5. PUMP DESCRIPTION
CN SEAL-MV pump series is designed to meets the rigorous requirements of ISO 13709/API 610, eleven edition. A wide range of pump configurations and hydraulic coverage available. Vertical design ensure space-saving and suitability for cryogenic, high temperature and high working pressure services. ISO 21049/API 682 Seal Chamber accommodates a wide variety of seal configurations for the most severe services. A complement of ISO 13709/API 610 seal flush plans is available. Cartridge Seal Mounting assures ease of maintenance and precise seal face setting for maximum seal life Back Pull-Out of rotating assembly for OH3 models simplifies maintenance as neither the motor nor piping connections are disturbed. Motor Support Head is a heavy-duty design with a registered fit motor mount. Generous size open compartments allow easy access to all bolting and removal of the complete pumping assembly, including mechanical seal, without removal of casing. Dynamically Balanced Impeller limits vibration and assures smooth operation over wide flow range. Renewable Wear Rings for both the casing and impeller reduce replacement cost secured by axial screws, with option for tack welding, back wear ring standard and rear rings and balance holes eliminated for high suction pressure applications. Stiff Shaft Design limits maximum deflection at seal faces to 0.05 mm(0.002 in) maximum for a long life of the pump.
5.1. Applications
Generally this model is ideal for clean liquids slightly contaminated, without particles that can be magnetized;
The maximum working pressure of the plant, the allowable temperature and the maximum rotation speed depends on the type of pump and it is specified in the "TECHNICAL DATA" paragraph. Other uses are not allowed as the conditions of use stated in the “TECHNICAL DATA” paragraph must be respected in full.

Please refer to specific documentation, supplied with the present manual.
9. NOISE AND VIBRATION
The pump noise depends primarily on the operating conditions. The operating condition of the pump during the measurements is: the coupling of the pump with the electric motor on the bench with pumping fluids. The A-weighted sound pressure level to front and side of the pump is below 85 dB (A). When pump noise level exceeds 85 dBA attention must be given to prevailing Health ans Safety legislation, to limit the exposure of operating personnel to the noise. An enclosure can be adopted to reduce emitted sound.
10. CHECKS TO PUMP DELIVERY, STORAGE
All M PUMPS PROCESS pumps are tested before shipment and carefully packed for transport: at the reception of the pump make sure that the pump has not been damaged during the transport. If there are problems, contact immediately the carrier and inform M PUMPS PROCESS about what happened. So that the pump is preserved over time as best as possible, we recommend storing it away from the sun, bad weather and dust, if not immediately installed or used for long periods. Stoppers closing the input and output connections of the fluid must not be removed until installation. If provided with electric motor, observe also the motor manufacturer’s storage formality. The maximum allowable temperature range during storage, preservation and use must be between -15 e +40°C with humidity between 10 e 90%.
11. SHIPPING AND HANDLING
You should carry out a precautionary check of the pump at the receiving to detect and report any damage in the transport and handling operations. In case of breakages contact immediately M PUMPS PROCESS. The precautions to ensure the stability of the pump concern the possible slips and overturning caused by handling and transport, which must be prevented by setting the pump casing of the pump with ropes to the vehicle frame. Pump and motor assembly cannot be moved manually due to its high weight. To move a pump positioned on a pallet, enlarge as maximum as possible the forks and then operate. For a stable lifting the pump can be lift as indicated in the figures:
12. LIFTING
For a stable lifting the pump can be lift as indicated in the figures:
Bare frame pump without motor Bare frame pump with motor
Centre of gravity approximately in the middle Centre of gravity approximately in the middle
Doc. ISM0076_MANUALE_CN SEAL-MV_ENG_REV04.DOCX Pag. 15/49
These operations must be performed by a trained staff who is informed of the risk of these proceedings.
FORBIDDEN It is forbidden to lift the pump using different lugs from the ones specially designed and reported, as points of anchorage.
You cannot lift a pump and motor assembly using the eye-bolt of the electric motor only.
During the lifting the entire surrounding area is considered as a danger zone and must be cleared by personnel not engaged in those operations.
