APPLICATIONS
The constant flow regulator is used instead of the Qmax-orifice at the discharge nozzle
of the pump. Therefore also the counterflanges necessary for the Qmax orifice are not
applied. It limits the maximum flow rate of the pump. Contrary to the Qmax-orifice, the
whole pump pressure is available after the valve if flow rate < Qmax. The constant flow
regulator limits flow velocity so that the maximum flow rate specified on the nameplate
is not exceeded. This protects the pump from overcharge and assures that the flow rate
is maintained within the optimum NPSH-range of the pump.
OPERATING METHOD
The regulation of the flow rate is achieved by specially shaped ports in a spring-loaded,
moving piston (Fig.2). Due to the pressure differential before and behind the piston, it
regulates which in turn changes the exposed area of the orifice. As the pressure
differential increases, the cartridge moves to counterbalance the spring force. This
displacement moves part of the variable port past the stationary orifice plate. If the
pressure differential decreases, the cartridge regulatestes in response to the pressure
differential which in turn increases the exposed area of the orifice. If the pressure
differential exceeds a specified maximum, the spring is fully depressed against the stop
and the valve acts as a fixed-area orifice. This is also the fact if the pressure drops
beyond the required minimum.

INSTALLATION INSTALLATION OF THE CONSTANT FLOW REGULATOR
1. Prior to installation of the constant flow regulator, the pipe has to be cleaned of
welding slag, pipe scale and other contaminants which could disturb the flow
regulation.
2. The constant flow regulator has to be installed at the discharge side of the pump.
The valve is marked with an arrow head in order to show the direction of flow. The
valve must be installed so that the flow is as indicated for proper operation.
3. Lubricate the seals slightely with oil before putting them in the flanged groove.
4. Fasten the bolts uniformly in order to prevent a possible leakage and to avoid that
the bolts are stressed.
5. Check the system with regard to leakage prior to start-up of the valve.

OPERATION AND
MAINTENANCE
Page : 5
OPERATION
For optimum operation, air entrainment in the fluid should be eliminated. The
constant flow regulator must remain full of fluid during system operation.
The operation of the valve is dependent on the characteristics of the flowing

media. It is therefore important that when ordering a valve, complete fluid
specifications are indicated.
Specific gravity is the most important attribute for the correct design of a valve
The valve is available for the following flow rates:
NQL - 61 - 44 - 8 for NW 32 Draw.-no.: 46441.1 Qmax = 9,99 m3/h

NQL - 62 - 85 - 8 for NW 40 Draw.-no.: 52023 Qmax = 19,3 m3/h
NW 50 52024
NQL - 62 - 110 - 8 for NW 40 Draw.-no.: 52023 Qmax = 25 m3/h
NW 50 52024
NQL - 62 - 150 - 8 for NW 40 Draw.-no.: 52023 Qmax = 34,1 m3/h
NW 50 52024
Specified values are valid for H2O with a specific gravity of 1000 kg/m3.
MAINTENANCE
There is no need for regular maintenance of the constant flow regulator and
no readjustment is required.
Spare cartridge assemblies may be ordered when required.

3.1 INTRODUCTION
This information was written to be read and observed in all aspects by those responsible for the
operation of HERMETIC pumps.
This entire technical document should always be kept near HERMETIC pumps.
Important information for the operation of HERMETIC pumps is contained in these operating
instructions.
Improper operation of HERMETIC pumps can be avoided and proper function guaranteed only when
these operating instructions are observed. For this reason, it is essential that the responsible persons
read these operating instructions.
We recommend that these operating instructions be read carefully, as we cannot be held liable for
damage or malfunctions resulting from the non-observance of these operating instructions.
Should difficulties arise despite this, please contact our customer service or replacement part
department, or one of our representatives, who will be pleased to be of assistance.
These operating instructions were written for HERMETIC pumps type CAM 1 / CAM 2 only. Technical
modifications for the improvement of HERMETIC pumps which deviate from the illustrations and
specifications contained in these operating instructions are reserved.
3.2 SCOPE OF APPLICATION
HERMETIC pumps are completely closed-circuit centrifugal pumps designed without shaft seals; the
pumps are driven electromagnetically by means of "canned" motors.
Because HERMETIC pumps are completely sealed, they are used wherever aggressive, poisonous,
flammable, explosive, valuable or highly volatile liquids have to be pumped. HERMETIC pumps are
also available for pumping extremely hot or cold products, and for pumping liquids under high system
pressure or vacuum.
To ensure that HERMETIC pumps optimally fulfil the requirements for different applications, a range
of type sizes is available for different pump capacities and delivery heads.
HERMETIC pumps are designed for the range of application listed in the technical specifications.
Before taking HERMETIC pumps into operation outside of the contractually stipulated range of
application, please contact the factory or our representative, as the warranty otherwise becomes
invalid.

