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 have the necessary knowledge and skills, appropriate training and instruction shall be provided. If required the operator may commission the manufacturer/supplier to provide applicable training.
Always coordinate repair activities with operations and health and safety personnel, and follow all plant safety requirements and applicable safety and health laws and regulations.
1.6.3 Safety action
This is a summary of conditions and actions to 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 IN OPERATION
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 fluor­elastomers (example: Viton) will occur. In this condition these are extremely dangerous and skin contact must be avoided.
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 vapour 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.
If the temperature is higher than 68 °C (175 °F) or below 5 °C (20 °F) in a restricted zone, or exceeds local regulations, action as above shall be taken.
HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS When the pump is handling hazardous liquids care shall be taken to avoid exposure to the liquid by appropriate situating the pump, limiting personnel access and by operator training. If the liquid is flammable and/or explosive, strict safety procedures shall be applied.
Gland packing shall not be used when pumping hazardous liquids.

PHL USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 00079593 – 10/10
appropriate. Always check that the driver, seal and
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.
ENSURE CORRECT LUBRICATION (See section 5, Commissioning, start-up, operation and shutdown.)
START THE PUMP WITH OUTLET VALVE PARTLY 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 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.)
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.
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 shall be followed to help ensure explosion protection. Both electrical and non-electrical equipment shall meet the requirements of European Directive 94/9/EC.
1.6.4.1 Scope of compliance
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 is only applicable to the pump. The party responsible for assembling the pump set shall select the 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 pumps 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 particular requirement is applicable, 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 135 ºC (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 prEn13463-5)
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 a maximum ambient of 40 °C (104 °F); refer to Flowserve for higher ambient temperatures.
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 shall not exceed the values in the table that follows.
Use equipment only in the zone for which it is

Consult Flowserve 115 °C (239 °F) * 180 °C (356 °F) * 275 °C (527 °F) * 400 °C (752 °F) *
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 the pump could be installed in different hazarous atmospheres. In this case the user is responsible for ensuring that the pump surface temperature does not exceed that permitted in the particular hazardous atmosphere.
If an explosive atmosphere exists during the installation, do not attempt to check the direction of rotation by starting the pump not completely filled. Even a short run time may give a high temperature resulting from contact between rotating and stationary components.
If there is any possibility of risk of the pump being run against a closed valve, generating high liquid and casing external surface temperatures it is recommended that an external surface temperature protection device will be mounted.
Avoid mechanical, hydraulic or electrical overload by using motor overload trips, temperature monitoring or power monitoring and make routine vibration monitoring checks.
In dirty or dusty environments, regular checks must be made and dirt removed from areas around close clearances 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 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 running protection device is recommended (eg liquid detection or a power monitor).
To avoid potential hazards from fugitive emissions of vapour or gas to the atmosphere, the surrounding area must be well ventilated.
1.6.4.5 Preventing sparks
To prevent a potential hazard from mechanical contact, the motor stool guard shall 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 base plate must be used.
Avoid electrostatic charge: do not rub non-metallic surfaces with a dry cloth; ensure cloth is damp.
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 risk of a loss of a seal barrier fluid or external flush, the fluid must be monitored.
If leakage of liquid to the 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 6 of 31
PHL USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 00079593 – 10/10
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.)

1.8 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
When pump noise level exceeds 85 dBA attention must be given to prevailing Health and Safety Legislation, to limit the exposure of plant operating personnel to the noise. The usual approach is to control 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 machines above a certain power level will exceed 85 dBA. In such situations consideration must be given to the fitting of an acoustic enclosure to meet local regulations.
Pump noise level is dependent on a number of factors ­the type of motor fitted, the operating capacity, pipework design and acoustic characteristics of the building. Typical sound pressure levels measured in dB, and A-weighted are shown in the table below (L figures are indicative only, they are subject to a +3 dB tolerance, and cannot be guaranteed.
The values are based on the noisiest electric motors that are likely to be encountered. They represent sound pressure levels at 1 m (3.3 ft) from the directly driven pump, for "free field over a reflecting plane".
If a pump unit only has been purchased, for fitting with your own driver, then the "pump only" noise levels from the table should be combined with the level for the driver obtained from the supplier. If the motor is driven by an inverter, it may show an increase in noise level at some speeds. Consult a Noise Specialist for the combined calculation.
