SECTION l INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1-1. INTRODUCTION 1-2. This instruction book contains a description of and instructions for open and enclosed type bowl assemblies used in Ruhrpumpen vertical turbine pumps and manufactured by the vertical Pump Division of the Ruhrpumpen. Instructions for disassembly, maintenance, and reassembly are given in section II. A list of parts covering all models of the bowl assembly, and instructions for ordering parts, are given in section III GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1-4 Ruhrpumpen vertical turbine pumps are normally designed to operate in wells or sumps. The bowl assembly (see figure 1-1) consists primarily of a suction case or bell, one or more pump bowls, and a discharge case. The number of stages (bowls) employed is determined by the head requirements of the installation. The pump bowl assembly is positioned in the sump or well at a depth to provide the proper submergence. A pump shaft, common to all moving parts in the bowl assembly, provides mechanical linkage to the pump driver unit two basic configurations of the bowl assembly are the open type and the enclosed type. Functional differences in the two types are in the methods employed to lubricate the line shaft. In the enclosed type, a tube is placed over the line shaft and lubricants are supplied to the bearings through the shaft tube. In the open type, no lubricants are used other than the fluid being pumped 1-6 SUCTION BELL 1-7. The suction bell serves as the input port to the pump bowls. Internal guides or vanes perform the dual function of directing fluids into the eye of the first stage impeller and supporting the housing for the suction case bearing. A bell type suction is normally employed, but in applications where it is necessary to attach a suction column, a flanged type of suction case may be used. 1-8 PUMP BOWLS Two types of pumps bowls, top and intermediate, are available for the vertical turbine pump. Operation of the bowls is identical, with the exception that the top bowl discharges fluids into the discharge case and that the intermediate bowl or bowls discharge fluids into the eye of the impeller of the next stage. Each type of bowl contains an impeller which is mechanically connected to the pump shaft. Liquid flow in the impeller is both axial and radial. the upper portions of the bowls contain vanes which direct the fluids from the impeller out of the bowl. The vanes also support the housing for the bowl bearings, intermediate bowls contain a bronze bearing press fitted into the housing. Top bowls contain a single bronze bearing which extends up into the discharge case. Bearing materials may be varied to suit specific application. A multiple stage assembly contains a top bowl and one or more intermediate bowls. A single stage assembly contains only a top bowl IMPELLER Impellers used in Ruhrpumpen turbine pumps are of the enclosed centrifugal or mixed flow type. Sealing of interstage leakage is accomplished by insertion of wearing rings to provide close radial fitting between the bowl and impeller sealing surface. Impellers are mechanically connected to the pump shaft by impeller collets and lock nuts which press the impeller tightly against the collets. Position of the impeller on the shaft is determined by an impeller lock pin. The lock pins are inserted at the plant and the provide accurate positioning of impellers on the pump shafts.

4 4 / DISCHARGE CASE The discharge case receives the fluid from the top bowl and directs it to the column pipe, if one is used, or directly into the discharge head. Vanes that guide the fluid also act as a support for the pump shaft bearing. When the discharge case is used with enclosed shaft pumps, the tapped holes in the external boss of the discharge case provide venting of the pump discharge pressure, and permits correct flow of lubricants down the enclosing tube. When the discharge case is used with an open type pump, threaded plugs are screwed into the holes to prevent by-passing of liquids through the vent ports. FIGURE 1-1. INSTALLATION

