Nevertheless, it should be understood that for a given oil, the real functioning temperature range also depends
on the variability of the viscosity of the oil itself with different temperatures. Specifically:
Under the temperature below 14°F, the viscosity of some oils can greatly exceed the maximum allowed by
this pump, which will cause that the static torque required to start the pump would be excessive, and the
pump may overload and damage.
Under the temperature above +140°F, on the other hand, the viscosity of some oils can drop well below
the minimum allowed by this pump, which will cause that the back pressure increases, and the pump may
degrade in performance with obvious reductions in flow rate.
2. ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY
The AC pump must be supplied by a single-phase alternating current line whose nominal values are shown in
the table TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS above. The maximum acceptable variations from the electrical
parameters are:
Voltage: ± 5% of the nominal value
Frequency: ± 2% of the nominal value
WARNING:
Power from lines with values outside the indicated limits can damage the electrical components.
3. WORKING CYCLE
Under normal operating conditions they can function continuously with no limitations.
WARNING:
DO NOT KEEP THE PUMP WORK IN BYPASS CONDITION MORE THAN 2 MINUTES.
Whenever a particular installation carries the risk of functioning in bypass mode for longer periods of time, it is
necessary to return the bypassed flow to the suction tank, but not recirculated inside the pump.
4. FLUID ALLOWED / FLUIDS NOT ALLOWED
ALLOWED: Oil with a Viscosity from 500 to 2000 Cst (at working temperature)
NOT ALLOWED
