INSTALLATION AND START-UP

PREPARATION FOR SHIPMENT

SHIPPING COVERS ON SUCTION AND DISCHARGE FLANGES BULL PLUGS IN SEAL HOUSING, PORTS AND FLANGE PRESSURE TAPS DRIVER SHIPPED SEPARATELY FROM PUMP AND GEARBOX COUPLING AND OTHER SHIP LOOSE ITEMS SUCH AS SPECIAL TOOLS ARE ATTACHED TO THE SKID CHECK FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE

STORAGE

STORE IN CLEAN DRY AREA, IF NOT IMMEDIATELY INSTALLED

LEAVE SHIPPING COVERS, BULL PLUGS & ETC IN PLACE

OBSERVE DRIVER MANUFACTURE'S STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

SEE LONG TERM STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE MANUAL

INSPECTION

SUCTION AND DISCHARGE PIPING

PROVIDE 10 DIAMETERS OF STRAIGHT PIPE ON SUCTION PROVIDE 5 DIAMETERS ON DISCHARGE ALWAYS INSTALL CHECK VALVE IN DISCHARGE PIPING NEVER USE CONCENTRIC OR ECCENTRIC REDUCERS CLOSE TO SUCTION SUCTION AND DISCHARGE PIPES TO BE SUPPORTED INDEPENDENTLY FROM PUMP FLANGES CONTROL VALVE (FCV or manual) SHOULD BE INSTALLED CLOSE TO THE PUMP

STRAINERS TO BE SET AND CHECKED FOR CLEANLINESS

PIPING CONNECTIONS

Align process piping to pump Constrain piping to maintain allowable forces and moments (See Outline drawing for allowables) Torque piping connections Verify alignment after all piping connections have been made

MOUNTING

LMV/LMC VERTICAL WITOUT MOTOR STANDS:

MOTOR MUST BE REMOVED FOR MOST MAINTENANCE LEAVE HEAD ROOM FOR MOTOR REMOVAL PROVIDE SIDE ROOM FOR NORMAL MAINTENANCE

BMP/BMC HORIZONTAL:
MOTOR REMOVAL NOT REQUIRED FOR MAINTENANCE PROVIDE SIDE ROOM FOR MAINTENANCE

LMV/LMC VERTICAL STAND MOUNTED:

MOTOR REMOVAL NOT REQUIRED NEED ROOM TO REMOVE GEARBOX AND SEAL HOUSING ASSEMBLY

MOUNTING

<100HP DRIVE UNITS - IN-LINE NO BASE REQUIRED

ADEQUATE PIPE SUPPORT BOTH SIDES

18X18 BASE RECOMMENDED

CONCRETE FOUNDATION/GROUT REQUIRED FOR ALL OTHERS

MOUNTING

Vertical stand? Level top- shim and grout.

Horizontal? Level base- shim and grout.

Always let grout cure before tightening bolts.

MOTOR INSTALLATION

COUPLING ALIGNEMENT

Ensure shaft hubs are undamaged If pump casing removed for maintenance, re-install shims before alignment process Align motor to the pump Alignment tolerances to achieve (Record actual values)

Axial Coupling DBSE should be established from the coupling drawing Parallel +/- .002 (0.05mm) Angular +/- .002 (0.05mm)

PREPARATION FOR START-UP

DRAIN STORAGE OIL

FILL WITH CORRECT LUBRICATING OIL (ISO VG 32 OR 46):

ADJUST LEVEL ACCORDING TO THE MIN/MAX MARKS ON THE SIGHT GLASS

FILL FILTER AND HEAT EXCHANGER WITH OIL:

RUN AUXILIARY LUBE OIL PUMP IF AVAILABLE FILL MANUALLY IF NOT

PERFORM UNCOUPLED RUN OF THE MOTOR:

CHECK ROTATION (CW ON LMV-322, CCW ON OTHERS) CHECK AMPERAGE

PREPARATION FOR START-UP

OPEN PORT 1 CONNECTION

CHECK PRESENCE OF THE FILL AND VENT CAP OF THE GEARBOX

PRESSURIZE BUFFER IF REQUIRED

PRESSURIZE CASING
VENT CASING IF POSSIBLE (Through port 5 or 6)

IF NO AUXILIARY LUBE OIL PUMP:

JOG START (2-3 SEC.) UNTIL THE OIL PRESSURE RISE

START-UP

OPEN THE SUCTION VALVE AT 100% OPEN DISCHARGE VALVE PARTIALLY (depending on valve size and piping section) NEVER START AGAINST CLOSED DISCHARGE VALVE START CONTROL CRITICAL PARAMETERS (Oil pressure, minimum flow) BRING THE PUMP TO THE DESIRED FLOW BY THROTTLING DISCHARGE VALVE ADJUST THE COOLING WATER FLOW THROUGH THE HEAT EXCHANGER:
REQUIRED TEMPERATURE OF OIL IN THE GEARBOX SUMP: 60 TO 80C

START-UP

CHECK FOR ANY LEAKAGE ON PORT 1 CHECK THE LEVEL OF OIL CHECK THE LEVEL IN SEAL BUFFER POT (IF APPLICABLE) CHECK ALL PARAMETERS ACCORDING TO THE DESIGN:
FLOW, DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE ( HEAD), AMPERAGE, BUFFER PRESSURE
