operating instructions - Rusch-Pumpen Fabrik GmbH

The pumps are fitted with a safety valve that opens in response to excessive
pressure and allows a portion of the pumped medium to flow
back into the suction chamber of the pump. This safety valve thus serves
to protect the pump and the pipelines from excessive pressure.
This screw pump is of a twin screw construction with counterflow so that
hydraulic thrust is balanced out. The pump screws are not in metallic
contact with either one another or the housing. The mechanical coupling
between the shafts is by means of gears. All the operational parts are
over-dimensioned in order to guarantee trouble-free operation.
The rotational speed of the pump depends on the viscosity of the medium
to be delivered: the higher the viscosity, the lower the speed.
Depending on the medium to be pumped, different types and designs
of stuffing boxes and rotary seals should be used. For highly viscous
media, the pump can also be equipped with a heating system.
This heating system can be operated with heat-transfer oil or steam and
can also be used as a cooling system, if necessary.
The gear box cover, part 872, can also be equipped with a cooling system.
RUSCH screw pumps have, for decades, had a name in marine engineering
and industry in general. Established design and modern manufacturing
methods guarantee the greatest possible precision and thus high
reliability.
3.0 TRANSPORT AND INSTALLATION
3.1 TRANSPORT
The pumps and pump assemblies must always be transported in their
intended installation position. An exception to this rule are excessively
long immersed pumps. If pumps or assemblies are to be moved by crane,
they should be attached as shown in figure 1.
