  • Page 7 This user manual is for the BA series of pumps. The original version was written in Dutch by BBA Pompen en Buizen BV. The BA series of pumps are manufactured by: BBA Pompen en Buizen BV Zutphensestraat 242 7325 WV Apeldoorn The Netherlands Hereafter, the manufacturer will simply be referred to as BBA Pumps.
  • Page 8 This manual reflects the state of the art in technology at the time of publication. BBA Pumps BV reserves the right to make changes to technical and design specifications at any time without prior notice.
  • Page 9 If the pump is equipped with a vacuum system, the pump is also self-priming. Note Because the BA series consists of a large number of different types of pumps in various versions, the illustrations in this manual may not match the actual situation.

  • Page 10: Description, Application And Working Principle

    Description, application and working principle Description The BA series of pumps, with their large solids handling capacity and good wear resistance, are perfect for pumping both clean and partially polluted liquids. The solids handling capacity is specified on the data sheet that accompanies the pump unit.
  • Page 11 BA series pumps Working principle of the vacuum system The BA dry-prime centrifugal pump distinguishes itself from the normal-priming centrifugal pump through the inclusion of a separate vacuum pump. The vacuum pump is usually driven by the drive shaft via a belt. In special cases the vacuum pump is driven by a separate drive system, such as an electric or hydraulic drive unit.

  • Page 12: Intended Use

    Note The BA series is not designed for food processing but can be used for such applications if they are not subject to any special hygiene standards. The materials used in the selected pump version must in all cases be checked in advance for their suitability for the concerned foodstuff.

    – In the case of electric drive: do not exceed the ratings of the electric motor in terms of insulation class and protection class. – In the case of an electric motor not supplied by BBA Pumps, follow the guidelines provided with the motor.

  • Page 33: Piping Guidelines - General

    BA series pumps Piping guidelines – general The piping must comply with the following guidelines: – Select the diameter and length of the suction and pressure pipes as well as those of any additional components such that the inlet pressure remains above the minimum allowable value. The operating pressure must not exceed the maximum allowable value.

  • Page 34: Suction Pipe

    BA series pumps WARNING The designer of the installation that includes the pump unit is responsible for taking the necessary measures to prevent an internal explosion and, in the event an internal explosion nevertheless occurs, to stop it and limit the consequences.
  • Page 35 BA series pumps – Lay the pipe so as to prevent the formation of air pockets. – Use the least possible number of bends. – Bends must have the largest possible radius. – The pipe system must be completely airtight.
  • Page 36 BA series pumps – When there is a change of diameter in the piping, use an eccentric reducer to prevent the accumulation of air. – Make sure that the liquid intake will remain sufficiently submerged beneath the liquid surface so no air will be drawn in even when the liquid is at its lowest level.
  • Page 37 BA series pumps – Make sure the length of the pipe between a bend and the pump is at least four times the diameter of the pipe, especially when there is little margin between the available and required NPSH. A bend prevents the smooth inflow of liquid to the pump impeller and can have a negative impact on the suction conditions.
  • Page 38 The use of a bypass line will eliminate air from the pump more quickly. See also ‘Pressure pipe’. – In some situations the temperature of the liquid may be so high that the pump requires pre-pressure relative to the NPSH in the line (see technical specifications BA series). WARNING In all cases in which pre-pressure is desired you must contact BBA Pumps for advice.
