1 Introduction and Safety
e-MP Instruction manual 9

1.2.11 Unauthorized modes of operation
• Never operate the pump (set) outside the limits stated in the data sheet and in this
manual.
• The warranty relating to the operating reliability and safety of the supplied pump (set) is
only valid if the equipment is used in accordance with its intended use.
• For more information, see Intended use on page 8.
1.2.12 Explosion protection
DANGER: Always observe the information on explosion protection given in this section when
operating the product in potentially explosive atmospheres
• Only pumps/pump sets marked as explosion-proof and identified as such in the data
sheet may be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
•
Special conditions apply to the operation of explosion-proof pump sets to EU
Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX).
• For this, the sections marked with the explosion protection symbol in this operating
manual and the following sections must be observed carefully.
• The explosion-proof status of the pump set is only assured if the pump set is used in
accordance with its intended use.
• Never operate the pump set outside the limits stated in the data sheet and on the name
plate. Prevent impermissible modes of operation at all times.
1.2.12.1 Marking
The marking on the pump refers to the pump end only. For coupling and motor or further
components a separate Declaration of Conformity, as well as a corresponding marking must
be available.
Example of such marking at pump: Ex II 2 G c T...
The marking shows the theoretically applicable range of temperature classes. The different
temperatures, permitted according to pump design, result as shown in Temperature limits on
page 10. The same is valid for the drive.
For a whole unit (pump, coupling, motor) with different temperature classes the lowest class
is valid.
1.2.12.2 Temperature limits
Under normal operating conditions the highest temperatures must be expected at the
surface of the pump casing and in the area of the bearings.
The surface temperature at pump casing corresponds with the temperature of the pumped
liquid. If the pump is heated (example heating jacket), care must be taken, that the
temperature classes, prescribed for the plant are observed.
In the area of the bearing bracket free contact from surface to surrounding must be given.
During operation of the pump it must be secured that an overabundant sedimentation of dust
is avoided (regular cleaning), to prevent heating of pump surface over the permitted
temperature.
The operator of the plant must ensure that the defined operating temperature is observed.
The max. allowed temperature of the pumped liquid at suction depends on the particular
temperature class.
The following table shows the theoretical temperature limits of the pumped liquid in
consideration of the temperature classes according to EN 13463-1.
1 Introduction and Safety
10 e-MP Instruction manual

Table 1:
Temperature class to EN 13463-1 Temperature limit of pumped liquid
T5 (212°F, 100°C) 212°F (100°C) (only after consultation with the
manufacturer)
T4 (275°F, 135°C) 275°F (135°C) 275°F (135°C)
T3 (392°F, 200°C) 275°F (135°C)
T2 (572°F, 300°C) Temperature limit of the pump
T1 (842°F, 450°C) Temperature limit of the pump
The particular allowed operating temperature of the pump is shown in the data sheet and / or
the Order Acknowledgement or the name plate on the pump.
In the area of the bearings the temperature class T4 is guaranteed, provided that the
ambient temperature is 113°F (45°C) and the machine is duly operated and maintained.
1.2.12.3 Operation of the pump
Filling
During operation of the pump the system of the suction and pressure pipe and the pump
itself must permanently be filled with the pumped liquid.
All sealing chambers, auxiliary systems of the shaft seal as well as heating and cooling
systems must be filled carefully.
If the operator cannot guarantee that, appropriate monitoring measures must be provided.
Operation
NOTICE:
The pump must start up with fully opened suction side and slightly opened pressure side
valve. The start-up against closed non-return valve, however, is possible. Immediately after
the start-up the discharge side valve must be adjusted to the operating point.
Barrier, flush and cooling systems must be in operation before the start-up of the pump.
Shutdown only when the pump stopped, if this is permitted by the nature of the operation.
For more information, see Start up the pump set on page 59.
Operation with closed valve in suction and / or discharge pipe is not permitted
In Limits of operation on page 60 the minimum flow is stated. Longer operating phases with
these flows and the named liquids do not cause additional increase of surface temperature
at the pump.
Furthermore the references in Commissioning, Startup, Operation, and Shutdown on page
51 must be taken into consideration.
On pumps with mechanical seals the permitted temperature limits can be exceeded due to
dry-run.
Dry run does not only occur on insufficiently filled seal cover, but also in case of excessively
high gas fractions in the medium.
Operation of the pump out of the permitted operating range can lead to dry-run, as well.
Maintenance
For a secure and reliable operation the pump unit must be maintained by regular inspections
and kept in good technical condition.
Example: Roller bearings.
By regular control of the lubricant and the running sound, the danger of going over
temperatures by bearings running hot or defect bearing seals is avoided. For more
information, see Lubrication on page 52 and Grease lubrication on page 67.
The function of the shaft sealing must be secured by regular control.
1 Introduction and Safety
e-MP Instruction manual 11

If auxiliary systems (e.g. external flushing, cooling, heating) are installed, it must be checked,
if monitoring devices are necessary to secure the function.
1.2.12.4 Electric switches and control devices, instrumentation, and accessories
Electric switches and control devices, instrumentation and accessories like e.g. flush tanks,
a.s.o., must correspond with the valid safety requirements and regulations for explosion
protection.
1.2.12.5 Intended use
Speed, pressure, and temperature
Suitable safety measures must be taken at the plant to ensure that the speed, pressure and
temperature of the pump and the shaft sealing do not exceed the limit values given in the
data sheet or order confirmation.
Further, pressure shocks, as can occur on too fast shut down of the operation, must be kept
away from the pump (e.g. by non-return valve at pressure side, fly wheel, air tanks). Quick
temperature changes must be avoided. They can cause a temperature shock and lead to
damage or impair the function of single components.
Permitted nozzle loads and torques
Basically the suction and discharge piping must be designed in such way, that as little forces
as possible are effective to the pump. If that is not possible, the values in Permitted nozzle
loads and torques at the pump nozzles on page 38 must not be exceeded under any
circumstances. This is valid for the operation as well as for the shutdown/standstill of the
pump and therefore for all possible pressures and temperatures of the unit.
NPSH
The pumped liquid must have a minimum pressure NPSH at the impeller inlet; so that
cavitation free work is secured or a "break off" of the pump flow is prevented. This condition
is fulfilled, when NPSH-value of the system (NPSHA) lies above NPSH-value of the pump
(NPSHR) under all operating conditions.
Attention must especially be paid to the NPSH-value on pumping liquids near the vapor
pressure. If the NPSH-value of the pump remains under, this can lead from damage of the
material due to cavitation to destruction by overheating.
The NPSH-value of the pump (NPSHR) is shown in the curves of every pump type.
Back flow
In systems where pumps are operating in closed circuits under pressure (gas cushions,
steam pressure), the pressure of the gas cushion must not be reduced via the pump, since
the back flow speed may be much higher than the operating speed, which would destroy the
unit.
