Safety

1.6

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Personnel qualification and training

1.6.2 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 safety requirements and applicable safety and health laws and regulations.

Safety action

1.6.3

This is a summary of conditions and actions to prevent injury to personnel and damage to the environment and to equipment. For products

APPLYING HEAT TO REMOVE IMPELLER There may be occasions when the impeller has either been shrunk fit on to the pump shaft or has become difficult to remove due to products of corrosion.

If you elect to use heat to remove the impeller, it must

be applied quickly to the impeller boss. TAKE GREAT CARE!

Before applying heat ensure any residual hazardous liquid trapped between the impeller and pump shaft is thoroughly drained out through the impeller keyway to prevent an explosion or emission of toxic vapour. This must be carried out with the shaft in the vertical position. On some pump sizes a cavity exists in the impeller bore so on occasions a significant volume of liquid may drain out.

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.

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

Page 5 of 76 flowserve.com

VERTICAL TURBINE PUMPS (VTPS) CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS ENGLISH 71569224 – 10-13

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 greater than 80 ºC (175 ºF) or below -5 ºC (23 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.

ENSURE CORRECT LUBRICATION

(See section 5, Commissioning, startup, 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 pump and mechanical seal.

the motor and cause cavitations. Low flow rates may cause a reduction in pump/bearing life, overheating of the pump, instability and cavitation/vibration.

Products used in potentially explosive

1.6.4

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 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 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.

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

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 ºC (104 ºF); 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 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 operator is responsible to ensure that the specified maximum liquid temperature is not exceeded

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 unfilled. Even a short run time may give a high temperature resulting from 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, 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, make regular checks and remove dirt from areas around close clearances, bearing housings and motors.

1.6.4.4

Preventing the buildup of explosive

mixture

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, fit an appropriate dry run protection device (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.

Page 7 of 76 flowserve.com

VERTICAL TURBINE PUMPS (VTPS) CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS ENGLISH 71569224 – 10-13

Preventing sparks

1.6.4.5

To prevent a potential hazard from mechanical

contact, the coupling guard must be non-sparking.

To avoid the potential hazard from random induced current generating a spark, the base plate must be properly grounded.

Avoid electrostatic charge: do not rub non-metallic

surfaces with a dry cloth; ensure cloth is damp.

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

Additional requirement for metallic pumps on non-metallic base plates

When metallic components are fitted on a nonmetallic base plate they must be individually earthed.

1.6.4.6

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, install a liquid detection device.

1.6.4.7

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.)

Noise Level

1.9

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.

Page 8 of 76 flowserve.com

VERTICAL TURBINE PUMPS (VTPS) CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS ENGLISH 71569224 – 10-13

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 L

at 1 m

(3.3 ft) from the machine, for “free field conditions over a reflecting plane”.

For estimating sound power level L

(re 1pW) then

add 17 dBA to the sound pressure value.

The noise levels shown in table 1.9.1 are extracted from typical motor manufacturer’s data/catalogue to provide the average expected motor noise values at no load for reference only and are not guaranteed. The values could vary depending upon the test and surrounding conditions. The combined noise level of the pump and the motor could exceed the values shown. It is to be noted that adding motors with similar noise levels increases the total noise level. Therefore, the dB correction to the values listed above is required to obtain the combined noise levels of motor and the pump. Actual on-site noise measurement by experts is recommended and safety measures are to be taken accordingly.

Drivers

3.3.1 A variety of drivers may be used, however, electric motors are most common. For the purposes of this manual, all types of drivers can be grouped into two categories.

a) Hollow shaft drivers: where the head shaft extends through a tube in the center of the rotor and is connected to the driver by a clutch assembly at the top of the driver.

b) Solid shaft drivers: where the rotor shaft is solid and projects below the driver-mounting base. This type driver requires an adjustable coupling for connecting to the pump.

Discharge Head Assembly

3.3.2 (See also section 3.2.2.1) The discharge head supports the driver and bowl assembly as well as supplying a discharge connection in most cases.

Page 17 of 76 flowserve.com

VERTICAL TURBINE PUMPS (VTPS) CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS ENGLISH 71569224 – 10-13

A shaft sealing arrangement is located in the discharge head to seal the shaft at its exit from the liquid chamber.

The shaft seal will usually be either a mechanical seal assembly or stuffing box with an open lineshaft or a tube-packing box with an enclosed lineshaft.

Column assembly

3.3.3 The column assembly consists of column pipe, which connects the bowl assembly to the discharge head and carries the pumped fluid to the discharge head. Houses and supports the shaft and may contain bearings. Typical column assemblies are:

a) flanged column assembly

See sectional drawings supplied with the pump for exact column assembly details as per the order. The size and configuration vary depending upon the specific order requirements and application criteria.

3.3.4

Bowl assemblies The bowl assembly consists of impellers rigidly mounted on the pump shaft coupled to an electric motor. Impellers are cast wheels with multiple diffuser vanes and are generally coated to meet the hydraulic requirements. See section 8.0 for cross sectional and part details.

Suction strainers

3.3.5 VTPs can also be fitted with strainers [316] to prevent foreign particles from entering the pump. The type of strainers and the mesh size depends on the application. Examples are shown below. Strainers are fastened [422] directly to the suction bell [55] or attached using clips [421]. Cone shaped strainers are provided with internal or external threads to attach it to the main assembly.

a) Slip-on strainer

b) threaded column assembly: from 100 mm~355 mm (4~14 in.) sizes only.

provision of correct foundation and installation may lead to failure of the pump and, as such, would be outside the terms of the warranty.

The foundation must consist of material that will afford rigid support to the discharge head and will absorb expected stresses that may be encountered in service.

Concrete foundations should have anchor bolts installed in sleeves that allow alignment and have holes in the mounting plate as illustrated in the detail below. Sleeve should be filled with non-bonding moldable material after sleeve is set in place.

When a suction barrel is supplied as in the case of the type "TF" discharge head, the suction vessel must provide permanent, rigid support for the pump and motor.

All foundation / anchor bolt recommendations should be verified by prevailing industry standards.

Some wet pit pumps are installed directly by using the flange that comes as an integral part of the discharge head. The pump is lowered into the pit and aligned with the anchor bolts [372].