It is indicated the possibility of transporting and handling the pump using the lugs designed for that use: you must ensure that chains and shackles are able to withstand the weight of the pump (as shown in "TECHNICAL DATA").
14. ASSEMBLY, INSTALLATION, CONNECTIONS, COMMISSIONING AND SETTING
14.1. Assembly
Install the pump on a solid foundation as close as possible to the liquid to be pumped, below the level, in a position to facilitate maintenance and inspection. Ensure that the pump doesn’t take rough shacks as this may damage the magnets of the internal and external rotor or the silicon carbide bearings. Ensure that the heated air from other units does not affect the pump; the air temperature must not exceed 40 °C, for higher temperatures contact your distributor M PUMPS PROCESS; ensure also the free circulation of air cooling of at least ¼ the engine diameter, because either the pump or the motor should be able to dissipate the heat by natural air convection. Insufficient cooling could lead to high surface temperatures of the bearings seat, poor lubrication and premature failure of bearings. Useful is the monitoring of the surface bearings’ temperature. It is always responsibility of the operator to keep low the temperature of the liquid so that not to superheat the pump: in case of irregular pressure fluctuations and flow drop turn off the pump.
CAUTION Normally you should mount the pump horizontally. If mounted vertically or inclined, the pump, or rather the suction flange shall be placed in the lowest point. Leave a space of at least 50 cm between the pump and any walls or pipes.
Vertical pumps cannot be installed horizontally or inclined.
When pumping liquid can reach high temperatures: form 60 °C upwards you must install protections to prevent contact with hot pump parts;
Connect to the ground the entire pump casing to prevent accumulation of static electricity;
If the pumped liquid can be dangerous to people and environment, the user must take precautions for a simple and quick block in case of leakage for breakage/ replacement/ pump maintenance.
14.2. Connection of the pump to suction and discharge pipes
For a proper assembly aimed at an optimal use of the pump, you must follow these requirements:
pipes must be supported and kept in line regardless of the pump, until its connections, so that not to impose on it;
links must not be subjected to stresses during the job ;
the maximum permissible forces and moments on flanges shall not exceed those listed in “technical data”;
inlet pipes should be constructed with as few restrictions as possible in order to have the highest available NPSH;
the length of pipes , particularly that of the inlet pipe must be minimized;
the pipe must be placed so that it is not possible the formation of air; if this is not possible, it should be calculated the possibility of bleeding the air from the highest point ;
during suction use full section valves only;
14.3. Connection of the pump to suction and discharge pipes
Pag. 16/49 Doc. ISM0076_MANUALE_CN SEAL-MV_ENG_REV04.DOCX
14.4. Lubrication
Three options are available for bearings lubrication, - grease, - oil mist - oil cascade inside bearing housing. Ball-Bearings Lubrication by Grease Before placing the pump in operation, it must have grease supplied to the thrust bearings, the line bearing is life greased. Unplug the grease outlet plug located opposite the fitting in the bearing housing outer cover. Pump grease into the fitting in the bearing housing outer cover until grease just begins to extrude from the grease outlet. Replug the grease outlet and turn the shaft several times by hand to distribute the grease in the bearings. Thereafter, re-grease thrust bearings at 3000 hour intervals of operation. Refer to Section 5.2.1 for proper grease type.
Pure Oil Mist Lubricated Ball-Bearings Ensure that oil mist system is installed on the pump bearing housing and is operating. Please refer to manufacturer’s instructions. No additional information is necessary.
Doc. ISM0076_MANUALE_CN SEAL-MV_ENG_REV04.DOCX Pag. 17/49
Oil Lubricated Ball-Bearings Preparation of bearing housing Bearing frame must be carefully cleaned before filling with oil. It is also good practice to flush it with oil, compatible with the lubricating oil that will be used. The reservoir is to be filled to appropriate level as illustrated in the picture below. The oil level must be maintained at the correct level: decreasing of oil level may cause overheating and failure of the bearings, while exceeding the correct level can result in leakage. The constant level oiler can be adjusted by changing the height of the cross arms which support the glass reservoir, as illustrated for TRICO oiler below.