For units driven by equipment other than electric
motors or units contained within enclosures, see the accompanying information sheets and manuals.
Typical sound pressure level, dBA (LpA at 1 m reference 20μPa)
). The
pfA
Motors in this range are generally job specific and noise levels should be calculated based on actual equipment installed.
For 960 rpm reduce 1450 rpm values by 5 dBA.

4 INSTALLATION
Equipment operated in hazardous locations shall comply with the relevant explosion protection regulations. See section 1.6.4, Products used in
potentially explosive atmospheres.
4.1 Location
The pump should be located to allow room for access, ventilation, maintenance and inspection with ample headroom for lifting and should be as close as practicable to the supply of liquid to be pumped.
Refer to the general arrangement drawing for the pump set.
4.2 Part assemblies
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the seal system is properly installed to the pump.
4.3 Foundation
There are many methods of installing pump units to their foundations. The correct method depends on the size of the pump unit, its location and noise vibration limitations. Non-compliance with the provision of correct foundation and installation may lead to failure of the pump and, as such, would be outside the terms of the warranty. Ensure the following requirements are met. The base plate should be mounted onto a firm foundation, either an appropriate thickness of quality concrete or sturdy steel framework. (It should NOT be distorted or pulled down onto the surface of the foundation, but should be supported to maintain the original alignment.) Concrete is the most suitable material for the base.
The base should contain recesses for the grouting of the foundation bolts. Figure 3 shows a number of variations on the design of the foundation bolts.
Make these recesses in the base in accordance
with the above figure, referring to the dimensional drawing of the pump unit.
If a concrete base is used, observe the following points:
do not place the pump unit on the base until it
is completely set;
fill the recesses with water at least 24 hours
before grouting the foundation bolts. Wetting the recesses will strengthen the bond between the mortar of the foundation bolts and the base;
remove the water from the recesses when the
foundation bolts are being grouted;
4.3.1 Positioning the foundation bolts
Lift the pump unit above the base in
accordance with the lifting instructions described in § 3.1.
Place the foundation bolts with nuts and
washers in the foundation frame.
Take the following points into account when positioning the pump unit:
The foundation bolts should be suspended
freely in the recesses of the base.
The level of the center line of the suction and
discharge nozzles should correspond with the center line of the pipes to be connected.
The position of the suction and discharge
nozzles in the y and z directions (see Figure 2) and
The vertical distance between the base and the
foundation frame (40 mm) before filling with mortar.
Lay steel filler blocks 25 mm thick on the base
on either side of the foundation bolts.
Place the pump unit on the filler blocks.  Lay thin filler plates under the adjusting bolts.  Adjust the pump unit so that it is roughly level
and at the required height by turning the adjusting bolts in the welded-on adjusting bosses of the foundation frame so that the suction and discharge flange can be mounted on the pipe flanges without stress. There should be a parallelism of 0.1 mm between the flanges to be connected.

Fill the space between the filler blocks and the
foundation frame with filler plates.
Check that the bolts fit easily into the bolt holes of
the flanges.
Fix the foundation bolts by filling the recesses with
non-shrinkable mortar.
Let the mortar set in accordance with the
specifications.
4.4 Adjusting the foundation frame
To make sure that the unit is leveled, use a calibrated machine levelwith an accuracy of 0.02 mm/m1. Measure along the shaft of the electric motor in both directions, or, if this is not possible, along the seal plate. If the mechanical seal is fitted with a guard, this should be removed.
Level the foundation frame in the direction A-B
with an accuracy of 0.05 mm/m1 using the adjusting bolts, see Figure 3. Fill the space between the filler blocks and the foundation frame with thin filler plates.
Tighten the foundation nuts, along the A-B axis, by
applying a moment equal to ¼ the maximum permissible moment (M
) of the foundation bolt.
max
Level the foundation frame in the directions C-D,
E-F and G-H with an accuracy of 0.05 mm/m1 using the adjusting bolts. Fill the space between the filler blocks and the foundation frame with thin filler plates.
Tighten the other foundation nuts by applying a
moment equal to ¼ the maximum permissible moment (M
) of the foundation bolt.
max
Check that the nuts of the foundation bolts are still
tight.
