4.1 - PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION (See figure at side)
The aspirated gas enters the pump chamber A-B via the pump suction flange. The gas is trapped between 2 impeller
vanes. The impeller rotates eccentrically in relation to the centreline of the liquid ring that, by centrifugal force, assumes
the shape of the impeller casing. The progressive change of volume between the 2 vanes, the impeller hub and the
liquid ring first creates a vacuum and then a compression of the gas in the B-C area till the gas is discharged, together
with a portion of the liquid, through the discharge port C-D. The lost liquid must then be replenished.

4.2 - SERVICE LIQUID PROPERTIES


For a good operation the liquid ring pumps must be supplied with a service liquid which is clean, non abrasive and free
of any solids.
The service liquid temperature should not exceed 80°C and the gas handled should be maximum 100°C; the liquid
3
density should be between 800 and 1200 g/dm and the viscosity should be less than 40 cSt (the pump performance will
change if the service liquid has properties different than those of water at 15°C). All engineering data is based on the
use of 15°C as service liquid, see chapter 17 for additional information.
Contact POMPETRAVAINI before using liquids with properties outside the ranges listed above.
In case the metallic pump wetted parts come into contact with aggressive liquids it is recommended to stick to the
following limitations:
- pH limit for cast iron and ductile iron ≥ 6
- pH limit for stainless steel ≥ 2,5
The above values are approximate and refer to ambient temperature. It is recommended to contact POMPETRAVAINI
for doubts, particular conditions or in case different materials are used.

4.3 - PUMP MODELS AND TABLES FOR MATERIAL OF CONSTRUCTION


On the pump nameplate are printed the pump serial number, the year of manufacture and the pump model. Refer to the
following example for understanding the coding of the pump model.

DANGER!
Danger due to cut, prick or abrasion Take immediate actions to dispose of possible packaging parts that may
generate injuries or risks (for example edges, nails, splinters, etc.)

Organize the right management of materials subjected to controlled and differentiate disposal (for example
plastic, cartoon, polystyrene materials, etc.) according to the laws into force and to a safe local environment
management. according to the laws into force and to a safe local environment management.
If the pump will be stored, as foreseen in our Operating Manuals, we recommend a proper care to avoid oil
dropping on the ground.

The pump or assembly must ALWAYS be moved and transported in the horizontal position.
Prior to moving the unit find the following:
- total weight
- centre of gravity
- maximum outside dimensions
- lifting points location.

DANGER!
Danger due to overturning or crushing. For safe lifting to prevent material damages and/or personal injuries, it
is recommended to use ropes, or belts properly positioned on the pump and/or lifting eyebolts and make
correct movements.
Operate provided with apposite protective devices.
(For the Oilsys systems see chapter 19).

The fig. 1 and 2 show several additional examples of lifting.


Avoid lifts whereby the ropes or straps, form a triangle with the top angle over 90°(see fig. 3).
Lifting eyebolts fitted on single components of the assembly (pump or motor) should not be used to lift the total
assembly.
The fig. 4 shows several additional examples of lifting to be avoided.

CAUTION!
Possible contact with fluids or harmful substances. Before removal after a period of operation, the pump,
together with auxiliary piping and jacketing, must be drained and decontaminated from the handled media.
Every hole and opening communicating with the inside of the pump must be properly plugged.
For removing the pump from the installation see chapter 17. Operate provided with apposite protective
devices.

6 - STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

After receipt and inspection, if not immediately installed, the unit must be repackaged and stored.
For a proper storage proceed as follows:
- store the pump in a location that is closed, clean, dry and free of vibrations
- do not store in areas with less than 5°C temperature (for lower temperature it is necessary to completely drain the
pump of any liquids that are subject to freezing).

POSSIBILITY OF FREEZING!
Where the ambient temperature is less than 5°C it is recommended to drain the pump, piping, separator, heat
i exchanger, etc. or add an anti-freeze solution to prevent damage to the equipment.
It is possible to use as antifreeze a mixture of surface-active glycol or other suitable products making sure they
are compatible with both pump gaskets and elastomers.

- fill the pump with a rust-preventative liquid that is compatible with the pump gaskets and elastomers. Rotate the shaft
by hand to impregnate all internal surfaces. Drain the excessive liquid from the pump and associated piping (see
chapter 11).
Please note that the pumps with cast iron internal parts have been treated at the factory, prior to shipment, with a
rust-preventative liquid: this liquid is capable of protecting the pump against rust for a period of 3 to 6 months.
A further solution, for long term storage, is to fill the pump with the rust inhibitor, rotate the pump shaft by hand to
eliminate any air pockets (the liquid must be suitable with gasket, elastomers and pump materials).
- plug all openings that connect the pump internals to the atmosphere
- protect all machined surfaces with an anti-rust material (grease, oils, etc.)
- cover the unit with plastic sheet or similar protective material
- rotate pump shaft at least every three months to avoid possible rust build-up or seizing
- keep the pump in a dry and clean place not subjected to vibrations caused by other sources
- pump accessories should be subjected to similar procedure.

7 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION!
Avoid installing the unit in narrow areas and lacking of ventilation where unfavourable conditions for the
personnel may take place. Allow the personnel a good visibility of the pump assembly by providing a proper
lighting.

CAUTION!
A proper pump installation must not transmit vibrations to ambient in the permanent presence of personnel.

Information to determine the piping sizes and floor space requirements can be obtained from dimension drawings and
other engineering data. The information required is:
- size and location of suction and discharge flanges
- size and location of service liquid connection and connections for cooling, heating, flushing, draining, etc.
- location and size for mounting bolts for monoblock pump and/or baseplate and/or frame.

In the event additional accessories are required to complete the installation such as separators, piping, valves, etc. refer
to chapters 7.2 to 7.8.
Proper lifting devices should be available for installation and repair operations.
Pump assembly should be installed in an accessible location with adequate clear and clean space all around for
maintenance, so that an efficient and proper installation can be made.
It is important to have proper room around the unit for ventilation of motor and air cooled radiator, if applicable. Avoid
installing the unit in hidden locations, dusty and lacking of ventilation (minimum 0,6 metres of empty room around).
Select a mounting pad that will minimise vibrations or torsion of the pump baseplate or frame. It is generally preferred to
have a concrete base or sturdy steel beams. The installation must not transmit vibrations to the pump.
It is important to provide adequate anchor bolting for the pump frame or baseplate to be firmly attached to the
foundations (see fig. 5).

BASEPLATE

SPACER

CONCRETE

ANCHOR BOLT

Fig. 5
Operating manual liquid ring vacuum pumps and compressors series TRH - TRS - TRM - TRV - SA & Systems type HYDROSYS - OILSYS 9
Concrete pads and other concrete works must be aged, dry and clean before the pump assembly can be positioned in
place. Complete all the work relating to the foundations and grouting of the pump assembly, before proceeding with the
mechanical and electrical portion of the installation.

7.1 - PIPING CONNECTIONS


Identify first locations and dimensions of all connections required to interconnect the pump with the installation, then
proceed with the actual piping: connect the pump suction and discharge flanges, the service liquid line and all other
service connections (see fig. 6 to 15).

CAUTION!
Possible contact with hazardous media and hazardous substances, cold or warm.
Be sure to pipe the correct connection from the installation to the respective pump connection ! operate only
provided with apposite protective devices.

