SECTION TWO - DESCRIPTION 2.1 PUMP The centrifugal pump is a horizontally mounted, multi-stage pump with sleeve radial

bearings and a pivot shoe thrust bearing. It consists of the horizontally split pump case, the rotating element assembly, the shaft seals, and the bearing housings. The pump is pedestal mounted on a baseplate.

For descriptions of other components supplied by BW/IP International Inc., Pump Division, refer to pump outline drawing and other manufacturers material in Section Seven.

NOTE Refer to pump sectional drawing and mechanical seal drawing in Section Seven for

location of parts described in manual text. 2.1.1 Case The split pump case is a double volute design with the joints of the halves sealed by a

gasket and secured by studs and cap nuts. The suction and discharge nozzles, and bearing housing brackets, are integral with the case bottom half. This permits removing the top half case and the rotating element without disturbing the main piping.

2.1.2 Rotating Element NOTE All of the component parts for the rotating element described below may not be found in

the purchased pump. See the Pump Sectional Drawing, Section Seven for parts applicability.

The rotating element assembly consists of the pump shaft, the impellers and their wear rings (when furnished), the case wear rings, shaft sleeves, stage pieces and throat and throttle bushings. The key driven impellers and shaft sleeves are installed on the pump shaft with a shrink fit and positioned by split rings.

The case wear rings and stage pieces are positioned by tongue and groove fit with both halves of the case, each of their tongues having an anti-rotation pin that engages a slot in the bottom half case at the parting line.

2.1.3 Bearings and Housings The horizontally split bearing housings contain the radial and thrust bearings. The radial

bearings in both bearing housings are split sleeve type and the thrust bearing is a pivot shoe and thrust disc design. A locating pin in the top half of each housing prevents rotation of the sleeve bearings. Leakage of oil from the bearing housing is prevented by shaft mounted deflectors.

The pivot shoe and thrust disc type thrust bearing assembly consists of the shaft mounted thrust disc and two stationary sets of housing rings with leveling plates, rocker plates and pivot shoe assemblies, one set located on each side of the thrust disc. (continued

Housing rings support the pivot shoe assemblies in a plane which will align itself to the plane of rotation of the thrust disc, enabling the thrust bearing to compensate for thrust loads in either axial direction. The key-driven thrust disc is retained by the oil pump drive

or lock nut and is located by the shaft locating ring that is installed against a shoulder of the pump shaft.

Distribution of lubricating oil is provided to each bearing by a pressure lubrication system. 2.1.4 Shaft Seals Sealing of the pump shaft where it exits each end of the pump case is accomplished by the

use of a shaft sealing device. For a description and operation of the sealing device, see Section Seven.

SECTION THREE - INSTALLATION 3.1 GENERAL Installation of the pump is performed in the sequence described in paragraphs 3.5 through

3.10. Final alignment (paragraph 3.9) and dowelling (paragraph 3.12) are performed after the pump has operated for at least twenty-four hours.

3.2 SHIPMENT CONFIGURATION The pump is shipped to the job site assembled, and may be either mounted on its

baseplate or shipped separately. If shipped separately, the pump will be suitably wrapped and mounted on skids or crated with all openings closed off and protected. Some small items may be packaged in separate containers.

3.3 EQUIPMENT REQUIRED In addition to common tools used in this type of work, the following should be available at

the job site when installing or removing the pump:

Lifting equipment of sufficient capacity to handle the equipment safely (see Section Five, paragraph 5.4). The approximate weight of the pump and other equipment supplied is normally given on the Pump Outline Drawing, Section Seven.

Steel blocks and wedges (one each per foundation bolt) of 2" (50.8 mm) minimum thickness, for leveling baseplate. Blocks and wedges should be free of burrs. Shim packs may substitute for the wedges.

Grouting materials, such as non-shrink grout, sufficient lumber for building a wooden trough to contain grout, and risers or funnels for guiding grout, normally provided by grouting contractor. A good oil paint is recommended for grout protective coating.

One dial indicator and a suitably stiff bracket having an arm of sufficient length to extend from the driver coupling hub to the pump coupling hub for performing coupling alignment.

3.4 HANDLING PRECAUTIONS When handling the pump or its components, always work safely to prevent accidents. The

unit can be handled and installed using equipment normally found at the job site; no special tools are required. Be sure lifting devices used are in good condition and are capable of safely carrying the weights being lifted. Observe the following precautions:

When handling the unit as shipped, use lifting lugs provided on each corner of

baseplate or, as an alternate method, use chains or slings passed under the baseplate. Crated assemblies may be handled with a forklift of suitable capacity.

When lifting the pump or driver separately, use lifting lugs when provided; otherwise, use padded slings around the pump or driver outer case. DO NOT

(continued)

use eye bolts on top of pump or bearing housing for lifting the assembled pump. DO NOT place lifting slings around bearing housings or shafts.

