Pump Selection

The necessary pump capacity and pump head for a refrigeration application are determined based on a number
of factors, including:

The total refrigeration load


The type of refrigerant being used
The temperature of the liquid refrigerant
The recirculation rate of the system
The flow resistances (static and dynamic) that must be overcome (i.e., pump head)

Pump Capacity

Knowing the type of refrigerant, the temperature, and the refrigeration load, refer to either Chart 1 or 2, below, to
determine the GPM/TR (gallons per minute of liquid per ton of refrigeration) required. These capacity charts are
based on liquid refrigerant at saturated conditions.

Next, select a recirculation rate either from Table 1, or use the rate recommended by the evaporator manufacturer.

Now multiply the GPM/TR factor (from Chart 1 or 2) by the refrigeration load of the system (TR) and then by the
recirculation rate to obtain the required pump capacity in GPM (gallons per minute).

For example, suppose you had a 200 TR ammonia system operating at


-20F. If the evaporators are set up in an Upfeed configuration, you might use a
Recirculation Rate of 4.
From Chart 1 for ammonia you see that the GPM / TR is about 0.061, so the
required pump capacity is:

0.061 (GPM / TR) X 200 (TR) X 4 = 48 GPM

Pump Head
The pump size required depends on both the capacity (GPM) and the resistance that the pump must overcome to
move the refrigerant. This resistance is the pump head, measured in feet, and is equivalent to the effort needed
to lift a column of fluid a given height.

The pump head is made up of a number of components, including:


The height difference between the pump and the evaporator
The length, diameter and type of pipe between the pump and evaporator
The valves and fittings in the liquid feed line
The type and temperature of the refrigerant that is being pumped

The calculation of pump head is beyond the scope of this manual. A competent refrigeration system designer will
be able to calculate the pump head.

Once the pump head has been determined, use Chart 3 to select the pump that can deliver the flow (GPM)
required by your application and exceeds the head (feet) required by your application.

For example, suppose the pump head for the 48 GPM requirement was 100 feet.
From Chart 3 you can see that the HRP-5040 can supply about 45 GPM at 100 ft. of
head. This is a little too small, so the next size pump (HRP-5050) should be selected.

The HRP-5050 will supply up to 60 GPM at 100 ft. head.

Pump Installation and Application

Pump Mounting and Electrical Connection

For pump dimensions and weights see Figures 1 & 2.

The HRP-Series pumps can be mounted by either of two methods: foot mounting or suspension mounting, shown
in Figures 3 & 4 below.

If the pump is foot mounted, be sure the pump is properly aligned with the inlet and discharge piping. Never use
the mounting bolts to pull the pump down onto the frame. Remember the pipes will shrink at low temperatures,
increasing any stresses in the pipes and in the pump mounting feet. Use shims if necessary to ensure proper
alignment. Also, allow sufficient space for the pump to be moved and tilted for maintenance, as shown in Figure
3.

While foot mounting is satisfactory, suspension mounting offers a number of advantages, including:
Reduced thermal stresses on the piping,
Easier access to the conical inlet strainer, and
Easier access to the drip tray.

The threaded rods used for suspension mounting should be long enough to allow the pump to be lowered and
pivoted for maintenance, as shown in Figure 4.

Whichever mounting scheme is used, sufficient space should always be allowed for servicing and inspecting the
pump and its valves, as well as for normal ice accumulation around the pump. Also, be sure the pump flange
connections are properly aligned. Never use the flange bolts to align or stretch the pipe. This can cause damage
to the piping or pump, especially during times of thermal contraction and expansion.

It is important that the electrical cables loop downward before entering the connection box, as shown in Figure 5.
This loop allows any condensate to flow along the cables, away from the pump. This loop should be sufficient to
allow the pump to be tilted or moved as shown in Figures 3 and 4.

A typical wiring diagram is shown in Figure 10, following a discussion of the devices that work with the pump to
ensure safe, satisfactory operation.

Typical Piping Arrangement

A typical piping arrangement for an HRP-Series refrigerant pump would consist of a liquid recirculating vessel, a
number of different types of control valves and switches, as well as the piping to connect the pump with this
equipment. Figure 6, below, and the following discussion provide some information for properly designing a safe,
well-functioning arrangement.