Place the electric motor on the pump center line,
using shims between the supporting faces of the foundation frame and the motor base.The maximum allowable deviation in axial or radial direction is 0.05 mm and depends on the type of coupling.
Retract all foundation bolts and check that the
foundation frame is level in all directions with an accuracy of 0.05 mm/m1.
Check the position and level along the center
line of the suction and discharge nozzles. Adjust, if necessary, by following the procedures given above.
Fill in the outer edges of the foundation frame,
including filler plates, completely, using non­shrinkable mortar (e.g. Pagel V1 or equivalent) and let this set in accordance with the specifications.
Grout the foundation frame, via the fill opening
(see Figure 3), completely, using non­shrinkable concrete and let this set in accordance with the specifications.
Check that the nuts of the foundation bolts are
still tight and tighten, if necessary, by applying the correct moment (¼ M
max
).
If the guard of the mechanical seal was
removed for levelling, replace it in the correct position.
If necessary, draw up a report on the whole
adjustment procedure.
4.4.1 Baseplate not Intended for Grouting but Installed on Concrete Foundations
According to the figure 4.3.1 and 4.4.1 the baseplate will not be grouted but only a sealing shall be provided. During the preparation, as indicated on the General Arrangement drawing a certain number of openings into the sealing must be guaranteed. After the sealing the blocks used to realise the openings must be removed. Blocks has to be wider than the baseplate longitudinal beam in order to guarantee the opening for the drainage.
The filler grout must be of a non­shrinkable kind and fill up the space between the beams and the concrete poor. Make sure that filler grout is dry before removing the blocks.

4.5 Initial alignment
4.5.1 Thermal expansion
The PHL pump and motor are designed such that they will cope with the thermal expansion for pump application and cope with the pumping temperature as specified on the pump data sheet. There is no need to check the alignment at normal service conditions.
4.5.2 Alignment methods
4.5.2.1.1 Types of misalignment
There are two types of shaft misalignment: angular and offset. Therefore, two sets of measurements and corrections are required. Both types of misalignment can occur in horizontal and vertical planes and are present in most applications.
A) Angular misalignment In angular misalignment, the centre line of the shafts intersect, but are not on the same axis.
Figure 4.5
B) Offset misalignment In offset misalignment, the shaft centre lines are parallel but do not intersect.
Ensure pump and driver are isolated
electrically and the half couplings are disconnected.
The alignment MUST be checked. Although the pump will have been aligned at the factory it is most likely that this alignment will have been disturbed during transportation or handling. If necessary, align the motor to the pump, not the pump to the motor.
4.5.2.1 Shaft/Coupling alignment
Shaft alignment must be correct for
successful operation. Rapid wear, noise, vibration and actual damage to the equipment may be caused by shaft misalignment. The shafts must be aligned within the limits given within this section.
Adjustment to correct the alignment in one direction may alter the alignment in another direction. Always check in all directions after making any adjustment. Coupled equipment must be aligned to minimise unnecessary stresses in shafts, bearings and coupling. Flexible couplings will not compensate for appreciable misalignment. Foundation settling, thermal expansion or nozzle loads resulting in baseplate/foundation deflection and vibration during operation may require the full coupling misalignment capability.
Figure 4.6.1 – offset misalignment
Figure 4.6.2 – combination of offset and angular misalignment
4.5.2.2 Alignment using the Reverse Alignment Method
The following practices are recommended when using the reverse method of alignment. These should be carried out prior to main alignment.
Figure 4.7

PHL USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 00079593 – 10/10
Paral lel
Angul ar
CHECK FOR SOFT FOOT This is a check to ensure that there is no undue stress
on the driver holding down bolts; owing to non-level baseplate or twisting. To check, remove all shims and clean surfaces and tighten down driver to the baseplate. Set a dial indicator as shown in sketch and loosen off the holding down bolt while noting any deflection reading on the Dial Test Indicator - a maximum of 0.05 mm ( 0.002 in.) is considered acceptable but any more will have to be corrected by adding shims, for example, if the Dial Test Indicator shows the foot lifting 0.15 mm ( 0.006 in.) then this is the thickness of shim to be placed under that foot. Tighten down and repeat the same procedure on all other feet until all are within tolerance
If the driver is an electric motor with sleeve bearings then the magnetic centre at which the rotor will run must be set. This is usually done by lining up a groove in the shaft to a pointer fixed to the motor body (refer to Motor Manufacture’s instructions).
