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.

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

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

This symbol indicates explosive atmosphere 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.

The sign is not a safety symbol but indicates an important instruction in the assembly process.

This symbol indicates potential risks

connected with extremely high temperatures.

This symbol indicates potential risks

connected with extremely low temperatures.

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

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

START THE PUMP WITH OUTLET VALVE FULLY OPEN This is recommended to avoid the risk of overloading and damaging the pump motor where greater power is taken at low or shut off flow. Pump outlet valve shall be adjusted to comply with the duty following the

Page 4 of 40

HWX USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH - 07/14

run-up process (See section 5 Commissioning, startup, operation and shutdown).

NEVER RUN THE PUMP DRY

INLET VALVES TO BE FULLY OPEN WHEN PUMP IS RUNNING Running the pump at zero flow or below the recommended minimum flow continuously will cause damage to the seal.

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.

When ambient temperatures are likely to drop below freezing point, the pump and any cooling and flushing arrangements must be drained or otherwise protected.

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

NEVER DO MAINTENANCE WORK WHILST THE UNIT IS CONNECTED TO POWER

HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS When the pump is handling hazardous liquids care must be taken to avoid exposure to the liquid by appropriate sitting 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.

condition these are extremely dangerous and skin contact must be avoided.

GUARDS MUST NOT BE REMOVED WHILE

PUMP IS OPERATIONAL

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 vapour could cause an explosion.

If hot or freezing components or auxiliary heating supplies can present a danger to operators, they must be shielded to avoid accidental contact. If complete protection is not possible, the machine access must be limited to maintenance staff only. Note: bearing housings must not be insulated and drive motors and bearings may be hot.

If the temperature is greater than 68 °C (155 °F) o r below 5 °C (41 °F) in a restricted zone, or exceeds local regulations, action as above shall be taken.

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. Both electrical and non-electrical equipment must meet the requirements of European Directive 94/9/EC.

1.6.4.1 Scope of compliance

HOT AND COLD PARTS

DRAIN 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 °C (482 ºF), partial decomposition of fluoroelastomers (example: Viton) will occur. In this

Page 5 of 40

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

HWX USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH - 07/14

party responsible for assembling the 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 output from a variable frequency drive (VFD) can cause additional heating affects in the motor and so, for pump sets with a VFD, the ATEX Certification for the motor must state that it covers the situation where electrical supply is from the VFD. This is 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.

II 2 GD c IIC135ºC (T4) Equipment Group

I = Mining II = Non-mining

Category 2 or M2 = High level protection 3 = normal level of protection

Gas and/or Dust G = Gas; D= Dust

c = Constructional safety (in accordance with EN13463-5)

b = Control of ignition source (in accordance with EN13463-6) Gas Group IIA – Propane (Typical) IIB – Ethylene (Typical) IIC – Hydrogen (Typical)

Maximum surface temperature (Temperature Class) (see section 1.6.4.3)

1.6.4.3 Avoiding excessive surface temperatures

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 ATEX temperature class and must not exceed the values in the table that follows.

* The table only takes the ATEX temperature class into consideration. Pump design or material, as well as component design or material, may further limit the maximum working temperature of the liquid.

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.

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 or a Power Monitor and make routine vibration monitoring. In dirty or dusty environments, regular checks must be made and dirt removed from areas around close clearances, bearing housings and motors.

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

Page 6 of 40

HWX USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH - 07/14

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 (eg liquid detection or a Power Monitor).

To avoid potential hazards from fugitive emissions of vapour 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.

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.

The coupling must be selected to comply with 94/9/EC and correct alignment must be maintained.

1.6.4.5 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.

1.6.4.6 Maintenance to the centrifugal pump 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.

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).to include the following.

a) Any auxiliary systems installed must be

monitored, if necessary, to ensure they function correctly.

b) Gland packings must be adjusted correctly to

give visible leakage and concentric alignment of the gland follower to prevent excessive temperature of the packing or follower.

c) Check for any leaks from gaskets and seals. The

correct functioning of the shaft seal must be checked regularly

d) Check bearing lubricant level, and if the hours run

show a lubricant change is required.

e) Check that the duty condition is in the safe

operating range for the pump.

f) Check vibration, noise level and surface

temperature at the bearings to confirm satisfactory operation.

g) Check dirt and dust is removed from areas

around close clearances, bearing housings and motors.

h) Check coupling alignment and re-align if

necessary.

1.8 Specific machine performance

For performance parameters see section 1.5, Duty conditions. When the Contract requirement specifies

these to be incorporated into user instructions these are included here. 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.

2.0 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 and received in writing within one month of receipt of the equipment. Latter claims cannot be accepted. Check any create/boxes/wrappings for any accessories or spare parts, which 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

Four lifting lugs are provided on the baseplate to lift the complete unit.

Take care by applying slings or ropes about

auxiliary piping and seal systems.

HWX USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH - 07/14

A crane must be used for all pump sets in excess of 25kg (55lb). Fully trained personnel must carry out lifting, in accordance with local regulations. The driver and pump weights are recorded on their respective nameplates.

2.4 Storage

If the unit will not be put immediately into service, it should be stored in a dry room. To avoid any damage during the storage period, the influence of any low or high frequency vibration must be totally inhibited. If the pump is delivered sealed in a plastic-wrapper, it is of max. importance to avoid any damage of that wrapper, because this will protect the pump against humidity. Therefore it must be checked if this wrapper has become cracked and if so, the wrapper must be renewed.

2.4.1 Long period storage

If the pump is delivered in a plastic bag, the preservations stands up for one year. If the storage period exceeds this time, the preservation must be checked and renewed. Also the air tight plastic bag must be changed. Moreover we recommend to order a Flowserve Service Engineer for checking the pump before the first start up.
