5 Installation at Site
5.1 Safety RegulationsElectrical equipment operated in ”zone 1”hazardous locations must comply with the
explosion protection regulations. This is indicated on themotor rating plate.
If the equipment is installed in hazardous locations, theapplicable local explosion protection regulations and theregulations of the test certificate supplied with the equipmentand issued by the responsible approval authorities must beobserved and complied with.The test certificate must be kept close to the location ofoperation for easy access (e.g. foreman’s office).
5.2 Checks to Be Carried out Prior toInstallation
All structural work required must have been prepared inaccordance with the dimensions and loads stated in thedimension table / installation plan.The concrete foundations shall have sufficient strength(min. BN 25) to ensure safe and functional installation inaccordance with DIN 1045 or equivalent standards.Make sure that the concrete foundation has set firmly beforeplacing the unit on it. Its surface shall be truly horizontal andeven.
5.3 Installing the Pump / UnitBefore setting up the pump, check theoperating data. Ensure that the data on the
name plate matches the data in the order and the systemdata, e.g. operating voltage, frequency, pumped liquidtemperature etc.
The attachment shows the installation types DJ, DB, and DK.
The designation of parts can be taken from these drawings(part No.)
While the installation type DJ can be independent of the size ofthe pumpor themotor, the installation typesDBandDKdependon the size of the pump and the motor according to theattachment ”General Arrangement Drawing” (seecorrelation).
The site management must inform the installation personnelabout the local safety regulations prior to beginning theinstallation.
For all work subsequently described, the pump must be set upso it cannot fall over, and must be secured accordingly.The foot is to be bolted to the pump using the connectingelements supplied (see General Assembly Drawing and List ofComponents -- Annex).
Furthermore, themotor stool andpossibly thesupportsmustbeassembled. The motor stool must also be fixed with pinsbesides being bolted.
The foot must be bolted to the foundation blocks Usingadjusting screws, the pump must be aligned so that themachined motor connecting flange of the motor stool ishorizontally level in all directions, i.e. the pump stands exactlyin vertical position. Subsequently, the recesses arranged in thefoundation for the foundation blocks are grouted carefully witha concrete mixture. It must be assured that the base structureis resistant to torsion and twisting. After the concrete mixturehas set, the pump is to be connected to the piping withouttransmitting stresses or strains, and the motor installed. Theshafts must be carefully aligned with respect to each other andthe alignment of the coupling must be checked once again.
Observe operating instructions of the coupling!
Faulty alignment can lead to destruction of torque--transmittingcoupling elements and to bearing damage at the pump andmotor.According to the regulations concerning technical workingequipment, machines may only be operated with appropriatecontact protection. For this reason a coupling guard to DIN31001 must be installed prior to commissioning. Furthermore,the direction of rotation of the unit must be checked whether itcorresponds to the rotational direction arrow on the pumpcasing.Additional loads on discharge and suction nozzle, e.g. causedby:1. Weight of water--filled pipes2. Changes in length of piping due to temperature fluctuations3. Reaction forces due to unbraced expansion joints, may not
exceed the specified values * .(See section 10 -- ”Forces and Moments”).

5.3.1 Unlocking Pump RotorPrior to commissioningorprior to thealignment of thepumpandthe motor, the pump rotor must be unlocked.Loosen and unscrew hex. head bolt (901.17) from thenon--drive end bearing cover (160).Remove plug (916 -- acc. to parts list) in the nipple joint (731)on the top casing half (105.02).Mount flushing line (719.02)according to the drawingaswell asthe operating instructions ”Barrier water/flushing line”.Secure pipe unions with LOCTITE, type 221.
Fig. 6: Locking and unlocking the pump rotor
5.3.2 Aligning the Pump / DriveImproper alignment of the unit can cause damage toboth the coupling and the unit itself!
A pump set in vertical installation types DB and DK is correctlyaligned, if a straight--edge placed axially on both couplinghalves is the samedistance fromeach shaft at all points aroundthe circumference. In addition, the distance between the twocoupling halves must remain the same all around thecircumference. Use a feeler gauge, a wedge gauge or a dialmicrometer to verify (see fig. 7).

Fig. 7: Coupling alignment, using gauge and straight edgeSpecial instructions see appendix.
5.4 Connecting the PipingNever use the pump itself as an anchoragepoint for the piping.
Suction lift lines shall be laid with a rising slope towards thepump and suction head lines with a downward slope towardsthe pump. The pipelines shall be anchored in close proximity tothe pump and connected without transmitting any stresses orstrains. Their weightmust not exert any load on the pump.Withshort pipelines, the nominal diameters shall be at least equal tothe nominal diameters of the pump nozzles. For long pipelinesthe most economical nominal diameter has to be determinedfrom case to case.Any additional loads on the discharge and suctionnozzles, e.g. caused by:Weight of the water--filled pipes, changes in the length of pipesowing to temperature fluctuations, reaction forces due tounbraced expansion joints must not exceed the values statedin the installation plan.
An excessive, impermissible increase in the pipelineforcesmay cause leaks on the pumpwhere themediumhandled can escape into the atmosphere.
Danger of life when hot media are handled!
The flange covers on the pump suction and discharge nozzlesmust be removed prior to installation in the piping.
5.4.1 Auxiliary ConnectionsThe locations of the auxiliary connections (sealing liquid,flushing liquid, etc.) are indicated on the installation plan orpiping layout (see appendix).Please refer to the appendix for detailed assembly instructions.
These connections are required for properfunctioning of the pump and are therefore ofvital importance!
5.4.2 Coupling GuardIn compliance with the accident prevention regulationsthe pump must not be operated without a coupling
guard. If the customer specifically requests not to include acoupling guard in our delivery, then the operator must supplyone.
5.5 Final CheckRe--check the alignment as described in section 5.3.2.It must be easy to rotate the shaft by hand at the coupling.
Check the integrity and proper functioningof all connections.