To prevent any limb or foreign matters from entering the pump during installation, do not remove protection cap from
flanges or cover from openings until the piping is ready for hook-up.
Verify that all foreign objects such as welding bits, bolts, nuts, rags and dirt are removed from piping, separators, etc.
before these are connected to the pump.
Flanges should be connected parallel with each other, without stress and with bolt holes lined up. The weight of the pipe
must not weigh on the pump.
The flange gaskets should not interfere with the inside diameter of piping and/or flange.

i All piping must be independently supported, easily located and must not transmit forces or torque to the pump
due to the weight or to thermal expansions.

Piping size must never be less than the respective connection on the pump.
Suction and discharge flanges are vertical and identified with arrows.
To minimise friction losses and back-pressures, the discharge piping should be one size larger than the pump
connection size. To avoid back-pressure and possibility of flooding the pump when it stops, it is recommended to limit
the rise of the discharge piping to approximately 50 cm above the pump discharge flange.
Upon completion piping and connections should be tested for leakage under vacuum.

7.2 - ACCESSORIES
Listed below are common accessories that may be supplied with the pump or added at a later date. See fig. 6 to 15 for
locations and connection sizes on the pumps.

Non return valve, (check valve)


Prevent back-flow of gas and liquid in the suction piping and/or discharge piping when the pump stops.
Is installed on the pump suction flange in the case of vacuum service or on the pump discharge flange in the case of
compressor service.

Vacuum relief valve


It is used to protect the pump from cavitation or to regulate the suction minimum pressure (or max vacuum).
When the pump capacity exceeds the system load at a given vacuum, the relief valve opens letting in atmospheric air or
gas (if connected to the discharge separator) keeping constant the pre-set vacuum.

Automatic draining valve


It is used to drain the pump to the shaft centreline when the pump stops so to prevent that the pump has excessive
liquid for the next start-up. Starting the pump full or with too much liquid could severely damage the pump.

Vacuum gauge
Usually installed under the pump suction flange, will provide an indication of the pump operating vacuum (pressure).

Discharge reservoir separator


It separates the service liquid from the gases at the pump discharge.
It can be mounted on the pump discharge flange (type HSF) or on the pump baseplate (type HSP).
It is required when the system is with partial or total recovery of the service liquid.

Heat exchanger
It cools the service liquid for those systems with total liquid recovery: it can be plate and frame type, shell and tube type
or radiator type, depending upon the application.

Filter
Required to stop solids from entering the pump suction. Sizing of the filter is very important as it could create excessive
pressure drops which would affect the pump performance.

7.3 - INSTALLATION SCHEMATICS FOR LIQUID RING VACUUM PUMPS
CAUTION!
Possible contact with hazardous media and hazardous substances, cold or warm. Operate only provided with
apposite protective devices.

The working principle of the vacuum pump requires a continuous flow of fresh and clean liquid that enters the pump at
the service liquid connection identified by the letter Z (see chapter 7.11). The liquid is discharged together with the
handled gas through the pump discharge flange.

Dispose the waste liquids according to the current regulations protecting the environment. The obtained liquid-
water mixture must be collected and, according to the environmental disposal regulations, treated as special
liquid.

The quantity of said liquid will vary with pump size and degree of working vacuum (see performance curves and/or tab. 3).
The service liquid absorbs the compression heat generated by the pump compression therefore its temperature will rise
by some 3-4°C (for additional information see chapter 17).
There are three basic installation schematics listed below that may be considered, depending upon the quantity of
service liquid that is desired and possible to be recycled.

7.3.1 - Service liquid: Once-through system (no recovery)


All the service liquid is supplied from an external source. The liquid is separated from the incoming gas in the discharge
separator and is totally drained.
This is the most common installation scheme and can be applied when it is available an abundant constant flow of fresh
liquid and/or when the liquid contamination problem never exist.
The service liquid should be supplied at the pump connection with a pressure of 0.4 bar maximum to avoid flooding the
pump with too much liquid. If this is not possible it is recommended to install a reservoir fitted with a float valve, this tank
is supplied with the liquid that is then pulled by the pump as required by the operating conditions.
The liquid level in the reservoir should be approximately at the pump shaft centreline.
Schematic fig. 6 illustrates the once-through system.

7.3.2 - Service liquid: Partial recovery system


This type of installation is used where it is desired to minimise the use of fresh service liquid (for calculations see
chapter 17).
The service liquid enters and leaves the pump same as the once through system, however part of the liquid is recycled
from the discharge separator and the balance is continuously supplied from an external source. The excessive liquid is
drained through the separator overflow connection: take care of its possible disposal according to the laws into force and
to a safe local environment management.
The temperature of the mixed liquid supplied to the pump will be higher than the temperature of the make-up liquid. Its
final temperature will depend upon the amount of the recycled liquid.
It is important to remember that with higher service liquid temperature the pump performance will decrease (see chapter
17) with the possibility of operating the pump in the cavitation area.
When the separator/reservoir is installed along side of the pump (type HSP), its liquid level should not be above the
pump shaft centreline.
When flanged separators (type HSF) are mounted on the pump discharge flange, the liquid level is automatically
maintained by the location of the connections.
Schematic fig. 7 illustrates the system with partial recovery of the service liquid.

7.3.3 - Service liquid: Total recovery system


This system has total recycle of the service liquid without fresh liquid make-up from an outside source.
A heat exchanger is required to lower and control the temperature of the recycled service liquid: for sizing and
calculations of heat loads see chapter 17.
A circulating pump will be required for those applications where the vacuum pump operates for extended period of times
in the pressure ranges above 500/600 mbar or when there are high pressure drops in the closed loop including the heat
exchanger (over approximately 1,5 m).
The liquid level in the separator/reservoir should not be above the pump shaft centreline.
Losses of liquid from the closed loop must be compensated with an equal amount from an outside source.
Schematic fig. 8 illustrates the system with total recovery of the service liquid.

Operating manual liquid ring vacuum pumps and compressors series TRH - TRS - TRM - TRV - SA & Systems type HYDROSYS - OILSYS 11
7.4 - INSTALLATION SCHEMATICS FOR LIQUID RING COMPRESSORS
The liquid ring vacuum pump can also operate as a compressor up to a maximum differential pressure, depending upon
the models, of about 2 bar. The compressors series SA are specifically engineered to perform with differential pressures
of up to 10 bar, depending on models.
The principle of operation is same as given in previous paragraph (7.3 for vacuum pumps) and there are three possible
type of installations: once-through service liquid, partial recovery service liquid and total recovery service liquid.
The service liquid entering the compressor connection should have a pressure of minimum 0,4 bar g above the
compressor operating inlet pressure. A booster pump will be required if the service liquid is available at lower pressures.
Separator/reservoir is considered a pressure vessel and as such it must be engineered and built to the applicable codes
(ISPESL, ASME, etc.). Accessories such as pressure relief valve, check valve(non-return valve), automatic float type
drain valve(water trap), etc. are required in a compressor system.
Fig. 9, 10 and 11 illustrate the three possible types of installations.

7.5 - INSTALLATION OF “HYDROSYS” SYSTEMS


HYDROSYS systems are factory assembled and piped including discharge separator/reservoir, heat exchanger
(air/liquid or air/air), circulating pump, and all required accessories mounted on a common compact baseplate/frame.
See chapter 18 for additional details.
Installation of HYDROSYS system is similar to that of a vacuum pump or a compressor with partial recovery or total
recovery of service liquid depending upon the application (see chapter 7.3 or 7.4).
It is important to properly engineer the connecting piping to the system suction and discharge, cooling lines, flushing
lines, and draining lines.
The used heat exchanger is designed with service liquid being cooled approximately 4 to 6°C over the available cooling
media temperature. The cooling liquid flow is approximately same as the service liquid flow needed by the pump at the
operating conditions (see chapter 7.7 or 7.8).
Schematics for once-through, partial and total service liquid recovery are shown in fig. 7 - 8 - 10 - 11.

