When the pump is used in an ATEX zone it is necessary to
measure the duty point and check that temperature
increase corresponding to each working condition is acceptable
regarding selected surface temperature.
The formula below gives the correspondence between surface
temperature / fluid temperature and pump efficiency :

Maximum speed :
The maximum speed for each bearing bracket size is indicated in
the table below. The critical speeds of the impellers are much
higher than the maximum allowable speed of the corresponding
bearing bracket.

Number of starts per hour :
Wait for pump full stop before starting‐up the pump again
to avoid damaging the motor and the pump.
Starting frequency depends on motor type. Ask
manufacturer if necessary.
It is recommended to limit the number of starts per hour to :
15 starts per hour up to 15KW,
10 starts per hour up to 90KW,
6 starts per hour for higher installed powers.
5.2.2.5 TYPE OF HANDLED FLUIDS
The pump is used to transfer clear liquids or slightly laden fluids.
Fluid maximum viscosity is 500 cSt (mm² ).
It is possible to pump fluids containing particles when pump is run
at 1450 RPM with the following restrictions :
Solids size smaller than 1 mm : 10% maxi in volume.
Light particles with smaller size than 1 mm : 35% maxi of the
volume but liquid specific gravity should not be modified.
Pump can occasionally handle bigger size of solids but it will
drive to a reduction of pump life, increasing of equipment
noise level and absorbed power.
Free passage depends on the pump size :
