Recommended installation

Installation and operation

In general, the pump has to be connected load free. Neglecting this causes leakage and maybe even

damages. To avoid vibrations, pulsation dampers and compensators are recommended. Before connecting

the pump, take the yellow blind plugs out of the suction and discharge connections [4,6] as well as the air

inlet [23].

To facilitate the installation and maintenance shut off valves should be installed right before and after the

pump. The nominal width of the connection pipes has to be chosen in accordance to the connections of the

pump. A smaller piping can cause cavitation (suction line) as well as a loss of performance (suction and

discharge line). In case the pipe is too big, the dry suction capacity of the pump can decrease. Connect the

suction line to the lower manifold [4]. Hosepipes should be suitably armoured. A suction line continuously

rising will prevent the formation of air locks in the line which would affect the suction lift. The discharge line

has to be connected to the upper manifold [4].

The air inlet [23] is located in the middle of the center block [20]. Before installation, make sure that the air

supply pipe is free of solids. To supply the pump with driving air sufficiently, the pipe diameter should match

the size of the air inlet. Take care that no dirt or particles can intrude into the pump during the connection,

as these can accumulate inside the pump and can cause malfunctions. An air filter [22] directly behind the

air inlet [23] prevents the entry of bulk particles.

The integrated air control system PERSWING P

[22] is a precision-control that requires oil-free, dry and

clean compressed air for optimal function. If humidity is expected, a water separator or air dryer has to be

fitted to protect the pump from blocking by ice. The ideal condition is the dewpoint of air at -20°C. In humid

surroundings, icing from the outside may occur despite the driving air is dried. If so, a prolonged waste-air-

exhaust (ca. 500 mm by pipe or hose) can be helpful. When installing the pump into boards or cabinets, it

has to be ensured that cold air does not get caught behind the muffler.

The pressure of the driving air has to be limited to the amount required to meet the performance needed.

Excessive pressure increases both the air consumption and the wear of the pump. The pump is regulated

by tuning the flow rate of the air. An empty pump has to be driven slowly (e.g. via a needle-valve). The

pump starts automatically. Pumps of the BIOCOR series are self-priming when dry, thus it is not necessary

to fill the suction line of the pump. The suction lift capacity of a liquid-filled pump, however, is much higher.

The pump is appropriate for running dry during slow operation. Dry running at high stroke frequency causes
