5 Pump Installation
5.1
Prerequisites
Prior to the installation of the pump, the storage and
handling instructions in Section 4 must have been
complied with.
5.2 Safety measures
• The pipework must be properly installed. Fluid
leakage during operation may cause health hazards or
environmental damage.
• The shut-off valves in the suction or feed line and in
the discharge line must be closed.
• All internal rules and guidelines must be complied
with.
• Hot components must have contact guards.
• Disconnect power to the equipment so as to eliminate
electrical shock hazards!
5.3 General
5.3.1 Fitting tools
Standard tools and lifting equipment are used. These
should be available at the customer's end.
5.3.2 Permissible environment
The ambient temperature range should be from
- 20 °C to + 60 °C.
The atmospheric humidity should be low in order to avoid
corrosion.
5.3.3 Space utilization
The space required by the pump or the pump set can be
seen from the table of dimensions and the arrangement
drawing.
Clear and easy access to the shut-off and regulating
valves and the measuring instruments must be ensured.
5.3.4 Installation position
3311 pumps are installed in horizontal position.
5.3.5 Preparatory checks
The foundation of the pump must be level and have a
minimum of vibration. The consistency of the concrete
should at least correspond to BN15, DIN 1045.
We recommend using a baseplate.
Prior to installation checks should be made with regard to:
- possible damage to the pump or the pump set that may
have occurred in transit
- ease of running (check that the shaft is free to rotate by
hand)
- the foundation dimensions.
5.3.6 Foundation
Prior to placing the pump set on the foundation which
should be well set, the following preparatory work must
be carried out:
- roughen and clean foundation surface
- remove shuttering/cores from the anchor holes
- clean and blow out the anchor holes
- check the positions and dimensions of the anchor holes
against the arrangement drawing.
Alternatively:
If the baseplate is fastened by means of heavy load plugs:
- Scribe and drill plug holes
- Clean plug holes and blow them out
- Insert heavy load plugs
