1. Specifications & Construction
Working Description
The Sondex Freshwater Distiller utilizes the heat from diesel engine jacket cooling water
to produce pure drinkable water by evaporating seawater under high vacuum enabling the
feed water to evaporate at temperatures below 48°C. Steam can also be used as heat
source instead of hot jacket water.
The Sondex Fresh water Distiller is based on 2 sets of Sondex titanium plate heat
exchangers, acting as an evaporator and a condenser respectively.
The evaporation chamber is kept under vacuum by a water ejector driven by the seawater
outlet from the evaporator. The feed water evaporates when entering the evaporating
chamber due to the vacuum condition. Water spray and droplets are partly removed from
the vapour by the deflector mounted on top of the evaporator and partly by a build-in
demister. The separated water droplets fall back into the brine, which is extracted from
the shell by means of the ejector.
The desalted vapour passing through the demister will be sucked into the plate condenser
where it will be condensed by means of cold incoming salt water.
The pure distilled water will be taken out by means of an integral freshwater pump. The
pure water taken out from the condenser will be controlled by a Salinometer to supervise
that the preset salinity will be reached. If the salinity exceeds the specified level, the
solenoid valve in the discharge line of the distiller pump is automatically activated and
faulty distillate is returned to the feed line or dumped into the drain.
The Salinometer can be connected to remote alarm so that a too high salinity is registered
immediately at the bridge of the ship or in the control room.
Important notes!
The plant is constructed for a pressure of 3-3,5 bar before the ejector.
The pressure after the ejector should be max. 0,6 bar.
Installation Description
Place the freshwater distiller so that it will be possible to open it for inspection and
cleaning, and install it with a simple pipe layout - and as close to the distiller as possible
at a place with a minimum of merging pipes. Be aware that pipe dimensions are not too
small and that the number of bends and valves are kept at a minimum to avoid
unnecessary pressure drop which could effect the specified pump efficiency and the
produced freshwater capacity.
Please check the installation drawing and technical specifications.
Be aware that it must be possible to read thermometers and manometers.
The support of the pipes must not be too far from the distiller, and should be installed in
such a way that they do not load sockets on the Freshwater Distiller.
Connect the evaporator to the jacket water system from the engine or any other heating
source. This can be done either in series with a bypass valve or in parallel with the
cooler of the engine.
Connect the combined ejector/seawater pump with its suction socket to the seawater
inlet at a place where the inlet pressure always is positive.
Connect the ejector pump at the inlet flange on the condenser.
The outlet of sea water is directly overboard with its own overboard valve and above
water line at deepest draft.
Check the specified quantity of jacket water or steam flow through the evaporator.
Check the specified quantity of seawater flows through the condenser.
The freshwater pipe should be connected to the freshwater tank of the ship. The counter
pressure in the freshwater pipe should not exceed 1,2 – 1,6 bar according to
specification.
Note:
The combined ejector/seawater pump is designed to stand on a level with and in close
vicinity to the Freshwater Distiller, and for a maximum counter-pressure in the
overboard piping of max. 0,6 bar.

2. Start-up & Operation
Initial start-up of plant
Please follow the instruction point by point as pumps never may run without water!!
1. Open valves on suction and discharge side of the ejector pump
2. Open overboard valve for combined brine/air ejector
3. Switch on the main switch on the electrical box
4. Start ejector pump to produce a vacuum of min. 90% vacuum

The pressure before the brine/air ejector inlet should be 3-3,5 bar
Back pressure at combined brine/air ejector outlet should be max. 0,6 bar
Evaporation
5. When min. 90% vacuum (after max. 10 minutes) has been obtained, open the ball
valve for feed water
6. Open hot jacket water/steam inlet and outlet valves
7. Start jacket water/steam supply to distiller adjusting by-pass valve step-wise

