electric shock ‐ When pumping hot or cold liquids, Death or serious personal injury make sure that persons cannot ‐ Before removing the terminal box accidentally come into contact with hot cover and before removing or or cold surfaces.
