MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
WARNING
TO AVOID ANY DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT IT IS RECOMMENDED TO HAVE A TSC SUPERVISOR PRESENT
DURING INSTALLATION. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE INJURY OR POSSIBLY LOSS OF LIFE.

INSTALLATION
Unless otherwise instructed, the lubrication is drained from the power end of the pump.

Preparation
Proper pump installation requires some pre-planning before delivery to the location and the rig-up is performed. It
is difficult and expensive to correct errors in piping, pulsation dampener mounting, and tie down after they have
been fabricated and welded in place. The following outline is intended as a guide when planning your installation
and can help avoid unnecessary and expensive corrections. Refer to the illustrations for suggested piping
arrangements.

Foundation
Setting Pump
Set the pump level. This is necessary for proper distribution of the lubricating oil in the power end when the pump
is running.
Temporary Support
Plank or beam foundation matting should support the pump evenly throughout its length.
Permanent Support
Permanent installations must be levelled when the pump is set. The foundation should support the pump evenly
throughout its length. Do not lock the pump down unevenly, this will place an unnecessary stain on the frame.

Adjust-Balance
On permanent installations such as ground, platform, structural base, concrete slab, or where pump skids are bolted
down, it is essential that the skids be properly shimmed to prevent the possibility of twisting or distorting the power
frame. The pump skids must be positioned solid on all shim points with bolts loose.
Install shims at points shown in figs. 1 and 2 and observe and use caution of proper shimming to prevent twist or
distortion. The shims on all installations should extend the full width of the skid beam flanges and have a minimum
length of 12" (305 mm).

BOLT CONNECTION
Bolt connection is very important to the safety of the equipment. Care should be taken on the following issues:

It is important to install bolts in all holes of the connection and bring and toughen them to a snug tight condition
to compact the joint.

Tightening should begin at the most rigidly fixed, or stiffest point, and progress toward the free edges that will
minimize relaxation on previously tightened fasteners.

In some cases, proper tensioning of the bolts may require more than a single cycle of systematic tightening.

WARNING
PROPER BOLT TORQUE OR TURNS SHALL BE APPLIED TO FASTENERS.

PIPING INTERCONNECTION
SUCTION PIPING
Suction Piping Arrangement
TSC triplex mud pumps will operate satisfactorily with "natural" suction in many drilling situations. However, there
are circumstances that will require a "charged" suction. The piping design for a "dual" arrangement permits both
"natural" as well as "charged" suction operation. The line used for "natural" suction must be as short as possible
and preferably without bends. It must also be at least as large as the inlet of the pump and should be larger if length
exceeds six feet. The line leading to the charging pump discharge may make any bends that are necessary.
Suction Line Valves
Always use full opening valves such as gate or butterfly valves. Never use a restricting valve such as a plug valve
as this type will restrict the flow and reduce the pump efficiency.

DISCHARGE PIPING
Discharge Cross
The discharge piping can be simplified by using the forged discharge cross available from TSC. This would be at
the customer's option. The forged cross provides a mounting for the discharge pulsation dampener on top of the
cross and two end outlets for the mud lines. The cross also incorporates a side connector for mounting a pressure
gauge and easy access for cleaning the strainer. The complete assembly may be flanged directly to either side of
the pump and is designed with an integral support mounted between the cross and the pump frame.
Cross Strainer
The optional TSC discharge cross strainer incorporates a strainer pipe which should be checked and cleaned at
least once a month.
Pulsation Dampener

A discharge pulsation dampener, mounted in the discharge line of each pump, will prevent harmonic vibration from
damaging the discharge piping. For instructions on the safe operation of the high pressure discharge dampener,
refer to the documentation supplied by the manufacturer.

START UP
Confirm the following prior to start-up:

The pump has been inspected for any damage or loose components.

The charge pump is connected and is providing the correct flow rate and pressure.

The lubrication and liner wash pumps are operational.

The drive components are installed and aligned properly.

All guards and safety devices are installed.

All controls have been functionally checked.