5.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
pumps are driven electromagnetically by means of the "canned" motor. Due to their design, the
pumps are practically maintenance-free when installed and operated in accordance with these
instructions. To cool the motor and lubricate the slide bearings, and for hydraulic balancing of axial
thrust, part of the main pump flow is branched off through a self-cleaning filter and, after having flown
through the rotor chamber and the hollow shaft, is returned between two impellers.
5.2 DESIGN
HERMETIC pumps type CAM of horizontal design with axial suction inlet and radial discharge outlet
are manufactured either in single- or multi-stage design acc. to modular construction.
5.2.1 SHAFT BEARING
The shaft features two hydrodynamic slide bearings; these slide bearings are lubricated directly by the
pumping medium.
5.2.2 MOTOR
The canned motor which is a three-phase squirrel-cage motor differs from conventional motor design
by the "motor can" (stator can). The stator can seals off the rotor chamber, which is filled with liquid,
from the stator chamber, which is filled with air. The stator can protects the stator winding from
aggressive pumping media while providing effective magnetic transmission of power to the rotor.
Under higher system pressure, reinforcement rings in the self-supporting section of the stator can
between the stator plates and the casing cover provide additional support for the thin-walled stator
can. The stator can is designed as a sealing element, not as a pressure-bearing element.
Heat due to energy losses of the canned motor is transferred directly to the pumping medium.
5.2.2.1 PARTIAL MOTOR FLOW
In HERMETIC pumps, the partial motor flow is of special importance. It not only serves to dissipate
the heat due to energy losses of the motor, but is also required for lubrication of the slide bearings
and axial thrust balancing. HERMETIC pumps are equipped with a self-cleaning partial flow filter to
protect the slide bearings against soiling.
DESIGN AND FUNCTION

Page : 7
5.2.3 AXIAL THRUST BALANCING
During operation, axial thrust of HERMETIC pumps is hydraulically compensated.
5.2.4 FUNCTION
The pumped liquid flows through the suction chamber into the pump impellers and is then conveyed
to the discharge nozzle. The motor partial flow is diverted from the main flow by means of a partial
flow filter and is conveyed back between two impellers after having flown through the rotor chamber
and the hollow shaft.
Fig. 2
5.2.5 MODE OF OPERATION
Because HERMETIC pumps are provided with slide bearings, they should preferably be operated
continuously. This results in the longest service life and minimum susceptibility to malfunction. Even
if the connected equipment does not require the pumped medium for certain periods, continuous
operation can be maintained by installing a by-pass line.
G Attention ! Do not constantly switch from the operating to the stand-by pump!
5.2.6 ASSEMBLY AND TRIAL OPERATION
HERMETIC pumps are fully assembled by HERMETIC-Pumpen GmbH and subject to trial operation,
compression test and inspection for leaks.
DESIGN AND FUNCTION

Page : 8
5.2.7 NAMEPLATE
All HERMETIC pumps are equipped with a nameplate (attached to the canned motor) which specifies
type and serial number (Equipment no.). The nameplate also lists the specifications of motor and
pump, and maximum permissible values for operating pressure and operating temperature.
Please always include the equipment number in inquiries and replacement part orders. The
equipment number is also stamped on the circumference of the suction flange.
INSTALLATION

