2.1
Your centrifugal pumps will only give you completely trouble free and satisfactory service on condition that it is installed with due care and properly maintained. It is absolutely essential that the instructions contained in this manual be strictly observed and that the pumps are not operated under conditions which differ from those specified under our `Operating Conditions'. This operating instruction manual dose not take any account of any safety regulations which may apply to the installation site, and the site engineer & the site operator is responsible for notifying our erection staff of any such regulations and seeing that they are complied with. The type series, pump sizes, main operating data and the works order number are all stamped on the name plate affixed to the pump. Please make sure to quote this information every time you write to us in respect of queries, repeat orders and more particularly when ordering spare parts. In case you are using the pump for applications other than water, please ensure that you have a specific confirmation from the dealer or KSB.
Make sure the concrete foundation has set before mounting the pumpset. The surface of the foundation must be completely horizontal and perfectly flat.
2.2
Mounting
Position the pumpset on the foundation and level using a precision spirit level on the discharge nozzle of pump. Ensure the gap between the two coupling halves is as given on the general arrangement drawing. Always fit shims to the left and right of the anchor bolts, between the baseplate / foundation frame and the foundation. If the shims are more than 800 mm apart, position extra shims equidistant between them. All shims must seat perfectly flush with the baseplate / frame.
1.1
Handling
When handling the complete pumpset or bare pump attach ropes to the pump and motor as shown (not through the motor eyebolt).
Fig. no. 3 : Fitting shims
Uniformly tighten up securing means.Baseplates have to be grouted with non-shrinking mortar up to the upper edge of the frame after having been fixed in position.
2.3
After the baseplate has been fixed in position carefully check the coupling and if necessary, realign the pumpset (with the motor). Prior to checking the alignment and /or aligning, loosen supporting foot (183) and tighten again without transmitting any strain. Please check the alignment of pump motor and coupling even though they are supplied ready mounted on baseframe. The pumpset to be aligned radially and axially within 0.1 mm by installing dial indicaters as shown in fig. no. 4 and without pipe connection.The gap between the two coupling halves must be the same at all points (minimum 3 points) on the circumference; this can be measured using calipers or a feeler gauge. The alignment should be carried with & without pipe connections and should be within limits. For liquids handling more than 1050C; cold alignment & hot alignment both should be carried out on pumpset.
MEGA
2.4 Connecting the piping
Never use the pump itself as an anchorage for the piping. Suction lift lines should be laid with a rising slope towards the pump and suction head line with a downward slope towards the pump.(Fig. 5c, 5b, 5d). Any thermal expansion of the piping (due to high temperatures) must be compensated by suitable means, so as not to impose any additional load on the pump. The pipelines should be anchored in close proximity to the pump and should be connected to the latter without transmitting any stress or strain, nor should weight of the piping be loaded on to the pump. Fig. 5a - The nominal sizes of the pipelines should be atleast equal to the nominal sizes of the pump nozzles.(fig. 5a, 5d) or as recommended in the performance curve. Please ask dealer or KSB incase the nominal sizes are not conveyed. We recommend the incorporation of suitable pressure gauges close to suction & discharge flanges and also check valves or non-return valves and isolating valves in the system, depending on the type of the installation and pump.

Before commissioning a new installation, thoroughly clean, flush and blow through all vessels, piping & connections. Welding beads, scale and other impurities get dislodged after a certain period of operation; it is necessary to fit a strainer in the suction line to prevent these entering the pump. The total cross section of the holes in the strainer should be three times the cross section of the piping in order to avoid excessive pressure loss across the strainer due to clogging.
Fig. 5b : Suction pit above the pump, suction pipe with downward slope towards pump.
The conical strainer consists of a coarse strainer fronted by a fine strainer with a 2.0 mm mesh and 0.5 mm diameter wire, made of corrosion resistant material, (i.e. Stainless Steel) ref. fig. 6.

