PFD1/PFS1 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

IV.4 – Applications

The PFD/PFS pump is a volumetric pump. The stroke volume is dependent on the flow rate and discharge pressure.

In order to know the precise flow rate of the pump, a paddle wheel flow transmitter can be fitted on outlet. For PFD1/PFS1 the part number of the flow transmitter is DP11013.

Part number marked K (PFD1 210K or PFS1 210K) indicates that the pump will be supplied with KALREZ® manifold (P/N 2745K, Mark G) and body O.rings (P/N 2739K, Mark H).

PFS1 pumps are equipped with valve seats without lip (P/N 2711A, Mark I) and bellows with rounded spires (P/N 2613S, Mark F) in order to pump abrasive products (slurry).

Common applications are:

Semiconductor Industry:Transfer of ultrapure and corrosive chemicals. Pump filter recirculation systems.

Pharmaceuticals and Chemicals: Chemical injection and sampling.

IV.5 – Limitations of use

The standard pumping speed of the PFD1/PFS1 is about 135 strokes/min.

The following should NOT be part of the system:

Do not connect the pump inlet or outlet with air, nitrogen or liquid under pressure,

Lubricated and/or wet air/ nitrogen,

Air supply tubing greater than 3/32” (2.5 mm) ID,

Air line length between the pump and control valve less than 10 feet (3 m) and more than 20 feet (6 m),

Air pressure less than 29 PSI (2 bar) or greater than 72.5 PSI (5 bar),

Inlet connection less than 3/8” (9 mm) ID,

Restricted suction side (valves, filters...),

Exceed the recommended liquid temperatures,

Pumping too viscous or abrasive liquids.

Any of the above may be detrimental to the normal operation and life expectancy of the pump and may invalidate the warranty.

If the pump is being used with very corrosive chemicals or if it is left for extended periods not in use, we recommend the system is emptied and flushed.

V – Maintenance

V.1 – Trouble Shooting

If the pump stops for any reason check:

The air/nitrogen supply,

That all valves in the chemical lines are open.

Before dismantling the pump, ensure the shuttle valve is in the correct position. Depress the manual override on the shuttle valve (P/N 2701, Mark A) to re-position the shuttle.
