  • Page 10: Manual Introduction

    Operations & maintenance manual – ASTRA evo (DDE) 0.5 MANUAL INTRODUCTION This Use Manual is an integral part of the pump, it is a “Safety Device” and contains important information so that the buyer and his staff can install, use and maintain the pump in a constant state of efficiency.

  • Page 11: General Notes

    Chemical composition of the pumped fluid, concentration, temperature, amount of abrasive solids can radically change the applicability of the configured pump or significantly reduce its duration. ARGAL assumes no responsibility in this regard. ASTRA evo pumps are self-priming.
  • Page 12 Operations & maintenance manual – ASTRA evo (DDE) ASTRA evo pumps cannot be used to generate the vacuum. The purchaser of the pump must be sure that he has correctly evaluated the chemical-physical characteristics of the fluid. Note: The maximum temperature of water in continuous operation (DESIGN TEMPERATURE) depends on the type of construction materials (indicated on the nameplate).

  • Page 13: Air Treatment System

    Table 4 0.6.2 AIR TREATMENT SYSTEM WARNING: the pneumatic supply of ASTRA evo series pumps must be carried out with oil-free, filtered, dry and un lubricated air. Avoid pressure drops by using pipes and controlling elements having characteristics suitable for the pump.
  • Page 14 The device n° 1 (On-off valve) is in charge of the customer/installer. The maximum air feeding pressure for the ASTRA evo pumps is 8 bar. Higher air pressure can damage the pump and may cause injury to personnel in vicinity of the pump.

  • Page 16: Safety: Warnings For Transport - Installation - Use - Stop Of The Pump

    Operations & maintenance manual – ASTRA evo (DDE) A PUMPING CYCLE The pneumatic distribution system sends compressed air behind one of the two diaphragms (A), which deforming causes a reduction in volume in the chamber than pushes the fluid towards the discharge circuit.

  • Page 17: Receiving Inspection

    Operations & maintenance manual – ASTRA evo (DDE) WARNING: The DDE 400 and DDE 650 pumps must not be lifted manually. To lift them it is necessary to provide special lifting hooks/accessories, to be connected to the pump discharge manifold.

  • Page 18: Foundation

    If fixation is needed for an installation, make sure the foundation is able to absorb vibrations. As option ARGAL provides special anti-vibration rubber devices. It is essential for the operation of the pump to mount the pump with the feet in a downward direction (see sketch);...

  • Page 19: Suction And Discharge Piping

    Operations & maintenance manual – ASTRA evo (DDE) 1.5 SUCTION AND DISCHARGE PIPING WARNING: The suction and discharge piping should be flexible to prevent undue stress and strain on the pump connections. Alternatively use flexible joints between the discharge/suction connection and any rigid fixed piping.

  • Page 20: Air Connection

    Operations & maintenance manual – ASTRA evo (DDE) 1.5.3 AIR CONNECTION  Screw the air hose into the air intake on the central casing of the pump.  We recommend that the diameter of the flexible hose must conform to the values shown in (Table 6) or above.
  • Page 21 Operations & maintenance manual – ASTRA evo (DDE) 4. Use suction and discharge pressure gauges with pressure switches for additional protection. Cut off the pump when there is an excessive discharge pressure (to protect the system) and an excessive suction depression (to protect the pump).

  • Page 22: First Start Up

    WARNING: In the event of diaphragm failure, the fluid may contaminate the pneumatic circuit. ASTRA evo 400 and 650 are equipped with a conveyed air exhaust, in order to convey the air exhaust in a pipe up to a safe area;...

  • Page 23: Operation

    Operations & maintenance manual – ASTRA evo (DDE)  The performance of the pump can be adjusted by using the air flow regulator valve and the pressure reducer, supplied with the air regulation KIT. The performance can also be adjusted by the two way valve on the discharge side of the system.

  • Page 24: Stop Of The Pump

    Therefore, it is necessary to pipe the air discharge to a safe area. ARGAL recommends to use appropriate individual safety equipment and protection equipment for the environment.
  • Page 25 ARGAL pumps. WARNING! The maximum air pressure for ASTRA EVO pumps is 8 bar. Higher air pressure than 8 bar can damage the pump and may cause injury to the machinists in proximity of the pump.
  • Page 26 Operations & maintenance manual – ASTRA evo (DDE) CAUTION! The increase in temperature can cause damage to the pump and/or pipes. DANGER for the personnel in vicinity of the plant (pump and piping)! Avoid rapid temperature variations and do not exceed the maximum temperature specified when ordering the pump.
  • Page 27 CAUTION! ASTRA evo pumps cannot be used to pump Acetylene, Hydrogen and Carbon Disulfide. CAUTION! The air distributor of the ASTRA evo pumps is self-lubricating and does not require any greasing. Therefore, avoid using lubricated and non-dried air. WARNING! Ascertain that no abnormal noise or vibrations appears during operation. Otherwise, stop the pump immediately.

  • Page 28: Maintenance

    Operations & maintenance manual – ASTRA evo (DDE) It is very important to recognize systems with well arranged, identifiable piping, suitably equipped shut-off valves and comfortable compartments and passages for operators who must inspect the pump (since the pressure developed by the pump may promote failures in the system if it is defective or worn).
