Prevent impermissible modes of operation at all times.
2.10.1 Marking
Pump The marking on the pump refers to the pump only.
Example of such marking: II 2 G c TX
Refer to the Temperature limits table for the temperatures permitted for the
individual pump variants. (⇨ Section 2.10.2 Page 11)
Shaft coupling An EC manufacturer's declaration is required for the shaft coupling; the shaft
coupling must be marked accordingly.
Motor The motor must be considered separately.
2.10.2 Temperature limits

In normal pump operation, the highest temperatures are to be expected on the
surface of the pump casing, at the shaft seal and in the bearing areas.
The surface temperature at the pump casing corresponds to the temperature of the
fluid handled. If the pump is heated, the operator of the system is responsible for
observing the specified temperature classes and fluid temperature (operating
temperature).
The table below lists the temperature classes and the resulting theoretical
temperature limits of the fluid handled. (A possible temperature rise in the shaft seal
area has already been taken into account).
The temperature class specifies the maximum permissible temperature at the surface
of the pump set during operation. For the permissible operating temperature of the
pump in question refer to the data sheet.
Table 4: Temperature limits
Temperature class as per EN 13463-1 Maximum permissible fluid
temperature
T1 Temperature limit of the pump
T2 280 ℃
T3 185 ℃
T4 120 ℃
T5 85 ℃
T6 Only after consultation
with the manufacturer
In the following cases, and if ambient temperatures are higher, contact the
manufacturer.
Temperature class T5 Compliance with temperature class T5 is warranted for the area of the rolling
element bearings based on an ambient temperature of 40°C, assuming that the
pump set is properly serviced and operated and that the surfaces in the bearing area
are freely exposed to the atmosphere.
Temperature class T6 If temperature class T6 has to be complied with, special measures may have to be
taken with regard to the bearing temperatures.
Misuse, malfunctions or non-compliance with the instructions may result in

substantially higher temperatures.
Etanorm 11 of 66
2 Safety
If the pump is to be operated at a higher temperature, the data sheet is missing or if

the pump is part of a pool of pumps, contact KSB for the maximum permissible
operating temperature.
2.10.3 Monitoring equipment

The pump (set) must only be operated within the limits specified in the data sheet
and on the name plate.
If the system operator cannot warrant compliance with these operating limits,
appropriate monitoring devices must be used.
Check whether monitoring equipment is required to ensure that the pump set
functions properly.
Contact KSB for further information on monitoring equipment.
2.10.4 Operating limits

The minimum flows indicated in (⇨ Section 6.2.3 Page 35) refer to water and water-
like fluids. Longer operating periods with these fluids and at the flow rates indicated
will not cause an additional increase in the temperatures on the pump surface.
However, if the physical properties of the fluids handled are different from water, it
is essential to check whether an additional heat build-up may occur and if the
minimum flow rate must therefore be increased. The calculation formula in (⇨
Section 6.2.3 Page 35) can be used to check whether an additional heat build-up
may lead to a hazardous temperature increase at the pump surface.

Design The pump is designed with an axial fluid inlet and a radial outlet. The hydraulic
system runs in its own bearings and is connected to the motor by a shaft coupling.
Function The fluid enters the pump axially via a suction nozzle (6) and is accelerated outward
in a cylindrical flow by the rotating impeller (7). The flow profile of the pump casing
converts the kinetic energy of the fluid into pressure energy. The fluid is pumped to
the discharge nozzle (2), where it leaves the pump. The clearance gap (1) prevents
any fluid from flowing back from the casing into the inlet. At the rear side of the
impeller, the shaft (4) enters the casing via the casing cover (3). The shaft passage
through the cover is sealed towards the atmosphere by a shaft seal (8). The shaft runs
in rolling element bearings (9 and 10), which are supported by a bearing bracket (5)
linked with the pump casing and/or casing cover.
Sealing The pump is sealed by a shaft seal.
