Maximum flash pressure :- 1.5 bar g Maximum back pressure :- 2 bar g maximum condensate pressure :- 10 bar g Total back pressure on FJP has to be more than the flash pressure for its working Recommended motive pressure = Total back pressure + 2 bar g Total Back pressure = {H * 0.1 bar g }+ FP bar g + LP bar g H= Height to which condensate is to be lifted in mtrs.
The motive steam used to pump the condensate from pump body is recovered in the flash vessel when exhaust stroke takes place. This exhaust steam can be used along with flash steam from the flash outlet. Forbes Marshall Flash Jet Pump...

Startup and Commissioning: For trouble free operation of FJP, it is important that the single orifice float trap internals, pump internals & check valves are not subjected to dirt or other hard particles. Therefore, prior to bringing FJP in to operation, please ensure that the entire condensate piping circuit is thoroughly flushed.

Carefully slide the new cover assembly into the pump body, whilst ensuring the new gasket is carefully aligned with the gasket faces and no parts of it are trapped or pinched outside the sealing areas. Refit the Base bolts ensuring they are sequentially tightened in opposing pairs, gradually increasing torque to 90-100 N m Carefully reconnect the motive steam supply and the exhaust lines to the connections.
