8.5 WIO sensor
In case of overheating caused by wear, lack of
lubricant etc., the Pt100 sensors will trip an alarm
FM
and cut off the power supply at a preset temperature.
The maximum acceptable alarm temperature can be
seen in the table above.
Lack of oil may cause overheating and damage to
the mechanical shaft seals. The WIO sensor in the oil
chamber will trip the alarm if the oil quality is poor or
there is not enough oil in the oil chamber.
Do not use Shell Ondina X420 oil in pump fitted with
WIO sensor.
The oil chamber is filled with oil acting as lubricant and coolant for
both mechanical seals. The WIO sensor measures the water
content in the oil chamber:
•
0-20 % water in the oil causes no reaction
•
water content outside measuring range causes a warning
•
oil level too low causes an alarm.
The sensor consists of a plate capacitor which is immersed in the
oil and measures the electronic circuit, emitting a 4-20 mA
proportional current signal.
