This sign is not a safety symbol but
indicates an important instruction in the assembly
process.
1.6.2 Personnel qualification and training
All personnel involved in the operation, installation,
inspection and maintenance of the unit must be
qualified to carry out the work involved. If the
personnel in question do not already have the
necessary knowledge and skills, appropriate training
and instruction shall be provided. If required the
operator may commission the manufacturer/supplier
to provide applicable training.
Always coordinate repair activities with operations
and health and safety personnel, and follow all plant
safety requirements and applicable safety and health
laws and regulations.
1.6.3 Safety action
This is a summary of conditions and actions to
prevent injury to personnel and damage to the
environment and to equipment. For products
used in potentially explosive atmospheres
section 1.6.4 also applies.
NEVER DO MAINTENANCE WORK
WHEN THE UNIT IS CONNECTED TO POWER
GUARDS MUST NOT BE REMOVED WHILE
THE PUMP IS IN OPERATION
DRAIN THE PUMP AND ISOLATE PIPEWORK
BEFORE DISMANTLING THE PUMP
The appropriate safety precautions should be taken
where the pumped liquids are hazardous.
FLUORO-ELASTOMERS (When fitted.)
When a pump has experienced temperatures over
250 ºC (482 ºF), partial decomposition of fluorelastomers (example: Viton) will occur. In this
condition these are extremely dangerous and skin
contact must be avoided.
HANDLING COMPONENTS
Many precision parts have sharp corners and the
wearing of appropriate safety gloves and equipment
is required when handling these components. To lift
heavy pieces above 25 kg (55 lb) use a crane
appropriate for the mass and in accordance with
current local regulations.
THERMAL SHOCK
Rapid changes in the temperature of the liquid within
the pump can cause thermal shock, which can result
in damage or breakage of components and should be
avoided.
NEVER APPLY HEAT TO REMOVE IMPELLER
Trapped lubricant or vapour could cause an explosion.
HOT (and cold) PARTS
If hot or freezing components or auxiliary heating
supplies can present a danger to operators and
persons entering the immediate area action must be
taken to avoid accidental contact. If complete
protection is not possible, the machine access must
be limited to maintenance staff only, with clear visual
warnings and indicators to those entering the
immediate area. Note: bearing housings must not be
insulated and drive motors and bearings may be hot.
If the temperature is higher than 68 °C (175 °F) or
below 5 °C (20 °F) in a restricted zone, or exceeds
local regulations, action as above shall be taken.
HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS
When the pump is handling hazardous liquids care shall
be taken to avoid exposure to the liquid by appropriate
situating the pump, limiting personnel access and by
operator training. If the liquid is flammable and/or
explosive, strict safety procedures shall be applied.
Gland packing shall not be used when pumping
hazardous liquids.
Page 4 of 31
PHL USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 00079593 – 10/10
appropriate. Always check that the driver, seal and
PREVENT EXCESSIVE EXTERNAL
PIPE LOAD
Do not use pump as a support for piping. Do not
mount expansion joints, unless allowed by Flowserve
in writing, so that their force, due to internal pressure,
acts on the pump flange.
ENSURE CORRECT LUBRICATION
(See section 5, Commissioning, start-up, operation and shutdown.)
START THE PUMP WITH OUTLET
VALVE PARTLY OPENED
(Unless otherwise instructed at a specific point in the
User Instructions.)
This is recommended to minimize the risk of
overloading and damaging the pump motor at full or
zero flow. Pumps may be started with the valve
further open only on installations where this situation
cannot occur. The pump outlet control valve may
need to be adjusted to comply with the duty following
the run-up process. (See section 5, Commissioning start-up, operation and shutdown.)
NEVER RUN THE PUMP DRY
INLET VALVES TO BE FULLY OPEN
WHEN PUMP IS RUNNING
Running the pump at zero flow or below the
recommended minimum flow continuously will cause
damage to the seal.
DO NOT RUN THE PUMP AT
ABNORMALLY HIGH OR LOW FLOW RATES
Operating at a flow rate higher than normal or at a
flow rate with no back pressure on the pump may
overload the motor and cause cavitation. Low flow
rates may cause a reduction in pump/bearing life,
overheating of the pump, instability and cavitation/
vibration.
1.6.4 Products used in potentially explosive
atmospheres
Measures are required to:
Avoid excess temperature
Prevent build up of explosive mixtures
Prevent the generation of sparks
Prevent leakages
Maintain the pump to avoid hazard
The following instructions for pumps and pump units
when installed in potentially explosive atmospheres
shall be followed to help ensure explosion protection.
Both electrical and non-electrical equipment shall
meet the requirements of European Directive
94/9/EC.
1.6.4.1 Scope of compliance
pump equipment are suitably rated and/or certified for
the classification of the specific atmosphere in which
they are to be installed.
Where Flowserve has supplied only the bare shaft
pump, the Ex rating is only applicable to the pump.
The party responsible for assembling the pump set
shall select the driver and any additional equipment,
with the necessary CE Certificate/ Declaration of
Conformity establishing it is suitable for the area in
which it is to be installed.
The output from a variable frequency drive (VFD) can
cause additional heating affects in the motor and so,
for pumps sets with a VFD, the ATEX Certification for
the motor must state that it covers the situation where
electrical supply is from the VFD. This particular
requirement is applicable, even if the VFD is in a safe
area.
1.6.4.2 Marking
An example of ATEX equipment marking is shown
below. The actual classification of the pump will be
engraved on the nameplate.

