service and safety instructions issued by the
plant operator are to be observed.
1.5 Safety instructions relevant for
operation
o If hot or cold machine components involve
hazards, they must be guarded by the user
against accidental contact.
Guards for moving parts (e.g. couplings) must
not be removed from the machine while
operation.
Any leakage of hazardous (e.9. explosive,
toxic, hot) fluids (e.9. from the shaft seal) must
be drained away so as to prevent any risk
occurring to persons or the environment.
Statutory regulations are to be complied with.
Hazards resulting from electricity are to be
precluded by the user (see for example the
VDE-specifications and the bye-laws of the
local power supply utilities).
1.6 Safety instructions relevant for
maintenanGe, inspection and
assembly work
It shall be the plant operator's responsibility to
ensure that all maintenance, inspection and
assembly work is performed by authorised
personnel who have adequately familiarised
themselves with the subject matter by studying
this manual in detail.
Any work on the machine shall only be performed
when it is at a standstill. lt is imperative that the
procedure for shutting down the machine
described in this manual is to be followed.
Pumps and pump units which convey hazardous
media must be decontaminated. ' Coupling guards which shall be used in areas
on completion of work all safety and protective
facilities must be re-installed and made operative
again. Prior to re-starting the machine, the

instructions listed under ,,first commissioning" are
to be observed.
1.7 Safety instructions for the use
in
areas with explosion hazard
in
ln this paragraph information are given for an
operation in areas with explosion hazard.
1.7 .1 Arrangement of the units
If the pump is completed with other mechanical
or electrical components to one unit, the
complete unit may be considered only as device
category according to the directive 94l9lEC
which is fulfilled by all used components.
Note:
This instruction gets special meaning when using
pumps which are corresponding to a device
category according to the directive 94l9lEC,
however, are driven by a motor which does not
meet these criteria. Then it might be that the
pump has been provided with the EX-sign but the
unit must not be used in areas with explosion
hazard due to the non EX-admitted motor. So the
operator has always to pay attention to the
conformity with the directive 94l9lEC of all used
components of the pump unit.
1.7.2 Execution of coupling guards

2.0 lntended application 2,3 Design and Operation

The pump is to be used exclusively in
accordance with the operating conditions
supplied by the buyer and confirmed by the
supplier. Guarantee is undertaken within the
scope of our sales and delivery conditions.
The intended application as required can be
CENST-D pumps are horizontal, single-stage
volute casing pumps to D|N242561EN22858 and
are particularly suited for handling hot water up to
185eQ. Sealing is effected by an uncooled
mechanical seal. These pumps have the following
features :

extracted from the data sheet appended.
2.1 Warning of breakdown
o Do not touch hot pumps
a The pump must only be used for the
application indicated in the data sheet. Failure
to do so could endanger personnel and the
environment.
ATTENTION
The pump must not be exposed to temperature
shock. Never spray a hot pump with cold liquid
The density indicated in the data sheet must
not be exceeded. Failure to do so could
overload the motor.
The pump must not be operated outside its
curve. This could result in cavitation and
damage to the motor.
2.2 Accessories
Accessories supplied with the pump are shown in
the data sheet appended. The associated
operating and installation instructions are also to
be found in the appendix.
lf it is intended to fit other parts or accessories,
please advise Fa. Robert Franz e.K..
o The double heat seal facilitates an optimal
energy balance for the pump and reduces the
temperature level to less than 100eQ in the
mechanica! seal area without any external
cooling.The life of the mechanical seal is
perceptibly increased.
o By means of a special design, accumulations
of gas in the mechanical seal area are
handled separately for venting and therefore
dry-running of the mechanical is no Ionger a
problem.
o The programme consists of 29 different sizes
guaranteeing an optimum solution at every
operating point
o The design allows dismantling of the
complete bearing assembly without having to
remove the volute casing from the pipework.
Furthermore, by using a spacer coupling,
removal of the motor becomes unnecessary.
Foreign particles up to a size of 0.1 mm can be
handled, but the service life of the pump will be
reduced accordlingly.
Details of the pump supplied are to be found in
the data sheet appended.

3.0 Planning of the installation 3.1 .1 Suction line / inflow line

The suction line must ascend to the pump. The
3.1 Piping system inflow Iine must slightly descend to the pump.

ATTENTION

Pay attention to the arrows on the pump

branches indicating the direction of flow.
Choose nominal widths of the pipelines
according to the nominal widths of the pump positive suction head operation suction lift operation

branches or larger ones with the

corresponding reductions (see data sheet).
Flange sealings must not protrude to
inside.
Ensure that the pipelines are cleaned before
the installation of the pump.
Support the pipelines in order to avoid
distortions at the pump parts (hazard of
breaking of pump parts).
Avoid abrupt changes of cross section and
direction.
Unequal nominal widths are to
compensated by eccentric transition pieces.
Thus the formation of air pockets in the
pipeline is avoided.
ln case of ditficult pumping conditions at
suction side a flow normalizer, length 15 times
the diameter of the suction branch, has to be
provided before the suction branch.
The flow velocity in the suction line or inflow
line, respectively, must not exceed2 - 3 m/s.
Ensure that air pockets cannot be built. Unequal
the nominal widths of suction branch and suction line
must be compensated by eccentric transition
pieces.

It is recommended to instal! a filter in front of the
pump with a filter surface of at least 3 times the
pipe cross section (approx. 100 meshes/cm').
3.1 .2 Discharge line
For the flow regulation a gate is to be installed
behind the pump. lf non-return elements are
used, they should close smoothly. Pressure
shocks are to be avoided.

3.1.3 Pressure control

For the methodical pressure control it is
recommended to install at the pipelines cl

pump and motor so that they are level without
inducing any stress. The shaft ends must be
aligned centrally with each other. The distance

When using other manufacturers' couplings,
observe their instructions. After assembling on
the baseplate and connecting the pipework, the