4.5.2.3 Alignment using a graph (Reverse Alignment)
Ensure pump and driver are isolated
electrically and the half couplings are disconnected.
The alignment MUST be checked. Although the pump will have been aligned at the factory it is most likely that this alignment will have been disturbed during transportation or handling. If necessary, align the motor to the pump, not the pump to the motor. The alignment is achieved by adding or removing shims under the motor feet and also moving the motor horizontally as required. In some cases where the alignment cannot be achieved it will be necessary to move the pump before recommencing the above procedure.
For couplings with narrow flanges use a dial indicator as shown below to check both parallel and angular alignment.
Figure 4.8
Maximum permissible misalignment at working temperature:
Parallel 0.05 mm (0.002 in.) TIR Angular 0.025 mm (0.001 in.) TIR
Pumps with thick flanged non-spacer couplings can be aligned by using a straight-edge across the outside diameters of the coupling hubs and measuring the gap between the machined faces using feeler gauges, measuring wedge or calipers.
When the electric motor has sleeve bearings it is necessary to ensure that the motor is aligned to run on its magnetic centreline.
Refer to the motor manual for details.
A button (screwed into one of the shaft ends) is normally fitted between the motor and pump shaft ends to fix the axial position.
If the motor does not run in its magnetic centre the resultant additional axial force may overload the pump thrust bearing.
Complete piping as below and see sections
4.7, “Final shaft alignment check” up to and including section 5, “Commissioning, start-up, operation and shutdown” before connecting driver and checking actual rotation.
4.5.3 Shims
The shims between the equipment feet and mounting surface should be clean and dry. This is especially critical for pumps in service for sometime and need to be realigned. Water, dirt and rust may change the height of the shim pack over a period of time. Shims should be made large enough to support the weight of the equipment on its mounting foot. Do not use many thin shims as this may result in a spongy mounting.
Figure 4.9 Recommended shim design
Move the equipment vertically by adding or removing the calculated thickness of shims. Torque holding down bolts to required values.

4.6 Piping
Protective covers are fitted to the pipe connections to prevent foreign bodies entering during transportation and installation. Ensure that these covers are removed from the pump before connecting any pipes.
4.6.1 Suction and discharge pipework
In order to minimize friction losses and hydraulic noise in the pipework it is good practice to choose pipework that is one or two sizes larger than the pump suction and discharge. Typically, main pipework velocities should not exceed 2 m/s (6 ft/sec) suction and 3 m/s (9 ft/sec) on the discharge.
Take into account the available NPSH which shall be higher than the required NPSH of the pump.
Never use the pump as a support for piping.
Maximum allowable forces and moments on the pump flanges vary with the pump size and type. To minimize these forces and moments, which, if excessive, cause misalignment, hot bearings, vibration and the possible failure of the pump casing, the following points should be strictly followed:
Prevent excessive external pipe load  Never bring piping into place by applying forces to
the pump flange connections
Do not mount expansion joints so that their force,
due to internal pressure, acts on the pump flange
The table on the general arrangement drawing summarizes the maximum allowable forces and moments on the pump casing. The allowable forces and moments are also listed in the addendum (Tab 1). Refer to Flowserve for other configurations. Mount the flanges of the pipes and pump so that they are parallel with a tolerance of 0.1 mm. Make sure that the centrelines of the flanges are in line with each other.
Ensure piping and fittings are flushed before use.
Ensure piping for hazardous liquids is arranged
to allow pump flushing before removal of the pump.
