HANDLING AND STORAGE

1. Before proceeding with the assembly or operation of the system, read and understand
these instructions.

2. Inspect all equipment when it is received. Notify carrier and Duall if any damage has
occurred during shipment. No material or equipment may be returned without our prior
written consent which, if given, will include shipping instructions that must be followed.

3. When unloading or moving equipment take care to prevent injury to personnel or damage
to equipment.

a. If equipment is on a skid, use a fork lift with forks that span the full length of the
skid.

b. If using a crane or similar lifting device, use a spreader bar. Provide only vertical
force on lifting lugs provided.

4. Open crates and unpack the equipment carefully. Plastic components will break if not
handled properly.

5. Consult our prints, submittals, and scope of supply when checking for completeness of
delivered items.

6. If equipment is stored before installation:

a. Store in a clean, dry, safe area.

b. Protect from direct sunlight. Use a reflective covering and arrange it in such a
manner that air is allowed to circulate around the equipment in order to protect it
from excessive heat and moisture.

c. Cover flanges and couplings in order to prevent accumulation of dirt and moisture
in the unit.

d. Periodically rotate shafts on equipment like fans and pumps in order to protect
bearings.

INSTALLATION

1. We suggest that scrubber equipment be placed inside a heated and insulated building to
protect it from freezing in colder weather. The use of remote recirculation will permit the
installation of a self-draining scrubber outside of a building and a recirculation tank
inside the building.

2. Remove crating material and other debris from within components before assembly.

072101 2 O & M Instructions 221-18


3. Do not apply excessive force when tightening bolts on any plastic flanges. No more than
15 ft-lbs of torque should be applied.

4. Do not tighten threaded plastic fittings more than one-and-one-half turns beyond hand
tight, since excessive force will damage threads. Use a strap wrench rather than a Stilson
type wrench.

5. Support and anchor all pipe and fittings in order to prevent damage to equipment or to the
pipe itself. For pipe that is made from PVC or other thermoplastic materials, follow
guidelines established by The Plastic Pipe Institute.

6. Support and anchor all duct and components in order to prevent damage to equipment or
to the duct itself. For duct that is made from PVC or other thermoplastic materials,
follow guidelines provided by the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors'
National Association (SMACNA) in the publication entitled Thermoplastic Duct
Construction Manual.

7. Make sure that all electrical work is done in accordance with applicable codes.

8. Do not crowd equipment. Leave room for maintenance personnel to gain access.

9. Locate the equipment near service utilities such as water, sewer, and electrical power.
Make sure that the area is properly drained and that the scrubber sump level is above the
liquid level of the receiving body in order not to hinder gravity drainage.

10. Place the vessel on a sturdy, level surface which uniformly supports the base of the
vessel. The surface must be free of debris in order to prevent damage to the vessel's
bottom. It should also extend beyond the outline of the vessel by at least twelve (12)
inches in order to accommodate anchoring. The units must be level and plumb in order
to prevent liquid distribution problems.

11. Grout or shim under hold-down flanges or lugs to prevent applying excessive stress to the
vessel when anchor bolts are tightened.

12. If scrubber is shipped in sections, attach sections together using sealant (or gaskets) and
hardware provided. Take care that alignment marks match (e.g. A-A) and that flange
covers (if any) have been removed.

13. Add packing to the assembled scrubber. In vertical units, the pack depth is specified on
the fabrication drawings. A measured indication mark should be made on the interior
surface of the vessel shell to denote the required packing depth as shown on the
fabrication drawings. Packing should be filled to this mark. In horizontal units, the
packing should be filled to a height equal to the intersection point of the scrubber body
and the overhead weir section (the area that houses the overhead spray nozzles). In other
words, packing should not extend into the overhead weir section. After start-up, all

072101 3 O & M Instructions 221-18


scrubbers should be inspected for pack settling. If settling has occurred, packing should
be added to achieve the depths as described above. Do not try to force or compress the
packing.

14. Where wind loads and similar forces are expected, stabilize towers with cable attached to
hold-down flange or ring on the tower, or by attachment to external support. Use only
enough force to stabilize the column and make sure that it is plumb. Excessive force will
cause flanges to break.

15. Install the recycle pump in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Re-align
pump and motor to correct any change that may have occurred during shipment.

16. Connect pipe to the recycle pump as shown on the drawings. Be sure to include any seal
flush accessories that may be required. Heat trace if necessary to prevent freezing.

Do not use plant effluent or similar non-potable waters for seal flush. They may cause
fouling problems.

17. Connect drain/overflow to an appropriate drain line. Heat trace if necessary to protect
from freezing. Ensure that no flow obstructions which will disrupt operation exist.

Use a plumber's P-trap or submerge the end of the drain line. Either method will prevent
air from flowing in the drain line and interfering with proper drainage of the scrubber.

18. Connect make-up water supply line to appropriate fittings on the unit. Be sure to include
flow meters and pressure gauges as shown on the drawings. Heat trace if necessary to
protect from freezing.

19. Install chemical metering pumps in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

20. Connect pipe to each metering pump as shown on the drawings. Heat trace if necessary
to protect from freezing.

21. Connect tubing from pressure taps on each scrubber to the differential pressure gauge.
The low pressure line is that which is farthest from the discharge side of the fan. Support
lines to prevent collapse which could result in misleading readings. With no air flow,
adjust each gauge to the zero mark. See instructions for the particular type of gauge
being supplied.

22. Install sensors, sump heaters, flow switches, level switches, temperature switches, and
other control devices as shown on the drawings. Consult instructions for these items.
Before installing, check operation of all mechanical switches with an ohm meter to
ensure that no damage has occurred during shipment. Connect power and control cable
from these items to the proper places on the control panel or motor control center.

072101 4 O & M Instructions 221-18


23. Connect power lines for fan and pumps to the proper places on the control panel or motor
control center. Make sure that motors are wired for the correct supply voltage. Provide
ample motor protection and other safety devices.

24. Connect inlet and exhaust duct to the unit.

25. Connect power lines to the disconnect switch in the control panel or motor control center.
Have electrician check your electrical connections before applying power. On three-
phase systems, check rotation before operating the system. NOTE: Do not run pumps
dry or without seal water even for short periods - as in bumping motors - since damage
to shaft seals can occur.

26. Fill the scrubber sump to its normal liquid level with water and check system for leaks
(both air and water) or other operating problems, and correct them.

27. For FW scrubbers, which include an integral fan, refer to Duall Centrifugal Exhaust
Fan O & M 221-06 for exhaust fan installation instructions.

SEALING VESSEL BODY FLANGES

Please follow these instructions carefully in order to ensure that flanges are adequately sealed
against leakage.

1. Make sure flanges are free of any foreign material; including drill shavings, dirt, old
sealant, or gasket.

2. Check orientation of the mating flanges before applying sealant. You may have to align
notches or other marks that have been placed on mating flanges.

3. Lay a bead of sealant about 1/2" to 5/8" diameter along the inside of each flange face (i.e.
inside the bolt circle). Flanges must be joined within five (5) minutes because the surface
of the sealant develops a skin which prevents adhesion to the opposing flange and makes
the seal ineffective.

4. When bringing flanges together, make sure that they come together square and that you
do not slide, rotate, or pull apart the faces. Any disturbance other than compression of
the bead will void the effectiveness of the seal. Drift pins should be used to maintain
flange alignment.

5. Tighten bolts carefully in order to avoid puckering the flange faces. Do not apply more
than 15 ft-lbs of torque. Thermoplastics such as PVC and polypropylene are pretty
flexible and not as strong as metals would be.

6. Working inside the scrubber with a putty knife or similar device, flatten sealant that is
squeezed from between flanges in order to fill in the area between the two flanges.

072101 5 O & M Instructions 221-18


Apply additional sealant as required to ensure a positive seal. Wait 24 hours before
adding packing media in order to allow the sealant to cure.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Contaminated air is introduced to the packed bed scrubber. As it travels through the scrubber the
air mixes with scrubbing solution which falls by gravity from the top of the bed. Within the
scrubber, aerosols and vapors are transferred to the scrubbing liquid in accordance with various
chemical and mechanical principles. Cleaner air is exhausted to the atmosphere, while the
scrubbing liquor is either discharged to a wastewater treatment system - if its absorptive capacity
has been exhausted - or recycled.

Aerosols are removed from the air stream by impaction with the packing material. Water or
aqueous solution flushes the packing to keep it clean. Removal efficiency is dependent on
particulate size and density as well as the velocity of air through the scrubber.

The rate of transfer of a vapor from air to water is dependent on several factors. Counter-current
operation maximizes the difference in concentration of the contaminant compounds between air
and water. It is this difference (a concentration gradient) which is the driving force for the
transfer. In cross-current flow, the gradient varies both in the direction of flow and in a radial
direction.

A reaction between the absorbed vapor and chemicals in the scrubbing solution transforms the
vapor into a species that does not inhibit further absorption of that vapor. This action increases
the capacity of the scrubbing solution to absorb the vapor and allows us to recirculate the
solution. Failure to produce a reaction makes it necessary to use larger volumes of water on a
once-through basis.

In order to facilitate occurrence of the reactions mentioned above, it is usually important that the
proper type and amount of chemicals are added to the scrubbing solution. This can be done
automatically or by manual control. In some cases we operate two scrubbers in series. This
allows us to use different chemicals in each stage in order to capture complex mixtures of odors
and other contaminants.

