1.6 Safety

1.6.1 Summary of safety markings

These User Instructions contain specific safety
markings where non-observance of an instruction would
cause hazards. The specific safety markings are:

This symbol indicates electrical safety
instructions where non-compliance will involve a high
risk to personal safety or the loss of life.

This symbol indicates safety instructions where
non-compliance would affect personal safety and could
result in loss of life.

This symbol indicates “hazardous and toxic fluid”
safety instructions where non-compliance would affect
personal safety and could result in loss of life.

This symbol indicates safety instructions
where non-compliance will involve some risk to safe
operation and personal safety and would damage the
equipment or property.

safety requirements and applicable safety and health
laws and regulations.

1.6.3 Safety action

This is a summary of conditions and actions to help
prevent injury to personnel and damage to the
environment and to equipment. For products used
in potentially explosive atmospheres section 1.6.4
also applies.

NEVER DO MAINTENANCE WORK

WHEN THE UNIT IS CONNECTED TO POWER

GUARDS MUST NOT BE REMOVED WHILE

THE PUMP IS OPERATIONAL

DRAIN THE PUMP AND ISOLATE PIPEWORK
BEFORE DISMANTLING THE PUMP
The appropriate safety precautions should be taken
where the pumped liquids are hazardous.

FLUORO-ELASTOMERS (When fitted.)
When a pump has experienced temperatures over
250 ºC (482 ºF), partial decomposition of fluoro­elastomers (example: Viton) will occur. In this
condition these are extremely dangerous and skin
contact must be avoided.

This symbol indicates explosive atmosphere zone
marking according to ATEX. It is used in safety
instructions where non-compliance in the hazardous
area would cause the risk of an explosion.

This symbol is used in safety instructions to
remind not to rub non-metallic surfaces with a dry
cloth; ensure the cloth is damp. It is used in safety
instructions where non-compliance in the hazardous
area would cause the risk of an explosion.

This sign is not a safety symbol but indicates

an important instruction in the assembly process.

1.6.2 Personnel qualification and training

All personnel involved in the operation, installation,
inspection and maintenance of the unit must be
qualified to carry out the work involved. If the personnel
in question do not already possess the necessary
knowledge and skill, appropriate training and instruction
must be provided. If required the operator may
commission the manufacturer/supplier to provide
applicable training.

Always coordinate repair activity with operations and
health and safety personnel, and follow all plant

HANDLING COMPONENTS
Many precision parts have sharp corners and the
wearing of appropriate safety gloves and equipment
is required when handling these components. To lift
heavy pieces above 25 kg (55 lb) use a crane
appropriate for the mass and in accordance with
current local regulations.

THERMAL SHOCK
Rapid changes in the temperature of the liquid within
the pump can cause thermal shock, which can result
in damage or breakage of components and should be
avoided.

NEVER APPLY HEAT TO REMOVE IMPELLER
Trapped lubricant or vapor could cause an explosion.

HOT (and cold) PARTS
If hot or freezing components or auxiliary heating
supplies can present a danger to operators and
persons entering the immediate area action must be
taken to avoid accidental contact. If complete
protection is not possible, the machine access must
be limited to maintenance staff only, with clear visual
warnings and indicators to those entering the
immediate area. Note: bearing housings must not be
insulated and drive motors and bearings may be hot.

Page 5 of 36 flowserve.com

CPXV - WW/CW USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 85392698 10-09

If the temperature is greater than 80 ºC (175 ºF) or
below -5 ºC (20 ºF) in a restricted zone, or exceeds
local regulations, action as above shall be taken.

HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS
When the pump is handling hazardous liquids care
must be taken to avoid exposure to the liquid by
appropriate siting of the pump, limiting personnel
access and by operator training. If the liquid is
flammable and or explosive, strict safety procedures
must be applied.

Gland packing must not be used when pumping
hazardous liquids.

PREVENT EXCESSIVE EXTERNAL
PIPE LOAD
Do not use pump as a support for piping. Do not mount
expansion joints, unless allowed by Flowserve in writing,
so that their force, due to internal pressure, acts on the
pump flange.

NEVER RUN THE PUMP DRY
Liquid level controls are recommended to avoid the risk
of dry running.

ENSURE CORRECT LUBRICATION
(See section 5, Commissioning, startup, operation and
shutdown.)

ONLY CHECK DIRECTION OF
MOTOR ROTATION WITH COUPLING ELEMENT/
PINS REMOVED
Starting in reverse direction of rotation will damage the
pump.

START THE PUMP WITH OUTLET
VALVE PART OPENED
(Unless otherwise instructed at a specific point in the
User Instructions.)
This is recommended to minimize the risk of
overloading and damaging the pump or motor at full or
zero flow. Pumps may be started with the valve further
open only on installations where this situation cannot
occur. The pump outlet control valve may need to be
adjusted to comply with the duty following the run-up
process. (See section 5, Commissioning start-up,
operation and shutdown.)

