  • Page 5 Table of Contents Foreword To provide industry with a line of rugged, dependable, enclosed impeller "close coupled" pumps, Goulds developed Model 3655. The life and satisfactory service of any mechanical unit, however, is enhanced and extended by correct application, proper installation, periodic inspection and maintenance. This instruction book was prepared so operators will understand the construction and the correct method for installing, operating and main- taining these pumps.

  • Page 13: Installation

    2 Installation 2 Installation 2.1 Location Pumping unit should be placed as close as practical to the source of supply. Head room and floor space allotted to the pump should be sufficient for inspection and maintenance. 2.2 Foundation The foundation should be substantial in order to absorb any vibration and to form a permanent rigid sup- port for the pump.

  • Page 16: Piping - Suction

    2.5 Piping - suction 2.5 Piping - suction Properly installed suction piping is of extreme importance for trouble-free centrifugal pump opera- tion. The suction pipe should be as large or larger than the pump suction. Increasers, if used, should be eccentric and preferably at or near the pump suction flange.

  • Page 17: Preparation For Operation

    3 Preparation for operation 3 Preparation for operation 3.1 Bearings The bearings are located in and are part of the motor. Refer to separate motor instructions. There are no bearings in the pump. 3.2 Stuffing box These pumps are furnished with packed stuffing box. In the box of fittings accompanying the pump will be found the stuffing box packing.

  • Page 18: Connection Of Piping To Quenching Gland

    3.4 Connection of piping to quenching gland The quenching liquid must be from an outside source and should be piped with flexible pipe into the opening in the upper gland half and out the opening in the lower gland half. A shut-off valve should be installed in the quenching line.

  • Page 19: Starting Pump

    4 Starting Pump 4 Starting Pump 4.1 Priming The pump must always be fully primed - all air removed and the suction pipe full of liquid - before pump is started. If the pump is run dry, the rotating parts within the pump may gall and seize to the stationary parts as they depend on the liquid being pumped for lubrication.

  • Page 20: Operation

    5 Operation 5 Operation 5.1 Stuffing box Stuffing box with packing rings without quenching gland and grease lubricator. Periodically inspect stuffing box to see that there is sufficient leakage to lubricate the packing and main- tain a cool box. Never draw up packing so that the stuffing box heats, as this will cause damage to both packing and shaft.

  • Page 21: Operating At Reduced Head

    5.3 Operating at reduced head 5.3 Operating at reduced head On motor driven pumps, when discharge head or pressure is allowed to drop considerably below the rat- ed point for any length of time, the motor should be watched for heating because the pump capacity in- creases rapidly with reduced head, as does horsepower consumption.

  • Page 22: Trouble Check List

    6 Trouble check list 6 Trouble check list 6.1 No liquid delivered Priming -c asing and suction pipe not completely filled with liquid. Speed too low. Discharge head too high. Check total head (particularly friction loss). Suction lift too high (suction pipe may be too small or long, causing excessive friction loss). Check with vacuum or compound gauge.

  • Page 23: Pump Works Awhile And Then Quits

    6.4 Pump works awhile and then quits Air or gases in liquid. Impeller diameter may be too small. Mechanical defects: Impeller clearance too great. Impeller damaged. Wrong direction of rotation. Be sure pressure gauge is in correct place on discharge nozzle or discharge pipe. When connected to electric motors, check wether motor wiring receives full volatage.
  • Page 24 6.7 Pump is noisy Rotating parts bind, are loose or broken. Bearings worn out. *When connected to electric motors, check whether motor wiring is correct and receives full voltage. When connected to steam turbines, make sure that turbine receives full steam pressure.

Refer to separate motor instructions for care and maintenance. 7.2 Repacking stuffing box Loosen gland nuts and side gland along shaft out of stuffing box. Remove gland halves from pump. Remove the outer rings of packing with the aid of a packing hook Remove Lantern ring (105) by inserting a wire hook in the slots in the outer edge of the ring and pulling ring from box.

    7.4 Wearing rings 7.4 Wearing rings Casing wearing rings are provided for both hubs of the impeller on some sizes and only on the suction hub on others. Refer to Sectional assembly parts and interchangeability chart. These rings allow a small clearance to be maintained between the rotating impeller and the stationary casing wearing rings.

  • Page 29: Replacing Casing

    7.6 Replacing casing Using a soft metal hammer, tap evenly on center of impeller until shaft threads protrude beyond im- peller. Push impeller on the remaining distance with impeller nut (304) and washer (199). 10. Replace suction cover (182) and nuts on studs (356) . Connect suction piping.
