INTRODUCTION

This instruction book provides information for the proper installation,

operation and maintenance of the U.S. Filter/Wallace & Tiernan (USF/
W&T) Chemtube® 200 Diaphragm Metering Pump.

DESCRIPTION

The Chemtube® 200 Diaphragm Metering Pump provides accurate meter-

ing and transfer of a wide variety of chemicals and is available in three
piston sizes, three speeds, and simplex or double simplex versions.

The liquid end uses two diaphragms. A flat disc diaphragm and tubular
diaphragm form a sealed intermediate chamber between the process fluid
(inside the tubular diaphragm) and the hydraulic fluid (inside the piston
displacement cylinder). The liquid surrounding the tubular diaphragm is a
distilled water/propylene glycol mixture (50/50) and is compatible with
most process fluids. There are no mechanical connections between the two
diaphragms and the pump drive. Both diaphragms are hydraulically bal-
anced during pump operation. The disc diaphragm is driven by hydraulic
fluid which is driven by the pump piston. The piston causes the liquid in the
intermediate chamber to displace the tubular diaphragm and create pump-
ing action with each stroke of the piston.

The pump features built-in adjustable, absolute pressure relief and car-
tridge type valves for ease of service. A non-adjustable differential pres-
sure valve limits the pressure difference across the flat diaphragm. A loss-
of-motion stroke adjustment and a seal-less reciprocating piston are also
included. Available accessories are an electric stroke positioner, sight flow
indicators, backpressure valves, pulsation dampener and dc speed control-
ler with speed display.

WARNING: TO AVOID POSSIBLE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY

! OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE
INSTALLED, OPERATED AND SERVICED ONLY BY TRAINED,
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL WHO ARE THOROUGHLY FAMIL-
IAR WITH THE ENTIRE CONTENTS OF THIS INSTRUCTION
BOOK.

1.2 High Pressure Effects on Capacity

This pump has been designed to provide a high degree of repeatability

throughout a wide range of pressures. The capacity that can be expected
is nearly that of theoretical displacement. As discharge pressure increases,
a small decrease in capacity can be expected, approximately 1.0 to 3% per
100 psi.

For best results, an on-site calibration of the pump should be performed at

system pressure.

2.1 Unpacking

When unpacking, check all items against the packing list to prevent dis-
carding parts with packing material. Whenever possible, unpack the equip-
ment at the installation site.

2.2 Location

Sufficient space should be provided around the pump to allow for routine
maintenance. The pump must be accessible to a suitable power supply and
located so that the discharge line may be conveniently run to the point of
application. A flooded suction installation is preferred for simplicity of
piping and for priming consideration, however the pump will operate under
limited suction lift conditions (three feet) also.

2.3 Mounting

WARNING: PUMP IS UNSTABLE AND WILL TIP IF NOT

! BOLTED TO A SUITABLE BASE. TO AVOID POSSIBLE SE-
VERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT,
CARE MUST BE TAKEN DURING HANDLING AND INSTAL-
LATION.

Care should be exercised to ensure that the pump is leveled and that the
base is bolted to an adequately substantial foundation.

2.4 Electrical Connection (See Dwg. 430.550.131.010)

Connect a power supply of the characteristics specified on the motor

nameplate in conformance with local electrical requirements. Be sure to
provide a shut-off switch in the power supply. Overload protection must
also be provided. For SCR drive and electric positioner, refer to separate
instruction books provided with that equipment.

NOTE: Field wiring must conform to local electrical codes.

2.5 Motor Rotation

The pump worm shaft can rotate in either direction.

IM 430.550AA UA (B/2-01) 12
 ®
CHEMTUBE 200

2.6 Piping

• GENERAL

CAUTION: Piping material must be compatible with the fluid being

! pumped. Piping rating must be selected to withstand the maximum
system pressure and temperature.

a. See the Typical Installation drawings (Dwgs. 430.550.111.010 and

.020) for general piping layouts and valve recommendations.

b. Piping should be supported properly to avoid placing undue strain

on the pump.

c. If hot liquids are to be pumped, provision for piping expansion

must be made.

d. When using PVC pipe, do not route pipe through cold areas where
the liquid can freeze or the pipe can become brittle.

e. A pulsation dampener to reduce pressure peaks, will minimize

vibration and wear.

f. Prior to final installation of the pump, lines should be blown or

flushed clean.

g. A shut-off valve should be provided in the discharge and suction

lines to permit servicing the liquid ends.