Pag. 18/49 Doc. ISM0076_MANUALE_CN SEAL-MV_ENG_REV04.DOCX
Trico oiler setting (standard)
a) Initial fill via top of housing, using overflow plug to establish correct level (refer to the picture above b) Release thumb screw and remove bottle. Establish a measurement from the center line of the oiler
connection in bearing housing to the upper cross arm of amounts indicated in the following table this can be obtained by completely screwing down constant level oiler lower arm.
c) Fill bottle with recommended oil and install on holder. Remove and fill bottle as many times as is required to fill the bearing housing up to the cross arm level and no air bubbles appear in the bottle.
d) Remove bottle and ascertain that the oil level is is desired, shown in the table below,from the center line of oiler connection. Adjust upper cross arm as required and lock in place with lower arm.
Inspection Inspect the oil level in the bearing housing and the condition of the oil at least weekly. Oil is always subject to progressive deterioration from use and contamination from dirt and moisture which is the cause of premature bearing wear. For oil lubricated pumps, fill the bearing housing with correct grade of oil to the correct level, i.e. constant level oiler bottle (standard configuration) and sight glass (when fitted on request).
Replenishment Replenish the oil in the oiler as required. More frequent replenishment at high temperatures may be required. Oil change Frequency of oil change is dependent on pump service and environmental conditions. As a general guide, oil in the bearing housing should be changed every 4000 operating hours, after the initial change. Lubrication Specification The ideal bearing lubricant is a straight well refined, neutral mineral, preferably of the turbine type. It should not contain free acid, chlorine sulphur or more than a trace of free alkali. It is suggested that the oil conform to the following physical characteristics.

Connection of the pump to suction and discharge pipes For a proper assembly aimed at an optimal use of the pump, you must follow these requirements:
pipes must be supported and kept in line regardless of the pump, until its connections, so that not to impose on it;
links must not be subjected to stresses during the job ;
the maximum permissible forces and moments on flanges shall not exceed those listed in “technical data”;
inlet pipes should be constructed with as few restrictions as possible in order to have the highest available NPSH;
the length of pipes , particularly that of the inlet pipe must be minimized;
the pipe must be placed so that it is not possible the formation of air; if this is not possible, it should be calculated the possibility of bleeding the air from the highest point ;
during suction use full section valves only;
Pag. 20/49 Doc. ISM0076_MANUALE_CN SEAL-MV_ENG_REV04.DOCX
NO SI
- if the suction tube was larger than the suction flange, you will use an eccentric reduction, in order to prevent formation of air and turbulence;
- if there is a possibility that the maximum working pressure can be overcome, for example due to excessive suction pressure, you should take appropriate measures by including a safety valve in the pipe;
- Avoid using quick-closing valves, because sudden changes of pressure cause water hammer very dangerous for the pump and the pipes;
- Before installing the pump, make sure the suction line is clean and/or provided with a filter to protect the impeller and the stationary bearings from damages incurred by slag, or other foreign particles , especially when you start the installation for the first time.
Electrical connections:
DANGER
The pump is provided with or without electric motor: only qualified personnel should carry out mechanical connection of the pump to the motor (for the model without motor) and the electrical connections of the motor to the electrical system. Please read carefully the instructions of the manufacturer of the motor or the manual before you complete the installation.
Make sure that the motor doesn’t start during maintenance jobs.
14.5. Checks for the proper operation
We recommend installing a pressure gauge on both inlet and outlet pipes to allow the operator to easily control the proper pump functioning in relation to the required operating point: in case of cavitation or other malfunctions, there will be obvious pressure fluctuations. Check the differential pressure of the pump between the suction and discharge connections to verify that it works in the point of work provided. Check that the absolute pressure at suction is not so low to cause the cavitation.
CAUTION The absolute pressure at pump suction (m) must be at least 0,5 to 1 m, the vapour pressure of the pumped liquid, in order to avoid cavitation. Cavitation should always be avoided as it is very dangerous for the structure of the pump. Do not dry run the pump!
