3 SAFETY ADVICE
The pump is designed for use in industrial refrigeration systems using primary refrigerants.

It is very important that everybody responsible for the safe operation and
maintenance of the plant reads this manual.

The coupling protection must be in place at all times! (see chapter 8.2.2)

If you have any problems please do not hesitate to call our service department, who will be glad
to assist you.
Make sure the ground area around the pump is clear, e.g. no incoming electric power cables. If
you cannot avoid such obstruction, they should be marked with two-coloured warning tape (warn-
ing sign).
Correctly retighten all screw connections after mainte-nance and repair work.
If you have to disassemble any safety devices for maintenance and repair make sure that upon
completion of said work the re-assembly and correct functioning is checked.
When operating at low temperatures (< 0°C) freeze bites can occur when the surface is touched.
Therefore always wear appropriate protection clothing.

1.4 DISCLAIMER
Even when using the pump for the intended purpose it cannot be entirely excluded that a danger
may remain during its working lifetime.
Translations have been made to the best of our knowledge. We are unable to accept any liability
for er-rors in translation.
We reserve the right to change descriptions, graphs and technical information due to future de-
velopment of the refrigerant pump.

4.9 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
From the surge drum refrigerant liquid flows into the suc-tion chamber of the pump. A conical
filter is positioned in the suction connection. A special design of the suction chamber reduces
the inlet friction. The fluid pressure is increased by passing through one or two stage impellers
and intermediate piece(s).
Due to the lateral channels in the intermediate pieces the pump can deliver a gas/liquid mixture
without surging or reversing the flow.
The special double shaft seal with associated oil reservoir in the between ensures that no
refrigerant will escape outside the system.
During standstill any gas that evaporates must be able to leave the pump and vent to the surge
drum. If the pump can be isolated on the delivery side or if a return valve is mounted, a purge
line with a diameter of 10 mm (0.4”) must be installed between delivery flange and stop valve
and connected to the wet suction return line.
The WITT stop/return valve ERA is provided with a purge connection pipe DN 10 and a hand
regulating valve EE6, supplied loose. The EE6 should be fitted so that any gas may be purged
to the surge drum. The valve should be left ½ - ¼-turn open depending on the differential
pressure (see also fig. 6).

23 - Technical data -
Shut off valves in the suction line shall be sized generously and without reducers to enable
degassing. Installation of full-bore ball valves are recommended. Straight through valves must
be installed with stem in horizontal position; ball valves should not have a reduced bore on the
pump side connection.
Until now we have not recommend filters in the liquid downleg as these create additional pres-
sure loss. How-ever, positive experience has proven that the use of filters in systems with high
levels of contamination (i.e. due to installation of non-shot blasted pipes and vessels) is better
than contamination of the pump.
Filters with a mesh of 500 µm (e.g. Parker T5F-SS, AWP-SS, RFF FA or Danfoss FIA) should
be installed in systems with a potential for contamination.

Upmost care should be taken to clean the filters as often as possible during
the first weeks of operation, until they remain clean.

Since external filters have a larger filter surface and can be cleaned more easily, we recom-
mend you keep these in place and remove the conical filter in the pump inlet to avoid two filters
causing excessive pressure drop. A regu-lar check (1 – 2 per year) should be included in the
maintenance routine.

To be sure the pump will operate even at a low-pressure difference resulting

in maximum capacity, the diameter of the downleg to the pump must be
executed as mentioned in the table below as a minimum!

Required diameter of the downleg to the pumps

GP 41 GP 42 GP 51 / GP 51a GP 52 GP 82
50 Hz DN 80 DN 80 DN 100 DN 150 DN 150
60 Hz 3” 3” 4“ 6“ 6“

Under no circumstances should the maximum velocity in the downleg exceed 0.3
m/s (1 ft/s)!

The conical suction filter supplied with the pump must be installed at all times to protect the
pump from foreign material contamination!

6.5.1 Safeguarding against too high pressure

Operating refrigerant pumps against too high pressure (e.g. against partially or fully
closed throttled condition) is not allowed and will damage the refrigerant pump!

A by-pass valve (adjustable) has proven good practice to safeguard the pump against too
high pressure.
To set the by-pass valve select the pressure difference across the pump according table 1 for
the following de-livery head. (take into account the pressure losses in the pipework to the by-
pass valve)

GP 51a 16 m 23 m 37 m 50 m
GP 52 26 m 40 m 65 m -
GP 82 - - 55 m 85 m

A diameter of DN20 has been proven for the by-pass valve.

6.5.2 Dry-run protection

If a minimum level cut out switch is mounted on the separator, it shall be used to switch the
pump off in case of a lack of refrigerant (dry run protection).
6.5.3 Pressure differential switch
A pressure differential switch - with time delay during start up - shall be used when there is
insufficient discharge pressure.
The delay should be set at approx. 30 s, which means if the pump was not able to build up
pressure (e.g. 0,3 – 0,5 bar) within 30 s, the pump will be stopped
This procedure can be repeated a maximum of four times. Then a malfunction message should
be submitted and the pump switched off. After that a restart should only be made after inves-
tigation of the cause of failure and acknowledging the fault indicator.
The pressure differential switch does not protect the pump against too high pressure running
(dead heading)!
6.5.4 Flow switch
A flow switch must be installed, when a bypass valve is not fitted in the refrigerant circuit. It
is known when the bypass valve is not fitted, the pump is capable of producing a differential
pressure without volume flow and has not been stopped by the differential pressure switch.
The flow switch control in the pump discharge shall stop the flow as the flow drops below 0,2
m/s.
