Information on benchmark efficiency is available at;

EU Regulation 547/2012 requires the statement on a
product nameplate:
 MEI ≥ 0.10 [--.-]. (Between 01 January 2013 and
31 December 2014.)
 MEI ≥ 0.40 [--.-]. (From 01 January 2015.)
1.9 Noise level
In principle, any noise emission should be avoided as
far as possible at the location of origin. If the noise
protection cannot be reduced by suitable measures to
the values approved by regional laws, the concerned
staff must be provided with personal hearing protection.
Attention must be given to the exposure of personnel
to the noise, and local legislation will define when
guidance to personnel on noise limitation is required,
and when noise exposure reduction is mandatory.
This is typically 80 to 85 dBA.
Submerged motor pumps are in principle submerged
in fluid during operation. This fluid jacket has a
dampening impact so that the noise pressure level of
the units is lower or equal to 70 dB(A). Noise
generation from pipelines and valves must be
evaluated by the operator
2 TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
2.1 Consignment receipt and unpacking
Submersible pumps are subjected to a thorough
inspection before leaving the factory and are supplied
with operating instructions for fitting, starting, care etc
that conform to international safety regulations.
Immediately after receipt of the equipment it must be
checked against the delivery and shipping documents
for its completeness and that there has been no
damage in transportation. Any shortage and or damage
must be reported immediately to Flowserve and must
be received in writing within one month of receipt of the
equipment. Later claims cannot be accepted.
Check any crates, boxes and wrappings for any
accessories or spare parts that may be packed
separately with the equipment or attached to side
walls of the box or equipment.
Each product has a unique serial number. Check
that this number corresponds with that advised and
always quote this number in correspondence as well
as when ordering spare parts or further accessories.
2.2 Handling and lifting
Take special care when handling the
pump unit. Make certain that it does not hit against
walls, steel structures or floors etc.
2.2.1 Erection of long units
For transport, ensure that the hoist
has an adequate carrying capacity.
Units less than 1 000 kg (2 200 lb.) do not
carry any weight information.
Units that are delivered or stored in several sub-
assemblies due to extreme length must be
assembled during installation into the well. Special
fitting instructions must be requested from the
manufacturer for this.
A unit that is shipped on a transport rail due to its
extreme length must be lifted into the vertical position on
this rail (ie an auxiliary carrier) before fitting into the well.
Due to the danger of sagging, pump
units that exceed the permissible length must be
supported by an auxiliary carrier (U or H carrier) when
lifted into the vertical position. This carrier may only be
removed after the pump unit is hanging vertically from
the crane or lifting block. (See figure 2-1.)
Figure 2-1
When assessing the diameter of the unit, use the
smaller size from the pump and motor. This can be
found on the rating plate or the data sheet.
