3.0 General technical information Pump standard parts Top cover Intermediate casing Pump shaft Bearing bracket Idler pin Rotor Pump cover Idler gear Pump casing Operating principle As the rotor and idler gear unmesh, an underpressure is created and the liquid enters the new created cavities. Liquid is transported in sealed pockets to the discharge side.
3.2.1 Self-priming operation TopGear pumps are self-priming when sufficient liquid is present in the pump to fill up the clearances and the dead spaces between the teeth. (For self-priming operation see also section 3.18.6.2 Piping). 3.2.2 Safety relief valve – Working principle The positive displacement principle requires the installation of a safety relief valve protecting the pump against overpressure.
Main characteristics The pump size is designated by the displacement volume of 100 revolutions expressed in litres (or dm ) but rounded followed by the nominal port diameter expressed in millimetres. Vs-100 n.max n.mot Q.th Q.th ∆p p.maw p.test TG H pump size (bar) (bar) (bar)
Pressure For performance on pressure, three kinds of pressures must be considered: Differential pressure or working pressure (p) is the pressure on which the pump normally operates. The maximum differential pressure for all TopGear H-range pumps is 16 bar. Maximum allowable working pressure (p.m) is the pressure on which the pump casing is designed and that can been achieved occasionally when the operating pressure rises over the normal operating pressure e.g.
Sound power level (L The sound power L is the power emitted by the pump as sound waves and is used to compare sound levels of machines. It is the sound pressure Lp that act on a surrounding surface at distance of 1 meter.
Material options Overall temperature The TG H range is designed for high temperatures. The overall temperatures for selected casing materials are shown in below table. Minimum allowable temperature (°C) Maximum allowable temperature (°C) TG H Casing materials Casing materials pump size Stainless steel (R) Carbon steel (S) Nodular iron (N)
3.10.2 Maximum temperature of internals For some material combinations the general temperature performances must be limited. The maximum allowable working temperature of internals depends on the combination of used materials and their thermal expansions and the interference fit to hold the bearing bush fixed. •...
3.10.4 Maximum torque of pump shaft and rotor material combination The maximum allowable torque is a constant independent from speed and may not be exceeded to avoid damaging the pump i.e. pump shaft, rotor/shaft fitting and rotor teeth.

Performance Maximum performance such as viscosity, temperature and working pressure depends on the make of the mechanical seal and the used materials. The following basic values can be taken into consideration. Maximum temperatures of elastomers Nitrile (P): 110°C FPM (Fluorocarbon): 180°C PTFE (solid or PTFE wrapped): 220°C...
3.16.4 Reverted packing execution for e.g. chocolate application For chocolate pumping applications the PR version is designed. The pump shaft is sealed by means of packing rings and the bronze shaft bearing is placed outside the pumped medium and is designed to work as a packing gland. Because of the fact that, under normal conditions, the shaft bearing does not come into contact with the pumped medium, bronze can be used as material.
3.17.5 Triple PTFE lip-seal cartridge As from the first of July 2015, this new shaft sealing option (TCL TV) is available on the TopGear GM and H range. This new shaft sealing option can be used for pumping products with a viscosity of more than 5.000 mPas as alternative for double mechanical seals omitting the need for an expensive pressurized quench system.
3.17.1 Pressure Safety relief valves are divided into 4 working pressure classes i.e. 4, 6, 10 and 16 indicating the maximum working pressure for that valve. Each class has a standard set pressure at 1 bar above the indicated maximum working pressure. The set pressure can be set lower on request never higher. Working pressure class Standard set pressure (bar) Working pressure range (bar)
3.17.3 Safety relief valve – Relative adjustment Adjustment of the standard setting pressure is performed at the factory. Note! When testing the safety relief valve mounted on the pump, make sure the pressure never exceeds the set pressure of the valve + 2 bar. To adjust the standard opening pressure, proceed as follows: 1.
3.18 Installation 3.18.1 General This manual gives basic instructions which are to be observed during installation of the pump. It is therefore important that this manual is read by the responsible personnel prior to assembly and afterward to be kept available at the installation site. The instructions contain useful and important information allowing the pump/pump unit to be properly installed.
