Pressure testing and flushing

The system must be flushed and pressure tested before 

connecting the pump. If corrosive liquid, such as water 

is used, the system must be thoroughly drained, dried 

and protected against corrosion after having been 

flushed.

Before starting:

After installation and whenever it can be assumed that 

the pump has been emptied, the pump must be thor-

oughly filled with liquid. See fig 11.

           Make sure the prime mover is locked out 

and can not be started accidentally. 

Direction of rotation

When the pump is ready to be started, switch the motor 

briefly on and off and check that the drive motor rotates 

in the correct direction as indicated by the rotation ar-

row. The arrow is placed on the side of the front cover 

5010 as well as on riveted steel plates on the connect-

ing frame 003.

Differential pressure

Differential pressures bellow 1 bar is strictly forbidden 

as the magnetic coupling under these conditions may 

loose its cooling flow and cause an overheating of the 

magnetic coupling with a risk of a potential fire as a 

result.

We do strongly recommend magnetic coupled pumps to 

be equipped with a differential pressure monitoring de-

vice that stops the pump automatically if the differential 

pressure for some reason should drop to below 1bar.

Air in the pumped fluid

It is forbidden to use the LPE Optiline pump with fluids 

that contains more than 0,2% of air due to the risk of 

ignition during an eventual overheating of the pump.
