Safety
DANGER!
Mortal danger in the event of non-compliance with the docu-
mentation!
–
Observe all of the documentation relating to the pump and all
system components.
–
Reading and observing the documentation is a prerequisite for
proper use of the product.
2.1 Intended use
n
Use system exclusively for pumping the agreed pumped medium (
pump
data sheet).
n
Adhere to operating limits (
pump data sheet).
n
Avoid dry running:
–
Ensure that the pump is only put into operation with pumped medium and
is not operated without pumped medium (
n
Avoid cavitation:
–
Open the inlet side valve fully during pump operation and do not use for
regulating the pump capacity.
–
Open the outlet side valve fully during pump operation.
n
Never operate the pump against a closed or partially closed valve in the
outlet line.
n
Avoid motor damage:
–
Observe permissible number of motor switch-on instances per hour (
manufacturer's instructions).
n
Only use the pump if it is in a technically optimal condition and ensure it is
operated in accordance with the regulations and in a safety and risk-aware
manner under observance of this manual.
n
Any other use must be agreed with the ITT Bornemann GmbH.
n
Observe the operational limits of the pump in relation to temperature, pres-
sure, viscosity, pump capacity and speed (
pump data sheet).
n
When pumping liquids containing solids comply with the limit values for the
proportion of solids and grain size (
pump data sheet).
n
When pumping liquids containing gas comply with the limit values for the pro-
portion of gas (
pump data sheet).
n
Incorporate suitable safety valves (pressure safety valves are not system
safety valves).
n
Do not use the pump without a pressure safety valve or similar safeguard
against exceeding the differential pressure.
n
Do not use the pressure safety valve for regulating the pump capacity or
pressure.
n
Do not operate the pump without a check valve.
n
Connect the inlet and outlet lines correctly in accordance with the direction of
flow (see connection labelling).
n
Check the installation direction of the check valve.
n
Implement and check the connection labelling for the inlet and outlet lines.
