Take Care - BOMBAS IDEAL CPH Serie Manual De Uso Y Mantenimiento

Bombas Ideal, S.A.
2. The diameter must be 1.5 to 2 times the diameter of the pump's suction flange.
3. The inlet cone must be eccentric when the pump works under depression. If it works under
load this cone can be concentric.
4. The piping should be upwards towards the pump, with a slope of at least 2%.
5. It must be properly sealed, preventing the admission of air.
6. When the pump has negative suction, in order to prime it, it should have a suitable foot
valve placed at the required depth (submergence) to prevent air intake through vortices
forming.
The delivery piping must meet the following requisites:
1. Being sealed.
2. Having the proper dimensions to avoid excessive head losses.
3. Having a delivery valve at the outlet of the pump.
4. Where necessary, a non-return valve should be installed between the pump and the
delivery valve as well as the appropriate devices tending to eliminate the harmful effects of
any possible water hammers.

TAKE CARE

the pipes should be held on supports close to the body of the pump so that they do not
transmit any stresses on the pump flanges.
8.3.- Alignment of the set
Alignments is done in our factory, nevertheless before starting up the set it should be verified with piping
connected.
TAKE NOTE
Check that the sense of rotation of the motor coincides with the sense of rotation of the
pump.
The semi-elastic coupling should always be properly aligned. Improper alignment can cause
wear to the elastic parts of the coupling (flectors), pump's mechanical seal and motor bearings.
It may also cause vibrations and damage the shaft.
The pump set is delivered from factory properly aligned. Nevertheless to control the alignment of the
pump set, coupling halves must be verified with the aid of a rule of as explained bellow. This check on the
external face of the coupling should be repeated at 90º.
This should be checked on your premises through possible variations during transport.
