2. The maintenance that can be done on the system is as follows:
A. Do an inspection of the connections, pipelines, cables and fittings inside the
pump enclosure, refer to Inspect the connections, pipelines, cables and
fittings on page 67.
B. Examine and clean the exhaust pipe, elbow, and check valve.
Note:
The system is supplied with a trapped O-ring or a metal seal for the exhaust
connection, based on the pump type and anticipated exhaust temperatures.
Make sure that seals are always replaced with the same type.
The system requires no maintenance. Pump protection sensors installed in the system
do not require routine maintenance. The decommissioning operations that can be
carried out, refer to Relocate the system for decommissioning on page 86 and Drain the
cooling water for decommissioning on page 87. Maintenance must be carried out by our
service centres refer to Service on page 91. The frequency of maintenance operations
depends on the process.
