6.2.3.2 Density of the fluid handled
The pump input power changes in proportion to the density of the fluid handled.
CAUTION
Impermissibly high density of the fluid handled
Motor overload!
▷
Observe the information on fluid density in the data sheet.
▷
Make sure the motor has sufficient power reserves.
6.2.3.3 Abrasive fluids
Do not exceed the maximum permissible solids content specified in the data sheet.
When the pump handles fluids containing abrasive substances, increased wear of the
hydraulic system and shaft seal are to be expected. In this case, reduce the commonly
recommended inspection intervals.
6.3 Commissioning/start-up
