Electrical
hazard
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, re or even death.
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 5, Trouble shooting
guide as guideline or send the pump to Danfoss
headquarter in Denmark for evaluation.
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 ooding, which can cause
slipping, tripping or falling.
If water is dripping into the electric motor; it can
cause electric shock, re, short of circuit or even
death. When mounting the pump vertically,
always mount the motor above the pump to
avoid water leaking into the electric motor.
For other observations or troubles, please see
appendix 6, 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.

The data sheet is valid for PAH pumps both non
ATEX and ATEX certied. The ATEX certied
versions are indicated with Ex in the designation.
The Danfoss range of PAH high-pressure pumps
is designed to supply water ow under highpressure for a varity of tap water applications.
Danfoss PAH pumps are positive displacement
pumps, with axial pistons that move a xed
amount of water in each cycle. Flow is proportional to the number of input shaft revolutions
(rpm). Unlike centrifugal pumps, they produce
the same ow at a given speed no matter what
the discharge pressure.
All components are designed to provide long
service life with a constantly high eciency and
minimum service required.

7. InstallationSee the gure below for instructions on how to
mount the pump and connect it to an electric
motor or combustion engine.
A: Flexible coupling
B: Bell housing
C: Motor shaft
If alternative mounting is required, please
contact your Danfoss sales representative for
further information.
Note: Do not add any axial or radial loads to the
pump shaft.
7.1 Filtration
Proper ltration is crucial for the performance,
maintenance and warranty of your pump.
Protect your pump, and the application in which
it is installed, by always ensuring that ltration
specications are met, and by always changing
lter cartridges according to schedule.
Since water has very low viscosity, Danfoss PAH
pumps have been designed with very narrow
clearances in order to control internal leakage
rates and improve component performance. To
minimize wear in the pump, it is therefore
essential to lter inlet water properly.
The main lter must have a ltration eciency
of 99.98% at 10 μm. We strongly recommend
that you always use precision depth lter
cartridges rated 10 μm abs. β10 ≥ 5,000.
Please note that we do not recommend bag
lters or string-wound lter cartridges, which
typically have only 50% ltration eciency. This
means that out of 100,000 particles that enter
such lters, 50,000 particles pass right through
them; compare this to precision depth lters that
are 99.98% ecient, and only allow 20 of the
same 100,000 particles to pass through.
For more information on the importance of
proper ltration, including explanation of
ltration principles, denitions, and guidance on
how to select the right lter for your pump,
please consult our Filtration information and
specications (Danfoss document number
521B1009).
7.2 Noise
Since the pump unit is mounted on a frame, 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 dampers and to use exible hoses
rather than metal pipes where possible.
The noise level is inuenced by:
• Pump speed:
High rpm makes more uid/structureborne pulsations/vibrations than low rpm.
• Discharge pressure:
High pressures make more noise than low
pressures.
• Pump mounting:
Rigid mounting makes more noise than
exible mounting because of the structureborne vibrations. Be sure to use dampers
when mounting.
• Connections to pump:
Pipes connected directly to the pump make
more noise than exible hoses because of
structure-borne vibrations.
• Variable frequency drives (VFDs):
Motors regulated by VFDs can produce
more noise if the VFD does not have the
right settings.

7.3 Open-system design
A Inlet line:
Dimension the inlet line to obtain minimum pressure loss (large ow, minimum
pipe length, minimum number of bends/
connections, ttings with small pressure
losses and restrictions).
B Inlet lter:
Install the inlet lter (1) in front of the PAH
pump (2). Please consult the Danfoss lter
data sheet for guidance on how to select
the right lter.
C Monitoring pressure switch:
Install the monitoring pressure switch (3)
between the lter and the pump inlet. Set
the minimum inlet pressure according to
specications described in item 4, technical
data. The monitoring pressure switch stops
the pump if inlet pressure is lower than the
set minimum pressure.
D Monitoring temperature switch:
Install the monitoring temperature switch
(4) between the lter and the pump, on
either side of the monitoring pressure
switch. Set the temperature value according to technical data, item 4. The monitoring temperature switch stops the pump if
inlet temperature is higher than the set
value.
E Hoses:
Always use exible hoses (5) to minimize
vibrations and noise.
F Inlet pressure:
In order to eliminate the risk of cavitation
and other pump damage, pump inlet
pressure must be maintained according to
specications described in item 4, technical
data.
G Non-return valve (6):
Should be installed after the outlet to
prevent pump backspin, which may ruin
the pump.
H Pressure relief valve:
As the Danfoss PAH pump begins to create
pressure and ow immediately after
start-up regardless of any counter pressure,
a pressure relief valve (7) should be
installed to prevent system damage.
Note: If a non-return valve is mounted in the
inlet line, a low-pressure relief valve is also
recommended between the non-return valve
(8) and the pump to protect against high-pressure peaks.