7.6 - INSTALLATION OF “OILSYS” SYSTEMS


CAUTION!
Possible contact with hazardous media, cold or warm, and pump surfaces, cold or warm. During the
functioning the pump, the separator tank and pipes connections may reach temperatures higher than 60°C. In
case, adopt the necessary precautions and protection to satisfy the safety regulations in force. Operate only
provided with apposite protective devices.

OILSYS are factory packaged systems including liquid ring vacuum pump using oil for service liquid. For additional
details see chapter 19. The system is complete with oil circulating pump, heat exchanger, oil demister, cyclone for
removal of dust (optional) and other accessories upon request.
Installation is simple and does not require additional details other than those already discussed in the previous chapter.
Suction and discharge piping should be connected to the respective pump flanges. When locating the discharge piping it
should be noted that although the system is fitted with oil demister, there may still be traces of oil fumes carried by the
vented gas. Make sure therefore, that the selected area for vacuum pump discharge is suitable for such purpose.
All other connections, (heat exchanger, draining, etc.) must be properly done. See fig. 39 for location of connections.

7.7 - SERVICE LIQUID (H2O at 15°C) FLOW (in m /h) FOR VACUUM PUMPS
The listed values are referred to the system with “Once-through” service liquid, handling dry air at 20°C (for more
specific data see the pump’s performance curve).
To reduce the amount of service liquid flow read the information given in chapter 17.
If the pump is handling saturated or condensable gases at relatively high temperatures, there will be condensation inside
the pump. In those cases the service liquid flow listed below can be increased up to 25% to reduce the discharge
temperature and minimise the danger of pump cavitation at high vacuum.

Noise level (sound pressure level measured at 1 m distance, without motor, with pump installed in the system and
sound power level Lw) for pump series TRH, TRM, TRV when operating at 80 mbar and pump series TRS when
operating at 250 mbar with motor at 50 Hz operating speed.
The values can change depending on the installed motor. Contact POMPETRAVAINI for further information.
The class of vibration level (values rms mm/s) show the limit values for the continuous working of the pump if properly
installed. For higher values it needs to proceed with maintenance of the pump following the table below.

- Weights are for pumps fitted with Mechanical Seals and in Cast Iron materials (tolerance ± 10%).
- The assemblies (Monoblock and with Baseplate) are suitable for 50 Hz motors, except where otherwise noted.
Indicated total weights for the assemblies are without motors.
- The installed motor size cover the whole performance curve when operating as vacuum pump.
- The electric motors over the frame size 315 M are not unified.
- For exact weights refer to the specific motor manufacturer data.

In order to have approximate values of the noise level for tha pump-motor assembly the sound power level of the motor
and the pump can be added. The following table shows some values of the motor noise level. The addition has to be
calculated using the diagram below.
In order to get the total sound power level it is necessary to calculate the difference between the pump and motor noise
level; by that value calculate, from the following diagram, the increment that will have to be added to the higher value of
the power sound level. Ex: motor 80 dB and pump 75 dB, level difference 5 dB, increment 1.2 dB, total power sound
level 81.2 dB. Taking into account that the noise level depends on several factors, contact POMPETRAVAINI to know
more accurate values.

8 - MOUNTING AND ALIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER!
Danger of collision, harm and crushing! Do not start up the pump without the needful guards on both coupling
and motor. The coupling procedures must be carried out when the pump is stopped, after having activated the
safety procedures to prevent an accidental start-up (also see chapter 2). Operate provided with apposite
protective devices (helmet, glasses, gloves, shoes, etc.).

8.1 - ASSEMBLY OF BASE MOUNTED PUMP UNIT


If the pump has been purchased with free shaft end, a proper baseplate is required to mount the pump/motor assembly.
The baseplate must be properly designed for maximum rigidity to prevent vibrations and distortions. It is recommended
the use of a fabricated baseplate manufactured with rigid “U” shaped channel (fig. 5 illustrates an example).
When the pump has been purchased without the electric motor, it is then required to select the proper motor before
proceeding to the installation of the unit. Selection of motor must consider the following:
- maximum power absorbed by the pump over the total operating range
- pump operating speed (RPM)
- available power (Hertz, voltage, etc.)
- motor enclosure type (CVE, ATEX, etc.)
- motor mount (B3, B5, horizontal, vertical, C-flange, D-flange, etc.).

Flexible couplings are selected considering:


- nominal motor horsepower
- motor operating speed
- coupling guard must meet safety standards
- possible pump damaging.

i Flexible couplings must be properly aligned. Bad alignments will result in coupling failures and damage to
pump and motor bearings.

Assembly instructions for MONOBLOCK design are listed on paragraph 8.3 steps 1, 2, 4, 5, 6.
Assembly instructions for PUMP-MOTOR ON BASEPLATE are listed on paragraph 8.3 steps 7, 1, 8, 5, 9, 10, 11.
For pump driven with V-Belt, please consult POMPETRAVAINI for possible information.

8.2 - ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES FOR MONOBLOCK AND FOR PUMP/MOTOR ASSEMBLY ON BASEPLATE.
The pump/motor assembly is properly aligned by POMPETRAVAINI prior to shipment.
It is however required to verify the alignment prior to the start-up. Misalignment can occur during handling,
transportation, grouting of assembly, etc.
For alignment procedures of MONOBLOCK design see paragraph 8.3 steps 1, 2. 4, 5, 6.
For alignment procedure of BASEPLATE design see paragraph 8.3 steps 7, 1, 8, 5, 9, 10, 11.

PLEASE NOTE: Coupling sizes and permissible coupling tolerances listed in this manual are applicable to the
particular coupling brand installed by POMPETRAVAINI as a standard. For sizes and tolerances of
other type of couplings, follow the instructions given by their respective manufacturer.

8.3 - ALIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS


Alignment should be done at ambient temperature, obviously with power to the motor disconnected and following the
safety procedures to avoid accidental starting (see chapter 2).
Do not try to force the fitting of the coupling onto the shaft. First remove the elastomeric dowels and then heat up the
half coupling up to 150°C (do not use microwave ovens).
Should the pump operate at high temperatures that could upset the coupling alignment, it is necessary to check the
alignment to secure proper working operation at such operating temperatures.
It is recommended the use of proper hand protections such as gloves, when carrying out the operations listed below
(schematics for various assemblies are shown).

NOTE: The following points must be followed with the sequence stated above and depending upon the type of
operation: alignment assembly or alignment verification.

1 - Thoroughly clean motor/pump shaft ends and shaft keys, place the shaft keys in the proper key way slots and fit the
coupling halves in line with the shaft ends. The use of rubber hammers and even pre-heating of the metal half
couplings may be required (see fig. 18).
Lightly tighten the set screws. Verify that both pump and motor shafts rotate freely.

