 Installation

For pumps in explosion-hazard areas

(→ ATEX additional instructions).

Design limitations and technical data for each pump

are found in the Product description. Installation of IMO
AB low pressure pumps does not require special skills.
However, these instructions presume that the work is
carried out by experienced fitters!

13 Failure to comply with these instructions

may cause damage and personal injury

Fig 1. Keep dry and clean

Transport and storage
Always protect the pump against ingress of water
and other impurities. Store the pump in a clean, dry
and warm environment. The pump is delivered with
the internals oiled and with protective covers over the
pipe connections and drain openings. These covers
should remain in place for as long as possible during
the mounting and installation procedure but must be max. 90°
removed before start up. min. 60°

Lifting of pump
Lifting of the complete pump unit with the lifting device
attached to the motor, should be avoided as the motor’s
lifting provisions may not be able to carry the combined
weight of the pump and motor.

14 All pumps should be lifted with straps

securely attached to the pump or pump
unit, so that the center of gravity is located
between the straps in order to avoid
tipping of the pump. Fig 2. Lifting the pump

Strainer
The pump has to be protected from foreign matters
such as weld slag, pipe scale, etc., that could enter the
pump via the suction line. If the cleanliness of the sys-
tem cannot be guaranteed, a strainer must be installed
in the inlet pipe near the pump. For practical reasons
a suction strainer with 0.8-2.0 mm mesh openings is
recommended.
The size of the strainer should be selected so that it is
large enough to allow adequate pressure at the pump
inlet. The pressure drop across the strainer should
preferably not exceed 0.1 bar at max. flow rate and nor-
mal operating viscosity. A vacuum gauge between the
strainer and the pump inlet is recommended to indicate
when the strainer needs cleaning.
OACE4 2019.12 en-GB, ID-Nr.: 163-039/B

15 All work carried out on the pump has to be Fig. 3 Strainer

performed in such a manner that risks for
personal injury are observed.

16 Lifting a complete pump unit, using

slings or hooks attached to the pump or
connecting frame may be dangerous since
the centre of gravity of the pump unit may
be higher than the points of attachement.

www.imo.se 5
www.northridgepumps.com
Pipe connections
The pipe work shall be installed and supported so that
no pipe stresses are transferred to the pump body.
The pipe forces and torque transferred to the pump
shall be in accordance with ISO 14847. The pipe work
should be tight in order to avoid leakage and infiltration
of foreign particles and/or air. Shut off valves should be
installed in both suction and discharge pipes, so that
the pump can be hydraulically isolated.

Fig. 4 Pipe connections

Suction line
The suction pipe should be designed so that the total
pressure drop, measured at the pump inlet flange, does
not exceed the suction capability of the pump. Make a
proper calculation of the suction line including compo-
nents such as valves, strainer, pipe bends etc. Gener-
ally, the pressure drop in the suction line should be as
low as possible, which is achieved if the suction pipe is
short, straight and has a suitable diameter. The velocity
in the suction line should be kept in the range
0.5 - 1.2 m/s. For L.O. circulating systems, we recom-
mend to keep it as low as possible. The suction line
Fig. 5 Suction Line
must be equipped with a port that allows filling the
pump before start.

Discharge line
The discharge line should be dimensioned to keep the
velocity in the range 1 - 3 m/s.

Deaeration
In installations with negative suction head, where the
pump might be started against a pressurized system, a
deaeration pipe with an orifice (2-3 mm is recommend-
ed) has to be installed. The deaeration pipe should be
connected to the outlet pipe’s highest point. This must
also be installed when the pump is used as a stand-by
pump.

Fig. 6 Deaeration

Liquid trap
In some mounting arrangements the pump may not
retain the liquid at stand still. In such installations the
suction pipe should be arranged so it forms a liquid trap
together with the pump, keeping the pump half filled
with liquid.
OACE4 2019.12 en-GB, ID-Nr.: 163-039/B

17 When handling liquids that may harm skin

use gloves and/or protective clothing

18 When handling liquids shich may involve

fire hazards appropriate precautions to
avoid danger are to be taken.