3.18.2.4 Indoor installation Locate the pump so that the motor can be vented properly. Prepare the motor for operation according to instructions provided by the motor manufacturer. When flammable or explosive products are pumped, a proper earthing should be provided. The components of the unit should be connected with earthing bridges to reduce the danger arising from static electricity.
3.18.3.2 Radial load on shaft end The shaft end of the pump shaft may be loaded in radial sense with the maximum radial force (Fr). See table. TG H pump size Fr (N) - max 2-32/3-32 6-40 15-50/23-65 1000 58-80/86-100 2000 185-125 3000...
3.18.5 Shaft rotation for pump with safety relief valve The shaft rotation determines which port of the pump is suction and which is discharge. The relation between the shaft rotation and the suction/discharge side is indicated by the rotation arrow plate attached at the valve casing of the safety relief valve. TG 2-25 TG 23-65 1 Direction of rotation of pump shaft...
3.18.6 Suction and discharge pipes 3.18.6.1 Forces and moments Note! Excessive forces and moments on the nozzle flanges derived from piping can cause mechanical damage to pump or pump unit. Pipes should therefore be connected in line, limiting the forces on the pump connections. Support the pipes and make sure they remain stress-free during operation of the pump.
Self-priming operation At the start sufficient liquid must be available in the pump filling up the internal clearance volume and the dead spaces, allowing the pump to build up a pressure difference. Therefore, for pumping low viscosity fluids, a foot valve with the same or larger diameter than the suction pipe must be installed or the pump can be installed without foot-valve but in U-line.
3.18.7.2 Heating jackets 1. S-type jackets The S-jackets are designed for use with saturated steam (max 10 bar, 180°C) or with non-dangerous media. They are provided with threaded connections Bl (see chapter 6.0 for the dimensions). The connection can be done by threaded pipes or pipe connections with sealing in the thread (conical thread applying ISO 7/1) or sealed outside the thread by means of flat gaskets (cylindrical thread applying ISO 228/1).
4. Jacket around the shaft seal Connect the supply and the return line to both connections on the intermediate casing. A drain plug is provided in the intermediate casing at the bottom side (Bg). In case of steam supply this drain can be connected to a drain line to evacuate condensed water.
• When at a high discharge pressure packing (3000) must be relieved. Connect the suction flange via Bd or Bi. Be sure the pressure in the lantern ring area is above atmosphere pressure to avoid air sucking through the last packing rings which makes the packing running dry. •...
3.18.8.4 Double mechanical seal – Back-to-back arrangement • Use connection Bd or Bi as the outlet of quench media and one of the connections Bj as the inlet. • Use connection Bc as filling and air release plug (this is not possible with H2-32/H3-32 and Bd (Bi) with jackets around the shaft seal area).
3.18.8.6 Secondary connections Several connection types for circulation, quench or flush on shaft sealing are possible in accordance to ISO-code or to API-plan. Overview possible configurations for shaft seal circulation, quench and flushing.

API plans 12, 22, 31, 32, 41/ ISO codes 04, 05, 08, 09 – Clean flush A flow of clean fluid to the seal chamber. The fluid can be either pumped fluid recirculating through a strainer or cyclone separator and orifice, or a clean compatible fluid injected from an external source. This media comes into contact with the pumped liquid, so it must be compatible with it.
API plan 52/ ISO codes 10, 03 – Circulating quench A non-pressurised barrier fluid is connected, flowing from an external source and circulating between both shaft seals. (TG H2-32/3-32) 2xBi 3.18.9 Guidelines for assembly When a bare shaft pump is delivered, the assembly with drive is the responsibility of the user. The user also must provide all necessary devices and equipment allowing a safe installation and commissioning of the pump.
3.18.9.4 Electric motor drive • Before connecting an electric motor to the mains check the current local regulations of your electricity provider as well as the EN 60204-1 standard. • Leave the connecting of electric motors to qualified personnel. Take the necessary measures to prevent damage to electrical connections and wiring.