6 Commissioning,Start--up / Shut down
Compliance with the following requirements isof paramount importance. Damage resulting
from non--compliance shall not be covered by the scope ofwarranty.
6.1 CommissioningBefore starting up the pump make sure that the followingrequirements have been checked and fulfilled:
-- Has the pump been firmly bolted to the foundation?-- Have the coupling and pump unit been aligned as
specified?-- Can the unit be easily rotated by hand at the coupling?
(Carry out at least one full rotation)-- Are the pipes properly fitted?-- Has the coupling guard been fitted?-- Have staff been informed about sources of danger and
measures been taken to comply with the accidentprevention regulations?
-- Correct start--up procedure for suction lift operation.-- Is the unit protected against overload (appropriate safety
valve)?-- Have the seals been fitted as described in the appendix?-- Have any additional devices been prepared and fitted as
specified in the appendix?-- Has the pump been vented as specified in section 6.3.?
6.2 Shaft SealFor commissioning the shaft seal please refer to section 8.1 /8.2. If the pump has been out of service for a prolonged period,the measures specified in section 6.6 must be carried out.
6.3 VentingBefore start--up, the pump and the pipes must be vented andfilled with the liquid to be pumped. This is done at the vent plugon the casing (903). For suction lift operation, the pump mustalso be evacuated, i.e. a vacuum must be produced.
6.4 Commissioning
6.4.1 Checking the Direction of RotationFor trouble--free operation of the pump, thecorrect direction of rotation of the impeller is of
paramount importance. If running in the wrong direction ofrotation, the pump cannot reach its duty point; vibrations andoverheating will be the consequence. The unit or the shaft sealmight be damaged.
Correct direction of rotation:The direction of rotation must correspond to the directionindicated by the arrow on the pump. This can be verified byswitching the pump on and then off again immediately.
Before checking the direction of rotationmake sure thatthere is no foreign matter in the pump casing.
Never put your hands or any other objects into the pump!
6.4.2 Start--upDry--running will result in increased wear andmust be avoided.
If a non--return valve is not fitted at the discharge--side, closethe discharge--side gate valve.If a shut--off valve is fitted in the suction line, open it fully.All additional connections for flushing or sealing liquid etc., iffitted, must be opened fully and the flow must be checked.Switch on the motor.As soon as the pump starts to deliver -- this can be recognisedby the rising gauge pressure -- slowly open the discharge--sidegate valve fully.
Thepumpmayoperate against the closedgatevalve only during start--up and shutdown, as
otherwise inadmissible temperature rise occurs resulting indamage.
6.4.3 Pump Operating RangeThe flow rate ”Q” adjusts itself automatically to the deliveryhead according to the H--Q characteristic. The pump’spermitted operating range is subject to limits, which haveseparate causes.
1. Part load operating limit for low flow rateThis limit is indicated in theH--Qcharacteristic byQmin or by thediscontinuation of the characteristic curve.
It is not permissible to operate the pump in therange fromQ=0 toQminProlonged operation in
this range causes greatly increased mechanical loads whichthe components cannot withstand. Brief passage through thecritical range is permissible, e.g. during start--up.
2. NPSH--related limits in the part load and overload rangesThese two limits are determined by the ratio of NPSHrequired toNPSHavailable. They are determined as follows:

The intersections of NPSHrequired and NPSHavailable areprojected onto the H--Q characteristic, where they indicate theoperating limits (refer to the diagram below). Checking of theNPSH--relatedoperating limit is not necessary for operating thepump under design conditions. If system--related changesoccur, an NPSH check must be carried out. If necessary,consult the nearest after--sales service centre.

NPSHrequired
6.4.4 Shut downClose the shut--off element in the discharge line. If thedischarge line is equipped with a check valve, the shut--offelement may remain open, provided there is back pressure inthe line.
The shut--off element in the suction line must not beclosed when switching off the pump. Switch off themotor, making sure that the unit runs smoothly down toa standstill.
Depending on the system the pump shall have an adequateafter--run period -- with the heat source switched off -- to allowthemediumhandled to cool down sufficiently to avoid any heatbuild--up within the pump.In the case of prolonged shutdown, the shut--off element in thesuction line has to be closed.Close the auxiliary connections.In the event of frost and / or prolonged shutdowns, the pumpmust be drained or otherwise protected against freezing.
6.5 Shutdown / Storage / PreservationEach KSB pump leaves the factory carefully assembled. Ifcommissioning is to take place some time after delivery, werecommend that the following measures be taken for pumpstorage.
6.5.1 Storage of New Pumps-- New pumps are supplied by our factory duly prepared for
storage.Maximum protection for up to 12 months, if the pump isproperly stored indoors.
-- Store the pump in a dry location.
6.5.2 Measures to be Taken for Prolonged Shutdown
1. The pump remains installed; periodic check ofoperation
In order to make sure that the pump is always ready for instantstart--up and to prevent the formation of deposits within thepumpand the pump intake area, start up the pump set regularlyonce a month or once every 3 month for a short time (approx.5 minutes) during prolonged shutdown periods. Prior to anoperation check run ensure that there is sufficient liquidavailable for operating the pump.
2. The pump is removed from the pipe and storedBefore putting the pump into storage carry out all checksspecified in sections 7.1 to 7.4. Then apply appropriatepreservatives:-- Spray--coat the inside wall of the pump casing, and in
particular the impeller clearance areas,with a preservative.Spray the preservative through the suction and dischargenozzles. It is advisable to close the nozzles (for ex. withplastic caps or similar).
3. Locking the pump rotorThe shaft assembly of the vertically installed OMEGA runs ina RESIDUR� plain bearing. To transport the pump, the pumprotor must be secured against shocks which would otherwisedamage the plain bearing.
6.6 Returning to Service after StorageBefore returning the pump to service carry out all checks andmaintenance work specified in sections 5.1 and 5.2.
In addition, the instructions laid down in section 6.1”Commissioning” and section 6.4.3 ”Operatinglimits” must be observed.
Upon completion of thework, all safety--related andprotective equipment must be properly refitted and/ or reactivated before starting the pump set.