4.6.2 Suction piping
a) The inlet pipe should be one or two sizes larger
than the pump inlet bore and pipe bends should be of a radius as large as possible.
b) Pipework reducers should have a maximum
total angle of divergence of 15 degrees.
c) Keep the total length of the suction pipe as
short as possible.
d) A bend in the suction pipe should be located at
a distance of at least 5 times the pipe bore from the suction flange
e) Install as few bends as possible in the suction
pipe and select the largest possible radius
f) On suction lift the piping should be inclined up
towards the pump inlet with eccentric reducers incorporated to prevent air locks.
g) On positive suction, the inlet piping must have
a constant fall towards the pump.
h) Inlet strainers, when used, should have a net
`free area' of at least three times the inlet pipe area.
i) Do not install elbows at an angle other than
perpendicular to the shaft axis. Elbows parallel to the shaft axis will cause uneven flow.
j) In the case of contaminated liquids, install a
suction strainer or dirt trap with a bore which matches the bore of the pump.
k) Fitting an isolation valve will allow easier
maintenance.
l) Never throttle pump on suction side and never
place a valve directly on the pump inlet nozzle.
4.6.3 Maximum allowable forces and moments on PHL pump flanges
Refer to the General Arrangement drawing (tab 1)
4.6.4 Discharge piping
A non-return valve should be located in the discharge pipework to protect the pump from excessive back pressure and hence reverse rotation when the unit is stopped.
Pipework reducers should have a maximum total angle of divergence of 9 degrees.
Fitting an isolation valve will allow easier maintenance.
4.6.5 Auxiliary piping
4.6.5.1 Drains
Pipe casing drains and gland leakage to a convenient disposal point.
4.6.5.2 Pumps fitted with gland packing
When suction pressure is below atmospheric pressure, it is necessary to feed the gland packing with liquid to provide lubrication and prevent the ingress of air. This is normally achieved with a supply from the pump discharge volute to the stuffing box. A control valve or orifice plate may have been fitted into the supply line to control the pressure to the gland / stuffing box.
Page 15 of 31
PHL USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 00079593 – 10/10
If the pumped liquid is dirty and cannot be used for sealing, a separate clean compatible liquid supply to the gland at 1.5 – 2.0 bar (20 –30 psi) above suction pressure is recommended.
4.6.5.3 Pumps fitted with mechanical seals
Single seals requiring re-circulation will normally be provided with the auxiliary piping from pump casing already fitted.
If the seal requires an auxiliary quench then a connection must be made to a suitable source of liquid flow, low pressure steam or static pressure from a header tank. Recommended pressure is 0.35 bar (5 psi) or less. Check General arrangement drawing.
Special seals may require auxiliary piping different to that described above. Consult separate User Instructions and/or Flowserve if unsure of correct method or arrangement.
For pumping hot liquids, to avoid seal damage, it is recommended that any external flush/cooling supply be continued after stopping the pump.
4.6.6 Final checks
Check the tightness of all bolts in the suction and discharge pipework. Check also the tightness of all foundation bolts.
4.7 Electrical connections
4.7.1 Electrical connections must be
made by a qualified Electrician in accordance with relevant local national and international regulations.
4.7.2 It is important to be aware of the EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE on potentially explosive areas where compliance with IEC60079-14 is an additional requirement for making electrical connections.
4.7.3 It is important to be aware of the EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE on electromagnetic compatibility when wiring up and installing equipment on site. Attention must be paid to ensure that the techniques used during wiring/installation do not increase electromagnetic emissions or decrease the electromagnetic immunity of the equipment, wiring or any connected devices. If in any doubt contact Flowserve for advice.
4.7.5 A device to provide emergency
stopping must be fitted.
4.7.6 If not supplied pre-wired to the pump unit, the
controller/starter electrical details will also be supplied within the controller/starter.
4.7.7 For electrical details on pump sets with
controllers see the separate wiring diagram.
4.7.8 See section 5.3, Direction of
rotation before connecting the motor to the
electrical supply.
4.7.9 This base plate has an earthing boss for
discharging (static) electricity. Connect the earthing boss of the pump unit in accordance with the applicable instructions or commission an approved electrical engineer to carry out the work.
4.8 Protection systems
The following protection systems are recommended particularly if the pump is installed in a potentially explosive area or is handling a hazardous liquid. If in doubt consult Flowserve.
If there is any possibility of the system allowing the pump to run against a closed valve or below minimum continuous safe flow a protection device should be installed to ensure the temperature of the liquid does not rise to an unsafe level.
If there are any circumstances in which the system can allow the pump to run dry, or start up empty, a power monitor should be fitted to stop the pump or prevent it from being started. This is particularly relevant if the pump is handling a flammable liquid.
