2. System design The design of the system must ensure that
self-emptying of the pump during standstill is
avoided.
The inlet pressure of the pump must never
exceed the outlet pressure. This may typically
occur in boosted or open-ended systems with
direct water supply.
2.1 Open-ended systems with direct
water supply
The pump is supplied with water direct from a
feed pump.
In order to eliminate the risk of cavitation, a
positive inlet pressure of at least 2 barg (29 psig)
is always to be maintained, but it must not
exceed 5 barg (72.5 psig) continuously.
1. Place the lter (1) in the water supply line in
front of the pump.
2. Place a monitoring pressure switch (3)
between lter and pump inlet - set at min.
2 barg (29 psig) inlet pressure. The
monitoring pressure switch must stop the
pump at pressures lower than 2 barg
(29 psi g) inlet pressure.
3. Install a low pressure safety valve or a low
pressure relief valve (4) in order to avoid
system or pump damage in case the pump
stops momentarily (high-pressure peaks) or
starts spinning backwards.
Note: If a non return valve (2) is mounted in the
inlet line, a low-pressure relief valve is also
required between non return valve and pump
as protection against high-pressure peaks.

2.2 Preferred RO system design and P&ID
1. Dimension the inlet line to obtain minimum pressure loss (large ow, minimum
pipe length, minimum number of bends/
connections, and ttings with small
pressure losses).
2. Place an inlet lter (1) in front of the APP
pump (2). Please consult the Danfoss lter
data sheet for guidance (521B1009) on how
to select the right lter. Thoroughly clean
pipes and ush system prior to start-up.
3. Place a monitoring pressure switch (3) set
at min. inlet pressure between lter and
pump inlet. The monitoring switch must
stop the pump at pressures lower than
minimum pressure.
4. Use exible hoses (4) to minimize vibrations
and noise.
5. In order to eliminate the risk of damage
and cavitation, a positive pressure at the
inlet (5) is always to be maintained at min.
inlet pressure and max. inlet pressure.
Recommend to install safety valve or a
pressure relief valve (9) in order to avoid
high-pressure peaks in case the pump
stops momentarily or starts spinning
backwards.
6. For easy system bleeding and ushing, a
bypass non-return valve (6) is integrated in
the APP pump.
7. 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 ow backwards in case of the
pump stops momentarily.
8. A safety valve or a pressure relief valve (8)
can be installed in order to avoid system
damage as the Danfoss APP pump creates
pressure and ow immediately after
start-up, regardless of any counter
pressure.
Note: If a non-return valve is mounted in the
inlet line, a low-pressure relief valve is also
required between non return valve and pump
as protection against high-pressure peaks.

2.3 Reversible pumps
If exposed to high pressure in the outlet while the
electric motor is not energized, the pump will start
spinning backwards. This will not harm the pump
as long as the pressure in the inlet does not exceed
the max. pressure peak of 10 barg (145 psig).
If a non-return valve is mounted in the inlet line,
a low-pressure relief valve is also required as
protection against high-pressure pulses and high
pressure in general.
Alternatively a high-pressure check valve can be
mounted in the pump discharge line to prevent
the pump from reversing.
The dotted setup ensures that the inlet pressure
does not exceed 10 barg (145 psig), when a
non-return valve is mounted in the inlet.
Attention: In order to avoid the risk of cavitation, the inlet pressure at the pump must be
min. 2 barg (29 psig).
The inlet line connection must be properly
tightened, as possible entrance of air will cause
cavitation.

2.4 General comments on
Filtration
A good ltration is vital to ensure a long and
trouble free life of the pump.
As water has very low viscosity, the APP pumps
have been designed with very narrow clearance
in order to control internal leakage rates and
improve component performance. Therefore it is
important that the inlet water is ltered properly
to minimize the wear of the pump.
The main lter must have a ltration eciency of
99.98% at 10 µm. We recommend to use
precision depth lter cartridges rated 10 µm abs.
≥
ß
5000 (equivalent to a ltration eciency of
10
99.98%). Bag lters and string wounded lter
cartridges typically have only 50% ltration
eciency. This means that for each 100,000
particles reaching the lter, 50,000 particles pass
through it compared to only 20 particles in a
lter with an eciency of 99.98%.

3. Building up the
pump unit
For more information on the importance of
proper ltration, please consult our data sheet

If alternative mounting is desired, please contact
Danfoss High Pressure Pumps.
Choose proper tolerances to ensure an easy
mounting of the elastic coupling without use of
tools.
Please take care to observe the recommended
length tolerances of the chosen coupling, as an
axial force on the pump will damage the pump.

3.4 Protection against too high
outlet pressure
The pump should be protected against too high
outlet pressure by means of a safety valve or a
pressure relief valve. 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 80 barg (1160 psig).
Inlet
Both the inlet and outlet lines must be exible
soft hoses.
The valve outlet must not be connected
directly to the pump suction line. It must be
connected directly to the drain.

4. Initial start-up 1. Flush inlet line before connecting the
pump, to remove possible impurities from
pipes, hoses etc.
2. Connect pump inlet to inlet line and ush
the pump for 5 min. by means of the
internal ushing valve, to remove possible
impurities from pipes, hoses etc.
3. Loosen top bleeding plug “C” (see item 3.3)
using an allen key (only plugs with internal
hexagan sockets). Retighten the plug,
when water appears from the bleeding
plug.
4. Make sure that the direction of rotation of
the electric motor corresponds to the
direction of rotation of the pump (see label
on pump).
5. Now the pump is ready for start-up.
Warning:
Make sure that the direction of rotation of the
electric motor corresponds to the direction of
rotation of the pump (see label on pump).
Otherwise the pump will be damaged if a
check valve is placed between pump and feed
pump.

5.2 Pressure
The inlet pressure for APP 11-13 and APP 16-22
must be min. 2 barg (29 psig) and max. 5 barg
(72.5 psig).
At lower pressures the pump will cavitate,
resulting in damage of the pump.
Max. inlet pressure peak (e.g. in case the pump
stops momentarily) up to 10 barg (145 psig) are
acceptable.
Max. pressure on the pump’s outlet line should
be limited at 80 barg (1160 psig) continuously.
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.
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
starting up again, follow the bleeding pro cedure
described under section 4: Initial start up.

5.5 Storage
Storage temperature:
Min. -40°C to max. +70°C
(Min. -40°F to max. +158°F)
When preparing the pump for long-term storage
or for temperatures below the freezing point,
ush 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.
5.5.1 Recommended procedure
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 containing
anti-freeze additive. Connect a hose to the
inlet port of the pump and via another
hose return the ow 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 pump that have been in operation:
For shorter periods of storage ush the pump
with permeate rotating the pump for 10 sec.,
empty permeate and store.
For long term storage (more than 2 months)
Danfoss recommends sevicing 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 specications, 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
inuence the life of the APP pumps.
6.2 Maintenance
After 8,000 hours of operation it is strongly
recommended to inspect the pump and change
any worn parts, e.g. pistons and shaft seal. This is
done in order to prevent a potential breakdown
of the pump. If the parts are not replaced, more
frequent inspection is recommended according
to our guidelines.
Stand still
The APP pumps are made of Duplex/Super
Duplex materials with excellent corrosion
properties. It is however, always recommended
to ush the pump with freshwater when the
system is shut down.
When stopping the pump for more than 1 day
ush the pump with permeate by rotating the
pump for 10 sec. Flushing through the ushing
valve of the pump without rotating the pump is
not enough for cleaning the inside of the pump.
The pump can ushed 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).
6.3 Repair
In case of irregular function of the APP, please
contact Danfoss High Pressure Pumps.
