5.2 Description of the product

The vertical, single or multi stage centrifugal pump

series are designed for pumping clean, or lightly
aggressive, watery mediums.
Suction and discharge of the pump are in-line,
making the pump easy to install.
The hydraulic assembly is driven by an electric motor.
All hydraulic parts of the pump are made of stainless
steel.

5.3 Modular selection

To suit almost every application the pump is

assembled out of modules which can be selected
depending on the required working range.
Basic modules are:

• Basic pump model, which defines the capacity,

10 pressure and basic material
• Connections, which define the suction and
discharge connection as well as the base plate.
• Sealings, which define the elastomers, the
mechanical seal and the shaft seal type.
• Electric motor, which defines all requirements
of the motor such as motor size, power, voltage,
frequency and all possible motor accessories.
5.4 Operation 5.5 Measuring, draining and
venting

The pump is provided with plugs for measuring,

draining and venting.
ID3027

Connection (E) is meant to drain the inlet part of the

pump. Or to measure the inlet / suction pressure
using a G ¼ connection.
Connection (F) is meant to drain the outlet part of the
pump. Or to measure the discharge pressure using a
G ¼ connection.
Connections (G) are meant to vent the pump system
when the pump is not in operation. Or to measure the
discharge pressure of the pump using a G 3/8
connection.

5.6 Working range

G G The working range depends on the application and a

combination of pressure and temperature. For
specific and detailed limits advice the working ranges
are described in the chapter 5.3 Modular selection.
The overall working range of the pumps can be
summarised as follows:

 If the pump is supplied without motor, it is compulsory
to also check the following additional points prior
putting the pump in operation:
• Wrong adjustment of the coupling can cause
interference of pump parts. Assembling and
adjusting of the coupling has to be performed by
a certified mechanic from the supplier of the
pump.
• Apply a motor that is ATEX certified for
equipment group IIG (non-mining and gas).
• For the ATEX specialisation of category,
temperature class and possibly explosion group
of the assembly of pump and motor the lowest
specification is applicable. The determination of
the ATEX specification of the assembly and
certification is the responsibility of the owner of
the pump/motor.
• Apply a motor that has a special bearing which is
suited to support the high axial loads of the
pump shaft. If this is not the case, a thrust
bearing housing has to be applied.
• Apply a motor with a nominal power which is
suited to drive the pump at the operating
frequency.
• Apply a motor that has the proper frame size to
connect with the motor stool.

If a pump supplied with thrust bearing housing or a

solely supplied thrust bearing housing is supplied, it is
compulsory to also check the following additional
points prior to putting the pump in operation:
• Wrong adjustment of the axial play between the
thrust bearing housing shaft and the motor shaft
could cause too high impacts between these
shafts. Assembling of the electric motor with the
thrust bearing housing has to be done by a
certified mechanic from the supplier of the pump.
• When the thrust bearing housing has a grease
nipple, the thrust bearing can be lubricated.
Proper lubrication is important to prevent high
temperatures in the bearing. If the thrust bearing
housing has a grease nipple it is obligatory to
supply on a yearly basis some grease through
this nipple to the bearing.
• Do not install the pump upside-down.

1. Transport the pump in the position as indicated

on the pallet or packaging.
2. Make sure the pump is stable.
3. If present, observe the instructions on the
packaging.

WARNING
Lift the pump, if necessary using a hoist
and suitable slings. Attach the slings to
the transport lugs on the packaging,
where present.

WARNING ID3081 ID3082

The pump must be lifted according to

the current hoist guidelines. Only
qualified personnel is allowed to lift the

 8 Operation

8.1 Operation

The pump is controlled externally and therefore does

not need any operation guidance.

9 Maintenance

9.1 Introduction

WARNING
Observe the general safety precautions
for installation, maintenance and repair.

Regular maintenance is necessary for the correct

operation of a pump. For maintenance of the pump,
please contact your supplier.

9.2 Lubrication

Standard motors, with a maximum power of 7.5 kW,

are provided with maintenance free sealed bearings.

Motors with lubricating nipples must be lubricated

after 2000 hours. If the pump works under extreme
conditions, such as vibrations and high temperatures,
the motors must be lubricated more often.

Use a lithium based -30 °C / 160 °C bearing lubricant

(about 15 grams).

When the pump is delivered without a motor and fitted

with an other brand or the standard motor is replaced
by an other brand than DP-Pumps, please consult the
maintenance instructions of the motor supplier.

ATTENTION
Also follow the instructions in § 7.2
Mounting a motor on the pump.

9.3 Maintaining the pump for an

extended period of non-
operation

Turn the shaft every three months. This protects the

seals from seizure.
21
Protect the pump against if there is a risk of frost.
Proceed as follows:

1. Close all pump valves.

2. Drain each pump and/or the system.
3. Remove all plugs from the pump.
4. Open the shut-off and fill/air vent plug, if present.
