Shaft sealing of the pump is effected by .rneans'of a packed stuffing box.

ln the case of the standard design a lantern ring r's subjected to the pressure
of the liquid handled in order to positively avoid the intake of air during
operation. The supply of .clean external liquid for sealing . (necessary in
the case of handling cohtaminated liquids) is possible as a variant.

lmpeller (normally 2 to 3 mm)

v. Mount the casing (part no,35) over the casing cover with a Casfet (part no.41)

Care should be tdken so that orientation of the delivery of the casing should suit the
sole plate. Then che'ok up the Free rotation of the rotor assembly. Tight the lock nut
(part no.7A) provided in Adjuster sqrew.

vi. '' lt.is imporlant to position the lmpeller correctly in relation to the casing. No rubbing can
be allowed with side walls or front walls of the casing. This can be avoided by the
adjusting the screws in bearing housing.

LAYING THE CONNECTING PIPING:

GENERAL:

The diarneters of the piping are not determined by those of_ the pump branches. On short
delivery pipe iuns the diameter should be such that the pipe resistance constitutes but a small
portion of the delivery head- for long pipe runs the most economic pipe.diameter must be
assessed in each particular cdse.

Abrupt changes in pipe cross sections and sharp bends should be avoided.

Once the flange boits have been loosened, the nanges must not yield more than the amount
cerresponding to the gasket thickness Dor,rflust they be out of the parallel nor bear against
each other under stress. See that the flange gaskets do not extend into the bore of the piping.
Clean carefully all pipe par.ts and fittings prior to assembly,

As the ,pump branohes should not absorb ipipe.forces and moments, the pump must not be
used as a locating point of the pipe work.

Caution : Afler eonnecting up the piping, the pump alignment must'be re-checked, as the set
may have been distorted. lt must be possible to turn lhe rotor easily by hand. ln case of
inadequate alignmeht, bearings, coupling, shaft seal (in case of VR design) and wear rings may
gei damaged prematurely.

FEEDLIrG: (FoR VR DESIGN ONLY)

The isolating valves in the feed line must remain fully open during operation and must NEVER
be used for regulating.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE (Vo+SPS+T TPS) I

'
1. Place the shaft sleeve (53.S1 on the pump shaft with key.
2. Place the bush housing (17.3) with bush bearing (55.553) over the column pipe
with proper gasket.

3. Mount the lmpeller with shaft by providing a gasket between sleeve and impelter.

4. Provide a gasket between lmpeller and lmpeller nut and screw the impeller nut
with shaft.
5. Plaoe the gasket on the wear plate (14.54) face and fix the wear plate with casing
using studs.

6. Mount the casing along with wear plate providing a gasket in between.casing &
bush housing and fix the casing using studs with column pipe.

7. By the adjustment of the ariljusting screws'in the bearing hoqsing, the rotor
assembly can be moved up and down with this and keep the clearance between
wear plate and impeller (0.6 mm).

8. Care should be taken. And that the orientation of the delivery of the casingi should
suit the sole plate. Then check up the free rotation of the rotor assernbly and
tighten the lock nut provided in the adjusting screw.

L lt is important to position the impeller correctly in relation to the casing. Nq iubbing

is allowed with wear plate. Thie can be'avoided by adjusting the screws in bearing
housing.

DTEMANTLING FROCEDURE (VO+SPS+T T TPS} :

1. Remove the suction spool / strainer connection.

2. Remove the delivery bend (72.051) you will find a sealing gasket which i$ to be
preserved carefully

3. Remove the Volute casing ( 11.4) by loosening the stud provided. (the wear plate
(14.54) fixed with casing also come along with) if necessary wear plate to be
removed by--loosening the studs.

4. The impeller is now visible, loosen the impeller nut (93.4) and pull the impeller
(24.21 along with Teflon gasket provided in between impeller / impeller nut &
impeller / sleeve.

5. The above procedure is to be adopted in reverse fashion for assembly.

5 By the adjustment of the adjusting screws in the bearing housing, rotor assembly
can be moved up and down with this aid keep the clearance between wear plate
and impeller (normally 2 to 3mm).

6 Mount the casing by proving the Eas-keU0-ring between casing & bush housing
by using studs with column pipe.

7 Gare should be taken so that.orientation of the delivery of the casing shouli suit
the sole,pfate. Then check up the free rotation of the rotor assembly tight the lock
nut provided in the adjusting screw.