The mounting flange is shimmed to achieve required level by using a precision machinist’s level. The

pump is to be leveled to within 0.16 mm/m (0.002 in./ft). The data to be recorded for future

reference. Anchor bolt nuts [373] are tightened sufficient enough to hold down the pump in place.

Grout is poured and allowed to set for at least 72~80 hours (cure as required) before any further work is done on the pump.

If leveling nuts are used to level the base, they must be backed off as far as possible prior to grouting.

Always shim near foundation bolts and then back off the leveling nuts. Now tighten the foundation bolts. If done otherwise there is a risk of significantly lowering the structural natural frequency that could result in separation of the base from the grout.

Directly mounted pumps are not user

friendly for service. Re-installation of these pumps

requires re-leveling and re-grouting.

Leveling of pumps mounted on a

4.3.2

soleplate and the soleplate is grouted

Some pumps are mounted on a separate plate known as soleplate [23]. In such cases, the level shall be set with a master level or a precision machinist’s level. The mounting surface needs to be leveled to within 0.16 mm/m (0.002 in./ft).

The level should not exceed 0.125 mm (0.005 in.) elevation difference taken on any two points on the individual soleplate. Accurate shimming and grouting of the soleplate is very important. Record the leveling data for future reference. Grout the soleplate and allow to set at least 72~80 hours (cure as required) before the pump is lowered into the pit. Align the discharge head boltholes with the anchor bolts [372].

Check and adjust the pump level to within

0.16 mm/m (0.002 in./ft) with respect to the soleplate

and torque the nuts [373] to the required level.

Where applicable, grout in the foundation bolts. After adding pipe work connections and re-checking the coupling alignment, the mounting plate/soleplate should then be grouted in accordance with good engineering practice. If in any doubt, please contact Flowserve service center for advice.

Grouting provides solid contact between the pump unit and foundation that prevents lateral movement of running equipment and dampens resonant vibrations. Care should be taken to ensure maximum surface contact with grout between the pump base, sole plate, suction can and foundation (no voids).

Foundation bolts should only be fully tightened after the grout has been cured.

Installation of solid shaft driver without

jacking screws

When lowering the motor and driver half of coupling onto pump, do not let pump half of the coupling touch the driver half of the coupling.

Before bumping motor make sure coupling halves are not touching and that the driver can rotate freely, without rotating the pump

Driver half coupling must be in proper position so the circular key will not come out.

a) Clean driver mounting flange on discharge head

and check for burrs or nicks on the register and mounting face. Oil lightly.

b) Center motor over pump and rotate to align

mounting holes. Electric motors: Rotate junction box into desired position. Gear Drives: Rotate input shaft into desired position.

c) Lower driver carefully into place making certain

that the female register on the driver mates over the male register on the pump.

d) Bolt driver to discharge head.

e) Check driver manufacturer's instructions for

special instructions including lubrication instructions and follow all "startup" instructions.

f) Electric drivers should be checked for rotation at

this time. Make electrical connections "bump" motor (momentarily start, then stop) to check rotation. DRIVER MUST ROTATE COUNTERCLOCKWISE when looking down at top end of motor. To change the direction of rotation on a three-phase motor, interchange any two line leads. To change direction of rotation on a two-phase motor, interchange the leads of either phase.

g) See impeller adjustment instructions (section 5.3)

before bolting the pump and driver half of the coupling together.

4.5.4.3

Installation of solid shaft driver with

jacking screws

a) Clean driver mounting flange on discharge head

and check for burrs or nicks on the register and mounting face. Oil lightly.

b) Center motor over pump and rotate to align

mounting holes. Electric motors: Rotate junction box into desired position. Gear Drives: Rotate input shaft into desired position.

c) Lower driver carefully into place. Mount the dial

indicator base on the O.D. of the motor half coupling. Set the indicator on the pump shaft, position the dial to zero being careful that the indicator is in direct line with one of the jackscrews. Record this reading then rotate the motor shaft and indicator 180 degrees. Record this reading being careful to note plus or minus values. Take the difference of the two readings and using the jackscrews move the motor onehalf of the difference. Repeat this step until the T.I.R. reading is a maximum of 0.051mm (0.002in.). Then repeat this step for the set of jack screws located 90 degrees to the first set. Once all readings are within 0.051mm (0.002in.), tighten motor bolts and check for any movement in readings.

d) Check driver manufacturer's instructions for

special instructions including lubrication instructions and follow all "startup" instructions.

e) Electric drivers should be checked for rotation at

this time. Make electrical connections and "bump" motor (momentarily start, then stop) to check rotation. DRIVER MUST ROTATE COUNTER-CLOCKWISE when looking down at top end of motor. To change the direction of rotation on a three-phase motor, interchange any

two line leads. To change direction of rotation on a two-phase motor, interchange the leads of either phase.

f) See impeller adjustment instructions (section 5.3

before bolting the pump and driver half of the coupling together.

Initial Alignment

4.6

4.6.1

Thermal expansion

The pump and motor will normally have to be aligned at ambient temperature and should be corrected to allow for thermal expansion at operating temperature. In pump installations involving high liquid temperatures greater than 300°F, the unit should be run at the actual operating temperature, shut down and the alignment checked immediately.

Preparation before alignment

4.6.2 To ensure proper alignment the following items are very important.

a) All machined mating surfaces (such as the

mating flanges of pump and motor) must be clean and free of burrs and nicks.

b) Exterior strain must not be transmitted to the

pump. The most common cause of trouble is forcing the piping to mate with the pump. It is recommended that flexible connectors be installed in the piping adjacent to the pump.

c) All threads should be checked for damage and

repaired if necessary. Lubricate all threaded connections with a suitable thread lubricant (an anti-galling compound).

Alignment methods

4.6.3

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.

Adding or removing shims between the motor and the discharge head helps alignment in the vertical direction. The motor assembly may also have to be adjusted in the horizontal direction to line up the driver and shaft centers. Alignment screws

are provided to lock the motor assembly in its final aligned position.

See section 5.3.2.1 for final coupling alignment for solid shaft.

Before bumping motor make sure that the coupling halves are not touching and that the driver can rotate freely without rotating the pump. Driver half coupling must be in proper position so the circular key will not come out.