Dimension the inlet line to obtain minimum pressure loss (large ow, minimum
pipe length, minimum number of bends/
connections, ttings with small pressure
losses and restrictions).
B Inlet lter:
Install the lter (1) in front of the tank (2).
Please consult the Danfoss lter data sheet
for guidance on how to select the right
lter.
C Monitoring pressure switch:
Install the monitoring pressure switch (3) in
front of the lter (1). Set the maximum inlet
pressure to 2 barg (29.0 psig). The monitoring pressure switch will stop the pump (5) if
inlet pressure is higher than 2 barg (29.0
psig), indicating that the lter element
must be changed.
D Monitoring temperature switch:
Install the monitoring temperature switch
(4) in the tank. Set the temperature value
according to technical data, item 4. The
monitoring temperature stops the pump if
inlet temperature is higher than the set
value.
E Hoses:
Always use exible hoses (6) to minimize
vibrations and noise.
F Inlet pressure:
In order to eliminate the risk of cavitation
and other pump damage, pump inlet
pressure must be maintained according to
specications described in item 4, technical
data.
G Non-return valve (7):
Should be installed after the outlet to
prevent pump backspin, which may ruin
the pump.
H Pressure relief valve:
As the Danfoss PAH pump begins to create
pressure and ow immediately after
start-up regardless of any counter pressure,
a pressure relief valve (8) should be
installed to prevent system damage.
I System water lling:
To ensure proper ltration of new water
(10) supplied to the system, always use the
lling valve (9).
J Minimum level switch:
Install the minimum level switch (11) above
the outlet of the reservoir. The level switch
must stop the pump if the water in the
reservoir is below the switch, which
indicates that the reservoir is empty.

9. ServiceDanfoss PAH pumps are designed for long
periods of service-free operation to ensure low
maintenance and life cycle costs. Provided that
the pump is installed and operated according to
Danfoss specications, Danfoss PAH pumps
typically run 8,000 hours between service.
However, the service schedule for your Danfoss
PAH pump may vary according to the application
and other factors.
The life of a pump may be greatly shortened if
Danfoss recommendations concerning system
design and operation are not followed.
In our experience, poor ltration is the number
one cause of pump damage.
Other factors that aect pump performance and
lifetime include:
• running the pump at speeds outside
specications
• supplying the pump with water at temperatures higher than recommended
• running the pump at inlet pressures
outside specications
• running the pump at outlet pressures
outside the specications.
We recommend that you inspect your pump
after 8,000 hours of operation even if it is
running without any noticeable problems.
Replace any worn parts if necessary, including
pistons and shaft seals, to keep your pump
running eciently and to prevent breakdown. If
worn parts are not replaced, then our guidelines
recommend more frequent inspection.

A good ltration is vital to ensure a long and
trouble free life of the pump.
When selecting a lter or strainer, please note
that lter 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 lter must have a neness of 10 µm
abs. β10 ≥ 5,000.
• The pressure loss across the lter should be
monitored.
• Please contact the Danfoss Sales Organization for further lter details.
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 environment.
Automatic pressure equalization between tank
and surroundings must be ensured.
Inlet from the water supply (the return line) 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 above the
tank bottom in order to prevent settled particles
from being led into the pump.

4. Initial start-upBefore 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
ushed before start-up.
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.