8 Special Instructions forSubassemblies (Shaft Seal Variants)
The shaft seal variant supplied is shown in the purchase orderand order--processing documents.
8.1 Gland packingThe gland packings used by KSB are asbestos--free andsuitable for drinking water applications.
Installation and commissioningBefore installation, ensure that the gland space is clean (nopacking remnants or corrosion). The shaft protecting sleevemust be bright and have no scoring. Otherwise a new shaftprotecting sleeve must be used.
Cutting the packing rings to sizeIf moulded packing rings are not available, the rings can bestbe cut to size using a special cutting gauge. If no cutting gaugeis available, take a tube with the same diameter as the shaft,wind the packing around the tube in a spiral and cut the ringsfrom the spiral. We recommend a straight cut.
Installing the packing ringsPush the packing ringswith the stuffingbox insert into theglandspaceoneby one. The joints of the packing ringsmust be offsetby 90°. The number of rings and the arrangement of the lanternring are shown in the general drawing (see appendix). Afterfitting all the packing rings, put on the stuffing box insert andgland cover and tighten them so that the packing rings adapt tothe gland space. Then loosen the gland cover again to relievethe load on the packing. This procedure is not necessary ifmoulded packing rings are used.
CommissioningWhen the pump is started up, the gland must only be gentlytightened (by hand). A high leakage rate (approx. 50 to 200dropsperminute), dependingon the liquidbeing pumped,mustbe accepted until the packing material has settled and hasadapted to the temperature conditions (approx. 10 to 15minutes).Then the gland covermust be carefully and evenly tightened toreduce the leakage to a minimum. If there is no leakage, thereis a risk that the packing will run hot.
Also note the following:Leakage and temperature rise: If necessary, shut down thepump. After a short cooling period (approx. 10 to 15 minutes)the pump can be restarted. The necessary minimum leakagedepends on the liquid being pumped, the pressure, slidingvelocity and temperature. It is approx. 10 to 120 drops perminute (20 drops of water correspond to approx. 1 ml).
DismantlingA packing puller must be used for pulling out the packing rings.
MaintenanceGland packings must be repacked in accordance with thesection ”Installation and commissioning” after prolongedstandstill, repairworkor heavy leakage.Therefore, the leakagerate must be observed during operation, also to avoid possibleoverheating.