3.1.2.1. Stuffing Box
Soft-packed stuffing box reduce the flow of leakage liquid at the clearance gap between casing cover and shaft protection sleeve when the pressure inside the pump is higher than atmospheric. Conversely, on pumps which operate on suction lift pressure, the soft-packed stuffing box prevents the ingress of air into the pump. Sealing is effected by means of soft packings arranged in a number of rings in the annular space between the discharge cover (163) and the shaft protection sleeve (524) and lightly compressed by the stuffing box gland (452). A lantern ring (458) is also inserted in the packing compartment, at the position shown in the cross-sectional drawing. The lantern ring must register beneath the drilled hole in the discharge cover (163), to enable the sealing liquid to enter. The pressure of the liquid should be 1 to 4 bar above the pressure existing in the packing compartment of the stuffing box. The packing of the stuffing box should be carried out with great care, to avoid an excessively high radial pressing force of the packing rings against the shaft protection sleeve, which might damage the latter. If the shaft protection sleeve is scored or grooved, even a new packing cannot be expected to last very long in service. A newly packed stuffing box should leak profusely at first. If this leakage does not cease of its own after a relatively short period of operation, the nuts on the stuffing box (452) gland should be tightened slowly and evenly while the pump is running, until the stuffing box only drips slightly. Make sure that the stuffing box gland (452) is tightened evenly and not a skew, as otherwise the shaft protection sleeve (524) might be damaged. If the newly packed stuffing box starts to emit smoke when the pump is started up for the first time, the pump should be switched off. If the smoking persists after the pump has been started up again and operated several times in succession, the nuts on the gland should be slackened slightly, or the stuffing box should be inspected if necessary.
3.2
Cutting the gland packing
Start-up
Start the pump against a closed discharge valve only. Once the pump has reached full speed, slowly open the discharge valve to set the duty point flow indicated on the name plate. After the pump has reached its working temperature and/ or if leakage occurs, tighten bolts (901.01) with the pump disconnected / switched off.
The following packing rings are then inserted into the packing compartment one by one, making sure that the butt joint of each ring is offset by 900 approx. in relation to the butt joint of the preceding ring. The individual rings are pushed home into the packing compartment with the aid of the stuffing box gland (452). The packing rings should only be pressed lightly against one another. They should be inser ted in the packing compartment in such a way that a clear gap of 6 to 8 mm is left at the outer end of the compartment for the positive guide of the stuffing box gland (452). The inserted packing rings should then be compressed moderately with the aid of the stuffing box gland (452) and the nuts (920). Then the nuts (920) should be slackened again by one to two complete turns, and thereafter tightened lightly by hand. The correct and even seating of the stuffing box gland (452) should be checked when the pump is subjected to suction pressure, by inserting a feeler gauge between the stuffing box gland (452) and the shaft protection sleeve (524).
3.3
Shutdown
Close the discharge isolating valve. The discharge isolating valve can remain open if the discharge line is fitted with a non-return device on condition there is back-pressure. Switch off the motor, making sure the pump set runs down smoothly and evenly to a stand still. If the pumpset is to remain out of service for long periods, close the isolating valve in the suction line and close all connections. If there is danger of freezing and/or if the pump is to be out of service for long period, then the pump must be drained or otherwise protect it against freezing.

Dismantling
Procedure : 1. Disconnect from power supply. 2. For oil-lubricated pumps drain-off the oil as described in 4.2.2. 3. Detach all auxiliary supply pipe lines. 4. Remove coupling guard. 5. Remove coupling half from the pump shaft. Refer fig.no.11
The pump must run quietly and evenly at all times. The pump must never run dry. The bearing temperature may be allowed 500C above room temperature, but must not exceed 800C(measured at the outside of the bearing housing). Do not run the pump for a long period against a closed discharge valve. Pumps with mechanical seals experience minor or invisible (vapour) leakage. The seal is maintenance-free. Stand-by pumps should be started up and immediately shut down again once a week to keep them operational. Flexible parts of coupling which shows signs of wear should be replaced in good time.
For coupling without spacer / intermediate sleeve: 1. Disconnect motor from power supply. 2. Remove discharge and suction branch from pipe line. 3. Uncouple pump and motor. 4. Loosen and remove motor form baseplate. 5. Remove supporting foot (183) from the baseplate and loosen bolts (901.01) on discharge cover. Refer fig.no.11. 6. Pull out bearing bracket with discharge cover and complete rotor (assembled unit). (With larger pumps, suspend or support bearing bracket to prevent the rotating assembly from falling over.)

