Total lift or backpressure (static head plus pressure in the return system) must be below the motive fluid inlet pressure to allow capacity to be achieved:- Height (H) in metres x 0.0981 plus pressure (bar g) in return line, plus downstream piping friction pressure drop in bar calculated at a flowrate of the lesser of six times the actual condensate rate or 30 000 litres/h. Recommended filling head above the pump 0.3 m Minimum filling head required 0.15 m (reduced capacity) Standard pump operates with liquids of specific gravity: 1 down to 0.8 DN80 x 50 DN50 DN40 and DN25 Pump discharge per cycle 19.3 litres 12.8 litres 7 litres Steam consumption 20 kg/h maximum 20 kg/h maximum 16 kg/h maximum Air consumption (Free air) 5.6 dm 3 /s maximum 5.6 dm 3 /s maximum 4.4 dm 3 /s maximum Temperature limits (Ambient ) -10 ° C to 200 ° C -10 ° C to 200 ° C -10 ° C to 200 ° C

Warning 1 - Consideration of Condensate Temperature Increase In situations where the temperature of the motive steam is considerably higher than that of the condensate, it is important that the design of the system located downstream of the pump adequately addresses this temperature difference.

Warning 2 - Control of Motive Pressure and Risk Assessment It is essential to implement reliable and effective control of the motive pressure supplied to the pump. This control is necessary to ensure that the temperatures within the system do not exceed the maximum allowable temperature limits specified for the equipment. It is the responsibility of the user to conduct an appropriate level of risk assessment for the application. This assessment should ensure that all necessary precautions are in place and that the system operates within safe parameters at all times.
