Air Trap Point
IMPORTANT
The vent line is designed to prevent air lock by
bleeding off trapped air. This allows the pump to prime
and keeps some fresh solution circulating by the seal.
IMPORTANT
For proper venting, the vent line must continually rise
from the pump to the top of the tank. A small amount
of solution will move through this line back to the solu-
tion tank indicating a primed pump.
Centrifugal Pump
Pump operation is very important. The following must
be followed when operating a centrifugal pump. Proper
pump operation will make your system operate with
minimal maintenance and down time. Failure to follow the
manufacturer’s pump operation instructions will void the
pump warranty.
The pump
must never be run
in a non-flooded condition.
Operating the pump in a non-flooded condition will cause
extensive seal damage and possible pump damage. To
verify the pump is flooded, visually check pump vent
line for fluid. Fluid will appear in vent line when pump is
flooded.
A ”flooded” condition is when the centrifugal pump is
completely full of fluid and no pockets of air are present in
the pump. In order to get maximum pump efficiency the
mounting and plumbing must meet the guidelines stated
below.
1. The pump inlet must be mounted below the product
tank(s) sump to allow gravity to naturally fill the pump
with liquid. See Figures 1 - 3.
2. The suction line must have a continual rise from the
pump inlet to the tank sump.
3. The pump must have the vent line plumbed to it.
Hydraulically Driven Centrifugal Pump:
It is very important that the proper oil flow is supplied to
the hydraulic motor which powers the pump. Excessive flow
will over-speed the motor and cause motor damage. To reg-
ulate the correct oil flow to the pump motor see the pump
manufacturer’s manual.
