1.2 The liquid ring pump
1.2.1 ATEX Category 1, 2 and 3 pumps
The ATEX Category 1 EHR and SHR liquid ring pumps have been specifically developed to meet the requirement for
pumps capable of pumping an explosive atmosphere with an internal area classification of Zone 0, without the need
for protective devices such as flame arrestors.
The ATEX Category 2 EHR and SHR liquid ring pumps have been specifically developed to meet the requirement for
pumps capable of pumping an explosive atmosphere with an internal area classification of Zone 1, without the need
for protective devices such as flame arrestors.
The ATEX Category 3 EHR and SHR liquid ring pumps have been specifically developed to meet the requirement for
pumps capable of pumping an explosive atmosphere with an internal area classification of Zone 2, without the need
for protective devices such as flame arrestors.
The pumps are certified as Category 1, 2 or 3 equipment under the ATEX Directive (94/9/EC); for the certifications
to be valid, the pumps must be installed exactly as specified in this manual.
The pumps have been designed using the principle of constructional safety, which ensures that potential ignition
sources are eliminated during normal operation for ATEX Category 3, in the event of an expected malfunction for
ATEX Category 2 and in the event of a rare malfunction for ATEX Category 1.
The pumps are suitable for pumping a wide range of flammable and non-flammable gases and vapours, subject to the
restrictions specified in Section 1.3.4.
ATEX Category 1 pumps have mechanical seals and will be supplied configured for external seals flush supplies.
ATEX Category 2 pumps have mechanical seals, and can be supplied configured in one of two ways:
Configured for external seals flush supplies.
Configured with internal seals flush supplies, provided internally from the sealing liquid ring. These pumps
are suitable for use on clean applications only.
If you have an ATEX Category 2 pump configured for external seals flush supplies, you must provide a seals flush
supply for each seal.
ATEX Category 3 pumps have mechanical seals. Each seal has its own seals flush supply, provided internally from the
sealing liquid ring.
ATEX Category 1, 2 and 3 pumps are suitable for use only on the application for which this pump is supplied. Please
consult Edwards for any changes in application.

1.3 ATEX Directive: 94/9/EC (Europe): ATEX Category 1, 2 and 3
pumps only
1.3.1 Introduction
The pump must be incorporated into a larger system on which the internal atmosphere has an area classification of
Zone 0 (for ATEX Category 1 pumps) or Zone 1 (for ATEX Category 2 pumps) or Zone 2 (for ATEX Category 3 pumps).
Such systems will be certified in accordance with the above Directive, and must be identified by an ATEX system
rating label.
For certification to be valid, the pump must be installed exactly as specified in this manual.
ATEX Category 1 pumps are fitted with an ATEX rating label containing the following information:
ATEX Category 2 pumps are fitted with an ATEX rating label containing the following information:
ATEX Category 3 pumps are fitted with an ATEX rating label containing the following information:
The notations used in these ratings are as follows:
1.3.2 Temperature classification
The temperature classification applied to the pump relates to the auto-ignition temperature of flammable materials
that can be pumped.
The pump has a T4 classification and is suitable for pumping flammable materials that have an auto-ignition
temperature greater than 135
o
C. Refer to Section 2 of this manual for the necessary pump operating conditions.