J SAFETY
Any person in the operator’s plantwho is involved in the installa-tion, removal, operation, commissioning and maintenance ofthe mechanical seal must have read and thoroughly under-stood these operating instructions, particularly the safety in-structions contained therein. It is advisable for the operator tohave this confirmed.
Themechanical seal is a precision product (ISO9001) and safeto operate. However, it may constitute a hazard if it is not usedin accordance with its designated use, or if operated improperlyby unskilled personnel.
The operator has to determine the consequences of any me-chanical seal failure and decide whether safety precautionsneed to be taken to protect personnel or the environment.
The pump shall be installed in such away that any fluid spurtingout cannot cause personal injury and that leakage can be pro-perly disposed of.
Any operating mode liable to impair the safe and reliable func-tion of the mechanical seal is not permitted.Mechanical seals shall only be installed, operated, removed orrepaired by authorized, qualified and appropriately instructedpersonnel.
Any work on the mechanical seal shall only be performed withthe pump shut down and the pump pressure released.Staff responsibilities for the work involved must be clearly defi-ned and complied with, to prevent unclear competencies withregard to safety aspects.
In addition to the instructions contained in this manual, the ge-neral occupational health and safety regulations must be adhe-red to.
Unauthorized modifications and alterations liable to jeopardizethe safe operation of the mechanical seal are not permitted.
J DECLARATION
within the meaning of EC Directive ”Machinery” 98/37/EC.
A mechanical seal does not function independently. It is inten-ded to be incorporated into or assembled with machinery.
J OPERATING LIMITSShaft diameter dw: 18 to 100 mmPress. to be sealed off p max.: 25 bar *)
Fluid temperature t: --40 to 220 �CSliding velocity vg: 20 m/s*) depending on the seal face materialsThe mechanical seal shall not be operated at several applica-tion limits at the same time.Higher loads (pressure, temperature, speed) may lead to in-creased wear and damage the contact faces or the elastomerelements.Such operating conditions would shorten the useful life of theseal but also entail the risk of sudden seal failure with hazardsto personnel and the environment.
J OPERATING DATAThe operating data for the application in question, such as fluidto be sealed off, operating pressure, operating temperature, ro-tational speed, etc., are indicated on the respective pump datasheets.
J DESIGNATED USEAny operation outside the operating conditions stated in the”Operating Limits” section is deemed to be non--conformingwith the designated use.To ensure safe operation of themechanical seal, check with theseal manufacturer before using the seal for other operatingconditions or in a different location of operation.
J MATERIALSMaterials as per drawing and/or order.
J DRAWINGSGeneral assembly drawing of pump.The applicable design is shown on the general pump drawingin the original scale and latest revision, see section 9 of thepump’s operating manual, which shall be used in conjunctionwith this document.
J SPECIFICATIONH Single mechanical sealH BalancedH Bi--rotationalH Connecting dimensions to DIN 24960 KBH Installation dimensions l1K
Due to their protected spring (1.5),mechanical seals of this typeare particularly suitable for fluids containing solids and/or highlyviscous fluids, for ex. in sugar, paper or waste water applica-tions. The seal design is rugged and reliable. The spring neitherclogs nor sticks. Max. axial end play between shaft and hou-sing: 0.5 mm in any direction.For operation at negative pressures (down to --0.2 bar), no seatlock is required for the seat ring (2).Torque transmission between the shaft and the seal is normallyeffected by grub screws(1.6); or by special drive elements (1.2)on individual models.
J LIQUID SUPPLY TO MECHANICALSEAL
To ensure trouble--free operation of the mechanical seal, a sui-table circulation process has been selected on the pump, seesection 9 of the pump’s operating manual. This process avoidsproduct deposits in the seal chamber.
J EMISSIONSMechanical seals are dynamic seals which for physical andtechnical reasons cannot be completely leak--free. The amountof leakage largely depends on the seal selection, production to-lerances, operating conditions, smooth running of themachine,etc. Compared with other dynamic sealing systems, however,mechanical seals have little leakage.Should the mechanical seal fail, the hot liquid or steam to besealed off may spurt out. Splash guards fitted on the machine,safety goggles worn by the operating staff, etc.may prevent ha-zards to persons. The operator/owner is responsible for thepro-per disposal of leakage, in order to prevent hazards to the envi-ronment.
Leakage may be liquid or gaseous, its aggressiveness corres-ponding to that of the fluid to be sealed off.Anymechanical seal leakagemust be drained off in a controlledway and safely disposed of.
.Components which may come into contact with the seal lea-kage shall either be corrosion resistant or must be adequatelyprotected.
J STORAGEUnless otherwise agreed in the contract, mechanical seals aredelivered in standard packaging suitable for dry transport bytruck, train or plane. The symbols or handling instructions givenon the packaging must be adhered to.For incoming goods inspection:D Check packaging for external damage.D Carefully open packaging, making sure not to damage or
lose any components packed separately.D Check consignment for completeness (delivery note). The
supplier shall be notified immediately of any damagedgoods or missing parts.
The instructions given below shall apply both to mechanicalseals delivered and stored in their undamaged, original packa-ging, and to mechanical seals already installed in a pump,which have not been in operation yet.
The mechanical seals need not be preserved.
D Do not apply anti--corrosives.' Risk of deposits and possible chemical attacks on ela-
stomer secondary seals.
When applying preservatives to entire systems where mecha-nical seals are installed please check the following:
D Verify the compatibility of the preservatives chosen with thematerials of construction and the elastomer components ofthe mechanical seal.
D Verify thatmechanical sealmovement is not restricted by re-sin deposits or sticking.
During storage, seal face materials and elastomers will un-dergo material specific time dependent changes (distortion,ageing),which can impair the perfect function of themechanicalseal. The specified storage period must therefore be compliedwith.The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage re-sulting from improper storage.The room where mechanical seals are kept must be dust--freeand moderately ventilated, with an even temperature. We re-commend: relative humidity below 65%, temperature between15 �C and 25 �C.
The mechanical seal shall be protected from:
D direct heat from sun, heatingD ozone and ultraviolet light from halogen lamps, fluorescent
lamps, sunlight, arc welding' danger of embrittlement of elastomer materials
The seals shall be stored in their original packaging on a levelsurface.
The mechanical seal needs to be checked:D after a storage period of approx. 2--3 yearsD if the packaging has been damagedD after a shock load (e.g. if the mechanical seal package has
been dropped)' at the manufacturer’s workshop or nearest service centre.
J BEFORE INSTALLATIONChecks to be carried out on the pump components:
Shaft surface in the area of the dynamically loaded seal ring:roughness depth Rmax 5 �m.
Checks to be carried out on the pump:
D Check contact surfaces between the pump and themecha-nical seal for damage.
D Connecting dimensions, squareness and concentricity toshaft.
D Shaft run--out as per DIN ISO 5199: between 50 �m and100 �m, depending on the diameter.
D Apply a thin coat of suitable grease to the shaft in themech.seal area.
' Never use mineral oil base lubricants on sealing elementsmade of ethylene propylene rubber (swelling, possibly de-composition).
' Grease recommended for elastomer sealing elements(O--rings, etc.): type ”TURMOPOLGREASE SH2”, produ-cer: Lubricant Consult (LUBCON).
' Double PTFE encapsulated O--rings must be fitted so thatthe joint of the outer sheath points in opposite direction tothe mounting direction, so that the friction force generatedwhen sliding on the O--ring closes the joint. Kinks in the foilwill result in leakage.
J INSTALLATION TOOLS / EQUIPMENTD Propyl alcohol + paper tissue (no cleaning rags)D Lubricating grease for elastomer seals: type ”TURMOPOLGREASE
SH2”, producer: Lubricant Consult (LUBCON)D Thread--locking compound, e.g. type ”LoctiteR Nr. 243”,