Commissioning and operator training
With regards to the proper commissioning, starting and controls to be carried out before, during and after the first start, please refer to APPENDIX B, which must be filled and returned to M PUMPS to activate product warranty.
Doc. ISM0076_MANUALE_CN SEAL-MV_ENG_REV04.DOCX Pag. 21/49
The M PUMPS PROCESS series CN SEAL-MV are not reversible so the rotation cannot be reversed. The proper direction is clockwise. If you put in front of the pump casing, an arrow indicates the correct direction of rotation; to reverse the direction of rotation may cause damages to the pump. To control the direction of rotation, give and immediately remove voltage, then observe the direction of rotation.
ROTATION SENSE:
Make sure that rotating parts, such as flexible coupling or other related organs, are always protected when the pump is running.
Operators using the pump must have read this manual in the sections committed to the functioning, use and maintenance, as well as being qualified to fully understand the features and to be able to identify the problems of the pump. By carrying out the functions mentioned in the previous section and all controls listed in APPENDIX B and in the maintenance register, the pump is ready for use.
14.6. Self-priming pumps and non-self-priming pumps
CN SEAL-MV pumps are not self-priming: Make sure that the pump is always filled with the pumping liquid to avoid any damage. Use a back flow check valve to stop reverse flow when operating with suction lift, dry run should be avoided.
14.7. Coupling of the pump to the motor
If pump and motor have to be coupled, respect the following sequences to proceed with the installation:
Fit the two elastic coupling halves on the pump and the motor.
Pag. 22/49 Doc. ISM0076_MANUALE_CN SEAL-MV_ENG_REV04.DOCX
- Place the motor, insert thicknesses (about 5mm), under motor flange, so that the two shafts (pump and
motor) are coaxial.
- Leave a space of 3mm between the two elastic coupling halves, and then block the motor with the
provided screws.
-
14.8. Features and installation of pump and motor assembly
The shafts of the pump and the motor have already been adjusted and aligned as an extension of one another. For installation of the plant it is necessary to respect the sequence of actions:
- The base plate must be affixed to an horizontal plane, using also thickness; - Tighten the nuts of the bolts; - Check the shafts alignment and the motor alignment and repeat these actions if necessary (described in
the paragraph “Alignment of the coupling”)
14.9. ALIGNMENT OF THE COUPLING
Place a straight edge on the coupling. Insert or remove any thickness necessary to bring the
motor at the correct height, so that the bottom edge of the ruler is placed on both halves of the
coupling for the entire length;
Repeat the same check on both sides of
the coupling, at the height of the shaft.
Turn the motor shaft so that the bottom
edge of the straight edge touches both
halves of the coupling for the entire
length;
Reinstall coupling guard.
14.10. Alignment tolerances and coupling
The maximum allowed tolerances for the two halves alignment of the coupling, to be verified with the
comparator, are:
TYPE OF COUPLING OFFSET ANGLE
Short flexible coupling
(3000 rpm)
0.05mm 0.04mm for coupling with
diameter 100mm.
Flexible coupling with
spacer (3000 rpm)
0.07mm for spacer 100mm. 0.04mm for coupling with
diameter 100mm.
Flexible coupling with
spacer (3000 rpm)
0.07mm for spacer 300mm. 0.04mm for coupling with
diameter 200mm.
14.11. Alignment of Hot pumps
When operation of a pump at less than, or greater, than 20°C temperature would cause alignment
changes due to thermal effects on the pump's pedestal position, final alignment must be made with the
pump and driver at their actual operating temperature; else there can be no assurance that pump and
driver are in alignment while operating. Driver temperature change from ambient to operation
temperature will also affect alignment. A hot check can only be made after the unit has been in
Doc. ISM0076_MANUALE_CN SEAL-MV_ENG_REV04.DOCX Pag. 23/49
operation a sufficient length of time to assume its NORMAL operating temperature and conditions. If
the unit has been correctly cold set, parallel misalignment will be within 0.05 mm (0.002 in.) TIR and
the angular misalignment will be within 0.025 mm (0.001 in.) when in operation. If not make
adjustments.
