START-UP
Pump air supply pressure should be regulated
Open the fluid suction (IN) line valve, if necessary.
Open the fluid discharge (OUT) line valve, if necessary.
Start with air regulator at low pressure setting. Increase or decrease
pressure to attain desired flow, up to 60 psig (4.1 bar) at the pump.
Table 1: Consumption / Efficiency can be used to determine approximate air
consumption.
Refer to Troubleshooting, Section 5, if pump fails to start.
ATTENTION:
Prolonged periods (>5 Minutes) of dry running will damage critical
internal pump parts.
CAUTION:
When handling potentially dangerous fluids under pressure,
the pump and its fittings should be placed in an enclosure.
3.1 HIGH TEMPERATURE OPERATION
Pump operation at temperatures above 60
C requires periodic tightening of the
tie bolt nuts. The frequency of this procedure is best established by the user.
Refer to Section 4 on Maintenance.
3.2 PERFORMANCE CHARTS
Pumping capacity is a function of air supply pressure and volume, suction head,
suction line restrictions, discharge head, discharge line restriction, and fluid
specific gravity and viscosity.
