4.6.5 Bypass-piping considerations
When to use a bypass line
Provide a bypass line for systems that require operation at reduced flows for prolonged periods. Con-
nect a bypass line from the discharge side (before any valves) to the source of suction.
When to install a minimum-flow orifice
You can size and install a minimum-flow orifice in a bypass line in order to prevent bypassing exces-
sive flows. Consult your ITT representative for assistance in sizing a minimum-flow orifice.
When a minimum-flow orifice is unavailable
Consider an automatic recirculation control valve or solenoid-operated valve if a constant bypass
(minimum-flow orifice) is not possible.
4.6.6 Auxiliary-piping checklist
Precautions
CAUTION:
•
Risk of heat generation, seal failure, and possible physical injury. Sealing systems
that are not self-purging or self-venting, such as plan 23, require manual venting prior
to operation.
•
Running a mechanical seal dry, even for a few seconds, can cause seal failure and
physical injury. Never operate the pump without liquid supplied to the mechanical
seal.