15. INTENDED USE OF THE PUMP. IMPROPER USE. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONING.PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT DURING USE.
15.1. Intended use of the pump
The pump works correctly if the parameters specified in the APPENDIX B and paragraphs

PROCESS;
There are no damaged parts of the pump;
All the warning stickers and safety licence plates are present and in good condition and are operating the
emergency stop buttons (check through a test).
CAUTION At the start, immediately check the pressure gauge placed in the discharge: if the
discharge pressure reaches the nominal value quickly, stop the pump and try
staring. Check the pump and piping to make sure that there is no leakage of liquid
from the plant. A noisy pump is a symptom of a malfunction that represent a
failure in the short term. A very low frequency and with a rumbling can indicate
the state of cavitation; an excessive noise of the motor can be caused by a wear of
a bearing.
15.3. Not permitted use
While maintaining the conditions of use indicated in the paragraph “TECHNICAL DATA”, the ways in
which the pump should not be used are given here. To avoid damaging the pump, it is forbidden to use it
in the following conditions:
PROHIBITION Start the pump dry: the pump casing must be full of liquid.
Run the pump dry for more than 1 minute;
Mare the pump work with inlet valve and /or outlet closed: the heat
generated by the impeller, by mechanical seal and bearings will boil
the liquid, which will cause pump cavitation/vibration, the impeller
damaging and the bearings collapse;
The pump flow should never be adjusted by the valve located in the
suction pipe, which must be kept fully open, start and or make the
pump work if there are losses;
Start the pump if there are losses;
Change working condition of the pump without having consulted
the M PUMPS PROCESS Technical Office;
Loosen the pump connections while under pressure;
Pag. 24/49 Doc. ISM0076_MANUALE_CN SEAL-MV_ENG_REV04.DOCX
Try to clean the pump while it is running;
Run the pump in the opposite direction to that shown in the pump
casing;
Run the pump over nominal temperature and pressure;
Pumping liquids containing solid particles of any size, without
written consent of M PUMPS PROCESS or substances that can
attack chemically or erode the inside of the pump;
Remove guards and shelters while the pump is running;
Act on electrical parts installed without first removing the tension,
not to alter the safety devices installed, do not activate repeatedly
the command buttons.
DANGER It is incorrect any use of the pump other than that mentioned in the paragraph
“Instructions for a proper use reasonably foreseeable”.
M PUMPS PROCESS disclaims any liability damages to things and people related
to uses for which the pump was not specifically designed and constructed.
Also the ways in which certain situations of danger might present as a result of improper use, are
prohibited.
16. RESIDUAL RISKS AND PROTECTION MEASURES TO BE TAKEN

20. PERIODIC AND EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance and use are essential factors to ensure the functionality and pump lifetime.
20.1. Cleaning components
To clean all surfaces of the pump and centering surfaces, use possibly methyl alcohol. Use paper towels
instead. Do not use solvents and other corrosive liquids to avoid damaging it;
20.2. Periodic preventive maintenance
Instructions relating to maintenance activities whose implementation do not require specific skills that
can then be made by users of the pump, are given. They are operations and inspections planned on
issues considered important for technical, operational and security staff, determined on the basis of the
knowledge gained from M PUMPS PROCESS. If the hydraulic pump is washed with jet in pressure,
prevent the entry of water into the terminal of the motor.
DANGER Do not throw water on the pump hot components: components can explode in case
of sudden cooling generating projection of metallic material and leakage of hot
fluid in pressure and hazardous to health. Do not give strokes and pressures on the
bearings, you would cause the formation of micro-cracks which can cause serious
damages.

In Appendix A is a list of periodic maintenance and inspections to be completed each time you perform
such operations.
20.2.1. Emptying of the fluid contained in the pump
Before disassembling, you must empty the liquid from the pump according to the following steps:
Close the valves present in the inlet and outlet pipes, and in the cooling pipe;
Unscrew the drain plug;
When emptied, screw the drain plug again.
If hazardous to health liquids are pumped, wear suitable personal protective equipment.
