XDS-5

Documented failure modes, common issues, and field considerations.

• A fine dust may be emitted from the exhaust during start up, particularly when the pump is new or if new tip seals are fitted.
• If the exhaust line pressure is raised, tip seal wear accelerates and pumping performance can be reduced.
• The pump has failed to start can be caused by electrical supply, motor configuration, motor fault, or thermal overload.
• The pump has failed to achieve the required performance can be caused by leaks, blocked inlet strainer, blocked exhaust line, incorrect gas-ballast setting, worn tip seals, or out-of-range operating conditions.
• The pump is noisy can be caused by worn bearings or solid particle contamination.
• The pump surface temperature above 100 °C can be caused by high ambient temperature, insufficient or too-hot cooling air, high supply voltage, hot process gas, or fan failure.
• The pumping speed is poor can be caused by undersized or too-long pipelines, a blocked inlet strainer, or a blocked exhaust line.
