3.7 Filtration
(10µm absolute [ß10 ≥ 5000])
Requirements are specified in appendix 1, Data
sheet and in appendix 2, Instruction.
Danfoss recommends not to build a filter bypass
function or to use filters with an integrated
bypass. If the above recommendation is not
followed the warranty for the pump will
automatically become void.
It should be possible to monitor the condition of
the filter via the differential/delta pressure across
the filter.
Using insufficient filtration or a filter bypass
can cause a failure or decreased service life of
the pump.
3.8 Properties of water
It is recommended NOT to use the pumps in feed
water concentrations higher than 50,000 ppm
TDS without consulting your local Danfoss pump
distributor.
3.9 Air bubbles
Large bubbles in a pressurised RO system can
result in damage to piping, equipment and the
pump.
All air must be bleeded from both the lowpressure and high-pressure side before the RO
system is pressurised. Special consideration
should be given in order to minimize air bubbles
in the feed flow. Air bubbles can cause cavitation.
3.10 Chemicals
The pump should not be exposed to any
chemicals as it can result in damage to piping,
equipment and internal parts in the pump.

until the high-pressure pump is bleeded.
5.17 Commissioning
• Close all the bleeding and draining plugs.
• Open the pressure valve at the brine site.
• Switch the safety circuit breaker on for both
motor(s) and VFD(s).
• Start the feed pump.
• Start the high-pressure pump.
• If a VFD or a soft starter is used, a ramp up
time of minimum 10 seconds is required to
avoid damage of the pump.
• Monitor the inlet and outlet pressure of the
high-pressure pump and look for leakages.
• Check the function of the pressure
indicators by slowly closing the valves. The
pump unit should stop when the minimum
inlet pressure and maximum outlet
pressure has been reached.
• Adjust the pressures to the specified inlet
and outlet pressure for the system and let
the pump unit run until the electric motor
and pump temperature is stable.
• If the system is running within the system
design limits, the system is released for
operation.
5.18 Check the filter condition
Evaluate contamination found in filter, replace
filter elements, if necessary.
5.16 Verify direction of rotation
The direction of rotation must always follow the
arrow. The arrow is placed on the pump or pump
unit.
Check the direction of rotation before mounting
the pump.
Unlock the safety circuit breaker. Start the motor
for 1 second and observe the direction of
rotation either looking at the fan of the motor or
the coupling through the inspection hole in the
bell housings (not available on all bell housings).
If the motor is turning the wrong direction,
switch two phases in the connection box of the

failure :
If water is leaking into the electric motor; it can
cause electric shock, fire, short circuit or even
death. When mounting the pump vertically
always mount the motor above the pump to
avoid water leaking into the electric motor.
8.4 Electrical failure
If the wiring of the electric motor is incorrect or
the ground connection is missing, it can cause
electric shock, burn damages, fire or even death.
• The pump is running dry.
• The inlet pressure is too high.
• The inlet pressure is too low.
• The temperature of the fluid is too high.
• The ambient temperature is too high.
• The pump is running against a blocked
port/closed manual valve.
• The pump is operating at a pressure out of
specification.
• The pump is running with a non-specified/
approved fluid.
• The pump is running in the wrong
direction.
• The filtration is insufficient.
• The pump is not being serviced according
to Danfoss specifications (end of life).
• There is excessive mechanical load on the
shaft coupling and piping.
8.3 Mechanical failure
If the pump is running dry, the temperature will
quickly increase which can cause burns.
If there is any leakage at start-up or during
operation, a high-pressure jet can cause eye or
skin damage.
Leakage can result in flooding, which can cause
slipping, tripping or falling.
If a VFD is used and wrongly programmed, it can
damage the pump and lead to high temperatures or other dangers.
All electrical installation must be carried out by
authorized personnel in accordance with
EN60204-1 and/or local regulations.
8.5 Responsibility
Danfoss takes no responsibility for any abnormal
injuries, risks or damages that could arise caused
by abnormal conditions, vibrations, corrosion,
abrasives, foreign objects or excessive temperatures and shall not be liable for any consequential or incidental damages.
8.6 Scrapping criteria
Whether the pump can be repaired or need to be
scrapped, depends on in which conditions the
internal parts are, or how damaged the whole
unit is. Please use appendix 6, Trouble shooting
guide as guideline or send the pump to Danfoss
headquarter in Denmark for evaluation.
For other observations or troubles, please see
appendix 7, Right and Wrong which gives good
advises regarding design, installation, wiring and
troubleshooting.
In case the pump needs to be scrapped, please
follow your local environmental rules.

