Scope This manual is for installing and maintaining Selwood’s D75 body unit only. This manual is written for units received without a power source, which typically would be an IC (internal combustion) engine or an electrical motor.
Before starting any work, ensure the body unit is isolated from the electrical power supply either by the isolator switch or, by disconnecting the pump at the battery and placing a sign in clear view: ‘DO NOT SWITCH ON, MAINTENANCE IN PROGRESS!’. Selwood pumps have auto start facilities and may receive a start signal at any time.
Manual Symbols Comply with literature. Warning: hot surface with risk of burns. Relevant information. Warning: heavy loads. This symbol draws attention to items or work which carry higher risks of injury from lifting. Adhere to local legislation involving lifting in these instances.
Health & Safety DANGER Non-compliance with this section could result in injury or loss of life. It is the responsibility of the employer to ensure correct PPE and safe working procedures are in place. Full PPE is always recommended, and steel toe cap boots, eye protection (safety glasses), coveralls & high visibility vests are essential.
Ensure that coveralls are Selwood pumps substances clean before use. hazardous to health. Safety Glasses Head Protection Eyes must be protected from debris, To protect the head from falling objects or dust, smoke and corrosive chemicals.
Description Shaft end The location where the driver is connected via a coupling; the coupling used is dependent on the application and can be found in the pump’s parts list, if applicable. Contact Selwood for further assistance. Mechanical An almost perfect seal between the worked liquid and pump oils that allows a rotating seal component and stationary component to operate together without overheating.
Separator System Step Stage Image The air pump drawers air from the suction tube (white arrows). The worked fluid displaces the removed air. Rising water pushes the ball into the seat. The ball is attached to a peel valve via a connecting rod, which stops worked fluid from passing the air pump (carryover).
Non-return Valve (NRV) The NRV can be found within the delivery chamber, although designs may slightly vary throughout the range, the principles are the same. Suction lift can be affected by a dis-functional NRV, see servicing sections in this manual to address.
Liquids captive to the pump can be damaging to the environment and must be disposed of in accordance with local law. Drip trays are always recommended when operating & maintaining Selwood pumps. Failure to drain the body unit and delivery pipework in freezing conditions could result in damage to the pump’s casting.
Any parts or assemblies with a notable mass are stated within the servicing sections of this manual. When lifting any Selwood products, refer to local legislation and guidance. If in doubt, contact Selwood or a local lifting specialist. All lifting equipment including forklifts must be fully serviced and inspected in accordance with local legislation.
11.1.2 Recommended Lifting Technique CAUTION Adhere to following guidelines when lifting the body unit: ▪ Never in any circumstances allow personnel under suspended loads. ▪ Ensure that lifting equipment can lift the gross weight of the pump. ▪ Ensure all lifting equipment has been inspected and is compliant with local legislation. ▪...
11.2 Upon Receipt of the Body Unit Although great care is taken to ensure the quality of our product, it is advisable to check the following upon receipt. ▪ Check the body unit for any obvious physical damage to the castings and components. ▪...
11.4 Shelf Life MUST READ The body unit has a recommended storage limitation of two years before a service is necessary, this is due to the internal parts life expectancy. It is good practice to rotate the body unit’s drive shaft 4 ½ turns every two weeks to stop the seizure of internal components.
13 for correct oil level), and to ensure that the oil is of the recommended quality and free from contamination. Selwood recommend the use of the following products, which should be applied as per the following table. In some territories, the following grades may be known under different trade names, please contact Selwood if problems occur in identifying the correct product.
12.4 Installation Example If the body unit has been purchased as a single item, this section details some of the necessary installation requirements when coupled with a motor/engine. Step Action Image The skid base is a standard part for supporting the pump’s components, as well as absorbing and dissipating vibrations &...
Page 21
Step Action Image When installing the body unit to a rigid pipework system, at least 2m of flexible armoured pipe should be used on both suction and delivery Fixed pipework system connections. Flexible hose length A space requirement of 1.5 m surrounding the unit for operation and maintenance is recommended.
12.5 Maximum Allowable Flange Loads This section is written in accordance with Annex B, BS ES ISO 5199: 2002, Technical specifications for centrifugal pumps – Class 2. The values given within this section are for pumps with baseplates for standard construction and installation. Excessive forces and moments acting on the pipe flanges can cause misalignment of the body unit and driver shafts, stress upon the body unit’s castings and wear of securing fixings between the base and body unit.
▪ Delivery hose and any associated pipe work should be capable of withstanding the maximum system operating pressure. Selwood recommend the minimum pressure rating of 6 Bar hose. Suction hose should be of the non-collapsible type. ▪ The pipe bore diameter must minimally exceed that of the pump connection and the transition between various pipe sizes must be kept to a minimum.
To reduce excessive wear of the pump, it is recommended the vertical distance from the unit’s suction flange centre and the suction lines highest point does not exceed 10 meters. Must not Suction exceed line 10 m. highest point. Suction flange Figure 6: Suction line rise.
Understanding the Pump’s Curve 12.7 Selwood have a wide range of pumps for all applications and liquids, please speak to a Selwood representative for more information. This section gives a brief overview of the pump’s curve, be aware that the below curves are arbitrary and do not reflect any specific pump;...
12.8.1 The Correct Pump for the System A system curve considers the resistance in head between the delivery valve and the end point that the unit must overcome before pumping the fluid. This includes any height rises, friction losses in the pipelines and ancillaries in the system, which can be seen when the flow rate is at zero in the below system curve, this is known as static head.
NSPH-R (Net Positive Suction Head Required) is the result of extensive testing of the pump at Selwood’s facilities, this is the minimum suction pressure for the pump to operate correctly.
Body Unit Pre-operation CAUTION If safety equipment such as protective guards or heat blankets are missing, do not start the pump until replaced. MUST READ Body unit oils should be changed every 250 hours. In no circumstances should this time exceed 500 hours.
Step Action Image Ensure drain valves are closed (B) before operation. Open (A). Checks Whilst Operating CAUTION In the event of an emergency, a stopping mechanism must be in place to completely shut the driver down and subsequently the body unit. The pump should only be operated within the speed and pressure limits detailed within section 9.
14.2 Blockages DANGER Oil Grade Blockages in the delivery line cause high pressures in the system that can become extremely dangerous to personnel and the pump. Immediately engage the Emergency Stop (which must be installed for the complete pump to be CE compliant) if pipelines are moving erratically or are hot to touch.
14.3 Running Dry Flushing Chamber Mechanical Seal Figure 8: A mechanical seal comprising of two components; a stationary seat pressed into the casting and a rotating spring-loaded actuator that pushes against the seat. Both have highly polished silicon carbide surfaces which are in constant contact, this creates a seal between the worked liquid and the oil filled chambers of the body unit.
500 hours. Liquids captive to the pump can be damaging to the environment and must be disposed of in accordance with local law. Drip trays are always recommended when operating Selwood pumps. MUST READ Engine periodic maintenance must be carried out in accordance with instructions given in the manufacturer’s manual.