Angular and parallel misalignment

4.6.4

Check the direction of pump rotation before the coupling is fully connected. The power supply to the driver to be connected only after the final alignment is complete.

Angular of fset

Axial offset

Parallel offset

a) Angular Offset: The median lines of shaft

intersect halfway between the ends of the two shafts.

b) Axial Offset: Another offset is the displacement

of one or both of the shafts. A typical example is thermal expansion.

c) Parallel Offset: The median lines run parallel.

The maximum allowable parallel offset depends on the size of coupling and is indicated in the instruction manual of manufacturer of coupling.

For couplings with narrow flanges use a dial indicator as shown in the detail to check both parallel and angular alignment.

VERTICAL TURBINE PUMPS (VTPS) CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS ENGLISH 71569224 – 10-13

Par al l el

ngular

a) 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.

b) When the electric motor has sleeve bearings, it is

necessary to ensure that the motor is aligned to run on its magnetic centerline.

Refer to the motor User Instructions for details.

If the motor does not run in its magnetic center the resultant additional axial force may overload the pump thrust bearing.

If the pump is handling hot liquid, the alignment must be rechecked in warm condition of the unit. The alignment of the unit shall be checked again after 200 service hours.

Pipe work velocities

4.7.1 In order to minimize friction losses and hydraulic noise in the pipe work it is good practice to choose pipe work that is one or two sizes larger than the pump suction and discharge.

Typically, main pipe velocities should not exceed 2 m/s (6 ft/sec) on the suction and 3 m/s (9 ft/sec) on discharge.

Take into account the available NPSH that must be higher than the required NPSH of the pump.

Never use the pump as a support for

piping.

Maximum forces and moments allowed on

4.7.2

VTP pump flanges (See table 4.6.2.1)

Maximum forces and moments allowed on the pump flanges vary with the pump size and type. To minimize these forces and moments that may, if excessive, cause misalignment, hot bearings, worn couplings, vibration and possible failure of the pump casing. The following points should be strictly followed.

a) Prevent excessive external pipe load. b) Never draw piping into place by applying force to

pump flange connections.

c) Do not mount expansion joints so that their force,

due to internal pressure, acts on the pump flange.

Piping

4.7

Protective covers are fitted to the pipe

connections to prevent foreign particles or objects entering the pump during transportation and installation. Ensure that these covers are removed from the pump before connecting pipes.

Page 31 of 76 flowserve.com

before use.

Ensure that the piping arrangement has been provided to flush the pump before removal in cases of hazardous liquid pumps.

Ensure piping and fittings are flushed

Auxiliary piping

4.7.3

4.7.3.1

Normal pump leaks and gland leakage to be drained through a separate piping arrangement or back into the suction/sump.

4.7.3.2

The pumped liquid is allowed to flow through the gland packing at discharge pressure and drained out of the pump or re-circulated back into the suction. A separate flush supply may be required in some cases. The piping plans and flush supply are to be selected based on the application and operating parameters.

In some special cases where the discharge pressure exceeds 6.5 bar (100 psi) a special flushing plan is recommended.

4.7.3.3

Auxiliary piping to circulate the flushing liquid back into the suction is required. In case of external clean source requirements for pump applications such as high temperature service, contaminated fluids, oxidizing fluids, a special piping plan to carry the clean liquid into the seal chamber with adequate pressure is required and several piping plans are available to suit the specific pump application.

any connected devices. If in any doubt contact Flowserve for advice.

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.

A device to provide emergency stopping must be fitted. If not supplied pre-wired to the pump unit, the controller/starter electrical details will also be supplied within the controller/starter.

For electrical details on pump sets with controllers see the separate wiring diagram.

See section 5.4, Direction of rotation

before connecting the motor to the electrical supply.

Final Shaft Alignment Check

4.9

After connecting piping to the pump, rotate the shaft several times by hand to ensure there is no binding and all parts are free. Recheck the coupling alignment, as previously described, to ensure no pipe strain. If pipe strain exists, correct piping.

Protection Systems

4.10

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 the bearings, it is recommended that temperature and/or vibration monitoring is done on a regular basis.

5 COMMISSIONING, STARTUP,

OPERATION AND SHUTDOWN

These operations must be carried out by fully qualified personnel. Turn off power supply for safety while pump commissioning is in progress.

Pre-commissioning Procedure

5.1

The gland is to be filled with grease and flush supply to be in place. Flush piping to be checked for leaks. Mechanical seals to be checked for leaks, flush flow and pressure.

a) Pumps with the enclosing tubes and oil-lubed

bearings must be filled with the proper lubricant to avoid running dry and to guarantee acceptable performance of the pump. A separate oil tank is attached to the pump (see detail in section 5.2.2).

b) For can pumps check all vent connections for

complete filling of the pump. The venting procedure can take from 10 minutes up to 2 hours, depending on the kind of fluid .

c) Check the direction of rotation of the pump

(Coupling spacer dismantled). Should be counter clockwise when viewed from the driver end.

d) The pump rotor and the shaft seal must be in

correct axial position.

e) Check the readiness of all auxiliary systems (seal

sys., lubrication system etc.,) for startup.

f) All pipe work, including the internal and the

auxiliary pipe work, must be connected correctly and must be absolutely tight. Check the tightness of all connections of the auxiliary pipe work. The suction valve must be open, the discharge valve shall be closed or partially open as required.

g) Turn the pump by hand, if required with the help of

a lever, to check the free rotation of the rotor. The rotor must turn uniformly and noiselessly. Some resistance may be felt due to the friction in the bearings and seals.

h) Check the readiness of the driver for startup. Refer

to the manual for the driver to be sure that all precautions are in place to energize the motor.

Pump Lubricants

5.2

Other than the stuffing box lubrication, mechanical seal and/or lineshaft lubrication, the pump will not require further periodic lubrication. On water pumps, the suction bearing on the bowl assembly should be repacked when required. Pumps that pump hydrocarbons or have carbon, rubber, epoxy or Teflon suction bearings do not have the suction bearings packed. If the pump will be started after a longer storage period, the bearings should be first flushed and cleaned by using a suitable cleaning agent. It is not necessary to remove the oil sprayed for short or long-term storage as this will mix up thoroughly with the lubrication oil.

Re-checking the motor lubrication should be in accordance with the motor manufacturer’s user instructions supplied separately with the pump.

