3 Product Description 1. An external flush is required on low pressure systems that contain a high concentration of abrasives. 2. Use packing on open or closed systems which require a large amount of makeup water, as well as systems that are subjected to a wide variety of chemical conditions and solids buildup.
4 Installation 4 Installation 4.1 Preinstallation Precautions WARNING: • When installing in a potentially explosive environment, make sure that the motor is properly certified. • You must ground (earth) all electrical equipment. This applies to the pump equipment, the driver, and any monitoring equipment. Test the ground (earth) lead to verify that it is connected correctly.
4 Installation 4.1.2 Foundation requirements Requirements • The foundation must be able to absorb any type of vibration and form a permanent, rigid support for the unit. • The foundation must weigh at least 2-1/2 times the weight of the pump unit. •...
4 Installation 4.1.3 Piping checklist WARNING: • The heating of water and other fluids causes volumetric expansion. The associated forces can cause the failure of system components and the release of high- temperature fluids. In order to prevent this, install properly sized and located compression tanks and pressure-relief valves.
4 Installation go under the pump casing feet to make the volute level with the bottom of the motor support or motor feet. 2. Then add additional shims at each of the four volute hold down bolt locations, as required, until the volute feet are fully supported, the pump discharge flange is level, and there is a gap under the motor saddle or motor feet.
4 Installation When you pour the grout, remove air bubbles from it by using one of these methods: – Puddle with a vibrator. – Pump the grout into place. 5. Allow the grout to set. It is recommended to remove shims, retighten anchor bolts, and fill shim gaps with grout.
5 Commissioning, Startup, Operation, and Shutdown 5 Commissioning, Startup, Operation, and Shutdown 5.1 Preparation for startup WARNING: • Failure to follow these precautions before you start the unit will lead to serious personal injury and equipment failure. • Do not operate the pump below the minimum rated flows or with the suction or discharge valves closed.
5 Commissioning, Startup, Operation, and Shutdown 5.3 Start the pump CAUTION: • Observe the pump for vibration levels, bearing temperature, and excessive noise. If normal levels are exceeded, shut down the pump and resolve the issue. Before you start the pump, you must perform these tasks: •...
5 Commissioning, Startup, Operation, and Shutdown CAUTION: Avoid excessive vibration levels. Excessive vibration levels can damage the bearings, stuffing box or seal chamber, and the mechanical seal, which can result in decreased performance. NOTICE: • Avoid increased radial load. Failure to do so can cause stress on the shaft and bearings.