DO NOT RUN THE PUMP AT
ABNORMALLY HIGH OR LOW FLOW RATES
Operating at a flow rate higher than normal or at a flow
rate with no back pressure on the pump may overload
the motor and cause cavitation. Low flow rates may
cause a reduction in pump/bearing life, overheating of
the pump, instability and cavitation/vibration.

1.6.4 Products used in potentially explosive
atmospheres

Measures are required to:

• Avoid excess temperature

• Prevent build up of explosive mixtures

• Prevent the generation of sparks

• Prevent leakages

• Maintain the pump to avoid hazard

The following instructions for pumps and pump units
when installed in potentially explosive atmospheres
must be followed to help ensure explosion protection.
For ATEX, both electrical and non-electrical equipment
must meet the requirements of European Directive
94/9/EC. Always observe the regional legal Ex
requirements eg Ex electrical items outside the EU may
be required certified to other than ATEX eg IECEx, UL.

1.6.4.1 Scope of compliance

Use equipment only in the zone for which it is
appropriate. Always check that the driver, drive
coupling assembly, seal and pump equipment are
suitably rated and/or certified for the classification of the
specific atmosphere in which they are to be installed.

Where Flowserve has supplied only the bare shaft
pump, the Ex rating applies only to the pump. The
party responsible for assembling the ATEX pump set
shall select the coupling, driver and any additional
equipment, with the necessary CE Certificate/
Declaration of Conformity establishing it is suitable for
the area in which it is to be installed.

The motor, coupling, pump thrust bearing and seal
can be made compliant with 94/9/EC ATEX Directive
for Equipment Categories 2 and 3 as required by the
duty conditions.

See the pump nameplate and Declaration of Conformity
for the pump classification. The pump column below
soleplate will also generally be to the same category
however in some applications the section of the pump
below soleplate and above liquid will have been
designed to Category 1, whereas above soleplate
Category 2 or 3 will apply. (See section 1.6.4.2.)

The pump will then be supplied with a copy of the
Certificate of Approval by a Notified Body and marked
with both categories. Users must pay particular
attention to pump operation and maintenance
instructions because of the hazard of the explosive
atmosphere.

Page 6 of 36 flowserve.com

CPXV - WW/CW USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 85392698 10-09

The output from a variable frequency drive (VFD) can
cause additional heating effects in the motor and so, for
pumps sets with a VFD, the ATEX Certification for the
motor must state that it is covers the situation where
electrical supply is from the VFD. This particular
requirement still applies even if the VFD is in a safe area.

1.6.4.2 Marking

An example of ATEX equipment marking is shown
below. The actual classification of the pump will be
engraved on the nameplate or in the case of
Category 1, below the soleplate on a special ATEX
marking plate.

Category is 1/2 or 1/3. In that situation, the 1 before
the /2 or /3 identifies the special case where the
pump is Category 1 below the soleplate and 2 or 3
above the soleplate.

For ATEX Group II Category 1 below the soleplate a
special ATEX marking plate is used. An example of
this is shown below.

ENSURE THE EQUIPMENT TEMPERATURE

CLASS IS SUITABLE FOR THE HAZARD ZONE
Pumps have a temperature class as stated in the

ATEX Ex rating on the nameplate. These are based
on an ambient in the range of –80 to +55 ºC (-112 to
131 ºF); refer to Flowserve for ambient temperatures
outside this range for this product.

The surface temperature on the pump is influenced
by the temperature of the liquid handled. The
maximum permissible liquid temperature depends on
the temperature class and must not exceed the
values in the table that follows.

The temperature rise at the seals and bearings and
due to the minimum permitted flow rate is taken into
account in the temperatures stated.

The responsibility for compliance with the specified
maximum liquid temperature is with the plant
operator.

Temperature classification “Tx” is used when the liquid
temperature varies and when the pump is required to be
used in differently classified potentially explosive
atmospheres. In this case the user is responsible for
ensuring that the pump surface temperature does not
exceed that permitted in its actual installed location.

Do not attempt to check the direction of rotation with the
coupling element/pins fitted due to the risk of severe
contact between rotating and stationary components.

Page 7 of 36 flowserve.com

CPXV - WW/CW USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 85392698 10-09

Where there is any risk of the pump being run against a
closed valve generating high liquid and casing external
surface temperatures it is recommended that users fit
an external surface temperature protection device.

Avoid mechanical, hydraulic or electrical overload by
using motor overload trips, temperature monitor or a
power monitor and make routine vibration monitoring
checks.

In dirty or dusty environments, regular checks must
be made and dirt removed from areas around close
clearances, bearing housings and motors.

