The safety valves (not shown) are installed in the hydraulic reservoir of the pump and are
adjusted to the maximum operating pressure of the pump.
The membrane positioning valve (Figure 2, components H41 to H47) secures the pressure-
compensated bowl-shaped membrane in its front and rear end positions.
The hydraulic reservoir contains the hydraulic fluid (hydraulic oil or emulsion).

The HMQ drive end consists of a motor whose output speed is decreased by a V- belt drive
and
a reduction gear. The reduction gear has an eccentric drive.
Located on the eccentric drive are two eccentric rods which move the two pistons in their
cylinder linings via crossheads.
Since the HMQ is a quadruple piston membrane pump, this means there are two pump cylin-
ders
(each with one piston), four membrane housings, four suction valves and four discharge
valves.
The pistons and membranes do not carry out their respective suction and discharge
strokes simultaneously but at a staggered sequence, with an angle of 90° between the cranks.
In this way the quadruple pump is capable of low-pulsation pumping.

When the pump performs its suction stroke, the membrane (3) follows a suction stroke as well.
This creates a partial vacuum in the pump housing (5) causing the suction side valve (6) to
open and product flows into the pump housing. The discharge side valve (4) is closed during
this time.

2.3.4 Mechanical membrane positioning valve (Figure 7 and 8, see also Figure 2)
The end positioning of the membranes is controlled by so-called valve- or control- rods (1).
These rods are installed at the back of the membranes and run in a bushing (2) in the
cylinder chamber (3).
The hydraulic reservoirs (4) are cast onto the pump cylinders (8). Two check valves (5a, 5b)
– one acts as a compensating valve and the other as an overflow valve – are installed in the
hydraulic reservoir (4). In principle both check valves (5) remain inactive unless the membrane
(6)
threatens to go beyond its end-positions. Should the membrane (6) reach its front- end posi-
tion,
but the corresponding delivery piston (7) has not reached the end position, the valve rod (1)
- it moves synchronously with the membrane - will open the bypass valve (5a) and the hydrau-
lic
fluid will flow into the hydraulic reservoir (4). As a result, the membrane (6) does not get
overstretched or broken.

During a suction stroke, the rear membrane end position is secured by the compensating
valve (5b).
In the course of time hydraulic fluid escapes from the cylinder chamber (3), e.g. into the hy-
draulic
reservoir (4) if the bypass valve (5b) has been activated, or into the lantern chamber via the
stuffing box packing. During a suction stroke it is therefore possible that there is a lack of
hydraulic fluid in the cylinder chamber (3).
To avoid the membrane (6) from being damaged due to permanently working at its extreme
back-end
position, the valve rod (1) will open the compensating valve (5b). The partial vacuum in the cyl-
inder
causes the compensating valve (5b) to open and hydraulic fluid is released from the hydraulic
reservoir (4) to refill the cylinder chamber (3).

for the main motor 003) is off.
- Oil circulating lubrication motor 3 kW off (005)
Local Mode: - The mode switch on the Abel display panel must be in
position “Local”.
- The booster pump has to be running or the suction pressure has
to be min. 1 bar before starting the Abel-Pump.
- The start signal comes from the start button in the Abel-Display
panel near the pump (Abel-Display panel must be connected with
the main control panel( delivered by others).
- The main control system will get the release signal to start the oil
circulating lubrication motor 3 kW(005), the oil pump(006) which
is mounted on the oil circulating lubrication motor starts to work.
- If the min. oil pressure, controlled by the pressure sensor
PAL 009(>4 bar) is reached in a certain time (10 seconds), the
main control system will get the release signal to start the fre-
quency converter and the main motor M001
- The main motor M001and the fan motor for the main motor 003
starts up via a set ramp time (60-120 sec.) at the frequency con-
verter. The ramp setting is process oriented, for example de-
pendent of the length of the discharge pipe or other process pa-
rameters.
- If the main motor is running and the run message to Abel PLC
was sent, the solenoide air valve Y1 on the suction dampener
er(electrical drawing BEL 1040 page 8 of 20) has to be
ON(24V) at the whole time the pump is in operation. If the pump
stops, the solenoid will be OFF.
Remote Mode: - The start signal comes from the plant control room (main control
system). The mode switch on the Abel display panel must be in
position “Remote”.
- The booster pump has to be running or the suction pressure has
to be min. 1 bar before starting the Abel-Pump.
- The main control system will get the release signal to start the oil
circulating lubrication motor 3 kW(005), the oil pump(006) which