stallationD Manual screw press (compulsory from DN 80 mm).
J INSTALLATIONRefer to the general pump assembly drawing when installingthe mechanical seal.Mechanical seals are precision--machined machinery compo-nents which have been inspected several times. They must beinstalled with due care and in compliance with certain procedu-res, particularly regarding the contact faces and elastomerseals.Utmost cleanliness must be ensured in the immediate vicinityof the location where a mechanical seal is to be installed.Never use force when installing a mechanical seal.D Unpack the seal and inspect the spring--loaded ring, seat
ring, O--rings and contact faces for damage.' Never place the spring--loaded ring and the seat ring on
the table facing down without protecting the contact fa-ces.
D Thoroughly clean all parts with alcohol and paper tissue.The sequence of operations required to install the mechanicalseal in the machine depends on the design of the machine inquestion, which is described in the pump’s operating manual.
Unless otherwise stated, apply a very thin coat of grease toO--rings which will slide into or onto other components duringmechanical seal installation.
Possible installation sequence:D Slide the degreased O--ring onto the seat ring.D Cover the contact face of the seat ring with a cardboard
washer. Generously lubricate the seat ring with water or al-cohol and press it slowly and evenly into its seat.Use a spa-cer, if necessary. Check squareness of seat ring to the shaftaxis.
D Apply a thin coat of grease to the shaft protecting sleeve inthe mechanical seal area.' Never use mineral oil base lubricants on sealing ele-
ments made of ethylene propylene rubber (swelling,possibly decomposition).
D Slide the rotating seal assembly with greased O--rings ontothe shaft protecting sleeve.
D Fit the degreased grub screws, having applied one drop ofthread--locking compound (e.g. Loctite R No. 243) to eachscrew.

J COMMISSIONINGPrime the pump and the seal chamber with the fluid handledand vent thoroughly. The seal is now ready for operation.
J SAFE OPERATIONFor single mechanical seals, the pressure in the seal chamberof the pump must always exceed ambient pressure, to preventany air intake at the seal faces,whichwould result in dry runningand thus failure of the mechanical seal.In all operating conditions, the product to be sealed off must beavailable in liquid state at the mechanical seal, particularly du-ring pump start--up and shutdown.If the operating conditions indicated are observed and the in-structions given in this operating manual are complied with, themechanical seal can be expected to give trouble--free opera-tion.
J HEALTH AND SAFETYMechanical seals are often used for sealing off hazardous sub-stances (chemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc.). The applicable in-structions and regulations for handling hazardous materialsmust absolutely be adhered to.
Should the mechanical seal fail, the hot liquid or steam to besealed off may spurt out. Splash guards fitted on the machine,safety goggles worn by the operating staff, etc.may prevent ha-zards to persons. The operator/owner is responsible for thepro-per disposal of leakage, in order to prevent hazards to the envi-ronment..
J FAULTS/MALFUNCTIONSDetermine and document the nature of the fault/malfunction.In the event of a fault as evidenced by excessive leakage, ob-serve the tendency of the leakage amount. Changes in opera-ting conditions must be documented. If an excessive tempera-ture rise is detected, themechanical sealmust be shut down forsafety reasons.A continuous flowof leakage indicates a fault/malfunction at themechanical seal.During thewarranty period themechanical seal shall only be re-moved and dismantled with the manufacturer’s approval or inthe presence of his representative.If the fault/malfunction cannot be remedied by the operator orif the cause is unclear, please contact your responsible KSBservice centre.
J SERVICING / MAINTENANCEMechanical seals operated in compliance with manual aremaintenance--free.

8.2.4 Mechanical Seal -- ”Type H75N”(Shaft unit dw = 90 mm)
General instructions concerning assembly/installation, com-missioning, maintenance, faults and repair have already beengiven in sections 8.2.1 and 8.2.2.(For detailed information please refer to operating manual forseal type H75N).
PLEASE READ this manual carefully and OBSERVE the information contained as to:H Safety H Storage H Installation H Start up H Maintenance H Repair
J SAFETY
Any person in the operator’s plantwho is involved in the installa-tion, removal, operation, commissioning and maintenance ofthe mechanical seal must have read and thoroughly under-stood these operating instructions, particularly the safety in-structions contained therein. It is advisable for the operator tohave this confirmed.
Themechanical seal is a precision product (ISO9001) and safeto operate. However, they may constitute a hazard if they arenot used in accordancewith their designated use, or if operatedimproperly by unskilled personnel.
The operator has to determine the consequences of any me-chanical seal failure and decide whether safety precautionsneed to be taken to protect personnel or the environment.
The pump shall be installed in such away that any fluid spurtingout cannot cause personal injury and that leakage can be pro-perly disposed of.
Any operating mode liable to impair the safe and reliable func-tion of the mechanical seal is not permitted.
Mechanical seals shall only be installed, operated, removed orrepaired by authorized, qualified and appropriately instructedpersonnel.
Any work on the mechanical seal shall only be performed withthe pump shut down and the pump pressure released.
Staff responsibilities for the work involved must be clearly defi-ned and complied with, to prevent unclear competencies withregard to safety aspects..
In addition to the instructions contained in this manual, the ge-neral occupational health and safety regulations must be adhe-red to.
Unauthorized modifications and alterations liable to jeopardizethe safe operation of the mechanical seal are not permitted.
J DECLARATION
within the meaning of EC Directive ”Machinery” 98/37/EC.
A mechanical seal does not function independently. It is inten-ded to be incorporated into or assembled with machinery.
J OPERATING LIMITSShaft diameter dw: 28 to 100 mmPress. to be sealed off p max.: 40 bar *)Fluid temperature t: --40 to 220 �CSliding velocity vg: 20 m/s*) depending on the seal face materialsThe mechanical seal shall not be operated at several applica-tion limits at the same time.Higher loads (pressure, temperature, speed) may lead to in-creased wear and damage the contact faces or the elastomerelements.Such operating conditions would shorten the useful life of theseal but also entail the risk of sudden seal failure with hazardsto personnel and the environment.
J SPECIFICATIONThe operating data for the application in question, such as fluidto be sealed off, operating pressure, operating temperature, ro-tational speed, etc., are indicated on the respective pump datasheets.
J DESIGNATED USEAny operation outside the operating conditions stated in the”Operating Limits” section is deemed to be non--conformingwith the designated use.To ensure safe operation of themechanical seal, check with theseal manufacturer before using the seal for other operatingconditions or in a different location of operation.
J MATERIALSMaterials as per drawing and/or order.