10°C, until the desired jacket water temperature is reached.
The boiling temperature now rises, while the obtained vacuum drops to 60-70%
within 10-60 sec.. This indicates that evaporation has started.
Condensing
8. Open valve to freshwater tank.
9. Start the freshwater pump, when water can be seen in the small inspection glass,
which is located on the side of the air separator. The pressure must be between 1,2
bar to 1,6 bar. In specific cases up to 2,4 bar.
Operation of plant
Under normal conditions, there is no need for supervision.
If the salinity is too high, the Salinometer will give an alarm and dump the fresh water or
the solenoid valve will open and it will be re-circulated back to feed water intake
depending on the system used.
In order to check that the Freshwater Distiller is working normally and that no fouling is
occurring, the temperature, pressure, and production should be compared with the data
from the specification and adjustment of sea water and jacket water should be made as
described in above points.
Precautions
Always be careful about the sea water quality. Producing fresh water in a polluted sea or
river may result in water, which is unsuitable for human consumption.
Be aware of chemical dosing rate in feed water is not exceeding the specified rate given
by chemical supplier.

3. Trouble shooting
Trouble-shooting
If production of fresh water drops, check pressure and temperatures according to the
technical specifications
Insufficient Vacuum
The following may have changed:
* The ejector inlet and outlet pressure (Look under start-up & operation).
* The filter on the suction side of the ejector pump is clogged up.
* The stuffing box of the ejector/seawater pump leaks so that air is drawn in.
* Overboard valve or nonreturn valve, if any, in the overboard piping are defective.
* The nozzles in the ejector may be worn.
* A leak may have been generated at the gasket for the cover.
This can be found by watching the vacuum meter by stopping of plant. If necessary with
the following valve closed (If the non-return valves are leaking) .
* The feed valve.
* The overboard valve
* The ejector pump valve.
* The valve in the ejector air pipe.
* The valve in the freshwater pipe.
The valve for chemical dosing.
Check the stuffing box on the freshwater pump for leakage, by stopped plant.
Overcooling of Engine Cooling Water to Evaporator
Overcooling of engine cooling water to the evaporator indicates insufficient flow. The
reason for this must be found outside the freshwater distiller, in the cooling system of the
ship.
Seawater Flow to Condenser
Overheating of seawater indicates insufficient flow (see technical specification), or the

condenser plates may be scaled and need cleaning.
The flow can be determined by comparing the ejector pump pressure with the pump
curve.
The max. temperature for sea water from the condenser is 38°C.
Too High Salinity
Separate and clean the sensor of the salinometer so that it is not short-circuited by
coatings between the electrodes.
Check that the solenoid valve for freshwater back to the evaporator is closed at normal
salinity, so that the produced freshwater does not run back the evaporator.
Leakage in the condenser can be found by opening vessel, closing feed valve, overboard
valve, and starting up the ejector pump.
Check that the steam-turning plate above the evaporator and the demister is correctly
placed and that the gasket sealing to main frame is not “cut” or has a leakage, so that no
saltwater drops pass with the steam through to the condenser.
4. Service & Maintenance
Cleaning of the Plant
Although the working temperature of the Freshwater Distiller is kept at 40-48 oC,
scalings on the plates of the evaporator will gradually occur, causing a reduction of the
capacity of the Freshwater Distiller and cleaning of the plates will be necessary.
The frequency of the cleaning depends very much on the working conditions, but
normally a chemical cleaning 2-3 times a year as well as an opening of the plate pack
once a year or every second year for total cleaning/inspection will be sufficient.
Cleaning by opening of Freshwater Distiller
When the plant has been stopped as described under “Stopping the Plant” open the
Freshwater Distiller and inspect condenser, evaporator, demister and the interior of the
Freshwater Distiller and carry out the required cleaning.
Normally it is necessary only to separate the evaporator and clean the plates by means of
the chemicals described under “Chemical cleaning”. The interior of the Freshwater
Distiller should be cleaned at the same time us ing the same chemicals.
Clean the evaporator as follows:
1. Remove bolts on front cover and open.
2. Loosen the nuts on the tie bars gradually so that no nut is carrying the entire load
alone.
3. Remove the follower and take out the plates one by one and note their position in
order not to get a “disorganized” plate pack when you have to assemble again.
4. Submerge plates completely in a hot, inhibited acid bath at maximum 50 o C. For fur-
ther information about chemical please see “Chemical cleaning”.
Warning:
* Always follow carefully the supplier instructions when using inhibited acids.
* Remember to neutralize according to supplier instructions.
5. Examine plates and gaskets for possible damage and remove damaged plates and – or
replace damaged gaskets.
6. If a defective plate is found, remove the plate together with the other plates in this
group. The start plate and the end plate in the plate pack cannot be removed without
being replaced by a new plate.
7. When assembling a separated evaporator, it should be checked that the gaskets have
not been damaged – change defective gaskets, if any. Cut gaskets as shown on the
plate diagram. Assemble the plates in due succession according to plate arrangement
drawing and be aware that they are positioned correctly. Clamp the plate pack to the
correct dimension according to the number of plates.
Each plate have a compression dimension of:
SFD Type 3,5 Dimension 2,9 mm

