increases considerably and cannot be adjusted by
retightening the gland, the packing is worn and
must be replaced by a new one.
For executions with mechanical seal: If the initial
leakage does not disappear within 5 minutes of
operation, stop the pump, dismantle the seal and
check for damage of the seal faces and auxiliary
sealing.
6.9 Shutting-down
Before shutting down close the valve on the
discharge side.
After shutting down, all valves may be closed. The
valves of the auxiliary pipework connections,
(quench, heating, external flush, code 052, code
051), have to be closed in the last place.
If there is a risk of very low ambient temperatures,
remove the pump and then drain it using the
threaded plug 90.30.

1 General Objective
Pumping systems can be operated in hazardous areas. It is the obligation of the operator to define the zone and to
select the pump with the correct category for this zone.
The pump installation and operation must take the Operating Instructions into accounts that are described in these
supplementary operating instructions. They contain important information for safe and reliable pump operation in
hazardous areas. This information plus all information given for all components of the system (e.g. the operating
instructions for the pump) are of vital importance to avoid risks.
These supplementary operating instructions do not take into account national nor local regulations; the operator must
ensure that such regulations are strictly observed by all, including the personnel in charge of the installation.
For any further information or instructions exceeding the scope of this manual or in case of damage please contact
Sterling Fluid Systems nearest customers service.
2 Safety issues
These supplementary operating instructions contain fundamental information concerning all actions with pumping
systems, when operated in hazardous areas like: installation, inspection, operation, monitoring and maintenance.
Therefore these – and all other instructions with related to safety must be known and available with easy access to all
personnel, which is involved in the above stated actions.
Not only must the general safety instructions established in this chapter on ”Safety issues” be complied with, but also
the safety instructions outlined under specific headings as well as the safety instructions contained in the specific
operating manual of the specific pump.
2.1 Identification of safety symbols in the supplementary operating instructions

In these supplementary operating instructions the safety instructions related to explosion protection are marked with:
The sign
is used to highlight safety instructions where non-compliance may pose a damage to the pump and its functions.
2.2 Compliance with regulations

It is imperative to comply with the safety instructions contained in these supplementary operating instructions, the
operating instructions of the pump type concerned, the relevant national and international explosion protection
regulations, health and safety regulations and the operator’s own internal work, operation and safety regulations.
Ex symbol relates to additional requirements, which must be complied with when the pump is operated in
hazardous areas.
In addition the following must be observed:
If the pumps / units are located in hazardous areas, it is imperative to make sure that the correct category of
pump and equipment is selected and that unauthorised modes of operation are prevented. Non-compliance may
result in first: increased risk of explosion and second: the specified temperature limits might be exceeded.
Non-compliance with these safety instructions may also result in the loss of any rights to claim damages.
In addition to the hazards indicated in the operating manual of the relevant pump type,
Non-compliance may also result in hazards to persons by explosion.
2.3 Qualification and training of personnel

The personnel responsible for or involved in the installation, the operation, maintenance and inspection of the pump
and the unit must be adequately qualified to carry out these works in hazardous areas.
The scope of responsibility and supervision of the personnel must be exactly defined by plant management. If the
staff does not have the necessary knowledge, they must be trained and instructed. The pump manufacturer or
supplier on behalf of the plant management may perform this task. Moreover, plant management must ensure that
the contents of the operation instructions are fully understood by plant operators and other relevant personnel such
as maintenance staff.
Page 2
2.4 Safety instructions for installation work, inspection operation and maintenance
The operator is responsible to assure that all installation work, inspection, operation and maintenance must be
carried out by authorised and qualified specialist personnel, which is thoroughly familiarised with the pump operating
instructions and these supplementary operating instructions.
If necessary, additional explosion protection regulations must be considered.
3 Instructions concerning design of pump and accessories
3.1 General
The pumps and the accessories for installations in hazardous areas must comply with the relevant category of
mechanical and electrical equipment.
Some details are pointed out below:
3.2 Pump pressure containment components
For handling inflammable fluids, the pump pressure containment components must be made of ductile
material.
3.3 Coupling, coupling guard

The accident prevention regulations require, that pump drives must not be operated without a coupling guard. If a
customer specifically decides, not to include a coupling guard in our delivery, then the operator must provide such
coupling guard himself. The coupling must be selected and sized in accordance with the instructions of the coupling
manufacturer. It is important to make sure that the materials selected for coupling and coupling guard are non-
sparking in the event of mechanical contact. Sterling Fluid Systems scope of supply meets this requirement.
In hazardous areas coupling guards must be of non-sparking material, whereby the coupling material must be
considered.
3.4 Belt drives

Belts must include some electrically conductive material.
4 Instructions concerning installation and start-up of pump sets

