18.1 KFR Pump
18.1 KFR Pump
18.1.1 Operating Instructions
The KFR series pump has been designed to operate in environments with atmospheres that are not potentially
explosive and for using water rich in particulate, therefore it is considered ideal for system with fluid recirculation.
The durability of the piston seal is directly in relation to the percentage of the presence of solids in the fluid as
regards both their size and their density.
For a long seal life we recommend a particulate grain size of no more than 200 micron and 20% max. in volume.
For more information and general system layout see par. 9.7.
18.1.2 Water Temperature
The maximum water temperature is 104° F (40° C). However, the pump can be used with water temperatures
up to 140° F (60° C), but only for short periods. In this case it is best to contact our
Technical or Customer
Service Department.
18.1.3 Maximum Pressure and Flow Rate
The rated specifications stated in our catalog are the maximum that can be obtained by the pump. Independently
of the power used, the maximum pressure and RPM indicated on the specification label can never be exceeded
unless prior authorization given by our
Technical or Customer Service Department.
18.1.4 Minimum Operating Speed
The minimum permissible speed of the crankshaft for these types of pumps is 100 RPM; any RPM other than as
shown in the performance table (see par. 18.1.5) must be authorized by our
Technical or Customer Service
Department.
