2 Safety Notes

WARNING

• Explosion-proof pump only: it is essential that you observe the contents of section 9!

• Immediately switch off the pump in case of emergency! Use the power switch on
the pump or an emergency switch in your immediate operating environment!

• Pumps for radioactive medium must not be shipped through standard channels!

• Observe applicable national regulations for installation abroad!

CAUTION

• Do not obstruct or block access areas!
Pumps must be accessible at all times to facilitate operation and maintenance.

• Only specially trained and authorized persons are permitted to carry out maintenance
and repairs on metering pumps and their periphery!

• Always depressurize the liquid end first before carrying out any work on the pump!

• If hazardous or unknown metering media are used, discharge and flush the liquid end
before carrying out any work on the pump!

• Observe safety specifications for liquid metered media! Corresponding protection and
emergency measures must be implemented prior to initial operation.

• Always wear protective clothing (safety goggles, gloves,...) when handling hazardous or
unknown liquid media! This applies particularly when working on the liquid end!

• Do not use parts which have not been tested and approved by ProMinent for assembly of
ProMinent
property, for which no liability will be accepted!

• Install safety devices in the system, e.g. overflow valves!

4.2 Notes on Installation on Intake Side

NOTE

Avoid the intake line running empty:

• Install foot valve at end of intake line when the pump is higher than the max. liquid level

in the intake tank.

• The calculated size h (see diagram) must not be greater than the specified pump

suction head divided by the density of the delivered medium.

• Use short intake line and avoid thin-walled hoses.

NOTE

Connect intake line to tank slightly above the base of the tank.

IMPORTANT

Provide suitable means for retaining impurities!
Otherwise they can cause faults in the pump and system!
E.g. install a dirt trap (mesh size 100–400 µm depending on medium and type of metering
pump).

NOTE

Install pump with inlet on intake side for gas-emitting media.

NOTE

Intake via siphon line for high-level tanks without connection facilities at base of tank:

• Install filler facility for siphon line (intake line).

• Observe acceleration pressures due to the longer intake line.

4.3 Notes on Installation on Delivery Side

IMPORTANT

Do not exceed permissible nominal pressure! Otherwise the pump may be damaged!

Provide an overpressure facility if the permissible pressure in the pump head can be
exceeded, e.g. by closing a shut-off element or a blockage in the line:

• Install overflow valve in the delivery line or

• use an overflow valve integrated in the pump housing (depending on type, refer to
data sheet of the type of pump used).

The following points must be observed with regard to the overflow line when using an
overflow valve:

• Route the overflow line with a drop into the supply tank under atmospheric pressure
or into an open runoff channel.

• Connect the overflow line to the intake line, however, only if there is no check valve in
the intake line.

IMPORTANT

Do not use a non-return check valve on the intake side for the overflow return as it may
cause the intake line to tear off.

IMPORTANT

Cut off the return flow from the main line!
Otherwise unwanted mixing in the metering line can occur.

• Install the metering valve at the injection point.

IMPORTANT

Dampen pulsation by installing pulsation dampers if

• low-pulsation delivery flow is required for process reasons;

• acceleration forces have to be reduced due to the geometry of the piping system.

Page 10

The following can occur if acceleration forces are not dampened

• Fluctuations in delivery, metering faults, pressure surges, valve knocking and wear
as a result of cavitation on the intake and delivery side of the pump.

• Mechanical destruction of pump, leakages and knocking of valves as a result of the
permissible maximum pressure being exceeded on the pump delivery side.

IMPORTANT

Avoid overloading by positive pressure difference between delivery side and intake side:

• Install end of delivery line higher than the liquid level in the intake tank.

or:

• Install the discharge line outlet of the pump such that its position is higher than the

level of liquid in the chemical storage tank

or:

• Install pressure control valves in the pump delivery line.

IMPORTANT

Ensure constant pressure in the intake line!

Irregular pump flow can occur if the pressure from the take-off line or the intake tank
is transmitted.

• Ensure constant supply height when pump intake is from pressurized lines!

Other important considerations for dosing pumps in ex-zones

ATTENTION

Because of electrostatical flammable

danger, use damp cloth only to wipe

off plastic parts !

9 Other important considerations for dosing pumps in ex-zones

9.1 Application in accordance with regulations

• In areas of operation where there is a risk of explosion, the pump may only be operated with

the appropriate nameplate and the corresponding EU declaration of conformity for areas of
operation where there is a risk of explosion in accordance with directive 94/9/EU concordant
with the European directives. The explosion group, category and protection system stated
on the label must be equivalent to or better than the conditions specified in the designated
area of application.

