1.6 Safety

1.6.1 Summary of safety markings

These User Instructions contain specific safety

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

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

This symbol indicates safety instructions where

non-compliance would affect personal safety and could result in loss of life.

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

This symbol indicates safety instructions

where non-compliance will involve some risk to safe

operation and personal safety and would damage the

equipment or property.

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

This symbol is used in safety instructions to

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

This sign is not a safety symbol but indicates

an important instruction in the assembly process.

1.6.2 Personnel qualification and training

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

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

safety requirements and applicable safety and health laws and regulations.

1.6.3 Safety action

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

NEVER DO MAINTENANCE WORK

WHEN THE UNIT IS CONNECTED TO POWER

GUARDS MUST NOT BE REMOVED WHILE

THE PUMP IS OPERATIONAL

DRAIN THE PUMP AND ISOLATE PIPEWORK

BEFORE DISMANTLING THE PUMP

The appropriate safety precautions should be taken

where the pumped liquids are hazardous.

FLUORO-ELASTOMERS (When fitted.)

When a pump has experienced temperatures over

250 ºC (482 ºF), partial decomposition of fluoro-

elastomers (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.

Page 5 of 40 flowserve.com

WPG and WPH USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 26999969 10-12

If the temperature is greater than 80 ºC (175 ºF) or

below -5 ºC (20 ºF) in a restricted zone, or exceeds local regulations, action as above shall be taken.

HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS

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

must be applied.

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 PART OPENED

(Unless otherwise instructed at a specific point in the

User Instructions.)

This is recommended to minimize the risk of overloading and damaging the pump or motor at full or zero flow. Pumps may be started with the valve further open only on installations where this situation cannot occur. The pump outlet control valve may need to be adjusted to comply with the duty following the run-up process. (See section 5, Commissioning start-up, operation and shutdown.)

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.

DO NOT RUN THE PUMP AT ABNORMALLY HIGH OR LOW FLOW RATES

Operating at a flow rate higher than normal or at a flow rate with no back pressure on the pump may overload the motor and cause cavitation. Low flow rates may cause a reduction in pump/bearing life, overheating of

the pump, instability and cavitation/vibration.

1.6.4 Products used in potentially explosive

atmospheres

Measures are required to:

 Avoid excess temperature  Prevent build up of explosive mixtures  Prevent the generation of sparks  Prevent leakages  Maintain the pump to avoid hazard

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

1.6.4.1 Scope of compliance

Use equipment only in the zone for which it is

appropriate. Always check that the driver, drive

coupling assembly, seal and pump equipment are suitably rated and/or certified for the classification of the

specific atmosphere in which they are to be installed.

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

The output from a variable frequency drive (VFD) can cause additional heating effects in the motor and so, for pump 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.

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

Maximum permitted liquid temperature for pumps

* The table only takes the ATEX temperature class into consideration.

Pump design or material, as well as component design or material, may further limit the maximum working temperature of the liquid.

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

The 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 when the pump is required to be used in differently classified potentially explosive atmospheres. In this case the user is responsible for ensuring that the pump surface temperature does not exceed that permitted in its actual installed location.

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.

Avoid mechanical, hydraulic or electrical overload by using motor overload trips, temperature monitors 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.

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.

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, fit an appropriate dry run protection device (for example liquid detection or a power monitor).

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

Page 7 of 40 flowserve.com

WPG and WPH USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 26999969 10-12

1.6.4.5 Preventing sparks

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

To avoid the potential hazard from random induced current generating a spark, the baseplate must be

properly grounded.

Avoid electrostatic charge: do not rub non-metallic

surfaces with a dry cloth; ensure cloth is damp.

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

maintained.

1.6.4.6 Additional requirement for metallic pumps on non-metallic baseplates

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

1.6.4.7 Preventing leakage

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

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

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

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

If leakage of liquid to atmosphere can result in a hazard, install a liquid detection device

1.6.4.8 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.

To avoid potential explosion hazards during maintenance, the tools, cleaning and painting materials used must not give rise to sparking or

adversely affect the ambient conditions. Where there is a risk from such tools or materials, maintenance must be conducted in a safe area.

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

1.7 Nameplate and safety labels

1.7.1 Nameplate

For details of nameplate, see the Declaration of Conformity, or separate documentation included with

these User Instructions. EU regulation 547/2012 requires the statement on a

1.8.2 Ecodesign

EU regulation 547/2012 of the Directive 2009/125/EC, for the minimum efficiency of defined classes of water pumps requires that products must show their Minimum Efficiency Index (MEI) value. The EU benchmark MEI ≥ 0.70. Also product information must be available to users.

Performance curves will have been provided with the quotation or order or are available at flowserve.com.

The efficiency of a pump with trimmed impeller is usually lower than that of a pump with the full impeller diameter. Trimming of the impeller will adapt the pump to a fixed duty point, leading to reduced energy consumption. The minimum efficiency index (MEI) is based on the full impeller diameter.

The operation of this water pump with variable duty points may be more efficient and economic when controlled by, for example, by the use of a variable speed drive that matches the pump duty to the system.

Information on benchmark efficiency is available at;

www.europump.org/efficiencycharts

1.9 Noise level

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

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

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

Note: for 1 180 and 960 r/min reduce 1 450 r/min values by 2 dBA. For 880 and 720 r/min reduce 1 450 r/min values by 3 dBA.