2 - Insert the perforated metal sheet coupling guard inside the lantern so that the coupling is accessible from one of the
lateral openings. Couple the electric motor to the pump lantern engaging the two coupling halves, hands may reach
the coupling halves through the lateral opening (see fig. 20) tighten the assembly with bolts supplied with the unit and
install the supporting foot, when applicable (see fig. 19). When tightening the connecting screws between lantern and
motor make sure not to force the two half-couplings until they touch each other. If this occurs remove the motor,
axially move the half-coupling on the shaft and repeat the fixing procedure.

3 - Applying slight hand pressure to the coupling guard, rotate it so that one opening of the lantern is accessible (see fig. 21).
4 - Rotate by hand the coupling through the lateral opening of the lantern to make sure the pump is free.
5 - With a feeler gauge, check the distance between the two coupling halves. The gap value "S" should be as listed on
table 2 or as given by the coupling manufacturer.
In the event an adjustment is necessary, loosen the set screws on the coupling half and with a screw driver move the
coupling half to attain the gap "S" (see fig. 25). Then tighten the set screw and rotate the rotor by hand to make sure,
once more, that there is no obstruction.
6 - Rotate back the coupling guard by hand through the two openings of the lantern so that both openings are completely
covered. This will complete the alignment verification of the MONOBLOCK design.
7 - Remove the coupling guard and its extension (if there is one) attached to the pump, by removing the two locking
screws (see fig. 22 and 23).

8 - Place the electric motor on the baseplate and bring the two coupling halves together with approx. 2 mm gap between
them keeping the motor axially aligned with the pump shaft. In the event the two shaft heights do not align, proper
shimming under the pump or motor feet will be required. Mark the motor and/or pump anchoring bolt holes. Remove
motor and/or pump, drill and tap the holes, clean and mount pump and/or motor in place and lightly tighten the bolts
(see fig. 24).

If the maximum value of "X" is higher than that listed in the tab. 2 (for the given coupling size) it will be required to
correct the alignment by using shims under the pump or motor feet.
When the measured values fall within the tolerances, the pump and motor mounting bolts can be tightened.

10 - Angular misalignment can be measured with a Calliper. Measure the outside coupling dimension at several points
(see fig. 27).
Operating manual liquid ring vacuum pumps and compressors series TRH - TRS - TRM - TRV - SA & Systems type HYDROSYS - OILSYS 25
Find the minimum and maximum width of the coupling, the difference between these two readings "Y" (Y1-Y2)
should no exceed the value listed in tab. 2 for the given coupling size. Should this value be greater it will be
necessary to correct the alignment by shimming the pump and/or motor.
Following this operation it is recommended to check once more the value "X" to make sure that both values are
within the allowed tolerance (see point 9). Make sure that both set screws on the coupling halves are properly
secured.

9 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

DANGER!
Electric danger. Electrical connections must be made exclusively by qualified personnel in accordance with the
instructions from the manufacturer of the motor or other electrical components and must adhere to the local
National Electrical Code. Always ground the motor verifying it is properly wired. It is advisable to have an
electrical switch near the pump for emergency situations.
FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AS LISTED IN CHAPTER 2.
BEFORE DOING ANY WORK TO THE INSTALLATION DISCONNECT ALL POWER SUPPLIES

All electric motors and possible connected accessories must be protected against overloading by means of
circuit breakers and/or fuses. Circuit breakers and fuses must be sized in accordance with the full load
i amperage appearing on the motor nameplate.
It is recommended that motors over 5.5 kW be wired for Star-Delta start-up, to avoid electrical overloads to the
motor and mechanical overloads to the pump.

It is advisable to have an electrical switch near the pump for emergency situations.
Be sure to replace all safety guards before switching on the electrical power.

Prior to connecting the electrical wiring, turn the pump shaft by hand to make sure that it rotates freely.
Connect the electrical wiring in accordance with local electrical codes and be sure to ground the motor.
Motor connection should be as indicated on the motor tag (frequency and voltage) and as discussed in the motor
instruction manual.

If possible check the direction of rotation before the motor is coupled to the pump but protect the motor shaft to prevent
any accidents. When this is not possible briefly jog the pump to check its direction of rotation(see arrow on pump for
correct rotation). If the direction must be changed 2 of the 3 electrical wire leads must be alternated with each other (at
the terminal box or at the motor starter).
Please be aware that rotation in the wrong direction and/or pump running dry may cause severe pump damage.
Electrical instrumentation such as solenoid valves, level switches, temperature switches, etc. which are supplied with the
pump or systems must be connected and handled in accordance with the instructions supplied by their respective
manufacturers.

26 Operating manual liquid ring vacuum pumps and compressors series TRH - TRS - TRM - TRV - SA & Systems type HYDROSYS - OILSYS
10 - CHECK LIST PRIOR TO START-UP

If the installed pump is designated to be used in environments subjected to the application of the ATEX
99/92/CE directive but does not show the wording “ATEX” on the name plate, and the integrative ATEX
manual hasn't been received or undelivered, it strictly forbidden proceed to start up the pumps but necessary
to consult POMPETRAVAINI for clarifications.

CAUTION!
All questions listed below must have POSITIVE answers prior to proceeding to the pump start-up (the following
list may not be complete for special installations which may require further precautions as the cases dictate).
- Is this manual entirely read and understood?

i
- Are all the safety protections in order?
- Are the electrical connections properly wired, grounded and protected?
- Is the position of the pump switch-off button evident, accessible and clear?
- The piping system has been flushed of any foreign particles, welding impurities, etc.?
- Have all piping and pump obstruction been removed?
- All connections and piping are leak proof and there are no external forces or moments applied to the piping or pump
flanges?
- Pump and motor are properly lubricated, if required?
- Pump/motor alignment has been checked?
- If mechanical seal requires flushing has this been connected?
- All valves in the installation are in the correct position?
- Has this pump’s direction of rotation been checked by jogging the motor?
- Are pump and installation ready for start-up?

11 - STARTING, OPERATING AND STOPPING PROCEDURES

Upon receipt and/or completion of installation, before turning on the power to the electric motor, rotate the pump shaft by
hand to make sure that the pump rotor is free. In the event the shaft does not turn, try to free it up by applying a torque
to the pump coupling with a pipe wrench. To free the rotor of a monoblock style pump (without coupling) introduce a bolt
(or similar tool) at the motor shaft end that has a threaded connection and apply the torque by hand.
In the event the pump does not become free with the above procedures, fill up the pump with a suitable solvent or
lubricating liquid, let it rest for several hours to allow softening of the rust build-up inside the pump, drain the pump and
apply torque to the pump shaft as described above to finally free the rotor.

i The selected solvent or lubricating fluid must be compatible with the pump, seals and gasketing materials.

New pumps from the factory and pumps coming from long term storage are likely impregnated with a rust preventative
liquid; before the start-up, these pumps should be subjected to fresh water rinsing for approximately 15 minutes.
The obtained liquid-water mixture must be collected and, according to the environmental disposal regulations, treated as
special liquid.

Dispose the waste liquids according to the current regulations protecting the environment.

CHECK PUMP-MOTOR COUPLING ALIGNMENT!


i This must be done prior to the first start-up and before every start-up if pump or motor has been removed from
the installation for maintenance or other reasons. See chapter 8.2.

Prior to starting the pump verify that all auxiliary components are available, ready for use and, where required, they are
in the open position (i.e.: double mechanical seals are pressurised with buffer liquid, cooling liquid to heat exchanger is
open, etc.) and the pump bearings are lubricated.
If the gas and/or service liquid temperatures are in the dangerous levels, it is recommended to insulate the pump, piping
and separator to avoid direct contact with their surface, avoid freezing, thermal shock or loosing heat energy.
NOTE: See chapters 11.4 to 11.6 for OILSYS systems start-up, operation and shut-down.

