3.2 Storage and preservation
If commissioning is to take place some time after delivery, we recommend that the
following measures be taken for pump (set) storage.
CAUTION
Damage during storage by humidity, dirt, or vermin
Corrosion/contamination of the pump (set)!
▷ For outdoor storage cover the pump (set) or the packaged pump (set) and
accessories with waterproof material.
CAUTION
Wet, contaminated or damaged openings and connections
Leakage or damage to the pump set!
▷ Only remove caps/covers from the openings of the pump set at the time of
installation.
Store the pump (set) in a dry, protected room where the atmospheric humidity is as
constant as possible.
Rotate the shaft by hand once a month, e.g. via the motor fan.
If properly stored indoors, the pump set is protected for a maximum of 12 months.
New pumps/pump sets are supplied by our factory duly prepared for storage.
For storing a pump (set) which has already been operated, observe the instructions in
(⇨ Section 6.3.1 Page 45) .
3.3 Return to supplier
1. Drain the pump as per operating instructions. (⇨ Section 7.3 Page 50)
2.
Always flush and clean the pump, particularly if it has been used for handling
noxious, explosive, hot or other hazardous fluids.
3. If the fluids handled by the pump leave residues which might lead to corrosion
damage when coming into contact with atmospheric humidity, or which might
ignite when coming into contact with oxygen, the pump set must also be
neutralised, and anhydrous gas must be blown through the pump for drying
purposes.
4. Always complete and enclose a certificate of decontamination when returning
the pump (set). (⇨ Section 11 Page 76)
Always indicate the safety and decontamination measures taken.
NOTE
If required, a blank certificate of decontamination can be downloaded from the KSB web
site at: www.ksb.com/certificate_of_decontamination