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.
6. ServiceThe Danfoss PAHT pumps are designed for long
periods of service-free operation to provide
customers with low maintenance and life cycle
costs. Provided that the pumps are installed and
operated according to Danfoss specications, the
Danfoss PAHT pumps typically run 8,000 hours
between service routines. However, the service
schedule for your PAHT pump may vary according to the application and other factors.
The life of a pump may be greatly shortened if
Danfoss recommendations concerning system
design and operation are not followed.
5.6.3 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 ow from the
outlet port 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.
Other factors that aect pump performance and
lifetime include:
• running the pump at speeds outside
specications
• supplying the pump with water at temperatures higher than recommended
• running the pump at inlet pressures
outside specications
• running the pump at outlet pressures
outside the specications.
7. Recommended service
intervals
In our experience, poor ltration is the number
one cause of pump damage.
7.1 General information
This guideline provides information on the
recommended service intervals for the PAHT
pumps. The recommendation is based upon
good engineering practice and on experience
gained from operation even under extreme
conditions.
The recommendation is for guidance only.
7.2 Inspection of pump parts
Danfoss recommends to inspect the pumps after
8,000 hours. Typical signs of wear are seen on the
contact/sliding surfaces in the pumps. If the
pumps must run for additional 8,000 hours, the
following parts will have to be inspected:
• Pistons
• Retainer plate, ball and bearing
• Valve plate
• Port plate
• Sealings
If service inspection due to the application is
complicated, the plant operator can decide to
extend the service interval by evaluating the
following deviations:
• Sound - does the pump have any unusual
sounds?
• Electric motor power consumption and
speed compared with measurement made
in the past.
• Pressure/ow according to measurements
made in the past?
We advise that the above mentioned parameter
during the extended service interval is inspected
for every 500-2,000 hours beyond the 8,000
hours. The pump must in any case be inspected
after maximum 16,000 hours or 2 years.
7.3 How to inspect the pump

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.
Tightening torques for terminal board screws:
ThreadM5M6M8M10M12M16M20M24
T.(Nm)2.53.571218355580
Installation
The motor must be fixed on a stable, clear and flat foundation.
It must be sufficiently rigid to withstand possible short
circuit forces.
It is important to ensure that the mounting conditions do
not cause resonance with the rotational frequency and the
doubled supply frequency.
Only mount or remove drive components (pulley, coupling,

Ensure that the terminal box is clean and dry.
Unused glands must be closed with blind caps.
Check the terminal box gasket before it is remounted.
Maintenance
Inspect the motor at regular intervals, keep it clean and
ensure free ventilation air flow, check the condition of shaft
seals and replace if necessary. Both electrical and mechanical

connections must be checked and tightened if necessary.
Bearing size and type are specified on the rating plate. Motor
types HMA3 and HMC3 is as standard with lifetime greased
bearings in motors size ≤180 for cast iron and size ≤132 for
aluminium. Motor types HMA2 and HMC2 is as standard
with lifetime greased bearing in motors size ≤225.
Motor types MS and Y2E is as standard with lifetime greased
bearing in motors size ≤160.
Typical duty hours for lifetime lubricated bearings.

Motors with a re-greasing system must be lubricated with
high quality lithium complex grease, NLGI grade 2 or 3, with
a temperature range of between -40°C to +150°C.
Motors are normal fitted with a data plate with greasing
information; if it is missing use the following re-greasing
intervals.

Grease the motor while running, open the grease outlet plug
and let the motor run 1-2 hours before the outlet grease plug
is closed again.
Grease the motor for the first time during commissioning.
The following applies in general for both lifetime lubricated
and re-lubricated bearings:
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%.
Special note for Atex Zone 22 and nA motors
Designation of motor according to IEC standard:
II 3D Ex tc IIIB T120°C
II 3G Ex nA IIC T3
The hazardous 3-phase asynchronous motors are in
accordance with International standard IEC 60079-31 and
IEC 60079-15.
Only one electrical installation may be installed in one
specified area (zone).
Only certificated cable glands may be used. Unused glands
must be closed.
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 earth connection.
Installations must be in accordance with actual standards
for installation in hazardours area.
It is recommended that the IEC standard is followed according
to temperature and dust on the motor surface.
The use of motors with so much surface dust that the motor
temperature increases is not permitted.
Regularly cleaning is recommended.
The radial shaft sealing ring is part of the ATEX certification.
It is important that the ring is always intact.
The shaft sealing must be regularly checked, and if dry it
must be lubricated. It is recommended that the seal is relubricated regularly.
Always use the original seal ring when replaced.
Replacing bearings also means replacing the seals.
All machines must be inspected regularly for mechanical
damage.
The user is responsible for changing parts in accordance
with the lifetime of parts, in particular:
bearings, grease and lubrication of shaft sealing.
Maintenance, repairs and replacement on this type must
only be carried out by qualified specialists.
Text and data in this catalogue are not binding and we reserve the right to implement changes without further notice.