• SUCTION PIPING

a. Suction piping should be short, direct, with a minimum number of

fittings, and have a drain valve installed at the lowest point.

b. A strainer should be installed in the suction line to prevent impu-

rities from accumulating on the valve seats.

c. Suction lines must be thoroughly tightened to prevent leaks and

loss of capacity.

• DISCHARGE PIPING

a. Discharge piping should be the same size or greater than the dis-
charge fitting.

IM 430.550AA UA (B/2-01) 13
 ®
CHEMTUBE 200

b. The pipe pressure rating should be greater than the pressure relief
valve setting (which is normally set 20% above system pressure).

c. Discharge pressure of the pump must exceed the suction pressure

by at least 10 psi. An auxiliary backpressure valve may be neces-
sary in the discharge line to maintain this pressure differential.

3.1 Preparation for Operation

3.1.1 Gear Box

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the gear train, fill gear case with
! oil furnished before starting.

3.1.2 Hydraulic System and Intermediate Sections

The intermediate section is shipped filled with the proper fluid. Oil need not
be added except for filling gear box as above.

3.1.3 Priming

a. Check that the tank is filled.

b. Open the suction line shut-off valve.

c. Start pump.

NOTE: Best results will be obtained at full speed and 100% stroke
length.

d. Prime pump with flooded suction and atmospheric discharge pres-

sure (pump will not prime against lift or backpressure).

e. Run the pump for at least two hours to completely purge the air from
the system before calibration.

3.1.4 Adjustment of Internal Pressure Relief

The internal pressure relief valve has been factory set to approximately
20% above the maximum rating of the pump head or 20% above the
maximum system pressure specified on the shipping order. If the pressure
relief is set too low, the valve will discharge oil with every stroke decreas-
ing the efficiency of the pump. If the valve is set too high, it will be inef-
fective and the pump may become overloaded.

a. Apply system backpressure to the pump while running. Adjust the

pressure relief setting by removing the red cap on the cylinder. If
there is a bumping of the stem with each stroke, then the valve is set
too low. With the tool provided, tighten the adjuster until the stem
stops bumping. Tighten another two turns to achieve the desired set-
ting.

IM 430.550AA UA (B/2-01) 24
 ®
CHEMTUBE 200

b. If no bumping is present when the pump is run at system backpressure,

loosen the adjuster until the stem begins to bump, then repeat step a.

c. Reinstall the red cap after the valve has been properly adjusted.

3.1.5 Calibration

Since the stroke adjustment is marked in percent of full stroke, it is nec-

essary to calibrate the pump under normal operating conditions to deter-
mine the actual delivery at a given setting on the stroke adjustment scale.

To obtain significant data from which the calibration curve can be drawn,
the pump operator must duplicate the exact conditions that the pump will
encounter when in service. It is desirable to take flow data for timed
intervals at low, middle and high stroke length settings at several different
discharge pressures to obtain a good understanding of the pressure and
stroke length relationship. Samples should be taken at the suction side of
the pump.

With no backpressure, capacity should be slightly higher than the capaci-

ties in Section 1, TECHNICAL DATA. As the pressure increases capacity
falls off in the 1.0 to 3% per 100 psi range. A USF/W&T calibration
chamber is useful for an accurate, on site calibration of the pump (see Dwg.
430.550.111.010).

NOTE: By plotting the rate data at various stroke settings, a calibra-

tion curve can be made or performance spot-checked.

3.2 Operation

NOTE: Before starting ensure suction and discharge shut-off valves

are open.

3.2.1 Starting

Turn on the power supply to the pump.