In addition to the normal installation instructions, the specific criteria for explosion proof are listed below:
4.1 Coupling
The coupling must be installed, started-up and operated in accordance with the operating instructions of the
coupling manufacturer. Misalignment of the coupling may result in inadmissible temperatures at the coupling and
pump and motor bearings. It has to be ensured, that the half couplings are correctly aligned at all times.
4.2 Connection to power supply
Only a properly trained electrician must effect connection to the power supply. The available main voltage
must be checked against the data on the motor rating plate and an appropriate start-up method must be selected.
It is strongly recommend to use a motor protection device (motor protection switch).
In hazardous areas, compliance with national and local regulations form an additional requirement for
electrical connections.
4.3 Earthing
To eliminate risks due to electrostatic charging, the pump set must be earthed directly or through an earthing
line.
4.4 Belt drive
Belt-driven pump sets must always be earthed. The condition of the belts must be checked regularly.
Page 3
5 Instructions concerning operation and maintenance
5.1 Unauthorised modes of operation
The warranty relating to the operating reliability and safety of the unit supplied is only valid if the equipment is used in
accordance with its designated use as described in the following sections of this supplementary operating manual
and the pump-specific operating manual. The limits stated in the data sheet must not be exceeded under any
circumstances.
Any operation of the pump outside the permissible operating range and any unauthorised modes of operation
may result in the specified temperature limits being exceeded (see section 5.8).
5.2 Explosion protection
If the pumps / units are installed in hazardous areas where compliance with EC directive 94/9/EC is required,
the measures and instructions given in the following sections 5.3 to 5.9 must be carried out with no excuse, to ensure
explosion protection.
5.3 Pump filled and vented

Especially dry running of a pump results in friction and non-allowed temperature rise. Therefore precautions have to
be taken to prevent dry running.
It is necessary that the system of suction and discharge lines and thus the wetted pump internals including
seal chamber and auxiliary systems are completely filled with the fluid to be handled at all times during pump
operation, so that an explosive atmosphere is prevented.
If the operator cannot warrant this condition, appropriate monitoring devices must be used.
Improper installation (e.g. vertical installation) may impair the self-venting properties of the seal chamber, so that gas
bubbles may be collected in the pump and cause the mechanical seal to run dry.
High negative pressure on the suction side (e.g. due to clogged suction-side strainers or low system pressure)
may result in air intake at the shaft seal forming gas bubbles in the pump. This may also cause the mechanical seal
to run dry. Suitable monitoring facilities shall be installed, if necessary.
For design-inherent reasons, however, it is not always possible to exclude the existence of a certain residual
volume not filled with liquid after the pump has been filled prior to start of operation. However, once the motor is
started up the pumping effect will immediately fill this volume with pumped fluid.
It is imperative to make sure that the seal chambers and auxiliary seal systems are properly vented from air and filled
with liquid.
5.4 Marking
The Ex marking on the pump only refers to the pump part, i.e. the coupling and motor must be considered
separately. The coupling must have an EC Declaration of Manufacturer and the EC marking. The driver must be
treated separately.
Example of marking on the pump part:

CE Ex II 2 G c T1 - T5
The safety instructions published in section 5.8 must be complied with.
5.5 Fluid handled
Abrasive particles in the fluid handled may erode the casing walls to such an extent that fluid may escape.
When handling inflammable media, it has to be ensured that the fluid does not contain any abrasive particles, or that
the pump is regularly checked with respect to erosion.
5.6 Checking the direction of rotation (see also pump-specific operating manual)
If the explosion hazard also exists during the installation phase, the direction of rotation must never be
checked by starting up the unfilled pump unit, even for a short period, to prevent temperature increases resulting from
contact between rotating and stationary components. If it is not possible to fill the pump, the direction of rotation must
be checked with the pump / motor coupling removed.
Page 4
5.7 Pump operating mode
Make sure that the pump is always started up with the suction-side shut-off valve fully open and the discharge-side
shut-off valve slightly open. However, the pump can also be started up against a closed swing check valve. Only after
the pump has reached full rotational speed shall the discharge-side shut-off valve be adjusted to comply with the duty
point.
Pump operation with closed shut-off valves in the suction and / or discharge pipes is not permitted. In this
case, there is a risk of the pump casing reaching a high surface temperatures after a very short time, due to a rapid
temperature rise in the pumped fluid inside the pump.
Additionally, the resulting rapid pressure build-up inside the pump may cause excessive stresses on the pump
materials and even cause it to burst.
The minimum flows indicated in the relevant pump operating manuals refer to water and water-like liquids. Longer
operating periods with these liquids 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 if an additional heat build-up may occur and if the minimum flow rate must therefore be
increased.
The calculation formula below can be used to check if an additional heat build-up may lead to a dangerous
temperature increase at the pump surface.
To = Tf + ∆ϑ
∆ϑ = ((g * H) / (c * η))*(1 - η)
c Specific heat of liquid [J / kg K]