• Any other application or modification is prohibited!

• Pumps which do not have the appropriate nameplate and the corresponding EU declaration

of conformity for areas of operation where there is a risk of explosion may under no
circumstances be operated in areas of operation where there is a risk of explosion.

9.2 Safety instructions

WARNING

• When installing and operating equipment in ex-zones in Europe, you must observe the

European directive 99/92/EU (ATEX 137). In Germany this is incorporated within the
occupational safety regulations and German regulations on hazardous materials.

•You must observe the European standards EN 1127-1, EN 60079-10, EN 60079-14, EN

60079-17 as well as EN 50020 and EN 50039 for intrinsically safe electrical circuits. (In
Germany, these standards are partly covered by VDE 0165 and VDE 0118.)

• For countries outside the EU, you should observe the appropriate national directives.

• Installations in ex-zones must be checked by a “recognised qualified” person. This

particularly applies to intrinsically safe electrical circuits.

• The information detailed below chiefly refers to particular features found in ex-zones. It does

not replace the standard information in the operating instructions manual!

• When cleaning plastic components, you should ensure that no electrostatic charge is

created through excessive friction. - see warning sign

9.2.1 Safety equipment

WARNING

• Please adhere to the following safety instructions for pumps containing non-

9.2.2 EU declaration of conformity / certification

The EU declaration of conformity is attached for the whole pump (also for pumps without
motors).

The EU declarations of conformity, EU design inspection reports and the operating instructions
manuals for the individual components are attached.

conductive components.

Page 19

Other important considerations for dosing pumps in ex-zones

9.4 Installation, hydraulic

WARNING

• Dosing pumps used in ex-zones must be fitted with an appropriate safety relief valve
on the output side of the dosing pump (serves to protect against overheating resulting
from overloading and arcing due to interruption of drive components as a result of
overloading.)

• Piston dosing pumps are designed for use in temperature class T3. The pumps can be
used in T4 if they are fitted with an additional flow controller on the output side (serves
to protect against a rise in temperature resulting from dry running) or with an
appropriate temperature controller.

• Similarly, dosing pumps whose diaphragm is driven hydraulically must be fitted with a
temperature or flow controller for use in T4. (The internal relief valve protects against
overheating in the event of extended operation.) Without this protection, temperature
class T3 is applicable.

• With different temperature classes being available for different components, the
possible application of the entire pump corresponds to the component with the lowest
temperature class.

• Combustible media may only be extracted using stainless steel dosing heads. In
exceptional circumstances, where stainless steel is not available, PTFE with carbon
can also be used. Our TT designs are manufactured from this conductive synthetic
material. The operator should take special care in this instance due to reduced
mechanical stability.

• Piston dosing pumps may not be used for combustible media. Where it is impossible to
avoid the use of piston pumps, additional control measures should be implemented to
ensure the required level of safety. This includes flow controller + piston leakage
controller, and an additional temperature controller on the dosing head for media with
critical friction characteristics.

• Hydraulic diaphragm pumps are perfectly suitable, however it is compulsory to have
those whose construction includes diaphragm-rupture controller Ex “i” and flow
controller.

• Diaphragm pumps with mechanically linked diaphragm, e.g. Zt. MTMa..., TZMa...,
Sigma’s S1Ba..., S2BaHM..., S3Ba: no additional measures are required, although it is
essential to use the construction with diaphragm-rupture indicator, in the Ex “i”
construction.

• Installations in ex-zones must be checked by a “recognised qualified” person.

• The following applies to all dosing pumps when metering combustible media: Start up
and drain only under the supervision of an appropriately qualified person.

• Observe the relevant national directives with regard to installation!

9.5 Installation, electrical

WARNING

• Zero-volts switches can be rated as simple electrical equipment (EN 60079-14 or

EN 50020).

• Both zero-volts and extra-low voltage circuit-breaking accessories such as diaphragm

–rupture indicator, stroke rate equipment, etc. may only be connected to an intrinsically
safe electrical circuit in ex-zones.

• If several electrical components are connected together, the safety of the entire

connection needs to be tested and confirmed in accordance with safety regulations.
This can be evidenced by means of a declaration of conformity from the supplier
(ProMinent) for the equipment in its entirety, or if components are delivered
individually, by means of a document from the operator confirming the components to
be explosion-proof.