Once the charge, lubrication and liner wash pumps are on-line, slowly bring up the prime mover to approximately
ten percent of maximum rated pinion speed (RPM) and hold for ten to fifteen minutes. Verify that there are no leaks
or unusual noises, especially any metal to metal sounds.
At ten percent speed, slowly increase the pressure on the pump until the maximum pressure is achieved, or the
prime mover power is at maximum. Back off the pressure to approximately fifty percent of the maximum rating and
slowly increase the pinion speed until it reaches the maximum. Again, verify that there are no leaks or unusual
noises or sounds. As the speed starts to approach maximum, check the temperature of the pinion and main bearing
areas. The bearing temperature rise should not exceed 70F (39C). Therefore, the pinion and main bearing areas
should not exceed 70F (39C) above the ambient temperature. Ensure the appropriate lubricant is used for the
ambient temperatures experienced during equipment operation. Section 5 Lubrication System for further
information.
At maximum speed, slowly increase the pressure on the pump until the maximum rated pressure is achieved or
power is at maximum level. Again, verify that there are no leaks or unusual noises or sounds. As the pressure starts
to approach maximum, check the temperature of the pinion and main bearing areas. The bearing temperature rise
should not exceed 70F (39C). Therefore, the pinion and main bearing areas should not exceed 70F (39C)
above the ambient temperature. Continue to run the pump, at the last achieved speed and pressure, for a couple
of hours to make sure the start up procedure has stabilized. Record operating temperatures and pressures for future
reference.
After the test, remove the lubrication suction strainer and clean. Replace the discharge filter on the lubrication
system. Verify the lubrication and liner wash tank levels are correct.
After completing the procedure above, the pump is ready to be placed in service.
CAUTION:
Never engage the prime mover at a high speed. This could induce a high shock load to critical
components and ultimately shorten expected life of the pump.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Shift Change

Verify that the fluids levels are correct.

Verify that the lubrication and liner wash pumps are operating correctly.

Verify the liner wash by opening the three inspection covers on the top of the pump and visually inspect
that each liner is being sprayed by the system.

Verify the lubrication system by opening the access cover above the bull gear and visually checking for
oil flow. Ensure that the discharge pressure is approximately 20 PSI or greater. A higher pressure, 60
to 80 PSI, on start-up is normal until the oil temperature increases and the lubricant thins out.

Verify that the drive system is operating with-in normal parameters.

Visually inspect the pump for any damage or leaks. Repair as required.

Check the condition of the liner for signs of scoring or excessive wear. Replace as required.

Indication of mud on the piston rod is normal. However, excessive amounts of mud indicate a piston

Daily

that is worn out and requires replacement.

Check the liner compartments for excessive mud build up. Clean as required.

Inspect the weep holes on the modules for signs of seal leakage. If seepage is noted, schedule the
modules for rebuild as soon as possible. Always rebuild all the modules together.

Weekly

Remove the suction strainer element and clean.

Remove the piston rod clamps and inspect the mating surfaces for excessive or uneven wear. Rotate
the piston rod 90 before reassembling to ensure even wear.

Bi Weekly

Replace lubrication discharge filter. Clean liner wash tank of excess debris. Check module bolts for
correct torque using a click wrench. Use the reference drawings and torque tables provided in the pump
documentation to determine the correct torque.

Remove and clean the valves and seats. Check the pony rod packing for signs of oil seepage. Look for
signs of scoring or other damage on the pony rod. Replace as required.

Monthly

Remove the side covers and inspect the clearance on the cross heads and crosshead alignment.

Check the slides for uneven or excessive wear.

Check for signs of scoring.

Check the clearance between the wrist pin and the crosshead. Compare against the original amount.
If this increases, tighten the bolts to specified torque and re-measure the gap. Note the new gap value
on the side of the cross head with a paint pen or similar writing device. A decrease of a couple of
thousandths is acceptable. If it decreases more than a couple of thousandths, the wrist pin is
experiencing excessive movement and these components need to be replaced.

Every 500 hours of operation:

Remove the pistons and inspect the rod and retaining nut for damage.

Replace the pony rod packing.

Inspect the mating surfaces of the pony and piston rods.

Re-torque the module fasteners.

Every 1000 hours operation:

Drain the lubrication sump and clean.

Inspect the fasteners on the connecting rods and the bull gear.

Check the torque on the super nuts.

Check the clearances on all the bearings.

Check the backlash on the gear set.

Inspect the inside of the pump for any damage or debris.

Repair and clean as necessary.

Clean the liner wash tank.

Inspect all rotating seals for any signs of seepage.

LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The lubrication system uses an electric motor, coupled to a positive displacement pump, as the primary system with
the conventional splash system as a backup. With this arrangement, the minimum operating speed of the pump is
approximately 10% of the maximum number of strokes per minute.
Note:
When a mechanically driven lubrication / liner wash system is supplied, the minimum strokes per minute
will be about 50% of the maximum strokes per minute. The minimum can be decreased so long as the oil
pressure remains above 15 PSI. If lower minimum strokes per minute are required, contact TSC for
assistance in determine the best way to achieve that requirement.
The lubrication system uses a combination of orifices and spray nozzles to ensure that the system is balanced and
that all components receive the correct amount of lubrication. DO NOT change the size or location of any of the
components. It will adversely affect the balance of the system and could ultimately shorten the life of critical
components.
Reference the Parts List in the Appendix to determine the specific system for your pump.
The selection of lubricating fluid is critical to the trouble free operation of the pump. Too light of viscosity and the
bearings/gearing will not be adequately lubricated. Too high of viscosity, the lube pump will draw to much current
and trip the overload heaters in the motor starter.
If the pump is to be used across a broad temperature range without changing the viscosity of the lube oil, it is
suggested that a heater be placed in the sump of the pump to keep the viscosity low enough so that it will not cause
overload problems with the pump.
The suggested lubrication grades based on temperature variation is as follows;
Use an EP rated, non-corrosive, anti-foaming gear lubricant

TEMP: +50F to +155F AGMA #7 EP

TEMP: +20F to +100F AGMA #6 EP

TEMP: -20F to +60F AGMA #2 EP

The above is a general recommendation and the actual lubrication selected will be based on the actual operating
conditions and field experience with this type of equipment.
Although the bypass pressure is typically set at 30 PSI at the factory, the actual minimum required pressure can be
significantly lower and still maintain adequate lubrication. Consult the factory if high start-up viscosity is creating
problems with the lube pump.

LINER WASH SYSTEM


The liner wash system uses an electric motor coupled to a centrifugal pump. The pump is typically located between
the primary skid rails, below the liquid level of the liner wash tank, to ensure flooded suction at the inlet of the pump.
With this arrangement, the minimum strokes per minute is approximately 10% of the maximum strokes per minute.
Note:
When a mechanically driven lubrication / liner wash system is supplied, the minimum strokes per minute
will be about 50% of the maximum strokes per minute. The minimum can be decreased so long as the flow
is adequate to pull the heat out of the liners. If the liners heat up, or lower minimum strokes per minute are
required, contact TSC for assistance to determine the best way to achieve that requirement.
There is no filtration on the system other than the typical sediment retention baffle in the liner wash tank. The tank
should be cleaned on a regular basis to ensure that a limited amount of debris is pulled into the pump intake.
The system is a simple design and will use spray nozzles to supply cooling water to the liners.
For the specific type of system installed on your pump, reference the drawing and parts list for liner wash system.
It is recommended that a rust inhibitor be added to the liner wash system to help keep the system clean. In higher
ambient temperatures, an anti-fungal additive may also be required.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY
The general assembly includes assemblies and auxiliary components, which are added as part of your pump
configuration. The pump is categorized into basic sub-assemblies as follows:

Lubrication and liner wash systems (described previously).

Crankshaft assembly.

Gearbox Assembly.

Cross head assembly.

Fluid end assembly.

Frame.

Skid.

The frame and skid are generally not considered field replaceable items and will not be discussed. If there are
questions concerning ether of these items, please contact the factory with your concerns.
All bearings are shrink fit with the exception of the floating crank bearing. The bearing fits are designed so that
temperatures above 250F are not required to install or remove the bearings. Use a temp stick to ensure that the
bearing temperature DOES NOT exceed 250F during installation or removal. The preferred method of installation
is to use heated oil to bring the bearing to the required temperature. When the bearing is installed, it is necessary
to hold the bearing in position until it has cooled sufficiently to hold position.
NOTE: NEVER ATTEMPT TO SPEED UP THE BEARING COOLING PROCESS WATER OR SIMILAR LIQUID.
Always use grade eight, drilled head fasteners, when replacing any fastener on the pump. Install the fastener using
a good anti-seize grease, and follow the recommended torque specifications on the individual assembly drawings.
Use an accurate torque wrench to verify all achieved torques.
Always use flat washers, preferably hardened. If using a lock washer, use a star type. Do not use a conventional
spiral lock washer. They are unreliable under high load and vibration.
The auxiliary items such as suction dampener, pulsation dampener, strainer cross, etc., are unique to each pump
delivered. The technical data for each of the items is found in the appendix.