SFD Type 7 Dimension 3,1 mm
8. Pressure test evaporator plates before closing front cover. This is done by slowly
opening the by-pass valve for hot water into normal position and let the water flow
through.
9. The condenser plates are pressure tested by letting sea water from the combined
cooling water/ejector pump circulate through the section.
10. When the evaporator/condenser plates are found to be tight, close front cover and
tighten the bolts.
11. Re-tighten, when vacuum has been reestablished.
Renewal of heat exchanger gasket
New gasket
The gaskets for every second plate are cut out of an ordinary gasket. Therefore please
note the cutting out of the old gaskets before removing them.
Glue Type
Pliobond 25/Scotchgrip 847 are nitrile rubber glues on soluble basis (25% solid
materials). The glues are partly thermoplastic so that old gaskets can be unsticked by
boiling-water heating.
Detergent
For cleaning and degreasing new gaskets and gasket grooves use “Acetone”. Charred or
loose glue and rubber remains must be removed, e.g. by using a rotation stainless steel
brush. It is very important tha t every detergent is evaporated before putting glue on.
Warning
Solvents are dangerous to inhale.
Gluing
After wiping gaskets and gasket grooves with a cloth moistened with degreasing
substance the gluing itself can begin. The gluing areas must be quite clean – free from
fingerprints etc. The gaskets are covered by a brush with a thin coat of glue on the gluing
area and placed on a clean and dry place in order to dry.
The gluing process is done easiest on a solid table. After the gaskets have been put into
the plate gasket grooves, the plates are stacked.
When the gluing is finished the plates are hung into the unit again and heat exchanger is
clamped together. The heat exchanger can be warmed up by hot water if the glue is to dry
quickly – but without pressure on the water!
Drying time:
Approx 2 hours at 80 - 100 oC

Approx 24 hours at 40 - 50 oC
Approx 48 hours at Room temperature
If it is not possible to heat the plate heat exchanger, plates must be placed as warm as
possible.
Zinc anode
Always check the condition of the zinc anode when the front cover is off, and be sure to
shange it if it´s worn. Sondex recommend change of zinc anode approx. two times a year.
5. Chemical cleaning
Chemical dosing of scale control chemicals
Prevention of scaling
During the seawater evaporation there is always a risk of scaling on the heating
surfaces. This results in reduced K-values of the heating surface and decreased
freshwater production as well an overall reduction of the plant efficiency.
In order to prevent scaling the operators must be aware of the factors influencing the
scale formation.
Feed water ratio
The feed water ratio is an extremely important factor. It is defined by the relationship
between the feed water amount fed into the plant and the produced freshwater amount.
If the feed water ratio is reduced, the concentration will rise in the plant subsequently,
resulting in scale formations.
Two things may shift the feed water ratio:
* All direct adjustment of the feed water system.