• For electrical components in ex-zones you may only use the approved motor

protection switch, mains switch and fuses in accordance with the manufacturer’s
specifications for the application in the relevant ex-zone!

• Observe the documentation attached for the individual electrical components!

• Observe the relevant national directives with regard to installation!

For hydraulic equipment switches in macro-hydraulic diaphragm dosing pumps
(diaphragm rupture sensor, excess pressure sensor):

These switches may be used in areas where there is a risk of gas explosions, category II 2G.

WARNING

• The switches may only be connected to an intrinsically safe electrical circuit! Only use

switches with a blue connection cable!

• The data in the operating instructions manuals is specific to the design of the switches!

Lower values apply in an intrinsically safe electrical circuit, according to the ex-zone!

NOTE

You may disregard the inductivity and capacity of the cable (cable length less than 10m).

Motor

WARNING

• Drive motors should be protected by a suitable motor protection switch. For Ex”e”

motors you should use a motor protection that has been approved for this application.
(Protection against overheating due to overload)

• Motors may only be installed and checked in ex-zones by a “recognised qualified”

person!

• Observe the attached operating instructions manual for EX motors!

WARNING

• The following applies to all dosing pumps when metering combustible media: Start up

and drain only under the supervision of an appropriately qualified person.

• Combustible media may only be extracted with stainless steel dosing heads. In

exceptional circumstances, where stainless steel is not available, PTFE with carbon
can also be used. Our TT designs are manufactured from conductive synthetic
material. The operator should take special care in this instance due to reduced
mechanical stability.

Other important considerations for dosing pumps in ex-zones

• Piston dosing pumps may not be used for combustible media.
Where it is impossible to avoid the use of piston pumps, additional control measures
should be used to ensure the required level of safety: flow controller + piston leakage
controller, and an additional temperature controller on the dosing head for media with
critical friction characteristics.

• Hydraulic diaphragm pumps are perfectly suitable, however it is compulsory to have
those whose construction includes diaphragm-rupture controller Ex “i” and flow
controller.

• Diaphragm pumps with mechanically linked diaphragm, e.g. MTMa..., TZMa..., Sigma’s
S1Ba..., S2BaHM..., S3Ba: no additional measures are necessary, although it is essenti­al to use the construction with diaphragm-rupture indicator, in the Ex “i”* construction.

• Dosing pumps used in ex-zones must be fitted with an appropriate safety relief valve
on the output side of the dosing pump (serves to protect against overheating resulting
from overloading and arcing due to interruption of drive components as a result of
overloading).

• Piston dosing pumps are designed for use in temperature class T3.

The pumps are suitable for use in T4 if they are fitted with an additional flow controller
on the output side (serves to protect against a rise in temperature resulting from dry
running) or with an appropriate temperature controller.

• Similarly, dosing pumps whose diaphragm is driven hydraulically must be fitted with a
temperature or flow controller for use in T4. (The internal relief valve protects against
overheating in the event of extended operation.) Without this protection, temperature
class T3 is applicable.

• With different temperature classes being available for different components, the
possible application of the entire pump corresponds to the component with the lowest
temperature class.

9.7 Maintenance

WARNUNG

•You should make regular checks (on leakages, noise, temperatures, odours, etc.) to
ensure general regular operation, particularly with regard to the actuator and bearing.

• Do not allow the pump to overheat due to a lack of oil!
For lubricated dosing pumps, you should make regular checks to ensure sufficient
lubricant is present, e.g. by checking the level of lubricant, visual check for leakages,
etc. If oil is leaking, you must locate the point of leakage immediately and eliminate
the cause of the leak.

• Check the regular operation of the relief valve behind the pump!
In the event of a fault in areas of operation where there is a risk of explosion, the relief
valve must prevent the gears from being overloaded and overheating!

• When cleaning plastic components, you should ensure that no electrostatic charge is
created through excessive friction. - see warning sign

• The following applies to all dosing pumps when metering combustible media: Start up
and drain only under the supervision of an appropriately qualified person.

• Expendable parts, such as bearings, must be replaced when there are visible signs of
unacceptable wear. (It is not possible to calculate the nominal service life for lubricated
bearings.)

• Original spare parts must be used as replacements.

• Inspection and repair must be carried out in compliance with DIN EN IEC 60079-17
and should only be done by “experienced personnel with the necessary expertise”
(section 4.2).

• These measures are prescribed by ProMinent as the minimum required for protection.
If the operator is aware of other risks, it is his responsibility to eliminate these by
implementing the appropriate measures.

