•
For non-degassing media with a viscosity similar to water, the
pump can be mounted on the tank (observe the maximum
suction lift).
•
Flooded suction preferred.
•
For media with a tendency to sedimentation, install the suction
line with filter (13i) so that the suction valve remains a few
millimetres above the possible level of sedimentation.

Note for suction-side installation: Depending on the dosing
flow and the line length, it may be necessary to install a
properly sized pulsation damper (4i) immediately before the
pump suction valve.

pulsation dampers

Note for discharge-side installation: Depending on the dosing
flow and the line length, it may be necessary to install a
properly sized pulsation damper (4i) on the discharge side.
To protect the system, use pulsation dampers (8i) for
rigid piping longer than 2 metres and tubing longer
Note
than 3 metres, depending on pump type and size.

Risk of damage to the system!
It is always recommended to use pulsation dampers
for large high-speed pumps!
Caution
Since the pulsation is influenced by many factors, a
system-specific calculation is essential. Request a
calculation from our calculation program.
•
For degassing and viscous media: flooded suction.
•
Install a filter in the suction line to prevent the valves from
becoming choked.
•
To protect the dosing pump and the discharge line against
excessive pressure build-up, install a relief valve (6i) in the
discharge line.

With open outflow of the dosing medium or a
counter-pressure below 2 bar
•
Install a pressure-loading valve (7i) immediately before the
outlet or the injection unit.
A positive pressure difference of at least 2 bar must be ensured
between the counter-pressure at the injection point and the
pressure of the dosing medium at the pump suction valve.
•
If this cannot be ensured, install a pressure-loading valve (7i)
in the discharge line.

To avoid the siphon effect, install a pressure-loading valve (7i)
in the discharge line and, if necessary, a solenoid valve (14i) in
the suction line.
