APPLICATION AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Application assistance and technical
information can be obtained by calling
MP PUMPS at 586-293-8240.
The HTO Pump is designed for pumping high
temperature fluids that are non-corrosive,
non-volatile and have good lubricating qualities.
The primary application for use is with heat
transfer oils.
It is the users' responsibility to determine the
pump and product compatibility with the
materials of construction.
INSTALLATION AND START-UP
INSTALLATION
1. The pump must be installed in a horizontal
shaft position.
2. The housing may be rotated to a horizontal or
vertical discharge to fit the particular piping
installation.
3. Rigid and supported piping must be used
that will not strain the pump housing when
temperature changes are made during the
use of the pump.
4. The piping system must be free of foreign
material and moisture before start-up.
5. Pipe thread sealing compound must be used
on the NPT flanges that is compatible with
the fluid being pumped and is rated for the
temperature requirements.
6. The installation should permit adequate
circulation of air to provide proper cooling
of the motor and pump seal housing.
7. Do not install in a sealed enclosure or insulate
the pump adapter and motor. The motor
and/or pump seal may fail from excessive
heat.
8. A good installation will have an enclosure that
provides adequate air flow of ambient air to
the motor of the pump.
START-UP
1. Follow all requirements and recommendations
from the heat transfer fluid manufacturer for
fill, start-up and use.
2. Check for leaks before insulating the piping
system.
3. Check for proper shaft rotation by jogging the
power and observing the fan clamp. Rotation
arrows are provided on pump housing.
4. The seal cavity inside the pump will internally
vent during fill and start-up.
5. A small amount of oil may leak from the seal
cavity at the shaft; this is normal for a new
installation and will stop after approximately
one hour.
6. Do not allow the pump to run dry, or continue
to operate the pump when it is noisy, vibrating,
or leaks are observed. These noticeable signs
give a warning that something is wrong with
the equipment and must be investigated to
avoid possible damage or injury from burns
caused by hot oil.