10.1 Overview and Notes on Accessories

To ensure trouble-free operation of metering systems, not only is correct selection of the
metering pump decisive but also of the individually compiled hydraulic and electrical
accessories. On the following pages, many accessories are illustrated which are not always
necessary but which provide a general overview of the various possibilities.

We would be pleased to be of assistance in selecting the right accessories for your metering
task and e.g. offer our advisory services for calculating the piping system.

10.2 Back pressure valve / relief valve

ProMinent® DHV-DL (DHV-S, DHV-S-DL, DHV-SR, DHV-RM)

Pressure control/overflow valves for installation in metering line:

• Adjustable pressure control valve for installation in metering lines.

• Used to produce a constant backpressure to ensure precision delivery
when metering with free outlet,for admission pressure on intake side, for fluctuating
backpressure or metering to vacuum.

• Also used as safety overflow valve.

• If used as pressure control valve for avoiding resonance:
Installation at end of metering line or set pressure (set pressure / line pressure) loss.

IMPORTANT

Pressure control/overflow valves are shut-off elements which do not close absolutely tight.

The DHV-S, DHV-S-DL series is used in conjunction with pulsation dampers only with free
outlet and a short metering line.

The DHV-SR/RM series is not subject to the effect of backpressure and is therefore particularly
suitable for use in cases of fluctuating backpressure at the pipe outlet and for use in
conjunction with pulsation dampers or longer metering lines. The DHV-SR/RM series can be
installed at any point along the metering line.

Type DHV-RM 1-10 bar

왘 Remove protective cap.

왘 Prior to pump operation:

Unscrew pressure setting screw for pressure relief until it turns easily.

왘 During pump operation: Produce required operating pressure by turning in pressure setting

screw:
Read off set pressure at pressure gauge installed in pipe system.

왘 Secure pressure setting screw:

왘 Tighten lock nut.

왘 At required pressure relief, release lock nut and unscrew pressure setting screw until it

moves easily.

10.3 Pulsation Dampers

Pulsation dampers are often used in conjunction with oscillatory displacement pumps.
They are necessary when:

• Low-pulsation flow is required, for example, for process reasons.

• Depending on the piping situation, it is necessary to reduce impermissibly high pressure
peaks during operation of oscillatory displacement pumps or pressure loss must
be avoided; in this case, it is necessary to use pulsation dampers both on the intake
side as well as the delivery side.

Function

Their function is based on compression and expansion of a gas cushion in order to release
energy.
As the pressure increases, a part of the medium to be delivered is stored and then released to
the pipe network as the pressure decreases.

In principle, a differentiation is made between pulsation dampers with and without a separating
diaphragm.

In pulsation dampers without a separating diaphragm (e.g. air tank), the medium has direct
contact with the gas cushion which is formed by feeding in compressed air. After start-up, the
compressed air is compressed to the damping volume. Since the compressed air is gradually
released in the medium, venting is necessary from time to time with the system depressurized.

This disadvantage is avoided by using pulsation dampers with a separating diaphragm.
In this case, the damping gas cushion is separated from the delivered medium by a flexible
diaphragm and thus protected from absorption.

Installation

IMPORTANT

Observe the regulations valid at the place of installation prior to initial operation and
during operation of pulsation dampers!

The Pressure Vessel Ordinance (Druckbeh.V.) is applicable in the Federal Republic of
Germany.

ProMinent

ProMinent

®

®

IMPORTANT

Pulsation dampers can only fulfil their task of damping pressure peaks and pulses if they
are installed correctly.

• Integrate pulsation dampers in the system so that they are well accessible and free

of vibration!

• Install pulsation damper in the immediate vicinity of the point where pressure peaks

are to be dampened. For metering pumps this means installation at the shortest
possible distance after the head valve of the liquid end (or immediately before the
intake valve if a suction-air vessel is installed).

• Install connection line straight and corresponding to the connection diameter of the

pulsation damper in order to avoid unnecessary deflection and pipe friction losses.

IMPORTANT

Do not use oxygen for preloading diaphragm-type pulsation dampers (or bubble accu­mulators) for air or nitrogen!

The greatest efficiency of pulsation dampers is achieved when the preload pressure is approx.
60–80 % of the subsequent mean operating pressure.

If the pulsation damper is not equipped with a pressure gauge, it is recommended to check the
preload pressure (pv):

• After 500 hours of operation.

• Before resuming operation after a prolonged downtime.

A regular check every three months is recommended.
