NOTE Use of frequency converters When using frequency converters, please note that the frequency must not be reduced below 20 Hz, in order to ensure the minimum required volume flow. The frequency must not be increased above 60 Hz, to avoid overload of the motor. Frequency converters must be set with a steep start-up/shut-down ramp so that the pressure-side non- return valve can open/close quickly enough (1 s has proven successful).
3. Technical information NOTE Validity of the information The specified functions, typical values and materials refer to standard types of the product. For special execution please observe the information in the order-related documentation 3.1 Design and function of the product The liquid refrigerant flows from the separator trough a conical filter in the suction connection into the suction housing of the refrigerant pump.

CAUTION Use suitable materials Impact to functionality and damage to health in case of contact with the working medium.
5.2 Connecting the refrigerant pumps The suction line should be connected to the vessel in such a way that gas intake from the return line of the evaporators is avoided (e.g., return line from the evaporators with bend against the vessel wall and at a sufficient distance).
Page 30
The vortex breaker should be made of crossed plates with cover plate to prevent vortex formation in the vessel or manifold. Suitable vortex breakers can be obtained from TH. WITT. Above the vortex breaker a liquid level of at least 50mm should be maintained at all times.
Dimension of the pump inlet To ensure the function of the refrigerant pump even with a low-pressure difference and the associated large volume flow, the diameter of the suction line specified in the order-related documents must be ad- hered to as a minimum. NRP W x/5 NRP W x/12 50 Hz...

Piping of condensers in CO plants To minimise gas intake into the refrigerant pump and avoid unnecessary pressure fluctuations that can adversely affect the pump, it has proven good practise to immerse the line coming from the condenser into the liquid charge (, i.e. below the minimum liquid level) in the CO vessel.
WARNING Observe these Safety instructions at all times as well as the rules for behaviour in an emergency at the beginning of this document! CAUTION Use suitable materials Impact on functionality and damage to health in case of contact with the working medium. Materials used for installation must comply with the applicable regulations and be used professionally in accordance with their technical data.

guaranteed in front of the motor flange. Note that the motor cooling line can be dismantled! (see chapter 5.4.1) 500-600 mm Fig. 16: Example of a refrigerant pump suspened with a bracket suitable for insulation CAUTION Avoid dropping the pump (Crushing injuries or bruises from the weight of the pump) To prevent the pump from falling down when loosening the threaded rod, it must always be secured against turning loose by means of a lock nut on the pipe bracket.

The pump can now be lowered by about 20 mm via the threaded rod and swiveled around the axis of the threaded rod until the conical filter can be easily removed. Fig. 17: Swiveling the refrigerant pump to remove the conical filter When lowering, it is essential to ensure that the threaded rod is not unscrewed from the bracket.
Alignment of the product During installation ensure that the unit is aligned horizontally. Flange alignment Make sure that the flange springs and grooves fit well into each other. Do not use the screw connections to stretch or align the piping. Using flange bolts to bridge a distance between pumps and flanges may destroy the fixing points, in any case unacceptable stresses will occur.

Fig. 18: Connection scheme CAUTION Wrong rotation direction, pump cannot build up pressure Damage due to reverse operation of the pump The correct direction of rotation is marked with an error on the motor cover for right turning motor. Check the direction of rotation with a phase sequence sensor.

An overload protection should protect the refrigerant pump against excessive current consumption. The value to be set should be smaller than the max. current I for the refrigerant used. Repair switch It is recommended to provide a repair switch near the refrigerant pump. This switch has proven good practice for commissioning and maintenance work.

If insoluble oils are used in the refrigeration system, it is particularly important to ensure that any oil that settles in the separator does not get into the pump. Check the pump regularly for oil accumulation. Too much oil in the pump will cause damage! It is recommended to order the corresponding oil drain valve (EA10 GÜ/GB) for deoiling the pump.
7.2 Maintenance Removal of the product The refrigerant must be removed before disassembly of the refrigerant pump or before changing the con- ical filter. It is recommended to allow the refrigerant to evaporate into the gas space of the separator via the engine cooling line after closing the suction and discharge valves.
8. Decommissioning and disposal NOTE For temporary decommissioning of the product, the labelling requirement "out of service" must be ob- served. The separate, environmentally sound disposal of materials promotes the recyclability of valuable materials. Therefore, at the end of the normal service life, the product itself and all individual parts belonging to it, e.g., auxiliary materials, packaging and wearing parts, must be taken to the recycling collection point.