The equipment utilises polymer based seals and
bearing surfaces that could be corroded if they
are in contact with unsuitable liquids or gases.
These surfaces are important for the operation of
the pump. Contact Flowserve if you are uncertain
about the performance of these materials with
respect to aggressive substances that may be
present in the hazardous area.

The pump casing must be flooded with liquid to the
minimum level on the dimensional General
Arrangement (GA) drawing, at any time that the pump
is operated. On pumps furnished to Group II
Category 1 below the soleplate, monitoring of the
level with a pump cut out on low level is required.

For pumps furnished to Category 1/2 and 1/3, if the
pump is operating remotely without regular checking,
it must be installed with continuous monitoring of
vibration level, set to shut down the pump at high
vibration levels, see also section 5.8.4.

1.6.4.4 Preventing the build up of explosive
mixtures

ENSURE THE PUMP IS PROPERLY FILLED

AND VENTED AND DOES NOT RUN DRY
Ensure the pump and relevant suction and discharge

pipeline system is totally filled with liquid at all times
during the pump operation, so that an explosive
atmosphere is prevented. In addition it is essential to
make sure that seal chambers, auxiliary shaft seal
systems and any heating and cooling systems are
properly filled.

If the operation of the system cannot avoid this
condition the fitting of an appropriate dry run
protection device is recommended (for example liquid
detection or a power monitor).

To avoid potential hazards from fugitive emissions of
vapor or gas to atmosphere the surrounding area
must be well ventilated.

1.6.4.5 Preventing sparks

To prevent a potential hazard from mechanical
contact, the coupling guard must be non-sparking
and anti-static for Category 2.

To avoid the potential hazard from random induced
current generating a spark, the earth contact on the
baseplate must be used.

Avoid electrostatic charge: do not rub non­metallic surfaces with a dry cloth; ensure cloth is
damp.

For ATEX the coupling must be selected to comply
with 94/9/EC. Correct coupling alignment must be
maintained.

1.6.4.6 Preventing leakage

The pump must only be used to handle liquids
for which it has been approved to have the correct
corrosion resistance.

Avoid entrapment of liquid in the pump and associated
piping due to closing of suction and discharge valves,
which could cause dangerous excessive pressures to
occur if there is heat input to the liquid. This can occur if
the pump is stationary or running.

Bursting of liquid containing parts due to freezing
must be avoided by draining or protecting the pump
and ancillary systems.

Where there is the potential hazard of a loss of a seal
barrier fluid or external flush, the fluid must be monitored.

If leakage of liquid to atmosphere can result in a
hazard, the installation of a liquid detection device is
recommended.

1.6.4.7 Maintenance to avoid the hazard

CORRECT MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED TO
AVOID POTENTIAL HAZARDS WHICH GIVE A
RISK OF EXPLOSION

The responsibility for compliance with maintenance
instructions is with the plant operator.

Page 8 of 36 flowserve.com

CPXV - WW/CW USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 85392698 10-09

To avoid potential explosion hazards during
maintenance, the tools, cleaning and painting
materials used must not give rise to sparking or
adversely affect the ambient conditions. Where there
is a risk from such tools or materials, maintenance
must be conducted in a safe area.

It is recommended that a maintenance plan and
schedule is adopted. (See section 6, Maintenance.)

1.7 Nameplate and safety labels

1.7.1 Nameplate

For details of nameplate, see the Declaration of
Conformity. Where a unit is ATEX Group II Category

1 below the soleplate there is an additional ATEX
marking plate (see section 1.6.4.2 Marking).

1.7.2 Safety labels

Oil lubricated units only:

1.8 Specific machine performance

For performance parameters see section 1.5, Duty
conditions. Where performance data has been

supplied separately to the purchaser these should be
obtained and retained with these User Instructions if
required.

1.9 Noise level

Attention must be given to the exposure of personnel
to the noise, and local legislation will define when
guidance to personnel on noise limitation is required,
and when noise exposure reduction is mandatory.
This is typically 80 to 85 dBA.

The usual approach is to control the exposure time to
the noise or to enclose the machine to reduce emitted
sound. You may have already specified a limiting
noise level when the equipment was ordered,
however if no noise requirements were defined, then
attention is drawn to the following table to give an
indication of equipment noise level so that you can
take the appropriate action in your plant.

Pump noise level is dependent on a number of
operational factors, flow rate, pipework design and
acoustic characteristics of the building, and so the
values given are subject to a 3 dBA tolerance and
cannot be guaranteed.

Similarly the motor noise assumed in the “pump and
motor” noise is that typically expected from standard
and high efficiency motors when on load directly driving
the pump. Note that a motor driven by an inverter may
show an increased noise at some speeds.

If a pump unit only has been purchased for fitting with
your own driver then the “pump only” noise levels in the
table should be combined with the level for the driver
obtained from the supplier. Consult Flowserve or a
noise specialist if assistance is required in combining
the values.