5 5 / 27 SECTION II PRE-INSTALATION 2-1. INSPECTION OF EQUIPMENT 2-2. Immediately on receipt of the equipment inspect and check it against the shipping manifest. Examine the create and wrapping before discharging. Parts or accessories are sometimes wrapped individually or fastened to the crate. Report any damage or shortage to the transportation company s local agent. 2-3 STORAGE 2-4. When it is necessary to store a pump for a short time before it can be installed, place it in a dry location. Protect it thoroughly from dust and moisture. If a pump is schedule for storage for an extend period of time, that section of the pump above the bearing bracket should be dismantled and all internal surfaces subject to corrosion should be coated with a protective fluid. 2-5 CLEANING PRIOR TO INSTALLATION 2-6. If a rust preventative has been used on stored parts, they should be thoroughly cleaned prior to putting the pump into service. Kerosene or any coal tar distillate will generally serve as a good solvent for most rust preventative compounds. Extreme care must be taken to assure that all traces of the protective coating are removed unless standard lubricating oil has been used for protection. SECTION III INSTALATION 3-1 LOCATION OF EQUIPMENT 3-2. The pump should be placed so that it can be easily removed for inspection and repair, giving due attention to desirability of simplifying the discharge piping layout. There should be ample head room to allow the use of an overhead crane of lifting device with sufficient capacity lo lift the entire unit. 3-3 FOUNDATION 3-4. The foundation may consist of any material that will afford permanent rigid support to the full area of the pump or driver supporting member an will absorb expected strains and shocks that may be encountered in service. If the pump is to be mounted on a concrete floor, foundation bolts of the specified size should be located according to the elevation drawing. Each bolt should be surrounded by a pipe sleeve 2 to 3 times the diameter of the bolt. The sleeve should be held rigidly yet allowing the bolts to be removed When the pump unit is mounted directly on a sump cover, it should be located as near as possible to supporting beams or building walls to prevent deflection and vibration. The pump support and motor base should be bolted and doweled to the sump cover to retain proper alignment of piping. 3-6 EQUIPMENT NECESSARY FOR INSTALLATION 3-7.

13 13 / 27 Centering the Line Placement depth Feet (meters in parenthesis) Calculate the hydraulic push multiplying the total high per the pump push factor. The shaft lengthening taken of the graphic should not exceed impeller shaft longitudinal game that is shown on the operational curve.

14 14 / 27 SECCION IV FUNCIONAMIENTO 4-1. PREVIOUS TO STARTING RECOMMENDATIONS 4.2 Previous to starting recommendations, check the following thinks: A. The discharge valve is partially open and the discharge pipeline is property connected. B. The impellers have been adjusted properly during the installation and the motor line and the pump turn without inconvenient. C. All the bolts are tight STARTING 4-4. Start up the pump like it follows: A. Pre-lubricate the line in the pump of open line injecting water per the opening injection of the discharge head. Inject water for a minimum of three minutes in the pump whose shaft longitude is bigger than 40 feet. Continue the injection for one minute for each 100 additional feet of longitude of the shaft. B. Close the outburst switch. C. Observe if the pump begins to work easily and if it works without excessive vibration. If there is a difficulty to begin or an excessive vibration, stop the bomb immediately and consult the section V to determine the probable cause. D. Open the discharge valve slowly until the discharge pressure arrives to the wanted degree. E. In the open line pumps, tight the nuts of the split gland gradually during a lingering period. (See you the paragraph 5-8) FINAL ADJUSTMENT 4-6. After the pump start to worked for a while enough to press the line coupling and to clean the liquid pumped of abrasive materials that can have, the position of the impellers should be checked and to readjust them for a turn of the adjust nut in the motors of hollowshaft STOPPING UNIT 4-8. Close the discharge valve slowly and then stop the motor. With this pulsations are avoided in the system and that the liquid is returned through the pump. SECTION V CONSERVATION 5-1. PREVENTIVE CONSERVATION 5-2. INSPECTION 5-3. the pumps with hidden shaft are built to lend service without inconveniences for a long time and to only need a minimum attention. Periodically inspect the oiler to see if it is working appropriately and if it has enough oil, as well as the split gland to see if it has the appropriate escape, and the pumps to see if there are slack fasteners, excessive vibration, dirt and corrosion CLEANING 5.5. Remove the rust or corrosion with a brush of fine wire and cloths. Clean all the pieces, if is necessary, except the electric contacts, wetting the cloths or the brush with an appropriate solvent PUMPS WITH OVERDRAFT SHAFT 5-7. The pumps with overdraft shaft are equipped with split gland that do not need

