| The absolute suction pressure must be V a 0.75 bar (11 PSI); therefore, the following must be avoided: • large height differences between pump and tank • long stretches of piping • special features such as: - bends - reductions in diameter - quick couplings - etc. It is also advisable to choose a filter of a suitable size to minimise any pressure drop and to take measures to prevent gradual clogging over time. (Example 1) In certain cases, the suction pressure can exceed 1 bar (14.3 PSI), or atmospheric pressure. Please contact our Sales Department, solution for M1 s 3.5 bar (50 PSI) , are available. If in a particular application the M1 pressure is higher than the recommended value, contact our Sales Office. The diameter of the suction pipe should ensure that the oil speed will fall within the range: v = 0.6 - 1.2 m/s. (Example 2) |
