4Operation

Read the instructions carefully and pay special attention to the warnings!

4.1 Important check and monitoring during operation

Daily checks

- Shaft seal (SSS and DMS) If leakage from the shaft seal can lead to dangerous situations, daily visual inspection for leakage is recommended.

- If leakage is detected the risk should be evaluated and maintenance of the seal should be planned accordingly.

Other checks

Motor

- The bearing life is heavily dependent on the operating condition of the pump i.e. pressure, ambient temperature, motor load and pressure variations.

- The motor should be serviced according to the guidelines in the motor instruction manual

- The motor should be relubricated with the intervals given in chapter 6.6 “Reblurication intervals”.

In order to detect motor bearing failure, the condition of the bearings must be monitored regularly. It is recommended that the condition of the bearings is checked every 2000 hours of operation. The condition of the bearings can be be monitored in several ways eg. by means of vibration analysis (shock pulse measurements). After checking the bearing condition, it must be evaluated if it is OK to continue or else maintenance of the bearings must be planned accordingly.

6 Technical data

It is important to observe the technical data during installation, operation and maintenance. Inform personnel about the technical data.

6.2 Technical information and description of mechanical shaft seals

General considerations regarding mechanical shaft seals The basic working principle of a mechanical seal is that the seal faces are cooled and lubricated by the process media

or the flush media. If the seal faces are not cooled and lubricated, the temperature of the faces will increase to be above the temperature at normal running conditions. This is referred to as “dry running”. Dry running will shorten the lifetime of the seal and eventually cause the seal to fail. Dry running is not allowed in ATEX applications. Due to this working principle, there will be a small controlled leakage from the seal during normal operation. This leakage will increase if seal failure occurs. When a seal is failing the degree of leakage can go from a drop leakage to a flush leakage depending on the type of failure.

Note: The risk of leakage from a failing seal must be considered if pumping flammable products or other products where leakage can lead to hazardous situations.

Single mechanical shaft seal (SSS) The SSS is cooled and lubricated by the process media.

The process media must always be present during operation to avoid dry running. The Critical temperature range and the minimum flow rate of the process media are stated in chapter “2 Special conditions for safe use”.

Double mechanical shaft seal (DMS) If continuous presence of process media cannot be guaranteed or leakage of the process media is unacceptable, a DMS

should be applied. The DMS is cooled and lubricated by the process media and/or the flush media. Flush media must always be present during operation of the pump to avoid dry running. Requirements for minimum flows and max temperatures of the flush media are stated in chapter "2 Special conditions for safe use”.

There are two basic flush principles for DMS:

- Buffer fluid system having a pressure lower than the pumped media.

This principle will flush away possible solidifications and residues from the primary seal. It is the product media which lubricates the primary seal faces and the flush media lubricating the secondary seal faces.

- Barrier fluid system having a pressure of minimum 1bar above the pump inlet pressure.

This principle will cool and lubricate both the primary and secondary seal. The barrier principle can be used in many applications but should be used if the seal configuration is SiC/SiC and the process media viscosity is less than 1cP.

6 Technical data

It is important to observe the technical data during installation, operation and maintenance. Inform personnel about the technical data.

6.3 Torque specifications

The noise measurements are carried out using the original motor and shroud, at the approximate Best Efficiency Point (BEP) with water at ambient temperature and at 50Hz.

Very often, the noise level generated by the flow through the process system (e.g. valves, pipes, tanks etc.) is much higher than that generated by the pump itself. Therefore, it is important to consider the noise level from the total system and take the necessary precautions with regard to personal safety if required.

6 Technical data

It is important to observe the technical data during installation, operation and maintenance. Inform personnel about the technical data.

6.6 Relubrication intervals

The table is for an internal bearing temperature of 100°C. An increase in temperature of 15°C (ambient or internal in bearings), will reduce the greasing interval and bearing lifetime by 50%. The lubrication interval for vertically mounted pumps is half the value stated in the table.
