Magnochem-Bloc
DANGER
Excessive temperature in the magnetic coupling and heat exchanger area due to
insufficient cooling
Explosion hazard!
Fire hazard!
Damage to the pump set!
Risk of burns!
▷ Monitor the containment shroud temperature.
▷ If the temperatures rises, clean the heat exchanger and the pipelines.
CAUTION
Increased wear due to dry running
Damage to the pump set!
▷ Never operate the pump set without liquid fill.
▷ Never close the shut-off element in the suction line and/or supply line during
pump operation.
CAUTION
Impermissibly high temperature of fluid handled
Damage to the pump!
▷ Prolonged operation against a closed shut-off element is not permitted
(heating up of the fluid).
▷ Observe the temperature limits in the data sheet and in the section on
operating limits. (
ð Section 6.2, Page 39)
While the pump is in operation, observe and check the following:
▪ The pump must run quietly and free from vibrations at all times.
▪ Check the static sealing elements for leakage.
▪ Check for running noises.
Vibrations, noise and an increase in current input occurring during unchanged
operating conditions indicate wear.
▪ Monitor the correct functioning of any auxiliary connections.
▪ Cooling system: Take the pump out of service at least once a year and thoroughly
clean the cooling system.
For this purpose dismantle the covers on the heat exchanger and clean the
cooling water lines (8 mm).
▪
Monitor the stand-by pump.
To make sure that stand-by pumps are ready for operation, start them up once a
week.
▪ Monitor the bearing temperature.
The bearing temperature must not exceed 90 °C (measured on the motor
housing).
CAUTION
Operation outside the permissible bearing temperature
Damage to the pump!
▷ The bearing temperature of the pump (set) must never exceed 90 °C (measured
on the outside of the motor housing).