20.2.2. Draining the oil contained in the pump
If the pump is lubricated with oil (bare shaft versions):
Remove the oil drain plug;
Drain the oil and collected it without dispersing into the environment;
Replace the drain plug .
If there are fluids hazardous to health, wear personal protective equipment suitable before coming into
contact with the liquid.
20.3. Extraordinary maintenance
The extraordinary maintenance operations concern the activities that are beyond those typically
programmable and executable; they require precise technical expertise by qualified personnel, and then
you should contact M PUMPS PROCESS. Delivery is the one shown in the back cover of this manual.
DANGER If it becomes necessary to disassemble the pump, you must remember that the
liquid should be collected and disposed in accordance to existing environmental
laws. If the pump should be sent to M PUMPS PROCESS it must be drained, and
should not contain any traces of liquid pumped.
21. REPAIR AND PARTS REPLACEMENT
The pump must always be kept in optimum conditions of operation.
Most of the spare parts have clear and comprehensive references for their identification. It is important
that the spares are replaced by similar ones so that they can be considered equivalent in quality and
Doc. ISM0076_MANUALE_CN SEAL-MV_ENG_REV04.DOCX Pag. 33/49
safety: to order original spare parts, contact M PUMPS PROCESS referring to the model of the pump,
employee number, description of the component and the quantity needed.
When you see elements with rust, cracks, etc, you must perform all replacements/repairs necessary to
re-establish the conditions of the pump safe working. In any case you should always ask an opinion M
PUMPS PROCESS before any intervention.
22. The periodic maintenance specified in the“ PERIODIC AND EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE”
To allow a smooth running for a long time is necessary to make the required maintenance.
Operators should make frequent visual inspections to check that the pump is running smoothly without
noise or vibration, and that the discharge pressure is holding steady, without fluctuation, at the correct
figure. Over-heating of the pump or motor bearings is cause for alarm. The bearing housing should not
be more than 50°C above ambient temperature, nor should it exceed 80°C (too hot to touch) in any
event. If the bearings overheat, shut the pump down immediately, investigate the cause, and take
corrective action.
22.1. Pump disassembling
If the pump has pumped hot liquids, make sure that it has been cooled before disassembly. The pump
may have pumped liquid hazardous to health is therefore necessary to wear personal protective
equipment.
Before to proceed with disassembling, follow carefully the decommissioning instructions, at paragraph
20.2.
The activities of disassembly and maintenance of the pump should be conducted in full compliance with
current health and safety regulations. Some spare parts may have potential health risk to the operators:
DANGER
Refer to Safety paragraph of the present manual prior to start any maintenance
activity.
CAUTION M PUMPS PROCESS disclaims any liability for damage to property and people and
will invalidate the warranty if you install non original.
Please refer to following cross section for part numbers and relative identification.
Before to disassemble the pump assembly, the pump must be isolated from the system closing suction
and discharge plant valves, drained of liquid and cooled, if pump is handling hot liquid.
Before attempting any maintenance work on pumps in vacuum service, the pumps must be isolated from
suction and discharge system then carefully vented balance pressure in pump casing to atmospheric
pressure.
Remove the pipe plug(s) from the top of the bearing housing(s) and check to see that oil rings are riding
free on the pump shaft and are not hung up.
CAUTION Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to or destruction of
Pag. 34/49 Doc. ISM0076_MANUALE_CN SEAL-MV_ENG_REV04.DOCX
equipment.

and remove through the large opening in the support head.
i) Remove the casing cover gasket (16) from the casing (1) or casing cover (9) and discard.
j) Move the pullout element to a safe, clean work area for further disassembly.
22.1.2. Pull Out Element Disassembly
All gaskets and O-rings removed during maintenance are to be discarded and replaced with new ones to
ensure proper sealing during subsequent operation.
As a reminder of the orientation of the casing cover and the bearing housing you might match mark
these parts before separating them;
however, the OUTLINE drawing shows the factory orientation.
To disassemble the pullout element, soft cable (or equivalent) and lifting equipment should be handy
and used for heavy parts. Proceed as follows:
a) Secure bearing housing (32) to workbench in a position that will allow impeller (7) and casing cover
(9) to be pulled away from shaft (12) and bearing housing (32).