Open lineshaft lubrication

5.2.1 Open lineshaft bearings are lubricated by the pumped fluid where the static water level is less than 9 m (30 ft) below the discharge head and will usually not require pre or post-lubrication. Care is to be taken to ensure that the gland or seal is supplied with the required flush flow.

All open lineshaft pumps where the static water level is more than 9 m (30 ft) below the discharge head should be adequately pre-lubricated before starting the pump.

5.2.1.1 Allow flush water to flow down the shaft for 45 minutes for pumps over 9 m (30 ft) and increase the pre-lube duration by at least 15 minutes for every 5 m (15 ft) additional shaft length beyond 20 m (65 ft). The fittings for pre-lube are provided at the discharge head.

5.2.1.2

In general all W type cast discharge heads are provided with a standard size pipe fitting for pre-lube connection. Fabricated discharge heads are fitted with a special piping arrangement to allow pre-lube liquid flow onto the shaft.

Pre-lubrication duration

Enclosed shaft lubrication

5.2.2 VTPs with the enclosed shafting are lubricated by a dedicated oil supply system or injection lubricated by extraneous liquid; usually clean water to meet the application requirements.

5.2.2.1

Oil lubricated pumps

The lubricating oil must be available and should be allowed to run into the enclosing tube in sufficient quantity to thoroughly lubricate all lineshaft bearings. The gravity flow system is the most commonly utilized system for oil.

The oil reservoir (example shown in detail below) must be kept filled with a good quality light turbine oil (about 30 cSt) at the operating temperature and adjusted to feed a minimum of 3 drops per minute per 30 m (100 ft) of column length, at never less than 5 drops per minute total.

5.2.2.2

Pre-lubrication of oil lubricated pumps

As a general rule, the oil must be allowed to flow by gravity at least 45 minutes before the pump is started for the first time or in case the pump was turned off for a longer duration. Adequate care should be taken to make sure that the flow is available and is consistent for subsequent startups.

5.2.2.3

Injection lubricated pumps

Enclosed lineshaft bearings are lubricated by extraneous liquid (usually clean water), which is fed to the tension nut either by gravity flow, or by a pressure injection system.

The injected lubricant flow is never stopped for short ‘off ’ periods. Adequate care should be taken to make sure that the flow is available and consistent for subsequent startups and operation. Injection pressure to be adjusted as recommended before the startup.

Enclosed shaft lubricants

5.2.3 The following oils are recommended for enclosed lineshaft bearing lubrication under normal operating conditions. See tables 5.2.3.1 and 5.2.3.2.

It is recommended that detergent type

oils not be used.

5.2.3.1

Non-food/food grade lubricant oils

Equivalent turbine oil (food or non-food grades as required) with the matching properties has to be selected. Oils with a viscosity range of 30 cSt

(mm

/sec) to 37 cSt (mm2/sec) at 40 C (100 F) with a

minimum viscosity index of 90 are recommended.

The pour point of the oil must be in accordance with the lowest expected temperature of the bearing housing during a stop of the pump.

Oil level

5.2.4 The correct oil level is in the middle of the oil sight glass and shall be checked when the pump is not in operation. Periodically check if the lubricating oil is mixed with any condensed water. Careful opening of the oil drain during a stop of the pump will show any water.

After the initial start the level will decrease

due to circulation of the oil through the bearings.

If the oil level is higher than specified, it could result in higher bearing temperatures resulting in poor lubrication.

Impeller Adjustment

Injection systems are designed for each installation. Injection pressure and quantity of liquid will vary. Normally 0.45-0.90 m

/h (2-4 gpm) at 0.7-

1.4 bar (10-20 psi) over maximum pump discharge pressure of clean liquid is required.

5.2.2.4

Pre-lubrication of injection lubricated

pumps

As a general rule, the liquid flow is to be started at least 15~20 minutes before the pump is started for the first time or in the event of pump not being in use for longer duration.

5.3

Proper impeller adjustment positions the impeller inside the bowl assembly for maximum performance. The impellers must be raised slightly to prevent them from dragging on the bowls, but not raised too high so as to adversely affect hydraulic performance.

The impeller must be down against the bowl seat when starting impeller adjustment. When pumps are subjected to suction pressure, the pressure acting against the shaft tends to raise it. Make sure the shaft is down when starting to adjust the impellers.

Page 38 of 76 flowserve.com

VERTICAL TURBINE PUMPS (VTPS) CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS ENGLISH 71569224 – 10-13

If, after making the impeller adjustment the pump does not deliver its rated capacity, the impellers can be lowered one step at a time until the lowest possible adjustment is achieved without the impellers dragging. On the other hand, if the impellers appear to be dragging after the initial adjustment, the unit should be stopped and the impellers raised one step. Dragging impellers will increase the load significantly and can usually be heard and felt as increased vibration. A sharp rise in motor amperage will occur when impellers are dragging.

Impeller adjustment for a hollow shaft

5.3.1

driver

Impeller adjustment when using hollow shaft drivers is as follows. The driver canopy will have to be removed before beginning. a) Install headshaft [10] if not already in place. b) Install driver clutch in accordance with the driver

instruction manual and bolt into place.

c) Check shaft position. Lower shaft until there is a

definite feel of metal contacting metal. This indicates the impellers are "on bottom" and in the correct starting position for impeller adjustment.

d) Thread headshaft nut [66] down (right hand

threads) except 43 mm (1.7 in.) and larger sizes that are having left hand threads, until impellers are just raised off their seat and the shaft will rotate freely.

e) Check a separate document that is supplied with

the pump that provides recommended impeller setting and running clearance information..

 Mount two magnetic indicator bases on the

discharge head at 90 degrees to each other

 Set the indicator tips on the shaft just above

the seal and at 90 degrees to each other. (Usually parallel and perpendicular to the discharge nozzle) push the shaft (parallel to discharge) back and forth (without bending shaft)

 Note and record the minimum and maximum

indicator readings. Do the same procedure at 90 degrees to the discharge

 Alternate method for pump with packing:

Using an inside micrometer, measure the space between the shaft and the packing box bore. Do this both parallel and perpendicular to the discharge nozzle

Using the wedges center the shaft so the measurements taken at 180 degrees to each other are within 0.10 mm (0.004 in.) of being equal

(For pumps using jackscrews for motor go to step f).

e) Mount the magnetic base on the drive half

coupling (a band clamp may be necessary to hold base due to limited space). Position the tip of the indicator on the pump shaft just above the seal. Slowly rotate the driver shaft.

