8.2 Noise level

See table A, pag. 93.
In cases where the LpA noise levels exceed 85 dB(A),
suitable HEARING PROTECTION must be used in
the place of installation, as required by the regulations
in force.

8.3 Hot and cold parts

DANGER OF BURNING !!

As well as being at high temperature
and high pressure, the fluid in the
system may also be in the form of
steam!
It may be dangerous even to touch the pump or
parts of the system.
If the hot or cold parts are a source of danger, they
must be accurately protected to avoid contact with
them.
9. INSTALLATION
The pumps
quantities of residual water from
testing. We advise flushing them
briefly with clean water before their
final installation.
9.1 Pump installation

The electropump must be fitted in a well ventilated
place and with an environment temperature not
exceeding 40°C.

Electropumps with degree of protection IP55 may
be installed in dusty and damp environments,
without any specific protection.

It is always good practice to place the pump as
close as possible to the liquid to be pumped.

The installation baseplate, provided by the
customer, if they are metallic they have to be
painted rust and corrosion. They have to be flat
and stiff enough to resist to short circuit forces
and avoid resonnance due to vibrations.

Concrete basements have to be well solid and dry
before installing the pumps.

A firm anchoring of the feet of the pump assembly
on the base helps absorb any vibrations created
by pump operation.

The pump may be installed in either horizontal or
vertical position, as long as the motor is always
above the pump.

Ensure that the metal pipes do not transmit
excess force to the pump apertures, so as to
avoid causing deformations or breakages.

Use pipes with a suitable thread to avoid damage
to the inserts.

The internal diameter of the pipes must never be
smaller than that of the apertures of the pump.

If the head at intake is negative, it is indispensable
to fit a foot valve with suitable characteristics at
intake.

ENGLISH

For suction depths of over four metres or with long
horizontal stretches it is advisable to use an intake
pipe with a diameter larger than that of the intake
aperture of the pump.

Any passage from a pipe with a small diameter to
one with a larger diameter must be gradual. The
length of the passage cone must be 5 to 7 times the
difference in diameter.

Check accurately to ensure that the joins in the
intake pipe do not allow air infiltrations.

To prevent the formation of air pockets, the intake
pipe must slope slightly upwards towards the pump.

non-return valve

Interception valves must be fitted upstream and
downstream from the pump so as to avoid having to
drain the system
maintenance. Do not run the pump with closed
valve on the plant.

If there is any possibility of the pump operating with
the interception valves closed, provide a by-pass
circuit or a drain leading to a liquid recovery tank.

To reduce noise to a minimum it is advisable to fit
vibration-damping couplings on the intake and
delivery pipes and between the motor feet and the
foundation.
If more than one pump is installed, each pump must

have its own intake pipe. The only exception is the
reserve pump (if envisaged).