If leakage of product from the pump or its associated sealing system can cause a hazard it is recommended that an appropriate leakage detection system is installed.
To prevent excessive surface temperatures at bearings it is recommended that temperature or vibration monitoring are carried out.
5 COMMISSIONING, START-UP, OPERATION AND SHUTDOWN
4.7.4 The motor must be wired up in
accordance with the motor manufacturer's instructions (normally supplied within the terminal box) including any temperature, earth leakage, current and other protective devices as appropriate. The identification nameplate should be checked to ensure the power supply is appropriate.

5.1 Pre-commissioning procedure
BEFORE START-UP REMOVE
TEMPORARY RUBBER GASKET ABOVE SEAL DRIVE COLLAR. GASKET CAN BE EASILY REMOVED BY USING A KNIFE OR SCISSOR TO MAKE A RADIAL INCISION.
Before using the pump, flush it with hot water to remove any preservatives or contaminants. Drain off the flushing water from underneath the pump.
5.2 Pump lubricants
See lubrication schedule under
Appendix 1.
5.3 Impeller clearance
No functional adjustments are to be considered.
5.4 Direction of rotation
Ensure the pump is given the same rotation as the pump direction arrow mounted on the pump casing.
To avoid dry running the pump must be filled with liquid.
If maintenance work has been carried out to the site's electricity supply, the direction of rotation should be re-checked as above in case the supply phasing has been altered.
5.5 Guarding
Guarding is supplied fitted to the pump set. If this has been removed or disturbed ensure that all the protective guards around the exposed parts of the shaft are securely fixed.
5.6 Priming and auxiliary supplies
Ensure all electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, sealant and lubrication systems (as applicable) are connected and operational.
Ensure the inlet pipe and pump casing are completely full of liquid before starting continuous duty operation.
De-aerate the pump via the chamber of the mechanical seal or via the flange of a pipe connected to the mechanical seal
5.7 Warming-up instructions for hot pumps
5.7.1 Prefix
For pumps with a duty temperature above 200 oC, bearing cooling is required as to be specified on the pump data sheet. Stuffingbox cooling is required depending on the sealselection and conditions required to the seal. In general, this means that stuffingbox cooling is not required, when a cooling system on the sealharness is sufficient to maintain a constant duty temperature of the seal, which is lower than the design temperature of the seal. However, because not all factors which have their impact on the temperature and duty of the seal are constant factors, such as heat flux pump, heatload seal, ambient temperature, the wear of the seal and friction of the sealfaces etc. or in case that process fluid cooling is required, jackets on the stuffingboxes might be applied.
5.7.2 Warming-up procedure
When a cooling jacket is applied on the stuffingbox, the pump with a duty temperature above 100 oC has to be warmed-up, to avoid difficulties caused by thermal expansion of the relevant pump parts through thermal shock (pumphousing, cover, shaft, jacket, seal and connection parts etc.).
Follow below mentioned instructions punctual: First- Check if cooling medium to the jacket is
connected and with the required flow.
Second- Bring the pump to the working
temperature from 100 oC at a time schedule of 5 oC per minute. Up to 100
o
C no special time schedule is required.
(see also chapter commissioning).
Third- Check at duty of the pump that no major
thermal fluctuations appear with a time schedule larger than described under “second”.
for stopping the pump, the time schedule
as described for warming-up should be held in opposite time-temp. schedule (cooling-down 5 oC per minute).
5.8 Starting the pump
a) Ensure flushing and/or cooling/ heating liquid supplies are turned ON before starting the pump. b) CLOSE the outlet valve. c) OPEN all inlet valves. d) Prime the pump. e) Start motor and check outlet pressure. f) If the pressure is satisfactory, slowly OPEN outlet control valve.

5.9 Running the pump
5.9.1 Pumps fitted with packed gland
If the pump has a packed gland there must be some leakage from the gland. Gland nuts should initially be finger-tight only. Leakage should take place soon after the stuffing box is pressurised.
If the pumps are working in a potentially explosive atmosphere, temperature or vibration monitoring is recommended.