Note and record the T.I.R. reading. If this reading is more than 0.25 mm (0.010 in.) for WA and WSA couplings or 0.15 mm (0.006 in.) for PA and PSA couplings, unbolt the drive and reposition the driver in the direction required to reduce the T.I.R. to within the allowable limits.

If a register fit is used for alignment, driver will be able to be moved only a few thousandths of an inch. If enough movement is not obtainable then the male register can be filed to obtain acceptable T.I.R. readings (Go to step g).

f) On pumps using jackscrews for motor alignment,

mount the dial indicator base on the O.D. of the motor half coupling. Set the indicator on the shaft, position the dial to zero being careful that the indicator is in direct line with one of the jackscrews. Record this reading then rotate the motor shaft and indicator 180 degrees.

Record this reading being careful to note plus or minus values. Take the difference of the two readings and using the jackscrews move the motor one half of the difference. Repeat this step until the T.I.R. reading is a maximum of 0.05 mm (0.002 in.).

Page 40 of 76 flowserve.com

VERTICAL TURBINE PUMPS (VTPS) CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS ENGLISH 71569224 – 10-13

Then repeat this step for the set of jackscrews located 90 degrees to the first set. Once all readings are within 0.05 mm (0.002 in.) tighten motor bolts and check for any movement in readings.

g) Set the impeller setting gap between the

adjusting nut and the driver portion of the coupling. See impeller setting data supplied along with the pump. If this information is not found, contact Flowserve. Align the match marks on the pump half coupling with the driver half coupling. On pumps with enclosed impellers the match marks can be lined up by increasing the impeller gap until the marks are in line with the driver half coupling marks.

On pumps with semi-open impellers, the match marks probably will not be in line when the gap is set. DO NOT try to align the marking on the nut with the other markings.

For pumps with enclosed impellers go to step (h).

h) Using 2 bolts of the coupling, at 180 degrees to

each other, slowly raise pump half coupling until impellers are just lifted off the seat (This can be gauged by trying to turn shaft by hand. At the point the impellers are lifted the pump will turn). Be sure to lift both sides evenly.

i) Measure the resultant gap between the motor half

coupling and the adjusting nut.

j) Find the difference between the original gap and

the new gap. Add this difference to the original gap and reset the adjusting nut.

k) Bolt the coupling together and tighten bolts by

tightening opposite sides.

l) Remove wooden wedges, if used. Mount

magnetic base on pump and set the tip of indicator on the shaft just above the seal. Slowly rotate the shaft and note the T.I.R. reading.

Unless otherwise specified, the allowable T.I.R. readings are:

 WA and WSA couplings 0.10 mm (0.004 in.)  PA and PSA couplings 0.05 mm (0.002 in.)

If the reading is larger than the allowable values specified above, unbolt the pump and rotate the driver portion of the coupling to different hole and repeat steps (h) and (i) until acceptable readings are obtained.

m) If a mechanical seal is used, adjust the

mechanical seal at this time.

Direction of Rotation

5.4

Ensure the pump is given the same rotation as specified or as marked on the pump/driver. Please contact Flowserve representative, if you have any questions before the startup.

To avoid dry running the pump must either be filled with liquid or have the flexible coupling disconnected before the driver is switched on.

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.

Guarding

5.5

Guarding is supplied fitted to the pump set. Fasteners for guards must remain captive in the guard to comply with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. When releasing guards, the fasteners must be unscrewed in an appropriate way to ensure that the fasteners remain captive. Whenever guarding is removed or disturbed ensure that all the protective guards are securely refitted prior to start-up

Priming and Auxiliary Supplies

5.6

Ensure 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.

Location of the first stage impeller eye to be taken into account for minimum priming submergence. It is also equally important to take note of the minimum distance to be maintained to the suction bell from the sump floor (with or without strainer). Therefore, refer to the Flowserve supplied general assembly drawing on minimum submergence or contact Flowserve before the pump is started.

Starting the Pump

5.7

Pre-starting checks

5.7.1

Before starting the pump the following checks should be made. a) Rotate the pump shaft by hand to make sure the

pump rotates freely and the impellers are correctly positioned.

b) Ensure that the electric motor has been properly

lubricated in accordance with the instructions furnished with the driver.

c) Ensure the electric motor has been checked for

proper rotation. The pump must be disconnected from the driver at the coupling before checking.

The electric motor must rotate counter-clockwise when looking down on the top of the driver.

d) Check all connections to the driver and control.

Do not overfill the grease cavity. Over greasing can lead to overheating and premature failure of

the thrust bearing. e) Check that all piping connections are tight. f) Check all foundation bolts for tightness. g) Check all bolting connections for tightness

(coupling bolts, mechanical seal gland bolts,

driver bolts etc). h) Make sure the mechanical seal is properly

adjusted and locked into place. Ensure that all

seal spacers are in the running position prior to

operation. i) All guards must be secured in position prior to

pump startup to prevent possible contact with

rotating parts.

To ensure proper alignment three items are very

important during installation and they are:  All machined mating surfaces (such as the

mating faces of the pump and motor) must be

clean and free from burrs and nicks.

These surfaces should be cleaned thoroughly

with a scraper, wire brush and emery cloth if

necessary and all nicks or burrs removed with a

fine file  Exterior strain must not be transmitted to the

pump. The most common cause of trouble in this

respect is forcing the piping to mate with the

pump. It is recommended that flexible

connectors be installed in the piping adjacent to

the pump.  All threads should be checked for damage and

repaired if necessary. If filing is necessary,

remove the part from the pump if possible, or

arrange to catch all the filings so they do not fall

onto other parts of the pump. Clean all threads

with a wire brush and approved cleaning solvent,

ends of shafts must be cleaned and any burrs

removed since alignment depends on the shaft

ends butting squarely. Lubricate all threaded

connections with a suitable approved thread

lubricant (an approved anti-galling compound

should be used on stainless mating threads) j) On pumps equipped with mechanical seals, clean

fluid should be put into the seal chamber. With

pumps under suction pressure, this can be

accomplished by bleeding all air and vapor out of

the seal chamber and allowing the fluid to enter.

