Required NPSH values

The following table lists the required NPSH values during operation with a low-volatile liquid such as lubricating oil or
hydraulic liquid. When liquids have readily volatile component content, the required NPSH values increase notably:
□ Fuel oil requires an NPSH value of at least 6 mWC.
□ When the pumped liquid contains water (e.g. heavy fuel oil), the values in the table have to be increased by the vapor
pressure of the water at the specified operating temperature.
The required NPSH values also need to be increased if there are gas contents, regardless of whether it is dissolved or not. In
case of any doubt, please contact KRAL.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Structure
Fig. 3 Structure of CL-pump
1 Overflow valve 4 Counter flange 7 Heating system

2 Suction housing 5 Bearing A Flow direction
3 Accessory 6 Shaft seal B Direction of rotation
Screw pumps are rotating displacement pumps whose displacement effect results from the meshing of three rotating screws
and the enclosing housing. The radial support of the screws is effected by the sliding contact in the housing which requires
lubrication by the pumped liquid. Screw pumps are therefore not suitable for dry running and can only be used up to specific
pressure and viscosity limits. Due to the narrow tolerances, pumping of suspended solids is not possible.
Axial support of the main screw is carried out by a ball bearing. Different shaft seals are available for sealing the main screw
at the outlet from the housing. In order to reduce the pressure at the shaft seal a balancing cylinder is mounted at the main
screw. The sealing chamber is connected to the suction chamber through a relief line. An internal overflow valve protects
against excessive pressure that could cause housing parts to burst.
Standard direction of rotation: clockwise, seen from the drive

Flow direction: marked on the housing by an arrow

Overflow valve
Fig. 4 Overflow valve mounting position Fig. 5 Suction housing without overflow valve
twistable by 90° in either direction
1 Screw plug
2 Adjusting screw
The integrated overflow valve prevents very high pressures which can result in housing parts bursting. The valve is purely
there as a safety element and should not be used for control or regulation such as maintaining pressure. If the valve is kept
open for too long under adverse operating conditions (high differential pressures and/or low viscosities) it will only take a few
minutes for the valve and the valve seating to become damaged. As a result, the valve will leak permanently and there will be
a corresponding reduction in the delivery rate. In addition to this, circulation through the overflow valve for too long heats the
pump to excess. This reduces viscosity and can ultimately lead to pump failure.
Factory settings:
□ 110 % of the nominal pressure
The valve is accessible via a screw plug 1 and can be adjusted from the outside, see "Adjusting the overflow valve".
► With pumps without overflow valve we recommend to install an external valve to protect the system from
overpressure.

HEATING SYSTEM
The pumps can be equipped optionally with a heating system. We recommend heating systems for high-viscosity liquids that
do not flow sufficiently if not heated. This can result in excessive power consumption or to problems arising through
cavitation or sealing.

TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Unpacking and checking the state of delivery

3. Upon delivery unpack the pump/pump unit and check for transportation damage.
4. Report any transportation damage immediately to the manufacturer.
5. Dispose of packing materials in accordance with the locally applicable regulations.
Lifting the pump/pump unit
DANGER
Risk of injury and/or damage to equipment should the pump/pump unit fall.
► Use intact and correctly dimensioned hoisting equipment.
► Secure motors additionally against tilting.
► Do not stand under raised loads.
Storage
During the test run, the internal components of the pump are wetted with test oil, which has a preservative effect. The pipe
connections are fitted with protective caps. Unless otherwise specified, the external components of the pump are preserved
with single-coat PU-based two-component paint. The preservative applied at the factory will protect the pump for about six
weeks, if it is stored in a dry and clean location. KRAL offers a long-term preservation for storage times of up to 60 months.
With long-term preservation the pump is additionally packed in hermetically sealing anti-corrosion paper.
Preservation
Preservation has to be carried out in the following cases:
□ For standard delivery: For storage periods exceeding six weeks and in case of adverse storage conditions such as
high humidity, salty air, etc.
□ For delivery with long-term preservation: If the packaging has been opened or damaged.
Preserving the internal surfaces of the pump
1. Close the suction-side of the pump with a cover flange.
2. Pour non-corrosive, resin-free oil into the pressure flange. Do not fill the pump completely but rather leave
an empty space of approx. 2 cm.
3. Close the pressure-side pump connection with a cover flange.
4. After about six months storage check the oil level in the pump and top up if necessary.
Preserving the external surfaces of the pump

Aids:
□ Preservative (e.g. Castrol Rustilo DWX 33)
1. Paint or spray the preservative onto all plain and unpainted parts.
2. At intervals of about six months, check the preservative effect and if necessary repeat preservation.