If bearing temperatures are to be monitored, it is essential that a benchmark temperature is recorded at the commissioning stage and after the bearing temperature has been stabilized. Record the bearing temperature (t) and the
ambient temperature (ta)
Estimate the likely maximum ambient
temperature (tb)
Set the alarm at (t+tb-ta+5) C [(t+tb-ta+10) F]
and the trip at 100 C (212 F) for oil lubrication
The gland must be adjusted evenly to give visible leakage and concentric alignment of the gland ring to avoid excess temperature. If no leakage takes place the packing will start overheating. If overheating takes place the pump should be stopped and allowed to cool down before being re-started. When the pump is re­started, check to ensure leakage is taking place at the packed gland.
If hot liquids are being pumped it may be necessary to slacken the gland nuts to achieve leakage.
The pump should be run for 30 minutes with steady leakage and the gland nuts tightened by 10 degrees at a time until leakage is reduced to an acceptable level, normally a minimum of 120 drops per minute is
and 105 C (220 F) for grease lubrication It is important, particularly with grease lubrication, to keep a check on bearing temperatures. After start up the temperature rise should be gradual, reaching a maximum after approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. This temperature rise should then remain constant or marginally reduced with time. (Refer to section 6.1.1 for further information.)
5.9.4 Normal vibration levels, alarm and trip

measurements (N) taken on the pump in the fully commissioned as new condition. Measuring vibration at regular intervals will then show any deterioration in pump or system operating conditions.
Never run gland packing dry, not even
for a short time.
5.9.2 Pumps fitted with mechanical seal
Mechanical seals are not adjustable. Any slight initial leakage will stop when the seal is run in.
Before pumping dirty liquids, it is advisable, if possible, to run in the pump mechanical seal using clean liquid to safeguard the seal faces.

5.10 Stopping and shutdown
a) Close the outlet valve, but ensure
that the pump runs in this condition not longer
than a few seconds. b) Stop the pump. c) Switch off flushing and/or cooling/heating liquid
supplies at a time appropriate to the process. d) For longer prolonged shut-downs
and especially when ambient temperatures are
likely to drop below freezing point, the pump and
any cooling and flushing arrangements must be
drained or otherwise protected.
5.11 Hydraulic, mechanical and electrical duty
This product has been supplied to meet the performance specifications of your purchase order, however it is understood that during the life of the product these may change. The following notes may help the user to decide how to evaluate the implications of any change. If in doubt, contact your nearest Flowserve office.
5.11.1 Specific gravity (SG)
Pump capacity and total head in metres (feet) do not change with SG, however pressure displayed on a pressure gauge is directly proportional to SG. Power absorbed is also directly proportional to SG. It is therefore important to check that any change in SG will not overload the pump driver or over-pressurize the pump.
5.11.2 Viscosity For a given flow rate the total head reduces with increased viscosity and increases with reduced viscosity. Also for a given flow rate the power absorbed increases with increased viscosity, and reduces with reduced viscosity. It is important that checks are made with your nearest Flowserve office if changes in viscosity are planned.
5.11.3 Pump speed
Changing pump speed effects flow, total head, power absorbed, NPSHR, noise and vibration. The flow is directly proportion of the pump speed, head varies as speed ratio squared and power varies as speed ratio cubed. The new duty, however, will also be dependent on the system curve. If increasing the speed, it is important therefore to ensure the maximum pump working pressure is not exceeded, the driver is not overloaded, NPSHA > NPSHR, and that noise and vibration are within local requirements and regulations.
5.11.4 Net positive suction head (NPSHA)
NPSH available (NPSHA) is a measure of the head available in the pumped liquid, above vapour pressure, at the pump suction branch.
NPSH required (NPSHR) is a measure of the head required in the pumped liquid, above its vapour
pressure, to prevent the pump from cavitating. It is important that NPSHA > NPSHR. The margin between NPSHA > NPSHR should be as large as possible.
If any change in NPSHA is proposed, ensure these margins are not significantly eroded. Refer to the pump performance curve to determine exact requirements, particularly if flow has changed. If in doubt, please consult your nearest Flowserve office for advice and details of the minimum allowable margin for your application.
5.11.5 Pumped flow
Flow must not fall outside the minimum and maximum continuous safe flow shown on the pump performance curve and or data sheet.

6 MAINTENANCE
6.0 General
It is the plant operator's responsibility to ensure that all maintenance, inspection and assembly work is carried out by authorized and qualified personnel who have adequately familiarized themselves with the subject matter by studying this manual in detail. (See also section 1.6.2.)