11.1 - START-UP
(In the following, reference is made to certain ITEM numbers which appear on fig. 6 to 11 of chapters 7 and 18).
Open valve at gas discharge if installed and partially open the valve at the suction side.
When operating the pump as compressor there must be a check valve ITEM 2 fitted at the discharge side.
When pump ITEM 4 is fitted in a partial recovery or total recovery or HYDROSYS systems, as built by
POMPETRAVAINI, it is required to have drain valve ITEM 11 at separator ITEM 1 in the closed position, flow regulating
valve ITEM 13 and overflow valve ITEM 24 in the open positions. Separator overflow valve ITEM 24 should be piped to

Operating manual liquid ring vacuum pumps and compressors series TRH - TRS - TRM - TRV - SA & Systems type HYDROSYS - OILSYS 27
drain (or collecting container). Before start-up fill the pump to the shaft centreline, separator and piping of system with
service liquid through pump inlet flange or fill connection ITEM 28. Check all components for leakage.
If the automatic drain valve ITEM 48 is installed, the overflow valve ITEM 24 must be closed after the filling.

CAUTION!
Possible contact with hazardous media, cold or warm, and pump surfaces, cold or warm.
During the following operations it is particularly important to avoid contact and/or inhale of possible spilled
liquid (vapour): therefore all safety precautions must be taken. Operate only provided with apposite protective
devices.

Start all accessories (temperature switches, level switches, pressure switches, etc.) open cooling and flushing lines.
Start the pump and open the service liquid valve ITEM 3 (if applicable), soon after start the circulating pump ITEM 22 (if
applicable) and adjust the service liquid flow (see tab. 3).
Gradually open the valve at gas suction side till the required vacuum level is reached.
Check the system for abnormal conditions (see chapters 12 and 14).
If the system is fitted with a circulating pump and/or the service liquid has an excessive pressure the by-pass valve ITEM
13A (if available) or valve ITEM 13 can be adjusted to reduce the service liquid flow to the vacuum pump and/or
optimise the thermodynamic efficiency of the heat exchanger ITEM 9.
NOTE: HYDROSYS systems engineered with multiple pumps are fitted with isolating valves at suction, discharge, and
service liquid lines of each pump. When one or more pumps are not operating it is required to isolate the idle
pump(s) by closing these valves. When the pumps are put back into service the said valves (at suction and
discharge) must be opened.

11.2 - OPERATION
After starting the vacuum pump check the following:
- the vacuum level is as desired or adjust the flow regulating valve to the required vacuum
- flow and temperature of service liquid and/or cooling liquid are as expected (within 25% tolerance)
- motor does not draw more amperage than shown on its nameplate
- the pump-motor assembly does not have abnormal vibrations and noises such as cavitation
- there are no leaks from mechanical seals, joints and flushing or cooling liquid lines
- liquid level in separator is between the minimum and the maximum.
- the operating temperature at full load, does not exceed approximately 85°C

i CAUTION!
Never run the pump dry.

CAUTION!
Possible contact with warm surfaces. Operate only provided with apposite protective devices.

If the gas discharge is not open to the immediate atmosphere but it is piped to other locations, the pump discharge
should be checked for back-pressures that could cause higher power consumption and loss of pump capacity.

11.3 - SHUT DOWN


DANGER!
Danger due to collision, crushing or harm. Wait for the complete pump stopping before handling the unit.
Take precautionary measures by draining the pump or closing the pipes by mean of a valve. Operate only
provided with apposite protective devices.

First close the service liquid flow and cooling liquid flow (if applicable) then shut down the circulating pump ITEM 22 (if
there is one).
Where possible, gradually decrease the vacuum level to 400/900 mbar in about 10 seconds max or, if compressor,
decrease the discharge pressure. The discharged service liquid from pump ITEM 4 helps producing a slow deceleration
rather than sadden stop.
Turn off the power to motor ITEM 6 and close any accessories and flushing lines.
Make sure the non return valves ITEM 2, or similar, at suction and discharge lines are leak tight.
Should the system be idle for an extended period of time it is recommended to disconnect the electricity to the motor
panel, drain all liquids from pump, separator and piping. Refer to chapter 6 for storage procedures.

11.4 - START UP OF “OILSYS” SYSTEMS


CAUTION!
Possible contact with warm media and warm surfaces. Operate only provided with apposite protective devices.

(In the following, reference is made to certain ITEM numbers which are listed in the figures and legend of chapters 12.1
and 19).
Open the valve at the gas discharge, if applicable, and partially close the valve at the suction side.
Close draining valve ITEM 11 and valves for condensate recovery ITEMS 13F and 13L which are on the frame separator
ITEM 1B; open the valve ITEM 13D which is between the circulating pump ITEM 22 and the frame separator ITEM 1B,

28 Operating manual liquid ring vacuum pumps and compressors series TRH - TRS - TRM - TRV - SA & Systems type HYDROSYS - OILSYS
then partially open flow regulating valve ITEM 13 between the discharge of circulating pump ITEM 22 and the heat
exchanger ITEM 9 and the by-pass valve ITEM 13A.
If the system is fitted with a separator cyclone ITEM 1D and the adjacent collecting tank ITEM 1E, it is required to close
valves ITEM 11A and 12 and open valve ITEM 13E.
Fill frame separator with service oil through the filling plug ITEM 28. Proper oil level can be seen on sight glass ITEM 7.
Refer to tab. 12 and 13 for the required oil quantity.
Start and/or open applicable accessories (temperature switches, level switches, etc.) and circuitry for cooling and
flushing.
Start vacuum pump ITEM 4 and soon after start the circulating pump ITEM 22. Adjust the circulating pump capacity with
valve ITEM 13.
Gradually open the system suction valve till the desired vacuum is achieved. Check the systems for abnormal noises or
vibrations (see chapters 12 and 14).
Adjust by-pass valve ITEM 13A to regulate the oil flow to the vacuum pump or to improve the thermodynamic efficiency
of the heat exchanger.
NOTE: OILSYS systems engineered with multiple pumps are fitted with isolating valves at suction, discharge, and
service liquid lines of each pump. When one or more pumps are not operating it is required to isolate the idle
pump(s) by closing these valves. When the pumps are put back into service the said valves (at suction and
discharge) must be opened.

11.5 - OPERATION OF “OILSYS” SYSTEMS


After starting the vacuum pump check the following:
- the vacuum level is as desired or adjust the flow regulating valve to the required vacuum
- the oil temperature is between 60 and 80°C. If required, adjust the thermostat on the radiator or in case of water/oil
heat exchanger adjust the cooling water flow
- motor does not draw more amperage than shown on its nameplate
- the pump-motor assembly does not have abnormal vibrations or noises such as cavitation
- the frame temperature at full load, does not exceed approximately 85°C
- that there are no leaks from mechanical seals, joints, flushing or cooling liquid lines
- liquid level in separator and frame is between the minimum and the maximum
- the pressure gauge of the oil demister separator does not read more than 0,3 bar. When this value is exceeded it will
be required to change the filter element.
If the gas discharge is not open to the immediate atmosphere but it is piped to other locations, the pump discharge
should be checked for back-pressures that could cause higher power consumption and loss of pump capacity.