Rev. B BW/IP International Inc., Pump Division 3-MULT-10

3-2

Adjust lifting equipment so that the load is balanced and supported adequately, and watch for overhead obstructions. Use care to prevent bumping, pushing or scraping of pump parts, especially the shafts and other machined surfaces and fits.

Take care to prevent foreign materials or dirt from entering the working parts of the pump or driver.

3.5 UNLOADING AND CHECKING 1. Before handling equipment, review the procedures of paragraph 3.4. Work safely

to prevent accidents.

2. After unloading, uncrate and unwrap all parts and inspect carefully to be certain nothing was damaged during shipment. Check driver carefully to be certain there are no signs of oil leakage.

3. Check shipment against packing list or manifest for possible shortages.

4. If damage or shortage has occurred, immediately advise the carrier's claim department and the nearest BW/IP International, Inc., Pump Division office or the dealer through whom the unit was purchased.

5. If pump or auxiliary equipment is to be stored for short or long term (over 6 months) periods, refer to paragraph 3.13 for procedures used in preparing equipment for shipment or site storage.

3.6 FOUNDATION PREPARATION 1. Choose a solid ground location for foundation.

2. Build foundation approximately three inches larger overall than the pump baseplate, to provide ample anchorage for the foundation bolts. The foundation should be at least several times the mass (weight) of pump, baseplate and driver. The final mass (weight) of the foundation must be determined by the customer.

3. Locate foundation bolts accurately, according to the Pump Outline Drawing, Section Seven.

4. Choose foundation bolts of specified size. Provide pipe enclosures for the foundation bolts three or four diameters larger than the bolts and stuff waste around bolts while pouring the concrete.

5. Leave top foundation surface rough, to provide a good base for grout.

6. Allow foundation to cure before installing equipment. 3.7 BASEPLATE LEVELING AND GROUTING (See Figure 3-1) 1. Place the steel blocks and wedges (or shim packs) as closely as possible to the

foundation bolts.

2. Disconnect all piping and wiring as required, and strip baseplate of pump and

driver.

3. Attach chain fall hooks at each corner of baseplate. Lift and guide baseplate to center above foundation bolts, then lower onto bolts.

Rev. B BW/IP International Inc., Pump Division 3-MULT-10 4. Using a precision level across baseplate pads at A-B, C-D, E-F and G-H, adjust

wedges (or shim packs) as necessary to insure that baseplate is level in all directions to within the recommended tolerance of 0.002 inch (0.0508 mm) per linear foot. Wedges or shim packs should feel solid when tapped lightly with a hammer.

5. When baseplate is level and held firmly with foundation bolt nuts, it is ready for grouting.

6. To contain grout, provide wooden trough about 2-1/2 inches (63.5 mm) deep around outside of baseplate. Also provide riser or funnels over grout holes to insure correct placement of grout.

7. Stir or vibrate the grout while pouring grout into all open spaces. Tap baseplate to eliminate air pockets.

8. Allow grout to settle, then dress surplus grout on outside of baseplate.

9. When grout is thoroughly hardened, remove wedges, fill the wedge holes with grout, and completely tighten the foundation bolts.

10. Apply oil paint to protect grout from moisture.

11. Observing the precautions of paragraph 3.4, reinstall the pump and driver. Position them on the baseplate with their shafts located to the "between shafts" dimension as shown on Pump Outline Drawing, Section Seven. With a plumb line or other suitable means, establish approximate alignment of shaft centerlines.

FIGURE 3-1. BASEPLATE LEVELING 12. Install and temporarily tighten the cap screws securing equipment to baseplate, but

do not tighten driver cap screws until required during coupling alignment, paragraph 3.9.

13. Reconnect all piping and wiring disconnected in Step 2. Connect required auxiliary

equipment as applicable.

14. Check driver for correct rotation by momentarily operating it as per manufacturer's instructions, (Section Seven). Correct as required. Also check for proper magnetic alignment of driver shaft.

Rev. B BW/IP International Inc., Pump Division 3-MULT-10 3.8 BEARING HOUSINGS CLEANING AND LUBRICATION The inside of the bearing housing is cleaned and sprayed with rust inhibitor before the

pump is shipped. However dirt or moisture may have entered the housing during shipment, storage, or installation. If it is suspected that bearings have been exposed to dirt or moisture, disassemble and thoroughly clean the bearing housing with a solvent and air dry the parts. When clean, coat machined and unpainted inside surfaces of housing and parts above the oil level with a thin layer of petrolatum and reassemble the bearing housing.

3.9 DRIVE COUPLING INSTALLATION AND ALIGNMENT Pump-to-driver alignment assures that the pump and driver shaft centerlines are parallel

and in line with each other. The alignment consists of angular and offset alignment procedure. Refer to coupling manufacturers instructions, Section Seven and Figures 3-2 and 3-3 to account for initial offset for pumps operating above 250oF (121oC). The alignment should be checked at least the following three times.

Preliminary: With the foundation bolts securely tightened and doweling installed, but

before final tightening of pump-to-pedestal bolts.

