2.10.3 Monitoring equipment
The pump (set) must only be operated within the limits specified in the data sheet and on the
name plate.
If the system operator cannot warrant compliance with these operating limits, appropriate
monitoring devices must be used.
Check whether monitoring equipment is required to ensure that the pump set functions
properly.
Contact PUMPIRAN for further information on monitoring equipment.
2.10.4 Operating limits
The minimum flows indicated in (
Section 6.2.3 Page 38) refer to water and water- like fluids.
Longer operating periods with these fluids and at the flow rates indicated will not cause an
additional increase in the temperatures at the pump surface. However, if the physical properties
of the fluids handled are different from water, it is essential to check whether an additional heat
build-up may occur and if the minimum flow rate must therefore be increased. The calculation
formula in (
Section 6.2.3 Page 38) can be used to check whether an additional heat build-up
may lead to a hazardous temperature increase at the pump surface.
