Solenoid-diaphragm dosing pump
MAGDOS LA / LD
Operating instructions
13.1.3 Delivery rate varies
Possible cause
Remedy
Valve leaking or blocked
è
Clean the valve and vent the
dosing pump.
è
Tighten the screw connections.
Valve damaged (e.g. valve
balls)
è
Remove the damaged parts or
install a new valve.
Suction line is leaking
è
Seal the leak locations or replace
the parts.
Suction line is blocked (e.g.
screen in foot valve)
è
Clean the suction line.
Viscosity too high
è
Possibly reduce the concentration
of the dosing medium or increase
the temperature.
è
Install spring-loaded valves.
è
Increase the pipe diameter.
The dosing pump's electrical
data does not match that of
the mains supply
è
Check the electrical installation.
Suction side pressure too high
(pump siphoning)
è
Install a back-pressure valve in
the pressure line.
Pressure peaks due to
acceleration with long suction
lines
è
Install a suction pressure
regulator.
Imprecise dosing due to
changeable positive and
negative suction heads.
è
Install a suction pressure
regulator.
System backpressure too
high (measured at discharge
connection of dosing pump)
è
Clean blocked injection nozzle.
è
Install pulsation dampeners to
reduce pressure peaks if pipes
are too long.
è
Check function of safety valves.
Table 29: Type of fault: Delivery rate varies
13.1.4 No stroke movement observed
Possible cause
Remedy
Diaphragm return spring
broken.
è
Contact the manufacturer.
Current supply interrupted
è
Reconnect the current supply
The dosing pump's electrical
data does not match that of
the mains supply
è
Check the electrical installation.
Pressure peaks due to
acceleration with long suction
lines
è
Install a suction pressure
regulator.
Table 30: Type of fault: No stroke movement observed
Possible cause
Remedy
System backpressure too
high (measured at discharge
connection of dosing pump)
è
Clean blocked injection nozzle.
è
Install pulsation dampeners to
reduce pressure peaks if pipes
are too long.
è
Check function of safety valves.
Table 30: Type of fault: No stroke movement observed
13.1.5 Dosing pump delivery rate too high
Possible cause
Remedy
Suction side pressure too high
(pump siphoning)
è
Install a back-pressure valve in
the pressure line.
Pressure peaks due to
acceleration with long suction
lines
è
Install a suction pressure
regulator.
Table 31: Type of fault: Dosing pump delivery rate too high
13.1.6 Diaphragm is torn or tears too often
Possible cause
Remedy
Shut-off valves closed
è
Open the shut-off valves. Inspect
the dosing pump for possible
damage.
Pressure peaks due to
acceleration with long suction
lines
è
Install a suction pressure
regulator.
The materials are not suitable
for the dosing medium being
used
è
Check the resistance of the
materials.
Diaphragm not screwed up to
the end stop on the dia-
phragm rod
è
Screw a new diaphragm up to the
end stop.
System backpressure too
high (measured at discharge
connection of dosing pump)
è
Clean blocked injection nozzle.
è
Install pulsation dampeners to
reduce pressure peaks if pipes
are too long.
è
Check function of safety valves.
Media sediment in dosing
head
è
Clean the dosing head.

13.1.7 Loud noises on the dosing pump
Possible cause
Remedy
The drive magnet's stop
damper is worn-out
è
Contact the manufacturer.