* Exceeding the max. freshwater production laid out for the plant.
The operators must observe the following rules at all times:
Do not adjust feed water system.
Chemical dosage
In order to control scale formation on the heating surfaces and continuously ensure long
operation periods without acid cleaning the plant, it is absolutely necessary to dose scale
control additives to the feed water. The operators must follow the instructions for
chemical dosing given by the chemical supplier carefully.
If the distiller operated at boiling temperatures above 45o C without chemicals, frequent
cleaning of the evaporator is necessary.
Warning
If the distiller is operated at boiling temperatures above 45o C without chemicals,

frequent cleaning of the evaporater is necessary.
We recommend that you do not operate the Freshwater Distiller without recommended
chemical dosage at boiling temperatures above 45o C.
Scale inhibitor dosage equipment for feed water
When adding chemicals mix throughly to ensure a homogenous blend of chemicals and
water.
Use a fully soluble scale inhibitor, e.g. on polymer basis. The following product can be
recommended:
* Nalfleet Evaporator treatment 9-913

* Ameroyal Evaporator treatment
* Hexamethaphosphate
1. Mix the required quantity for 24 hours operation in the tank according to the
suppliers instructions.
2. Adjust flowmeter to cover the maximum fresh water output from the distiller.
3. Flush the dosage system regulary.
Safety precautions with the use of chemicals
1. Use eye protection and gloves. Avoid direct skin contact, eye contact and contact
with clothes.
2. Clean empty containers before disposal.
3. If chemicals are spilled on clothes, rinse with water and dispose off clothes.
4. If chemicals are spilled on the floor, rinse with water and suck remaining chemicals
off with sand. Clean spot immediately afterwards.
5. Scale inhibitor is hazardous, if consumed in a concentrated solution. If consumed by
mistake.
Immediately seek medical attention.
6. If eyes get in contact with the chemicals, rinse for at least 20 minutes with water.
Immediately seek medical attention.

If it is necessary to dismantle the pump, either because it is choked or damaged, please

