When restarting pumps after storage, fill the pump with hot water through the manometer connections and manually turn the pump shaft . Before start-up, ensure all instructions in the start-up procedures are followed, including checking the lubrication of the motor, confirming the direction of rotation, and ensuring the piping is free of foreign objects and filled with liquid . Remove any air or gas before start-up, and check for noise and vibrations immediately after the pump is started .
Before the pump bearing lantern is secured to the pump casing, it must be aligned for proper clearance between the case wear ring and the impeller, adhering to specified tolerances . Proper alignment is crucial as it ensures that the rotating elements do not contact fixed components, minimizing wear and tear and maintaining pump efficiency .
During long-term storage, the pump should be flushed with pure hot water and allowed to air dry before being flushed with "Mobil Arma 25" through the manometer connections . Preservation is necessary to prevent brinelling of bearings and sticking of seal faces, thus ensuring the pump remains in good condition and is ready for operation when needed .
To minimize pressure loss and flow resistance in a pump system, it is essential to avoid tight bends and substantial reductions in the piping system size. Suction and pressure lines should be connected to the pump flanges without strain. It's crucial to ensure that flanges are absolutely parallel and to use compensators to absorb stresses at fixed points . Additionally, the static suction height plus the pressure loss, NPSH value, and steam pressure should not exceed 10 mWc at sea level to prevent cavitation .
Standard pumps should be installed in dry rooms with temperatures between +10 and 40°C, free from aggressive atmospheres . If installation in other conditions, such as outdoors or damp rooms, is necessary, it must be specified in the technical data sheet to ensure proper operation .
Before connecting piping to the pump, it is vital to test the entire piping system for pressure and leakages, ensuring it is flushed clean. If the test occurs with the pump installed, the testing pressure must not exceed the pump's specified testing pressure, as exceeding it could damage the pump's gaskets or flanges . Furthermore, all other connections, such as lubrication and cooling systems, must be verified to ensure they are in working order .
Before operating a pump with an electric motor, verify that there is sufficient cable length for motor removal without disconnection. An emergency stop switch must be installed near the pump. Ensure electric connections are sufficiently dimensioned as per the technical data sheet . Additionally, confirm that all protective screens, guards, and the direction of rotation are correct, and check that there are no obstructions to accessing the pump for essential inspections or replacements .
Filling the pump and suction pipe with liquid and carefully releasing any trapped air or gas before startup is crucial to prevent cavitation and ensure the pump can generate the necessary suction pressure to function correctly . Starting the pump with an air-filled suction line can lead to pump damage and inefficiency, as it disrupts the hydraulic balance within the system .
The foundation for a pump must be rigid and substantial enough to absorb vibrations and take up stress from hydraulic strains and pipeline loads. It should provide sufficient accessibility for inspection and maintenance, and its surface must be level and horizontal . An inadequate foundation can lead to damage to the pump system, and such damage is not covered by a guarantee .
Recommended accessories for a pump system include a suitable filter installed in the suction line to ensure the mechanical shaft sealing runs with clean water. If the mechanical seal lacks external cooling, a filter must be placed in the circulation pipe. It is advised to use a large area filter that can easily be cleaned . These accessories are significant because they help maintain the integrity of the pump and improve its lifespan by preventing damage from debris and ensuring efficient operation.
