The pumps are designed for ambient temperatures
during operation between +50°F and +104°F (+10°C
and +40°C). Periodically check maximum tempera-
tures if installing the pump in a cabinet or a housing.
Make sure ventilation is adequate to maintain recom-
mended operating temperature. Install an external au-
tomatic ventilation system if necessary. If pumping hot
process gases, make sure that the maximum permitted

permitted gas inlet temperature depends on several
parameters like inlet pressure and ambient tempera-
ture (see “Technical data”, pg. 26).