J LIQUID SUPPLY TO MECHANICALSEAL
To ensure trouble--free operation of the mechanical seal, a sui-table circulation process has been selected on the pump, seesection 9 of the pump’s operating manual. This process avoidsproduct deposits in the seal chamber.
J EMISSIONS
Mechanical seals are dynamic seals which for physical andtechnical reasons cannot be completely leak--free. The amountof leakage largely depends on the seal selection, production to-lerances, operating conditions, smooth running of themachine,etc. Compared with other dynamic sealing systems, however,mechanical seals have little leakage.
Leakage may be liquid or gaseous, its aggressiveness corres-ponding to that of the fluid to be sealed off.
Anymechanical seal leakagemust be drained off in a controlledway and safely disposed of.
.Components which may come into contact with the seal lea-kage shall either be corrosion resistant or must be adequatelyprotected.
J STORAGE
Unless otherwise agreed in the contract, mechanical seals aredelivered in standard packaging suitable for dry transport bytruck, train or plane. The symbols or handling instructions givenon the packaging must be adhered to.
For incoming goods inspection:
D Check packaging for external damage.D Carefully open packaging, making sure not to damage or
lose any components packed separately.D Check consignment for completeness (delivery note). The
supplier shall be notified immediately of any damagedgoods or missing parts.
The instructions given below shall apply both to mechanicalseals delivered and stored in their undamaged, original packa-ging, and to mechanical seals already installed in a pump,which have not been in operation yet.
The mechanical seals need not be preserved.D Do not apply anti--corrosives.
' Risk of deposits and possibly chemical attack of the ela-stomer secondary sealing elements.
When applying preservatives to entire systems where mecha-nical seals are installed please check the following:D Verify the compatibility of the preservatives chosen with the
materials of construction and the elastomer components ofthe mechanical seal.
D Verify thatmechanical sealmovement is not restricted by re-sin deposits or sticking.
During storage, seal face materials and elastomers will un-dergo material specific time dependent changes (distortion,ageing),which can impair the perfect function of themechanicalseal. The specified storage period must therefore be compliedwith.The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage re-sulting from improper storage.The room where mechanical seals are kept must be dust--freeand moderately ventilated, with an even temperature. We re-commend: relative humidity below 65%, temperature between15 �C and 25 �C.
The mechanical seal shall be protected from:D direct heat from sun, heatingD ozone and ultraviolet light from halogen lamps, fluorescent
lamps, sunlight, arc welding' danger of embrittlement of elastomer materials.The seals shall be stored in their original packaging on a levelsurface.
The mechanical seal needs to be checked:D after a storage period of approx. 2--3 yearsD if the packaging has been damagedD after a shock load (e.g. if the mechanical seal package has
been dropped)' at the manufacturer’s workshop or nearest service centre.
J BEFORE INSTALLATIONChecks to be carried out on the pump components:Shaft surface in the area of the dynamically loaded seal ring:roughness depth Rmax 5 �m.Checks to be carried out on the pump:D Check contact surfaces between the pump and themecha-
nical seal for damage.D Connecting dimensions, squareness and concentricity to
shaftD Shaft run--out as per DIN ISO 5199: between 50 �m and
100 �m, depending on the diameter.D Apply a thin coat of a suitable grease to the shaft in the
mech. seal area.' Never use mineral oil base lubricants on sealing elements
made of ethylene propylene rubber (swelling, possibly de-composition).
' Grease recommended for elastomer sealing elements(O--rings, etc.): type ”TURMOPOLGREASE SH2”, produ-cer: Lubricant Consult (LUBCON).
' Double PTFE encapsulated O--rings must be fitted so thatthe joint of the outer sheath points in opposite direction tothe mounting direction, so that the friction force generatedwhen sliding on the O--ring closes the joint. Kinks in the foilwill result in leakage.
J INSTALLATION TOOLS / EQUIPMENTD Propyl alcohol + paper tissue (no cleaning rags)D lubricant for elastomer--sealing rings: Type ”TURMOPOL-
D Thread--locking compound, e.g. type ”LoctiteR Nr. 243”,producer: Loctite Corporation
D O--ring extractorD Set of hex. keys (WAF 2 mm -- 6 mm)D Cardboard washers to protect the contact faces during in-
stallationD Manual screw press (compulsory from DN 80 mm)
J INSTALLATIONRefer to the general pump assembly drawing when installingthe mechanical seal.
Mechanical seals are precision--machined machinery compo-nents which have been inspected several times. They must beinstalled with due care and in compliance with certain procedu-res, particularly regarding the contact faces and elastomerseals.Utmost cleanliness must be ensured in the immediate vicinityof the location where a mechanical seal is to be installed.Never use force when installing a mechanical seal.Unpack the seal and inspect the spring--loaded ring, seat ring,O--rings and contact faces for damage.D Never place the spring--loaded ring and the seat ring on the
table facing down without protecting the contact faces.D Thoroughly clean all parts with alcohol and paper tissue.
The sequence of operations required to install the mechanicalseal in the machine depends on the design of the machine inquestion, which is described in the pump’s operating manual.
Unless otherwise stated, apply a very thin coat of grease toO--rings which will slide into or onto other components duringmechanical seal installation.
Fig. 1: General mech. seal design
Primary seal components1.1 Spring--loaded ring2 Seat ring
Secondary seal elements1.4 O--ring (dynamic)3 O--ring (static)
Possible installation sequence:D Slide the degreased O--ring onto the seat ring.D Cover the contact face of the seat ring with a cardboard
washer. Generously lubricate the seat ring with water or al-cohol and press it slowly and evenly into its seat.Use a spa-cer, if necessary. Check squareness of seat ring to the shaftaxis.
D Apply a thin coat of grease to the shaft protecting sleeve inthe mechanical seal area.' Never use mineral oil base lubricants on sealing ele-
ments made of ethylene propylene rubber (swelling,possibly decomposition).
D Slide the rotating seal assembly with greased O--rings ontothe shaft protecting sleeve.
D Fit the degreased grub screws, having applied one drop ofthread--locking compound (e.g. Loctite R No. 243) to eachscrew.
D Tighten the grub screws to lock the torque--transmittingsleeve in place.
D Clean the contact faceswith propyl alcoholand paper tissue(no cloth, no cleaning rags!) to remove any smears. Donot touch the contact faces with bare fingers after that.' Donot apply lubricants to the contact faces. The contact
faces must be installed in clean and dry condition.D Fit the seal cover with pre--assembled seat ring.

