6.2 Operating limits
DANGER
Non-compliance with operating limits for pressure, temperature, fluid handled and
speed
Explosion hazard!
Hot or toxic fluid could escape!
▷
Comply with the operating data indicated in the data sheet.
▷
Never use the pump for handling fluids it is not designed for.
▷
Avoid prolonged operation against a closed shut-off element.
▷
Never operate the pump at temperatures, pressures or rotational speeds
exceeding those specified in the data sheet or on the name plate unless the
written consent of the manufacturer has been obtained.
DANGER
Formation of a potentially explosive atmosphere inside the pump
Explosion hazard!
▷
When draining tanks take suitable measures to prevent dry running of the
pump (e.g. fill level monitoring).
6.2.1 Ambient temperature
CAUTION
Operation outside the permissible ambient temperature
Damage to the pump (set)!
▷
Observe the specified limits for permissible ambient temperatures.
Observe the following parameters and values during operation:

See data sheet.
6.2.2 Frequency of starts
DANGER
Excessive surface temperature of the motor
Explosion hazard!
Damage to the motor!
▷
In case of explosion-proof motors, observe the frequency of starts specified in
the manufacturer's product literature.
The frequency of starts is usually determined by the maximum temperature increase
of the motor. This largely depends on the power reserves of the motor in steady-
state operation and on the starting conditions (DOL, star-delta, moments of inertia,
etc). If the starts are evenly spaced over the period indicated, the pump set can be
started up six times per hour (h) with the discharge-side gate valve slightly open.