CAUTION:
Always lock out the prime mover prior to any repair or adjustment.

CRANKSHAFT ASSEMBLY
The crankshaft is a conventional forged core with welded eccentrics.
The crankshaft assembly is secured with bearing caps that are secured by Super Nuts.
Although these nuts deliver a very high holding force with relative ease, they require particular attention with regards
to how they are installed or removed. The nuts use a series of jack screws, arranged in a circular pattern, to be
able to achieve the high holding force. These jack screws need to be tightened and loosened in a progressive
manner, similar to the process of tightening or loosening the head bolts on an engine.
NOTE: THE BEARING CAPS ARE MACHINED AS AN ASSEMBLY AND DO NOT REQUIRE ANY ADDITIONAL
SHIMMING. THESE CAPS ARE MARKED AS SUCH AND SHOULD NOT BE SWAPPED SIDE TO SIDE OR
INTERCHANGED WITH OTHER PUMP BEARING CAPS.
The final torque should be achieved starting at approximately 25% of the required torque. Cross torque the jack
bolts until all are at specified torque. Then, repeat this process in 10% to 15% increments until the required torque
is achieved.
Additional information on the Super Nuts is available in the appendix.
The bull gear is a shrink fit on the gear journal and is held in place with grade eight fastener and self-locking nuts.
Achieve the required torque in steps, and tighten in a crossing pattern, similar to how head bolts on an engine would
be tightened.
NOTE: IN NO CASE SHOULD THESE FASTENERS BE CHANGED OUT FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN
ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.
The outer race of the eccentric bearing is a shrink fit into the conn rod and is additionally secured with the keepers.
The inner race is a shrink fit on the crankshaft and is additionally secured with the keepers. Install the keeper bolts
with a good anti-seize grease and torque to specified value and safety wire. Shim under the keeper to maintain the
bolt mating surface orientation parallel to the side of the conn rod.
The main bearings are a shrink fit on the crankshaft journals. The bearing should fit solidly against the journal
shoulder.
Before proceeding with the installation or removal of bearings, reference the section on bearings in the general
assembly section.
NOTE: DO NOT EXCEED 250F AT ANYTIME.

GEARBOX ASSEMBLY
The gearbox assembly is a designed gear reduction from the prime mover to the HP mud pump crankshaft assembly.
The gearbox assembly has a symmetrical design, allowing it to be mounted on either side of the HP mud pump.
The symmetrical design allows for viewport access and lubrication oil fill and discharge access regardless of which
side the pump the gearbox is mounted.
This is a high load area. Ensure all threads are in good condition. If in doubt, replace with TSC approved fasteners.
After the gearbox assembly has been installed on the required side of the HP mud pump and the fasteners have
been torqued to spec, then rotate the gearbox pinion to ensure that it rolls freely without any tight spots.
All fasteners should be installed with good anti-seize grease and torqued to the required specification with an
accurate torque wrench and safety wired.

CROSSHEAD ASSEMBLY
The cross head guides and crossheads are cast for long life. The cross head guides are interchangeable.
Prior to installation, all parts should be inspected for any signs of damage or burrs in the slide area.
The outer race of the wrist pin bearings are shrink fit in the conn rods, and the inner race bearings are shrink fit on
the wrist pin. The wrist pin is a taper on taper fit to the cross head.
Install the upper and lower cross head guides and tighten the fasteners to hold position. The cross head guides will
be shimmed later to achieve correct alignment and running clearance.
The cross head can be installed from the oil sump area or from the pony rod area, depending on whether or not the
crank assembly is in place.
It is recommended that the center crosshead be installed first. This will allow the most clearance to work on the
crosshead assembly.
INDIVIDUAL ASSEMBLY

Rotate the crankshaft assembly until the eye of the conn rod is approximately in the center of the
stroke.

Block the bottom of the conn rod to keep the eye approximately in the center of the cross head.

Insert the wrist pin into the crosshead assembly, ensuring the wrist pin and mating face are clean and
dry at all contact points. Lightly tap the end of the wrist pin to seat it.

Install the fasteners with a good grade of anti-seize grease, tighten to the 50% of the specified torque
in a crossing pattern, using a torque wrench. Tighten to the final torque in a crossing pattern and safety
wire.

