8. Noise level
7.2 Storage
Frost protection is required at temperatures
below 2°C. Danfoss recommends to use DOW-
FROST from DOW Chemical Company or Chilsafe
mono propylene glycol from Arco Chemical
Company.
The table indicates the approximate noise level
in dB(A) measured at a distance of 1 m from the
pump in a reverberation room.

Generally, noise will be reduced if speed is
reduced and vice versa. Use exible hoses in
order to minimize vibrations and noise.
Since the pump is typically mounted on a bell
housing or frame, the noise level must be
determined for the complete unit (system).
It is therefore very important that the motor/
pump unit is mounted correctly on a frame with
antivibration isolation to minimize vibrations and
noise.
The noise level is inuenced by:
• The speed of the pump, high rpm create
more noise than low rpm
• Rigid mounting of the pump generates
more noise than exible mounting
• Pipe mounting direct to the pump
increases the noise level compared to a
exible hose
9. Filtration As water has very low viscosity, the APP pumps
have been designed with very narrow clearance
in order to control internal leakage rates and
improve component performance. Therefore it is
important that the inlet water is ltered properly
to minimize the wear of the pump.
The main lter must have a ltration eciency of
99.98% at 10 μm. We recommend to use precision
depth lter cartridges rated 10μm abs. ß10>5000
(equivalent to a ltration eciency of 99.98%).
Bag lters and string wound lter cartridges
typically have only 50% ltration eciency. This
means that for each 100,000 particles reaching
the lter, 50,000 particles pass through it
compared to only 20 particles in a lter with an
eciency of 99.98%.
For more information on the importance of
proper ltration, please consult our publication
“Filtration” (code number 521B1009), which also
will provide you with an explanation of ltration
denitions and a guidance on how to select the
right lter.
Storage temperature:
-40°C to +70°C (+40°F to 158°F) provided that
the pump is drained of uid and stored
”plugged”.