With pumps not under suction pressure, the seal

chamber should be flushed liberally with clean

fluid to provide initial lubrication. Make sure the

mechanical seal is properly adjusted and locked

into place. Insure that all seal spacers are

5.7.1.1

Typical safety guards

GUARDS

INSTALLED

After initial startup, pre-lubrication of the mechanical seal will usually not be required as enough liquid will remain in the seal chamber for subsequent startup lubrication.

A screen guard is furnished with all pumps having a two-piece headshaft or an adjustable flanged coupling. This screen must be secured in place prior to pump startup to prevent possible contact with rotating parts. Typical arrangement is shown in section 5.7.1.1.

Stuffing box adjustment

5.7.2 On the initial starting it is very important that the packing not be tightened excessively. New packing must be run in properly to prevent damage to the shaft and shortening of the packing life.

The stuffing box must be allowed to leak for proper operation. The proper amount of leakage can be determined by checking the temperature of the leakage, this should be cool or just lukewarm - NOT HOT - usually 40 to 60 drops per minute will be adequate.

When adjusting the packing gland, bring both nuts down evenly and in small steps until the leakage is reduced as required. The nuts should only be

tightened about one half turn at a time at 20 to 30 minute intervals to allow the packing to "run-in". Under proper operation, a packing set will last a long time. Occasionally a new ring of packing will need to be added to keep the box full.

After adding two or three rings of packing, or when proper adjustment cannot be achieved, the stuffing box should be cleaned completely of all old packing and re-packed.

Open shaft lubrication before startup

5.7.3 Open lineshaft bearings are lubricated by the pumped fluid on short-coupled units less than 15 m (50 ft) long and usually do not require pre- or postlubrication. All open lineshaft pumps where the static water level is more than 15 m (50 ft) below the discharge head should be adequately pre-lubricated before startup. These units should have a nonreverse ratchet on the driver to prevent backspin when turning off pump. If there is no NRR, postlubrication is also necessary.

Enclosed shaft lubrication before start up

5.7.4 Enclosed lineshaft bearings are lubricated by an extraneous liquid (usually oil or clean water

The oil reservoir must be kept filled with a good quality of light turbine oil (about 30 cSt (mm

/sec) at operating temperature) and adjusted to feed 3 drops/minute for every 30 m (100 ft) of column.

Injection systems are designed for each installation. Injection pressure and quantity of lubricating liquid will vary. Usually 0.45 to 0.90 m

/h (2 to 4 gpm) at

0.7 to 0.14 bar (10 to 20 psi) over maximum pump discharge pressure of clean liquid is required.

For recommended oils for enclosed lineshaft bearing lubrication under normal operating conditions, please see tables 5.2.3.1 and 5.2.3.2. If none of the above oils are available, oil with the following specifications should be obtained. Turbine type oil with rust and oxidation inhibitors added, viscosity 30 cSt (mm to 37 cSt (mm

/sec) at 40 C (100 F) with a minimum

/sec)

viscosity index of 90.

In the case of product-lubricated

bearings, the source of product supply should be checked against the order. There may be requirements for an external clean supply, particular supply pressure or the commencement of lubrication supply before pump startup.

VERTICAL TURBINE PUMPS (VTPS) CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS ENGLISH 71569224 – 10-13

Initial Starting

5.7.5

Ensure flushing and/or cooling/ heating liquid supplies are turned ON before starting the pump.

a) If the discharge line has a valve in it, partially

open the discharge valve closest to the pump. The discharge valve is intended to add sufficient system resistance to the pump. Failure to maintain pump flow rates within the limits of the

pump and motor could result in severe damage. b) OPEN all inlet valves. c) Prime the pump & check lubrication system in

operation (check the liquid level).

d) Ensure all vent connections are closed

before starting. e) Check the motor connections. f) Start pre-lubrication liquid flow on pump if

required. g) Start the pump and observe the operation. If

there is any difficulty, excess noise or vibration,

stop the pump immediately and refer to the

Trouble Shooting Chart (section 7.0) to

determine the probable cause.

Do not run the pump with the outlet

valve closed for a period longer than 30 seconds.

h) Open vent connections and ensure that the unit

is vented of all trapped vapor before closing the

vents.

Observe extreme caution when venting and or draining hazardous liquids. Wear protective clothing in the presence of caustic, corrosive, volatile, flammable or hot liquids. Do not breathe toxic vapors. Do not allow sparking, flames or hot surfaces in the vicinity of the equipment.

i) Open the discharge valve as desired to operate

the unit at its design conditions.

j) Check complete pump and driver for leaks, loose

connections, or improper operation.

If possible, the pump should be left running for approximately one half hour on the initial startup, this will allow the bearings, packing or seals, and other parts to "run-in" and reduce the possibility of trouble on future starts.

If abrasives or debris are present, upon startup, the pump should be allowed to run until the pumpage is clean. Stopping the pump when handling large amounts of abrasives (as is

sometimes present on initial starting) may lock the pump and cause more damage than the pump is allowed to continue operation.

Every effort should be made to keep abrasives out of lines, sump, etc. so that abrasives will not enter the pump.

In the case of product lubricated

bearings the source of product supply should be checked against the order. There may be requirements for an external clean supply, particular supply pressure or the commencement of lubrication supply before pump start-up.

Frequency of lubrication

5.7.6 The characteristics of the installation and severity of service will determine the frequency of lubrication. Lubricant and pump/motor bearing temperature analysis is useful in optimizing lubricant change intervals.

The motor bearing temperature limitations should be considered for its lubrication requirements. Refer to the driver manufacturer’s user instructions supplied with the pump. If documents are not found contact Flowserve.

Never mix greases containing different bases, thickeners or additives.

Normal vibration levels, alarm and trip

5.7.7 Pumps generally fall under classification of rigid support machines within the International Rotating Machinery standard and maximum vibration levels are based on those standards

Alarm and trip values for installed pumps should be based on the actual measurements (N) taken on the pump in a fully commissioned (new) condition. Measuring vibration at regular intervals and recording will help to track any deterioration in pump or operating conditions. Measurements shall be taken at the pump/motor interface.

