the responsibility of the end user.
1. General description
The Grundfos DME dosing pump is a self-priming
diaphragm pump.
The pump consists of:
• a
cabinet
incorporating the drive unit and elec-
tronics,
• a
dosing head
with back plate, diaphragm,
valves, connections and vent valve and
• a
control panel
incorporating display and but-
tons. The control panel can be fitted either to the
front or to the side of the cabinet.
Being equipped with a stepper motor, this dosing
pump is unique in its field. The stepper motor offers
the possibility of varying the capacity by changing
the duration of the dosing stroke.
Furthermore, the motor is controlled in such a way
that the dosing gets as even and constant as possi-
ble, irrespective of the capacity range in which the
pump is operating.
This is carried out as follows:
The speed of the suction stroke is kept constant and
the stroke relatively short, irrespective of the capa-
city. Contrary to conventional pumps, which generate
the dosing stroke as a short pulse, the duration of
the dosing stroke will be as long as possible. Thus,
an even dosing without peak values is ensured. As
the pump is always dosing at full stroke length, it
ensures the same high accuracy and suction capa-
bility, irrespective of the capacity, which is infinitely
variable in the ratio of 1:1000.
The pump features an LCD display and a user-
friendly control panel which gives access to the
pump functions.
1.1 Applications
The DME dosing pump is designed for handling
chemicals within the following ranges of applications,
among others:
• Drinking water treatment.
• Wastewater treatment.
• Swimming pool water treatment.
• Boiler water treatment.
• Cooling water treatment.
• Process water treatment.
• Washing systems.
WARNING!
Prior to installation, read these installation
and operating instructions. Installation and
operation must comply with local regula-
tions and accepted codes of good prac-
tice.