Contents : Page:
6.1 General information 9

6.3 Installation of complete pump 9
6.7 Monitoring equipement 12
6.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
Prior to installation, HERMETIC pumps must be checked for any transit damage.
If two or more similar pumps are delivered, use only one pump to make pipework connections if
possible. Remove the covers of the flanges only directly before installing in the cleaned pipelines.
Then turn the rotor through the suction side inlet by means of a socket spanner for several times and
check it for easy running.
We cannot be held liable for damage due to improper installation.
6.2 PRE-REQUISITES FOR INSTALLATION
Ensure sufficient space is available for installation. Please refer to the dimensional drawing for
dimensions.
6.3 INSTALLATION OF THE COMPLETE PUMP SET
HERMETIC pumps normally operate with very low vibration levels. Reinforced foundations or
baseplates are not necessary for smaller outputs (up to 20 kW).
HERMETIC pumps must be carefully aligned horizontally, placing strips of sheet metal under the
base if necessary.
6.4 GENERAL INFORMATION ON PIPING
The suction and discharge line must be laid such that the permissible flange loads are not exceeded.
The pump must not be regarded as an anchor point for pipelines.
Use pipework in compliance with recognised technical standards and suitable for the specific
operating conditions. Ensure that permissible loads and torques are not exceeded.
All pipework must be flushed thoroughly in order to prevent mill scale, welding shot, and other foreign
matter from getting into the HERMETIC pump. If necessary, a suitable strainer must be mounted in
the suction line during the start-up period. Pressure gauges ahead of the suction port and downstream
of the discharge port facilitate discharge head monitoring.
6.5 SUCTION LINE
Refrigerants are liquefied gases which are boiling. To avoid cavitation, a minimum suction head
(eMin) is required (pls. see HERMETIC information bulletin: "NPSH of Pump Units and Pumping
Systems"). As refrigeration plants often have only very low suction heads, HERMETIC refrigerant
pumps feature very low NPSH requirements. However, these machines can only be properly utilised
when suction line losses are kept to a minimum.
The minimum suction head required is calculated acc. to the following formula:
INSTALLATION
Page : 10
emin (m) = NPSH req. (m) + suction line friction loss (m) + safety allowance (m)*
* usually 0,5m
The sizing and design of the suction line is of great importance. To ensure trouble-free operation
of the pumps, each pump should be provided with a separate suction line. If two pumps are operated
in parallel, one suction line will be sufficient (on condition that one pump is a stand-by pump).
The suction line should be short, well insulated and fitted with a steady slope to the pump. To ensure
proper function at Qopt., we recommend the following suction line diameters:
DNs 65 with pump type CAM 1, and DNs 100 with pump type CAM 2. The recommended flow rate in
the suction line should be max. 0.3-0,5 m/sec. to give optimum operating conditions.
The suction line must lead as directly as possible to the separator, i.e. without horizontal lines, to
ensure that the gas evolving within the suction line or pump can flow to the separator in reverse to the
liquid flow (Fig. 3).
Baffle plates should be installed at the accumulator outlet or before pump suction line to eliminate
vortex formation.
It is recommended to install a ball valve with free passage in the suction line. A suction filter is not
advisable. To avoid particles damaging the pump slide bearings, HERMETIC refrigerant pumps
incorporate an integral self-cleaning filter.

6.6 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The regulations as stipulated by VDE 0100 and VDE 0165 must be observed.
Connecting the phases L1 - L2 - L3 to terminals U1 - V1 - W1 ensures correct direction of rotation,
which is, as seen from the inlet side of the pumps, counter-clockwise. Please note the directional
arrow of the pump.
G
HERMETIC pumps should never be allowed to run dry to
Attention ! determine the direction of rotation of the pump!
The canned motor must be provided with a motor-protection breaker acc. to VDE 0660. The
protection breaker must be set to the intensity of current specified on the nameplate.
Canned motors operate in mode S1 (continuous operation). In normal operation (nominal voltage,
nominal cooling, nominal temperature of pumping medium), the permissible number of switching
actuations is approx. 6 starts/hour, which should be distributed as evenly as possible to prevent
overheating of the motor windings.
6.7 MONITORING DEVICES
Pressure gauges ahead of the suction port and downstream of the discharge port facilitate discharge
head monitoring.
6.7.1 LOAD REGULATOR
A load regulator can be installed to avoid motor under or overload.
6.7.2 CONSTANT FLOW REGULATOR
HERMETIC can supply a constant flow regulator to ensure that the max. permissible flow rate is not
exceeded. It is used instead of a Qmax-orifice but cannot be compared with it.
The constant flow regulator provides a steady rate of flow to the system when higher discharge
pressures at higher flow rates are necessary.

7.1 Initial operation 13-16

7.1 INITIAL OPERATION
G Attention ! HERMETIC pumps should never run dry.

Cavitation is not permissible.
7.1.1 For fully satisfactory operation, HERMETIC pumps must be primed and vented properly.
When installed acc. to Fig. 5, the pump is vented via the Qmin bypass line, by fully opening
the pump suction and bypass line shut-off valves.
7.1.2 The pump is not to be started unless it is primed with liquid refrigerant. During first priming,
wait until all pump parts have cooled down almost to the refirgerant temperature.
G Attention ! As a special-design unit for handling liquefied gases, the pump is

suitable for operation up to a certain max. temperature only, as
shown in the Technical Specification.
7.1.3 For starting, slightly open the shut-off valve in the pump discharge line.
7.1.4 For trouble-free HERMETIC refrigerant pump operation, the permissible operating range must
be maintained (pls. see Fig. 4). Minimum flow is required for:
a) sufficient cooling of canned motor
b) prevention of vaporising inside the pump (dry-running of slide bearings)
c) avoidance of cavitation in the low range of the pump
Maximum flow is limited by:

a) motor power rating
b) available suction head; NPSHreq. increases with increasing flow
c) need to maintain sufficient pressure in the motor and to avoid vaporisation of the liquid

