3 DESCRIPTION
3.1 Configurations
3.1.1 General Description
The Flowserve submersible pumping unit is a
combination of
• a vertic
chanical seal
• a vertical pump bowl a
designed for sustained operation submerged in
water.
The
pump bowl assembly.
The rotating element of the pump bowl assembly is
driven from the bottom
connected to the motor shaft by a coupling.
Power is supplied to the motor through a submarine po
we
and extends to the starting equipment. Motor and
pump bowl assembly are connected to the riser
pipe. The riser pipe is threaded or flanged and
coupled in random lengths and the entire unit is
coupled to a wellhead assembly.
Each pumping unit has been individually manufac-
ccording to the special requirements of the
a
tured
customer. The technical data is given in Chapter
12.2 "Data sheet".

3.1.3 Motor serial number
The motor serial number is on the name plate on
the stator.
3.2 Design of major parts
The motor is filled with, lubricated and cooled by a
special mineral oil of high dielectric strength.

• Pump bowl assembly
• Non-return valve
• Power cable

or part of this delivery.
• ma
y cause damage to the
pumping unit
• renders Flo
wserve's warranty
void.
The motor does not require periodic oil changes.
The oil is circulated within the motor by pumping
action of the
thrust bearing disc. Separation between the motor oil and pump liquid at the shaft
exit is maintained by two mechanical seals.
The motor is pressure compensated.
The double mechanical seal system uses a pres-
balan
sure
ce process to equalize the pressure differential across the seals, minimizing leakage and
providing years of maintenance free service. The
inner seal diverts any pumped fluid leakage via a
communication line to a storage reservoir at the
bottom of the motor. The motor is vented to the
well by the balance line. As the oil expands, some
oil is pushed out of the motor through the balance
tube. As the oil cools down, pumped fluid is drawn
back into the lower casing at the bottom of the motor through the balance tube.

3.4 Preconditions at the installation
site
3.4.1 Survey of well
Always sound the well to make sure it is deep
enough to permit install
consisting of pump bowl assembly and motor. If
the exact diameter and depth of the well casing is
not known, "cage" the well following the procedure
outlined in Chapter 3.4.2 "Crooked well", Page 16.
Experience indicates that many wells have more
stri
that one
ng of casing installed and frequently
the lower sections are smaller in diameter than the
surface casing. Be certain the submersible pumping unit will pass into the well freely and hang well
above of the well bottom.
3.4.2 Crooked well
A well that is known to be crooked and that has not
ly accommodated a pumping unit of com-
previou
s
parable size must be "caged" before the submersible pumping unit is installed.
1. Prepare a cage of the same length and di-
the combined motor and pump
ameter a
s
bowl assembly, with 12 m to 15 m (40 feet to
50 feet) of the proper size of riser pipe.
2. Lower the cage into the well to the point at
h the pumping unit is to be placed.
c
whi
3. If the cage can be lowered to this point with-
out touching
the inner wall of the well, the
submersible pumping unit can be installed.
3.4.3 Development of the well
Do not use a new pumping unit to develop the well.
Developing, surging and freeing the well of sand
s
are con
idered a part of the well drillers contract
and should be accomplished by the use of a test
pumping unit.
ation of the pumping unit
maximum well draw-down level, although some
installations may require more submergence.
3.4.5 Effect of pumping sand
Flowserve does not guarantee the pumping unit to
be resistant
against the erosive action of sand, silt
or other abrasive materials suspended in water.
Pumping sand will adversely affect the motor be-
e the vibration produced in a worn pump bowl
s
cau
assembly will be transmitted to the motor and
could result in a shortened motor life.
3.4.6 Effect of air or gas
The presence of gases in the water may reduce
a
city and head of the pumping unit, thus de-
cap
creasing the hydraulic performance. Further, air or
gas in the water will cause deterioration of materials of the pumping unit sooner than under normal
conditions.
3.4.7 Oxidizing and corrosiv e effects of
r and gases
chemicals, a
i
Even if the composition of the pumped water is
n due to chemical analysis, it is not always
know
possible to predict the corrosive action of water on
the metals of the pumping unit.
In addition to chemicals, water may also contain
entrain
ed air or ga
ses that have a definite oxidizing
or corrosive action of their own. This action is accentuated by high velocities within the pump.
Such conditions are not recognizable in the chemical analysis of the water.
Conforming with the Standards of the Hydraulic
Institute of th
e United States and the p
ractice of all
reliable pump manufacturers, Flowserve does not
guarantee its pumps and motors to be resistant
against corrosive or electrolytic action.
Should you require motors or pumps to perform
unde
r oxidizi
ng or corrosive conditions, contact
Flowserve for further information.