1. No ow/no pressure
Cause RemedyComments
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 Data sheet).
Rotation direction for the pump is shown by an
arrow on the label on the pump.

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 exible coupling
without using tools, the tolerances must be
dimensioned accordingly.

2. Reduced ow/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 t. If there is any space (clearance) between liner and piston, liner or
piston is worn.
2.1.5 Pre-treatment:
Analyse uid for content of particles.
- Check that lters are OK and working
correctly.
2.1.6 Main ltration:
Check that the correct lter type is used
(particles in uid must not exceed 10 μm).
Danfoss High Pressure Pumps supplies
lters, please contact the sales oce.
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 lters can be bypassed, even if they are
correctly mounted. Some lters can create
channelling where particles can pass through
the lter in tunnels. String wounded lters are
typically channelling lters. A string wound lter
may have a ltration eciency of only 50%,
which will cause internal wear and must always be followed by a main lter.
2.1.7 Fluid type:
The PAH/PAH F (tapwater) and PAHT/PAHT
G (ultra pure water) pumps are designed
for water operation; for any other uid,
please contact Danfoss High Pressure
Pumps sales oce for further help.
2.1.8 High uid temperature:
If uid temperature is above 50°C, stop the
pump immediately.
- Check internal parts (see above).
2.2 Low inlet pressure2.2.1 Check that booster pump supplies the
right pressure/ow.
2.2.2 Check if lters require replacement.
2.3 Rotation speed (rpm)2.3.1 If VFD-operated, check frequency.
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.
Insucient ltration means that too many or too
large hard particles can pass the main lter
because it is damaged, bypassed or simply too
poor. Filtration eciency must be 99.98%
(Beta = 5000) at 10 μm to prevent abnormal
wear of the pump.
Temperature > 50° C 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 uid
temperatures > 50° C.
If the pressure drop across the lters is too high,
the booster pump does not deliver sucient
ow/pressure. No pressure or low pressure
results in cavitation and insucient 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 minimum limit (see Data sheet)
result in insucient internal lubrication causing
wear on the internal pump parts.

4. Noise from pump
Cause RemedyComments
4.1 Air in uid4.1.1 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 specied in the Data sheet.
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 ow”, 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 specied 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 uid 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 uid 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 insucient 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 minimum 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 specied 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).
180R9379 | IOM PAH 2-12.5 pumps - v06 | 11.2020
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 insucient 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.

5.5.1 Mount a vibration dampener below the
motor/pump.
Non-exible 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 ow/turbulence through the pipes and
thus increase the noise level.

subsequently vibrations occur in the system/

If the hoses are mounted directly on the frame,
the small pressure pulsations from the pump

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.

6. Typical signs of wear6.1 Valve plate
Picture 1
Picture 2
Scratches
A normally worn valve plate has no marks/scratches but only a slightly
polished surface.
No scratches or marks should be felt. The surface must be at and level.
A worn valve plate has scratches, and/or a polished surface. Even small
scratches will give a loss of ow.
Picture 3A good way to identify a worn valve plate is to hold a straight knife edge
over the valve plate. When holding it up to the light, it will be possible to
see any space between the knife edge and the valve plate. See picture 3.
If any light can be seen between the two arrows on the picture, the valve
plate is worn.
If any scratches or ma rks can be felt by running a ngernail over the surface,
the valve plate is worn.
The valve plate on picture 3 is highly damaged.