the temperature on TAH004 is less than 70°C, the
main control system will get the release signal to start the fre-
quency converter and the main motor M001.
- The main motor M001 and the fan motor for the main motor 003
starts up via a set ramp time (60-120 sec.) at the frequency con-
verter. The ramp setting is process oriented, for example de-
pendent of the length of the discharge pipe or other process pa-
rameters.
- If the main motor is running and the run message to Abel PLC
was sent, the solenoide air valve Y1 on the suction dampener
(electrical drawing BEL1040 page 8 of 20) has to be
ON(24V) at the whole time the pump is in operation. If the pump
stops, the solenoid will be OFF.
Shut-down of the pump: - The start signal will be cancelled by the main control system or
by the emergency stop button on the display panel.
- The booster pump have to stop together with the main motor of
the Abel-Pump .
- The main motor M001 is switched off via the frequency converter
with the actual setting. If stop by coasting is required, the motor
will follow this setting. If the ramp function is set, the motor will
slow down in set ramp time (60-120 sec.) and after an additional
certain time (min. 20 sec.) the oil circulating lubrication motor 3
kW (005) and the fan motor for the main motor 003 will be
switched off. If the main motor M001 stops due to the internal
termistor control, the fan motor has to run till as the termistor con-
trol stops the fan motor. The solenoide air valve Y1 on the suc-
tion dampener (electrical drawing BEL1040 page 8 of 20) has to
be OFF if the pump stops.

All this will be controlled by Abel Display Panel. From here we transfer the error and control mas-
sages to the main control panel of the customer. Please see the attached “List of Signals” we
transfer between Abel display panel and customer main control panel.
Start-up procedure - The start signal comes from the plant control room (main control
system). The mode switch on the Abel display panel must be in
position “Remote”.
- The booster pump has to be running or the suction pressure has
to be min. 1 bar before starting the Abel-Pump.
- The main control system will get the release signal to start the oil
circulating lubrication motor 3 kW(005), the oil pump(006) which
is mounted on the oil circulating lubrication motor starts to work.
- If the min. oil pressure, controlled by the pressure sensor
PAL 009(>4 bar) is reached in a certain time (10 seconds), the
main control system will get the release signal to start the fre-
quency converter and the main motor M001.
- The main motor M001 and the fan motor for the main motor 003
starts up via a set ramp time (60-120 sec.) at the frequency con-
verter. The ramp setting is process oriented, for example: de-
pendent of the length of the discharge pipe or other process pa-
rameters.
- If the main motor is running and the run message to Abel PLC
was sent, the solenoide air valve Y1 on the suction dampener
(electrical drawing BEL1040 page 8 of 20) has to be
ON(24V) at the whole time the pump is in operation. If the pump
stops, the solenoid will be OFF.
The custumer control cabinet receives the following input-signals from Abel-Display panel:
Shut-down procedure: - The start signal will be cancelled by the main control system or
by the emergency stop button on the display panel.
- The booster pump have to stop together with the main motor of
the Abel-Pump .
- The main motor M001 is switched off via the frequency converter
with the actual setting. If stop by coasting is required, the motor
will follow this setting. If the ramp function is set, the motor will
slow down in set ramp time (60-120 sec.) and after an additional
certain time (min. 20 sec.) the oil circulating lubrication motor 3
kW (005) and the fan motor for the main motor 003 will be
switched off. If the main motor M001 stops due to the internal
termistor control, the fan motor has to run till as the termistor con-
trol stops the fan motor. The solenoide air valve Y1 on the suc-
tion dampener (electrical drawing BEL1040 page 8 of 20) has to
be OFF if the pump stops.
- The basic setting of the pump control system is restored.
STARTING THE PUMP AFTER A 12 HR SHUT DOWN (WITH ASH SLURRY IN THE LINE)
If, for any reason whatsoever, the pump has to be stopped with ash slurry in the discharge pipe-
line and the duration before re-starting exceeds 30 minutes (upto a max of 12 hours), the follow-
ing procedure should be adopted while doing a re-start:
1. In case there is slurry in the mixing tank, please ensure that the flushing water connection
on the suction side is opened for feeding the pump. Do not take slurry into the pump until
normal operation is restored.
2. Do not run the system on automatic. Change to manual operation and start running the
HCSD pump motor at minimum rpm (10%).
3. Once the pump starts putting fresh water into the discharge line, monitor the discharge
pressure closely. If this is seen gradually rising, then ensure that the rpm is not increased
until the time that you see the discharge pressure fall.
4. Once the pressure is seen to fall, increase the rpm to, say 20%. Once again, observe the
discharge pressure and wait until the time you see the discharge pressure fall before rais-
ing the rpm to 30%.
5. This procedure is to be repeated until the pump reaches its normal running speed and
then the water can be shut down and slurry to the pump can be re-started.
6. In case, during any of the above steps, the pressure continues to rise and does not fall
(even when the pump reaches its maximum operating pressure), it indicates a block in the
pipeline. This block will finally get “blown off” if the pump maintains the high pressure con-
stantly.
The ABEL type gearbox with two-stage helical-gear reduction, eccentric rods, and
crossheads is equipped with pressure lubrication when the ABEL pump it drives is in-
tended to be speed regulated.
The gearwheels run directly in the oil bath. An oil pump supplies the gear meshing,
gearwheel shaft, eccentric rod bearings, and crosshead slides with oil. The gearwheel
shaft bearings (selfaligning roller bearings) are isolated from the gearbox oil and are
provided with permanent lubrication.
a) Standard
- oil pump
- oil distribution tube (`oil manifold')
- oil pressure switch
When the pump control starts, immediately before startup of the ABEL pump, the oil
pump starts up 006 with motor 005. It pumps the gearbox oil out of the gearbox
housing and builds up the necessary oil pressure. The oil distribution tube inside the
gearbox housing ensures that the gearbox oil is fed directly to the sites requiring lu-
brication. This ensures the necessary lubrication even when the number of strokes is
small.
If the oil pressure drops below the pressure set at the oil pressure switch (009-for in-
stance, because of a failure of the oil pump), a signal is given and/or the ABEL pump
is shut off.