3.2.2 Stopping

Turn off the power supply to the pump.

3.2.3 Intermittent Start-Stop Operation

Intermittent start-stop operation (semi-automatic) is the starting and stop-

ping of the treatment in synchronism with an intermittent flow. The usual
IM 430.550AA UA (B/2-01) 25
 ®
CHEMTUBE 200

example calls for treating the discharge from a pumping system. The con-
troller starts and stops in response to predetermined variations in chemical
parameters, elevation or pressure of the liquid being treated.

3.2.4 Adjustment of Feed Rate

Feed rate is governed by frequency of the pump stroke, the length of the
pump stroke and the strength of the solution to be fed.

• Frequency of Pump Stroke

The frequency of stroke is a function of the gear set ratio (see table
below) and of motor speed (ac motor full speed only, optional dc motor
with variable speed).

Numbe r of Stroke s
Available Ge ar Ratios
at 1725 rpm, 60 Hz
12:1 144 spm
18:1 96 spm
24:1 72 spm
48:1 36 spm

NOTE: Capacities given at 100% motor speed, 1725 rpm.

NOTE: 10:1 available to achieve 144 spm at 50 Hz.

• Length of Stroke

! Manual Adjuster

Manual adjustment of the stroke length is accomplished by turning

the stroke adjust rod clockwise for increased stroke and counter-
clockwise for decreased stroke. The vernier scale on the stroke
adjust rod is readable in 1% increments from zero to 100%.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the pump and stroke adjust mecha-

! nism, do not force the control rod above 100% or below 0%.

! Electric Control

Refer to the separate instruction book provided with the actuator/

controller.

3.2.5 Strength of Solution

In many cases the solution strength may be adjusted by dilution. This will
increase the amount to be pumped per unit of time to be compatible with
pump capability and permit operation at a length of stroke for best repeat-
ability of metering.

MENDED BY THE MATERIAL MANUFACTURER/SUPPLIER.

3.3 Theory of Operation

3.3.1 Drive Unit

The motor drives the worm shaft, which in turn drives the worm gear/
eccentric. The different stroking speeds are determined by the pitch and
thread of the worm/worm gear combination. The connecting rod rides on
the eccentric lobe of the eccentric/unit and produces the reciprocating
motion of the piston.

The stroke length adjustment is of the hydraulic loss-of-motion type. The

piston travel stays constant while the point where the hydraulic chamber
seals varies. For example, at 60% stroke the point where the hydraulic
chamber seals is 0.600 (0.6 x 1.0 in. travel) ahead of the zero point. The
remaining 40% of the stroke is shuttled back to the gear box.

3.3.2 Liquid End

Flat disc diaphragm is flexed hydraulically in a conventional manner by the

reciprocating piston. The tubular diaphragm mounted in the head is sur-
rounded by a liquid. This liquid acts as the hydraulic coupling between the
two diaphragms.

On the discharge stroke the piston forces the flat diaphragm outward,
causing the intermediate fluid to be displaced, collapsing the tubular dia-
phragm and forcing the process fluid out discharge valve. On the suction
stroke the direction of the flat diaphragm is reversed and the tubular dia-
phragm, returning to its original position, allows process fluid to enter
through the suction valve assembly. When the two diaphragms are syn-
chronized through proper filling of the intermediate chamber, the tubular
diaphragm flexes from the relaxed position inward. Volumetric efficiency
is achieved by maintaining the volume of hydraulic oil in the displacement
cylinder.

CHEMTUBE 200

3.3.3 Hydraulic Coupling

The piston reciprocates within an accurately sized cylinder displacing a

known volume of oil. The displacement of oil and in turn the flat dia-
phragm, the intermediate fluid, the tubular diaphragm, and the process
fluid, operate under the concept of being “hydraulically balanced”. That is,
there is a direct relationship between the volume of oil displaced by the
piston and the volume of process fluid pumped per stroke.

• Air Purge Valve

Because oil has some air dissolved in it, which comes out of solution,
the pump utilizes the air purge valve to purge the air from the system
with each stroke. This is necessary because the air is compressible and
would have an adverse effect on capacity at the higher backpressures.
When no air is present, a slight amount of oil is vented.