Data sheet | APP 0.6-46 / APP (W) 5.1-10.2 pumps
1. Introduction
This data sheet is valid for APP pumps both non
ATEX and ATEX certified. ATEX certified pumps
are indicated by Ex in the type designation example APP 0.6 Ex.
The Danfoss range of APP high-pressure pumps
is designed according to EN 809 for use in RO
applications with low viscosity and corrosive
fluids such as:
Danfoss APP pumps are positive displacement
pumps with axial pistons that move a fixed
amount of water in each cycle. Flow is proportional to the number of input shaft revolutions
(rpm). Unlike centrifugal pumps, they produce
the same flow at a given speed no matter what
the discharge pressure.
Below sectional drawing is an example of an
APP pump. The sectional drawing for the specific
pump sizes are to be found in the pump
instruction.
2. Benefits
• Zero risk of lubricant contamination:
- Oil lubricants are replaced with the pumped medium, water, so there is no
contamination risk from the pump.
• Low maintenance costs:
- Efficient design and all-stainless steel
construction ensure exceptionally long
life. When Danfoss specifications are
met, service intervals of 8,000 hours can
be expected. Service is easy, and can be
carried out on-site due to the simple
design and few parts.
• Low energy costs:
- The highly efficient axial piston design
provides the lowest energy
consumption of any comparable pump
on the market.
• Easy installation:
- The most compact and lightest design
available.
- The pump can be installed vertically
and horizontally.
- No pulsation dampeners necessary due
to extremely low pressure pulsation.

Furthermore, these diagrams shows that the
flow can be changed by changing the rotation
speed of the pump. The flow/rpm ratio is
constant, and the “required” flow can be
obtained by changing the rotation speed to a
corresponding value. Thus, the required rpm
can be determined as:

9.1 Filtration
Proper filtration is crucial for the performance.
maintenance and warranty of your pump.
Protect your pump, and the application in which
it is installed, and by always ensuring that all
filtration specifications are met, and by always
changing filter cartridges according to schedule.
Since water has very low vicosity, Danfoss APP
pumps have been designed with very narrow
clearances in order to control internal leakage
rates and improve component performance.
To minimize wear on the pump, it is therefore
essential to filter inlet water properly.
The main filter must have a filtration efficiency
of 99.98% at 10 μm. We strongly recommend
that you always use precision depth filter
cartridges rated 10μm abs. ß10≥5000.
Please note that we do not recommend bag
filters or string-wound filter cartridges, which
typically have only 50% filtration efficiency. This
means that out of the 100,000 particles that
enter such filters, 50,000 particles pass right
through; compare this to precision depth filters
that are 99.98% efficient, and only allow 20 of the
same 100,000 particles to pass through.
For more information on the importance of
proper filtration, including explanation of
filtration principles, definitions and guidance on
how to select the right filter for your pump,
please consult our Filtration information and
specifications (Danfoss document number
521B1009).
Noise
Since the pump unit is typical mounted on a
frame or bell housing the overall noise level can
only be determined for a complete system. To
minimize vibrations and noise throughout the
system, it is therefore very important to mount
the pump unit correctly on a frame with
anti-vibration-dampeners, and to use flexible
hoses rather than metal pipes where possible.
The noise level is influenced by:
• Pump speed:
High rpm generates more fluid/structure
borne pulsations/vibrations than low rpm,
because of higher frequency.
• Discharge pressure:
High pressure generates more noise than
low pressure.
• Pump mounting:
Rigid mounting generates more noise than
flexible mounting, because of structureborne vibrations. Be sure to use dampers
when mounting.
• Connections to pump:
Pipes connected directly to the pump make
more noise than flexible hoses, because of
structure-borne vibrations.
• Variable frequency drives (VFD):
Motors regulated by VFDs can produce
more noise if the VFD does not have the
right settings.
9.2 RO system with direct supply:
Inlet line:
a) Dimension the inlet line to obtain minimum pressure loss (large flow, minimum pipe length, minimum number
of b ends/connections, and fit tings with low
or no pressure losses). If relevant, please
consult “Parallel coupled pumps and iSaves” (180R93549)
Inlet filter:
b) Install an inlet filter (1) in front of the APP
pump (2). Please consult section 9.1,
“Filtration” for guidance on how to select
the right filter. Thoroughly clean pipes and
flush system prior to start-up.
Low pressure relief valve:
c) Install a low pressure relief valve (9) in order
to avoid system or pump damage in case
the pump stops momentarily or is spinning
backwards.
Monitoring pressure switch:
d) Install a monitoring pressure switch (3)
between the filter (1) and the pump inlet.
Set the minimum inlet pressure according
to specifications described in item 4 about
technical data. If the inlet pressure is lower
than the minimum pressure set, the
monitoring pressure switch must prevent
the pump from starting or from running.
Hoses:
e) Use flexible hoses (4) to minimize vibrations and noise. Please consult the
Danfoss Hoses and hose fittings data sheet (521B0909) for guidance.
Inlet pressure:
f) In order to eliminate the risk of cavitation
and other pump damage, pump inlet pressure must always be maintained according to specifications described in
item 4 about technical data.
Flushing valve:
g) For easy system filling and flushing, an integrated flushing valve (6) is in
the APP pump (except APP (W) 5.1-10.2).
Non-return valve:
h) A non-return valve (7) in outlet can be
installed in order to avoid backspin of the
pump. The volume of water in the
membrane vessel works as an accumulator
and will send flow backwards in case of the
pump stops momentarily.