START-UP AND
STOPPING
Page : 14
Maintaining the permissible operating range is ensured by the use of a by-pass or suitable Qmin-
and Qmax-orifices (pls. see Fig. 5). Instead of the Qmax-orifice, a differential pressure control can
be used which shuts down the pump when the discharge head becomes lower than the minimum
permissible discharge head (PdS). Switch-off delay: max. 10 sec.
G Attention ! Shut-off valves in the by-pass line must always remain open
(remove handwheels).
G Attention ! When producing less than 0.5 bar differential head, the Qmax-
orifice should be installed at least 0.5 m after the discharge
nozzle to avoid repercussions on the pump; the Qmin-orifice has
to be mounted directly on the separator to avoid two-phase flow
in the by-pass line.
7.1.5 Automatic venting of the pumps
During standstill, the by-pass is used as a vent line. The pump should not be started unless it
is primed with liquid refrigerant. During first priming or re-starting, wait until all pump parts
have cooled down almost to the refrigerant temperature. When using non-return valves at the
pump discharge, note that the by-pass line must be installed before the non-return valve, to
permit automatic venting (Fig. 5).
G Attention ! No check valves should be used in the by-pass line.

STOPPING

7.1.6 Important changes in temperature and pressure may result in the generation of vapour
bubbles which might cause cavitation and a falling-off in capacity of HERMETIC pumps. The
max. admissible pressure drop depends on the available suction lift as well as on the velocity
of the liquid in the suction line. A fall of pressure always occurs when evaporators have been
stopped or when compressor power increases. Sensitive regulation of compressor helps to
avoid high pressure drops. The most favourable velocity of the liquid in the suction line
should be approx. 0,3-0,5 m/s. The max. permissible pressure drop velocity can be calculated
by the pump manufacturer.
Abb. 6
Influence of the operating temperature and the flow rate on the

max. permissible pressure drop velocity
7.1.7 Low suction heads or high flow rates may result in gas eddies in the suction vessel. This also
leads to a considerable decrease int the pump efficiency. Consequently baffle plates should
be mounted at the entry of the suction line or a raft should be used to cover the liquid surface.
7.1.8 To avoid vaporisation of the liquid by heat from the motor, HERMETIC pumps in refrigerating
plants can only be used up to a restricted maximum operating temperature (pls. see
Technical Specification).
7.1.9 When two or more pumps in parallel serve a common discharge line (Fig. 7), a separate
by-pass line must be provided for each pump unit. This is to remove the vapour which arises
during standstill of the pump. With this arrangement, the minimum flow for each pump is
assured and does not depend on the differential head. If one pump is used as a standby, non-
return valves have to be mounted in the discharge line to avoid back-flow from operating to
standby pump. The standby pump should be maintained full of liquid so as to be available for
operation immediately. The by-pass line enables a switch over from one pump to the other or
a connection of a second pump without operation of shut-off valves.
START-UP AND
STOPPING

Fig. 7
7.1.10 Great quantities of refrigerant oil must not be allowed to accumulate in the pump. At low
temperature the high viscosity might cause problems when starting the pump. If necessary,
the system must be provided with suitable oil separators.
7.1.11 The canned motor must be provided with a motor-protection breaker acc. to VDE 0660.
G Attention ! The pump should never be operated for excessive periods when
the stop valve in the discharge line is closed (excessive heating).
With decreasing discharge pressure, the flow rate and the power consumption of the pump increases.
To avoid motor overload, check power consumption of motor.
G Attention ! For trouble-free operation of HERMETIC pumps, the permissible

operating range as shown in the Technical Specification must be
maintained.
Consult factory if operating conditions are to be changed.
7.2 SLIDE BEARINGS
The hydrodynamic slide bearings are lubricated during operation by the pumped liquid itself, and in
certain cases by a medium used especially for this purpose. Please note the following points when
checking the bearings for wear:
1. The slide bearings must be checked once a year under normal operating conditions.
2. After the pump has been run dry or has cavitated, the slide bearings should be inspected as soon
as possible.
3. Vibrations, noise and increased power consumption under otherwise constant operating conditions
indicate that the bearings are worn (insufficient lubrication).
(For bearing clearances, please refer to the table in the Appendix)

7.3 DIRECTION OF ROTATION
G Attention ! The direction of rotation must correspond with the arrow on the
pump.
Wrong direction of rotation leads to damage.
Direction of rotation as seen from the inlet side: counter-clockwise (see also chapter 6.6)
Rotation check: If the HERMETIC pump does not reach the discharge head shown in the technical
specification after ensuring, e.g. by renewed start-up, that no air or gas is in the pump, then the unit is
running in the wrong direction of rotation. If so, reverse the power supply phases and check discharge
head.
All data required for proper pump operation can be seen from the "Technical Specification".

