The document provides product information for the ACE4 OptiLine pump. It can pump fluids from 8-175 l/min at pressures up to 16 bar for applications like circulation, transfer, lubrication and cooling. The pump uses a magnetic coupling to transfer power from an electric motor to the pump shaft without contact. It has a pressure relief valve, can operate at temperatures from -20 to +180°C and viscosities from 1.4 to 1500 cSt. Dimensions, performance curves, materials and accessories are also specified.

Flow volume: 8 - 175 l/min Max differential pressure: 16 bar Applications: Circulation and transfer
1. Applications 1.1 Functionality The ACE OptiLine pump is used for a number of different fluids: Fuel oil, vegetable oil, hydraulic oil and other hydraulic fluids, polymers, emulsions and any non-aggressive fluid with sufficient lubricating properties. If requested, the ACE pump may be certified according to any of following classification societies: DNV, BV, LRS, ABS, RS, GL, RINA, KR, NK, RMR or CCS.
1.2 Applications Typical applications are: - Lubrication of diesel engines, gears, gas and steam turbines, hydro turbines and paper machines - Circulation for cooling and filtration in large machineries, hydraulic systems and transformer oil for insulation in transformers - Transfer onboard ships, in oil factories, refineries, tank farms etc - Fuel supply duties for diesel engines
1.3 Installation The pump is designed to be flange-mounted to its electric motor via a connecting frame and a magnetic coupling. By the angle bracket, the pump might be mounted horizontally or vertically. The ACE pump can also be mounted on valve blocks called T4 or T5. As standard, the pump is delivered including counter flanges (IMO AB design).

3. Technical Data 3.1 Pressure Information Pressure relief valve The pump is equipped with an integral pressure relief valve with internal return, limiting the differential pressure across the pump and protecting the pump. Should the discharge line be blocked, the relief valve will open by the pressure. The valve is adjustable for different opening pressures. The value of the pressure limit can be set at the factory and should be adjusted at installation (see Service, Maintenance and Installaton for ACE OptiLine generation 4). The maximum pressure accumulation varies with pump size, speed and viscosity, but will normally not exceed 4 bar. The valve has a maximum set pressure of 16 bar.
Inlet pressure Minimum inlet pressure (suction capability) is dependent on fluid viscosity and rotation speed. It increases with decreasing viscosity and decreasing speed. Information about minimum inlet pressure for each individual duty case can be obtained from IMO AB or pump selection software WinPump. Maximum inlet pressure is 7 bar.
Discharge pressure Maximum discharge pressure is 16 bar.
Differential pressure Maximum differential pressure is 16 bar but reduced at low viscosities according to table below Viscosity [cSt] 1,4 2 6 10 >12 Max. diff. pressure [bar] 6,9 8 12,4 15 16 Refer to your IMO representative or use the pump selection software WinPump to determine the exact operating limits.
3.2 Driver information
Driver type The power from motor to the OptiLine ACE pump is transmitted without mechanical contact over a magnetic coupling. A coupling hub with a set of permanent magnets is mounted on the pump shaft. This hub is totally enclosed by a stainless steel can. The motor hub with another set of permanent magnets rotates on the outside of this can. Thus the pumped liquid is totally confined within the pump without the use of a conventional shaft seal. The pump is designed for this type of drive only.
Speed The maximum speed is 3600 rpm. For higher speeds, contact IMO AB.
The pump is designed to operate in one rotational direction only, as standard clockwise when facing the shaft end. Pumps for CCW operation can be delivered on special request. For shorter periods of time, a few minutes for emptying a discharge line, the pump may be operated in reverse direction, provided the back pressure is limited to 3 bar.

4.3 Steam tracing
During cold start-up conditions, high viscosity could cause the rated torque for the coupling to be exceeded. The IMO OptiLine pump series have a way to warm up the pump by leading steam into small channels at the front cover. This is recommended if cold upstart can be assumed.