Fresh water is added to the scrubbing solution in order to replace water lost by evaporation and
to prevent excessive accumulation of any absorbed vapors or products of reaction. The resultant
wastewater generally has relatively high concentrations of various salts. It may also have high or
low pH because of the treatment chemicals it contains.

USE OF FRESH WATER

When water is recirculated, addition of fresh water is necessary to purge contaminants that
accumulate and to replace evaporation losses. Potable water may also be required to flush
mechanical seals.

072101 6 O & M Instructions 221-18


As the concentration of contaminants builds up in a recirculated solution they will produce
several undesirable effects. They may hinder further absorption of a compound. They may
increase the potential for scale formation. They may precipitate from solution, forming a sludge
on the bottom of the recycle tank.

The rate of water addition depends on the type and amount of contaminants that are present.
Estimates of this quantity can be made, but they should be revised as experience with the
application is gained.

The gas coming into the scrubber is usually not saturated with water vapor, but the exhaust will
be saturated. Evaporation reduces the volume of the recycle scrubbing solution, causing an
increase in the concentration of contaminants and subsequent increase in the type of problems
mentioned above.

Water may be added to the recycle tank either continuously or on a periodic basis. Continuous
addition with overflow is preferred because it helps to maintain a more steady solution
chemistry. If the purge rate is properly balanced, no more water is used than if the scrubbing
solution is discharged and made-up periodically.

In batch treatment, all or part of the solution is released periodically and that volume is made up
with fresh water and chemical. This process is done either manually or automatically.
Evaporation losses are made up by means of a float valve, or a differential level control
assembly.

Finally, fresh water is necessary to flush certain types of mechanical seals in order to protect the
seals from excessive heat or from chemical attack. This water should only be supplied when the
pump is running, and it could replace part of the purge/make-up water. Sometimes a solenoid is
used to interlock addition of seal flush water to the operation of the pump.

PROPER HANDLING OF CHEMICALS

The chemicals being added to the scrubbing solution may (especially in their concentrated form)
irritate or burn skin, eyes, and mucous membranes, and may stain or destroy clothing. A
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for each chemical should be obtained from your supplier.
Observe recommended handling practices. In general:

- Wear safety glasses or goggles, gloves, and protective clothing when working with
the chemicals or equipment which contains or transports them.

- Do not add water to concentrated chemical solutions. Dilution is accomplished by


adding the chemical to water. Since a great deal of heat may be released by this
action, take care to control the rate of addition to allow the heat to dissipate.

- Do not add acids to solutions of hypochlorite. Chlorine vapors may be released.


Use caustic to maintain solution pH.

072101 7 O & M Instructions 221-18


- Do not mix strong acids with strong alkali. Heat of reaction could cause the solution to
boil.

- Do not mix strong oxidizing agents with organic chemicals. Explosive reactions may
result.

- When disposing of chemicals, treat them as hazardous wastes.

OPERATING LOG

Duall suggests that you maintain a record of operating data in order to facilitate troubleshooting
and to ensure that proper maintenance is done at regular intervals. The frequency of these
observations will vary according to the application. For systems that are operated daily (whether
intermittent or continuous), the maximum interval should be no more than one week. The
Operator should record:

1. Air flow rate (velometer reading)


2. Air pressure drop
3. Recirculation rate
4. Fresh water make-up rate or usage
5. Composition of scrubbing solutions (read meter/chemical analysis)
6. Chemical usage (read meter/estimate volume)
7. Comments regarding operation or any changes in procedure
8. General quality of stack emissions (i.e., opacity, acidity, misting, etc.)
9. Date and time of these observations

PRE-START-UP CHECKLIST

The tasks on this check list must be completed by the installer before scheduling start-up of
equipment.

1. Packing and mist eliminator installed to proper height


2. Spray headers and spray nozzles installed
3. Make-up water piped to scrubber
4. Plumbing connections made and leak tested
5. Duct connections made and leak tested

9. Seal water piped to recycle pumps
10. Pump suction and discharge piping complete
11. pH & ORP probes installed and wired
12. Flow switches and flow meter installed and wired
13. Fan motor wired to correct voltage

072101 8 O & M Instructions 221-18


14. Fan rotation correct
15. All fan accessories installed
16. Ductwork completely installed
17. All dampers operating properly
18. Ductwork cleaned
19. Correct voltage supplied to the panel
20. All external devices wired to the panel
21. Leak check system with water prior to adding chemicals

SYSTEM START-UP AND OPERATION

1. Shut the drain valve and fill the scrubber sump to the level of the overflow with fresh
water.

2. Calibrate and install pH and ORP probes (if provided). Adjust set points to control
operation of chemical pumps as necessary. Instructions for calibration and adjustment of
set points are found in the manuals for this equipment.
Chemical analysis is required in order to identify the correct ORP setting for a particular
application.
Before removing the protective rubber caps on the probes, make sure that the probes will
remain submerged after installation. This ensures that the probes will not dry out and
become useless. Save the caps.

3. Place selector switches for all chemical pumps in AUTO position. The pumps will not
operate unless the recycle pump is operating.

4. Open valves in the recirculation loop. If the recycle pump has a water flush seal, start
seal water flow and verify that there are no system leaks. The seal water flush should be
flowing whenever the pump is running. Consult the pump manual for rates and
pressures.

5. Start the recycle pump with the discharge valve closed, or nearly closed. As the pump
comes up to speed, slowly open the discharge valve. This procedure will prevent damage
to the liquid distributor that is caused by water hammer.
Check for proper operation and verify that there are no system leaks. If a flow meter has
not been provided, the flow rate may be determined if the pressure drop and flow
characteristics of the spray nozzle are known. Avoid pressure drops above 5 to 10 psig in
order to prevent excessive carryover.

6. Open dampers in the exhaust system and start the fan. Check to ensure that it is running
properly. Adjust dampers to produce the desired flow rate. A velometer (pitot tube with
Magnehelic differential pressure gauge) indicates flow rate according to the formula:

Flow Rate (CFM) = Velocity (FPM) * Duct Area (SQFT)

072101 9 O & M Instructions 221-18


7. Start fresh water to the collection sump. The water level must be kept at the level of the
overflow connection; either by continuous addition of purge water or by periodic addition
of make-up water.

8. Check for misting out the stack. If misting is occurring, immediately turn off the unit and
contact the factory.

9. The scrubber is ready to begin treating contaminated air, however, do not place a
system in service without providing written verification to Duall personnel that the
system has been properly installed and started up. Failure to do so voids all
warranties.

072101 10 O & M Instructions 221-18


MIST ELIMINATOR PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION

The following procedure should be followed immediately when placing any scrubber or mist
eliminator in service:

1. Verify that the airflow through the unit is within 5% of the design value using a standard
pitot tube or equivalent in accordance with the 22nd Edition of the Industrial Ventilation
Manual.

2. Verify that the pressure drop through the unit is within 15% of the design value by noting
the reading on the Magnehelic gauge provided by Duall.

3. Obtain a 4-5 ft. long section of Sch. 80, 1-1/2 in. diameter PVC pipe. If the air stream
temperature after the scrubber or mist eliminator is expected to be > than 130 deg. F, use
Sch. 80 CPVC pipe.

4. Obtain an 8-10 in. long section of litmus (pH) paper, and tape it lengthwise to the end of
the pipe. (Duall O & M instructions were supplied with (4) samples of litmus paper.)

5. Insert the pipe into one of the 2 in. diameter test ports provided by Duall in the duct after
the scrubber or mist eliminator and before the exhaust fan, or in the stack for an FW style
or positive pressure unit, so the middle of the pH paper is roughly at the center of the duct
and pointed into the airstream. Refer to the sketch on page 12. Keep the pipe inserted for
approximately 1 minute. Then remove the pipe and observe the pH paper for noticeable
spots. A 2 x 10 strip of paper may show 5-10 spots without being indicative of a
problem. If more than (5) spots are present, then some mist may be in the airstream. Use
the color chart for the pH paper to determine to determine if the mist is acidic, basic or
neutral. Shut down the unit, and notify Duall immediately with these results.

6. If mist is not detected then repeat the above procedure # 5 using the second 2 in. diameter
test port located on the duct 90 deg. from the first port.

NOTE: If Duall did not provide interconnecting duct from the scrubber or mist
eliminator to the fan, then the customer-supplied ducting must contain (2) 2 in. diameter
fittings located in a straight run 90 deg. apart and 2.5-5.0 duct diameters downstream
from the scrubber or mist eliminator, or in the stack for FW style or positive pressure
units.

7. To validate the equipment warranty, a signed copy of page 21, Field Service Completion
and Warranty Validation Form, must be returned to Duall within (7) business days of
start-up. Send the form to: Duall Division/Met-Pro Corporation, 1550 Industrial Dr.,

SYSTEM SHUT DOWN

1. Turn off fan and all pumps.

2. Shut off seal water and make-up water.

If the system is to be down for an extended period (2 to 4 weeks or longer), follow these
additional steps:

3. Remove probes and cover them with the protective cap in which they were shipped. To
prevent damage due to dehydration of the sensing elements, place a few drops of water in
the cap before the probe is covered. The probes must not be subjected to freezing; store
above 32oF.

