    Technical description Observe the instructions in section 3, "Safety instructions"! General description The gear unit described is a two­stage helical­gear unit designed for driving an air­cooler installation for power stations. It is designed for installation in a vertical position. The output shaft rotates in an oil­pressure tube (see item 5.6.2). This prevents gear oil from escaping at the shaft end.

  • Page 23: Shaft Seals

    Shaft seals Radial shaft seals at the shaft outlets prevent oil or grease from escaping from, or dirt from entering into the gear unit. 5.6.1 Radial shaft­sealing rings Radial shaft­sealing rings are the standard type of seal. They are fitted preferably with an additional dust lip to protect the actual sealing lip from external contamination.
  • Page 24: Protection Against Dry Running

    5.6.3 Protection against dry running In order to safely avoid dry running of the shaft sealing ring arranged at the top, a grease filling (4) and a ring (3) are provided above the shaft-sealing ring (2). In such case, a shaft-sealing ring with no additional dust lip is applied.
  • Page 25: Backstop

    The stop direction can be changed by turning the cage around. If a change in stop direction is required, Siemens should be consulted beforehand. To avoid damaging the backstop or the gear unit, the motor must not be run adversely to the stop direction of the gear unit.
  • Page 26: Couplings, Clutches

    Fig. 13: Fan Cover plate of the fan A detailed view of the gear unit can be obtained from the drawings in the gear­unit documentation. For gear units fitted with a fan, sufficient space must be allowed for air intake when fitting the safety guards for the coupling or other components.
  • Page 27: Heating

    5.10 Heating At low temperatures it may be necessary to heat the gear oil before switching on the drive unit or even during operation. In such cases the use of heating elements is possible. These heating elements convert electrical energy into heat which is conducted to the surrounding oil. The heating elements are located in protective tubes inside the housing, thus making it possible to replace them without draining off the oil.
  • Page 28: Temperature Control Of The Heating Elements

    5.10.1 Temperature control of the heating elements The heating elements are controlled by a device controlling the minimum and maximum temperature. As a rule, and unless otherwise agreed by contract, for this function double thermostats working as temperature monitor and safety temperature monitor are used. A detailed view of the temperature­control device can be obtained from the drawings in the gear­unit documentation.
  • Page 29: Oil­temperature Monitoring System

    5.12 Oil­temperature monitoring system The gear unit is fitted with a Pt 100 resistance thermometer for measuring the oil temperature in the oil sump. In order to measure the temperatures and/or temperature differences, the Pt 100 resistance thermometer, which should comply with the requirements of Directive 94/9/EC, must be connected to a suitable evaluating instrument provided by the customer.
  • Page 30: Fitting

    Fitting Observe the instructions in section 3, "Safety instructions"! The gear unit must not be fitted whilst the environment is explosive. General information on fitting When transporting the gear unit observe the notes in section 4, "Transport and storage". Fitting work must be done with great care by authorised, trained and qualified personnel. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect assembly and installation.
  • Page 31: Unpacking

    The products supplied are listed in the despatch papers. Check immediately on receipt to ensure that all the products listed have actually been delivered. Parts damaged and/or missing parts must be reported to Siemens in writing immediately. The packaging must not be opened or damaged, when this is part of the preservation method! •...
  • Page 32: Alignment

    6.3.1.1 Alignment Order­specific machined surfaces (alignment surfaces) are provided on the gear-unit top side for preliminary alignment in horizontal direction. Alignment surface: For the exact position of the alignment surfaces please refer to the drawings of the gear­unit documentation. The alignment surfaces are for aligning the gear unit horizontally, in order to ensure correct running of the gear unit.
  • Page 33: Fitting On A Steel Frame

    For permissible alignment errors in case of couplings supplied by Siemens, please refer to the operating instructions manuals for the couplings. If you use couplings manufactured by other manufacturers, ask these manufacturers which alignment errors are permissible, stating the radial loads occurring.
  • Page 34: Gear Unit With Wiring In The Terminal Box

    Alignment has to be done in two axial planes arranged perpendicularly to each other. This can be done by means of a ruler (radial misalignment) and feeler gauge (angular misalignment), as shown in the illustration. The aligning accuracy can be increased by using a dial gauge or a laser alignment system. Fig.

    Start­up Observe the instructions in section 3, "Safety instructions"! The gear unit must not be started up, if the required instructions are not available. Procedure before start­up 7.1.1 Removal of preservative agent The location of the oil­draining points is marked by an appropriate symbol in the dimensioned drawing in the gear­unit documentation (see item 5.2).
  • Page 39: Filling With Lubricant

    The quality of the oil used must meet the requirements of the separately supplied BA 7300 instructions manual, otherwise the guarantee given by Siemens will lapse. We urgently recommend using one of the oils listed in table "T 7300" (for a link, see the BA 7300 document supplied separately), because they have been tested and meet the requirements.
  • Page 40: Oil Quantities

    In case of gear units fitted with forced lubrication or an oil­cooling system, the oil circuit must also be charged with oil. To do this, briefly start up the gear unit with the add­on pump (observing the description in section 8). •...
