Chapter 10
The highest temperatures usually occur on the pump casing surface, on the bearing housing in the area of
the anti-friction bearings and on the casing cover near the mechanical seal.
The temperature occurring on the pump casing is almost the same as that of the liquid handled.
A maximum temperature of 80 C, if oil-lubricated, can be expected in the area of the anti-friction bearings,
provided the requirements for appropriate pump operation are met and regular maintenance on the bearings
is provided. Insulation of the bearing housing is not permissible.
If the pump is adequately filled with liquid, the temperature of the liquid handled in the shaft seal area should
not increase by more than 20 K for dead end operation with a single-acting mechanical seal. With doubleacting mechanical seals the temperature rise depends largely on the flushing or sealing liquid (if there is any
doubt, please contact Sterling Fluid Systems).
Thus, the following theoretical maximum temperature of the liquid handled as a function of the temperature
class according to EN 13463-1 is obtained. The maximum operating temperature of the pump (see chapter
9) and the operating limits of the mechanical seal must be observed (if there is any doubt, please contact
Sterling Fluid Systems or the mechanical seal manufacturer).

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.
Safety note:

Chapter 10
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.
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 pump operating manual 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.