During the warranty period, the pump shall not be opened without our permission.
8.2 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Due to their design, HERMETIC pumps are practically maintenance-free. However, to ensure reliable
operation, the pump set must be checked for proper operation.
Please note the following points:
8.2.1 The pump should always run smoothly and without vibration. Loud noise or vibration
indicate malfunction.
8.2.2 The pump should never run dry or be operated for excessive periods when the stop valve in
the discharge line is closed.
8.2.3 For proper operation, the permissible flow rate and discharge head ranges as shown in Fig.
4 must be maintained. Minimum and maximum pump capacity or discharge head are listed
in the technical specifications, acceptance report and pump characteristics.
8.2.4 To prevent cavitation when boiling liquids are pumped, HERMETIC pumps require a
minimum suction head emin as follows:
emin (m) = NPSH pump (m) + suction line friction loss (m) + safety allowance (m), usually
0.5 m
(Please refer to HERMETIC information bulletin: "NPSH of Pump Units and Pumping
Systems")
8.2.5 The electrical data of the canned motor as listed in the technical specifications and on the
nameplate must be observed. Please note that power consumption at maximum flow rate
Qmax is normally not equal to, but less than the permissible nominal current value.
8.3 DISMANTLING THE PUMP
8.3.1 PREPARATIONS
Shutdown (see chapter „Start-up and Stopping“)
HERMETIC pumps should be dismantled and repaired only by qualified trained personnel using the
proper tools. The construction of the pump is shown by the sectional drawing provided at the end of

8.4 REASSEMBLY
After the HERMETIC pump has been dismantled, clean all parts and inspect for possible damage.
Defective parts must be replaced by original replacement parts. HERMETIC pumps are assembled in
the reverse order specified for dismantling. Ensure that designated parts are mounted in the same
position and in the same order. When installing new bearing bushes 545.1/2 and bearing sleeves
529.1/2, particular care must be taken that cylindrical pins 562.1-3 fit tightly and that groove and
indent are positioned correctly.
It is advisable to use new gaskets when re-assembling the pump / motor. The hexagon screw 906
must in all cases be secured with a tabwasher 931.1 which is in good condition.
In HERMETIC pumps with partial flow in an intermediate stage,
G
special attention must be paid that there is no hole drilled in the
Attention ! hexagon screw 906. The stage casing 108 must be installed such
that the vent hole ø 3 mm is placed on the top.
The impellers must be put in the original sequence, so that the
lateral hole in the motor shaft 819 coincides with the hole in the
impeller hub 230 and this hole is not covered up.
After assembly, check the pump for leaks (6 bar max. for compressed air or nitrogen).

5.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
pumps are driven electromagnetically by means of the "canned" motor. Due to their design, the
pumps are practically maintenance-free when installed and operated in accordance with these
instructions. To cool the motor and lubricate the slide bearings, and for hydraulic balancing of axial
thrust, part of the main pump flow is branched off through a self-cleaning filter and pumped to the
inlet chamber after flowing through the rotor.
5.2 DESIGN
HERMETIC pumps type CNF of horizontal design with axial suction inlet and radial discharge outlet
are manufactured either in single stage design, modular construction. Pump casing (volute casing)
and impellers are of the same design as used for standard chemical pumps in compliance with
DIN 24256/ISO 2858.
5.2.1 SHAFT BEARING
The shaft features two hydrodynamic slide bearings; these slide bearings are lubricated directly by the
pumping medium.
5.2.2 MOTOR
The canned motor which is a three-phase squirrel-cage motor differs from conventional motor design
by the "motor can" (stator can). The stator can seals off the rotor chamber, which is filled with liquid,
from the stator chamber, which is filled with air. The stator can protects the stator winding from
aggressive pumping media while providing effective magnetic transmission of power to the rotor.
Under higher system pressure, reinforcement rings in the self-supporting section of the stator can
between the stator plates and the casing cover provide additional support for the thin-walled stator
can. The stator can is designed as a sealing element, not as a pressure-bearing element.
Heat due to energy losses of the canned motor is transferred directly to the pumping medium.
5.2.2.1 PARTIAL MOTOR FLOW
In HERMETIC pumps, the partial motor flow is of special importance. It not only serves to dissipate
the heat due to energy losses of the motor, but is also required for lubrication of the slide bearings
and axial thrust balancing. HERMETIC pumps are equipped with a self-cleaning partial flow filter to
protect the slide bearings against soiling.
DESIGN AND FUNCTION

