The pumped LPG liquid flows from the pump-unit through four
inlet-holes into the motor unit. The liquid flows between the
stainless-steel shell and the stator to the receptacle housing (top
section of the motor) and is cooling the motor.
The bottom-end housing (with bottom bearing) is installed with two so-called breathers (flame
barrier). Approximately 20 liters/min. liquid is pressed through the two inlet breathers in the
bottom-end housing.
Through the liquid groove in the bearing, this amount of liquid is forced between the rotor and the
stator to the upper-end housing and lubricates the motor. Through the liquid groove of the top
bearing, installed in the upper-end housing, the liquid passes through the breather (flame-barrier)
installed in the receptacle housing. This amount of liquid passes through a non-adjustable
bypass back into the manifold.
Maximum temperature increase, caused by the cooling of the motor section, is approximately 12º
C above ambient temperature of the LPG liquid, at normal working circumstances.
In practice, the maximum temperature of the liquid passing the internal bypass never exceeds the
temperature of 35 -38º C (ambient temperature of liquid between 5º C and 26ºC).
The section with the pigtail (discharge head) consists of a metal body (Ex ’d’ flameproof
enclosure) and electrical connections (Ex ‘e’ increased safety). The wires in the connectors are
cast in epoxy. The stator is fitted with a containment shell of sheet metal and the windings are
fully cast in epoxy.