Page 9 of 40 flowserve.com

WPG and WPH USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 26999969 10-12

Similarly the motor noise assumed in the “pump and motor” noise is that typically expected from standard

and high efficiency motors when on load directly driving the pump. Note that a motor driven by an inverter may show an increased noise at some speeds.

If a pump unit only has been purchased for fitting with

your own driver then the “pump only” noise levels in

the table should be combined with the level for the driver obtained from the supplier. Consult Flowserve or a noise specialist if assistance is required in combining the values.

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

The values are in sound pressure level LpA at 1 m

(3.3 ft) from the machine, for “free field conditions

over a reflecting plane”.

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

2 TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

2.1 Consignment receipt and unpacking

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

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

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

2.2 Handling

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

size and construction.

2.3 Lifting

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

No specific lifting points are provided

for this complete machine (unless so specified). Any lifting points that can be seen are provided only for dismantling parts for servicing. Slings, ropes and other lifting gear should be positioned where they cannot slip and where a balanced lift is obtained. The angle between sling or ropes used for lifting must

not exceed 60°.

Before lifting the driver alone, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.

The driver weight is recorded on its nameplate.

2.4 Storage

Store the pump in a clean, dry location

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

from sticking.

The pump may be stored as above for up to 6 months. Consult Flowserve for preservative actions

when a longer storage period is needed.

2.5 Recycling and end of product life

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

3 DESCRIPTION

3.1 Configurations

This is a robust centrifugal pump design for a wide

range of applications.

3.2 Name nomenclature

The pump size will be engraved on the nameplate

typically as below:

50WPG160

Nominal discharge branch size in mm W – Cast iron design

C – Stainless steel design PG – Standard, grease lubricated bearings

PH – Heavy duty build, oil lubricated bearings Nominal maximum impeller diameter in mm

The typical nomenclature above is the general guide

to the D-line pump configuration description.

Identify the actual pump size and serial number from the pump nameplate. Check that this agrees with the

applicable certification provided.

3.3 Design of major parts

3.3.1 Pump casing

The pump casing is designed with a horizontal centreline end inlet and a vertical centreline top outlet, which makes it self-venting. For ease of maintenance, the pump is constructed so that pipe connections do not have to be disturbed when internal maintenance is required.

3.3.2 Impeller

A shrouded impeller with hub rings is fitted.

3.3.3 Shaft

The large diameter stiff shaft, mounted on bearings,

has a keyed drive end.

3.3.4 Bearing bearings and lubrication

The pump is fitted with ball and/or roller type bearings which may be configured differently dependent on use.

The bearings may be oil or grease lubricated.

3.3.5 Seal housing

The seal housing has spigots between the pump casing and bearing housing for optimum concentricity. A fully confined gasket forms the seal between the pump casing and the seal housing. The design

enables one of a number of sealing options to be fitted.

3.3.6 Shaft seal

The mechanical seal(s) attached to the pump shaft seals the pumped liquid from the environment. Gland

packing may be fitted as an option.

3.3.7 Driver

The pump is driven by a close-coupled electric motor.

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

re-fit the fasteners.

3.3.8 Accessories

Accessories may be fitted when specified by the

customer.

3.4 Performance and operating limits

This product has been selected to meet the specifications of the purchase order. (See section 1.5.)

These pumps are generally fitted with TEFC motors with an ambient temperature limit of 40 °C. Specific pumps may be fitted with motors to suit client's

requirements with other ambient temperature limits see motor nameplate for details.

3.4.1 Pressure limits

The operating pressure has been selected to meet your specified requirements. See paragraph 1.5, Duty conditions, for details.

The pressure and temperature operating limits for the flanges are in accordance with the relevant National or

International standards unless advised otherwise.

Heating/cooling jackets for seal or stuffing box are designed for operation up to 5 bar (72.5 psi).

Jacketed pump casings for CPG and CPH units only are designed for operation up to 5 bar (72.5 psi).

4 INSTALLATION

Equipment operated in hazardous locations must 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

These pumps are not normally supplied in part assemblies but special accessories such as loose orifice plates are supplied loose. Ensure these are incorporated in the final installation.

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 and 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 are met:

a) The baseplate 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.)

b) Install the baseplate onto packing pieces evenly

spaced and adjacent to foundation bolts.

4.4 Grouting

Where applicable, grout in the foundation bolts.

After adding pipework connections and rechecking the coupling alignment, the baseplate should then be grouted in accordance with good engineering practice. Fabricated steel, cast iron and epoxy baseplates can be filled with grout. Folded steel baseplates should be grouted to locate their packing pieces. If in any doubt,

please contact your nearest service centre for advice.

Grouting provides solid contact between the pump unit and foundation, prevents lateral movement of vibrating

equipment and dampens resonant vibrations.

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

4.5 Alignment of couplings

4.5.1 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, the unit should be run at the actual operating temperature, shut down and the alignment checked immediately.

Motor and pump centre line height adjustment:

c) Level with shims between baseplate and packing

pieces.

d) The pump and driver have been aligned before

dispatch however the alignment of pump and motor half coupling must be checked. If this is incorrect, it indicates that the baseplate has become twisted

and should be corrected by re-shimming

e) If not supplied, guarding shall be fitted as necessary

to meet the requirements of ISO 12100 and EN953.