11.6 - SHUT DOWN OF “OILSYS” SYSTEMS


Close, if applicable, the cooling water to the water/oil heat exchanger ITEM 9, then turn off the power to the circulating
pump ITEM 22.
Where possible, gradually decrease the vacuum level to 400/900 mbar in about 10 seconds max. The discharged
service liquid from pump ITEM 4 helps producing a slow deceleration rather than sadden stop.
Turn off motor ITEM 6, radiator ITEM 9 and any accessories and flushing circuitry.
Make sure the non return valves ITEM 2, or similar, at suction and discharge lines are leak tight.
Should the system be idle for an extended period of time it is recommended to disconnect the electricity to the motor
panel, drain all liquids from pump, separator and piping. Refer to chapter 6 for storage procedures.

12 - OPERATING MAINTENANCE

Periodically check the working conditions of the system by means of the instrumentation on the installation (pressure
gauges, vacuum gauges, temperature gauges, ampmeters, etc.) and if the pump is consistently handling the application
for which it was selected.
The operation of the pump should be without abnormal vibrations or noises, if any of these problems is noticed, the
pump should be stopped immediately, search for the cause and make the necessary corrections.
It is good practice to check the pump/motor alignment, the running conditions of the bearings and of the mechanical
seals (see chapter 13) at least once a year, even if no abnormalities have been noticed.
If there is a deterioration of the pump performance, which is not attributable to changes in system demands, the pump
must be stopped and proceed with necessary repairs or replacement.

If the mechanical seals are fitted with external flushing and/or quenching lines their pressures, temperatures and flows
must be checked constantly.

If during operation the pump seems to run irregularly, because of noise or vibrations, it is necessary to stop the
i unit and investigate the causes of the malfunctioning (see chapter 16).
NEVER ALLOW THE PUMP TO OPERATE IN THE CAVITATION AREA!

Cavitation has the characteristic metallic sound, like if gravel was rotating inside the pump, and it causes also high pump
vibrations. This happens when the pump is running at absolute pressures close to the vapour tension of the service
liquid at the running conditions.
Operating manual liquid ring vacuum pumps and compressors series TRH - TRS - TRM - TRV - SA & Systems type HYDROSYS - OILSYS 29
This is a damaging condition for the impellers, port plates and casings. The cavitation causes erosion taking away metal
particles and attacking the surface of the pump components. This is particularly damaging if the pump is handling
corrosive gases, see chapter 14 for suggestions to correct the problem.
Pump series TRH, TRM and TRV are designed for the application of an anti-cavitation valve that should be left open (if
required) see fig. 12 and 13 for the location. This valve should be connected toward the upper part of the discharge
separator so that, depending upon the operating vacuum, the pump can either take air or discharge excessive liquid.
For OILSYS systems the anti-cavitation valve ITEM 13H is piped from pump ITEM 4 to the frame separator ITEM 1B.

During operation it must be avoided to have sudden and frequent variations from high to low vacuum. (e.g.: suddenly
opening the suction valve when the pump is operating at pressures lower than 200 mbar).
This would flood the pump creating high power absorption that would put heavy stress on the motor and coupling.

Particular attention should be put on the quantity of the service liquid flow. The flow will depend upon the type of
installation (see chapter 9), the pump size, and/or the desired temperature rise.
The flow of service water at 15°C, for standard pumps and normal operating conditions at various vacuum levels, is
listed on the specific pump curves and/or on tab. 3 of chapter 9.7.
°C
Usually the temperature rise of service water, when handling dry air at 20 , is approximately 4°C.
When condensable (e.g.: vapours) are present in the gas stream the heat load to be removed by the service water will
be higher, therefore the service water temperature rise will be higher.
The service liquid flow and its temperature will affect the pump performance.
Generally the low service liquid flow will decrease the pump capacity, while a high service liquid flow will increase the
absorbed power by flooding the pump (see chapter 17 for information and calculations).
Hard service water will generate lime build-up inside the pump. The severity of the deposit will vary with the water
temperature. Lime or mineral deposits on the surface of the internal pump components will cause an increase of
absorbed power, wear of the components and possiblely will seize the pump.
It is recommended to monitor the water hardness and, if too high (>18°F), treat the water. If there are no alternatives,
there should be periodical flushing of the pump with a solution that will remove the specific deposits, or the pump must
be periodically disassembled, cleaned of all incrustations and re-assembled.
Systems with total service liquid recovery require periodical change of the service liquid contained in the closed loop.
The heat exchanger must be kept well cleaned of all mineral deposits for an effective thermodynamic heat exchange.
During operation, a closed loop system will loose some of the service liquid, due to evaporation and/or saturation of the
discharged gases. It will be required to periodically make-up fresh liquid into the system.
This operation is not required for those systems that are fitted with a float type automatic make-up valve ITEM 8. This
valve requires water at a pressure of approximately 2 bar.
Systems that handle condensable will experience a rise in the level of the service liquid in the separator. The excessive
liquid will be overflowed through the overflow valve or connection.

If the specific gravity of the condensable is higher than that of the service liquid, the condensable must be discharged
through the separator drain valve ITEM 11, preferably with system not running.

12.1 - “OILSYS” SYSTEMS


CAUTION!
Possible contact with warm media and warm surfaces. Operate only provided with apposite protective devices.

(For ITEM numbers refer to fig. 29 and legend of chapter 19).


In case of systems OILSYS series, as service liquid, mineral oil is used which, if dropped on the ground, is
greatly polluting and dangerous for the environment: therefore high and constant care to possible leaks and, if
the case, provide immediately to dispose the leaks in conformity with the laws into force.
It is very important to keep the service oil temperature under control; when the oil temperature exceeds 90°C there is the
danger of seizing the pump and the gasketing may start leaking.
Every 100/200 working hours it is suggested to check the oil level in the frame reservoir ITEM 1B, make-up oil if
necessary and change the oil every 4000/6000 working hours (depending upon the use and the application): take care
of its possible disposal according to the laws into force and to a safe local environment management.
Those installations where the handled gases are contaminated with dust or suspended solids that can alter the oil
characteristics will require more frequent oil check and changes.
The frame is fitted with two inspection ports ITEM 43 which can be used for cleaning the frame reservoir after it has
been drained of all the oil.
Condensable, if present during evacuation, can be flushed right through the discharge of the separator (if they have low
boiling point) or, when the system is idle, can be drained by opening valves ITEM 13F and/or 13L.
During the service, the oil demister filter will be impregnated with oil particles; the pressure gauge ITEM 14 installed at
the housing ITEM 1C will provide an indication of the filter being plugged; pressure reading over 0.3 bar is an indication
that the filter needs replacement.
At higher discharge pressures the discharged air quality will decrease and the vacuum pump absorbed power will
increase.
The oil separated by the filter is accumulated at the bottom of the filter cartridge.
To remove this oil there is a scavenger line with a regulating valve ITEM 13G that is connected to the vacuum pump
suction flange. It is recommended to keep this valve ITEM 13G minimally opened.

30 Operating manual liquid ring vacuum pumps and compressors series TRH - TRS - TRM - TRV - SA & Systems type HYDROSYS - OILSYS
To replace the oil demister filter, simply disconnect the oil 1C 14 13G 1D 1B
scavenger line, remove the cover ITEM 1C, remove the used
filter element.

Dispose the waste grease according to the current


regulations protecting the environment.

