Fotlow vendor in- structions for all other components of the pump system Requirements Prior to shipment the pump and its compo- ents are prepared for outside storage. The following adci- tional requirements should be followed by the customer. 1. Store off ground on skids or cribbing so that no water will accumulate around the unit 2. Protect pump and attachments with a vinyl-coated ny- Jon tarpaulin. Lash tarp evenly to provide drainage that oes not form pools.

Foundation bolt Fig 4 Hooked foundation bolt Site install near fluid source. Allow adequate space for operation, maintenance, and inspection, Design The foundation must give adequate system sup- port and meet external piping requirements. The foundation ‘must also inhibit vibration. Reinforced concrete is the most satisfactory foundation. When the pump base is mounted on steel or a similar struc tural foundation, it should be set directly over or as near as, possible to supporting beams or walis. Provide adequate Support to prevent misalignment caused by yielding or springing of structure or base. The outline drawing provides pump base hold-down dimen- sions necessary for foundation design Base piate-foundation Construct a template to position the hold-down bolts to match the base plate hold-cown holes shown on the outline drawing. The template should be rigid enough to hold foundation bolt assemblies in place ‘during the foundation pour. Each foundation bolt should be surrounded bye pipe sleeve with an inside diameter approximately three times bolt ameter. By doing this, the pipe is hela solidly in concrete While allowing later minor bolt adjustment, ‘The bolts should extend above the top of the pipe sleeves far enough to allow 1 to 2 in, (2.5-6.1 cm) of grouting between the base piate bottom and foundation. ‘Tack-weld bolts. washers, and pipe together before install- ing on the template. Pack rags or stuffing around bolts to center within the sleeves Hooked foundation bolts are useful for installation on exis!- ing construction, or where the pier height is limited. This type of bolt has greater mechanical hold capability and is, fess sensitive to vibration, After the foundation has cured, remove water and foreign “materiel fromthe foundation bolt sleeves and dry entire foundation. {tis essential that the concrete be fully cured before mount- ing the base plate.

Remove any drying agents. © ALIGNMENT Check that alignment has been done © CONNECTIONS Check bolted flange connections and plugs. © PIPING Inspect piping for correct installation © SEAL Check that mechanical seal is set and gland nuts are properly tightened, or packing is properly in- stalled. © BINDING Be sure shatt rotates freely. © DRIVER, COUPLING Be certain driver and coupling is installed according to manufacturers instructions. © LUBE Check lubrication system for correct oil level * CONTROLS Note valves and other controls are mn start-up position. * INSTRUMENTATION Check instrumentation connec tions ang controls. Caution Betore starting any centrifugal pump. the pump and suction piping must be completely filles with liquid. This liquid provides lubrication to the rotating parts, Damage can be caused ifthe pump is operated dry Coolant and lube systems Activate any supplied coolant and lubrication systems. Caution Bleed all air from seal circulation pip- ing. Prevent seal damage caused by absence of liquid OILPUMP PRIMING Anoil pump located above the reser- Voir oil level (driven by serviced equipment shaft) requires, priming upon initial start-up and after maintenance cise: ‘sembly. Wet the oll pump rotor by pouring oll directiy into a nearby capped oil line fill point. PRESSURE LUBRICATION A pressure lubrication sys- tem will have been flushed, filled with operational lubricant, then run fortwo hours before starting the equipment that is serviced by the lubrication system. See PRESSURE LUBRI- CATION SYSTEM FLUSH.Start-up Checks, Adjustments. Operation 37 Caution Pump should produce pressure at dis charge es soon as rated operating speed is reached. If not, shut down immediately. Caution Do not operate against a closed dis- charge valve or below recommended fiow. Caution Never attempt to control pump output by throttling the suction vaive. Use of suction valve as a throttle causes cavitation damage. Bypass Operation at reduced flow may require a bypass line. Consult e Bingham-Willamette representative. Shutdown The pump should be shut down rapidly to pre vent internal parts from running dry. Turbine-driven units must be shut down rapidly. I possible, manually trip the turbine overspeed trip switch. Vibration Shut the pump system down immediately it normal API vibration limits are exceeded. Use Hydraulic Institute Standards, fatest edition, if API Standard 610 or a specific contractual vibration level does not apply. See ALIGNMENT and TROUBLESHOOTING. Leakage Periodically check for leakage at the stutfingbox. Mechanical seal leakage indicates wear or damage. Watch for leakage al suction and discharge piping and auxit- lary piping Packing ring leakage Permit leakage of 80-100 dropseach minute during the first 10-15 minutes of operation. leakage slows, loosen gland nuts to keep leakage rate constant. Gland temperature will level off, then drop slightly when packing run in is complete. Now tighten gland nuts about one-sixth turn (one flat) every five minutes until leakage is minimized. Caution A steady “minimized” leakage must be ‘maintained to lubricate the packing and prevent burning, 11 gland heats excessively (viz, will boil water) loosen gland nuts and repeat run in until temperature stays down after Gland nuts are retightened, ll temp, tevel_ Monitor bearing oil temperature and level. See BEARING LUBRICATION. If oil temperature at bear- ings exceeds maximum allowable, shut unit down imme- diately. Check oil level often during initial start-up, less often as confidence is established. When there is no level alarm, check oil level every 24 hours minimum during initial start- up. Oll pressure Monitor oil pressure of units equipped with & pressure lubrication system. Adjust the pressure relief valve ‘or control valve as required for correct pressure to the bear ings.ws Maintenance Record/Analyze Before Disassembly. Performance record An ongoing performance record will assist troubleshooting and pump service decisions. Long shutdowns and unnecessary expense can be avoided Pressure indicators can be instalied into tapped openings in the suction and discharge nozzles to provide much of the data required for performance analysis, Periodic vibration recordings are necessary to diagnose excessive vibration levels. Troubleshooting Analyze performance before disassem- bly. A problem could be corrected externally without disas- ‘sembling the pump. A performance record will help narrow the possible causes, and determine whether the problem is mechanical or hydraulic. Hydraulic problems typically originate in the suction sys- tem. Control misadjustments should be eliminated, see OPERATION, before further troubleshooting Mechanical and hydraulic problems often are interrelated and the source can be difficult to trace.