4. Flush the chemical lines and chemical pumps with clean water, and then drain the entire
chemical addition system. Fill the pump housing with antifreeze if appropriate.

5. Drain the scrubber sump completely and then fill the sump to the overflow level with
clean water. Recirculate for approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Drain the scrubber. Do
not drain the scrubber without first verifying that an atmospheric vent is provided. If the
inlet or outlet ducting is open to the atmosphere, this will provide adequate venting.

6. Fill the recycle pump housing with antifreeze if appropriate (approximately one cup is
required). Drain seal water lines (if applicable).

7. Shut off power to the control panel or motor control center.

MAINTAINING EQUIPMENT

Except for components that need periodic lubrication, preventative maintenance is not required
for the scrubber system. Daily inspection of the system is encouraged in order that corrective
maintenance, as outlined below, is not postponed.

Liquid Distributor

Spray nozzles should be inspected after the first week of operation and monthly thereafter. The
spray pattern should be uniform and cover a full 360o arc in order to prevent problems related to
poor liquid distribution. Also inspect nozzles for accumulation of scale or slime.

To correct a defective spray pattern stop flow to the unit, remove the header and clean each
affected nozzle. Depending on the condition of the nozzle, chemical or mechanical cleaning may
be necessary. Replace the header and resume operation, making sure that the defects are
corrected.

072101 22 O & M Instructions 221-18


Packing

Inspect the packing each month for accumulation of sludge, scale, or slime. Pressure drop
increases when the packing becomes fouled. Packing should be cleaned before the pressure drop
exceeds the clean-pack pressure drop by 50 percent or more, or when visual inspection indicates
that cleaning is necessary.

It is usually possible to clean the unit by recirculating a cleaning solution instead of the normal
scrubbing solution. This procedure is outlined below. All other chemical feeds must be turned
off during cleaning. Before attempting to clean the unit, analyze the material causing the
problem in order to determine its nature.

Mist Eliminator

Inspect the mist eliminator each month for accumulation of sludge, scale, or slime. It should be
cleaned before the pressure drop exceeds that which existed on the clean unit by 1/4" w.g., or
when visual inspection indicates that cleaning is necessary. The procedure is outlined below.

Recycle Pumps

Periodic lubrication of bearings, and inspection of pumps for leakage around the shaft and for
excessive vibration is required. Mechanical seals should not leak, but a steady drip rate is
required when packing is used. Adjust the packing gland per the manufacturer's instructions.
Follow maintenance instructions which are included elsewhere in this manual.

Since the pump impeller can become fouled by solids or by formation of scale, it may be
necessary to clean the pump as well as the packing. This is easily accomplished since the recycle
pump is generally used during cleaning of the pack, and it is exposed to the same cleaning
chemicals. In the worst case, it may be necessary to open the pump casing and remove the
solids.

Exhaust Fans

Check for excessive vibrations and excessive bearing temperature. Periodic lubrication of
bearings is required. Inspect drive belts for proper tension and for wear. Follow maintenance
instructions which are included elsewhere in this manual.

Chemical Metering Pumps

Solenoid-actuated diaphragm pumps do not require more than periodic inspection. Check at
approximately on month intervals to see that delivery rate is per design. In addition to these
procedures, hydraulically-actuated pumps must be checked for proper oil level, and the lubricant
must be replaced in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions which are found elsewhere
in this manual.

072101 23 O & M Instructions 221-18


Most failure to deliver problems involve plugged or otherwise nonfunctional check valves, or
failure to maintain prime. If check valves must be removed in order to inspect or clean them, be
sure to follow the maintenance instructions and the procedures for proper handling of chemicals
which are found elsewhere in this manual.

Sensors/Probes

Probes must be checked periodically in order to ensure that they are giving accurate readings.
This should be done on a weekly basis. The easiest way to check accuracy of the readings is to
perform an independent analysis of the scrubbing solution and compare the results to those of the
system controller.

If this cannot be done, if the results do not compare, or if it has been several months, it will be
necessary to calibrate the analyzer. Consult the pH/ORP Control section of this manual for
details. Before removing probes from a pipe or tank, be sure that valves are closed and pressure
is relieved in order to prevent loss of fluid and possible injury.

Instability can be introduced by ground loops, air bubbles flowing past the sensor, and by
improper wiring methods (e.g. loose connections or close proximity of control and power wires).

PACK CLEANING PROCEDURE

The procedure for cleaning the packing in place is as follows:

1. Take the unit off-line. Shut down the recycle pump.

2. Open the drain and discharge the entire contents of the sump to a suitable wastewater
treatment or disposal system.

3. Rinse the unit once by filling the sump with clean water, running the recycle pump for at
least one half hour, and then draining. This liquid should also be discharged to a suitable
wastewater treatment or disposal system.

4. Close the drain valve and fill the sump tank with the cleaning solution. Start the recycle
pump.

5. Recirculate the solution through the scrubber for at least 3 to 4 hours, although 8 to 10
hours is preferred for best efficiency.

6. Stop the recycle pump, drain the sump, and inspect the packing. If the packing still needs
cleaning, repeat the procedure.

7. If the packing is clean, refill the sump with fresh water and run the recycle pump for a
few minutes in order to rinse the unit. Drain the sump and repeat with fresh water.
Finally, drain the sump again.

072101 24 O & M Instructions 221-18


8. Inspect the sump and remove any foreign matter that may have accumulated. The unit is
then ready for start-up.

If the packing must be removed for cleaning, proceed as follows:

1. Take the unit off-line. Shut down the pump.

2. Open the drain and discharge the entire contents of the sump to a suitable wastewater
treatment or disposal system.

3. Rinse the packing material once by recirculating fresh water.

4. Prepare a cleaning solution as outlined below.

5. Open access doors and remove the packing media, placing the elements into a cleaning
tank.

6. Flood the tank with cleaning solution and let stand for 3 to 4 hours, although 8 to 10
hours is preferred for best efficiency. During this time, maintain concentration in the
solution by adding chemical as needed. Agitation of the solution is helpful.

7. When the elements are clean, drain the cleaning tank and refill with fresh water in order
to rinse the media. Repeat with fresh water. Finally, drain the cleaning tank again.

8. Remove the media from the cleaning tank and place it in the scrubber. The unit is ready
for normal start-up.

CLEANING MIST ELIMINATORS

Mist eliminators are manufactured with a variety of media elements. Chevron blades, random-
dumped packing, and mesh pads are all used.

If the scrubber has a washdown nozzle for the mist eliminator section, or if a cleaning nozzle can
be inserted through the spray header access port, the procedure for cleaning is as follows:

1. Turn pump motor off. Drain the sump.

2. Using only fresh water, wash down the mist eliminator for about five to ten minutes, or
until the water from the drain is clean.

3. With inspection doors open, allow the mist eliminator to drain for several hours. The
media must be dry before it is placed back into service.

4. Proceed with normal start-up.

072101 25 O & M Instructions 221-18


5. Check the outlet stack while the unit is in operation. Some misting may occur for a
short period of time. If it lasts for more than fifteen or twenty minutes, turn off the
unit and immediately contact the factory.

6. If this procedure does not work, the mist eliminator must be removed in order to provide
adequate washing and drying.

If the normal washdown procedure does not work, the media elements must be removed in order
to provide adequate washing and drying. The procedure for cleaning is as follows:

1. Turn pump motor off. Drain the sump.

2. Prepare cleaning solution as outlined below.

3. Open access doors and remove mist eliminator media, placing the elements into a
cleaning tank. If there are no access doors, it will be necessary to remove the elements
through the exhaust outlet of the vessel, or to construct an access port from which to
remove the elements.

4. Flood the tank with cleaning solution and let stand for 3 to 4 hours, although 8 to 10
hours is preferred for best efficiency. During this time, maintain concentration in the
solution by adding chemical as needed. Agitation of the solution is helpful.

5. Mesh pads should be cleaned by soaking to ensure that all layers of the pad are exposed
to the cleaning solution. Flexing the pad and/or alternately dipping and withdrawing it
from the solution is effective in loosening scale.

If plugging affects only the surface layers of the pad, it is possible to use high pressure
(up to 250 psig) and high volume washing to mechanically remove material. Wash only
from the front side of the pad.

6. When the elements are clean, drain the cleaning tank and refill with fresh water in order
to rinse the media. Repeat with fresh water. Finally, drain the cleaning tank again.

7. Remove the media from the cleaning tank and place it in the scrubber. The unit is ready
for normal start-up.

8. Check the outlet stack while the unit is in operation. Some misting may occur for a short
period of time. If it lasts for more than fifteen or twenty minutes, turn off the unit and
immediately contact the factory.

PREPARATION OF CLEANING SOLUTIONS

Prepare a volume of solution to fill the sump to its normal liquid level, or to fill a cleaning tank.
The temperature of this solution should not exceed 120oF.

072101 26 O & M Instructions 221-18


Dilute acid will remove scale or sludge caused by elements that form insoluble carbonates,
sulfates, or hydroxides.

A 20% solution of sulfamic acid (HSO3NH2) is prepared by dissolving 1.8 pounds of dry
sulfamic acid per gallon of solution.

Hydrochloric (muriatic) and sulfuric acids are prepared by adding two (2) gallons of 30%
acid per 100 gallons of solution.