27
Data sheet | APP 0.6-46 / APP (W) 5.1-10.2 pumps
High pressure safety or relief valve:
i) As the Danfoss APP pump begins to create
pressure and flow immediately after
start-up and regardless of any counter
pressure, a safey or pressure relief valve (8)
should be installed after the non-return
valve to prevent system damage and to
avoid high pressure peaks.
Note: If a non-return valve is mounted in the inlet
line, a low-pressure relief valve is also required
between the non-return valve and
pump as protection against high-pressure peaks.

13. Service
Warranty
Danfoss APP pumps are designed for long
operation, low maintenance and reduced
lifecycle costs.
Provided that the pump has been running
according to the Danfoss specifications, Danfoss
guarantees 8,000 hours service-free operation,
however, max. 18 months from date of
production.
If Danfoss recommendations concerning
system-design are not followed, it will strongly
influence the life of the APP pumps.
Other factors that affect pump performance and
lifetime include:
- Running the pump at speed outside
specifications.
- Supplying the pump with water at
temperature higher than recommended.
- Running the pump at inlet pressure outside
specifications.
- Running the pump at outlet pressure
outside the specifications.
Pump shutdown:
The APP pumps are made of Duplex/Super
Duplex materials with excellent corrosion
properties. It is, however, always recommended
to flush the pump with freshwater when the
system is shut down.
When stopping the pump for more than 1 day
flush the pump with permeate by rotating the
pump for 10 sec. Flushing through the flushing
valve of the pump without rotating the pump is
not enough for cleaning the inside of the pump.
The pump can be flushed with biocide like the
membranes. The biocide must be compatible
with the materials used in our pumps.
Repair assistance
In case of irregular function of the APP pump,
please contact Danfoss High Pressure Pumps.
Maintenance
Periodic inspections are required to ensure worn
parts (if any), are replaced in due time. Operational conditions such as water quality should be
taken into consideration when determining the
frequency of the inspections. Danfoss recommends yearly inspections.
It is recommended to order the purposedesigned tool kit.

2.4 General guidelines for calculation of
pressure losses
In order to avoid the risk of cavitation, the inlet
pressure at the pump must be in accordance
with the specifications mentioned in Data
sheet (521B1331).
In smooth pipes and hoses
In smooth pipes and hoses
In 90° bends
The inlet line connection must be properly
tightened, as possible entrance of air will cause
cavitation.
The suction conditions can be optimized
according to below guidelines.