follow the instructions below.
Before dismantling the pump, disconnect the electricity supply to the motor. Then
remove the suction and discharge pipes.
The dismantling and assembly of electric parts should be carried out in accordance with
local regulations.
Position numbers, see ”Drawing for dismantling and assembly” and ”Service tools”.
References in ” ”, see table of contents.
Dismantling of pump
Remove the staybolts (hexagon socket head screws), pos. 26, and the suction chamber,
pos. 6. If the suction chamber sticks, loosen it with a light blow on the edge. Remove
the fan (see ”Dismantling of stator with housing”) and hold the shaft when the nut, pos.
67, is slackened (left-hand thread). Remove the nut, the clamp (washer), pos. 66, the
impeller, pos. 49, the chamber, pos. 4, and the spacing pipe, pos. 64.
In the case of CH 4-60, continue the dismantling in the following order: Nut, pos. 67,
clamp, pos. 66, impeller, pos. 49, chamber with bearing, pos. 4a, bearing ring, pos. 47a,
and spacer, pos. 64a.
If the chamber sticks, loosen it by inserting a screwdriver between the chambers and
turning it. Take care not to deform the chamber.
Then remove the parts in the following order up to the shaft seal, pos. 105: Impeller,
chamber and spacing pipe.
Do not expose the shaft seal rings to blows or knocks.
Pull the rotating shaft seal part off the shaft.
The stationary shaft seal part should only be removed if the shaft seal leaks.
If the shaft seal leaks, push the stop ring, pos. 62, free of the recess and pull it off the
shaft. The stop ring cannot be reused.
Slacken and remove the screws, pos. 28. Take care not to remove the shaft with rotor
together with the pump head when this is removed from the motor.
Note: The bearing cover plate, pos. 155, and the diverting disc, pos. 79, may stick to the
pump head. If this is the case, remove the stationary shaft seal part from the motor side.
The pump is now dismantled.
Neck ring, pos. 45
If the neck rings are worn, they must be replaced. Push the retainer, pos. 65, free of the
chamber/suction chamber by means of a special puller, see ”Service tools”. Remove the
neck ring.
Dismantling of stator with housing
Remove the electric cable from the terminal box.
Slacken and remove the screws, pos. 152, together with the fan cover, pos. 151.
Remove the fan, pos. 156, from the shaft by means of two screwdrivers.
Sclacken and remove the screws, pos. 28.
Loosen the stator with housing with a light blow of a rubber mallet and pull it off the
pump.
If the ball bearings or the shaft with rotor is defective, the pump must be dismantled.
Assembly
Before assembly, clean and check all parts and replace possible defective parts. The
following parts should always be replaced when the pump is overhauled: Nut for shaft,
gaskets and all O-rings.
Neck ring, pos. 45
Position the neck ring on the retainer in the chamber/suction chamber. Then press the
retainer, pos. 65, over the neck ring so that it engages with the chamber/suction
chamber.
It must be possible to move the neck ring freely (sideways) between the retainer and the
chamber/suction chamber.
Shaft seal, pos. 105
The seal rings must be intact, and the seal faces must be smooth and clean. Do not
expose the seal rings to blows or knocks.
Moisten the recess of the pump head and the O-ring for the stationary shaft seal part
with water. Press the stationary seal ring with O-ring home in the recess of the pump
head. The O-ring must point towards the pump head.
Fit the ball bearings, pos. 153 and 154, to the shaft. For type and position, see ”Parts
list” and ”Sectional drawing”.
Assembly of pump
Fit the bearing cover plate, pos. 155, to the shaft so that it touches the outer ring of the
ball bearing. The curved side of the bearing cover plate must point away from the ball
bearing, see ”Drawing for dismantling and assembly”. Fit the diverting disc, pos. 79, to
the pump shaft and push it until it touches the motor shaft.
Fit the pump head, pos. 2, with the stationary shaft seal part and press it home on the
recess of the stator housing. It is not possible to press home the pump head, check
whether the corrugated spring, pos. 158, is positioned correctly, see fig. 1.
Make sure that the discharge port of the pump head and the terminal box on the motor
point in the same direction as before dismantiling.
Lubricate the screws, pos. 28, with thread paste THREAD-EZE (part number, see
”Torques”). Fit the screws and tighten diagonally.
Fit a new stop ring, pos. 62, to the shaft so that it engages with the recess of the shaft.
Fit the rotation shaft seal part. Do not expose the seal rings, pos. 105, to blows or
knocks. Moisten the rubber parts with water.
Check that the ends of the spring engage with the ground groove in the seal ring and the
driving dog of the spacer.
Continue the assembly in the order mentioned until the last impeller has been fitted:
Gasket, pos. 37, impeller, pos. 49, chamber, pos. 4, and spacing pipe, pos. 64.
In the case of CH 4-60, continue the assembly up to the last impeller but one.
Then fit the spacer, pos. 64a, the chamber with bearing, pos. 4a, the bearing ring, pos.
47 a, and the impeller, pos. 49.
Make sure that the last impeller engages with the spline shaft.
Lubricate the threaded shaft end before the clamp (washer), pos. 66, and the nut, pos.
67, are fitted.
Hold the rotor shaft and tighten the nut.
Do not forget the gasket, pos. 37, between the suction chamber and the chamber. Fit the
suction chamber, pos 6, with the priming plug, pos. 21, in the same direction as the
discharge port of the pump head.
Lubricate the staybolts (hexagon socket head screws), pos. 26, with thread paste
THREAD-EZE before they are fitted and tightened diagonally.
In order not to damage the ball bearings, the pump shaft should be supported through
the port of the suction chamber when the fan, pos. 156, is driven home against the rotor
shaft.
Check the pump by turning the fan.
Fit the fan cover, pos. 151, to the motor and fit and tighten the screws, pos. 152.
Connect the electric cable to the terminal box.
The pump is now assembled, and it can be tested.

Operating instructions for Centrifugal pumps
1.0 Product Description
This description applies for centrifugal pumps from the pump factory IRON LTD.
The type and number of the pump together with the order no. is to be found in the technical data sheet.
1.1 Capacities and Applications
• The maximum pressure, the permissible temperature and the pump media we have set the pump for is
stated in the technical data sheet. The performance of the pump can be seen in the graph.
• IRON LTD. does not render any guarantee if the type of liquid or other important working conditions
have been insufficiently specified or omitted.
• If the working conditions differ from those given in the technical data sheet Contact us before putting
the pump into operation.
1.2 Construction and function
Type CNL is a vertical centrifugal pump with closed coupled motor and a mechanical shaft sealing, for
remaining details see the technical sheet.
In principal a centrifugal pump is built up in the following manner:

