(ðSection2.2,Page8)
2.9 Explosion protection
!
DANGER
Always observe the information on explosion protection given in this section when
operating the product in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Only pumps/pump sets marked as explosion-proof and identified as such in the data
sheet may be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Special conditions apply to the operation of explosion-proof pump sets to EU
Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX).
Especially adhere to the sections in this manual marked with the symbol opposite and
the following sections, (ðSection2.9.1,Page10) to (ðSection2.9.4,Page11)
The explosion-proof status of the pump set is only assured if the pump set is used in
accordance with its intended use.
Never operate the pump set outside the limits stated in the data sheet and on the
name plate.
Prevent impermissible modes of operation at all times.
2.9.1 Marking
Pump The marking on the pump refers to the pump part only.
Example of such marking:
II 2 G c TX (EN 13463-1) or II 2G Ex h IIC T5-T1 Gb (ISO 80079-36)
Refer to the individual Temperature Limits table for the temperatures permitted for
the individual pump variants. (ðSection2.9.2,Page10)
The pump complies with the requirements of type of protection constructional safety
"c" to ISO80079-37.
Shaft coupling An EC manufacturer's declaration is required for the shaft coupling; the shaft
coupling must be marked accordingly.
Motor The motor must be considered separately.
2.9.2 Temperature limits
In normal pump operation, the highest temperatures are to be expected on the
surface of the pump casing and at the shaft seal.
The surface temperature at the pump casing corresponds to the temperature of the
fluid handled. If the pump is heated in addition, the operator of the system is
responsible for observing the specified temperature class and fluid temperature
(operating temperature).
The table below lists the temperature classes and the resulting theoretical
temperature limits of the fluid handled (a potential temperature rise in the shaft seal
area has been taken into account).
The temperature class specifies the maximum permissible temperature at the surface
of the pump set during operation. For the permissible operating temperature of the
pump in question refer to the data sheet.

with the manufacturer
If the pump is to be operated at a higher temperature, the data sheet is missing or if
the pump is part of a pool of pumps, contact KSB for the maximum permissible
operating temperature.
Motor supplied by the
operator
If a pump is supplied without motor (as part of a pool of pumps), the motor specified
in the pump data sheet must meet the following conditions:
▪ The permissible temperature limits at the motor flange and motor shaft must be
higher than the temperatures generated by the pump.
▪ Contact the manufacturer for the actual pump temperatures.
2.9.3 Monitoring equipment
The pump (set) must only be operated within the limits specified in the data sheet
and on the name plate.
If the system operator cannot warrant compliance with these operating limits,
appropriate monitoring devices must be used.
Check whether monitoring equipment is required to ensure that the pump set
functions properly.
Contact KSB for further information about monitoring equipment.
2.9.4 Operating limits
The minimum flows indicated in (ðSection6.2.5.1,Page35) refer to water and
water-like fluids handled. Longer operating periods with these fluids and at the flow
rates indicated will not cause an additional increase in the temperatures at the pump
surface. However, if the physical properties of the fluids handled are different from
water, it is essential to check whether an additional heat build-up may occur and if
the minimum flow rate must therefore be increased. The calculation formula in
(ðSection6.2.5.1,Page35) can be used to check whether additional heat build-up
may lead to a dangerous temperature increase at the pump surface.

Design The pump is designed with an axial fluid inlet and a radial outlet. The hydraulic
system is rigidly connected to the motor via a stub shaft.
Function The fluid enters the pump via a suction nozzle (6) and is accelerated outward in a
radial flow by the rotating impeller (7). The flow profile of the pump casing converts
the kinetic energy of the fluid into pressure energy. The fluid is pumped to the
discharge nozzle (2), where it leaves the pump. The clearance gap (1) prevents any
fluid from flowing back from the casing into the inlet. The hydraulic system is closed
with a casing cover (3) at the rear side of the impeller; the shaft (4) enters the casing
via the casing cover (3). The shaft passage through the casing cover is sealed to
atmosphere with a dynamic shaft seal (8). The shaft runs in rolling element bearings
(10 and 11), which are supported by a motor housing (5) linked with the pump casing
and/or casing cover via a drive lantern.
Sealing The pump is sealed by a standardised mechanical seal (option: two mechanical seals
in tandem arrangement).