Install the pony or extension rod, stuffing rod, glands, etc. following the recommended torques and
safety wire.

INDIVIDUAL ALIGNMENT
With the crosshead at one end of the stroke or the other:

Set up a dial indicator to read of the top of the pony or extension rod. Set the travel of the indicator at
approximately its mid-range to protect the dial indicator. Record the reading on the indicator.

Slowly move the cross head to the other end of the stroke. Record the reading on the dial indicator.

The difference between the first reading and the last reading indicate how parallel the cross head is
running with respect to the theoretical centerline of the fluid end. If this value exceeds .004, the lower cross
head guide needs to be shimmed to bring the run out to within specifications. The lower the variation, the
less wear and tear on the glands.

Once the parallelism is confirmed, verify that the head is running true to the centerline of the piston.

Using a long feeler gauge, check the clearance between the top of the cross head and the upper cross
head guide in a number of places. This should be checked at the extremes of the stroke also.

The goal is to have about .012 to .013 clearance between the cross head and the upper cross head guide.
Shim the upper cross head guide to meet this requirement.
o

Repeat the above process with the two outer cross head assemblies.

See the sketch below for measurement points.

FLUID END ASSEMBLY


The supplied fluid end assembly is a PAH style fluid end.
Before starting any assembly, make sure all parts are clean and free of any physical damage. Perform repairs
necessary before starting the assembly work.
This is a high load, high pressure area. Make sure that all threads are in good shape. If in doubt, replace with TSC
approved fasteners.
Individual Fluid End Assembly

Refer to the drawing in the appendix for the specific fluid end that is used on your pump.

All parts should be thoroughly cleaned and inspected for any damage. Repair or replace the damaged
parts as required.

Assemble all metal to metal fits with good anti-seize grease. This will help in both assembly and disassembly.

All fasteners are to be installed with a good anti-seize grease and torque setting to final torque in steps
using a crossing pattern with an accurate torque wrench. The fasteners should be torqued to about 1/3
of the required torque in a crossing pattern, then to about 2/3 the required torque in a crossing pattern,
and then to final torque in a crossing pattern. Final torque should be verified with an accurate torque
wrench.

NOTE: AFTER THE FLUID END HAS BEEN PRESSURIZED, GO BACK AND RE-CHECK THE TORQUE
ON ALL FASTENERS AND THE VALVE COVERS.
Individual Fluid End Assembly to the Frame

Lightly coat the studs with good anti-seize grease before placing the fluid end on the frame.

Run all the nuts up snug against the frame. Make sure that the fluid end is seating evenly across the
face plate of the frame.

Proceed to tighten the nuts to the specified torque in steps using a crossing pattern. Tighten the nuts
to about 1/3 of the final torque using a crossing pattern, then tighten to about 2/3 of the final torque
using a crossing pattern, and then go to final torque using a crossing pattern. Use an accurate torque
wrench to verify the final torque.

Repeat the above procedure for the other two fluid end modules.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
General Application Problems:

Pump performance is based on two variables: torque and speed. Torque provides pressure and speed provides
flow.

Check the following if the pump is not getting the anticipated performance:
o

Is the piston size correct for the required flow and pressure?

First, determine if the correct piston diameter is used for the desired flow rate at the current
operating speed. This can be determined by entering in various numbers into the following
formula and solving for the theoretical flow rate (GPM) output.
GPM = 0.01 x ID2 x L x SPM
GPM = flow rate
L = stroke length (inches)
ID = inner diameter (inches)
SPM = strokes per minute

If the GPM is correct, determine how much torque is required to achieve the required pressure.
This can be achieved by identifying the approximate torque at the pinion to achieve the required
pressure by entering in various numbers into the following formula and solving for the
theoretical torque required @ 85% efficiency.
Tor = (3.61 x PSI x GPM) / RPM
Tor = Torque (foot-pounds)
PSI = pounds per square inch (fluid pressure)
GPM = gallons per minute (volume flow)
RPM = revolutions per minute (pump pinion speed)

The next step is to determine the theoretical horsepower required at the pinion to achieve the
required flow rate and pressure by entering in various numbers into the following formula and
solving for the theoretical power (HP) required.
HP = (RPM x Tor) / 5252
HP = horsepower (power input at the pinion)
Tor = Torque (foot-pounds)
RPM = revolutions per minute (pump pinion speed)

The final step is to determine if your prime mover is delivering the required horsepower to the
pinion. You will have to refer to the engine or motor performance charts to determine the actual
horsepower available from the prime mover to achieve the required speed and power at the
pinion of the pump. Do not forget to include drive inefficiencies.

