INSTALLATION
4.1
UNPACKING AND CONTROL
During the reception of the pump, please follow the indications pointed out on the packing. Undertake a visual control to be
sure that no damage happened during the transport. If this is the case, please contact your Albin pump distributor as soon
as possible.
4.2
CONDITIONS OF USE
ALH pumps can work in atmospheres where the temperature is situated between - 20°C and +45°C. Pumps are delivered
painted with a 150µ polyurethane paint which allows them to resist to certain aggressive ambiences. They are designed for
indoor and outdoor setups.
4.3
SETUP
Before installing the pump, check the following points:
- The pump is delivered with a frame provided with four anchoring holes. It must be fixed on a solid base with a slope
which does not exceed 5mm for 1m and must be firmly fastened to this one.
- Require enough space around the pump to carry out maintenance. If such was not possible, consider the
moving of the pump to a space provided for this purpose.
- Make sure that the room is adequately ventilated to releive the heat generated by the pump. Leave a space
behind the motor ventilatior hood so as not to obstruct air intake.
4.4
PIPING
Suction line piping:
- The internal diameter of the piping must be superior to that of the pump hose (see §3.4.).
- It must be the shortest and most direct possible to avoid suction loss.
- Install a valve on the suction line especially if the pump is on load.
- Limit the presence of bends and make sure that they are as large as possible.
- Make sure that piping can support the service pressure of the pump.
Discharge line piping:
- The internal diameter of piping must be superior to that of the pump hose (see §3.4.).
- It must be the shortest and most direct possible to avoid discharge pressure loss.
- Limit the presence of bends and make sure that they are as large as possible.
- Provide a space for a pulsation dampener (see picture below).
- If there is a valve on the discharge line, install a pressure valve or a over pressure protection gauge to
avoid any possible damage to the pump and to the installation.
- It is recommended to install a Dillatoflex® pipe to absorb vibrations created by the pump pulsations.
During the pump ground study, provide enough space for the hose change as well as the possible installation
of a pulsation dampener. Distance (L) is the required length for hose removal.