• Differential Pressure Relief Valve

Differential pressure relief valve is a valve unique to this pump. It is a

spool type valve which senses the pressure on both sides of the flat
diaphragm. When the pressure differential across the diaphragm ex-
ceeds a specified amount, the valve opens and relieves oil back to the
gearbox. The differential valve limits the maximum pressure across the
diaphragm under abnormal operating conditions (such as blocked suc-
tion) thereby protecting it from rupture. The valve is of the non-adjust-
able, spring- loaded type and limits the pressure differential across the
diaphragm to approximately 50 psi.

• Pressure Relief Valve

This valve protects the head, cylinder, discharge piping and the thrust
carrying parts of the drive from overpressure by relieving excess oil.
Excess pressure can occur when the discharge line is blocked causing
the pump design pressure to be exceeded. If the pump is the only
pressure producing component in the system and the pressure relief
valve is set properly, then the pump will serve as protection for the
entire system.

3.3.4 Electronic Leak Detection (Optional)

The leak detection system operates on the principle of conductivity (the

ability of a liquid to conduct electricity). The system consists of a conduc-
tivity probe and an electronic sensing circuit. In operation the conductivity
probe passes a minute electrical current through the high resistance inter-
mediate fluid. If there is a tubular diaphragm rupture, low resistance pro-
cess fluid is mixed with intermediate fluid changing its conductivity, com-
pleting the circuit and activating the alarm. This system will measure the
resistivity of a fluid up to 100,000 ohms.

The resistivity of the fluid can be checked by removing the probe wires
from terminals H and C on the relay amplifier and replacing with two wires
placed into a container with a small amount of the fluid. The tips of the
wires should have a maximum distance between them of 1/8 inch. Energize
the leak detecting system and check for the closing and opening of the
relay.

3.3.5 Multiple Head Arrangements

The Chemtube 200 is available with one or two heads per gear box pow-
ered with a common drive unit. The liquid ends can have manifolded or
separate suctions and discharges.

ANCE ON RELIEVING PRESSURE AND DRAINING.

4.1 General

Routine maintenance of a Chemtube® 200 Diaphragm Metering Pump

consists of TWO periodically performed operations:

• Periodic Cleaning to remove contaminants and deposits formed on

parts in contact with the solution.

• Periodic Preventive Maintenance to disassemble, inspect, clean and

accomplish recommended parts replacement. Kits of replacement parts
required for this periodic maintenance are available and are listed in
this section.

PROTECT YOUR EQUIPMENT INVESTMENT

MINIMIZE DOWNTIME
ORDER PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE KITS NOW
KEEP THEM ON HAND

Corrective maintenance is performed (as required at unscheduled inter-

vals) to correct a discrepant operating or non-operating condition. A trouble-
shooting table is provided to guide the service personnel.

NOTE: When a unit is disassembled, discard and replace all removed

O-rings and gaskets.

4.2 Periodic Cleaning

4.2.1 Cleaning Pumping Head Parts

If difficulty is encountered in pumping the solution where hard water has

been used in the preparation of the solution, remove the pumping head
parts for cleaning. The effects of hard water are indicated by a white
coating on all parts in contact with the solution. This coating is most easily
removed by soaking the parts in 10% muriatic acid obtainable in any
plumbing supply store. Where the above condition is known to exist, pump
the acid solution through the pump head for approximately five minutes as
a periodic preventive maintenance procedure.

PLIER.

To clean the air purge valve do not disassemble the valve. Soak the valve
in kerosene. Agitate the valve to distribute the solution within the valve
passages. Allow the remaining solution to drain out.

4.2.2 Clogging of Discharge Piping

Where solution joins water being treated and that water contains consid-
erable hardness, a deposit may form inside the discharge piping at the point
of application. In time this can completely plug this line and must be
removed. The best method is by dissolving the deposit as described under
CLEANING PUMPING HEAD PARTS. Where this condition is known
to exist, clean the solution line as a part of routine maintenance.