2.5 General comments on
Filtration
A good filtration is vital to ensure a long and
trouble free life of the pump.
Water tank
Must be made of corrosion-proof material such
as stainless steel or plastic and must be sealed to
prevent entrance of impurities from the environ-
When selecting a filter or strainer, please note
ment.
that filter materials should be compatible with
water, i.e. should neither corrode or dissolve. Also
be aware of the electrochemical series of the
applied materials.
Main filter must have a fineness of 10 μm abs.
ß10 ≥ 5000. The pressure loss across the filter
should be monitored.
180R9267 | AQ291128576527en-000901 IOM APP 1.5-3.5 Pumps | 12.2021
Automatic pressure equalization between tank
and surroundings must be ensured.
Inlet from the water supply and inlet to the
pump should be placed in opposite ends of the
tank to calm and deaerate the water, and to
ensure optimum opportunity for particles to
settle.
Pump suction line should be placed relatively
high above the tank bottom in order to prevent
settled particles from being led into the pump.
We recommend a separation (“wall”) to separate
the inlet from the outlet end of the tank.
Monitoring
It is recommended to continuously monitor the
following conditions:
• Water level in the tank
• Filter contamination
• Pressure (inlet- and outlet side of the
pump)

The pump can be mounted/oriented in any
horizontal direction. Vertically only with the shaft
pointing upwards.
3.4 Protection from too high pressures
The pump should be protected against too high
pressure by means of a pressure relief valve or a
bypass/unloading valve placed on the pressure
side.
P Pressure
T Tank
The valve should be placed as close to the pump
as possible. The opening characteristics of the
valve must not result in peak pressures higher
than 200 barg (2900 psig).
The valve outlet must not be connected
directly to the pump suction line. It shall be
connected directly to the tank.

Before start-up, loosen the top bleeding plug “C”.
When water appears from the bleeding plug,
retighten the plug. With its inlet line connected
to the water supply or the tank, the pump is now
started with open outlet port.
At the initial start of the system, the pump
should be run without pressure for about
5 minutes, thus removing possible impurities
from pipes, hoses, etc. However, the system
should be flushed before start-up – without the
connected pump.
WARNING:
Make sure that the direction of rotation of the
electric motor corresponds to the direction of
rotation of the pump. Otherwise the pump will
be damaged if a check valve is placed between
pump and tank.

Min. -40° F to max. +158° F
5.2 Pressure
The inlet pressure must be min. 0.5 barg
(7.25 psig) and max. 5 barg (72.5 psig). At lower
pressures the pump will cavitate, resulting in
damage to the pump.
Max. pressure on the pump’s outlet line should
be limited at 80 barg (1160 psig) continuously.
Short-term pressure peaks (e.g. in connection
with closing of a valve) of up to 100 barg
(1450 psig) are acceptable.
NB:
The pump unit should include a pressure
gauge on the high pressure side.
5.3 Dry running
When running, the pump must always be
connected to the water supply in order to avoid
damage if it should run dry.
In systems with water tank it is recommended to
build in a level gauge in the tank to avoid the risk
of running dry.
5.4 Disconnection
If the inlet line is disconnected from the water
supply, the pump will be emptied of water
through the disconnected inlet line.
When preparing the pump for long-term storage
or for temperatures below the freezing point,
flush the pump with an anti-freeze medium type
monopropylene glycol to prevent internal
corrosion or frost in the pump.
For further information on anti-freeze media,
please contact Danfoss High Pressure Pumps.
Recommended procedure:
5.5.1 Open-ended systems with water supply
from tank
1. Empty the tank of water and empty the
pump housing through the lower bleeding
plug. When the pump is empty, retighten
the plug.
2. Through the upper bleeding plug, fill the
pump housing with anti-freeze medium.
Pour anti-freeze medium into the tank.
Connect a hose to the outlet of the pump
and lead the other end of the hose back to
tank.
3. Quickly start and stop the pump. Make sure
that the pump does not run dry. The pump
is now protected against internal corrosion
and frost.