8. lt is important to ,position the impeller correctly in relation to the casing. No

rubbing ean be allowed with side walls or front walls sf the casing. This can be
avoided by adjusting the screws in bearing housing.

DISMANTL|NG PROCEDURE (VO+ARS) r,.i,,

1. Remove the suction spool/strainer connection.

2. ,Remove the delivery bend (72,Q55) while removirirg-the delivery bend you will find
sealing gasket which is to be preserved carefully.

3 REMOVE THE VOLUTE CASTNG (11.4) By LOOSING THE STUD PROV|DED

4. The impeller is now visible; Give a lever of sufficient diameler and length between the
, vanes of the irnpeller (inside thq suction bore of the impelier) thereby preventing the
rotation of the same.

5. Now rotate the coupling in the gpposite direction as that of normal running direction
by hand. This process will make the impeller unwind from the shaft and at the same
time coming out towards the opqrator standing before.

6. Stop it in the middle and providf hoHing and further un-;wind so that the impeller will
'come out and hang'bn the holding. I

7. The above procedure is to be adopted in reverse fashion for assembring.

B. lf you need further dismantling remove wear plate (14.71.by loosening the fixing bolts
provided with bush housing. Now the bush housing(12.e):and bush-bearing(S-s.SS3)
can be rembved.
o Now the bed assembly with bearings, column pipe, and shaft with sleeve is free for
further dismantling.

10 Preserve'all sealing o-rings and gaskets provided in between the wetted parts.

Install a gate valvd o.r.;an.bqtpuf .contrp-L-valve in the delive
ivery line as close
to the pump branch as,possible. As a matter.of principler it is,iecommended
to place a ncin-return walye be,tween the pump bianch. and regulating,vblve,
thus protecting the pump branch and regulating vplve, thus protecting tlre
pu,np against reverse rotation and wateir, hammer which rnay occur in case
of sudden shut-down,

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN BEFORE OPERATION !
Packing of the stuffing Box (For VO + RW) design only. . The. pumps .are
de li ver ed by us with the stuffing b6x unpacked.. Cut the individual .packing
rings frorn the packing plait supplied to suitable length using a gauging
plug of the same diameter as the shaft protecting sleeve. .Th6 cut pieces
must not be too long.
A gap of I rnnr between the joints' af ter fitting willl in any case, ProYq le ss
de tr i rnental than squeez ing too long pieces together. When installing the
pacl<ing rings the ioints of fwo qonsecutir* rings myst be
S*quence oI installation of the packing rings and lantern rln8 :
I packing ring lantern ring - 3. packing rings.
The gland must not be tightened too firmly bgcause other-wise ihe packing
and the shaft sleeve may get damaged. Make sure that the gland is not
tiglrtened unevenly and doei not rub on the shaft sleeve.,The-shaft mustl-
turn easily by hand. :,

Lubrication of bearings by exter nal water (tresh w ater) (f or V O + design

with external water lubr ication only).
T'he sleeve bearings of the shaf t asse mbly and the slgeve bearing in the
pLlmp must not run dry. Thus tlre external water lubrication must be switched
oll before starting th" set., i
CHECK OF DIRECTION OF ROTATION r

The dir ection , of rotation must cor. respond to the direction. arr'ow on the
sole plate. For checking'the direction of rotation the motor may be:started
for a MOMENT ONLY. It is always better to remove the motor separately '
Irom the punp and check the.direction of rotation.
STAITTING :- TJP
The regulating valve in the delivery line should be closed or, in the case of
i c oper ation, the f ull back pressure should be on the noR-return valve,
auto mat
Once the has run up to wofking speed, open the regulating valve in
pu rTlp
the deli ver y
lirre slowly until the r equired ser vice data of the pu mp ar e
reached. Prolonged operation against closed reg&lating valve in thq deliver y
line rnay lead to destruction of the internal pU'mp parts and must therefore
be avoicied,
For VO (wet pit installation) see that the lowest admissibleliquid level in the
pit (minimum submergence) is. maintairied during starting-up as well as during
operation. The reguired minimuryl ,.submergence prevents vibration and thus
danrage to the set - which rnay occur due to the lormation of air entraining
vortices which rnay extend as far as the interior of the pump.