A chlorine solution will remove deposits caused by growth of microorganisms (slime). Chlorine
gas may be released if the pH of solution is lowered.

A 2% solution of hypochlorite is prepared by adding 13 gallons of 15% hypochlorite per


100 gallons of solution.

Other cases than those mentioned above will require individual analysis. It will be necessary to
select a cleaning agent that is compatible with the materials of construction, that is effective for
the particular foulant, and that is safe to use.

TROUBLESHOOTING

This guide should help you to resolve problems which operators may have if various parts of the
system fail or are not maintained. Problems with auxiliary equipment should be resolved by
consulting manuals for the particular component.

1. Low Removal Efficiency

If the scrubber is not removing contaminants in accordance with the design basis, you
should check for:

a. Chemical out of range - consult appropriate section of this guide.

b. Low liquid flow rate - consult appropriate section of this guide.

c. Low water make-up/overflow rate - increase rate to prevent excessive accumulation


of reaction products that inhibit absorption or reaction.

2. Fouled Internals

Some scale formation or sludge accumulation is to be expected. Periodic cleaning is


necessary to prevent its becoming excessive. Scale formation may be excessive because
of:

a. Too high chemical concentration - clean affected items and reduce chemical level in
the recycle liquid to prevent crystallization.

b. Low water make-up rate - clean affected items and increase rate to prevent excessive

072101 27 O & M Instructions 221-18


accumulation of compounds which form scale in the scrubbing liquid.

c. Make-up water has high scale potential - clean affected items and install water
conditioning equipment.

3. Chemical Out of Range

This condition indicates that the chemical feed system or the solution blowdown system
is not operating properly. You should check for:

a. Lack of chemical - the storage tank may be empty, the pump suction line may not be
in the liquid, or the pump suction or discharge lines may be blocked.

b. Metering pump not operating properly - check connections to power and controller.
Consult pump manual for other details.

c. Controller not operating properly - check connections and set points. Consult
controller manual for other details.

d. Probe not operating properly - check connections, try to calibrate and/or clean.
Consult probe manual for other details.

e. Metering pump operates but cannot keep up with demand - pump could be
undersized due to reduction in chemical strength or increase in scrubber loadings.
NOTE: A change in loadings or in the character of the contaminant may require re-
evaluation of operating mode, including set points, chemical concentration, or type
of chemical.

f. Blowdown valve not operating properly - check power and control connections; try
to operate manually. Consult valve manual for other details.

4. Low Liquid Flow Rate

Variations in the liquid flow rate can have both good and bad effects. If the liquid flow
rate deviates from design flow by more than 5 percent, you should check for:

a. Pump problems - due to electrical or mechanical defects. Consult pump manual.

b. System pressure too high - due to obstruction such as partially closed valve or
plugged nozzle.

c. Control panel upset - due to damaged switch, delay timer, or interlock.

072101 28 O & M Instructions 221-18


5. Low Air Flow Rate

Variations in air flow rate can have both good and bad effects. If the air flow rate
deviates from design flow by more than 5 percent, you should check for:

a. Fan speed too low - due to loose belt, wrong size drive sheaves, motor faults.
Correct drive problem.

b. System pressure too high - due to obstruction such as closed damper, fouled
packing, or foreign object in air pathway. System changes such as additional duct or
equipment can increase static pressure losses. Remove obstruction or change fan to
accept higher load.

c. Scrubbing solution foaming - due to type and concentration of compounds being


absorbed. Correct by use of anti-foam or by changes in the process.

6. High Differential Pressure/Flooding

Excessive pressure loss through the packing or flooding of the packing with liquid are
indicative of problems that must be corrected. You should check for:

a. Fouled packing - due to accumulation of scale, slime, or other material on the


packing. Requires chemical or mechanical cleaning.

b. High air and/or liquid flow rate - due to improper sizing or control of fan and pump
systems. Adjust to design rates.

7. Odorous Exhaust

If odors are detected at the exhaust of an odor control scrubber, you should check for:

a. Proper solution chemistry. If the control parameters are within their proper limits, it
may be necessary to re-evaluate the chemical requirements of the application.

b. Proper recycle and air flow rates.

c. Plugged nozzles or fouled packing.

When chlorine is used in the scrubbing solution its odor may be detected at the scrubber exhaust.
It disperses quickly and should not cause any problems. If excessive chlorine odor is detected,
you should check for proper solution pH and chlorine concentration.

8. Odorous Effluent

The overflow (purge) water should be odourless, or nearly odorless. If it is not, you
should check for:

072101 29 O & M Instructions 221-18


a. Proper solution chemistry. If the control parameters are within their proper limits, it
may be necessary to re-evaluate the chemical requirements of the application.

b. Low make-up water rate.

9. Misting from Scrubber

a. Check pressure drop and inspect the mist eliminator for fouling. Clean if required.

b. Verify air flow rate.

c. Inspect mist eliminator for bypass or process mist carryover.

d. Verify mist eliminator media type including visual verification that mist eliminator
is not dislodged.

e. If misting continues, immediately shut down the unit and contact the factory.

Jaeger Tri-Packs are available in a variety of injection-molded plastics for different applications. The maximum operating tempera-
tures for these different resins vary from material to material and are also affected by specific process variables. The data present-
ed below correspond to maximum continuous operating temperatures at atmospheric pressure and systems that are essentially air
and water. The presence of solvents, acids, free radicals, and oxidants needs to be considered. Furthermore, these temperatures
correspond to the maximum recommended bed depth for each packing size and material. These maximum bed depths are different
depending on the application. Consult with Jaeger in respect to the maximum bed depth for your particular application.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Fluid Flow Switch - Model Q-8CR
INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installation
The Q-8CR fluid flow switch is supplied with a 1- 1 /4" x 1" Fortron (PPS) TT bushing threaded in place
with 2 to 3 wraps of teflon tape, which must be intact or renewed if bushing and switch are separated before
assembly in tank. Care must be exercised when threading the PVC bushing into plastic or metal fittings.
Apply a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 3 wraps of teflon tape to threads of bushing - this is especially
important if unit is to be used in metal fittings where coarse METAL THREADS could gall plastic if not
lubricated. The plastic bushing CAN BE CRACKED if the main body of the flow switch is tightened into it
FIRST. Cracking will not occur if the bushing is FIRST tightened into the pipe or tank fitting and THEN the Q-
8CR body is tightened into the bushing.
Thus:
1) Teflon tape thread and tighten plastic bushing into pipe or tank fitting.

2) Teflon tape thread and tighten Q-8CR switch into PLASTIC bushing by applying wrench to hexagon
section. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until ARROW on body points in DIRECTION OF FLOW and threads are leak
tight.
Plumbers' tools such as pipe wrenches are not recommended. If possible use a "Ridgid" type wrench
where the smooth jaws closely fit the hexagon section.
Electrical Wiring
1) Remove gland nut, grommet and switch cover.
2) Strip outer jacket of electrical cord back approximately 1-1/4". Strip insulation from individual conductors
back approximately 1/4".
3) Slip on terminals are supplied with each switch. Remove from switch terminals and crimp on or solder to
electrical leads.
4) Feed electrical cable through gland nut, grommet and switch cover as shown.

5) Apply slip on terminals to appropriate contacts of microswitch. Slide cover down cable and fasten to body
of switch with four screws provided. Slide grommet down cable until outer jacket is level with small end of
grommet per illustration page 2. Push grommet into tapered end of cover. Hold cable jacket to prevent
rotation and thread gland nut firmly on to cover.

when flow level is less than set point (power to load when flow is greater than set point (power to load
interrupted when flow increases to above set point.) interrupted when flow is decreases to below set point.)

Q-8CR Flow Switch Operational Adjustment

REMOVE COVER

Switch Point Adjustment

1) Remove anodized cover

2) Adjust fluid flow in system to desired rate WITHOUT regard to Q-8CR switch point setting.

3) The switch point adjusting mechanism consists of an adjusting screw, a "U" shaped leadscrew nut, and
a helical spring.

CLOCKWISE rotation of the adjusting screw changes the microswitch actuation point toward HIGHER flow
rates.

NOTES: All Q-8CR units are factory set at the lower end of the flow range, i.e., the adjusting screw is set at
the low flow counterclockwise
position.

The leadscrew nut locks the adjusting screw in position, maintaining the flow switch setpoint under all
environmental conditions.

4) Turn the adjusting screw in a clockwise direction until the microswitch is actuated, while maintaining the
desired fluid flow rate in the system. Turn the adjusting screw TWO additional turns in the clockwise direc-
tion and then slowly back off in a counterclockwise direction until microswitch is again actuated. The Q-8CR
flow switch is now set for maximum sensitivity for detecting small flow changes.

5) When set for maximum sensitivity (100% point) as described in step 4 above, flow turbulence may cause
rapid on/off switching (dithering) of the microswitch contacts, resulting in reduced switch contact life and
"noise" in the electrical circuit. This is eliminated by turning the adjusting
screw in a counterclockwise direction.

6) Microswitch actuation point may be monitored during the adjustment procedure detailed in 4) and 5)
above by an audible click or with an ohm meter before connecting line power to the terminal strip, or by
monitoring the voltage supplied to the load through the microswitch.