5.5.2 Open-ended systems with direct water
supply
1. Disconnect the water supply to the pump.
2. Through the lower bleeding plug, empty
the pump housing of water and close it
again.
3. Connect the pump to a tank of e.g. 25 litre
(6 gal.) of anti-freeze additive. Connect a
hose to the inlet port of the pump and via
another hose return the flow from the
outlet port to the tank with anti-freeze
additives.
4. Quickly start and stop the pump. Make sure
that the pump does not run dry. The pump
is now protected against internal corrosion
and frost.
Storage:
Storage of the pump that have been in operation:
For shorter periods of storage flush the pump
with permeate rotating the pump for 10 sec.
empty permeate and store.
For long term storage (more than 2 months)
Danfoss recommends servicing the product and
clean any biological growth of the surfaces. Store
the pump dry without water inside.
6. Service
6.1 Warranty
Danfoss APP pumps are designed for long
operation, low maintenance and reduced
lifecycle costs.
Provided that the pump has been running
according to the Danfoss specifications, Danfoss
guarantees 8,000 hours service-free operation,
however, max. 18 months from date of production. If Danfoss recommendations concerning
system-design are not followed, it will stongly
influence the life of the APP pumps.
6.2 Maintenance
After 8,000 hours of operation, it is recommended to inspect the pump and change any
worn parts, e.g. pistons.
This is done in order to prevent a potential
breakdown on the pump. If the parts are not
replaced, more frequent inspection is recommended according to our guidelines.
Pump shutdown:
The APP pumps are made of Duplex/Super
Duplex materials with excellent corrosion
properties. It is however, always recommended
to flush the pump with fresh water when the
system is shut down.
When stopping the pump for more than 1 day,
flush the pump with permeate by rotating the
pump for 10 sec. Flushing through the flushing
valve of the pump without rotating the pump is
not enough for cleaning the inside of the pump.
The pump can be flushed with biocide like the
membranes. The biocide must be compatible
with the materials used in our pump (materials
can be found in the parts list in the Operating
Guide)

This manual concerns the following types of standard
induction motors from Hoyer:
HMA3, HMC3, HMA2, HMC2, HMD, HMT, MS, Y2E1, Y2E2, YDT
These motors are manufactured in accordance with IEC/EN
60034-4 and IEC/EN 60072.
Motors are rated for the ambient temperature range -20°C to
+40°C and site altitudes ≤1000 m above sea level.
Low-voltage motors are components for installation in
machinery. They are CE marked according to the Low Voltage
Directive 2014/35/EU.
Motors not fulfilling the IE3 efficiency level must be equipped
with a variable speed drive when used in EU.
Transport and storage
Check the motor for external damage immediately upon
receipt and, if found, inform the forwarding agent right away.
Check all rating plate data, and compare it with the
requirement of the motor.
Turn the shaft by hand to check free rotation, remove
transport locking if used.
Transport locking must be used again for internal transport
also. It is also important that transport locking is used when
motors are transported mounted on equipment.
All motors should be stored indoors, in dry, vibration- and
dust-free conditions.
Lifting eyebolts must be tightened before use. Damaged
eyebolts must not be used, check before use. Lifting eyes at
motor must not be used to lift the motor when it is attached
to other equipment.
Before commissioning, measure the insulation impedance. If
values are ≤ 10MΩ at 25°C, the winding must be oven dried.
The insulation resistance reference is halved for each 20°C
rise in motor temperature.
It is recommended that shafts are rotated periodically by
hand to prevent grease migration.
etc.) using suitable tools, never hit the drive components
with a hammer as this will cause damage to the bearing.
The motor are balancing with half key, ensure that the drive
components are also the same.
Correct alignment is essential to avoid bearing, vibration and
shaft failure.
Use appropriate methods for alignment.
Re-check the alignment after the final tightening of the bolts
or studs.
Check that drain holes and plugs face downwards. We
recommend opening the drain hole for motors placed
outdoors and not running 24 hours / day, so that the motor
can breathe, thus ensuring a dry motor.
Electrical connection
Work is only permitted to be carried out by qualified
specialists and must to be carried out in accordance with
local regulations.
Before work commences, ensure that all power is switched
off and cannot be switched on again. This also applies to the
auxiliary power circuits, e.g. anti-condense heaters.
Check that supply voltage and frequency are the same as
rated data.
Motors can be used with a supply deviation of ± 5% voltage
and ± 2% frequency, according to IEC60034-1.
Connection diagrams for main supply and accessory as PTC
or heater are located inside the terminal box.
Connections must be made in such a way as to ensure that
a permanently safe electrical connection is maintained, both
for the main supply and the earth connection.
We recommend that crimped connections are made in
accordance with IEC 60352-2.

