Cleaning pump with flow switch - 13l; 28l/min. - action GEL.BABY 13

Product detailed description

Heating and cooling systems in commercial and industrial buildings often accumulate deposits that reduce efficiency and increase maintenance costs. Installers and service technicians regularly use cleaning pumps to flush these systems with appropriate solutions. This IVAR cleaning pump is specifically designed for such tasks, ensuring efficient removal of deposits without system downtime. It is commonly used in boiler systems, heat exchangers, and closed-loop cooling circuits where chemical cleaning is required.

For installations involving heat exchangers and boilers, this pump provides a controlled flow of cleaning solution. The system must be isolated from the main circuit, and the cleaning solution is introduced via the pump. The flow switch ensures that the pump operates only when fluid is moving, preventing dry running and damage. The transparent tank allows for visual monitoring of the solution level and clarity during the process.

Technical parameters

Supply voltage	230 V
Code	121.300.00
Brand	IVAR

The 230 V supply voltage is standard for fixed installations in electrical panels. The IP 54 rating ensures protection against dust and splashing water, making it suitable for use in workshops and utility areas. The flow rate of 28 l/min is critical for sizing the pump to the system volume and cleaning cycle duration. The 13 l tank capacity determines the volume of cleaning solution that can be processed in a single operation.Installation and connection To install the IVAR cleaning pump, ensure the system is depressurised and isolated from the main circuit. Connect the pump’s inlet and outlet to the system using standard pipe fittings. The pump is typically mounted vertically to allow the motor to remain above the solution. Check that the flow switch is correctly positioned to detect fluid movement. Common installation mistakes include incorrect orientation of the pump, which can lead to motor damage, and failure to secure the tank properly, risking leaks during operation.

Compatibility and accessories

This pump is compatible with IVAR’s GEL.BOY C 15 SUPER, GEL.BOY C 30, and GEL.BOY C 30 MATIC models, which offer different tank sizes and flow rates. For larger systems, the GEL.BOY C 30 MATIC with 24 l tank and 44 l/min flow rate is recommended. Accessories such as hoses, fittings, and cleaning solutions should be ordered separately to complete the setup.

Technical background for designers

The IVAR cleaning pump operates using a vertical impeller and motor assembly, which allows it to handle aggressive cleaning solutions without degradation. The transparent tank is made from high-strength plastic, ensuring durability and visibility during operation. The flow switch is integrated into the pump’s control system, ensuring that the pump only runs when fluid is flowing. The system’s efficiency is influenced by the viscosity of the cleaning solution and the pressure drop across the system being flushed.

Service and operation

During operation, check the flow switch regularly to ensure it is detecting fluid movement. The tank should be emptied and cleaned after each use to prevent residue buildup. The pump should be stored in a dry location when not in use. No specific service intervals are provided in the brief, but routine visual inspections are recommended to identify wear or damage.

Frequently asked questions

Can the IVAR cleaning pump be used with acidic cleaning solutions?
Yes, the pump is designed to handle aggressive fluids due to its high-strength plastic tank and sealed motor assembly.

Is the flow switch automatic or manual?
This model features a flow switch that activates the pump automatically when fluid is detected.

What is the maximum head of the pump?
The pump is capable of lifting fluid up to 15 m, depending on the model selected.

Can the pump be used for open-loop systems?
Yes, but the system must be configured to prevent dry running and ensure proper fluid return to the tank.
