Installation, Operation and Maintenance APP 16-22 pumps
Remedy
3.1.1 Check uid salinity.
3.1.2 Check temperature.
3.1.3 Check pressure drop across RO membrane.
3.2.1 Check that electric motor is correctly
sized.
3.2.2 Check internal parts (see item 2.1).
3.2.3 Systems with more than one electric
motor installed:
Start motors simultaneously.
3.3.1 Please contact Danfoss High Pressure
Pumps sales o ce.
3.4.1 Dismantle pump and check for wear.
Comments
Pump conditions may change (more salt, lower
water temperature or scaling of RO membrane)
causing higher pressure, resulting in higher
motor torque.
Pumps run in parallel with cascade start, may
switch o the motor relay due to too high
torque caused by high outlet pressure.
If the electric motor is too small for the APP, APP S
or APP S 674 pump, it cannot provide su cient
torque.
Too heavy damage in the pump will increase
friction causing a high torque (see item 6,
Typical signs of wear).