It is recommended that where exposure approaches
the prescribed limit, then site noise measurements
should be made.

The values are in sound pressure level LpA at 1 m
(3.3 ft) from the machine, for “free field conditions
over a reflecting plane”.

For estimating sound power level LWA (re 1 pW) then
add 14 dBA to the sound pressure value.

2 TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

2.1 Consignment receipt and unpacking

Immediately after receipt of the equipment it must be
checked against the delivery/shipping documents for its
completeness and that there has been no damage in
transportation. Any shortage and/or damage must be
reported immediately to Flowserve Pump Division and
must be received in writing within one month of receipt
of the equipment. Later claims cannot be accepted.

Check any crate, boxes or wrappings for any
accessories or spare parts that may be packed
separately with the equipment or attached to side
walls of the box or equipment.

Each product has a unique serial number. Check
that this number corresponds with that advised and
always quote this number in correspondence as well
as when ordering spare parts or further accessories.

2.2 Handling

Boxes, crates, pallets or cartons may be unloaded
using fork lift vehicles or slings dependent on their size
and construction.

2.3 Lifting

To avoid distortion, the pump unit

should be lifted as shown.
Pumps with drivers over approximately 7.5 kW, are

supplied with the pump packed as a separate item
from the driver. These and should be lifted
separately into their installed position, using lifting
points on the pump soleplate, and on the motor.

When lifting pumps with drivers fitted,
the resulting center of gravity may be above the lifting
points, and the method of slinging must prevent the
machine tipping during the lift.

Slings, ropes and other lifting gear must be positioned
where they cannot slip and where a balanced lift is
obtained.

For improved stability unbolt the driver and lift the
driver and pump separately.

For lifting the driver refer to the
dimension drawing of the driver.

CPXV - WW/CW USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 85392698 10-09

A crane must be used for all pump sets in
excess of 25 kg (55 lb). Fully trained personnel must
carry out lifting, in accordance with local regulations.

2.4 Storage

Store the pump in a clean, dry location
away from vibration. Leave piping connection covers in
place to keep dirt and other foreign material out of pump
casing. Turn pump at intervals to prevent brinelling of
the bearings and the seal faces, if fitted, from sticking.

The pump may be stored as above for up to 6
months. Consult Flowserve for preservative actions
when a longer storage period is needed.

2.5 Recycling and end of product life

At the end of the service life of the product or its
parts, the relevant materials and parts should be
recycled or disposed of using an environmentally
acceptable method and local requirements. If the
product contains substances that are harmful to the
environment, these should be removed and disposed
of in accordance with current regulations. This also
includes the liquids and/or gases that may be used in
the "seal system" or other utilities.

Make sure that hazardous substances are
disposed of safely and that the correct personal
protective equipment is used. The safety
specifications must be in accordance with the current
regulations at all times.

3 DESCRIPTION

3.1 Configurations

The pump is a modular designed centrifugal pump
that can be built to achieve almost all chemical liquid
pumping requirements. (See 3.2 and 3.3 below.)

3.2 Name nomenclature

The pump size will be engraved on the nameplate
typically as below:

150CPXV-WW400A

Nominal casing discharge size * in mm
CPXV line shaft configuration
D-Line wet end material

WW - grey cast iron
CW - Alloy

Nominal ISO maximum impeller diameter in mm
(125, 160, 200, 250, 315, 400 or 500)

A - inducer fitted

* The soleplate discharge size is generally one or two standard
pipe diameters greater to keep pipe losses down and ensure high
efficiency.

The typical nomenclature above is the general guide
to the CPXV WW/CW configuration description.
Identify the actual pump size and serial number from
the pump nameplate. Check that this agrees with the
applicable certification provided.

3.3 Design of major parts

3.3.1 Pump casing

The pump casing is designed for operation when
submerged in the sump liquid.

3.3.2 Impeller

An enclosed impeller is fitted having balance holes.
Where applicable an inducer will be fitted in front of
the impeller.

3.3.3 Shaft

The shaft has a keyed drive coupling. It is supported by
rolling bearing(s) above the soleplate and journal
bearing(s) below.

3.3.4 Bearing housing

The bearing housing has a bearing carrier which is
preset.

3.3.5 Pump bearings and lubrication

The pump is fitted with a thrust type ball bearing that
may be configured differently dependent on use.

The thrust bearing(s) may be grease or oil lubricated.
The journal bearings may be lubricated by product or

from an external source.

3.3.6 Soleplate seal

The modular design enables one of a number of
sealing options to be fitted.

3.3.7 Driver

The pump is normally driven by a flange mounted electric
motor. An air or hydraulic motor may be utilized.

The position of the terminal box can be changed by
rotating the complete motor. To do this, remove the
fasteners from the motor flange, rotate the motor and
re-fit the fasteners.

3.3.8 Accessories

Accessories may be fitted when specified by the
customer.