Page : 7
5.2.3 AXIAL THRUST BALANCING
During operation, axial thrust of HERMETIC pumps is hydraulically compensated.
5.2.4 FUNCTION
The pumped liquid flows through the suction chamber into the pump impellers and is then conveyed
to the discharge nozzle. The motor partial flow is diverted from the main flow by means of a partial
flow filter and is conveyed back to the discharge side via the rotor chamber and the hollow shaft.
The resulting hydraulic loss is compensated by an additional auxiliary impeller.
Fig. 2
5.2.5 MODE OF OPERATION
Because HERMETIC pumps are provided with slide bearings, they should preferably be operated
continuously. This results in the longest service life and minimum susceptibility to malfunction. Even
if the connected equipment does not require the pumped medium for certain periods, continuous
operation can be maintained by installing a by-pass line.
G Attention ! Do not constantly switch from the operating to the stand-by pump!
5.2.6 ASSEMBLY AND TRIAL OPERATION
HERMETIC pumps are fully assembled by HERMETIC-Pumpen GmbH and subject to trial operation,
compression test and inspection for leaks.
DESIGN AND FUNCTION

Page : 8
5.2.7 NAMEPLATE
All HERMETIC pumps are equipped with a nameplate (attached to the canned motor) which specifies
type and serial number (Equipmentnumber.). The nameplate also lists the specifications of motor and
pump, and maximum permissible values for operating pressure and operating temperature.
Please always include the equipmentnumber in inquiries and replacement part orders. The
equipmentnumber is also stamped on the circumference of the suction flange.
INSTALLATION
Page : 9
Contents : Page:

6.3 Installation of complete pump 9
6.7 Monitoring equipement 12
Prior to installation, HERMETIC pumps must be checked for any transit damage.
If two or more similar pumps are delivered, use only one pump to make pipework connections if
possible. Remove the covers of the flanges only directly before installing in the cleaned pipelines.
Then turn the rotor through the suction side inlet by means of a socket spanner for several times and
check it for easy running.
We cannot be held liable for damage due to improper installation.
6.2 PRE-REQUISITES FOR INSTALLATION
Ensure sufficient space is available for installation. Please refer to the dimensional drawing for
dimensions.
6.3 INSTALLATION OF THE COMPLETE PUMP SET
HERMETIC pumps normally operate with very low vibration levels. Reinforced foundations or
baseplates are not necessary for smaller outputs (up to 20 kW).
HERMETIC pumps must be carefully aligned horizontally, placing strips of sheet metal under the
base if necessary.
6.4 GENERAL INFORMATION ON PIPING
The suction and discharge line must be laid such that the permissible flange loads are not exceeded.
The pump must not be regarded as an anchor point for pipelines.
Use pipework in compliance with recognised technical standards and suitable for the specific
operating conditions. Ensure that permissible loads and torques are not exceeded.
All pipework must be flushed thoroughly in order to prevent mill scale, welding shot, and other foreign
matter from getting into the HERMETIC pump. If necessary, a suitable strainer must be mounted in
the suction line during the start-up period. Pressure gauges ahead of the suction port and downstream
of the discharge port facilitate discharge head monitoring.
6.5 SUCTION LINE
Refrigerants are liquefied gases which are boiling. To avoid cavitation, a minimum suction head
(eMin) is required (pls. see HERMETIC information bulletin: "NPSH of Pump Units and Pumping
Systems"). As refrigeration plants often have only very low suction heads, HERMETIC refrigerant
pumps feature very low NPSH requirements. However, these machines can only be properly utilised
when suction line losses are kept to a minimum.
The minimum suction head required is calculated acc. to the following formula:
INSTALLATION
Page : 10
emin (m) = NPSH req. (m) + suction line friction loss (m) + safety allowance (m)*
* usually 0,5m
The sizing and design of the suction line is of great importance. To ensure trouble-free operation
of the pumps, each pump should be provided with a separate suction line. If two pumps are operated
in parallel, one suction line will be sufficient (on condition that one pump is a stand-by pump).
The suction line should be short, well insulated and fitted with a steady slope to the pump.
The recommended flow rate in the suction line should be max. 0.3-0,5 m/sec. to give optimum
operating conditions.
The suction line must lead as directly as possible to the separator, i.e. without horizontal lines, to
ensure that the gas evolving within the suction line or pump can flow to the separator in reverse to the
liquid flow (Fig. 3).
Baffle plates should be installed at the accumulator outlet or before pump suction line to eliminate
vortex formation.
It is recommended to install a ball valve with free passage in the suction line. A suction filter is not
advisable. To avoid particles damaging the pump slide bearings, HERMETIC refrigerant pumps
incorporate an integral self-cleaning filter.