The HRP-5040, 5050, 8050 and 10080 pumps must be mounted such that their centerline is at least 40 inches
below the bottom of the recirculating vessel (see Figure 4). The HRP-3232s discharge connection should be at least
40 inches below the recirculating vessel, as shown in Figure 3. This will ensure that there will always be adequate
inlet pressure (Net Positive Suction Head or NPSH). The minimum liquid level above the bottom of the vessel gives
further assurance of satisfactory pump performance.

Liquid Recirculating Vessel

The recirculating vessel must comply with certain requirements to ensure a well functioning system and long
pump life. For example:

The pump must be protected from an inadequate liquid level. Either a separate low liquid level switch or an
isolated contact from an electronic level sensor must be available to shut down the pump when the liquid
level falls below a certain level.

A vortex breaker at the liquid outlet connection to the pump helps to ensure a good quality supply of liquid to
the pump. The liquid outlet nozzle should protrude approximately two inches into the shell of the vessel.
This will prevent oil and other contaminants from entering the pump.

In installations where multiple pumps are required, each pump should have its own dedicated liquid supply
connection. This will prevent interaction between pumps. Only if one pump is intended for stand-by use,
should both pumps share a common drop leg.

Drop Leg Connection

Ideally, the liquid should flow directly downward from the recirculating vessel to the pump, without horizontal
runs. This will help ensure that any gas bubbles that form between the vessel and the pump will rise back into the
vessel. Flow velocity between the vessel and the pump should not exceed 60 feet/minute.

Table 2 gives the recommended drop leg sizes for each pump. These sizes permit approximately 60 ft/min of
flow through the drop leg. Also included in the table are the recommended sizes for the pump inlet stop-valve.
This valve should be of a low pressure-drop design. The drop leg should be connected directly to the pump inlet
via a low pressure-drop stop-valve, without elbows or horizontal sections. An optional stop-valve can be supplied
with each pump.

Inlet Strainer

All of the HRP pumps are equipped with a fine-mesh conical inlet strainer, located inside the pump. An alternate,
external strainer is also available as an option. The external strainer offers the advantage that there is no need to
disconnect any piping for servicing. Simply isolate the pump with the inlet and discharge valves and evacuate the
pump via the pump-out connection (discussed later).

Easy strainer access can be especially useful during the period just after initial start-up. There is then more likely
to be a higher concentration of debris in the piping during this time and frequent inspection and cleaning of the
strainer basket is recommended.

After initial start-up, the strainer basket can either be removed for lower pressure drop to the pump inlet (the
internal conical strainer will continue to protect the pump) or left in place for continued ease of service.
Discharge Connection

Table 3 gives the recommended discharge line sizes each pump. These sizes permit approximately 300 ft/min of
flow through the discharge. Also included in the table are the recommended sizes for the pump-outlet combina-
tion stop/check valve. Low pressure-drop discharge valves are available as options with each pump.

Minimum Flow Probe


Under some operating conditions, the pump is capable of producing a significant outlet pressure without volume
flow. This situation can cause damage to the pump and system piping. Consequently, a minimum flow probe is
supplied with each pump, and must be installed in the pump discharge line (see Figure 9). If the flow velocity
drops below 40 ft./min, the pump is shut down and an indicator light is illuminated.

Pressure Limiting Valve

Installation of a pressure-limiting valve prevents the pump from exceeding its recommended maximum head
pressure. This can happen when a number of evaporators shut down in a multi-evaporator system. The valve
will also help to ensure that there is always liquid flow through the system. An optional Refrigerating Specialties
A4AL differential regulator is suggested for this purpose. See Table 4, below, for recommended valve sizes.

To determine the pressure setting for this valve, first refer to Table 5. This table shows the recommended maximum
head in feet for your particular pump. Next, find the appropriate conversion factor in Table 6 for your systems
refrigerant and operating temperature.

To convert feet of head to pressure in pounds per square inch multiply the conversion factor from Table 6 by the
recommended maximum head from Table 5.

For example, an HRP-5050 would have a maximum recommended Pump Head of


230 feet (per Table 5). If the system was operating at -20F, the Pressure Limiting
Valve should be set, using the factor from Table 6, to
230 X .293 = 67 psi

Pump Start-up

Prior to starting the pump, the entire refrigeration system should be pressure tested, vacuum tested and fully
charged with refrigerant. The pump suction and discharge valves must be fully open. Isolation valves on each side of
the pressure by-pass valve must be fully open. Any pressure differential switch must be set at least three psi above
the system static head.