5.7.8

Motor start/stop frequency Even though motors are normally suitable for at least two consecutive starts, it is recommended to restart only after coasting to rest between starts (minimum of 15 minutes gap), with the motor initially at ambient temperature. If more frequent starting is necessary, refer to driver manufacturer’s instructions or contact Flowserve with details.

The number of motor start and stops

in any given time affects motor life.



If the motor is expected to experience multi

starts in any given time, please refer to the driver’s user instructions before the pump is put into operation.

Operating the Pump

5.8

5.8.1

Venting the pump

Make sure that the pump is vented to enable all trapped air to escape, taking due care with the hazardous or hot liquids. Under normal conditions after the pump is fully vented and primed, it should be unnecessary to re-vent the pump.

DISCHARGE VENT LINE

SUCTION VENT LINE

SUCTION SOURCE

SEALING LIQUID

Pumps fitted with packed glands

5.8.2 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 pressurized.

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 begin to overheat.

If overheating takes place, the pump should be stopped and allowed to cool before being re-started. When the pump is re-started, check to ensure leakage is taking place at the packing gland.

If hot liquids are being pumped it may be necessary to loosen 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 40-60 drops per minute is required.

Care must be taken when adjusting the gland on an operating pump. Safety gloves are essential. Loose clothing must not be worn to avoid being caught by the pump shaft. Shaft guards must be replaced after the gland adjustment is complete.

Never run gland packing dry, even for

a short time.

Pumps fitted with mechanical seal

5.8.3 Mechanical seals require no adjustment. 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 face.

External flush or quench should be started before the pump is run and allowed to flow for a period after the pump has stopped.

Never run a mechanical seal dry, even for a short time.

VERTICAL TURBINE PUMPS (VTPS) CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS ENGLISH 71569224 – 10-13

Pump and motor bearing temperature

5.8.4

If the pumps are working in a potentially explosive atmosphere, temperature or vibration monitoring at the bearings is recommended.

If pump bearing temperatures (such as thrust bearings) are to be monitored it is essential that a benchmark temperature is recorded at the commissioning stage and after the bearing temperature has 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 and 105 C (220 F) for grease lubrication

It is important, particularly with grease lubrication, to keep a close watch on the bearing temperatures. After startup 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 reduce with time.

5.8.5

Multiple Can Pump Operation

Additional procedures may be required in multiple can pump systems when one or more pump remains idle. Contact Flowserve for details.

Stopping and Shutdown

5.9

a) Close the outlet valve, but ensure that the pump

runs in this condition for no more 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.

For prolonged shutdowns 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.

Hydraulic, mechanical and electrical

5.10

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 decide how to evaluate the implications

of any change. If in doubt contact your nearest Flowserve office.

5.10.1 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.

5.10.2 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.

5.10.3 Pump speed

Changing pump speed effects flow, total head, power absorbed, NPSH

, noise and vibration. Flow varies in

direct proportion to 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, NPSH

> NPSHR, and that noise and vibration are

within local requirements and regulations.

5.10.4 Net positive suction head (NPSH

NPSH available (NPSH

) is a measure of the head

)

available in the pumped liquid, above its vapour pressure, at the pump suction branch.

NPSH required (NPSH

) 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 NPSH NPSH

> NPSHR should be as large as possible. If any

change in NPSH

> NPSHR. The margin between

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.

5.10.5 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

General

6.1

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.)

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 5.9.

Guard fasteners must remain captive during dismantling of guards as described in section 5.5

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 leaks may make the ground slippery. Machine maintenance must always begin and finish by cleaning the ground 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 have 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 open 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.

Maintenance Schedule

6.2

It is recommended that a maintenance plan

and schedule is adopted, in line with these User Instructions, 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.

Our specialist 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 8, Faults; causes and remedies,

Periodic inspection (every 6 Months)

6.2.2

a) Check foundation bolts for

security of attachment and corrosion.

b) Check pump operation hours to determine if

bearing lubricant shall be changed.

c) The coupling should be checked for correct

alignment and worn driving elements.



equipment for periodic checks needed.

6.2.3

6.2.3.1 In general, VTPs that are product lubricated will not require further periodic lubrication. Stuffing box and mechanical seal needs flow of flush. Enclosed line shaft pumps have to be provided with the required oil quantity for an oil lubed system and the injection lube flow at the required pressure for injection lubed systems.

6.2.3.2

Refer to the manuals of any associated

Re-lubrication

Pump lubrication

Driver lubrication

Refer to driver manufacturer’s User

Instructions supplied with the pump.

Impeller re-adjustment

6.2.4 Ordinarily, impellers will not require re-adjustment if properly set at initial installation.

All adjustments of the impellers will change the seal setting, therefore, the seal must be loosened from the shaft until the adjustment is completed and then reset.

Maintenance of the stuffing box

6.2.5

6.2.5.1 Maintenance of the stuffing box will consist of greasing the box when required, tightening the packing gland occasionally as the leakage becomes excessive, and installing new packing rings or sets as required.

6.2.5.2 Under ordinary operation, once-a-month greasing of the stuffing box will be adequate. A high quality industrial grade # 2 grease is recommended.

6.2.5.3 Remove gland and all old packing. If the box contains a lantern ring, remove this and all packing below it using two long threaded machine screws.

Inspect shaft or sleeve for score marks or rough spots. Be sure by-pass holes (if supplied) are not plugged. Repair or replace badly worn shaft or sleeve.

If wear is minor dress down until smooth and concentric. Clean box bore.

Oil inside and outside of replacement rings lightly and install in box, staggering joints 90 degrees. Be sure to replace lantern ring in proper position when used.

Replace gland and tighten nuts finger tight. The packing gland must never be tightened to the point where leakage from the packing is stopped.

A small amount of leakage is required for packing lubrication.

Packing ring sizes vary with the shaft diameter. Packing ring size information are as follows.

Disassembly

6.8

Refer to section 1.6, Safety, before

dismantling the pump.

Before dismantling the pump for overhaul, ensure genuine Flowserve replacement parts are available. Refer to sectional drawings for part numbers and identification.

