FOREWORD Flowserve Pump Division products are the result of more than a century of progressive study and development. Advanced design, proper selection of materials and precision construction reflect this wide experience. Flowserve Pump Division products are designed to give trouble-free, efficient operation with minimum maintenance and repair.
Local codes and practices COOLING SYSTEM The MSX Series 2 motor has a self-contained, closed-loop cooling system, which makes it suitable for dry pit as well as wet pit applications. A secondary impeller is used to pump the cooling fluid through a heat exchanger plate, transferring heat to the pumped fluid.
DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR AND POSSIBLE ELECTRIC SHOCK. BEARINGS MSX Series 2 pumps are equipped with back-to-back, tapered roller thrust and single-row, ball line bearings. The line and thrust bearings are lubricated for life with grease. IMPELLER AND WEARING RINGS The pump impeller is of the enclosed non-clog type capable of passing solids of limited size.
Excessive leaking (more than a few drops) should be reported to your local Flowserve Pump Division Service Center, as it may indicate a problem with the mechanical seals. If there is excessive leaking, the situation should be resolved prior to installing your pump.
Flowserve Pump Division Representative. MANUFACTURER'S SERVICE We recommend that the services of a Flowserve Pump Division Service Engineer or Flowserve Pump Division Authorized Representative be employed for start-up of pump equipment. The purchaser is then afforded the opportunity to receive adequate and authoritative instructions, validating the Flowserve Pump Division warranty.
SITE PREPARATION Flowserve Pump Division MSX Series 2 wet well pumps can be installed in a permanent well via a guide rail system or on a pedestal base so that they are transportable. Series 2 pumps can also be installed in dry pit applications with the use of a suction base and permanent discharge piping.
The purpose of grouting is to prevent lateral shifting of the equipment supports and not to take up irregularities in the foundation. Only non-shrinking grout with a 6000 psi (41.4 MPa) compressive strength in 72 hours should be used. Flowserve Pump Division recommends the following procedure for grouting: Build a wooden form around the outside of the base to contain the grout.
A compound pressure gauge should be connected to the suction and a pressure gauge connected to the discharge side of each pump. Mount the gauges at a convenient location as they are necessary for any adequate check on pump performance. Flowserve Pump Division - 13...
Pumps intended for portable use are supplied with a transportable stand. Either flexible hose with quick disconnect couplings or rigid piping can be attached to the discharge; See Figure 3: Transportable Stand. PUMP SIDE VIEW TRANSPORTABLE STAND Figure 3: Transportable Stand Flowserve Pump Division - 14...
Contact Flowserve Pump Division directly for variations in installation and performance at other voltages. Most Series 2 MSX Pumps are furnished multiple power cables to meet the ampacity ratings as required by ANSI/NFPA 70 (NEC).
Flowserve Pump Division Service Personnel. CAUTION: A CHANGE IN VOLTAGE REQUIRES REWIRING OF THE MOTOR. REWIRING BY NON-FLOWSERVE PUMP DIVISION SERVICE PERSONNEL WILL VOID THE FACTORY WARRANTY AND NEGATE THE EXPLOSION PROOF CERTIFICATION. Figure 5: Motor Connection Diagram Checking Rotation After connection of the electric service and prior to installing the unit, the rotation must be checked.
Insulation Testing Flowserve Pump Division recommends that the motor winding insulation be checked once the unit is in place and prior to applying power to the unit. If the insulation resistance of the motor winding and power supply cable is to be tested, use an instrument designed for this purpose (500 VDC). To measure the insulation resistance, use to following procedure: Disconnect all leads of the power supply cable and clean them carefully.
DURING OPERATION, THE COOLING FLUID WILL INCREASE IN TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURIZE THE COOLING SYSTEM. PRIOR TO DRAINING THE COOLING FLUID, THE PUMP SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO COOL. THE COOLING SYSTEM SHOULD BE OPENED CAREFULLY AS THE COOLING FLUID COULD STILL BE PRESSURIZED. Flowserve Pump Division - 18...
Flowserve Pump Division MSX Series 2 non-clog submersible pump is driven directly by a motor. Flowserve Pump Division MSX Series 2 pumps have an internal cooling system, which makes them suitable for use in either wet or dry pit applications.
STOPPING Although the procedure for stopping may vary slightly with each installation, typically the driver is simply shut down. Flowserve Pump Division - 20...
WARNING: MOTORS NAMEPLATED CLASS 1, DIVISION1, GROUP C & D MUST BE SERVICED BY CERTIFIED FLOWSERVE PUMP DIVISION SERVICE PERSONNEL. THIS INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO SERVICE ON THE ROTOR, STATOR, BEARINGS, CABLE, CABLE GLANDS AND GROMMETS. SERVICE BY PERSONS...
Impeller and Casing Disconnect power from the motor. Use lifting bail and chain to remove the pump from wet pit. Transport pump to a Flowserve Pump Division approved service shop. CAUTION: TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT THE PUMP DURING TRANSPORTATION. Remove bolts holding the adapter plate to the pump casing. Draw out the pump rotating assembly complete with the motor.
BEARING REMOVAL OR INSTALLATION MUST ONLY BE DONE BY PERSONS QUALIFIED AND AUTHORIZED BY FLOWSERVE PUMP DIVISION. AUTHORIZATION CAN BE OBTAINED BY ATTENDING A FLOWSERVE PUMP DIVISION SERVICE SCHOOL FOR MSX SERIES 2 PUMPS. Carefully examine all individual parts, important joints and all wearing surfaces as the pump and rotor are dismantled.
The fluid should be checked again 2-3 weeks later. If the fluid has become discolored or milky the seal should be replaced. Flowserve Pump Division recommends Royal Purple Barrier Fluid GT22 as the replacement fluid. Contact an authorized service person for replacement cooling fluid.
BEARINGS MSX Series 2 pumps are furnished with grease-lubricated bearings, which are sealed for life. Proper grease lubrication is very important. Anti-friction bearings can be over-greased as well as under-greased. Any time maintenance is performed on the bearings, they should be repacked with grease, and the bearing chamber should be filled approximately 75% full.