It consists of an impeller furnished with blades that are normally curved backwards in relation to its di-
rection of rotation. The impeller is situated in a spiral pump case (snail shell). The pump case is equipped
with a suction flange and a pressure flange.
Before the pump is started the pump case and the suction line must be filled with water (or other liquid
which is to be pumped).
When the impeller starts rotating the blades cause the liquid to rotate in relation to the pump case.
Centrifugal force will sling the liquid out of the impeller and into the spiral of the pump case. This causes
a vacuum in the centre of the impeller exactly where the entrance is situated. As atmospheric pressure in-
fluences the surface of the water in the well (or in the tank from which one wishes to pump from) the cre-
ated vacuum (differential pressure) effects the fluid in the suction line and presses in into the centre of the
impeller.
When the water is slung out of the impeller and into the spiral of the pump case the velocity energy
which is created is changed to pressure energy. The pressure effects the amount of water in the pressure
line and starts this moving and hereby creates a continual flow (regular flow) from the suction line
through the pump to the pressure line.
1.3 Risks and leakages
IRON LTD: Products comply with the regulations for work safety and accident precautions.
If the workers are exposed to danger due to the media used having for example too high temperatures,
they must ensure that the necessary protection precautions are made.

e0207
Demands for the mounting setup
2.0 Environment conditions
Standard pumps are intended for installing in dry rooms free from aggressive atmosphere and having a
temperature between + 10 and 40 deg.C. Mounting under other conditions (e.g. outdoors, in damp rooms
etc.) is only allowed if it stated in the technical data sheet and is therefore suitable for these conditions.
2.1 Space requirements
The space required for the pump and the positions of the foundation holes are given in the dimension
print.
2.2 Foundation
The foundation with its mass must counteract vibrations, take up small outside stresses such as hydraulic
strain and “fitting in” forces from the pipelines.
• Damages due to insufficient or faulty foundation is not covered by the guarantee.
2.3 Electrical installations
Pumps with electric motors must have sufficiently dimensioned connections.

Kilowatt ratings are given in the technical data sheet. If the mechanical shaft seals need external cooling
/ lubricating the necessary amount of coolant is given under the instruction for the mechanical shaft seal.
2.4 Leakages
Leaking can arise from the mechanical shaft seals so it is recommended to fit a drainpipe to them.

Transport and installation
3.0 Condition at delivery
IRON Products are tested before delivery to ensure perfect running condition. A test run is made of the
pump using water to check the performance data stated in the technical specifications and shown in the
flow range chart.
3.1 Transport and storage
The standard packing protects the pump against corrosion by land transport and storage in dry conditions
for a least 3 months. The storage for longer periods of time will require special precautions to be taken.
Carriage by sea packing protects the pump by land transport and sea conveyance and by dry storage (in
roofed or in closed store rooms) for a least 3 years. On arrival at destination the packing must be exam-
ined to make sure that its condition is sufficiently sound to protect the contents during storage.
• The packing must be opened when:
• It is seriously damaged.
• The product is to be stored longer than originally planned.
In all other cases the packing must be opened only at erection. At removal of packing the product must be
examined for any omissions or defects.
3.2 Mounting on base
If the pump and motor are delivered separately, they must be assembled, see instructions for fitting the
coupling / shaft. After being assembled the unit can be mounted directly on to a suitable foundation.
3.3 Installation of pump
The piping system must be subjected to pressure testing, examined for leakages and rinsed before it is
connected to the suction and discharge sides of the pump. If pressure testing is done after installation of
pump the pressure applied is limited by the testing pressure tolerated by the pump (see stamp is pump,
usually to be found in suction flange), as the pump seals or the mechanical shaft might otherwise be dam-
aged. The piping system must be connected to the pump without using force so as not to destabilize the
pump alignment. Measures must be taken to support pipe connections to the pump so as to prevent exces-
sive stresses from being imparted to the pump due to factors such as thermal expansion.
Check that all other pump connections are in perfect working condition including e.g. lubrication suc-
tion, heating, cooling medium outlet, etc. and also make sure that the measuring equipment has been
appropriately adapted. Pay attention that no parts prevent easy pump inspection or replacement of key
parts.
Page 7
3.4 Electrical
Electric motors must be connected in accordance with the local regulations and with enough cable to
allow the motor to be removed without disconnecting the wires, an electrical switch (emergency stop)
must be installed near to the pump.
3.5 Pipe installation
Points to be considered:
Loss of pressure in the suction line must be kept at a minimum in order to avoid cavitation in the pump.
Static suction height + loss of pressure in the suction line + NPSH value for the pump + steam pressure
must not exceed 10 mWC at sea level. Long suction pipes making air pockets possible should be avoided.
3.6 Installation of pipelines
Suction and pressure lines must be connected to the flanges of the pump free from strain, as eventual
stresses are taken up at fixed points and therefore suitable compensators should be installed in the pipe
system. The flanges in between which the pump is installed must be absolutely parallel.
3.7 Recommended accessories
As the pump, especially the mechanical shaft sealing, is designed to run with clean water without sludge
a suitable filter must be installed in the suction line.
3.8 Safety arrangements
If the pump should run with closed valves for a longer period of time, it should be furnished either with
temperature control equipment or recirculation, otherwise it will run hot.
3.9 Disassembling and transport
• Before sending the pump for repair, Please note the following:
• All media remains to be removed from the pump.
The sender is liable for damage inflicted to the pump or other goods caused by media remains leaking.

