Maximum coolant temperatures may need to be reduced if Glycol or other coolants are used dependent on the
dilution and type.

Pump
Characteristics
Minimum flow rate required
*
*
All GXS dry pumping systems have a valved cooling system which will cause coolant flow rate to vary in
response to pump load conditions. Table 12 states the "minimum flow rate required" under worst case pump
load conditions, when all valves are open. Flow rates need to be increased and/or coolant temperatures
reduced if Glycol or other coolants are used dependent on the dilution and type.
† The differential pressure values given are the minimum differential pressures required across the water
supply / return at the point of connection to the pump to achieve the desired flow when the solenoid
valves are open.