Secondary: With the pump and driver bolted to final tightness, coupling spacer installed, and the main and auxiliary piping connected (paragraphs 3-10 and 3-11).

Final: This hot alignment check is performed after the pump has operated for at least twenty-four hours and is still at operating temperature and pressure.

After completing final alignment, recheck the tightness of the pump and driver anchor bolts.

FIGURE 3-2. COUPLING ALIGNMENT Angular Alignment 1. Fasten or clamp a dial indicator to one hub with indicator stem contacting face of

the opposite hub, location (A).

2. Rotate one shaft and take indicator readings at a minimum of four places 90o apart. Shim under driver feet as necessary to attain parallel hub faces with 0.001 to 0.002 inch (.025 mm to .050 mm) total indicator reading (T.I.R.)

1. Fasten or clamp a dial indicator to one hub with indicator stem contacting circumference of the opposite hub, location (B).

2. Rotate one shaft and take indicator readings at a minimum of four places 90o apart. Shim under driver feet as necessary to attain parallel alignment of shaft centerlines within 0.002 to 0.004 inch (0.050 mm to .10 mm) T.I.R.

3. Repeat step 1 with indicator clamped to the opposite hub. After establishing the offset alignment, recheck that angular alignment has not changed

and that pump and driver anchor bolts are secure. 3.10 MAIN PIPING CONNECTION With the pump baseplate grouted and firmly fastened to the foundation and with pump and

driver installed, the main piping should then be connected to the pump proper. Piping-to-pump flange faces must mate flush and parallel without use of excessive force. The piping forces supported by the pump must not displace the pump out of alignment. DO NOT use drifts or flange bolts to force alignment of piping. Provide piping supports close to the pump flanges to avoid vibration and strain on pump casing. To prevent possible damage, be certain that piping and suction and discharge cavities are thoroughly clean before connecting pump to piping.

Observe the following: Use pipe of ample size for the length of line and the pressures involved. Allow

absolute minimum of bends and fittings. Suction piping should be as short and direct as possible, never smaller in diameter

than the suction entrance to the pump. Where a long suction pipe is necessary, its diameter should be at least one size, preferable two, larger than the pump suction port. Any bends or elbows used in suction piping should be of a long radius type.

DO NOT use a straight tapered reducer on a horizontal suction line (use offset reducer with offset down).

Install check valve, followed by gate valve, in discharge line. Check valve prevents back flow in event of power failure, and protects pump from excessive pressure.

Reducer, if used in discharge line, should be fitted to discharge flange preceding check valve and gate valve.

Provide strainers or screens where required to prevent entry of solids into the pump. Strainers or screens, if used, must not deprive the pump of adequate intake flow.

FIGURE 3-4 EQUIPMENT EXPANSION CHART NOTE Use of gages or other measuring devices are recommended to monitor the

pressure drop across each strainer or screen that may be used. Strainers and screens must be removed and cleaned when the pressure drop increases, indicating a flow restriction.

3.11 AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT CONNECTION Install and connect required auxiliary instruments, wiring and piping as shown on the Pump

Outline Drawing in Section Seven. 3.12 DOWELING Doweling of the pump and driver prevents movement, simplifies realignment if alignment is

disturbed, and temporarily holds unit should mounting bolts loosen. It is performed after the final alignment check of paragraph 3.9. Dowel pump and driver as follows:

1. Using the existing pilot holes in the feet of the pump, drill new pilot holes into the mounting pedestals to a minimum depth of 1-1/2 times the diameter of the dowel pin. The drilled holes should be of a diameter 1/64 inch (.40 mm) less than the diameter of the dowel pins to be installed. Clean out the chips.

2. Ream the holes in the feet and mounting pedestal to the proper diameter for the dowel pins which should be a slight interference fit. Clean out chips and insert dowel pins.

3. Install nuts on dowel pin threads. The nuts are provided to remove the dowel pins when required.

4. Dowel the driver in accordance with driver manufacturers instructions. 3.13 Site Storage Upon equipment arrival at the jobsite, the contractor or user must take over its handling

and storage and such tasks as rotating shafts and adding desiccants (for long-term storage), and preparing for customer's final in-plant painting.

If pump or auxiliary equipment is to be stored temporarily prior to installation, replace any protective covers or wrappings removed during inspection and recrate the equipment. Store equipment in a dry and protected indoor location, keeping it free of dirt and grit both internally and externally.

Keep protective piping covers tight and renew if damaged. Do not remove them until the pump is to be connected to the system piping. Shafts, bearings, and other finished parts subject to attack by moisture should be inspected occasionally, and the protective coating renewed if necessary.

During storage, once a month, rotate the pump shaft a minimum of two and a half revolutions in the direction indicated on the nameplate. Position the shaft 180o from its previous resting position.

For long term storage periods (over six months), contact your nearest BW/IP International Inc. sales office for additional requirements.