OPERATION
Commissioning
Observe the following instructions:
□ The pump may only be commissioned by authorized qualified personnel.

□ Wear protective clothing during all the work on the pump.
Cleaning the pipe system

To protect the pump against particle contamination the complete pipe system has to be cleaned carefully before initial
commissioning. If the pipe system is to be rinsed using the pump, an additional commissioning filter has to be installed
before the pump.
Mesh width of the commissioning filter:

□ 0.02 mm
CAUTION
Damage to the pump through additional pressure loss in the commissioning filter.
► Calculate the flow resistance and determine the remaining suction capacity.
► Monitor the suction-side pressure.
► Check and clean the commissioning filter regularly.
► Recommended operating duration for rinsing with commissioning filter: 50 – 100 hours.
Filling the pump

Before commissioning, pipeline and pump must be filled (for example, by filling the system out of a higher mounted tank).
Filling the system by suction effect of the pump is not allowed! Because of the missing lubrication/cooling of the mechanical
seal and the screws it is possible that after a few seconds of dry running the seal and/or the pump can be destroyed.
Checking the direction of rotation
The direction of rotation of the motor must correspond with the direction of rotation arrow on the pump. The direction of
rotation of the motor gives the direction of rotation of the pump. That is to say, the fan impeller of the motor must rotate in the
direction in which the arrow on the pump is pointing to indicate direction of rotation.
□ Standard direction of rotation: clockwise, viewed from the drive
CAUTION
Dry running can damage pump equipment.
► Ensure that the pump is filled properly.
► Switch the pump on for a maximum of 1 second and then off again immediately.
1. Switch on the power supply and then turn if off again immediately.
2. Compare the direction of rotation of the fan impeller with the arrow indicating direction of rotation. If the
directions do not match, swap over two electrical connection phases. Repeat Steps 1 and 2.

Commissioning the pump

Prerequisites:
□ Pump set up and mounted correctly
□ Motor connected correctly
□ Coupling protection mounted
□ Pipe system is free of contamination
□ Commissioning filter mounted, if the pipe system is to be cleaned with the pump
□ Pump is filled
□ Any stopcocks in the suction and pressure line are open
WARNING
Danger of injury through rotating parts.
► Ensure that the coupling protection is mounted.
WARNING
Danger of injury through squirting pumped liquid.
► Wear protective clothing during all the work.
► Ensure that all the connections are connected sealingly.
CAUTION
Dry running can damage pump equipment.
► Ensure that the pump is filled properly.
► If the pump does not deliver after 10 – 15 seconds, abort commissioning.
1. Switch on the pump.

The pump will deliver when the pressure on the pressure side of the pump rises or system-side flow
indicator triggers.
2. If the pump does not deliver after 10 – 15 seconds, abort commissioning and establish the cause of the
fault.
3. Run the pump for a few minutes to allow the pipe system to vent fully.
The pipe system is fully vented when there is a smooth operating noise and a pressure gauge on the
pressure side of the pump shows no more fluctuations.

MAINTENANCE
Safety instructions on maintenance and repairs
The following safety instructions must be observed during all the work:
► All the work may only be carried out by authorized qualified personnel.
► Switch off the motor and secure it against being switched back on.
► Before carrying out any work let the pump cool down to the ambient temperature and remove it from the
pipe system.
► Ensure that the pump is depressurized.
► During all the work on the pump/pump unit also observe the exploded views/sectional drawings.
Required maintenance
The service life of the pump depends to a great extent on the operating conditions. If the operating limits are observed, see
"TECHNICAL DATA", the pump has a service life of many years.
Signs of progressive wear of individual pump elements:
Finding Cause Elimination

Increased running noises Incipient damage to bearing Replace the bearing.
Increased leaking Incipient damage to seal Replace the shaft seal.
Deposits on the seal Non-volatile liquids Clean the seal.

Advanced wear of the coupling Replace the coupling intermediate
Increased play in the shaft coupling

housing
conditions
Tab. 10 Check table for required maintenance
1. Check the pump visually and acoustically every 4 weeks.

2. Check for signs of wear as listed in the table above and eliminate the cause.
Mechanical seal
Mechanical seals are subject to a natural wear that depends strongly on the respective conditions of use. General
statements about the durability can therefore not be given.
In case of heavy pollution with solidified and/or sticky leakage residues we recommend to disassemble the mechanical seal
completely and carefully clean it, together with the inner surfaces of the seal housing.
Ball bearing
In case of inside bearing the used ball bearings are lubricated by the pumped liquid, in case of outside bearing they are
lifetime lubricated. Maintenance is therefore not required. We recommend renewing the ball bearings every 20000 operating
hours.
