Operating instructions for centrifugal pumps

1.0 General Directions

Every pump is subjected to a trial run on our test field and delivered in a fully operational shape .
The present Operating Instructions are intended to inform the operators an expert exploitation .
No liability would be assumed for damages resulting from the inobservation of these instructions .
A guarantee within the framework of our terms of delivery would be granted only if the pump is being used
for the service conditions identified and confirmed ( rating plate )
In all queries and spare parts orders , please state the following details:
( See rating plate )
1. Works No.
2. Pump Type / Size
3. Year of Manufacture
4. Designation of the replacement parts needed , by specifying the sectional drawing number
and parts items .
Should the pumping set not immediately be taken into operation , then check the pump interior for humidity
and dry it out .
A means of preservation should be applied in case of a prolonged storing period .

2.0 Installation of Pump

The resident superintendents has to advise the erection personnel of the safety requirements and of
particular local regulations .
Connection of the pump to the piping system has to be established free of any stresses , which means that all
forces and moments resulting from the system are to be intercepted before junction points .
Where the pump is delivered without drive motor , the electric motor has to be carefully sighted via the
coupling and the alignment be checked according to appendix A.
If non steel pipes are employed for the sea-water pump line, such as inside coated or CuNiFe pipes, the
sacrifice pipe or the anode (Zn or Fe) must be always installed near the pump suction.
After installation of the pump aggregate, the alignment of the flexible coupling must be checked
according to appendix A.
Final Check:
The pumping set must allow for an easy manual rotation on the coupling .
Verification of the Sense of Rotation:
The sense of rotation must coincide with the rotation sense arrow shown on the pump .
Verify the sense of rotation by shortly starting the drive of the liquid filled pump.

3.0 Commissioning / Stopping

3.1 Preparation:
Fill the volute casing of the pump with the medium to be conveyed .
Open the suction sided shut-off fitting for full passage .
3.2 Starting:
Start up the pump against the closed pressure gate valve .
As soon as the pump commences delivery with its full discharge power ( pressure increase on delivery
sided pressure gauge ) , slowly open the shut-off fitting . ( An extended run of the pump against the
closed shut-off fitting is not permitted . Inadmissible heating )
The pump must be protected against back flow (non-return flaps on the suction and delivery side) and
pressure shocks.
3.3 Stopping:
Close the pressure gate valve .
In the presence of non-return fittings ( pressure sided ) , the pump may be stopped without taking any
further measures .

 3.4 Shutdown:
If the pump is not used for prolonged periods , clean and preserve all components . Store the pumping
set in a dry state .
For the stand-by-pumps care is to be taken , that the pump shaft will be turned appr. twice a week to
avoid damages of the bearings by vibration .

4.0 Operational Supervision

4.1 Operating Point:
Continuously supervise the operational discharge head of the pump ( for data refer to rating plate ) as
the difference of the pressure readings between pressure and suction flanges of the pump .Correct it by
a regulating fitting to be provided on the discharge side .
4.2 Bearings:
Pump Type VNF :
Attention! Leakage holes at bearing seat must be always open in case mechanical seal is leaking - so
that no water can run into the bearings !
Regularly check the running noise of the bearings . A uniform , purring sound is audible in the event of
an unobjectionable bearing contact .
Damaged bearings cause a loud , irregular , chattering noise . (In such a case, examine the bearings.)
4.3 Shaft Seals:
Shaft seals must never run dry , not even for short periods !
4.3.1Mechanical Gland Seals:
In operation , mechanical gland seals are running free of leakages , which means that the low quantity
of conveying medium required for lubrication evaporates when escaping from the sealing gap .
Supervise the escape of leaking water in the range of the seal or at the checking outlet . If a drop by-
drop escape of fluid is exceeded , then examine the mechanical gland seal .
Replace it , if necessary .
4.3.2Stuffing Boxes:
When using packing material ( stuffing box ) , allow for a generous leakage during the running-in
period ( about 2 hours ) of the packing rings .
During the further operation , uniformly read-just the stuffing box gland until the leakage decreases to
the desired minimum ( slight dripping ) .
During this procedure , check shaft and stuffing box for temperature rise. In the event of symptoms for
overheating , do not tighten the gland any further but slacken it slightly so as to again achieve the
normal temperature by an increased leakage . Afterwards , slightly readjust the gland until the escape of
leakage is again under control .
If both temperature and tightness have themselves adjusted to a uniform value , a check is still required
at prolonged time intervals .
4.4 Suction Sided Fittings:
All fittings ( filters , butterfly valves , gate valves etc. ) are to be continuously examined for full passage
.

5.0 Maintenance
5.1 Bearings (Pump)
All pumps are delivered with grease lubricated rolling contact bearings .
Regrease through a grease nipple by using a grease gun .
The regreasing intervals and the quantities of grease to be refilled are obvious from the table given
below .

During all disassemblies - but not exceeding 4 years - carefully clean the bearings from old grease
residues . then reintroduce the new charge by spreading or refilling bearing grease into all bearing
cavities between the rolling elements .
As a lubricant , use quality rolling contact bearing greases having the following specification :

Saponification basis: LITHIUM with anti-corrosion additives , water repellent

Dripping point: about 190°C .
Handling temperatures: -30°C up to +120°C .
Walk penetration: 250 to 295
Standard: SEB 181252
SEB 18103 K3K

 Mechanical gland seals do not necessitate any particular maintenance during operation .
5.3 Stuffing Boxes
Stuffing box packings must not seal definitely tight . A dripping leakage is necessary to prevent
overheating or even burning of the packing due to frictional heat .
Retighten the packing in compliance with item 4.3 in the event of heavy leakage .
Commence with replacing individual packing rings in case of a corresponding wear-down ( 2 rings at
the maximum per stuffing box ) . If no sufficient sealing effect can be obtained by this measure ,then
clean and repack the stuffing box .
5.4 Electric Motors
Electric motors supplied from us are provided with a bearing grease charge for 2000 hours of operation.
Carry out maintenance by following the requirements of the manufacturers of the electric motors .

8.0 Description of the Priming Pump

(Liquid Seal Pump)

The liquid seal priming pump consists of the air pump housing and bladed air pump impeller .
The bladed impeller is mounted on the same shaft as the rotor . It is fitted into the air pump housing but with
sufficient clearance to prevent wear of the housing walls .
After the priming pump has been primed with the medium to be handled , a ring of liquid is formed in the pump
housing as a result of the centrifugal force set up by the rotation of the bladed impeller , and a sickle-shaped
working space is formed around the hub of the impeller .
This working space is divided by the blades into individual chambers , the liquid ring being first enlarged and
then reduced during rotation .
With cubical expansion the air or the liquid is drawn in through the suction slot , and with cubical contraction it
is ejected through the pressure slot .
The air pump is set in such a way that it can withdraw from the rear of the rotor through ducts provided for the
purpose , the control cock being set to "Ansaugen"(suction) .
At first , an air/water mixture is forcefully ejected ; this continues until a regular flow of water establishes itself .
The pump is now filled with water and delivery starts automatically .
This is the end of the priming period , the control cock is set to "Betrieb"(operation) and the water drawn in is
constantly circulated through the pump .

9.0 Alignment for flexible coupling Straight edge
When aligning the coupling halves, the angular and parallel offset misalignments of
shafts relative to each other should be as small as possible. Alignment to be carried out
in two planes as shown in fig. 1.1 with a straight edge (offset misalignment) and spacer
bar (angular misalignment). A dial indicator will give greater accuracy.
