Planning the installation

3.1

Piping system

• Note the arrows on the pump branches

indicating the direction of flow.

• Choose nominal widths of the pipelines

according to the nominal widths of the pump branches or larger ones with the

corresponding reductions.

• Flange sealing must not protrude on the

inside.

• Ensure that the pipework is clean before

installing of the pump.

• Support the pipework in order to avoid

distortions at the pump components (risk of  damage to pump components)

• Avoid abrupt changes of cross section and

direction.

• Where different diameter pipework is to be

used, connection should be by eccentric transition pieces. This will avoid the formation of air pockets in the pipework.

• For difficult pumping on the suction side, to

stabilise the flow, a pipe length 15 times the diameter of the suction branch should be installed before the suction branch.

• The flow rate in the suction line or inflow line,

must not exceed 2 - 3 m/s.

3.1.1 Suction line / inflow line

See the sketches below for the optimum layout of  pump installation for flow and suction lift

operation.

positive suction head operation suction lift operation

Ensure that air pockets cannot be created.

Unequal nominal widths of the suction branch and suction line must be compensated by eccentric transition pieces.

Flow straightener 

Connection of eccentric pipe transitions It is recommended that a filter is installed in front of the pump with a filter surface of at least 3 times the pipe cross section (approx. 100 meshes/cm²). The suction opening of the suction line should be well below the liquid level, and a strainer should be used.

The strainer must be far enough from the bottom to avoid excessive inlet losses, which could impair  pumping performance. It is advisable to check that there is no leakage. ATTENTION 4 4 3 6 1 2 7

 A shut-off valve should be installed in the feed line. It must be closed for maintenance work. It should be installed in order to avoid air pockets forming in the spindle cap, i.e. with the spindle in a horizontal position or pointing vertically

downward.

The pump and the pump set, must have been unpacked and handled as described in Chapter 4.

5.2

Use of trained staff 

Only appropriately trained staff must undertake the work described in this chapter.

5.3

Safety measures

• Connect the pipework carefully to prevent the

pumped liquid escaping during operation and endangering operating personnel.

• Ensure that the suction or inflow line, and the

discharge line are closed by valves.

• Ensure that all electrical connections are

“dead”. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock.

• Pay attention to relevant internal plant

regulations.

• Avoid accidental contacts with hot

5.4

General information

5.4.1 Assembly tools

Special tools are not required for assembly and installation.

5.4.2 Permissible ambient conditions

The ambient temperature can be from -20 °C to +60 °C. The atmospheric humidity should be as low as possible in order to avoid corrosion.

5.4.3 Base, foundation

The pump must be installed on a flat floor or  foundation free from vibration. In case of doubt use vibration dampening feet.

The pump set must be correctly mounted on the foundations. To avoid distortion of the pump set and/or the foundation, parallel shims must be used between the base plate and foundation. Prior to installing, checks should be made with regard to:

- possible damage to the pump or the pump set that may occur in transit

- ease of running ( check that the shaft is free to rotate by hand )

- the foundation dimensions.

The following preparatory work must be carried out before to placing the pump:

- roughen and clean foundation surface - remove shuttering/cores from the anchor  holes

- blow the anchor holes clean

- check the position and dimensions of  the anchor holes against the arrangement drawing.

5.4.4 Installation of the set

The complete set mounted on the base plate must be placed on the foundation with its foundation (rag) bolts hanging below the baseplate.

5.4.5 Space required

The space required for the pump set is set out in the foundation plan or installation drawing.

Ensure easy access to the shut-off and regulation valves as well as to any measuring instruments.

5.4.6 Position

In principle the ZLND pumps are installed horizontally.

5.5

Motor  

Before assembly check the direction of rotation of  the motor (indicated by an arrow on the pump casing). If this is not possible the direction of  rotation of the complete unit can only be checked only if the pump is filled.

In any event, the operating instructions of the motor manufacturer must be followed, since the motor is generally incorporated by STERLING FLUID SYSTEMS into the pump set.

5.6 Alignment of the set

Place shims under the base plate on both sides of  the foundation bolts, 10 mm from the base plate edge. Use a spirit level to align the set.

If necessary, place shims between the foundation bolts to prevent the base plate from sagging. Care should be taken to minimize distortion of the base plate during installation. The location of the driver  must not be higher than that of the pump. The

max. deviation from the shaft centre line is ± 0.1

mm.

The foundation bolts should be embedded in concrete using quick-setting grout.

5.7

Coupling

Install the coupling avoiding hard blows, if  necessary in warm condition. Arrange the pump and motor on a level base. The shaft ends must be aligned exactly. The distance between each

half of the N-EUPEX B ( FLENDER ) coupling must be 2 - 3 mm (see fig.).

If other manufacturer’s couplings are used, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. After installation on the foundation and connecting the pipework, the coupling alignment must be checked and re-aligned, if necessary. Moreover, after reaching the operating temperature the alignment of the

coupling must be checked again.