7) If the system flow rate is changed, the Q-8CR can be adjusted to monitor the new flow rate by turning the
adjusting screw in a counterclockwise direction to the minimum flow position and then proceeding as in 4)
and 5) above.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Because they contain high-speed rotating parts, fans and their accessories can present certain
dangers to installation and maintenance personnel. Carelessness can result in serious injury. The
following precautions are most important:

1. In addition to the obvious hazards associated with the moving parts of rotating
machinery, fans present additional potential hazards that are not so obvious and should be
considered by the user for safe operation.

2. Fans operate by creating suction and air pressure which can be hazardous. Solid objects
can be drawn into a fan's inlet and then become dangerous projectiles when they are
exhausted through the fan's outlet. SOLID OBJECTS CAN ALSO CAUSE FAN
FAILURE OR IMPELLER FAILURE DUE TO IMBALANCE OR DAMAGE TO
THE IMPELLER BLADES. Personnel in close proximity to a fan inlet can be
overcome by the suction, and drawn into the fan.

Whenever there is a possibility that solid objects can be drawn into a remote intake, the
intake should be guarded at all times. Before a guard is removed, the fan should be
disconnected and the power supply locked out.

Where fans are installed over an occupied area, safety guards should be provided to
prevent dropped objects from entering this area during installation and maintenance.

3. Access doors to a fan or duct system should never be opened while the fan is operating or
coasting to a stop. On the downstream (or pressure) side of the system, releasing the door
with the system in operation may result in an explosive opening. On the upstream (or
suction) side, the inflow may be sufficient to draw in tools, clothing, and other materials.
The power supply should always be locked out prior to accessing a fan or ductwork. Fan
design sometimes requires access doors to be supplied with internal components such as a
plug to fill a hole in the fan casing. These doors can often be heavy and difficult to
handle. Care should be exercised when opening, removing, and installing these
components.

4. Even when the power supply is locked out, fans may cause injury or damage if the
impeller is subject to "windmilling" which is the turning of the impeller and drive
components due to a draft in the system. To guard against this hazard, the impeller
should be secured to physically restrict rotational movement.

5. Many fans, fan motors, and fan components run at temperatures that could burn someone
who comes in contact with the hot areas, including discharged or leaking gases. If this
potential hazard is present, steps should be taken so that personnel working near the fan
are aware of the danger and can exercise caution.

6. Some fans can generate sound that could be hazardous to exposed personnel. Sound
pressure can be measured in the field, but obtaining accurate data is difficult. The

221-06 / 022803 2
environment in which the fan operates can impact the ability to obtain accurate fan sound
readings. Consult the manufacturer for fan sound data. It is the responsibility of the user,
and maintainer to comply with specific safety requirements mandated by federal, state,
and local codes; and to follow industry safety standards and practices published by
AMCA and by other recognized agencies and associations, regarding personnel safety
from exposure to fan noise associated with use and exposure to the equipment.

7. Every fan should be installed with a suitable device allowing it to be completely


disconnected or isolated from the power supply. Many fans are started by remote
switches or push-buttons, by interlocks with other equipment, or by automatic controls.
Before performing any maintenance, inspection, or other activity which will require
removal of guards, ductwork, access doors, etc., or exposure of moving parts, the fan
power supply should be locked out and the fan tagged out of service.

In cases where the fan is power driven by a source other than an electric motor,
appropriate provisions should be made for the isolation or disengagement of the power
supply.

8. Make a periodic inspection of the fan wheel, bearings, and drive to be sure that corrosion
and/or abrasion has not set in to weaken them. Corrosion and/or abrasion indicates
danger of mechanical failure. Corroded or worn parts should be replaced.

HANDLING & STORAGE

When they are received, immediately unpack and inspect the fan and accessories. Any visible
sign of damage should be noted on the delivery receipt. Rotate the fan wheel by hand to see that
it turns freely and does not bind. Check to see that all other parts or accessories are in
satisfactory condition. It is the customer's responsibility to note any damage in case of a claim.
No material or equipment may be returned without our prior written consent which, if granted,
will include shipping instructions that must be followed.

Fans should be lifted by their bases or by the lifting eyes or lugs provided for that purpose.
Never lift the fan by the shaft or housing.

During shipping and storage, fans should be protected from the elements and from falling
construction debris. Machined parts should be protected by coating with grease. Cover inlet and
outlet openings to prevent the accumulation of dirt and moisture in the housing. If outdoor
storage is necessary, enclose the fan within a reflective covering, which is positioned in such a
manner that air is allowed to circulate around the equipment. This will help to prevent build-up
of excessive heat and moisture.

Rotate the fan wheel at least every thirty days in order to coat the bearings with lubricant. This
helps to retard oxidation and corrosion, and reduces the possibility of false brinelling. At the
same time, purge the bearings with grease in order to remove condensed moisture. Rotate the
wheel while greasing and do not use high-pressure greasers. In severe weather or where the
temperature varies greatly, this procedure should be done more often.

221-06 / 022803 3
INSTALLATION

1. Place the fan on a rigid foundation such as a concrete base or a steel platform. This is
necessary for ensuring vibration-free equipment. The weight of the foundation should be
two to three times the weight of the fan and motor. The foundation should extend
beyond the outline of the fan by at least six inches.

Platforms should be of welded construction in order to maintain permanent alignment of


all members. They should have sufficient diagonal bracing for supporting the load and
preventing side sway. An insufficient platform or foundation can produce a state of
vibration that is not a result of fan imbalance. It is the responsibility of the owner to
provide an appropriate platform or foundation.

2. Level the fan by shimming where necessary and then anchor the fan securely to the
foundation. If the base is not properly shimmed, the fan housing can distort causing the
wheel to rub the inlet cone.

The separation distance between the inlet sleeve of the fan and the end of the inlet air duct
should be -1. This is the optimum distance to isolate the fan from the air duct system
and provide adequate support for the flexible connection.

If vibration isolators are to be used, they should be installed between the fan and the
foundation. Make sure that the fan and its drive motor are not on independently isolated
foundations or bases.

3. Connect the drain coupling on the housing to the waste drain. Provide a trap or submerge
the end of the pipe to prevent loss of air. The depth of the trap or submergence must be
greater than the fan static pressure rating.

4. Install all safety accessories - belt and shaft guards, inlet screens - before start-up.

5. For FW scrubbers, which include an integral fan, refer to Packed Bed Scrubber O & M
221-18 for scrubber installation instructions.

6. Start-Up Check List

6.1 Before putting any fan into initial operation, the manufacturer's instructions should
be followed. Transportation, handling, and installation can cause fasteners to
loosen, and cause misalignment of fan components. Carefully follow this check list
when commissioning equipment.

6.2 Lock out the primary and all secondary power sources.

6.3 A complete inspection should be made of all of the ductwork and the interior of the
fan. Make certain there is no foreign material which can be drawn into or blown

221-06 / 022803 4
through the fan or ductwork. Appropriate protective measures and safety practices
should be observed when entering or working within these areas. These measures
might include the use of goggles, respirators, or other personal protective devices.

6.4 Make sure the foundation or mounting arrangement and the duct connections are
adequately designed and installed per drawings and in accordance with recognized
acceptable engineering practices and with the fan manufacturer's recommendations.

6.5 Check and tighten all bolts, fasteners, and set screws as necessary.

6.6 Check the fan assembly and bearings for proper grounding to prevent static
electricity discharge.

6.7 Check bearings for recommended lubricant and lubrication amount.

6.8 Spin the rotating assembly by hand to determine whether it rotates freely, without
hitting anything, and is not grossly out of balance.

6.9 Ensure power and drive components such as motor starter, variable frequency drive,
or hydraulic power unit are properly sized, matched, and connected to the fan.
Ensure use of correct voltage. Wire the motor in accordance with all applicable
electrical codes. Check motor rotation to ensure proper operation by bump starting
the motor.

6.10 Inspect impeller for proper rotation for the fan design.

6.11 Check alignment of drives and all other components.

6.12 Check the belt drive for proper sheave selection and installation and make sure the
sheaves are not reversed. When the sheaves are reversed, it is possible to either run
the fan at twice or half the design speed. If the fan runs at twice the design speed,
catastrophic damage to the fan and serious injury to persons in the area could result.

6.13 Check belt tension often. Ideal tension is the tension at which the belt will not slip
under peak load conditions. Over-tensioning shortens belt and bearing life. Keep
belts free from foreign material which may cause slipping. The use of belt dressing
is not recommended. See Appendix A for recommend tensioning.

6.14 Properly secure all safety guards and inlet screen.

6.15 Assure that all appropriate warnings have been put in place.

6.16 Secure all access doors to the fan and ductwork.

221-06 / 022803 5
6.17 Momentarily energize the fan to check the direction of rotation. Listen as the fan
coasts to a stop for any unusual noise, identify the source, and take corrective action
as necessary. Any severe out of balance condition should be reported immediately.
Do not run the fan in an out of balance condition. To avoid overloading the motor,
block the inlet (i.e. induce static pressure loss) while performing this check.

6.18 Switch on the electrical supply and allow the fan to reach full speed. Check fan
speed with a tachometer. Check carefully for:

1. Excessive vibration
2. Unusual noise
3. Proper belt alignment
4. Proper lubrication
5. Proper amperage, voltage, or power values.
6. If any problem is indicated, SWITCH OFF IMMEDIATELY.
7. Lock out the power supply. Secure the fan impeller if there is a
potential for windmilling. Check carefully for the cause of the trouble,
correct as necessary, and repeat check list procedure.