15 15 / 27 attention, however it need an occasional approve of the scape Don't press the case of the split gland as much as to impede all escape. The packing should have a slight escape for the lubrication or the shaft will be lined or it will suffer excessive waste if was impeded that escape completely. The best rule is to loosen the case so that it can be given turns to the nut with the fingers and to let the split fland to have an abundant escape during an initial period of setting in march or after the packing of the split gland has been changed. Tight then the nut of the case gradually letting that the packing settles, until the escape is reduced to between 40 and 60 drops per minute. 5-9.The modeled rings that can be requested as reserve packing, give the best results to renovate the packing. Nevertheless, it can be formed the material rings in rolls, if it is necessary. In that case the pieces will be cut individually and will be adjusted carefully with juncture to bevel to avoid the deformation of the pieces. Put each new ring inside the split gland and set individually with the case. Make sure that the junctures are not aligned. The best thing is to stagger them to 180 degrees as they go settling the new rings in the split gland CLOSE SHAFT PUMP This kind of shaft are provided with a oil lubricant tank, that should be filled periodically. Fill the tank like is recommended in the next paragraph LUBRICATION OPEN SHAFT PUMP This kind of pump depend mainly on the liquid that is pumped for the lubrication of the bearings, intermediate and superior bowls, the bearing of the discharge case and the bearings of the shaft. Conserve the grease cup of the split gland full with good quality grease. The bearing of the suction case is packed with grease in the factory and it doesn't need lubrication until it is dismantled to inspect it or to repair it. After the disassembly, repack the suction box bearing with grease of medium viscosity to the temperature of the liquid pumped (approximately 500SSU to 100 degrees). Is convenient an oxidation inhibitor and usually have it the most of the good quality grease CLOSE SHAFT PUMP These pumps have the bearings of the discharge case and shaft lubricated with oil. The lubricant for those bearings is contained in the oil tank and it is fed to the bearing of tension tube. Maintain the oil tank full with a thin oil of turbine of good quality, of around 150 SSU to the temperature of the liquid that is pumped. A less thicken oil maybe doesn't flow appropriately through the bearings. Adjust the oiler so that it feeds from 4 to 6 drops per minute (twice that quantity for pumps larger than 200 feet, inside the shaft tube. As in the pumps open pumps, the bearings of the bowls are lubricated for the liquid that is pumped. The bearing of the suction case is greased and sealed in the factory and you only have to repack after disassembling to inspect it or to repair it. After disassembling it repack that bearing like is recommended for the open shaft pumps CONSERVATION CORRECTIVE INCONVENIENCES AND THEIR POSSIBLE CAUSES THE PUMP DO NOT START UP The possible causes are: A. The voltage given to the driver is very low. B. The electric circuit is open. C. The motor is faulty. D. The pump is forced inside a bent hole or against an obstruction in the hole or drain. E. The impellers are begun against the bowl because the bearing has a faulty adjustment or is wear.

16 16 / THE PUMP DOESN T DISCHARGE LIQUID. The possible causes are: A. Low velocity because the voltage or the shaft frequency is low. B. Incorrect direction of the rotation. C. The total height of pumping can be bigger than the height for the one that the pump is built. D. The strainer is obstructed or has strange matters blocking the liquid. E. The lowest impeller is not always submerged. F. The shaft is broken INSUFFICIENT CAPACITY. The capacity cannot be enough for the next causes: A. Little speed of the pump for reasons of low voltage to low frequency in the line. B. The total height of pumping can be bigger than the height for the one the bomb is built C. The liquid pipes or the strainer can be partially obstructed. D. The impeller is slack. E. To the suction head is entering air or vapor. F. The level of the liquid in the well or drain is too low THE PUMP LOSS THE PRIMING AFTER START. The pump can lose its priming after starting up if the level of the liquid descends under the pump. This can happen when the quantity of the liquid pumped it is smaller than the capacity of the pump THE PUMP OVERLOADS TO THE DRIVER. The cause that the pump can overload to the driver are: A. Operation in a point of the curve different to the design. B. The liquid pumped is not of the specific gravity for which the pump was built. C. The line voltage is very low or the driver is faulty. D. The impellers touch up or below THE PUMP VIBRATES. The vibration of the bomb can be caused for: A. Worn bearings. B. The shaft is out of line or bent. C. The assembly bolts are slack or the foundation is not rigid D. The impeller causes an imbalance to be corrode or partially obstructed. E. To the bowl body is entering air or vapor. F. Effort due to misalignment of the pipe. G. The well is bent or there are an obstruction that causes an obstacle effect WEAR EXCESSIVE. The cause of the excessive waste can be: A. Sand or another abrasive material in the liquid pumped. B. The well is bent or there are an obstruction that causes an obstacle effect. C. Vibration, if is not remedied immediately CORROSION. The corrosion can be caused by sludge in the water or for the liquid class that is pumped. It can decrease the corrosion to the minimum using pieces of stainless steel, brass or metal model.