The coupling requires a guard that meets DIN 31001 in order to avoid accidental contact during operation.

In any event, the operating instructions of the coupling manufacturer must be followed, since the

coupling is a component incorporated by Sterling

Fluid Systems.

ruler 

The following is required a = a1 and b = b1

5.8

Checking before installation

Before installing the pump on the plant, the following points must be checked:

1. is the electrical current to the drive motor  switched off?

2. are suction and discharge lines emptied and closed by valves?

3. Is it possible to rotate the pump easily by hand (for this purpose turn the fan of the motor or the coupling)?

4. Have the latest internal/plant instructions been observed?.

Mounting the pump and

installation into pipework

The following instructions must be carried out: 1. remove the protective covers from the pump

flanges and the auxiliary pipework connections.

2. correctly insert the flange seals. 3. connect the suction or feed line. 4. connect the discharge line

The pump must be aligned with the pipework. The pipework must be supported so that distortion cannot occur when connecting the pump.

5.10

Final work

The following final steps must be undertaken: 1. check the tightness of the connecting flanges. 2. check for easy running of the pump (for that

purpose turn the motor fan or the coupling). 3. check the coupling alignment.

4. install the coupling guard.

5.11 Hydrostatic pressure test

When subjecting the piping system to a

hydrostatic pressure test, exclude the pump from the pressure test.

If it is not possible to test the pipework without the pump, ensure that foreign material cannot enter  the pump.

•  The max. permissible pressure for a

pressure test is 1.3 times the nominal

pump pressure.

• The nominal pump pressure is indicated

6.3

Safety measures

• Electrical connections must be made

according to the European Regulations and Directives for the Standards in Industry and in compliance with the instructions of the local power supply utilities of the country

concerned.

• Only appropriately authorized personnel may

carry out this work.

  ATTENTION

• Fill the pump correctly; otherwise the shaft

seal could be destroyed.

• Fill the supply lines correctly.

• Check the direction of rotation only when the

pump is filled.

• Fill the pump slowly if hot media are being

pumped in order to avoid distortions or heat shock.

• When handling explosive, toxic, hot,

crystalline or corrosive media, ensure that there is no risk to people or the environment.

• Control the output at constant speed at the

discharge side only. The valve at the suction side must always be completely open during operation to avoid the risk of cavitation.

• If there is no bypass line, do not run the

pump with the control valve closed for any length of time.

• Safety measures should be taken by the

end user to ensure (for example by means of a relief valve) that the

permissible pump casing pressure is not exceeded during operation

• Repeat the alignment of the coupling at

operating temperature. Re-align the pump or the motor, if necessary.

6.4

Electrical connection

The motor must be connected at set out in the circuit diagram in the terminal box.

6.5

Checks before switching-on

Before switching on the pump unit, the following points should be checked:

1. is all pipework connected and are the unions tight?

2. is the pump including the pipework filled properly?

3. is the shut-off valve in the discharge line closed?

4. is the shut-off valve in the suction line completely opened?

5. is the motor ready for operation? 6. is the direction of rotation of the motor 

correct?

(check by running the motor for a short time) 7. is the coupling aligned exactly?

8. has the shaft seal been installed?

9. are the supply lines, if any, to the shaft seal open?

10. in the case of oil lubrication - has the bearing housing been correctly filled with oil?

6.6

Start-up operation

For starting proceed as follows:

1. open fully the valve on the suction side 2. close the valve on the discharge side 3. switch on the motor 

4. check the pressure gauges at the pressure measuring points

If the pumping pressure does not increase

consistently with increasing speed, switch off the motor again and vent the pump one more.

5. After reaching operating speed, regulate the operating point of the pump by adjusting the valve in the discharge line (see technical data for permissible range of operation).

6. For “running in” the packing, the gland should be tightened only slightly (even in the case of  considerable leakage initially). After approx. 30 minutes tighten the gland to such an extent that it leaks only slightly. Check it several times, until leakage from the packing is about 20 to 40 drops a minute. In extreme operating conditions and high temperatures this rate may be higher.

Pumping against a closed valve in the discharge line is permitted only if a minimum output via a bypass line is guaranteed.

� (Sterling Fluid Systems) 2001 - shaft seal

Executions with stuffing box:

For correct operation of the shaft seal a slight leakage (20 - 40 drops per minute) is essential. If  the leakage is reduced too much by retightening the packing, it will be destroyed.

If the pump is equipped with code 052 or code 051, the supply lines to the stuffing box have to be open before the pump is started.

Executions with mechanical seal:

During running-in slight leakage may occur. If the pump is equipped with an external flush, quench or heating, the flush, quench or heating supply has to be switched on before the pump is started. The mechanical seal must be allowed to cool before the next re-start.

ATTENTION

For executions with stuffing box: If the leakage increases considerably and cannot be adjusted by retightening the gland, the packing is worn and must be replaced by a new one.

