Air or steam trapped in the suction
.
Check the presence of air or steam trapped. Check
suction line design.
Suction pipe inlet not sufficiently
submerged
Consult system designer
Insufficient speed
Consult
M PUMPS PROCESS
.
The motor stopped
Check the power of the motor. Check the status of the
motor.
EXCESSIVE FLOW
Causes
Remedies / actions
The head required is lower than that
provided by the pump
Reduce the speed of rotation, if possible; reduce the
impeller diameter; partially close the discharge valve.
OVERHEATING OR MOTOR STOP
Excessive pumped liquid density
Reduce the flow by closing the valve outlet partially
The pump is defused
Re-prime the pump. Refer to section 13.3 of this
manual. Check for air leaks in the suction line
Operating at very low flow
Check that flow is superior than minimum permitted.
The pump has seized or is about to seize.
Check the free rotation of the impeller. Check for
internal obstructions
.
The motor and pump are misaligned
Refer to section 14.1 of this manual
The motor bearings are damaged or
worn
.
Replace the motor bearings, investigate the causes of
breakage.
Motor under dimensioned
Mount a more powerful motor (check in advance with
your distributor
M PUMPS PROCESS
).
Motor overload threshold set incorrectly
Check
the security settings of the motor
The guard against the motor dry running
(where present) has failed or has been
set incorrectly.
Control flow decreases or fluid intake.
FUNCTIONING WITH NOISE DEFECTS AND/OR
VIBRATIONS
Causes
Remedies / actions
Insufficient inlet pressure, consequent
cavitation, insufficient lubrication of the
bearings (with mechanical damages if
the condition persists).
STOP IMMEDIATELY THE PUMP!
Refer to paragraphs 13.2 to 13.8 manual
Air or steam trapped in the suction
.
Check the presence of air or steam trapped. Check
suction line design.
Excessive Suction lift
Check that NPSHa>NPSHr, suction line losses on
strainer and fittings