 Gauges
Gauges for monitoring the pump’s working conditions
are recommended. These gauges should be placed
readable as close to the pumps in- and outlet flanges
as possible. On the ACE Optiline standard pumps there
are gauge connections for both in- and outlet.

bar

Fig. 8 Gauges

Pressure relief valve

All systems with screw pumps must be equipped with
a pressure relief valve installed immediately adjacent
to the pump. In the standard versions of IMO ACE
Optiline pumps, this pressure relief valve is an integral
part of the pump to protect the system against excess
pressure. When liquid is circulated through the valve it
heats up in proportion to the set pressure level and the
percentage of by-passed liquid. 100% bypass can only
be tolerated for less than about 3 minutes, 50 %by-pass
generally for unlimited periods of time. If more than
50% recirculation is anticipated, a value specific to each
application should be determined by closely monitoring
the pump body temperature. If the pump is operating in Fig. 9 Pressure Relief Valve
line with a separate pressure control valve (see fig.9),
the setting of the relief valve should be high enough
so as not to interfere with the control valve. Likewise, if
two pumps are operating in parallel, the setting should
be such that interference between the two valves is
avoided.

Also remember that a total bypass by the pumps

internal relief valve for longer periods will cut of the
cooling flow to the pumps magnetic coupling and
cause an overheating with destroyed magnets as a
result quite fast.

and couse personal injury.

Pressure testing and flushing

The system must be flushed and pressure tested before
connecting the pump. If corrosive liquid, such as water
is used, the system must be thoroughly drained, dried
and protected against corrosion after having been Fig. 11 Filling the pump
flushed.

Before starting:
After installation and whenever it can be assumed that
the pump has been emptied, the pump must be thor- 21 Don't mix up with arrow for inlet and

20 Make sure the prime mover is locked out

and can not be started accidentally.

Direction of rotation
When the pump is ready to be started, switch the motor
briefly on and off and check that the drive motor rotates
in the correct direction as indicated by the rotation ar-
row. The arrow is placed on the side of the front cover
5010 as well as on riveted steel plates on the connect-
ing frame 003.
Fig. 12 Direction of rotation

Differential pressure
Differential pressures bellow 1 bar is strictly forbidden
as the magnetic coupling under these conditions may
loose its cooling flow and cause an overheating of the
magnetic coupling with a risk of a potential fire as a
result.
We do strongly recommend magnetic coupled pumps to
be equipped with a differential pressure monitoring de-
vice that stops the pump automatically if the differential
pressure for some reason should drop to below 1bar.
OACE4 2019.12 en-GB, ID-Nr.: 163-039/B

Air in the pumped fluid

It is forbidden to use the ACE Optiline pump with fluids Fig. 13 Differential Pressure
that contains more than 0,2% of air due to the risk of
ignition during an eventual overheating of the pump.

Maintenance and Service
For pumps in explosion-hazard areas (→ ATEX additional instructions).

Introduction
A screw pump from IMO is a quality product that is designed for a long problem free operation in tough environ-
ments. As all other mechanical products they do however requires a certain grade of maintenance and service in
order to guarantee a faultless and economic favourable operation.
A recommendation is to go through the pump each 5 year in order to replace wear details such as ball bearings and
certain gaskets and o-rings. A relatively small review of a screw pump from IMO means that the pump in most of
the cases will be in a condition “as new” and therefore give the operator another long and problem free operation.

intervals. Wear in the pump will normally show as:
• Vibration
• Noise
• Loss of capacity
• Reduction in flow/pressure
• Loss of the magnetic power
We recommend planned inspections and/or overhaul
at regular intervals, not exceeding 5 years. It is recom-
mended to always have the spares included in joint
spare part kit G057 together with the ball bearing 122
available for a planned inspection.

Inspection of rotors
To reach the idler rotors in a quicker way than de-
scribed in the dismantling section, loosen the rear cover
(480) with the valve. Screw out the idler rotors back-
wards. Internal clearances in the pump, which are vital
for its proper function, may have been affected by wear.
Acceptable wear can be determined only by experience
of the actual application. As a rule of thumb the follow-
ing max clearance values may apply: Between rotor
and bores: 0.2 mm, Between rotor flanks: 0.4 mm For
