3.7.3 Influences
The real sound level of the pump unit can for several reasons deviate from the values listed in the
tables above.
• Noiseproductiondecreaseswhenpumpinghighviscosityliquidsduetobetterlubricatingand
damping properties. Moreover the resistance torque of the idler is increasing due to higher liquid
friction which results in lower vibration amplitude.
• Noiseproductionincreaseswhenpumpinglowviscosityliquidscombinedwithlowworking
pressure because the idler can move freely (lower charge, lower liquid friction) and the liquid
does not dampen much.
• Vibrationsinpiping,vibratingofthebaseplateetc.willmaketheinstallationproducemorenoise.
3.8 Maximum and minimum allowable temperature
The maximum allowable temperature of the pumped medium is 260°C but the temperature limits
must be considered depending on the material used for the idler bearing bush, O-ring material and
material of the permanent magnets used in the magnetic coupling. The minimum allowable tempera-
ture is -20° for cast iron and -40°C for stainless steel casing parts.
3.9 Jacket options
S-jackets are designed for use with saturated steam or with non-dangerous media. They are
provided with cylindrical threaded connections according to ISO 228-I.
Maximum temperature: 200°C
Maximum pressure: 10 bar
T-jackets are designed for use with thermal oil and apply to the DIN4754 safety standard for
thermal oil transfer. This DIN standard specifies flange connections for temperature from 50°C
upwards and jackets of ductile material for temperature from 200°C upwards. Both are provided
in the T-design.
T-jackets could also be used for over heated steam or more dangerous media.
The flanges have a special shape with welding neck based on PN16 dimensions.
Maximum temperature: 260°C
Maximum pressure at 260°C: 12 bar