clamp it just enough to keep it from turning when thrust bearing lock nut (26) is broken loose.
s) Bend back tab on thrust bearing lock washer (25). Unscrew thrust bearing lock nut (26).
Doc. ISM0076_MANUALE_CN SEAL-MV_ENG_REV04.DOCX Pag. 37/49
Facing the bearing nut, turn it clockwise to loosen. Remove lock nut and lock washer from shaft.
t) Remove shaft from vice and press bearings (15 – 14) off shaft with hydraulic press, if available;
otherwise, leave shaft in vice and pull bearings off shaft with a bearing puller. Slide the deflector ring
(23) off of the shaft.
u) If your pump is oil lubricated: The inner bearing housing cover (29.2) should only be removed if
there is evidence of leakage. If the cover is to be removed, remove the cap screws and slide the cover
out of the bearing housing.
23. EXAMINATION OF PARTS
Used parts must be inspected before assembly to ensure the pump will subsequently run properly.
In particular, fault diagnosis is essential to enhance pump and plant reliability.
To perform a good visual inspection and to obtain the highest degree of cleanliness, which is essential to
the correct fit and balance of all rotating parts, the shaft must be stripped of all parts. The visual
inspection consists of examining the following parts for those conditions that commonly impair pump
operation. Where the corrective action may not be apparent to a journeyman millwright or a more
extensive examination is required, the inspection item is cross-referenced to a detailed procedure.
Unless noted below, all damaged parts should be replaced rather than repaired.
23.1. Cleaning Agents
When the pump is used in the steam generator feed, the boiler feed, the reactor feed, or other such steam
(or water) circuit, all internal metal parts of the pump including the case should be cleaned with a
nonpetroleum-base cleaning agent such as alcohol or acetone or a steam cleaner that uses steam from
demineralised water. The basic concern should be to insure that the solvent is compatible with the
pumpage. Petroleum-base agents such as dry cleaning solvent and kerosene may be used for cleaning
internal parts when such agent will dissolve in the liquid being pumped without inducing an ill effect.
Petroleum-base agents should be used to clean the bearings and their housings.
Fumes from alcohol, acetone, petroleum solvents and other such chemicals are injurious to health and
may ignite from a spark; make certain that the area where they are used is well ventilated and have a fire
extinguisher handy.
23.1.1. Casing, seal housing and impeller
a) Inspect for erosion, foreign object damage and cracks; erosion and damage must be corrected before
final assembly.
b) Inspect impeller cap nut (20) and impeller (7) for nicks, gouges, galling and rust. c) Inspect impeller
bore for correct fit with shaft (See Section 6.9.2 ”Checking Fit Between Impeller Bore and Shaft”).
d) Inspect running surfaces of stuffing box bushing (10), shaft (12), case wearing ring (3.1),
casing cover wearing ring (3.2), and impeller wearing rings (8.1–8.2) for nicks, burrs, scratches,
scouring and excessive wear.
Concentric and smooth surfaces are required (See Section 6.9.1 “Wear Rings”).
e) Replace as necessary.
23.1.2. Mechanical seal
a) Mechanical seal stationary and rotating faces should be inspected for signs of wear or cracks and
replaced as necessary.
Pag. 38/49 Doc. ISM0076_MANUALE_CN SEAL-MV_ENG_REV04.DOCX
b) It is recommended that when reassembling mechanical seal new "O" rings and gaskets be used.
c) Refer to manufacturers drawing for assembly of mechanical seal. Refer to mechanical seal section
within this manual for further details.
23.1.3. Throat Bush (If fitted)
a) Check the throat bush and replace if required.
Note that the bush outside diameter should be the same diameter as the adjacent impeller wear ring.
23.1.4. Shaft
Shaft (12) for scratches, nicks, burrs, and distortion; absolutely smooth surfaces and a straight shaft are
required.