Running instructions for centrifugal pumps
4.0 Prevention of accidents
Ensure that the pump and motor are mounted according to instructions, all connections are right and the
necessary screens and guards are in order.
If the workers should be exposed to danger e.g. the media having high temperatures, the user must take
the necessary precautions such as periodic examination for leakages from all packings.
Air escape valves are to be opened very carefully.
The pump must be emptied before it is opened.
4.1 Start up
Before starting:
Carefully fill the pump with water and let the air escape.
• Make sure that the water does not come too quickly as this can cause pressure thrusts which can
destroy the mechanical shaft seal.
• Check the coupling.
• Ensure that the pump can be turned by hand.
• Start the motor for a short period and check the direction of rotation - Remember that the pump must
be filled with water, so as not to destroy the shaft seals.
4.2 During start up
Normally the pump is started with discharge valve closed and filled with water.
After starting, the discharge valve is slowly opened until the working point is reached.
Immediately after start, check for noise and vibrations. At the normal head of the pump and after running
for about a minute it should have a very steady motion without unusual noise and vibrations.
Check seal housing for leakages.
4.3 Stand-by pump
If the pump is not used frequently it must started or rotated at least once a week to avoid damaging the
shaft seals.
Page 9
4.4 Maintenance
• Check every 3 months:

Unusual noise, vibrations and leakages.
Pumps with mechanical shaft seals must not leak either during standstill with inlet pressure on the pump
or when running. Circulation pipe to the mechanical shaft seal must be intact and not blocked. If any of
these points are lacking, they must immediately be put right, otherwise any defects can have great impor-
tance to the function of the pump and its lifetime.
• Check every 12 months:

Take the pump apart (see instruction).
The rotating parts are checked and repaired of necessary. Normal clearance between the impeller and
sealing ring is 0,45-0,50 mm. Maximum clearance is 0,8-1,0 mm. depending on the size and capacity.
4.5 Lubrication
The motor bearings are greased in accordance with the motor instruction.

Open the vent cock (S) on the top cover and fill up the filter with water from the upper
connection as the water flow has to reach from top bottom.
Open the emptying valve (P) so much that the filter is still full of water in order to rinse
the filter mass, and leave the valve open for an hour or as long as it takes for the water
to be clear.
Close the emptying valve (P) and bring 3-way valve ® in correct position. After that
the filter is ready for service.
In service
When re-charging the filter, make sure that the strainer in the bottom outlet is in good
order. Once a week the filter should be back- flushed or any time when the pressure drop
through the filter is too high for the freshwater pump.
If the filter mass shows signs of pollution, then cleaning can be effected by charging the
filter with a heavily diluted hydrochline acid by a subsequent careful rinsing process.
The lifetime of filter mass (dolomit) is approx. 1500 service hours.
