3.1 General Pump Unit
The pump supplied is a positive displacementsingle diaphragm pump, supplied with a driveunit (see below). The drawing below indicatesvarious parts of the pump.
3.2 Principle of Operation
The pump operates by rotation of the gearboxdrive shaft turning the crank assembly and thusproviding the reciprocating pumping action ofthe diaphragm, as shown below. On the upwardstroke the product is pulled through the suctionvalve into the pump body. The downwardstroke shuts the suction valve whilst at thesame time forcing the product out through thedischarge valve.

4.1 System Design Advice
When designing the pumping system :-
Do - confirm that the pumping systemhas not altered since the pump wasordered.
Do - avoid high suction lifts and manifold/common suction lines for two pumpsrunning in parallel, as this may causevibration.
Do - protect the pump against blockagefrom hard solid objects e.g. nuts,bolts etc. Also protect the pumpfrom accidental operation against aclosed valve by using one of thefollowing methods :- relief valves,pressure switch, current monitoringdevice.
Suction linePlan view
Discharge line
4.0 System Design and Information
Do - fit suction and discharge pressuregauges to monitor pressures fordiagnostic purposes.
Do - install non-return valve to preventsyphoning when high pressures areapplied to the pump whilst it is not inuse. Valves are also recommendedif two pumps are to be used onmanifold/common discharge lines.
Note: It may be necessary to fit apulsation damper in this situation.
Do - provide a hose cleaning facility toassist maintenance, ensuring thedrive unit meets the specification forhose cleaning.
Do not- use the pump on high suction orhigh discharge static heads.

Operating Manual
securing the pump unit a foundation is required,this will also absorb vibration, strain or shock onthe pumping unit.
Foundation Size
The foundation should be approximately 150mmlonger and wider than the mounting base of theunit. The depth of the foundation should beapproximately 150mm.
Bolt Location Dimensions
The location and sizes of the relevant boltingdown holes can be provided on a certifieddrawing from your supplier.
Typical Foundation Bolts
The drawing below shows two methods forfoundation bolt retaining. The sleeve allows for'slight' lateral movement of the bolts after thefoundation is poured. Use rag or paper toprevent the concrete from entering the sleevewhile the foundation is poured. A minimum of14 days is required to allow the curing of theconcrete prior to operation.

4.3 Installation
Before the pump is installed it is advisable toconsider the following:
Always - Ensure that the mountingsurface is flat and always allowat least one metre for pumpaccess/maintenance allaround the pump.
Weight - Consider the weight of thepump and drive for lifting gearrequirements.
- Ensure that there is anadequate electrical supplyclose to the pump drive unit.This should be compatible withthe electric motor selected.

Operating Manual
All pipework must be supported. The pumpmust not be allowed to support any of thepipework weight.
Remember - Pipework supports must alsosupport the weight of theproduct being pumped.
Always :-
Have - Short straight suction lines toreduce friction losses in thepipework thereby improvingthe NPSH available.
Avoid - Bends, tees and any restraintsclose to either suction ordischarge side of pump. Uselong radius bends whereverpossible.
Provide - Isolating valves on each sideof the pump to isolate the pumpwhen necessary.
Fit - where possible, a pipe of adiameter which maintains a selfcleaning velocity.
Keep - Pipework horizontal whereapplicable to reduce air locks.If required include eccentricreducers on suction lines.
Retain - Liquid in the pump at all times.See below for pipeworkarrangement.

Suction Lift Application
Note: Always use long radius bends.
Self cleansing velocity
In situations where the pump is to bepumping down long discharge lines and isdesigned with rest periods of sufficienttime to allow solids to settle, we wouldrecommend that the lines be flushedthrough with clean water. This water shouldbe pumped through the system at a selfcleansing velocity to ensure that no solidmatter is left in the lines.
Priming Pipework
If this pump type is to be installed on anapplication where it is to perform a suctionlift, we would recommend that primingpipework be fitted to the pump in-order tocreate a fluid trap around it, as shown inthe diagram below.
Priming
On initial installation or after pumpmaintenance, the pumps will requirepriming.
Maintenance
Consideration should be given whendesigning the installation that sufficientspace is available for maintenance.

Operating Manual
Syphon Break Application
Note: Always use long radius bends
Syphoning
On installations where the top water levelin the suction tank is above the dischargeinvert level there is a theoretical chanceof the pumps syphoning this is particularlyso on thin watery sludge’s. Provisionshould be made on these types ofinstallations to counter this effect by wayof a siphon break or a motorised valvewhich comes in to operation when thepump stops.
Re-priming
On installations were the pump is seeinga positive discharge head and has to bestriped/removed for maintenance,difficulty may be experienced in re-primingthe pump. For this type of installation wewould recommend that either thedischarge line be emptied or a backpressure relief system be employed. Thiscould be done by teeing into the dischargeline local to the pump and returning itback to the suction tank.
Surge arrestorsSurge arrestors should be fitted to anypump working with either a high dischargehead and long delivery pipework or longsuction lifts. This is due to surge hammerwhich is the main cause of mechanicalfailure within the pump. There is also asignificant improvement in sound powerreadings if surge arrestors are fitted.

4.11
Float switch
When considering the installation of asingle disc pump caution should beexpressed over a suction condition whichis flooded. This is due to a potential leakpassage to atmosphere if the pumpdiaphragm fails. In such an installation it isimportant that a protection devise such asour diaphragm float switch be employedto either send an alarm or isolate thepump automatically if this situation shouldarise.