6.6 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The regulations as stipulated by VDE 0100 and VDE 0165 must be observed.
Connecting the phases L1 - L2 - L3 to terminals U1 - V1 - W1 ensures correct direction of rotation,
which is, as seen from the inlet side of the pumps, counter-clockwise. Please note the directional
arrow of the pump.
G
HERMETIC pumps should never be allowed to run dry to
Attention ! determine the direction of rotation of the pump!
The canned motor must be provided with a motor-protection breaker acc. to VDE 0660. The
protection breaker must be set to the intensity of current specified on the nameplate.
Canned motors operate in mode S1 (continuous operation). In normal operation (nominal voltage,
nominal cooling, nominal temperature of pumping medium), the permissible number of switching
actuations is approx. 6 starts/hour, which should be distributed as evenly as possible to prevent
overheating of the motor windings.
6.7 MONITORING DEVICES
Pressure gauges ahead of the suction port and downstream of the discharge port facilitate discharge
head monitoring.
6.7.1 LOAD REGULATOR
A load regulator can be installed to avoid motor under or overload.
6.7.2 CONSTANT FLOW REGULATOR
HERMETIC can supply a constant flow regulator to ensure that the max. permissible flow rate is not
exceeded. It is used instead of a Qmax-orifice but cannot be compared with it.
The constant flow regulator provides a steady rate of flow to the system when higher discharge
pressures at higher flow rates are necessary.

7.1 INITIAL OPERATION
G Attention ! HERMETIC pumps should never run dry.

Cavitation is not permissible.
7.1.1 For fully satisfactory operation, HERMETIC pumps must be primed and vented properly.
When installed acc. to Fig. 5, the pump is vented via the Qmin bypass line, by fully opening
the pump suction and bypass line shut-off valves.
7.1.2 The pump is not to be started unless it is primed with liquid refrigerant. During first priming,
wait until all pump parts have cooled down almost to the refirgerant temperature.
G Attention ! As a special-design unit for handling liquefied gases, the pump is

suitable for operation up to a certain max. temperature only, as
shown in the Technical Specification.
7.1.3 For starting, slightly open the shut-off valve in the pump discharge line.
7.1.4 For trouble-free HERMETIC refrigerant pump operation, the permissible operating range must
be maintained (pls. see Fig. 4). Minimum flow is required for:
a) sufficient cooling of canned motor
b) prevention of vaporising inside the pump (dry-running of slide bearings)
c) avoidance of cavitation in the low range of the pump
Maximum flow is limited by:

a) motor power rating
b) available suction head; NPSHreq. increases with increasing flow
c) need to maintain sufficient pressure in the motor and to avoid vaporisation of the liquid

START-UP AND
STOPPING
Page : 14
Maintaining the permissible operating range is ensured by the use of a by-pass or suitable Qmin-
and Qmax-orifices (pls. see Fig. 5). Instead of the Qmax-orifice, a differential pressure control can
be used which shuts down the pump when the discharge head becomes lower than the minimum
permissible discharge head (PdS). Switch-off delay: max. 10 sec.
G Attention ! Shut-off valves in the by-pass line must always remain open
(remove handwheels).
G Attention ! When producing less than 0.5 bar differential head, the Qmax-
orifice should be installed at least 0.5 m after the discharge
nozzle to avoid repercussions on the pump; the Qmin-orifice has
to be mounted directly on the separator to avoid two-phase flow
in the by-pass line.
7.1.5 Automatic venting of the pumps
During standstill, the by-pass is used as a vent line. The pump should not be started unless it
is primed with liquid refrigerant. During first priming or re-starting, wait until all pump parts
have cooled down almost to the refrigerant temperature. When using non-return valves at the
pump discharge, note that the by-pass line must be installed before the non-return valve, to
permit automatic venting (Fig. 5).
G Attention ! No check valves should be used in the by-pass line.

7.1.6 Important changes in temperature and pressure may result in the generation of vapour
bubbles which might cause cavitation and a falling-off in capacity of HERMETIC pumps. The
max. admissible pressure drop depends on the available suction lift as well as on the velocity
of the liquid in the suction line. A fall of pressure always occurs when evaporators have been
stopped or when compressor power increases. Sensitive regulation of compressor helps to
avoid high pressure drops. The most favourable velocity of the liquid in the suction line
should be approx. 0,3-0,5 m/s. The max. permissible pressure drop velocity can be calculated
by the pump manufacturer.
Abb. 6
Influence of the operating temperature and the flow rate on the

max. permissible pressure drop velocity
7.1.7 Low suction heads or high flow rates may result in gas eddies in the suction vessel. This also
leads to a considerable decrease int the pump efficiency. Consequently baffle plates should
be mounted at the entry of the suction line or a raft should be used to cover the liquid surface.
7.1.8 To avoid vaporisation of the liquid by heat from the motor, HERMETIC pumps in refrigerating
plants can only be used up to a restricted maximum operating temperature (pls. see
Technical Specification).
7.1.9 When two or more pumps in parallel serve a common discharge line (Fig. 7), a separate
by-pass line must be provided for each pump unit. This is to remove the vapour which arises
during standstill of the pump. With this arrangement, the minimum flow for each pump is
assured and does not depend on the differential head. If one pump is used as a standby, non-
return valves have to be mounted in the discharge line to avoid back-flow from operating to
standby pump. The standby pump should be maintained full of liquid so as to be available for
operation immediately. The by-pass line enables a switch over from one pump to the other or
a connection of a second pump without operation of shut-off valves.