3.18.9.6 Shaft coupling Internal gear pumps demand a relatively high starting torque. During the operation shock loads are occurring due to pulsations inherent to the gear pump principle. Therefore, choose a coupling which is 1.5 times the torque recommended for normal constant load. Alignment The pump and motor shafts of complete units are accurately pre-aligned in the factory.
3.19 Instructions for start-up 3.19.1 General The pump can be put into service when all arrangements described in chapter 3.18 Installation have been made. • Prior to commissioning, responsible operators have to be fully informed on proper operation of the pump/pump unit and the safety instructions. This instruction manual must at all times be available to the personnel.
3.19.4 Checklist – Initial start-up After thorough servicing or when the pump is to be put into service for the first time (initial start-up) the following checklist must be observed: Supply and discharge line c Suction and discharge pipes are cleaned. c Suction and discharge pipes are checked for leaks.
Protection c All guards and safety devices (coupling, rotating parts, excessive temperature) are in place and operative. c In case of pumps that may reach working temperatures of 60°C or more, ensure sufficient safety guards against occasional touching are in place. 3.19.5 Start-up When the pump is to be put into service the following checklist and procedure must be observed: c Pump is filled with liquid.
3.20 Trouble shooting Symptom Cause Remedy No flow Suction lift too high • Reduce difference between Pump not priming pump and suction tank level. • Increase suction pipe diameter. • Reduce length and simplify suction pipe (use as few elbows and other fittings as possible). Also see section 3.18 Installation.

Make sure that the personnel read the entire instruction manual and, in particular, indicate those sections concerning the work at hand. • SPX is not responsible for accidents and damage caused by non-compliance with the guidelines. 3.21.2 Preparation 3.21.2.1 Surroundings (on site)
3.21.2.6 External cleaning • Keep the surface of the pump as clean as possible. This simplifies inspection, the attached markings remain visible and grease nipples are not forgotten. • Make sure cleaning products do not enter the ball bearing space. Cover all parts that must not come into contact with fluids.
Never re-use flat gaskets. • Always replace the flat gaskets and elastic rings under the plugs with genuine spares from SPX. 3.21.3.4 Filter or suction strainer Any filters or suction strainers at the bottom of the suction line must be cleaned regularly.
The standard “multi-purpose” grease (consistent class NLGI-2) is suitable for temperatures up to 120°C. For higher temperatures the standard grease should be replaced by a high temperature grease (consistent class NLGI-3). This grease is, depending on the make, suitable for temperatures up to 150°C or 180°C.
3.21.3.7 Shaft seals A. Gland packing PO • For pumps with gland packing, regularly check the packing for leaks. A slight leakage is normal. • Regularly check connections on the lantern ring (if applicable). • If the gland packing leaks excessively or when the pump needs serve, the old packing rings must be replaced.
Page 61
B. Gland packing PQ • For pumps with gland packing, regularly check the packing for leaks. A slight leakage is normal. • Regularly check connections on the lantern ring (if applicable). • If the gland packing leaks excessively or when the pump needs serve, the old packing rings must be replaced.
C. Reverted packing PR When pumping chocolate, the packing needs to be tightened bit by bit at the (initial) start-up in order to achieve the utmost minimum of leakage, just enough to lubricate the packing rings. Excessively leaking chocolate can overheat in the packing, causing caramelisation, resulting in extra wear of the packing.
1. Loosen the set screws (1480). 1480 2. Tighten the bolts (1540). 1530 3. The pump shaft with roller bearing and rotor will be pushed against the pump cover. The axial clearance is then zero. 1540 4. Install a gauge on the bearing bracket. 5.
Non-compliance with the instructions or neglecting warnings can damage the user or lead to severe damage to pump and/or pump unit. SPX is not liable for accidents and damage resulting from such neglect.
Anti-friction bearings 4.5.1 General • Never re-use a disassembled bearing or a disassembled lock plate! • For disassembly and assembly of the bearing (and coupling). use correct tools in order to inspect the pump without any shock loads. Shocks can damage the crisp material of bush bearings and mechanical seal.