The T4 temperature classification is achieved by limiting the temperature of the sealing liquid ring and of the seals
flush liquid (supplied to each of the mechanical seals) to 70
o
C. The maximum temperature rise which can occur in
the seals flush liquid is 30
o
C (assuming that a non-flashing hydrocarbon liquid is used: see Table 1). Therefore, the
maximum external temperature of the seals is 100
o
C, which is within the T4 classification requirements.
The maximum operating temperature of the pump is determined by:
The temperature of the sealing liquid supply.
The temperature rise of the sealing liquid in the pump, due to power absorbed by the liquid ring to effect gas
compression.
The temperature rise of the sealing liquid in the pump, due to the condensation of vapours which enter the
pump.
The temperature rise in the seals flush liquid to the mechanical seals, due to friction between the stationary
and rotary parts of the seals.
If you use a total recirculation sealing liquid supply system (see Section 3.5), your cooler must be suitable for the
temperature rises that will occur.
Conservative estimates of the temperature rise for different seals flush liquids are shown in Table 1 (see below). Note
that mineral oil is included in Table 1 for comparison purposes only; you cannot use mineral oil as the seals flush
liquid, due to the resulting high temperature rise.
Table 1 - Temperature rises in seals flush liquids
The liquid ring pumps are virtually isothermal machines and, for applications that use water as the sealing liquid, the
temperature rise across the pump is approximately 5
o
C. The temperature rise is directly proportional to the specific
heat of the sealing liquid; for a liquid which has a specific heat which is half that of water, the temperature rise will
be approximately 10
o
C.
With the T4 temperature classification, limiting the sealing liquid ring to a maximum temperature of 70
o
C and
limiting the temperature of the gas at the pump inlet to 70
o
C allows for a temperature rise of 38
o
C in the sealing
liquid; this will never occur, provided that the sealing liquid supply is maintained.
On ATEX Category 1 pumps with external seals flush supplies, you must configure your system so that the seals flush
supplies cannot be interrupted during pump operation (refer to Section 3.5):
You must fit flow switches in the seals flush pipelines of all systems.
You must fit either of the following:
If you use a sealing liquid reservoir to provide the seals flush supplies, fit a level switch to the reservoir.
If you do not use a sealing liquid reservoir to provide the seals flush supplies, fit a pressure switch to the
seals flush manifold.
On ATEX Category 2 pumps with external seals flush supplies, you must configure your system so that the seals flush
supplies cannot be interrupted during pump operation (refer to Section 3.5):
You must fit flow switches in the seals flush pipelines of all systems.
If you use a sealing liquid reservoir to provide the seals flush supplies, you may also fit an optional level
switch to the reservoir.

if you use an external seals flush supply, you may also want to fit an optional pressure switch in the seals
flush supply pipeline.
On ATEX Category 2 pumps, if you use a sealing liquid which has a boiling point higher than 100
o
C, the temperature
of the sealing liquid ring must be monitored by a temperature transmitter, set to shut down the pump when the
temperature reaches 70
o
C: refer to Section 3.13.
1.3.3 Normal operation
The ATEX Category 1, 2 and 3 liquid ring pumps rely on the pumps constructional safety for the safe pumping of
flammable materials. In normal operation, as defined by this manual, the pump is safe for the pumping of flammable
materials where there is no risk that any particles larger than those specified in Table 2 could enter the pump at any
time, and so cause a potential ignition hazard.
Where there is no such risk, the pump can be used to pump flammable materials from gas group IIC, within the normal
parameters as defined in this manual.
The pump can be used with either flammable or non-flammable sealing liquids. Where flammable sealing liquids are
used, you must comply with the requirements of Section 3.3.
On ATEX Category 2 pumps configured for external seals flush supplies, the seals flush supplies must comply with the
requirements of Section 2.6. ATEX category 2 pumps configured for internal seals flush supplies must only be used
on clean applications.
The materials of construction of the pump are specified in Section 2.7. Before you use the pump, you must ensure
that these materials are compatible with the gases and vapours you will pump.
1.3.4 Abnormal operation
Pumping gases with temperatures greater than the system temperature classification (see Section 1.3.2).
Pumping hydrocarbon oxides.
Pumping oxidants.
Pumping pyrophoric gases.
Pumping gases that tend to self-decompose, or that are chemically unstable.
Pumping gases that contain particles larger than those specified in Table 2.
Use with oxygen enriched atmospheres.
Use of the pump with mineral oil as the seals flush liquid.
Use of the pump with a sealing liquid or seals flush liquid which does not comply with the requirements of
Section 2.6.
Pumping of, or use of, the pump in the presence of explosive dust atmospheres.
WARNING
The pump relies on the principle of constructional safety to pump flammable gases and vapours
safely. To conform with constructional safety requirements, it is your responsibility to ensure that
particles larger than those specified in Table 2 cannot enter the pump at any time.
WARNING
Misuse of the pump as described below is strictly prohibited.
