The Hand Operating Branch with multiport throttle is fitted at the casing below the cone seat and serves to pass off the minimum flow via a hand-operated valve combination. We recommend the branch for protection of the internal bypass parts at extreme operating conditions, e.g. at high differential pressures and frequent operation in the range of bypass flow as well as for filling and start-up of the plant. |
|
The Start-Up-Trim SUT substitutes the bypass regulation parts during cleaning and start-up of plants. A flow is forwarded over the bypass pipe permanently and therefore it spares the sophisticated regulating parts. The optional Start-Up-Trim is also usable instead of the hand operating branch. |
|
With the Warm-Up or Cool-Down Branch idle or spare pumps can be kept to the operating temperature. Hereby a defined flow rate will be pumped from the running pump via the Warm-Up or Cool-Down branch through the idle or spare pump to retain it on operating temperature. |
|
The Pressure Gauge Branch is used to measure the pressure near the discharge branch of the pump. |
|
With the Draining Branch the pipe above the integrated non-return-function of the Automatic Recirculation Check Valve can be drained before demounting. |