Please take precaution during disassembly that there is no risk of explosion due to the nature of the materials/ tools/ equipment/ method used. Wherever chemical and hazardous materials are involved, proper safety rules have to be followed to prevent any dangers to human lives or livestock. Contact Flowserve for guidance, or local regulatory agency for specific safety information.

Pump disassembly instructions

6.8.1 See section 8 for sectional drawings. a) Disconnect all cables/wires and cooling water

pipe connections to the driver (if provided).

b) Carefully remove the flush or lubricant

connections and remove any associated piping that would interfere with the dismantling.

c) Make sure that all the valves are shut completely

to avoid any leaks or spills.

d) Disconnect the coupling halves [471] (the driver

& pump).

e) Disconnect the suction (if used) and discharge

pipe connections to the discharge head.

f) Rig the motor to a suitable hoist and keep the

lifting mechanism in ready state.

g) Remove the motor to discharge head [304]

bolting and remove the motor from the discharge

head and place it on a safe and appropriate location.

h) If the pump is of shorter length (with or without

can) rig the discharge head along with the entire pump assembly (see section 2.3 for lifting) using a suitable hoist (check the building height clearance before the lifting is attempted)

i) Use eye bolts and hooks as necessary and get

the lifting mechanism in ready state.

j) Lifting of short set pumps

 Remove the fasteners at the discharge

head/foundation/soleplate

 Lift the entire pump assembly by clamping at

the discharge head [304] (See section 2.3)

k) Lifting of deep set pumps

 Remove the fasteners at the foundation plate

or soleplate

 Remove stuffing box/Mechanical seal [349]

completely. Protect the shaft against damage while lifting the discharge head [304]

 Lift the pump just enough to access the first

column pipe flange connection

 Support the entire pump just below the first

column pipe joint [101]

 Disconnect the discharge head [304] and lift  Now lift the pump again by using column pipe

flange and disconnect the first section of column piping

 Remove the bearing retainers [307] and shaft

couplings [70] and repeat the process until all column piping is disassembled

 Last step is to lift and remove the bowl

assembly

See section 2.3, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 for related information.

Examination of Parts

6.9

Used parts must be inspected before assembly to ensure the pump will subsequently run properly. In particular, fault diagnosis is essential to enhance pump and plant reliability.

Before proceeding with assembly, thoroughly clean all bolts, nuts, threaded connections and mating faces. Clean up any burrs with a file or emery cloth.

Cleanliness and proper lubrication are required to guarantee ease of re-assembly and proper pump operation.

VERTICAL TURBINE PUMPS (VTPS) CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS ENGLISH 71569224 – 10-13

Examination of shaft/s

6.9.1 Check the shafts for straightness, pitting and wear. Remove all burrs or nicks. Shaft damage is usually best corrected by replacing the shaft.

The shaft must be straight to within 0.127 mm (0.005 in.) total indicator reading. The detail below shows the recommended method for checking shaft straightness. If the shaft is not straight, it must be straightened or replaced. If the deflection is gradual over a considerable length, the shaft can usually be straightened by supporting on two blocks straddling the crooked section and applying pressure to the high side to deflect the shaft in the opposite direction. If the shaft has a sharp crook (dog-leg), it is recommended that the shaft be replaced since the shaft will not always remain straight, even if satisfactorily straightened.

DIAL INDICATOR

ROLLERS

SHAFT

Even if the shaft is new or has been previously straightened, it is recommended that the shaft be re-checked at this point to ensure damage has not occurred in transit or handling.

Examination of bearings

6.9.2 Check all bearings for total clearance over the shaft. It is recommended that all bearings indicating visual wear be replaced. In addition, any bearings whose running clearance exceeds "As New" tolerances by more than 50% should be replaced (see table 6.8.2.1).

Rubber bearings should always be replaced

when servicing a pump.

Bronze, epoxy, carbon and hard-backed rubber bearings are pressed into their respective bores. They can either be pressed out or machined on the inside diameter until the wall is thin enough to collapse.

Some rubber bearings are the snap-in or glue-in type. These can be removed by prying inward on the outside of the bearing to collapse it.

If the bearing bore of the housing is heavily scarred or corroded, the part should be replaced or reworked to provide a true bore for the bearing.

Replacement bearings are designed to be pressed into housings so bores will shrink to "as new" tolerances. Measure the bore of bearings after pressing and ream as necessary to assure "as new" tolerances.

Inspection of bowl assembly

6.9.3

When repairing a bowl assembly that has been in service for several years, the physical condition or strength of all parts such as cap screws, bowls and bowl threads must be carefully checked.

Page 52 of 76 flowserve.com

VERTICAL TURBINE PUMPS (VTPS) CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS ENGLISH 71569224 – 10-13

When attempting to rework any part, extreme care must be taken to maintain alignment of mating parts and ensure “as new” tolerances.

The inspection, disassembly of bowl assembly requires expertise and tools to perform the job correctly. It is recommended to seek the services of Flowserve trained technicians to inspect and repair bowl assemblies.

6.9.3.1

Inspection of enclosed impellers

a) Clear all passageways and check for signs of

damage from abrasion or corrosion. Replace an impeller that shows signs of excessive wear.

b) Check impeller running clearances against “as

new” tolerances listed in the section 0. If the clearances exceed the maximum tolerances shown by more than 50%, the new wear rings should be installed to obtain correct tolerances.

c) If the original unit was furnished with bowl and

impeller wear rings, they may be pressed or machined off.

Please note that certain repairs may require special skills and it is recommended to contact Flowserve authorized service center before attempting any such repairs.

See wear ring tolerance chart in section 0.

6.9.3.2

Inspection of semi-open impellers

a) Clear all passageways and check for signs of

damage from abrasion or corrosion.

b) Replace any impeller, which shows signs of

excessive wear. If the bowl faces or impellers are worn slightly (grooves in either impeller or bowl under 0.79 mm (1/32 in.)), they can be corrected by re-facing the impeller and bowl.

0.79 mm (1/32 in.) is the maximum that can be machined off without harm to the hydraulic performance of the pump.

c) The machining must match the face angle and

should be re-faced by an authorized Flowserve repair facility or replaced.

If the impeller has a balance ring on the topside (side opposite pumping vanes) running clearances must be checked.

Please see section 6.9.4 for wearing ring tolerance chart for enclosed impellers.