Are the valves in the fluid ends opening and closing properly?

Is suction being supplied at adequate flow with pressure at no more than 40 PSI?

YCB series of circular arc gear pump is a new type external gear pump and of the latest construction, jointly
developed by the Hydraulic Research Office of Mechanical Engineering Department, Shanghai Jiaotong Universitv,
and Botou Gear Pump General Plant. The gears of pump have the teeth figure of the advanced arcs compounded
with other curves thus making it have good-working quality. Compared with the traditional Gear Pump 2CY with
involutes teeth, this pump has the characteristics of little pressure wave, low noise, high efficiency and long service
life. It is a new type of energy-saving pump.
The circular arc gear pump is suitable for petrochemicals, ship-building industries and other industries to pump in
different mediums, such as petroleum, heavy oil and industrial light oil, at a temperature below 80 and with a
viscosity 5-1500cSt.But it is not suitable for pumping in oil with hard particles and the other fibred particles, nor is
fit for high volatile but low flash point oil, such as gasoline, benzene medium liquid .If change the pump material ,it
can pump the mediums that temperature below 300C,corrosive and low flash point.
Safety valve is supplied with standard pump unless otherwise stated.
The pump is driven by the motor through the claw coupling, and they are fixed on a cast base plate or a welded
from profile steel.
The circular arc gear pump can be installed horizontally or vertically or in other directions as required to meet
different conditions.

Working principle of gear pump


Fig.1 shows that a pair of gears that are engaged are installed inside the casing with two ends sealed by the front
and back covers. Gears divide the inside of the casing into cavity A and cavity 8 which are not interlinking. When
gears revolves as Fig. 1 indicates, cavity A's volume is enlarged gradually because of the disconnection of the teeth,
resulting in part vacuum, and oil in the tank flows through oil tubes into cavity A under the external atmosphere
pressure. So cavity A is called as absorption cavity. The absorbed oil in the cavity A flows into cavity 8 in sealed
space along the inside wall of casing when gears revolve. Oil between gear teeth are extruded out when they are
engaged and therefore the volume of this cavity reduced. This is called as press oil cavity. When gears revolve
constantly cavities A and 8 always pump in and exhaust oil, which is the working principle of the gear pump.

PUMP CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION

This pump series is characterized as simple construction and compactness. Pump body and safety valve
are separated. So it's easy to use and maintain. Quality of the product is guaranteed, for the main parts are
made of top-quality steel and precisely processed.

Oil pump has the self-absorption function. So it is unnecessary to add oil before working.

Lubrication of pump is achieved automatically through the transmission of oil. So no lubrication oil is
necessary while working.

Pump body: Two holes on the parallel surfaces of pump body are fixed with a pair of gears and four bearing
stands. Safety valves are put on the top. Front cover and back cover are in the front and back respectively.
Flanges on both side are for connection. Flange connector dimensions are up to the ISO and DIN standards
and that of the china state ship-building corporation's CBM.

Gear and shaft: All gears are of spiral gears, the gear and shaft compose of the shaft gear.

Bearing stand and bush: The revolving of the shaft gear is backed up by bearing stand and bush that have
already been put together as a whole.

Gasket: Gasket are inserted into the press surfaces between the pump body and the front and the back
covers in order to achieve the better results of the sealing.

Shaft seal: There are two kind of axle-end seals, mechanical seal and packing seal. The seal rings are
made of soft graphite which are elastic, high and-low-temperature-resisting, and of chemical stability and
self-lubrication.

Safety valve
o

The safety valve of this series of pumps is assembled on the pump body as a whole. If safety valve
is not required, special cover fixed on the safety valve position can be provided.

The working principle of the safety valve is to use spring to control the working of the safety valve. The
function of the safety valve is to avoid incidents that might result from too much high exhaust pressure.
the breakage of the exhaust pipes or the close of the exhaust oil pipes' valves. When such incidents
occur, safety valve opens immediately and the liquid part or even all, will flow back to the pumping in
cavity. Safety valve is not used to adjust the capacity of the pump for long.