Apply a liquid gasketing material over the 2 gasket faces of


the new filter and place the latter in the housing, put in place
the cover and the scavenger line.
For systems with separator cyclone ITEM 1D and recovery
tank ITEM 1E it is required to periodically remove the
accumulated materials.
For this operation close the valve ITEM 13E between the
cyclone and the reservoir, open the vent valve ITEM 12
situated at the upper part of the separator, open the reservoir
drain valve ITEM 11A to discharge the collected materials.
After the cleaning operation, return to the original position by
reverting the above steps. 11A 13C 1E 12 13E 13F 43
It is possible to by-pass the service liquid circulating pump by
closing the suction and discharge valves and opening the Fig. 29 (General schematic drawing)
valve ITEM 13C in the by-pass line.
This will connect the frame reservoir directly with the heat exchanger.

13 - BEARINGS AND MECHANICAL SEALS MAINTENANCE

DANGER!
Danger due to collision, crushing or harm. Wait for the complete pump stopping before handling the unit. If the
pump still contains some fluid it may suddenly start to rotate once again. Take precautionary measures by
draining the pump or closing the pipes by mean of a valve. Possible contact with high temperature surfaces,
wait for the pump cooling. Maintenance must be absolutely carried out when the pump is at a standstill,
disconnecting the power supply and any other connection. Please make sure that the power supply is restored
only by the operator making the maintenance. It is necessary the presence of at least two operators and a
foreman must be aware there is a maintenance in progress.
Operate only provided with apposite protective devices.
FOLLOW THE SAFETY STANDARDS LISTED IN CHAPTER 2.

13.1 - BEARINGS
During assembly the bearings are already lubricated with high quality grease with working temperature limits -30°C
+140°C (for pumps type TRHA 150 and TRSA 200 the working temperature limits are -20°C +180°C).
The bearings used in a pump normal operating conditions must be carefully cleaned and newly greased after
approximately 2000/2500 working hours using a good lubricating grease quality (see tab. 9 for the quantity required and
check the “Disassembly & assembly instructions” for the lubricating grease replacement).

Dispose the waste grease according to the current regulations protecting the environment.

The sealed pre-greased never need lubrication, but must anyway controlled after 2000/2500 working hours.
Bearing temperature should not exceed the 85°C during normal working conditions and normal environments.
Bearings can overheat for reasons such as too much grease, misalignment of flexible coupling, wrong bearings,
excessive vibrations, bearing wear. See tab. 9 for bearing numbers and type used for each pump.

13.2 - MECHANICAL SEALS


Mechanical seals can be with many types of materials, design and SPRING GASKET (RUBBER BELLOWS)
installations (see fig. 30). ROTATING PART
Their selection has been evaluated by POMPETRAVAINI at the time
GASKET (O-RING)
of pump design, in function of the fluid and working conditions. STATIONARY PART
The seals are supplied with the proper flow of liquid for their
lubrication, through internal pump passages. Upon request, the pump
can be provided with seal lubrication coming from an outside source;
the set-up must be such that the seals are guaranteed the liquid
quantity and pressure as recommended by POMPETRAVAINI or by
the seal manufacturer.
For mechanical seal shaft size see tab. 9.
STATIONARY PART
Mechanical seals normally fitted in the vacuum pumps are to DIN
24960 standards. See “Disassembly & Assembly Instructions” for
major seal dimensions.
Normally mechanical seals do not require maintenance until there is a RETAINING ROTATING PART
visible liquid loss (leakage). See “Disassembly & Assembly RING
Instructions” for seal replacement. Fig. 30

i Mechanical seals MUST NOT run dry!

When seals are operated without lubricant and/or flushing liquid their faces and the elastomers may suffer damages
beyond repair. It is suggested to check the conditions of the seal faces every approximately 4000 working hours.

Take particular care of possible mechanical seals leaks of the pumped medium that, due to its characteristics,
might be dangerous for the environment.

15 - REPAIRING AND REMOVING PUMP FROM THE INSTALLATION

Should there be the need for pump repair a knowledge of the specific “Disassembly and Assembly Instructions” is
required.

DANGER!
Danger due to collision, crushing or harm. Wait for the complete pump stopping before handling the unit. If the
pump still contains some fluid it may suddenly start to rotate once again. Take precautionary measures by
draining the pump or closing the pipes by mean of a valve. Possible contact with high temperature surfaces,
wait for the pump cooling. Maintenance must be absolutely carried out when the pump is at a standstill,
disconnecting the power supply and any other connection. Please make sure that the power supply is restored
only by the operator making the maintenance. It is necessary the presence of at least two operators and a
foreman must be aware there is a maintenance in progress.
Operate only provided with apposite protective devices.
FOLLOW THE SAFETY STANDARDS LISTED IN CHAPTER 2.

Before working on the pump it is important to:


- procure and wear the proper safety equipment (hard hat, safety glasses, gloves, safety shoes, etc.)
- disconnect the electrical power supply and, if required, disconnect the electrical cable from the motor
- close the isolating valves at pump inlet, outlet and service liquid
- let the pump cool down to ambient temperature if it has been handling hot fluids
- adopt safety measures if the pump has been handling hazardous liquids
- drain the pump internals of the pumped liquid through the draining connections, if necessary rinse with neutral liquid.

To remove the pump and the motor from the installation proceed as follows:
- remove bolts from pump suction and discharge flanges
- remove the coupling guard
- remove the spacer of the coupling, if there is one
- if required, remove the motor anchor bolts on the baseplate, for base mounted assembly, or the bolts on the adapter
flange in the case of monoblock design
- remove the pump anchor bolts on the baseplate
- remove the pump from the installation. Avoid damaging other system components.

Before returning the pump to POMPETRAVAINI or an authorized service decontaminate the pump and ask for the
“handled media” examination form.

In case of pump removal from the installation dispose the unit by following the current regulations and the right
measures to protect the environment.

After pump repairs, re-install following the steps from "Assembly and Alignment" procedures and after (see the
applicable chapters).

16 - SPARE PARTS

When ordering the pump it is good practice to also order the necessary spare parts, especially when there are no stand-
by pumps in the installation. This will minimise unnecessary down times in the event of pump failure or routine
maintenance.
It is therefore, recommended to stock the following spare parts for each pump size:

1 Impeller set
1 Complete shaft assembly
1 Bearing set
1 Mechanical seal set (or packing set)
1 Gasket sets
1 Radial seal ring set
1 Bearing spacer set
1 Coupling rubber insert set

For better parts management, the VDMA 24296 standards suggest to stock the number of parts as a function of the
number of pumps being used in the plant.
On the pump nameplate are printed pump model, year of manufacture and pump serial number. When ordering spare

17.1 - INFLUENCE OF SERVICE LIQUID TEMPERATURE, SPECIFIC GRAVITY AND VISCOSITY ON PUMP
PERFORMANCE
The performance of liquid ring vacuum pumps is based on the use of water at 15°C as service liquid. With water at
different temperatures the pump capacity and the maximum attainable vacuum level will vary in function of the type of
pump, as illustrated by the curve sets of fig. 31 and 32.
3
EXAMPLE: Pressure = 60 mbar - Water temperature = 24°C - Pump series TRH - Capacity (15°C water) = 120 m /h
From curves of fig. 32 we find the correcting factor of 0,80, therefore the actual capacity for the pump at the
3
given conditions will be: 120 x 0,80 = 96 m /h.
The maximum suction pressure before incurring cavitation will be approximately 45 mbar.

Regarding the performance variation due to changes of specific gravity and viscosity, it can be assumed a proportional
variation in power consumption however, the changes in capacity at different pressures must be analysed case by case.
Please refer the conditions to POMPETRAVAINI when these corrections are needed.

