8 Troubleshooting
8.1 Operation troubleshooting
The following notes on causes of faults and how to repair them are intended as an aid to recognising the
problem. The manufacturer's Customer Service Department is available to help repair faults that the op-
erator cannot or does not want to repair. If the
operator repairs or changes the pump, the design data on the data sheet and Description of these Oper-
ating Instructions should be particularly taken into account. If necessary, the written agreement of the
manufacturer must be obtained.
Table 4: Troubleshooting procedure
Symptom
Cause
Remedy
Discharge too low
Back-pressure too high
•
Check facility for pollution, open
discharge valve
•
Reduce resistance in discharge
pipe (e.g. clean filter if necessa-
ry)
•
Use larger impeller (note availa-
ble motor power)
Speed too low
•
Increase speed (check available
motor power)
•
Compare speed of motor with
specified pump speed (rating
plate)
•
When adjusting speed (frequen-
cy transformer) check reference
value settings
Impeller diameter too small
Use larger impeller (check available
motor power)
Pump and/or pipes not completely fil-
led with liquid
•
Fill
•
Vent
Pump or suction/intake pipe blocked
Clean
Air pocket in pipeline
•
Vent
•
Improve course of pipe
Suction height too big / NPSH of sys-
tem too small
•
Increase liquid level and admis-
sion pressure
•
Reduce resistance in the intake/
suction pipe (change course and
rated width, open shut-off valves,
clean filters)
Air being sucked in
•
Increase liquid level
•
Check if suction pipe is vacuum-
tight
Air being sucked in through shaft seal-
ing
•
Clean sealing pipe
•
Increase sealing pressure
•
Replace shaft sealing
Direction of rotation is wrong
Swap over two phases of power supply
(to be done by an electrician)
Inner components suffering from wear Replace worn parts
