3 Installation
Read the instructions carefully and pay special attention to the warnings! Always check the pump before operation.
- See pre-use check in section 3.3 Pre-use check
The pump is heavy.
Alfa Laval therefore recommends the use of a lifting crane when handling the pump.
Step 4
1. Ensure that the pipelines are routed correctly.
2. Ensure that the connections are tight.
Remember seal rings
Correct
Few bends
Step 5
Avoid stress on the pump
Pay special attention to
-
Vibrations
-
Thermal expansion of the tubes
-
Excessive welding
-
Overloading of the pipelines
Note
In the event of leakage at the shaft seal, the medium will drip from
the slot into the bottom of the adapter. In this instance, Alfa Laval
recommends placing a drip tray underneath the slot to collect
the liquid.
Step 6
To ensure optimal function of the selfpriming capacity, LKH Prime
must be installed in such a way that ensures liquid is in the pump
on start-up e.g. with a swan neck design as illustrated.
Note
Max running time when releasing air only should not exceed 15
min.
