Faults
04/2019 EN 31
Fault: Increased bearing temperature
Possible cause Solution
Pump strained or
vibrations in the pipes.
Check pipe connections and
p
ump fasteners, if necessar
y
reduce the pipe bracket
spac
ing.
Fasten pipes using
vibration
reducing materials.
Increased axial thrust –
(further enquiry
required).
Clean relief bore in impeller.
Flow rate too low. Increase minimum flow rate.
Fault: Unauthorised increase in pump temperature
Possible cause Solution
Pump and pipes not
completely ventilated or
filled.
Ventilate pump.
Fill pump.
Suction height too
large/Unit’s NPSH
(intake) too low.
Correct the fluid level.
Install pump lower.
Completely open shut-off valve
in the intake.
If the resistance is too large,
modify the intake
line.
Check suction basket/suction
opening.
Observe the permitted pressure
reduction speed.
Flow rate too low. Increase minimum flow rate.
