4.6.5.1

External flush option E01

Flush option E01 is the use of a recirculation from
discharge or an external process compatible source
through the driven section and a return to process.

Referring to Figure 4-17, determine the inlet location
for the flush fluid. It should be in either location “1JI”
or “1HI” (1JI is standard). Hook up external flush
lines and make sure the required inlet pressure
ensures that liquid is flowing into the pump (1.0 to 1.4
bar [15 to 20 psi] margin over containment shell
pressure). The external flush should start running
either before the pump is rotating or when the pump
starts to rotate.

If flush option E01 is specified, failure

to provide external flush before starting the
motor/pump could result in bearing damage.

Always install a check valve in the inlet

flush line as close to the pump as possible to avoid
reverse flow in the flush line.
