Filtration

Two filters must be installed on the pump suction line, positioned as indicated in Fig. 7 and Fig. 7/a.

The filter must be installed as close as possible to the pump,
it must be easily inspected and must have the following
characteristics:
1. Minimum flow rate at least 3 times the nominal flow rate
of the pump.
2. Inlet/outlet port diameters no smaller than the inlet port
diameter of the pump.
3. Filtration grade between 200 and 360 µm.
For smooth pump operation, regular filter
cleaning is necessary, planned according to the
actual use of the pump in relation to the quality
of water used and actual clogging conditions.

For the correct laying of the outlet line, the following
installation rules must be followed:
1. The internal diameter of the pipe must be sufficient to
ensure correct fluid velocity, see graph in par. 9.8.
2. The first section of the line connected to the pump outlet
must be a flexible hose, in order to isolate the vibrations
produced by the pump of the rest of the system.
3. Use high pressure pipes and fittings to ensure high safety
margins in all operating conditions.
4. The outlet line must always be provided with a safety
valve.
5. Use pressure gauges suitable to withstand pulsating loads
typical of the plunger pumps.
6. During the design stage, keep in mind the line load losses
which result in a drop in pressure during use with respect
to the pressure measured on the pump.
7. For those applications where pulses produced by the
pump on the outlet line may prove harmful or unwanted,
install a pulsation dampener of sufficient size.