1. Remove spacer/intermediate sleeve of the coupling. 2. Remove supporting foot (183) from the baseplate and loosen bolts (901.01) on discharge cover. Refer fig.no.11 & Cross sectional drawing. 3. Pull out bearing bracket with discharge cover and complete rotor (assembled unit). If the pump has been in operation for a long time some parts may be difficult to remove. In this case use a brand name penetrating oil or suitable pull-off device.
Procedure : Remove the drain plug (903.06) and drain off the oil. When the bearing bracket is empty, refit the drain plug & refill the bearing bracket with oil from vent plug hole. Check oil level with dipstick (fig. no. 9).

Pump delivers insufficient liquid
Bearings overheating
Motor overloaded
Cause
Remedy 1)
Pump leaks
The pump generates excessively high differential pressure Excessively high back pressure The pump and \ or piping are incompletely vented or primed. Suction line or impeller clogged
Check the plant for dirt. Fit larger impeller 2) Vent or prime the pump and piping completely Remove the deposites in the pump and / or piping
Formation of air pockets in the piping Alter piping lyout. If necessary, fit a vent valve NPSH avaliable is too low (on positive suction head installations) Check the liquid level. Mount the pump at lower level. Open isolating valve in the suction line fully. Alter suction line, if the losses in the suction line are Sealing liquid passage is clogged; clean it out. If necessary, arrange a sealing liquid supply from an outside source, or increase sealing liquid pressure. Fit a new shaft seal \ gland packing. Change over two phases of the power supply cable. Increase the speed
Excessive wear of the pump internals Repalce worn components by new ones. Pump back pressure is lower than that specified in the purchase order. Adjust duty point accurately. In case of persistant overloading, trim the impeller, if necessary.2) 2)
Specifc gravity or viscosity of the fluid pumped is higher than that specified in the purchase order. Gland cover too tight or tightened askew Excessive rotational speed. Defective seal
Correct. Reduce speed 2) Renew seal between volute casing and the discharge cover

Bearings overheating
Motor overloaded
Cause
Remedy 1)
Pump leaks
Check flushing / sealing liquid pressure. Renew shaft sleeve. Fit new shaft seal.
Grooving, score marks or roughness Renewshaftsleeve. Fit new shaft seal. on shaft protection sleeve / shaft surface. The pump runs noisy. Correct the suction conditions. Align pump. Rebalance rotor. Increase the suction pressure at the pump suction nozzle. Rectify. Check the piping connections and pump fixing bolts. Reduce the gap between the pipe supports, if necessary. Support piping using antivibration material.
Pump set misaligned. The pump is warped or resonance vibrations in the piping.
Excessive axial thrust 2).
Clean the balance holes in impeller. Fit new casing wearing rings. Reduce quantity or top up lubricant, or change lubricant quality. Restore correct coupling gap in accordence with the data on the installation plan. Replace the defective fuse. Check the electrical connections. Clean the rotor. Rebalance the rotor dynamically. Fit new bearings. Insrease the minimum rate of flow. Increase the cross-section of the circulation in the liquid line.
Too much or too little, or unsuitable lubricant quality. The specified coupling gap has not been maintained. The motor is running on two phases only.
The rotor is out of balance. Defective bearings. Insufficient rate of flow. Faults in circulation liquid supply.
1) The pump should be made pressureless before attempting to remedy in parts under pressure. 2) Please refer KSB.