Coupling (N--EUPEX)(Flexible couplings N--EUPEX and N--EUPEX--DS, types Aand ADS)-- N--EUPEX couplings provide radial, angular, axial and
torsional flexibility. They are positive--locking.-- Torque is transmitted by flexible coupling elements
(flexibles).-- The non--linear spring characteristic and the favourable
damping properties of the N--EUPEX coupling effectivelycounteract any dangerous increase in vibrations.
General instructions and safety notesWhen fitting and removing N--EUPEX couplings please notethe following requirements:
D The coupling shall only be operated,serviced or repaired by authorized,skilled and duly qualified staff.
D The coupling shall only be used andoperated within the conditionsstipulated in the technical specificationand supply contract.
D Unauthorized modification and removalofprotectiveequipment is notpermitted.
D Any work on the coupling shall only beperformed with the machine shut down.The driver must be secured againstinadvertent start--up (e.g. by locking thekey--operated switch or removing thepower supply fuses). At the switch--onpoint a notice shall be affixed to theeffect that work is being performed onthe coupling.
D Immediately switch off the driver whenchanges in coupling behaviour occur,such as changed running noises.
D The couplingmust be suitably protectedagainst accidental contact.
Installation-- Design of types A / ADSThe N--EUPEX coupling types A / ADS consist of a couplingpart 1 which houses the flexible coupling blocks (12), the fingerpart 3 and the coupling part 2, which bolts onto part 3.The bolted connection between part 2 and part 3 makes itpossible to separate the coupled machines without axialdisplacement (if clearance P is observed).

-- Mounting the coupling componentsBefore fitting thecouplingcomponents, carefullyclean theshaftends and the coupling parts. Make sure to remove the flexiblecoupling blocks before cleaning the coupling parts with asolvent.
Heed the manufacturer’s instructions for the use ofsolvents.
Use appropriate tools when pulling on thecoupling parts, to prevent damage to the shaftbearings due to the axial joining force.
Make sure to use suitable lifting tackle.The shaft ends must not protrude from the hub faces. Thecoupling is locked in axial direction by means of the set screwor end plate, as applicable / set screw and end plate,respectively.
The set screws shall only be tightened bymeans of a hexagon socket headwrench toDIN 911, without extension.
Non--compliancewith these instructionsmaycausethe coupling to burst. Danger of life by flyingfragments!