4.3 Periodic Preventive Maintenance

Periodic preventive maintenance is performed (at specified intervals while

equipment is in satisfactory condition) to minimize unscheduled shutdown
and ensure maximum service life. The following table lists the intervals,
maintenance operation and the preventive maintenance kits required. Before
starting the work, ensure that the appropriate preventive maintenance kits
are on hand. Refer to the following table and to Section 6 for appropriate
kit numbers.

4.3.1 Lubrication

The gear box should be filled with approximately one gallon of synthetic,
food-grade oil, SAE 10W30 (USF/W&T part number AAB5042). The
drive unit should be drained and refilled with fresh lubricant every year
unless contamination is suspected.

IM 430.550AA UA (B/2-01) 33
 ®
CHEMTUBE 200

Lubricate the motor only as directed by the motor manufacturer. Instruc-

tions are furnished on the terminal box cover by some manufacturers.

Check oil level every six months. Remove gear box breather. Oil should be
1-1/2 inch below the surface of the cover. Add oil if necessary and replace
breather.

4.4 Priming Troubles or Loss of Suction

Difficulty in priming or loss of suction is usually encountered when there

is a leak in the suction line. Refer to the troubleshooting guide for corrective
action. If the pump is installed as shown on the Typical Installation drawings
(Dwgs. 430.550.111.010 and .020 in Section 2), the discharge drain valve
may be opened to allow the pump to prime against atmospheric pressure.

4.5 Corrective Maintenance

Corrective maintenance is performed as required to correct a discrepant

operating or non-operating condition. A troubleshooting table is provided
to guide service personnel in diagnosing and correcting most common
troubles.

NOTE: Disassembly for parts replacement need only proceed as far

as necessary to accomplish the parts replacement. For example, it
may be more economical to replace the components parts as a unit
(sub-assembly) rather than replacing one of the components. For
example, press-fitted bearings could be inadvertently damaged in
assembly through improper techniques.

in the groove in the face of the housing. The silicone grease will
hold the O-ring in place while the housing is being assembled.

g. Assemble the adjuster into the housing by screwing the adjuster

fully clockwise to fully extend shaft. If the piston is forward it will
be possible to insert the shaft into the piston before the threads on
the housing engage with the cylinder. If not, screw the housing
into the cylinder gently. If the shaft does not go immediately into
the piston, gently work the housing back and forth until you feel
them mate.

h. Tighten the housing with spanner wrench.

i. Apply new label to the face of the cylinder. Clean face of cylinder
with denatured alcohol (USF/W&T part number E1258). To pre-
pare the label, peel off paper backing, coat back with solvent to
activate adhesive, and position it onto the face of the pump.

• Cylinder Removal

a. Drain oil from gearbox.

b. Remove the two screws that fasten the cylinder to the gearbox.

c. The cylinder/gearbox joint is sealed with silicone adhesive. It will

be necessary to break the bond of this sealant to remove the cylin-
der. To break this bond, strike cylinder with a soft mallet taking
care not to damage the cylinder.

d. Before the cylinder is reinstalled it will be necessary to remove

the old sealant from the cylinder and the gearbox. Clean the sur-
faces.

e. Apply a 1/8-inch bead of RTV to the cylinder end (as shown in

4.6 Troubleshooting

The correction of operating difficulties is best accomplished by familiarity

with the normal operation of the pump, by close observation, and by an
orderly elimination of the possible causes. The following table has been
prepared to help the operator to find and correct operating difficulties.
Before using, the operator should read carefully all the instruction material
contained in this section, since the following table is necessarily brief and
refers to other sections of the manual for detailed information.

Several general symptoms of improper operation are listed. With each is

listed the probable cause and the suggested remedy. An attempt has been
made to list the probable cause under each general heading in the most
probable order of occurrence and they should be checked and eliminated
in the order given.

In order to make the table as complete as possible, many possible operating

difficulties have been included. Actually, the pump user can expect long
periods of service with few operating difficulties.
