Pump Cooling & Cooling / Seal Flushing
Pump cooling and cooling/seal flushing using an external source.
ITT Flygt C-Pumps, with a cooling jacket, provide heat
dissipation from the motor by means of flow through
internal passages. (See next page for Models with cooling
jackets). These passages allow the pumped media, after
filtering out the large particles, to flow around the stator
housing.
In the event the pumped media is unsuitable for motor
cooling (high in temperature, in abrasives, or in fibre
content), the internal inlet to the cooling jacket must be
blocked to prevent the pumped media from entering the
cooling jacket. Cooling water must then be supplied to the
pump internal passages from an external source.
There are two types of systems; pump cooling, and pump
cooling/seal flushing. Pump cooling is usually employed
in applications where it is not feasible to mix the cooling
water with the pumped media. Pump cooling/seal flushing
is used when the pumped media is abrasive, to flush the
seals continuously with clear water, preventing the en-
trance of abrasive material to the seal faces. It is of
paramount importance that the type of system desired be
specified so that the correct internal modifications to the
pump can be made at the factory. They are as follows:
COOLING
The cooling water enters the motor cooling jacket through
a threaded connection, circulates through the motor cool-
ing jacket, and exits at another threaded connection to
which the return hose is attached.

COOLING/SEAL FLUSHING
Only one hose is required for this system. The flushing
water enters a threaded connection, circulates around the
motor and exits through the liquid end, it passes across the
seal housing, thus keeping it clear of any abrasive mate-
rial.
When cooling, or Cooling/Seal Flushing is set up in the
pump, it is extremely important that the cooling water is
maintained at the desired minimum rate while the pump is
running. To protect the pump from damage, ITT Flygt has
a system which insures that the pump and the water source
are operating simultaneously. This system consists of a
paddle wheel flow switch. By connecting the flow switch
to the pump electrical control panel, the flow switch will
monitor the coolant flow and will shut down the pump if
that flow is insufficient.
NOTE:
When the pump is modified for Cooling, or Cooling/Seal
Flushing from an External Source, the pump must be
supplied with water from that source at all times, even if
the pumped media becomes acceptable to cool the motor.
The external source can only be removed of the pump is
converted back to its original arrangement at the factory.

However, a minimum of 5 GPM is necessary to activate the monitoring system. Also, with these
