I. Introduction Our machines are very high quality products, which will always give you completely satisfactory and trouble free service, if they are erected, serviced and operated properly by skilled personnel. The instructions and recommendations contained in this booklet should be carefully followed to obtain trouble-free operation, and it should be accessible to everyone in charge of the erection, operation and maintenance of the machines.

MML pumps are normally employed where the total head ranges from 215 to 710 Ib/in2 = 15 to 50 kg/cm*. The size designation is in accordance with the bore of the discharge flange, e.g. MML 40 has a discharge bore of 40 mm = 1.5 in, etc. Constructional details are shown in the sectional drawings at the end of this booklet.
2.1.3. Bearings The rotor assembly in MML pumps sizes 40 to 150 inclusive runs in two anti-friction bearings; from MML 200 and upwards two plain bearings are used. The bearing brackets (3500) flanged to the suction and discharge casings are identical in dimensions. The rotor assembly is afforded a small amount of axial float by the plain bearings and also by the anti-friction bearings, which are NU series taper lock sleeve cylindrical roller bearings (3220).

Flexible Coupling 2.1.5. Coupling The pump and driver are connected to each other by a flexible coupling. Fig. 6 illustrates the type of flexible coupling most frequently used.
Dςp (= seaIing clearance gap diameter) and inside diameter DA ( = o.d. of spacer sleeve). This axial thrust A is transmitted to the rotor and is absorbed by a special hydraulic balancing device on MML series pumps.
Fig. 8 Characteristic curves at constant pump speed Fig. 8 illustrates the fact that the power absorbed by the pump does not decrease proportionately with the reduction in pump capacity; on the contrary, the power absorbed at shut-off head (capacity Q = O) is quite considerable. This absorbed power is transformed almost wholly into heat within the pump, and this will rapidly lead to over heating and vapor formation in the pump, when it is operated for any length of time against a closed discharge valve, or at very low through puts;...
7. After the piping is connected, the alignment at the coupling should be checked once again. It should be possible to rotate the rotating assembly easily by hand on the coupling, if the stuffing boxes are not packed (see section 3.2.1). 8.
3.3. Instrumentation In order to facilitate operating supervision, we recommend that each pump be provided with pressure gauges (with large dials) at the suction and discharge nozzle and on the balance water line. These gauges should incorporate a gauge cock or valve.
Eccentric reducer (fitted belly down) Fig. 12 .11a Suction lift line Fig. 11b For positive suction head lines, (see fig. 11b), the same considerations apply as for suction lift lines, as regards features and laying of the line. The horizontal sections of the line should however be laid with a gently rising incline towards the suction vessel.
An isolating valve should only be incorporated in a suction lift line, if more than one pump is connected too common suction line. In such cases, the valve should be installed with its stem horizontal, or pointing vertically downwards, to prevent the formation of air pockets.

It must always be installed vertically, with the direction of flow from bottom to top. Its construction and mode of operation is illustrated in fig. 14 and 14a, Name of Part Body Cover By-Pass Outlet Bearing Cover Seal Venturi Rocker Guide Rocker Arbor Washer...
4. Operating instructions 4. 1. Commissioning and starting up the pump A. Points to be checked prior to commissioning or start-up: 1 .Check the oil level in the bearings of the pump, and if necessary replenish until the oil runs out of the over flow. 2.
4. 3. Shutting down the pump 1. Close discharge valve. 2. Switch off driver, and observe pump rotor running down to a stand still. 3. Turn off cooling water, when the pump has cooled down below 105 °C (220 °F). This only applies to pumps with cooled stuffing boxes or bearings.
Before insertion in the stuffing box, cotton vibration packing rings must be thoroughly soaked in oil, but asbestos vibration packing rings should only be coated with oil on the inside. The first ring is wrapped around the sleeve and carefully pushed to the bottom of the pacing compartment by means of the stuffing box gland.
If the carbon rings and rotary rings have to be renewed, they should never be placed anywhere with their working faces down, since even the slightest scoring of the highly finished surfaces may result in leakage. Fig. 17 Auxiliary Stuffing Box 1758:15 4.4.4.

0.3 mm 0.2 mm 0.5 mm casing, ; and the discharge casing (1070), or in MML sizes 200-350, between the 'pacer sleeve in the discharge-casing (5252) and the bush M - 17 - 18) in the discharge casing (1070) *) If the wear rings and spacer sleeves are of chrome steel, the above listed clearances should be slightly increased . This is also true where the materials of construction used have different heal elongation coefficients and, as a result, excessive closing-in of the clearances could take place when fluids are pumped at high temperatures.
5020/2300, or 1060/5251, or 1070/6010 (on sizes MML 40-125), or 1070/5252 (on sizes MML 150-350), or 6010 or 5252 and 5210 (on sizes MML 200- 350), as the case may be. Adjust as necessary, or replace worn components by new ones.
4. 5. 2. Overloading of driver Possible cause Remedy 1. Pump discharge pressure is lower than specified at the Partially close the isolating valve in the discharge line until the design stage, and in the confirmation of order (check pump discharge pressure corresponds with the figure on the figures on the pump rating plate).
Fig. 19 Withdrawing the balance disc. In MML pump sizes 150-350, the balance disc (6010) and the spacer sleeve (5252) in the discharge casing are separate components, but share the same key on the shaft. This key must always be removed before the sleeve (5252) is withdrawn.
To facilitate removal of components mounted on the shaft of a pump that has been in service for a prolonged period, the use of one of the better-know rust solvents is recommended. If this proves ineffective, the parts in question (not the shaft) may be expanded by gradually heating up with a blow lamp.
After mounting the last impeller, and, in the case of pomp sizes MML 150-350, the spacer sleeve on the discharge side, the discharge cover (1070) with diffuser (1711) of final stage and the last O-rings (4120.5,4120.6) are fitted.
A part from special types, MML pump sizes 40-125 are fitted with taper lock sleeve roller bearings these combine the two features of a tight fit on the shaft required by the design, and an assembly which can be readily dismantled, so that there practically no risk of the bearing being damaged by having to use force to remove it from the shaft.