17.2 - SERVICE LIQUID TEMPERATURE CHANGE ACROSS THE PUMP
The service liquid of a liquid ring pump absorbs total heat QT as follows:

QT (kJ/h) = Qc + QK + QR
Where:
QC = 0,9 x P x 3600 = Isothermal compression heat
QK = mV x r = Condensation heat
QR = mg x cp x ΔTa = Cooling heat (Generally negligible, ignored in calculation of QT)

mv = mass condensed incoming vapour in kg/h


mg = mass incoming gas in kg/h
P = absorbed power at operating point in kW
cP = gas specific heat in kJ/Kg x K
r = heat of vaporisation in kJ/Kg
ΔT a = differential temperature in K, between incoming gas TG and service liquid discharge temperature (T2 + ΔT)
K = Kelvin temperature

Once the QT is known it is possible to calculate the differential temperature ΔT of the pump service liquid:
QT
ΔT =
QA ⋅ ρ ⋅ cp
Where:
QT = total heat load before calculated in kJ/h
3
QA = pump service liquid flow in m /h
3
ρ = service liquid density in kg/m (water = 1000)
cP = service liquid specific heat in kJ/kg x K
(Some values for cP: Water = 4,2 - Air = 1,0 - Water Vapour = 1,84)
NOTE: It can be assumed that the discharge gas and service liquid have same temperature.

17.3 - OPERATION WITH PARTIAL RECOVERY OF SERVICE LIQUID


Where the working conditions will allow it, the service liquid temperature can be increased utilising a smaller quantity of
fresh liquid from an outside source. A similar flow as the make-up is discharged to the drain while the balance of liquid
required by the pump is recirculated. In these cases the service liquid working temperature rises and the pump capacity
will require correction per curves of fig. 31 and 32. The system installation will be similar to the schematic of fig. 33.
Depending upon the affordable loss of capacity the service liquid temperature T2 may be set and the make-up flow of
fresh liquid QF can then be calculated:

(
QF m 3 h = ) Q A ⋅ ΔT
T2 − T1 + ΔT ~T2+ΔT
where:
3
QF = Fresh make-up flow from outside source in m /h
QA = Total service liquid flow required for the operating
3
conditions in m /h QF
T2+ΔT
ΔT = Service liquid temperature rise (see chapter 17.2)
T2 = Service liquid temperature to pump TG
T1 = Temperature of make-up liquid Recirculation
line
The fig. 33 indicates a generic schematic of a liquid ring kW
vacuum pump in a partial recovery system.
By closing the recirculation line the system would become a QA-QF
“once through” installation where all the service liquid is
drained, therefore:
QF,T1
QA,T2
QA = QF and T2 = T1 Fig. 33

18 - ENGINEERING DATA FOR “HYDROSYS” SYSTEMS

WORKING PRINCIPLE
The HYDROSYS packages main components are: a liquid ring vacuum pump ITEM 4 from series TRH, TRS, TRM,
TRV, an air/liquid separator reservoir ITEM 1, a heat exchanger ITEM 9, all mounted on a common and compact frame
ITEM 30. When working, the vacuum pump discharges from the discharge port the gas handled with a portion of the
liquid from the pump internal liquid ring. This liquid must be continuously returned to the pump.
The gas/liquid mixture is separated in a cylindrical tank
(separator), the gas is vented through the top mounted (General schematic drawings)
discharge flange of the separator and the liquid is collected
1
at the bottom of the separator ready to be returned to the 28
vacuum pump.
During the suction and compression cycle of the vacuum 8
pump, all the energy is transformed into heat energy and 6 4
almost all of it is absorbed by the service liquid. Therefore 7
the liquid must be cooled prior to be returned to the pump,
either with a heat exchanger (total recovery system) or with
the addition of cool make-up liquid (partial recovery system).
The TOTAL RECOVERY system (see fig. 34 and legend on
following page) does not require an appreciable flow of 24
make-up from an external source but only the necessary
amount to compensate for the liquid lost due to evaporation,
with the discharged gases.
The heat exchanger sizing should be based on using a
minimum amount of cooling liquid (usually water) to keep the
service liquid at the ideal temperature for the best efficiency 30 9 33 13 22 27 11
of the vacuum pump. Remember, the higher the
temperature of the service liquid the higher the losses in Fig. 34 - TOTAL RECOVERY system
pump capacity and maximum vacuum, see chapter 17.
This system is particular suitable where the service liquid
and the condensed gases cannot be discharged to the
environment, either for pollution reasons or because the
fluids are too valuable.
The PARTIAL RECOVERY system (see fig. 35 and legend
on following page) requires a constant flow of cold make-up
liquid from an external source. This liquid must be of the
same nature as the service liquid being used by the pump.
The mixture of the make-up and the service liquid being
discharged by the pump, will have a constant temperature 13
when enters the vacuum pump service liquid connection.
The same amount of service liquid taken from the outside Fig. 35 - PARTIAL RECOVERY system
source must be overflowed through the separator overflow
connection situated at the pump shaft centreline.
This system is utilised in many applications for conditions where there is intermittent use, or low vacuum levels, or there
is no danger of pollution and the liquid can easily be drained.
Furthermore this may prove to be the only alternative to the total recovery system for those installations where the
cooling liquid is not available or it is too warm.
Numerous accessories are available to meet the customers' requests and suitable for the installation, process and
maintenance.

WORKING PRINCIPLE
OILSYS packages main components are: a liquid ring vacuum pump ITEM 4 from series TRH, TRS, TRM, TRV, an
air/liquid separator reservoir ITEM 1B which is also a self-contained frame, a heat exchanger ITEM 9 and an oil demister
filter ITEM 1C.

flange. The circulator pump ITEM 22 pumps the oil back to the
vacuum pump after it has been through the heat exchanger
ITEM 9 and cooled at about 60/80°C. The gas is vented after being cleaned of all oil with the special oil demister
element; a pressure gauge ITEM 14 on the filter housing ITEM 1C gives indication of the degree of dirt contained by the
filter element. Special inspection openings ITEMS 43 are easily accessible for maintenance and cleaning of the frame
separator. Contrary to rotary vane vacuum pumps, there are no moving parts that come in contact with each other,
therefore there is no need for lubrication of the pump internals; these are very robust and reliable pump packages which
offer extended operating life even when handling condensable gases.

19.1 – LIFTING AND MOVING OF OILSYS SYSTEMS

DANGER!
Danger due to overturning or crushing. The Oilsys systems must ALWAYS be handled and lifted and moved in
horizontal position and without any oil in the tank.
For a safe lifting it is necessary use only ropes or belts positioned on metal bars that were previously inserted
in the lifting holes present on the base (see fig. 39) and handle it carefully to avoid damages to the system or
harm to the operators.
The bars diameter MUST NOT BE MORE than 5 mm smaller than the diameter of the lifting holes on the
base.
During handling always use appropriate protective devices.

The bars diameter must not be more than 5 mm smaller than the diameter of the lifting holes on the base.
The lifting bars, after having been inserted in the lifting holes, must be blocked at both ends to avoid the withdraw of the
rope or of the bars itself.
For the lifting with ropes or belts use only a balance beam to have a traction upright to the ground.

NOTE: The eyebolts intended for the lifting of a single component of the system MUST NOT be used to lift the entire
pump system.

For further information and clarifications ask our Sales Office.