After the shaft is inspected for damage as described above, it must be checked for straightness before
reassembling the rotating parts. When making the check do not turn the shaft in its lathe centers. It is
possible for the lathe centers of a straight shaft to be off center slightly, resulting in a false indication of
a
bent shaft.
1. Set shaft in soft-faced V-blocks, precision rollers (or equivalent).
2. Check straightness by taking dial indicator readings all along the shaft while it is rotated; total runout
of shaft must not exceed 0.04 mm (0.0015 in). If runout is exceeded shaft must be coldstraightened or
replaced.
Application of heat to straighten shaft will cause more distortion.
The term "soft-faced V-blocks" refers to V-blocks faced with metal that is softer than the shaft, for
example, V-blocks faced with copper.
23.1.5. Gaskets and O-rings
After dismantling, discard and replace.
23.1.6. Bearings
a) It is recommended that bearings are not re-used after any removal from the shaft. In any case the
bearings must be replaced not after 25000 operating hours.
b) If the bearing cannot be removed with the tools available never use a torch under any circumstances.
Split the outer ring with a small hand grinder, saw through the ball/roller retainer, and split the inner
ring about three quarters through with a grinder and break with a cold steel chisel.
Do not attempt to inspect condition of bearings until they have been cleaned.
c) Solvent for cleaning bearings should be in a clean container. Place bearings in solvent and let soak for
a short time. Agitate the bearing around near the top of the container, giving it a turn now and then until
it is clean. Rinse in a clean container of fresh solvent.
Do not spin dirty bearings. Rotate them slowly while washing.
d) Dry thoroughly cleaned bearings. If an air hose is used for drying, make sure it is clean dry air.
Do not allow the bearings to spin by force of air. Hold the inner and outer rings to prevent bearing from
spinning.
Doc. ISM0076_MANUALE_CN SEAL-MV_ENG_REV04.DOCX Pag. 39/49
e) Inspect bearings immediately. If there is any question as to the condition of a bearing do not hesitate
to replace it. There are many conditions that contribute to the deterioration of the bearings. A qualified
bearing representative should be consulted if there is any question of bearing condition.
f) Inspected bearings which will be reused should be packed with new grease or dipped in clean
lubricating oil, covered with clean lint free rags or other suitable covering and placed in a clean box or
carton until ready for installation.
Under no circumstances the bearings are to be left exposed.
23.1.7. Labyrinths or bearing isolators (if fitted)
a) The lubricant, bearings and bearing housing seals are to be inspected for contamination and damage.
If oil bath lubrication is utilised, these provide useful information on operating conditions within the
bearing housing.
b) If bearing damage is not due to normal wear and the lubricant contains adverse contaminants, the
cause should be corrected before the pump is returned to service.
c) Labyrinth seals and bearing isolators should be inspected for damage but are normally non wearing
parts and can be re-used.
d) Bearing seals are not totally leak free devices.
Oil from these may cause staining adjacent to the bearings.
23.2. Pump reassembling
To reassemble the pump, follow maintenance procedure (enclosed…..) in reverse order. Clean each
component before assembly; make sure that all parts are free from dirt, metallic particles, etc.
24. DECOMMISSIONING, DISMANTLING AND DISPOSAL OF MATERIALS
24.1. Decommissioning
For an eventual long time decommissioning, it is advisable to apply some simple precautions to preserve
correctly the pump.
Make the pump run with clean water (or other suitable solvent compatible with the materials of the
pump) for several minutes, in order to avoid the risk of liquid precipitation or deposits. Disconnect from
the electric power / liquid supply and place it in a protected site.
During the commissioning after a long period of stocking, carefully follow all recommendations for
commissioning described at paragraph 3.5 of this manual.
CAUTION A good stocking will guarantee against unpleasant incidents during the restarting of
the pump. M PUMPS PROCESS disclaims any responsibility for machines stored
incorrectly. If you intend to stop using this pump it is recommended to make it
inoperative.
24.2. Demolition and dismantling
The user must comply with the legislation on environmental conservation and will have to deal with the
disposal and elimination of materials and harmful substances of the pump components. It is
recommended to destroy the identification plates of the pump and any other document.