At 60Hz the time will be reduced by app. 20%.
Data for vertically mounted motors are half of the above
values.
The table values are based on an ambient temperature of
25°C. The values must be halved for every 15K increase in
bearing temperature.
Higher speed operations, e.g. frequency converter drive will
require shorter greasing intervals. Typically, doubling the
speed will reduce the values by 50%.

1.1 Dry running
(no water supply to the pump)
1.2 Pump reversing
(electric motor is running the wrong direction,
i.e. counter-clockwise)
If no water comes out of the pump:
1.1.1 Check that inlet valve is open.
1.1.2 Check that booster pump is running.
1.2.1 Change the phase on the electric motor to
make it run clockwise.
WARNING:
- The pump must not run without water for
more than a few seconds.
- If the pump takes in water from the high-
pressure outlet line, it builds up pressure in
pump housing and will eventually break
down.
Mount a low pressure switch in front of the
pump and check its set point/ function. The low
pressure switch ensures that the pump does
not start until the inlet pressure has reachedminimum inlet pressure (see User manual).

1.4.4 Check that the electrical installation is
correctly sized.
1.4.5 Contact Danfoss Sales office for guidelines
in how to troubleshoot internal pump
parts.
1.5.1 Ensure that the air gap between the two
coupling parts is min 5 mm. It should
always be possible to move the plastic part
on the coupling at least 3 mm.
If motor-type relay or the electrical fuse is
blown, check that electric motor is sized
correctly.
To ensure easy mounting of the flexible
coupling without using tools, the tolerances
must be dimensioned accordingly.
WARNING:
Any axial and/or radial loads on the shaft
must be avoided. Any axial or radial load will
cause breakdown.

2. Reduced flow/reduced pressure
Cause RemedyComments
2.1 Wear on pump
Large internal leakage due to:
2.1.1 Dismantle the pump.
2.1.2 Check valve plate.
Valve plate has marks/scratches on the
surface facing the port plate. Minor wear
on valve plate can cause large internal
leakage. See Index 6.1.
2.1.3 Check port plate.
Port plate has marks/scratches on the
surface facing the valve plate. Minor wear
on port plate can cause large internal
leakage. See Index 6.2.
2.1.4 Check cylinder barrel.
Liners in cylinder barrel may be scratched
or worn. Insert a piston in the liner and
check the fit. If there is any space
(clearance) between liner and piston, liner
or piston is worn.
2.1.5 Pre-treatment
Analyse fluid for content of particles.
- Check that filters are OK and working
correctly.
2.1.6 Main filtration
Check that the correct filter type is used
(particles in fluid must not exceed 10 μm).
Danfoss High Pressure Pumps supplies
filters, please contact the sales office.
Typical signs of wear:
Polished surface all over the swash plate.
Normally, only half of the swash plate = the
pressure side is polished. See index 6.3.
If the ring is missing, the piston is very worn.
The filters can be bypassed, even if they are
correctly mounted. Some filters can create
channelling where particles can pass through
the filter in tunnels. String wounded filters are
typically channelling filters. A string wounded
filter may have a filtration efficiency of only
50%, which will cause internal wear and must always be followed by a main filter.
2.1.7 Fluid type
The APP, APP S and APP S 674 pumps are
designed for seawater operation; for any
other fluid, please contact Danfoss High
Pressure Pumps sales office for further help.

2.2 Low inlet pressure2.2.1 Check that booster pump supplies the
2.3 Rotation speed (rpm)2.3.1 If VFD-operated, check frequency.
2.1.8 High fluid temperature
If fluid temperature is above 50 °C (122 ° F),
stop the pump immediately.
- Check internal parts (see above).
right pressure/flow.
2.2.2 Check if filters require replacement.
2.3.2 Check that rotation speed of the electric
motor is as stated on name plate on
electric motor. Check that the motor rotor
winding is not damaged.
Insufficient filtration means that too many or
too large hard particles can pass the main filter
because it is damaged, bypassed or simply too
poor. Filtration efficiency must be 99.98%
(Beta = 5000) at 10 μm to prevent abnormal
wear of the pump.
Temperature > 50 °C (122 ° F) will cause wear on
internal pump parts. Mount a temperature
switch and check its set point / function. The
temperature switch will ensure that the pump
stops at fluid temperatures > 50 °C (122 ° F).
If the pressure drop across the filters is too high,
the booster pump does not deliver sufficient
flow/pressure. No pressure or low pressure
results in cavitation and insufficient internal
lubrication causing wear on internal pump
parts.
Mount a low-pressure switch in front of the
pump and check its set point/ function. The
low- pressure switch ensures that the pump
does not start until the inlet pressure has
reached 1 bar.
Speeds below min. limit (see User manual)
result in insufficient internal lubrication causing
wear on the internal pump parts.