6.19 Even if the fan appears to be operating satisfactorily, shut down after a brief period,
lock out the power supply, and recheck items 6.5 through 6.17 as the initial start-up
may have loosened the bolts, fasteners, and set screws.

6.20 Install inlet and outlet ducting as required. Ductwork should be self-supporting
since its weight may distort the fan housing, causing contact between wheel and
inlet cone.

6.21 The fan may now be put into operation, but during the first eight hours of running, it
should be closely observed and checked for excessive vibration and noise. At this
time checks should also be made of motor input current and motor and bearing
temperatures to ensure that they do not exceed manufacturer's recommendations.

6.22 After eight hours of operation, the fan should be shut down and the power locked
out. Check list items 6. 5 through 6.17 should be inspected and adjusted, if
necessary.

6.23 After twenty-four (24) hours of satisfactory operation, the fan should be shut down
(locked out) and the drive belt tension should be readjusted to recommended
tension. Tighten all bolts and set screws to manufacturer's specifications (consult
maintenance section of these instructions).

6.24 After commissioning and start-up, the fan should be operated and maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer's and component manufacturer's
recommendations.

221-06 / 022803 6
MAINTENANCE

Periodic inspection of all fan parts is essential to ensuring proper operating condition. The
frequency of these inspections depends on the application and on the condition of the air being
handled. We suggest, however, that the inspection interval not exceed one month.

CAUTION: Be sure that electrical supplies have been completely disconnected and locked out
before attempting any fan maintenance. If a disconnect switch has not been provided, remove all
fuses from the circuit and lock the fuse panel.

Fan Wheel

Inspect the fan wheel for any build-up of foreign material and for excessive wear. Make sure
that the impeller coating is continuous and that no bubbles or pinholes are present. Any build-up
of foreign material should be removed. Do not use sharp objects which might damage the
coating or laminate surface, thereby reducing corrosion resistance.

If the fan wheel shows excessive wear or other condition causing severe unbalance, it should be
replaced immediately. Follow instructions outlined below.

Belts and Drive

Replace sheaves that are corroded or that have worn grooves, burrs or rough spots. These
conditions impair drive efficiency and shorten belt life.

Check V-belt drive for proper alignment and belt tension as stated in paragraphs 6.11 and 6.13.
Belts must be perpendicular to fan and motor shafts. If belts show wear, they should be replaced.
On multiple belt drives, be sure to replace all belts. Never replace only a single belt from a
multiple belt set.

Dirt and grease reduce belt life. Clean belts with methyl chloroform, a suitable solvent, or with
soap and water.

Check tightness of all set screws and bolts. Adjust per the following schedule:

Set screws Hold-Down Bolts


Size Torque Size Torque
(in. - lb.) (in. - lb.)
10-32 33 3/8-16 240
1/4-28 87 1/2-13 600
5/16-24 165 5/8-11 1200
3/8-24 290 3/4-10 2100
7/16-20 430 7/8- 9 2000

221-06 / 022803 7
Bearings

Grease-lubricated bearings are standard on Duall fans. Bearings are completely filled with
grease prior to shipment from the factory. They require periodic lubrication in order to ensure
longer life and smooth operation. The frequency of lubrication depends on the conditions under
which the bearing must operate. Use the guidelines concerning bearing maintenance which are
outlined below.

Pedestal

Periodically inspect the fan pedestal for cracks or other signs of wear. Touch up the coating as
necessary to prevent corrosion.

Shaft Seals

When provided, shaft seals should be inspected whenever the other parts are inspected. Replace
them when they are worn. Reference Duall O & M manuals 221-23 or 221-29 as needed.

IMPELLER REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT

To remove the wheel:

- Remove belt guard, shaft guard, belts, and sheaves.

- Remove rust and other material from the fan shaft with emery paper.

- Loosen set screws on the bearing's self-locking collar. Turn the collar in a direction
opposite to that in which the impeller normally rotates in order to loosen. File smooth any
burrs from the set screws in order to be able to remove the shaft, and to prevent damage to
the bearing.

- Remove the inlet cone. To make re-installation easier, draw match marks on the cone and
housing before proceeding. With a putty knife, remove PVC caps on bolts holding the
collar of the fan inlet cone. Remove the bolts and slide the cone out of the housing.

- Slide the wheel and shaft assembly through the inlet opening in the fan housing.

To replace the wheel:

- Insert the shaft into the bearings but do not tighten bearing set screws.

- Replace the inlet cone and hand tighten in place.

- Pull wheel clear of inlet cone by sliding wheel/shaft assembly toward drive side.

221-06 / 022803 8
- Measure back approximately 3/16 inches from the front edge of the wheel and place a
mark on the inside surface. Use a wax pencil or other soft marker. Do not use a sharp
instrument which may damage the surface.

- Move the wheel to align this mark with the edge of the inlet cone.

- Using finger tips, center the inlet cone in front shroud ring of the wheel. Tighten bolts
holding the cone. Reglue PVC caps, using cleaner and PVC solvent glue.

- Tighten bearing locking collars and set screws in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendation. Collars lock when turned in the direction in which the shaft normally
rotates. Tighten nuts and bolts on inlet side holding bearing.

- Check assembly for proper clearances while rotating wheel by hand.

- Re-tighten all bolts, locking collars, and set screws after 8 hours operation and again after
24 hours.

FAN DRIVE REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT

Motors are provided with slide rail bases. They should be mounted as follows:

- Anchor the motor slide base to the foundation or bearing base.

- Coat studs on the slide base with grease to inhibit corrosion.

- Mount the motor on the slide base.

V-belt drives should be mounted as follows:

- Remove dirt and corrosion from fan and motor shafts.

- Coat bore of sheaves with grease or oil and mount sheaves on the shaft. Do not force the
sheave onto the shaft by hammering as this can damage both shaft and bearings.

- Move the motor to the position closest to the fan shaft by adjusting the motor slide base.

- Install the belts by working them over the grooves of each sheave until they are in place.
Never use a screwdriver or similar tool to install belts since this may break the cords in the
belts.

- Using a straightedge, adjust the sheaves so that both shafts are at right angles to the belts.
Tighten sheaves in place.

- Take up belt slack by adjusting the motor slide base. Use drive manufacturer's
recommendations for correct belt tension. Proper tension is indicated by slight bowing on

221-06 / 022803 9
the slack side of the belt. If belts are too tight, excessive wear on fan and motor bearings
will result. Insufficient tension shortens belt life and may cause vibration.

- Install belts and shaft guards before operating.

- Check belt tension and sheave alignment after several days of operation.

BEARING LUBRICATION AND REPLACEMENT

The bearings will discharge excess grease through the seals for a short period of time after start-
up. Do not replace this initial discharge. Leakage will cease after the excess grease has been
purged from the bearings. The bearing will also tend to run hotter than usual during initial start-
up.

Bearings require periodic lubrication in order to ensure longer life and smooth operation. The
frequency of lubrication depends on the conditions under which the bearing must operate. In
clean, dry environments having ambient temperatures of -30oF to 150oF we suggest the following
schedule:

SPEED TEMPERATURE CLEANLINESS GREASING


INTERVAL
100 RPM Up to 120oF. Clean 6 to 12 Months
500 RPM Up to 150oF. Clean 2 to 6 Months
1000 RPM Up to 210oF. Clean 2 Weeks to 2 Months
1500 RPM Over 210oF. Clean Weekly
Any Speed Up to 150oF. Dirty 1 Week to 1 Month
Any Speed Over 150oF. Dirty Daily to 2 Weeks
Any Speed Any Temperature Very Dirty Daily to 2 Weeks
Any Speed Any Temperature Extreme Conditions Daily to 2 Weeks

In atmospheres containing dust, water, or corrosive vapors the frequency of lubrication should be
increased. The bearings should be kept full. Slight leakage of grease from the seal will help to
prevent entrance of foreign material.

When lubricating bearings make sure that the fan is operating or at least that the wheel is rotated.
This will help to distribute the grease. Clean the grease fitting before you start in order to
prevent contamination. Pump in only enough grease to force a slight film of grease under the
seal all around the bearing. Observe the grease that is expelled. Black grease or foreign material
in the grease indicate that the greasing frequency should be increased.

Do not over-lubricate. Too much grease causes overheating. If excess grease in the bearing
causes overheating, remove the grease fitting to allow excess grease to escape.

221-06 / 022803 10
Do not use two types of grease in the same bearing. Flush old grease from bearings before
adding new grease of a different type. Care should be taken so that the seals are not blown out
due to excess pressure.

Bearings are lubricated at the factory with a lithium base grease having No. 2 consistency.
Relubrication with a similar grease that is suitable for ball bearing service is recommended. If
you are not familiar with the application, consult a reputable grease manufacturer.

The following greases or their equivalent are recommended:

Shell Dolium #2, Darina #2


Chevron SRI #2
Texaco AFB #2, Multifac EP #2
Mobil Mobilux #2
Gulf Oil Gulf Crown #2
Imperial Molub #2
Amoco Amolith #2

To mount new bearings:


- Inspect the shaft for wear at the bearing mounting positions. Shaft diameter should not
be undersized more than commercial ground and polished tolerances.