PUMP INSTALLATION

Before assembling, it is required to check up whether the motor is affected by damp or there is damage to
the dust-proof covers of pump's inlet or outlet, which might lead the dirt things into the cavity.

Oil pump and motor are fixed on the base plate. Hooks must hang on the base plate rings .In lifting single
pump head, hooks must hang on the inlet or exit flange tubes.

Select a dry and bright place so that management people can watch when pump is working. A certain
space should leave out if it is close to wall, for it is easy to maintain. Don't put it at a place where is humid
and wet, being exposed to sun and rain. Oil pump should be installed in place above the water level so
that it cannot be flooded.

The foundation of pump should be stable so that pipes will not be released or vibrated. In order to avoid
the deformation of the base plate, bolts should be fixed firmly. If only the pump head is installed on the
machinery, the least vibrated place must be chosen.

Washing the inside wall of pipes by kerosene before installation in order that no dirt things especially no
rubbing matters are allowed to remain in the pipe, because they might cause the damage to the gears.
The dimensions of the absorption and exhaustion pipes are by no means smaller than the nominal size of
pump. Absorption pipe should be bigger and the shorter the better. Elbow should have bigger radius.
Throttle valve should be used on the pipe valves to reduce the resistance.

No foot valve is needed for oil pump. But it is suggested to fix a filter gauze at the entrance of the intake
pipe to prevent dirt things from entering in pump body .The effective area of the filter gauze should not be
two times smaller than that of the dimensions of the tubes. The mouth of the intake tube should be cut to
an angle of 45.

Pump shaft and motor shaft should be installed concentrically. If it is not properly fixed, it might cut off the
claw of the shaft couplings when revolving.

PUMP OPERATION
Start-up

Before the oil pump to be used, it is required to check up whether all tubes are fixed properly, and open
valves of intake oil pipes.

Revolve the couplings by hand to see if there is an abnormal phenomenon.

Press the button on shortly before oil pump starts and make it sure the revolving direction is right and
everything is perfect

If oil pump is in operation, close the control valve of the outlet oil pipes gradually so as to adjust the
pressure required.

But the adjusted pressure should not be higher than the rated pressure. When oil pump is in constant
operation, shaft seal and vibration should be carefully observed.

Adjustment of the safety valve

In normal circumstance, the working pressure of the safety valve is 1.5 times as against the rated
pressure. In case lower pressure is needed, adjust it according to Fig.3

Release the protective cap and unscrew the adjusting nut.

Make the adjusting screw revolving clockwise and then close gradually the control valve on the outlet
tubes to determine whether the returned pressure is that needed. f the requirement cannot be fulfilled
through one time of adjustment, you should proceed with several times.

After the adjustment, screw the adjusting nut and protective cap.

Stop working

Cut of motor power and close control valve on the outlet tubes.

PUMP DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY


Following orders should be followed to disassemble to oil pump.

Disassemble the couplings on the oil pump shaft end .If it is too tight, use a copper stick to hit it gently
and let it out.

Disassemble the press cover first and then the soft graphite ring or mechanical seal ring.

Disassemble the front and back covers and take the gasket out.

Disassemble bearing stand and then take out driving-and driven-shaft gears.

Disassemble nut and spring washes of the driving and driven-shaft and then take out the left and-right
gears

Disassembly of safety valve

First disassembly the protective cap, gasket and nut, then unscrew the adjusting screws, springs and safety
valve push pitch and lastly the valve body and gasket.
Oil pump check-out
Check out every part. Worn part must be repaired or replaced.
Oil pump reassembly

The procedure for assembling is nearly the reversal of that for disassembling, i.e., last disassembled first
assemble .But the following points should be noted.

AII the parts must be checked before assembling.

All the parts that are going to be assembled must be washed with kerosene and lubricated. No dirt things
are allowed to enter the inside while assembling

While assembling the upper and lower bearing stands and the driving and driven gears, the thickness
difference of every pair of bearing stand and gear should be less than 0.005mm.

The gap on both gear sides should be adjusted by paper gaskets. Bigger gap will easily cause the
leakage and reduce the efficiency, but if the gap is too small, the pump will get a higher temperature
quickly or can't run freely.

Assembling the soft graphite ring or mechanical seal0-ring by special sleeve. Soft graphite ring must be
handled with care and be put in order, and shown in Fig.4
