2.3 Intended use
▪
The pump (set) must only be operated in the fields of application and within the
use limits specified in the other applicable documents.
▪
Only operate pumps/pump sets which are in perfect technical condition.
▪
Do not operate the pump in partially assembled condition.
▪
Only use the pump to handle the fluids described in the data sheet or product
literature of the pump model or variant.
▪
The pump must only be operated with the components selected by KSB.
▪
Never operate the pump without the fluid to be handled.
▪
Observe the minimum flow rates indicated in the data sheet or product literature
(to prevent overheating, bearing damage, etc).
▪
Observe the minimum flow rate and maximum flow rate indicated in the data
sheet or product literature (to prevent overheating, mechanical seal damage,
cavitation damage, bearing damage, etc).
▪
Do not throttle the flow rate on the suction side of the pump (to prevent
cavitation damage).
▪
Consult the manufacturer about any use or mode of operation not described in
the data sheet or product literature.
Prevention of foreseeable misuse
▪
The pressure of the fluid handled must not exceed the maximum permissible
pump discharge pressure.
▪
The temperature of the fluid handled must not exceed the permissible maximum
value.
▪
Observe the information on minimum flow rates specified in the data sheet (to
prevent overheating, damage to sealing elements, damage to bearings, etc.).
▪
Observe the information on maximum flow rates specified in the data sheet (to
prevent overheating, damage to sealing elements, cavitation damage, damage to
bearings, etc.).
▪
Take appropriate measures in compliance with the local regulations to prevent
operation above or below the operating limits due to operating errors,
malfunctions or procedural errors.
▪
Only operate pumps which are in perfect technical condition. Immediately
remedy any safety-relevant faults.
▪
Do not operate the pump (set) in partially assembled condition.
2.4 Personnel qualification and training
All personnel involved must be fully qualified to transport, install, operate, maintain
and inspect the machinery this manual refers to.
The responsibilities, competence and supervision of all personnel involved in
transport, installation, operation, maintenance and inspection must be clearly
defined by the operator.
Deficits in knowledge must be rectified by means of training and instruction
provided by sufficiently trained specialist personnel. If required, the operator can
commission the manufacturer/supplier to train the personnel.
Training on the pump (set) must always be supervised by technical specialist
personnel.