For executions with mechanical seal: If the initial leakage does not disappear within 5 minutes of  operation, stop the pump, dismantle the seal and check for damage of the seal faces and auxiliary sealing.

6.9

Shutting-down

Before shutting down close the valve on the discharge side.

 After shutting down, all valves may be closed. The valves of the auxiliary pipework connections, (quench, heating, external flush, code 052, code 051), have to be closed in the last place.

If there is a risk of very low ambient temperatures, remove the pump and then drain it using the threaded plug 90.30.

When handling explosive, toxic, hot, crystalline or  corrosive media, ensure that people and the environment are not endangered. Even if the pump has been drained using the threaded plug 90.30, residues can remain in the pump. For  transport, the pump must be free from any

dangerous material. In case of extended periods out of service, protect the pump against corrosion.

7.4

Maintenance and inspection

The pump requires only limited maintenance.

7.4.1 Bearing with grease lubrication

The pumps with bearing brackets 25, 35 and 45 use an antifriction bearing, lubricated for service life, on the drive side and on the pump side. The pumps with bearing brackets 55 and 65 must be greased through grease nipples 63.60.

Grease lubrication:

The bearings receive their first engreasing at the supplier plant.

Grease amount per ball bearing:

bearing housing 55: (shaft end diameter at the

driving side 50 mm) 30 gramme

bearing housing 65: (shaft end diameter at the

driving side 60 mm) 40 gramme

lubrication low activity middle and high intervals activity

for grease n ≤ 1500 1/min 1500 < n ≤ 3000 1/min lubrication every 5000 hours every 2500 hours

at the latest after 12 months

 After about 10000 hours of activity or the latest after two years, the bearings have to be disassembled, washed and refilled with grease. Under extremely unfavourable circumstances (wet or dusty environment or high temperatures of the environment) the lubrication intervals have to be chosen considerably shorter.

For renewing or adding lubrication grease, only lithium soap bearing grease have to be utilised (e.g. Mobilux 2, Shell Aero Grease 16, Esso Unirex N3).

Bearing with oil lubrication

The pump is supplied empty (no oil). Before the initial start up, pour oil into the oil inlet hole until the oil level reaches the mark on the dipstick.

Oil drainage Oil filling

Constant level oiler 

 As an additional accessory, it is possible to connect a constant level oiler. In this case, the bearing support must be filled with oil through the oil inlet hole, until the oil is visible in the screw-in elbow, the oil reservoir having been removed. Subsequently the oil reservoir should be filled with oil and put into its correct position.

The bearing housing will be supplied with oil from the constant level oiler with the correct amount as long as there is oil in the reservoir.

See sketch of oiling system below 1. Oil reservoir 

2. Screw-in elbow 3. Fill in oil here

4. Never fill with oil here, always use the oil inlet hole.

Oil change intervals

If the bearings are new, change the oil after about 200 hours and subsequently annually. These intervals only apply if the bearing temperature does not exceed 50 ºC. If the bearing temperature during operation is above 50 ºC but below 80 ºC and/or if there is danger of contamination, the oil should be renewed about every six months. Oil properties:

7.4.3 Stuffing box

If leakage makes it necessary, the packing rings should be retightened. After extended periods and frequent retightening, the packing rings gradually lose their shape and elasticity. We therefore recommend replacing the packing material at regular intervals. As a typical indication, after an operating time of approx. 2500 hours or when the gland has been retightened by approximately half  the width of a packing ring.

Repacking

When repacking, the stuffing box rings used up, as well as, the lantern ring are to be removed carefully from the shaft seal chamber. The shaft and shaft protection sleeve must not be

damaged.

Otherwise perfect sealing cannot be guaranteed and the shaft sleeve would then need replacing. If the pump is installed, cut soft packing rings diagonally, bend them in a spiral shape, position them on the pump shaft and bend them carefully into a ring form.

Push the packing rings as well as the lantern ring by means of the gland into the shaft seal

chamber. The cut joints should be staggered by 180°. Tighten the nuts at the gland steadily until resistance is felt when rotating the pump shaft by hand. Remove the gland again and fasten the nuts slightly. If the pump is removed in order to carry out repacking, it is useful to push the packing rings in the delivered condition, that means closed over the shaft sleeve.

Post dismantling activities

7.6.1 Hints for cleaning.

• Clean all parts.

• Clean the clearances and sealing surfaces

with an appropriate liquid.

7.6.2 Points to be checked

The following pump components, if installed, must be checked:

• Mechanical seal : If the running faces are

damaged or worn, replace the mechanical seal.

• Shaft and shaft sleeve : Check the shaft

within the stuffing box. If the shaft has worn badly and is grooved, a new shaft or shaft sleeve should be used.

• Clearances : The difference in diameter 

between impeller clearance area and casing or cover clearance area should be 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm. In the case of excessive wear in the clearance area, wear rings must be installed.

• Radial seal ring : If the radial seal ring is

damaged, it must be replaced.
