2 Safety

10 of 64 Etaprime L

Only pumps/pump sets marked as explosion-proof and identified as such in the datasheet may be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Special conditions apply to the operation of explosion-proof pump sets to ECDirective 94/9/EC (ATEX). Especially adhere to the sections in this manual marked with the Ex symbol and thefollowing sections (⇨ Section 2.10.1 Page 11) to (⇨ Section 2.10.4 Page 12). The explosion-proof status of the pump set is only assured if the pump set is used inaccordance with its intended use. Never operate the pump (set) outside the limits stated in the data sheet and on thename plate.Prevent impermissible modes of operation at all times.

2.10.1 Marking

The marking on the pump refers to the pump only. Example of such marking: II 2 G c TX Refer to the Temperature limits table for the temperatures permitted for theindividual pump variants.

An EC manufacturer's declaration is required for the shaft coupling; the shaftcoupling must be marked accordingly.

The motor must be considered separately.

2.10.2 Temperature limits

In normal pump operation, the highest temperatures are to be expected on thesurface of the pump casing and at the shaft seal. The surface temperature at the pump casing corresponds to the temperature of thefluid handled. If the pump is heated, the operator of the system is responsible forobserving the specified temperature classes and fluid temperature (operatingtemperature). The table below lists the temperature classes and the resulting theoreticaltemperature limits of the fluid handled. (A possible temperature rise in the shaft sealarea has already been taken into account).

The temperature class specifies the maximum permissible temperature at the surfaceof the pump set during operation. For the permissible operating temperature of thepump in question refer to the data sheet.

Table 4: Temperature limits

Temperature class as per EN 13463-1 Maximum permissible fluidtemperature

In the following cases, and if ambient temperatures are higher, contact themanufacturer.

Compliance with temperature class T5 is warranted for the area of the rollingelement bearings based on an ambient temperature of 40°C, assuming that thepump set is properly serviced and operated and that the surfaces in the bearing areaare freely exposed to the atmosphere.

If temperature class T6 has to be complied with, special measures may have to betaken with regard to the bearing temperatures.

Misuse, malfunctions or non-compliance with the instructions may result insubstantially higher temperatures.

Etaprime L 11 of 64

If the pump is to be operated at a higher temperature, the data sheet is missing or ifthe pump is part of a pool of pumps, contact KSB for the maximum permissibleoperating temperature.

If a pump is supplied without motor (as part of a pool of pumps), the motor specifiedin the pump data sheet must meet the following conditions:

▪ The permissible temperature limits on the motor flange and motor shaft must behigher than the temperatures generated by the pump.

▪ Contact the manufacturer for the actual pump temperatures.

2.10.3 Monitoring equipment

The pump (set) must only be operated within the limits specified in the data sheetand 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 setfunctions properly.

Contact KSB for further information on monitoring equipment.

2.10.4 Operating limits

The minimum flows indicated in (⇨ Section 6.2.3 Page 35) refer to water and water-like fluids. Longer operating periods with these fluids and at the flow rates indicatedwill not cause an additional increase in the temperatures on the pump surface.However, if the physical properties of the fluids handled are different from water, itis essential to check whether an additional heat build-up may occur and if theminimum flow rate must therefore be increased. The calculation formula in (⇨Section 6.2.3 Page 35) can be used to check whether an additional heat build-upmay lead to a hazardous temperature increase at the pump surface.

end

The pump is designed with an axial fluid inlet and a radial outlet. The pump sectionruns in its own bearings and is connected to the motor by a shaft coupling.

The fluid enters the pump axially via a suction nozzle (6) and is accelerated by therotating impeller (7), which causes a cylindrical flow towards the outside of thepump. The flow profile of the pump casing converts the kinetic energy of the fluidinto pressure energy. The fluid is pumped to the discharge nozzle (2), where it leavesthe pump. The clearance gap (1) prevents any fluid from flowing back from thecasing into the inlet. The hydraulic system is closed with a casing cover (3) at the rear

Table 24: Trouble-shooting

A B C D E F G H Possible cause Remedy16)

X Pump delivers against an excessivelyhigh discharge pressure.

Re-adjust to duty point.Check system for impurities.Fit a larger impeller.17)

Increase the speed (turbine, I.C. engine).X X X Pump or piping are not completely

vented or primed.Vent and/or prime.

X Supply line or impeller clogged. Remove deposits in the pump and/or piping.X Formation of air pockets in the piping. Alter piping layout.

Fit a vent valve.X X X Suction head is too high/NPSHavailable

(positive suction head) is too low.Check/alter liquid level.Install pump at a lower level.Fully open shut-off valve in the suction line.Change suction line if the friction losses in thesuction line are too high.Check any strainers installed/suction opening.Observe permissible speed of pressure fall.

X Air intake at the shaft seal. Clean barrier fluid duct, supply externalbarrier fluid, if necessary, or increase itspressure.Replace the shaft seal.

X Wrong direction of rotation Interchange two of the phases of the powercable.

X Speed is too low.17)

- Operation with frequency inverter

- Operation without frequency inverter

- Increase voltage/frequency at the FI in thepermissible range.- Check the voltage.

X X Wear of internal pump parts Replace worn parts by new ones. X X Pump back pressure is lower than

specified in the purchase order.Re-adjust to duty point.In the case of persistent overloading, turndown impeller.17)

X Density or viscosity of the fluid pumpedis higher than stated in the purchaseorder.

Contact KSB.

X Wrong shaft seal materials Change the material combination.17)

X X Speed is too high. Reduce speed.17)

X Tie bolts/sealing element defective. Fit new seal between pump casing and casingcover/discharge cover.Re-tighten the tie bolts.

X Worn shaft seal. Replace the shaft seal.Check flushing liquid / barrier fluid.