2
g Acceleration due to gravity [m /s]
H Pump head [m]
Tf Temperature of fluid handled [º C]
To Temperature of casing surface [º C]
η Pump efficiency [-]
∆ϑ Temperature difference [º C]
5.8 Temperature limits
In normal pump operation, the highest temperatures are to be expected on the surface of the pump casing, at
the shaft seal, at the bearing areas and at the pump shaft end in close coupled executions.
Unless the pump is equipped with an additional heating facility, the surface temperature at the pump casing will
correspond to the temperature of the fluid handled, assuming that the pump surface is freely exposed to the
atmosphere.
In any case, responsibility for compliance with the specified fluid temperature (operating temperature) lies with the
plant operator. The maximum permissible fluid temperature depends on the temperature class to be complied with.
The following limits for the maximum permissible fluid temperature must be observed for the individual temperature
classes as per EN13463-1 given below (temperature increase in the shaft seal area, if any, has been taken into
consideration):
Temperature classes Permissible Max. permissible fluid

as per EN 13463-1: surface temperature for compliance
temperature with temperature class
T5 100 º C 80 º C
T4 135 º C 115 º C
T3 200 º C 180 º C
T2 300 º C 280 º C
T1 450 º C Temperature limit of pump
Safety note:
The permissible operating temperature of the pump in question is indicated in the technical data. If the pump is to be
operated at a higher temperature, the technical data are missing or if the pump is part of a pool of pumps, the
maximum permissible operating temperature must be requested from the pump manufacturer.

Because of the very close contact between pumps and motors in close coupled design (ZLK and ZLI,
Industrial Pumps; ZTK and ZTI, Thermal Oil Pumps; and ZLI, Hot Water Pumps), there is a thermal influence
between pump and motor.
Especially for motors with protection type EExe (increased safety) the possibility exists that the declaration of
conformity looses its validity, as for the EC type examination an ambient temperature of 40°C is taken as a basis.
This admissible ambient temperature could be exceeded in the area of the motor flange when pumping hot liquids.
In the event of fluid temperature above 80ºC, the temperature category of the unit / set is determined by the pump not
by the motor.
The motor is usually rated for continuous operation at the data indicated in the technical data. Frequent motor
start-ups may result in increased surface temperatures at the motor. Contact the motor manufacturer, if necessary.
Based on ambient temperatures of max. 40 º C and assuming that the pump unit is properly serviced and operated
and that the surfaces in the bearing area are freely exposed to the atmosphere, compliance with temperature class
T4 is warranted for surfaces in the area of the rolling element bearings.
If temperature classes T5 (100ºC) and T6 (85ºC) have to be complied with, special measures may have to taken with
regard to bearing temperature. In such cases, and if ambient temperatures are higher, contact the manufacturer.
Operator’s errors or malfunctions may result in substantially higher temperatures. Please refer to section 5.1 in this
context.
Mechanical seals may exceed the specified temperature limits if run dry. Dry running may not only result from
an inadequately filled seal chamber, but also from excessive gas content in the fluid pumped.
Pump operation outside the specified operating range may also result in dry running.
Shaft seals shall be regularly checked for leakage.
The above stated and also stated in other paragraphs related to the mechanical seal, is also applicable for
any shaft sealing execution (i.e. packing rings, lip seal rings, etc.)
In any case the operator has the responsibility to check the real compatibility between the normal leakage of the fluid
and the atmosphere in the case of shaft sealing made by packing rings.
It has to be verified, that V-rings are properly fitted to the shaft. Only proper contact should be exist between
the sealing lip and the shaft.
5.9 Maintenance
Only a pump set, which is properly operated and maintained in perfect technical condition, will give safe and
reliable operation.
This also applies to the reliable function of the rolling element bearings whose actual lifetime largely depends on the
operating mode and operating conditions.
Regular checks of the lubricant and the running noises will prevent the risk of excessive temperatures as a result of
bearings running hot or defective bearing seals.
The correct function of the shaft seal must be checked regularly.
Any auxiliary systems installed must be monitored, if necessary, to make sure they function correctly.
Static sealing elements shall be regularly checked for leakage.
The coupling guard and any other guards of fast rotating components must be regularly checked for deformation and
sufficient distance from rotating elements.
Regularly verify the correct position and the status of plastic components exposed to the atmosphere.
It is strongly recommended to draw up a maintenance schedule, which includes the above-mentioned points.
In case of repair only original Sterling Fluid Systems spare parts must be used, which comply with the
corresponding EC Directives.
