4. Commissioning
4.1 General
The pump may be commissioned only by the trained personnel of the operating party or by members of
the Barmag pump service.
4.2 Preheating
∙
The pump must be started up only when the required operating temperature has been reached and
when being evenly and completely heated.
∙
There are two possibilities to preheat the pump.
- preheating in an oven
- preheating in the installation
∙
In case of first commissioning, residues of silicone oil remain in the pump. In order to avoid the silic­
one oil crystallizing out at high temperature, the following temperatures and their respective preheating
times must not be exceeded:
temperature 225 C:
4.3 Checks
After the proper assembly of the pump in the equipment the following tests must be carried out before
starting-up (driving shaft of the pump drive not yet mounted ):
∙
Check the tightening torques of the pump fastening screws (refer to table, Chapter 8).
∙
Check the ease of pump rotation.
∙
Check the direction of rotation of the drive (see on pump data sheet (Chapter 7.) for permissible direc­
tion of rotation). The wrong rotation direction can damage the pump and the installation.