Pumping th
unit br
e well at a rate at which the pumping

It is suggested that a method be provided for keeping a record of the water level above the suction
inlet.

feet) of
riser pipe submergence below the

3.5 Electrical requirements
3.5.1 General electrical requirements
The Byron Jackson submersible motor is designed
for across-line start, eliminating the need for reduced voltage starting equipment. Maximum current inrush when the motor is connected across the
line at full voltage will be limited to about 700 % of
the rated load current.
Because starting the motor at full voltage results in
high starting torque, the motor accelerates to operating speed very rapidly (within 0.8 seconds, typically), and current consumption correspondingly
drops to normal. The rated power requirements of
the motor are stated on the pump nameplate located on the wellhead.
Allowed combinations of voltage and frequency
variations during operation are classified according
IEC 60034 as being either Zone A or Zone B
(Figure 3) or according NEMA (see Figure 4).
Figure 3 Voltage and frequency limits acc. IEC 60034
Figure 4 Voltage and frequency limits acc. NEMA
The motor is capable of performing its rated torque
continuously within Zone A, but need not comply
fully with its performance at rated voltage and frequency (see rated point in Figure 3), and may exhibit some deviations. Temperature rises may be
higher than at rated voltage and frequency. For
conditions at the extreme boundaries of Zone A,
the temperature rises and temperatures may exceed the specified limits of temperature rise and
temperature by approximately 10 K.
Operation outside Zone A (within Zone B) may exhibit greater deviations from its performance at
rated voltage and frequency than in Zone A. Temperature rises may be higher than at rated voltage
and frequency and most likely will be higher than
those in Zone A. Extended operation at the
perimeter of Zone B is not recommended.
Low voltage is a serious problem since the operating motor current is increased, resulting in additional motor heating. However, the motor is designed to operate continuously at 110 % of rated
current, so that some reduction in voltage can be
tolerated as long as it is not also accompanied by
an overload of the motor.

With variations in voltage, the motor characteristics
will, in general, vary as given in Table 2.
Voltage 110 % 90 %
Speed Increase 1 % Decrease 1.5 %
Efficiency (full load) Increase 0.5 % Decrease 1 %
Power factor (full load) Decrease 3 % No change
Current (starting) Increase 11 % Decrease 11 %
Current (full load) Decrease 8 % Increase 11 %
Temperature Decrease 2 % Increase 5 %
Table 2 Motor characteristics at varying voltage
Rated or full load current refers to the amperage
drawn by the motor at nameplate output, frequency
and voltage at the motor terminals. The maximum
allowable current (except momentarily at start-up)
is 110 % of the rated value.
The voltage on all three phases should be evenly
balanced as closely as can be read on the usually
available commercial voltmeter, because the current unbalance will be in the order of 6 to 10 times
the voltage unbalance. Running the motor with the
unbalanced voltage will lead to increased temperature and decreased motor life time, and therefore
must be avoided.
The value given in Chapter 12.2 "Data sheet", is a
standard value for the operating point. If the actual
operational current in the operating point of the
pump bowl assembly lies under this given value,
the switch must be adjusted lower so that there is
effective protection and malfunctions can be indicated in time.
DANGER
Do not set the motor protection ad-
justment higher than the highest permissible value given in Chapter 12.2
"Data sheet".
Do not test the perfect functioning o
a motor protection switch by intentional single-phasing.
3.5.3 Short circuit protection
To prevent short circuiting of the power cable and
the motor, safety measures must be taken according to local ordinances.
Guide values for the safety fuse sizes can be taken
from Chapter 12.2 "Data sheet".
Poor voltage regulations of an engine-driven generator, if the power is derived from such a source,
can be very disadvantageous to the motor. Thus,
Flowserve assumes no responsibility for pumping
units operated on such equipment unless agreed
on in writing.
Also, because of the unpredictable characteristics
and past experiences associated with the use of
phase converters, Flowserve must void all guarantees for applications that incorporate these devices
as a means of obtaining three phase power.
3.5.2 Motor protection
To protect the motor against power overload, an
inverse time-lag overload relay must be provided,
sensitive to phase failure and which compensates
for temperature.
The over current relay for the switchgear and the
safety fuses can be adjusted or selected according
to Chapter 12.2 "Data sheet".
The adjustment of the motor protection switch
(thermally delayed over current relay) must be
done according to the value given in Chapter 12.2
"Data sheet".
