All moving parts in the pumps are submersed
in the pumped fluid, which acts as a lubricant
and coolant. Do not run the pump dry.
Packing is not recommended for Explosive
environments due to the possibility of high
temperature in the area of the stuffing box due
to mis-adjustment. If packing is used, thermal
monitoring is required to meet ATEX
requirements
Verify pump turns freely
The use of a strainer is recommended
The use of bearing flushing is recommended
The bearing housings need to be examined for
signs of overheating, abnormal noise, or
discoloration on a daily basis. Alternatively
continuous temperature monitoring can be
fitted and set to trip the drive power at 10 C
above normal baseline temperature
Monitor pump frequently when pumping non-
lubricating fluids
Check lubricant level weekly and monitor for
leaks daily
Regular cleaning is needed to prevent deposits
from accumulating in a thickness great enough
to become an ignition hazard
The pump must be grounded (bonded) at the
"Protective Earth Ground" location marked on
the pump
Vent cavities to prevent Oxygen / Air build up
Recommend Temperature monitors
Recommend Flow indicator
Recommend Power monitor
Recommend Pressure switch
If an electric motor is used as a driver for the
pump, it must be ATEX approved for the