7.1.10 Great quantities of refrigerant oil must not be allowed to accumulate in the pump. At low
temperature the high viscosity might cause problems when starting the pump. If necessary,
the system must be provided with suitable oil separators.
7.1.11 The canned motor must be provided with a motor-protection breaker acc. to VDE 0660.
G Attention ! The pump should never be operated for excessive periods when
the stop valve in the discharge line is closed (excessive heating).
With decreasing discharge pressure, the flow rate and the power consumption of the pump increases.
To avoid motor overload, check power consumption of motor.
G Attention ! For trouble-free operation of HERMETIC pumps, the permissible

operating range as shown in the Technical Specification must be
maintained.
Consult factory if operating conditions are to be changed.
7.2 SLIDE BEARINGS
The hydrodynamic slide bearings are lubricated during operation by the pumped liquid itself, and in
certain cases by a medium used especially for this purpose. Please note the following points when
checking the bearings for wear:
1. The slide bearings must be checked once a year under normal operating conditions.
2. After the pump has been run dry or has cavitated, the slide bearings should be inspected as soon
as possible.
3. Vibrations, noise and increased power consumption under otherwise constant operating conditions
indicate that the bearings are worn (insufficient lubrication).
(For bearing clearances, please refer to the table in the Appendix)

7.3 DIRECTION OF ROTATION
G Attention ! The direction of rotation must correspond with the arrow on the
pump.
Wrong direction of rotation leads to damage.
Direction of rotation as seen from the inlet side: counter-clockwise (see also chapter 6.6)
Rotation check: If the HERMETIC pump does not reach the discharge head shown in the technical
specification after ensuring, e.g. by renewed start-up, that no air or gas is in the pump, then the unit is
running in the wrong direction of rotation. If so, reverse the power supply phases and check discharge
head.
All data required for proper pump operation can be seen from the "Technical Specification".

During the warranty period, the pump shall not be opened without our permission.
8.2 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Due to their design, HERMETIC pumps are practically maintenance-free. However, to ensure reliable
operation, the pump set must be checked for proper operation.
Please note the following points:
8.2.1 The pump should always run smoothly and without vibration. Loud noise or vibration
indicate malfunction.
8.2.2 The pump should never run dry or be operated for excessive periods when the stop valve in
the discharge line is closed.
8.2.3 For proper operation, the permissible flow rate and discharge head ranges as shown in Fig.
4 must be maintained. Minimum and maximum pump capacity or discharge head are listed
in the technical specifications, acceptance report and pump characteristics.
8.2.4 To prevent cavitation when boiling liquids are pumped, HERMETIC pumps require a
minimum suction head emin as follows:
emin (m) = NPSH pump (m) + suction line friction loss (m) + safety allowance (m), usually
0.5 m
(Please refer to HERMETIC information bulletin: "NPSH of Pump Units and Pumping
Systems")
8.2.5 The electrical data of the canned motor as listed in the technical specifications and on the
nameplate must be observed. Please note that power consumption at maximum flow rate
Qmax is normally not equal to, but less than the permissible nominal current value.
8.3 DISMANTLING THE PUMP
8.3.1 PREPARATIONS

■ Bearings
Slide bearings radially guide the common pump and rotor shaft.
This guiding is used during the starting phase and the stopping
phase, since the guiding function is hydrodynamically taken
over by the rotor after the nominal speed of the canned motor
has been reached. The axial thrust of our pumps is hydraulically
balanced.

❚ Low NPSH values
❚ Pump built in two to five stages to suit the application
❚ Able to pump 14 m3/h with a suction head on only 1,0 m
❚ Suitable for pumping ammonia, freons and other refrigerants
❚ The machines were examined by several classification compa-

The design enables: phase, since the guiding function is hydrodynamically taken

Maintenance
Figure 6
There is no need for regular maintenance of the constant flow
regulator and no readjustment is required. Spare cartridge
assemblies may be ordered when required.
■ Orifice Plates
It is possible to protect a HERMETIC-pump from extreme flow
conditions by installing 2 orifice plates. The Q min orifice guaran-
tees the necessary flow for the motor cooling and the bearing
lubrication. It also allows correct venting of the pump at stand-
still. The Q max orifice ensures that the minimum differential
pressure is maintained in the rotor space. This is necessary for
the stabilization of the hydraulic axial thrust compensation and
for the avoidance of the partial current vaporization. You can
see the installation of the orifices in figure 1 on page 3.
