3.2 System design and installation 3. Installation Step 1 When designing the pumping system: - Confirm the Net Positive Suction Head requirements of the Discharge line pump (NPSHr) are met by the system, as this is crucial for ensuring the smooth operation of the pump and preventing cavitation. - Avoid suction lifts and manifold/common suction lines for two pumps running in parallel, as this may cause vibration or cavitation. - Protect the pump against blockage from hard solid Plan view objects

3. Installation 3.3 Flushed seal arrangements and pre-start up checks Step 1 A flushed seal arrangement is fitted in order to cool or clean the seal area. It is important that: - The flush is correctly connected (see below). - A compatible flushing fluid is used and supplied at the correct pressure and flow rate. - The flush is turned on at the same time/prior to starting the pump, and turned off at the same time/after stopping the pump. Step 2 Connecting the flush The following equipment is str

3.3 Flushing seal arrangement 3. Installation and pre-start up checks Step 4 Flushing fluid The choice of flushing fluid is dependent upon the fluid being pumped and duty conditions i.e. pressure and temperature. Usually water is used for cooling or flushing water soluble products. For advice on selecting a suitable flushing fluid please contact pump supplier. Step 5 Flusing pressure and flow rate Single mechanical seal 0.5 bar (7 psi) maximum. Any further increase in pressure will result in lip

4. Maintenance 4.1 Cleaning in place (CIP) The pump can be manually cleaned or cleaned in place (CIP). The following is an example of a typical CIP procedure. However specific advice for each application should be sought from the pump supplier. Typical CIP procedure 1. Flush through the system with cold water or bore water (6°) (43°F). 2. Run hot caustic soda (70-80°C) (158-176°F) at 2.5% dilution through the system for 20-30 minutes. 3. Final flush through with cold water again. Warnings - Neve

4.2 Maintenance schedule 4. Maintenance It is advisable to install pressure gauges on both sides of the pump so that any problems within the pump/pipework can be monitored. Maintenance schedule Your weekly schedule should include: - Checking the oil level in the gearcase with the pump stationary. - Checking the seals for leakage and replacing as necessary. - Checking the oil seals for leakage. - Check pumping pressures. In certain operational circumstances the pump will pose a thermal hazard and

4. Maintenance 4.3 Disassembly Step 1 Before disassembling the pump refer to safety precautions. See exploded view drawings (chapter 6). Removing rotorcase cover Remove rotorcase cover nuts (13) and cover (12). Step 2 Removing rotors 1. Insert a plastic/wooden block between the two rotors (17) to stop them turning. 2. Remove rotor retention nuts (22) and rotors. Pump models S6 rotors are retained by torque locking assemblies, TLA’s (19) and can be removed by: - Loosening each TLA screw in severa

4.3 Disassembly 4. Maintenance Step 5 Removing seal retainers 1. Remove screws (15). 2. Then remove seal retainers (14) - as a liquid sealant has been used a lever may be required to remove retainers. 3. The lip seals (16) can be removed using a screwdriver/ lever once the seal retainers are removed. It is essential to renew the lip seals and it is recommended that new gaskets or sealant be used prior to reassembly. Step 6 Removing Gearcase Cover 1. Remove screws (6). 2. Remove gearcase cover (5
