Under no circumstances must the
power cables be used for lifting or moving the motor.
2.3 Storage
Store the pump unit vertically in a dry,
well ventilated location. If it cannot be foreseen when
the unit will be installed, the following instructions
must be followed
:
2.3.1 General remarks
Submersible pump units need special
storage conditions. For functional reasons some
inner parts (eg the stator and rotor plates) cannot be
produced from corrosion-resistant materials and are
therefore sensitive to any type of air humidity.
All units may basically be stored either in a filled or
unfilled condition; however these two types of storage
require different treatment of the unit.
All units must be stored vertically,
secured appropriately in this position to prevent
tipping over.
The leads of the power cables must
be protected from moisture. Ensure that the power
cables and, if applicable, the signal cables are not
bent during storage.
2.3.2 Requirements for the storage area
The storage area must be well ventilated.
Air humidity should be in a range of 40 to 60 %.
Temperatures:

+50 to -25 °C (+122 to -13 °F) for units with
unfilled motors

+50 to 0 °C (+122 to +32 °F) for units with MX
type motors (water-filled without antifreeze)

+50 to -15 °C (+122 °F to +5 °F) for units with
motors originally filled by the manufacturer
For temperatures down to -15 °C, (+5 °F) see the
guidelines in the instructions for filling submersible
pump motors in section 0, 6.1 Antifreeze.
2.3.3 Storing for up to four weeks
No special arrangements are required.
2.3.4 Storing between one and 24 months
For storage between one and 24 months, it is
recommended that the shaft of the unit be turned at
intervals of approximately 8 weeks. For this it may be
necessary to remove a mounted pressure housing,
including the check valve. On pump units where this is
not possible, the pump and motor must be separated.
If needed, separate instructions should be requested
from the manufacturer.
2.3.5 Storing for over 24 months
If the pump unit is stored for more
than 24 months a complete visual inspection at the
Flowserve manufacturing plant is recommended. An
authorised Flowserve factory representative can also
carry out this inspection.
2.5 Recycling and end of product life
At the end of the service life of the product or its
parts, the relevant materials and parts should be
recycled or disposed of using an environmentally
acceptable method and local requirements.
If the product contains substances that are harmful to
the environment, these should be removed and
disposed of in accordance with current regulations.
This also includes the liquids and or gases that may
be used in the "seal system" or other utilities.
Make sure that hazardous substances are
disposed of safely and that the correct personal
protective equipment is used. The safety
specifications must be in accordance with the current
regulations at all times.