4.1 Air in fluid4.1.1 Ensure that the entire inlet line is bled
before starting up the system.
4.1.2 Ensure that air cannot enter into the inlet
line.
4.2 Bleeding conditions of pump4.2.1 Follow the instructions “Initial start-up”
supplied with the new pump.
4.2.2 Ensure that the pump is completely bled
before start-up.
4.3 Min/max nominal inlet pressure4.3.1 Ensure that inlet pressure is within the
limits specified in the User manual.
4.3.2 Check the pump for internal damage.
4.4 Pump reversing4.4.1 Dismantle pump and check if anything is
broken or worn (See “1. No flow”, item 1.2
Pump reversing”).
WARNING:
The pump must not run without water
for more than a few seconds. If the pump
takes in water from the high-pressure
outlet line, it builds up pressure and will
eventually be damaged.
4.5 High rotation speed (rpm)4.5.1 If electric motor rpm is too high, dismantle
pump and check for damage.
4.5.2 If the rpm is within the specified range of
the pump data sheet and abnormal noise
remains, dismantle pump and check for
damage.
Small air bubbles will accumulate and create
large bubbles causing internal cavitation and
thus making the pump very noisy.
WARNING:
The pump can only run few minutes with air
in
the fluid without being damaged.
The pump and the inlet line must be completely bled before start-up, otherwise the
pump will cavitate and make high noise.
WARNING:
The pump can only run few minutes with air
in the fluid without being damaged.
Too high inlet pressure causes too high
pressure inside the pump damaging the pistons
and eventually the pump.
Inlet pressure below min. limit causes
cavitation and insufficient internal lubrication
resulting in wear on internal pump parts.
Mount a low-pressure switch in front of the
pump and check its set point/ function. The
low-pressure switch will ensure that the pump
does not start until the min. inlet pressure has
been reached.
If pump rotates in wrong direction, it will take
in water from the high-pressure outlet line.
Pressure will be built up inside the pump and it
will eventually be damaged.
Higher rpm than specified in the pump data
sheet results in wear of the pistons, i.e. pistons
may be damaged.
High rpm will also increase pressure pulsations
from the pump, and the noise level will
increase.
4.6 Outlet pressure4.6.1 If outlet pressure is too low, check set
point of outlet pressure valve.
4.6.2 If outlet pressure is lower than mentioned
in the pump data sheet, please contact
Danfoss High Pressure Pumps technical
support.
4.6.3 If outlet pressure has exceeded its
maximum, check set point of outlet
pressure valve.
4.6.4 Check internal parts for wear/damage.
4.7 Soft start/stop4.7.1 Check if noise is normal when the pump is
running at operation speed.
4.7.2 If noise is abnormal at operation speed,
check internal parts (see above).
180R9267 | AQ291128576527en-000901 IOM APP 1.5-3.5 Pumps |67
If rpm is changed, noise frequency will also
change.
At too low outlet pressure, the pump will create
higher pressure pulsations and thus make
noise. Too low pressure also causes insufficient
internal lubrication and wear on internal parts.
Pump may eventually be damaged.
Too high outlet pressure may damage the
pump.
Noise frequency changes during soft start-up/
stop.

vibration dampener mounting plate.
5.5.1 Mount a vibration dampener below the
motor/pump.
Non-flexible connections mounted directly on
the frame will cause even small pressure
pulsations from pump and create vibrations in
the system/plant.
Too small pipes or too many bends may create
too fast flow/turbulence through the pipes and
thus increase the noise level.
Too stiff hoses cannot dampen the small
pressure pulsations from the pump, and
subsequently vibrations occur in the system/
plant.
If the hoses are mounted directly on the frame,
the small pressure pulsations from the pump
can be transferred to the frame and the rest of
the system/plant.
When no dampener is installed below the
electric motor, vibrations from the motor and
pump may be transferred to the frame and the
rest of the system/plant.
