UCP Features The Finish Thompson UCP is a sealless, magnetically driven, ANSI dimensional, ETFE lined, chemical pump. It has been specifically designed for corrosive chemical applications in a wide range of industrial services. The UCP features a closed impeller, suction straightening vanes, balanced axial thrust with a rear sealing ring, balance holes and balanced radial thrust due to the modified concentric volute shape.
Minimum Allowable Flow Rate Do not allow the flow rate to drop below the minimum flow rate listed in the chart below. Use the first five or six characters from the model number listed on label found on the motor adapter. Minimum gpm @ Minimum m /hr @...
Pumps without Motors: Carefully place the motor on a suitable, level work surface (a nonmagnetic surface is preferred). Make sure the work surface is free of metal chips or particles. Ensure you have the correct UCP outer drive which are black in color. Coat the motor shaft with anti-seize paste.
Slide the motor adapter over the shaft adapter and secure the motor face using hex head bolts (Items 30 & 31) and lock washers. See figure 3. Torque the hex head bolts to the following values: A. 145TC 3/8-16 bolt: 15 ft-lbs (20.3 N-m) B.
Base plate The base plate of the UCP must be placed on the foundation using two sets of wedges or shims. These shims should be placed on each side of the foundation bolts. Provide enough clearance for proper grouting. Remove any water or other debris from the anchor bolt holes prior to grouting. Carefully lower the base plate onto the foundation bolts.
Motor/Electrical Only qualified personnel trained in the safe installation and operation of this equipment should install the motor. Install the motor according to National Electric Code, NEMA MG-2, IEC standards requirements and/or applicable local electrical codes. The voltage and frequency variations of the power supply should never exceed the limits established in the applicable standard.
CAUTION: Water hammer. Rapid changes in the fluid’s velocity can cause large, sudden pressure surges. These pressure surges can damage the pump, plumbing and instrumentation. Common causes are rapidly closing valves. Check valves on the suction can also cause water hammer if the liquid has time to reverse direction before the valve closes. Shutdown Use the following procedures to shut the pump down.
Remove the impeller assembly and the shaft from the casing. See figure 13. CAUTION: The shaft and impeller can be damaged if dropped. Disassembly - Power End (motor side) figure 13 WARNING: This pump should only be disassembled and assembled using the recommended procedures.
Check for signs of deformation or melting in the shaft support (item 3) and the barrier liner where the pump shaft is positioned. Dry running the pump during its initial start-up or operation can cause heat-related damage to these components. Inspect the casing liner.
Rear Sealing Ring The rear sealing ring (item 8A) is located in the rear bore of the barrier assembly (item 8). Removal Place barrier (item 8) on a table with open side facing up. Remove rear sealing ring by cutting it with a #18 straight edge X-Acto knife or similar blade & gently cut through the ring.
Replacement Place drive flat onto either the top or bottom surface. Install new bushing retaining rings by opening them slightly and installing in the groove on the busing. The wide end of the ring should face away from the square of the bushing. See figure 30. Line up the square on the bushing with the square of the impeller drive Using a plastic arbor approximately 1”...
Power End Reassembly See section Assembly of Pumps without Motors, steps 1-7. Pump End Reassembly Take the pump casing (item 1) and lay it suction side down on a clean flat surface. See figure 39. Carefully place the impeller and impeller drive assembly (items 4, 4A, 4B, 5, 5A, 5B) inside the pump casing with the impeller facing down.
