Suction pressure is more than specs. in KPM & WKPM device (more than -0.1 bar). However, it has been observed
that in WKPM suction pressure is not stable.

Root Cause by Team:

 1) Valve plate notch is of smaller size leading to venturi effect. Also casing is not reinforced completely for sound.
Hence, noise being observed.
2) Suction pressure is lower than specs. In both the KPM Pump K3V112DTP1Y9R-9P59-AV and WKPM Pump
K3V112DT-1X7R-9ND9-14BV (Standard >=0.1 Bar). This is also leading to increase in venturi effect.
KPM WKPM

Solution Proposed by WKPM:

1) Low noise pump, Casting reinforcement and valve plate notch is bigger. This helps in noise reduction by 4 dbA
2) Low noise pump material weight will increase by 5-6 kg due to addition of casting reinforcement.
3) Low noise and regular pump are available in India market for usage.

Actions:
1) Noisy pump to be sent to KPM, Japan for noise check…..Resp. WKPM
2) Detailed comparison between regular and low noise pump will be shared by 23 rd May…….Resp. WKPM