- Place new bearings loosely on the shaft. Drop mounting bolts in place and make them
snug. Adjust the position of the shaft with proper spacing at either end.

- Center both ends of the shaft in the bearing housing. Use the clearance in the mounting
holes for horizontal adjustment, and shims for vertical adjustment.

- Tighten the bearings to the base plate and check the position of the shaft for proper
alignment. The shaft should slide freely end to end.

- Refer to the section on wheel replacement for correct position of fan wheel in relation to
the inlet cone.

- Tighten the locking collar and set screws of the bearing closest to the wheel in
accordance with the manufacturer's recommendation. Collars lock when turned in the
direction in which the shaft normally rotates. Dimple the shaft beneath the set screw to
prevent slipping on vertically-mounted shafts.

- Grasp the sheave end of the shaft and pull away from the wheel while tapping the locking
collar of the bearing closest to the sheave with a soft mallet in the opposite direction, i.e.
toward the wheel.

- Tighten the locking collar and set screws of the sheave-end bearing in accordance with
the manufacturer's recommendation. Collars lock when turned in the direction in which

Limited Warranty
1. Baldor Electric motors are warranted for a period of one (1) year, from date of shipment from the factory or factory
warehouse against defects in material and workmanship. To allow for stocking and/or fabrication period and to
provide one year of actual service, the warranty period is extended for an additional period of six (6) months for a
total of eighteen (18) months from the original date of shipment from the factory or factory warehouse stock. In no
case will the warranty period be extended for a longer period. Baldor extends this limited warranty to each buyer
of the electric motor for the purpose of resale and to the original purchaser for use.
2. Baldor will, at its option repair or replace a motor which fails due to defects in material or workmanship during the
warranty period if:
a. the purchaser presents the defective motor at or ships it prepaid to, the Baldor plant in Fort Smith, Arkansas
or one of the Baldor Authorized Service Centers and
b. the purchaser gives written notification concerning the motor and the claimed defect including the date
purchased, the task performed by the Baldor motor and the problem encountered.
3. Baldor will not pay the cost of removal of any electric motor from any equipment, the cost of delivery to Fort Smith,
Arkansas or a Baldor Authorized Service Center, or the cost of any incidental or consequential damages resulting
from the claimed defects. (Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.) Any implied warranty given by laws shall be limited to
the duration of the warranty period hereunder. (Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.)
4. Baldor Authorized Service Centers, when convinced to their satisfaction that a Baldor motor developed defects in
material or workmanship within the warranty period, are authorized to proceed with the required repairs to fulfill
Baldors warranty when the cost of such repairs to be paid by Baldor does not exceed Baldors warranty repair
allowance. Baldor will not pay overtime premium repair charges without prior written authorization.
5. The cost of warranty repairs made by centers other than Baldor Authorized Service Centers WILL NOT be paid
unless first authorized in writing by Baldor.
6. Claims by a purchaser that a motor is defective even when a failure results within one hour after being placed into
service are not always justified. Therefore, Baldor Authorized Service Centers must determine from the condition
of the motor as delivered to the center whether or not the motor is defective. If in the opinion of a Baldor
Authorized Service Center, a motor did not fail as a result of defects in material or workmanship, the center is to
proceed with repairs only if the purchaser agrees to pay for such repairs. If the decision is in dispute, the
purchaser should still pay for the repairs and submit the paid invoice and the Authorized Service Centers signed
service report to Baldor for further consideration.
7. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
Note that Baldor SuperER Premium Efficiency electric motors are warranted for a period of three (3) years.
Baldor IEEE 841 electric motors are warranted for a period of five (5) years.
All other terms and conditions of the Limited Warranty statement apply.

MN400 General Information 1-3


Section 1
General Information

Receiving Each Baldor Electric Motor is thoroughly tested at the factory and carefully packaged for
shipment. When you receive your motor, there are several things you should do
immediately.
1. Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage
immediately to the commercial carrier that delivered your motor.
2. Verify that the part number of the motor you received is the same as the part
number listed on your purchase order.
Storage If the motor is not put into service immediately, the motor must be stored in a clean, dry
and warm location. Several precautionary steps must be performed to avoid motor
damage during storage.
1. Use a Megger periodically to ensure that the integrity of the winding insulation
has been maintained. Record the Megger readings. Immediately investigate
any significant drop in insulation resistance.
2. Do not lubricate bearings during storage. Motor bearings are packed with
grease at the factory. Excessive grease can damage insulation quality.
3. Rotate motor shaft at least 10 turns every two months during storage (more
frequently if possible). This will prevent bearing damage due to storage.
4. If the storage location is damp or humid, the motor windings must be protected
from moisture. This can be done by applying power to the motors space
heater (if available) while the motor is in storage.
Unpacking Each Baldor motor is packaged for ease of handling and to prevent entry of
contaminants.
1. To avoid condensation inside the motor, do not unpack until the motor has
reached room temperature. (Room temperature is the temperature of the room
in which it will be installed). The packing provides insulation from temperature
changes during transportation.
2. When the motor has reached room temperature, remove all protective wrapping
material from the motor.
Handling The motor should be lifted using the lifting lugs or eye bolts provided.
1. Use the lugs or eye bolts provided to lift the motor. Never attempt to lift the
motor and additional equipment connected to the motor by this method. The
lugs or eye bolts provided are designed to lift only the motor. Never lift the
motor by the motor shaft or the hood of a WPII motor.
2. When lifting a WPII (weatherproof Type 2) motor, do not lift the motor by
inserting lifting lugs into holes on top of the cooling hood. These lugs are to be
used for hood removal only. A spreader bar should be used to lift the motor by
the cast lifting lugs located on the motor frame.
3. If the motor must be mounted to a plate with the driven equipment such as
pump, compressor etc., it may not be possible to lift the motor alone. For this
case, the assembly should be lifted by a sling around the mounting base. The
entire assembly can be lifted as an assembly for installation. Do not lift using
the motor lugs or eye bolts provided.

If the load is unbalanced (as with couplings or additional attachments)


additional slings or other means must be used to prevent tipping. In any event,
the load must be secure before lifting.

Section 2
Installation & Operation

Overview Installation should conform to the National Electrical Code as well as local codes and
practices. When other devices are coupled to the motor shaft, be sure to install
protective devices to prevent future accidents. Some protective devices include,
coupling, belt guard, chain guard, shaft covers etc. These protect against accidental
contact with moving parts. Machinery that is accessible to personnel should provide
further protection in the form of guard rails, screening, warning signs etc.
Location The motor should be installed in an area that is protected from direct sunlight, corrosives,
harmful gases or liquids, dust, metallic particles, and vibration. Exposure to these can
reduce the operating life and degrade performance. Be sure to allow clearance for
ventilation and access for cleaning, repair, service and inspections. Ventilation is
extremely important. Be sure the area for ventilation is not obstructed. Obstructions will
limit the free passage of air. Motors get warm and the heat must be dissipated to prevent
damage.
These motors are not designed for atmospheric conditions that require explosion proof
operation. They must NOT be used in the presence of flammable or combustible vapors
or dust.
1. ODP motors are suitable only for indoor applications.
2. TEFC and WPII motors are suitable for indoor or outdoor standard service
applications.
Mounting The motor must be securely installed to a rigid foundation or mounting surface to
minimize vibration and maintain alignment between the motor and shaft load. Failure to
provide a proper mounting surface may cause vibration, misalignment and bearing
damage.
Foundation caps and sole plates are designed to act as spacers for the equipment they
support. If these devices are used, be sure that they are evenly supported by the
foundation or mounting surface.
After installation is complete and accurate alignment of the motor and load is
accomplished, the base should be grouted to the foundation to maintain this alignment.
The standard motor base is designed for horizontal or vertical mounting. Adjustable or
sliding rails are designed for horizontal mounting only. Consult your Baldor distributor or
authorized Baldor Service Center for further information.
Alignment Accurate alignment of the motor with the driven equipment is extremely important.
1. Direct Coupling
For direct drive, use flexible couplings if possible. Consult the drive or
equipment manufacturer for more information. Mechanical vibration and
roughness during operation may indicate poor alignment. Use dial indicators to
check alignment. The space between coupling hubs should be maintained as
recommended by the coupling manufacturer.
2. End-Play Adjustment
The axial position of the motor frame with respect to its load is also extremely
important. The motor bearings are not designed for excessive external axial
thrust loads. Improper adjustment will cause failure.
3. Pulley Ratio
The pulley ratio should not exceed 8:1.
4. Belt Drive
Align sheaves carefully to minimize belt wear and axial bearing loads (see
End-Play Adjustment). Belt tension should be sufficient to prevent belt slippage
at rated speed and load. However, belt slippage may occur during starting.
Caution: Do not over tension belts.
5. Sleeve bearing motors are only suitable for coupled loads.