Maximum surface temperature (Temperature Class)
(See section 1.6.4.3.)
1.6.4.3 Avoiding excessive surface temperatures
ENSURE THE EQUIPMENT TEMPERATURE
CLASS IS SUITABLE FOR THE HAZARD ZONE
Pumps have a temperature class as stated in the
ATEX Ex rating on the nameplate. These are based
on a maximum ambient of 40 °C (104 °F); refer to
Flowserve for higher ambient temperatures.
The surface temperature on the pump is influenced
by the temperature of the liquid handled. The
maximum permissible liquid temperature depends on
the temperature class and shall not exceed the
values in the table that follows.
Use equipment only in the zone for which it is

The temperature rise at the seals and bearings and
due to the minimum permitted flow rate is taken into
account in the temperatures stated.
The responsibility for compliance with the
specified maximum liquid temperature is with the
plant operator.
Temperature classification “Tx” is used when the
liquid temperature varies and the pump could be
installed in different hazarous atmospheres. In this
case the user is responsible for ensuring that the
pump surface temperature does not exceed that
permitted in the particular hazardous atmosphere.
If an explosive atmosphere exists during the
installation, do not attempt to check the direction of
rotation by starting the pump not completely filled.
Even a short run time may give a high temperature
resulting from contact between rotating and stationary
components.
If there is any possibility of risk of the pump being run
against a closed valve, generating high liquid and
casing external surface temperatures it is
recommended that an external surface temperature
protection device will be mounted.
Avoid mechanical, hydraulic or electrical overload by
using motor overload trips, temperature monitoring or
power monitoring and make routine vibration
monitoring checks.
In dirty or dusty environments, regular checks must
be made and dirt removed from areas around close
clearances and motors.
1.6.4.4 Preventing the build up of explosive
mixtures
ENSURE THE PUMP IS PROPERLY FILLED
AND VENTED AND DOES NOT RUN DRY
Ensure the pump and relevant suction and discharge
pipeline system is totally filled with liquid at all times
during the pump operation, so that an explosive
atmosphere is prevented. In addition it is essential to
make sure that seal chambers, auxiliary shaft seal
systems and any heating and cooling systems are
properly filled.
If the operation of the system cannot avoid this
condition the fitting of an appropriate dry running
protection device is recommended (eg liquid
detection or a power monitor).
To avoid potential hazards from fugitive emissions of
vapour or gas to the atmosphere, the surrounding
area must be well ventilated.
1.6.4.5 Preventing sparks
To prevent a potential hazard from mechanical
contact, the motor stool guard shall be non-sparking
and anti-static for Category 2.
To avoid the potential hazard from random induced
current generating a spark, the earth contact on the
base plate must be used.
Avoid electrostatic charge: do not rub non-metallic
surfaces with a dry cloth; ensure cloth is damp.
1.6.4.6 Preventing leakage
The pump must only be used to handle liquids
for which it has been approved to have the correct
corrosion resistance.
Avoid entrapment of liquid in the pump and
associated piping due to closing of suction and
discharge valves, which could cause dangerous
excessive pressures to occur if there is heat input to
the liquid. This can occur if the pump is stationary or
running.
Bursting of liquid containing parts due to freezing
must be avoided by draining or protecting the pump
and ancillary systems.
Where there is the potential risk of a loss of a seal
barrier fluid or external flush, the fluid must be
monitored.
If leakage of liquid to the atmosphere can result in a
hazard, the installation of a liquid detection device is
recommended.
1.6.4.7 Maintenance to avoid the hazard
CORRECT MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED TO
AVOID POTENTIAL HAZARDS WHICH GIVE A
RISK OF EXPLOSION
The responsibility for compliance with
maintenance instructions is with the plant
operator.
Page 6 of 31
PHL USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 00079593 – 10/10
To avoid potential explosion hazards during
maintenance, the tools, cleaning and painting
materials used must not give rise to sparking or
adversely affect the ambient conditions. Where there
is a risk from such tools or materials, maintenance
must be conducted in a safe area.
It is recommended that a maintenance plan and
schedule is adopted. (See section 6, Maintenance.)

1.8 Specific machine performance
For performance parameters see section 1.5, Duty
conditions. When the contract requirement specifies
these to be incorporated into User Instructions these
are included here. Where performance data has
been supplied separately to the purchaser these
should be obtained and retained with these User
Instructions if required.
1.9 Noise level
When pump noise level exceeds 85 dBA attention
must be given to prevailing Health and Safety
Legislation, to limit the exposure of plant operating
personnel to the noise. The usual approach is to
control exposure time to the noise or to enclose the
machine to reduce emitted sound. You may have
already specified a limiting noise level when the
equipment was ordered, however if no noise
requirements were defined then machines above a
certain power level will exceed 85 dBA. In such
situations consideration must be given to the fitting of
an acoustic enclosure to meet local regulations.
Pump noise level is dependent on a number of factors the type of motor fitted, the operating capacity, pipework
design and acoustic characteristics of the building.
Typical sound pressure levels measured in dB, and
A-weighted are shown in the table below (L
figures are indicative only, they are subject to a +3 dB
tolerance, and cannot be guaranteed.
The values are based on the noisiest electric motors
that are likely to be encountered. They represent
sound pressure levels at 1 m (3.3 ft) from the directly
driven pump, for "free field over a reflecting plane".
If a pump unit only has been purchased, for fitting
with your own driver, then the "pump only" noise
levels from the table should be combined with the
level for the driver obtained from the supplier. If the
motor is driven by an inverter, it may show an
increase in noise level at some speeds. Consult a
Noise Specialist for the combined calculation.
For units driven by equipment other than electric
motors or units contained within enclosures, see the
accompanying information sheets and manuals.
Typical sound pressure level, dBA (LpA at 1 m reference 20μPa)
). The
pfA
Motors in this range are generally job specific and noise levels should be calculated based on actual equipment installed.
For 960 rpm reduce 1450 rpm values by 5 dBA.