Be sure there is enough refrigerant in the recirculation vessel to permit at least three minutes of running time.
Finally, be sure the pump is properly and safely wired and that all safety protection devices are in place.

Switch the motor power on. If any unusual or unexpected sounds are heard when the pump is started, immedi-
ately switch off the pump and investigate the cause.

After start-up, check and record the motor current draw (amps) and the pressure differential across the pump. If
the current or pressure difference is smaller than expected, the suction may be rotating in the wrong direction.
Incorrect pump rotation can result in cavitation, leading to impeller damage. Swapping two of the three phase
connections will reverse pump rotation.

After two hours of operation, check and record the motor current and pump pressure differential. (A significant
drop in either the current or the pressure differential could indicate a blocked inlet strainer). Check and record the
current and pressure differential every eight hours for the next two weeks. At this time, the inlet strainer should be
removed, cleaned, inspected and reinstalled. Depending on the degree of contamination, the strainer should be
inspected and cleaned at regular intervals.

Pump Operation and Maintenance

During normal operation, the pump does not require any specific maintenance. There is no need to refill or
change the oil. However, the following items should be inspected regularly:

Inlet Strainer Filter


Recirculation piping for oil contamination
Pump pressure differential
Bearing wear (see Figure 14)

At least once a year, check the pumps operational settings and safety devices. The date and other pertinent
information from each inspection should be recorded.

Before disassembling the suction and discharge connections to inspect the suction filter, both the suction and
discharge stop valves must be closed and the liquid refrigerant must be discharged through the pump-out
connection (Figure 6). Be sure the pressure in the pump has been vented to atmospheric pressure before the
flange bolts are removed.

While there is liquid refrigerant inside the pump, never close the inlet valve, discharge valve, and pump-
down connection simultaneously. Pressure increases due to vaporization of the refrigerant could damage the
pump and result in a release of refrigerant.

Before moving or servicing the pump, the refrigerant must be completely discharged.
Warming the outside of the pump WITH WARM WATER ONLY will accelerate the boiling-
off of liquid refrigerant.

NEVER USE A FLAME TO WARM-UP THE PUMP!

Purge any remaining refrigerant vapor, and vent the pump to atmospheric pressure
before loosening flange bolts.

When Pump is Switched Off:

Note that when the pump is switched off, only the inlet (suction) valve should be closed. This will prevent oil from
collecting in the pump suction housing. The discharge valve should remain open to prevent vaporized refrigerant from
being trapped in the pump.

If any oil enters the pump suction housing during shutdown, it will need to be drained before the pump is restarted.
Failure to do so will prevent the pump from operating properly and could result in damage to the pump.

Draining Oil from the Suction Housing:

Oil in the suction housing can prevent sufficient refrigerant from reaching the pump motor. This will result in overheat-
ing, and trip the built-in thermal switch.

Oil may be drained through the drain plug (Figures 12 & 13) after the liquid refrigerant has been drained from the
suction housing, as outlined previously. Carefully open the drain plug -turn to depressurize the suction housing.
Before removing the drain plug, be sure pressure in the housing has been equalized to atmospheric.

At low temperatures, oil removal can be a slow process. Warming the pump housing with warm water only may
quicken the process. Never warm the pump housing with an open flame.

Damage to the Rotor Can

In normal operation, the rotor portion of the motor is exposed directly to the liquid refrigerant. Damage to the
rotor-can could result in refrigerant leaking into the stator portion of the motor. Because the stator housing is
designed to be pressure-tight, a leaking rotor-can will not be apparent.

To determine if the rotor-can is leaking, carefully loosen the stator housing drain plug -turn. Special care should
be taken not to loosen the drain plug too much or too quickly because the stator may be pressurized. Any
ammonia in the stator will be apparent by the smell. A leak detector will be needed to determine if there is any R-22
in the stator.

Special Note on Bearing Wear

The HRP-5040, 5050, 8050 and 10080 and are equipped with a special external sensor connection that allow
detection of bearing wear while the pump is at stand-still. To check for worn bearings, remove the cap over the
sensor wire (Figure 14) and connect an ohmmeter between the sensor wire and the pump housing. Zero or low
electrical resistance indicates that the bearings are worn, and the pump is in need of repair.