MN400 Installation & Operation 2-1


Section 1
General Information

Doweling & Bolting After proper alignment is verified, dowel pins should be inserted through the motor feet
into the foundation. This will maintain the correct motor position should motor removal be
required. (Baldor motors are designed for doweling.)
1. Drill dowel holes in diagonally opposite motor feet in the locations provided.
2. Drill corresponding holes in the foundation.
3. Ream all holes.
4. Install proper fitting dowels.
5. Mounting bolts must be carefully tightened to prevent changes in alignment.
Use a flat washer and lock washer under each nut or bolt head to hold the
motor feet secure. Flanged nuts or bolts may be used as an alternative to
washers.
Power Connection Motor and control wiring, overload protection, disconnects, accessories and grounding
should conform to the National Electrical Code and local codes and practices.
Conduit Box For ease of making connections, an oversize conduit box is provided. The box can be
rotated 360 in 90 increments. Auxiliary conduit boxes are provided on some motors for
accessories such as space heaters, RTDs etc.
AC Power Connect the motor leads as shown on the connection diagram located on the name plate
or inside the cover on the conduit box. Be sure the following guidelines are met:
1. AC power is within 10% of rated voltage with rated frequency. (See motor
name plate for ratings).
OR
2. AC power is within 5% of rated frequency with rated voltage.
OR
3. A combined variation in voltage and frequency of 10% (sum of absolute
values) of rated values, provided the frequency variation does not exceed 5%
of rated frequency.
Performance within these voltage and frequency variations are shown in Figure 2-1.

Section 1
General Information

First Time Start Up Be sure that all power to motor and accessories is off. Be sure the motor shaft is
disconnected from the load and will not cause mechanical rotation of the motor shaft.
1. Make sure that the mechanical installation is secure. All bolts and nuts are
tightened etc.
2. If motor has been in storage or idle for some time, check winding insulation
integrity with a Megger.
3. Inspect all electrical connections for proper termination, clearance, mechanical
strength and electrical continuity.
4. Be sure all shipping materials and braces (if used) are removed from motor
shaft.
5. Manually rotate the motor shaft to ensure that it rotates freely.
6. Replace all panels and covers that were removed during installation.
7. Momentarily apply power and check the direction of rotation of the motor shaft.
8. If motor rotation is wrong, be sure power is off and change the motor lead
connections. Verify rotation direction before you continue.
9. Start the motor and ensure operation is smooth without excessive vibration or
noise. If so, run the motor for 1 hour with no load connected.
10. After 1 hour of operation, disconnect power and connect the load to the motor
shaft. Verify all coupling guards and protective devices are installed. Ensure
motor is properly ventilated.
Coupled Start Up This procedure assumes a coupled start up. Also, that the first time start up procedure
was successful.
1. Check the coupling and ensure that all guards and protective devices are
installed.
2. Check that the coupling is properly aligned and not binding.
3. The first coupled start up should be with no load. Apply power and verify that
the load is not transmitting excessive vibration back to the motor though the
coupling or the foundation. Vibration should be at an acceptable level.
4. Run for approximately 1 hour with the driven equipment in an unloaded
condition.
The equipment can now be loaded and operated within specified limits. Do not exceed
the name plate ratings for amperes for steady continuous loads.
Jogging and Repeated Starts Repeated starts and/or jogs of induction motors generally reduce the life of the motor
winding insulation. A much greater amount of heat is produced by each acceleration or
jog than than by the same motor under full load. If it is necessary to to repeatedly start or
jog the motor, it is advisable to check the application with your local Baldor distributor or
Baldor Service Center.
Heating - Duty rating and maximum ambient temperature are stated on the motor name
plate. Do not exceed these values. If there is any question regarding safe operation,
contact your local Baldor distributor or Baldor Service Center.

Section 3
Maintenance & Troubleshooting

WARNING: UL rated motors must only be serviced by authorized Baldor


Service Centers if these motors are to be returned to a flammable
and/or explosive atmosphere.
General Inspection Inspect the motor at regular intervals, approximately every 500 hours of operation or
every 3 months, whichever occurs first. Keep the motor clean and the ventilation
openings clear. The following steps should be performed at each inspection:
WARNING: Do not touch electrical connections before you first ensure that
power has been disconnected. Electrical shock can cause serious
or fatal injury. Only qualified personnel should attempt the
installation, operation and maintenance of this equipment.
1. Check that the motor is clean. Check that the interior and exterior of the motor
is free of dirt, oil, grease, water, etc. Oily vapor, paper pulp, textile lint, etc. can
accumulate and block motor ventilation. If the motor is not properly ventilated,
overheating can occur and cause early motor failure.
2. Use a Megger periodically to ensure that the integrity of the winding insulation
has been maintained. Record the Megger readings. Immediately investigate
any significant drop in insulation resistance.
3. Check all electrical connectors to be sure that they are tight.
Lubrication & Bearings Bearing grease will lose its lubricating ability over time, not suddenly. The lubricating
ability of a grease (over time) depends primarily on the type of grease, the size of the
bearing, the speed at which the bearing operates and the severity of the operating
conditions. Good results can be obtained if the following recommendations are used in
your maintenance program.
Type of Grease A high grade ball or roller bearing grease should be used. Recommended grease for
standard service conditions is Polyrex EM (Exxon Mobil).
Equivalent and compatible greases include:
Texaco Polystar, Rykon Premium #2, Pennzoil Pen 2 Lube and Chevron SRI.

Maximum operating temperature for standard motors = 110 C.


Shutdown temperature in case of a malfunction = 115 C.

Lubrication Intervals Recommended lubrication intervals are shown in Table 3-1. It is important to realize that
the recommended intervals of Table 3-1 are based on average use.

3-2 Maintenance & Troubleshooting MN400


Lubrication Procedure Be sure that the grease you are adding to the motor is compatible with the grease already
in the motor. Consult your Baldor distributor or an authorized service center if a grease
other than the recommended type is to be used.
Caution: To avoid damage to motor bearings, grease must be kept free of dirt.
For an extremely dirty environment, contact your Baldor distributor or
an authorized Baldor Service Center for additional information.
With Grease Outlet Plug
1. Clean all grease fittings.
2. Remove grease outlet plug.
3. If motor is stopped, add the recommended amount of grease.
If motor is to be greased while running, a slightly greater quantity of grease will
have to be added. Add grease slowly until new grease appears at shaft hole in
the endplate or purge outlet plug.
4. Re-install grease outlet plug.
Without Grease Outlet Plug
1. Disassemble motor.
2. Add recommended amount of grease to bearing and bearing cavity. (Bearing
should be about 1/3 full of grease and outboard bearing cavity should be about
1/2 full of grease.)
Note: Bearing is 1/3 full when only one side of bearing is completely full of grease.
3. Assemble motor.
Sample Lubrication Determination
Assume - NEMA 286T (IEC 180), 1750 RPM motor driving an exhaust fan in an ambient
temperature of 43 C and the atmosphere is moderately corrosive.
1. Table 3-1 list 9500 hours for standard conditions.
2. Table 3-2 classifies severity of service as Severe.
3. Table 3-3 lists a multiplier value of 0.5 for Severe conditions.
4. Table 3-4 shows that 1.2 in3 or 3.9 teaspoon of grease is to be added.
Note: Smaller bearings in size category may require reduced amounts of grease.

Suggested bearing and winding RTD setting guidelines
Most large frame AC Baldor motors with a 1.15 service factor are designed to operate
below a Class B (80C) temperature rise at rated load and are built with a Class H
winding insulation system. Based on this low temperature rise, RTD (Resistance
Temperature Detectors) settings for Class B rise should be used as a starting point.
Some motors with 1.0 service factor have Class F temperature rise.
The following tables show the suggested alarm and trip settings for RTDs. Proper
bearing and winding RTD alarm and trip settings should be selected based on these
tables unless otherwise specified for specific applications.
If the driven load is found to operate well below the initial temperature settings under
normal conditions, the alarm and trip settings may be reduced so that an abnormal
machine load will be identified.
The temperature limits are based on the installation of the winding RTDs imbedded in the
winding as specified by NEMA. Bearing RTDs should be installed so they are in contact
with the outer race on ball or roller bearings or in direct contact with the sleeve bearing
shell.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

FAFNIR SELF-LOCKING COLLAR INSTALLATION


Most Fafnir housed units come equipped with the self-locking collar to
facilitate the mounting of wide inner ring bearings. This self-locking
collar eliminates the need for locknuts, washers, shoulders, sleeves,
and adapters.
The locking collar has a counterbored recess which is made
purposely eccentric to the bore. The collar recess and the end of the
bearing inner ring with which it engages are both machined so that
they act as mating cams when on the shaft.
When the collar is engaged to the inner ring, it grips the shaft tightly
with a positive binding action that increases with use. No adjustments
of any kind are necessary. 3. Place the self-locking collar on the shaft with its cam adjacent to
the cam on the end of the bearings inner ring. Turn the collar in the
direction of shaft rotation. The eccentric recessed cam will slide over
and engage the corresponding cam on the bearing inner ring.

1. Slip the shaft through the pillow block or other Fafnir housed unit
which incorporates the wide inner ring bearing. Be certain the
bearing is aligned in position along the shaft to eliminate any
possibility of cramping loads.

4. Using a lightweight hammer and a drift pin inserted in the drift pin
hole strike in the direction of shaft rotation to positively engage the
collar. The wide inner ring is now locked to the shaft.

2. Fasten the unit securely to the base using the proper bolt size.

5. As a final step, fully tighten the setscrew. It exerts a wedging action


to hold the collar always in the engaged position, even under shock
load. This Fafnir design will operate effectively after the cams are
tightly locked in most cases with no setscrews at all.