6. Functional Description Air Charge System and control for Suction Flow Stabilizer
To provide for optimum pulsation dampening during pumping, it is essential to have
large air cushions in the suction flow stabilizer of the pump. Compressed air has to be
delivered by other according to the following sepecification:
Purity class 3 to DIN ISO 8573-1
Quantity max. 30l/min.
Pressure 4-6 bar
For this purpose an air charge fitting is mounted on the suction flow stabilizer. The fit-
ting consists of a 2/2-way fine regulation solenoid valve, a check valve and a pressure
reducer with filter. The pressure reducer will set the air pressure to max . 4-6 bar if the
pressure in the plant installation is higher than 6 bar.
If the main motor is running and the run message to Abel PLC was sent, the solenoide air
valve Y1 (024) on the suction dampener (electrical drawing BEL0926 page 9 of 12) has to
be ON(24V) at the whole time the pump is in operation. If the pump stops, the solenoid will
be OFF.
This functional description is based on dimensional drawing ET11600. The Level probe Pos. 2 is
screwed in the pulsation dampener. The power supply to the level probe is provided by the cus-
tomer. The air charge device is connected by screw connection Pos. 17 to the compressed air
supply. Therefore it is necessary that compressed air pressure is above operating pressure of the
pump. The compressed air pressure is reduced by a pressure reduce valve. You can use dry
non-oleaginous compressed air as damping medium. The supply (Compressed air & supply volt-
age for the electrical components) should be available also when the pump is not running.
During pump operation the air cap inside the pulsation dampener is monitored according to a
preset value at the level probe. If during operation compressed air dissipates from the pulsation
dampener, this is detected by the level probe and Solenoid valve Pos. 13 is kept open until opti-
mum charging level has been renewed. As soon as this is done, Solenoid valve Pos. 13 is closed
again by the level probe.
The air cap inside the discharge pulsation dampener is charged up to the existing compressed-air
system pressure directly.
The compressor includes pressure bottles which get automatically filled by the compressor when
a certain minimum pressure is achieved in the bottles. The filling process stops automatically
when a certain max. pressure value is achieved.
The air pipe connections between compressor, pressure bottles and discharge dampener have to
be installed by customer.
The compressor has to be installed in a closed room with more than 5 °C over the year according
to the compressor specification.
For suction side a separate low pressure compression system must be used (available at site
normally).
We recommend to use one compressor with a 4 bottle battery for operation with 2 pumps. For 70
bar operating pressure the pump can start 6 times with one load of bottles without loading the
bottles by compressor.