Any work on the machine must be performed when it is at a standstill. It is imperative that the procedure for shutting down the machine is followed, as described in section 5.8.
On completion of work all guards and safety devices must be re-installed and made operative again.
Before restarting the machine, the relevant instructions listed in section 5, Commissioning, start up, operation and shut down must be observed.
Oil and grease leakage can make the floor slippery. Machine maintenance must always begin and finish by cleaning the floor and the exterior of the machine.
If platforms, stairs and guard rails are required for maintenance, they must be placed for easy access to areas where maintenance and inspection are to be carried out. The positioning of these accessories must not limit access or hinder the lifting of the part to be serviced.
When air or compressed inert gas is used in the maintenance process, the operator and anyone in the vicinity must be careful and wear the appropriate protection.
Do not spray air or compressed inert gas on skin. Do not direct an air or gas jet towards other people. Never use air or compressed inert gas to clean
clothes. Before working on the pump, take measures to
prevent an uncontrolled start. Put a warning board on the starting device with the words: "Machine under repair: do not start".
With electric drive equipment, lock the main switch and withdraw any fuses. Put a warning board on the fuse box or main switch with the words: "Machine under repair: do not connect".
Never clean equipment with inflammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride. Protect yourself against toxic fumes when using cleaning agents.
6.1 Maintenance schedule
It is recommended that a maintenance plan and schedule is adopted, in line with these User Instructions. It should include the following: a) Any auxiliary systems installed must be
monitored, if necessary, to ensure they function correctly.
b) Gland packings (if applied instead of a
mechanical seal) 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 leakage from gaskets and seals.
The correct functioning of the shaft seal must be checked regularly.
d) Check pump bearing lubricant and relevant
provisions (such as constant level oiler).
e) Check motorbearing lubricant at intervals as
described in the motor instructions.
f) Check that the duty condition is in the safe
operating range for the pump.
g) Check vibration, noise level and surface
temperature at the bearings to confirm satisfactory operation.
h) Check dirt and dust is removed from areas
around close clearances and motors.
Our specialised service personnel can help with preventative maintenance records and provide condition monitoring for temperature and vibration to identify the onset of potential problems.
If any problems are found the following sequence of actions should take place: a) Refer to section 7, Faults; causes and
remedies, for fault diagnosis.
b) Ensure equipment complies with the
recommendations in this manual.
c) Contact Flowserve if the problem persists.
6.1.1 Routine inspection (daily/weekly)
The following checks should be made and the appropriate action taken to remedy any deviations: a) Check operating behaviour. Ensure noise,
vibration and bearing temperatures are normal.
b) Check that there are no abnormal fluid or
lubricant leaks (static and dynamic seals) and that any sealant systems (if fitted) are full and operating normally.
c) Check that shaft seal leakage is within
acceptable limits. d) Check pumpbearing lubricant level. e) For motors with regreasable bearings, check
number of running hours since last recharge of
grease or since complete grease change. f) Check any auxiliary supplies e.g.
heating/cooling, if fitted, are functioning
correctly.
Page 20 of 31
PHL USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 00079593 – 10/10
Refer to the manuals of any associated
equipment for routine checks needed.
6.1.2 Periodic inspection (every 6 months)
a) Check foundation bolts for security
of attachment and corrosion.
b) Check pump running records for hourly usage to
determine if motor bearing lubricant requires changing.
Refer to the manuals of any associated
equipment for periodic checks needed.
6.1.3 Mechanical seals
No adjustment is possible. When leakage reaches an unacceptable level the seal will need replacement.
6.1.4 Gland packing
The stuffing box split gland can be completely removed for re-packing or to enable the addition of extra rings of packing.
The stuffing box is normally supplied with a lantern ring to enable a clean or pressurised flush to the centre of the packing. If not required, this can be replaced by an extra 2 rings of packing.
There must always be a small leakage; normally a minimum of 120 drops per minute to lubricate and cool the packing is required.
6.2 Spare parts
6.2.1 Ordering of spares
Flowserve keep records of all pumps that have been supplied. When ordering spares the following information should be quoted:
1) Pump serial number.