Heating up the coupling parts (to max. +150 °C) may facilitatepulling on the coupling parts. If temperatures exceed +80 °C,the flexible coupling blocksmust be removed from the couplingparts before the heating process.
Protect against burns from contact with hotcomponents!
If the coupling blocks have been removed, they shall bere--installed after the coupling parts have beenpulled on.Makesure the heated coupling parts have cooled down to under 80°Cbeforedoingso.All couplingblocksusedmustbeof identicalsize and marking.Push the machines to be coupled together.
Take appropriate precautions to prevent injury bycrushing.
Make sure to observe dimension S1. On types A and ADS, theconnection between parts 2 and 3 shall be re--establishedbefore aligning the coupling, and the tightening torque of thescrewed connection between parts 2 and 3 shall be checked(for tightening torques and clearance S1 please refer to point6.6).Aligning the coupling(Also refer to section 5.3.2).The couplings will only tolerate misalignment of the shaft endsto be coupled to a certain extent.When aligning the coupling, the radial and angularmisalignment of the shaft ends should therefore beminimized.With identical operating conditions, the useful life of the flexiblecoupling blocks will be increased as a result.Coupling alignment shall be effected in two planes which arenormal to each other. Use a straight--edge (radialmisalignment) and feeler gauge (angular misalignment) asshown below to verify.
Straight edge
Feeler gauge
Using a dial micrometer will make for increased measuringaccuracy.To allow one shaft end to rotate freely, the driving section canbe separated on types A and ADS by loosening the screwedconnection between parts 2 and 3 and pulling part 3 out of therecesses in part 1.
After the connection has been re--established,check the tightening torque of the bolts.

Commissioning the couplingMeasures to be taken prior to commissioningBefore commissioning the coupling check the properinstallation of the flexible coupling elements, i.e.make sure theflexibles are flush with the hub face, and check whether the setscrews are properly tightened. Also verify coupling alignmentand clearance S1 and correct, if necessary. Check whether allscrewed connections have been tightening with the tighteningtorques specified. Finally, fit the coupling guard againstaccidental contact
If any irregularities occur during operation,switch off the driver immediately and refer to
the trouble--shooting table to determine the cause.
The trouble--shooting table lists possible faults, causes andsuggested remedies.

Trouble--shootingGeneralThe faults listed below shall serve as orientation only whendetermining failure causes.In a complex plant system, all other components will have to beincluded in the search for possible failure causes.The coupling shall give low--noise and vibration--free operationin all phases of operation. Any other operating behaviour shallbe considered a fault which must be remedied immediately.
Trouble--shooting list
Before commencing any maintenance, repair orother work on the coupling, the operator must shut
down the entire driving mechanism. The drivers, inparticular, must be secured against inadvertent start--up
Also, the accident prevention regulations in force at theinstallation site shall be complied with.

Maintenance and repairGeneralThe torsional play between the two coupling parts shall bechecked in acc.with themaintenance schedule of the plant, butat least once a year.If torsional play must not be limited for extremely smoothcoupling operation, the plastic flexibles can be allowed to weardown to approx. ¼ of their original thickness before they haveto be replaced. To assess the wear condition of the couplingblocks, the table below indicates the permissible torsional playas indicated by the chord dimension �SV on the outsidecoupling diameter.
To determine the chord dimension�SV, rotate one coupling partby hand up to the stop and mark the coupling parts (seeillustration). Hand--rotate one coupling part into the oppositedirection up to the stop. The two marks will diverge. Thedistance between the marks is the chord dimension �SV. If �SVexceeds the value given in the table, the flexible couplingblocks have to be replaced.
Coupling blocks shall always be replacedby complete sets of new coupling blocks;only use coupling blocks with identicalidentification numbers.
Replacing wear partsUse only genuine N--EUPEX flexible blocks as spare parts, toensure correct torque transmissionand trouble--freeoperation.Please note:On typesAandADS, the flexibles canbe replacedwithout axialdisplacement of the coupled machines
After the screwed connection between parts 2 and 3 has beenundone, part 3 can be shifted in axial direction. By rotating part3, the flexible coupling blocksare freely accessible. To facilitateaxial displacement, sizes 225--430 are provided with forcingthreads in part 1. Fromsize 440, the forcing threads are locatedin part 3 (see illustrations).
For reassembly carefully follow the instructions in the sectionson ”Installation” and ”Commissioning”.

Shaft seal -- mechanical seals -- Type Crane 58U and 58BDescriptionThe mechanical seals, 58U and 58B, are precision--made andmust be treated accordingly. The contact faces are lapped toa high degree of accuracy and prior to despatch they arecovered in a protective sleeve to prevent damage. If theprotective sleeve is removed for installation purposes, thengreat care must be taken to avoid any damage to the finelyfinished, lapped surfaces.Whenever replacing worn out or damaged mechanical seals,the section of the shaft or sleeve whichwill accept the new sealmust be cleaned and oiled.
Preparation for installation1. The installation dimensions and tolerances must comply
with those outlined in the relevant literature.2. The cover which will accept the seat ring must be checked
with regard to depth and installation dimensions.

1. The rotating face (574 / 578) is pushed down and the snapring (096) is removed from the groove using a pointed tool.
2. Now remove in the following sequence: the rotating face(574 / 578), the O--ring (123), the thrust ring (583) and thesprings (582 / 092).
Assembly is carried out in reverse sequence.The following must be noted during assembly:The drive cams in the retainer (780) must engage into thegrooves of the thrust ring (583) or the rotating face (574 / 578).Fit the snap ring (096) into the groove of the retainer (780),leavingoneendof thesnap ringprotrudingbyapprox6 -- 12mmto the side of the drilled hole
At the outer circumference of the retainer (780) there are 2marker grooves. The lower one runs precisely through thecentre of the drilled hole for the internal socket head screws,which indicates that the thread of the screws is metric.The upper groove assists during installation. If the initialtension of themechanical seal is set correctly to the installationlength, then the thrust ring shall be in alignment (be flush) withthis groove.
