PROMPTLY.

Preservation and Storage

2.0 Location

Vertical units are shipped completely assembled, except level controls, coupling inserts and suction screen (S300-A only).

Check all bolts and nuts on entire unit to make sure they are securely tightened. Install level controls and suction screen per manufacturer’s during covered storage at the jobsite, and for the short period between installation and start-up. If the pump is to be idle and exposed to the elements for an extended period, either before or after installation, special precautions are required.

One approach is to provide special preservatives and wrapping before shipment. However, after installation, the protective wrappings will have been removed. Therefore, application of preservatives after installation is considered a good practice.

The driver, coupling, and seal manufacturers should be contacted for their recommendations on preservations and protection procedures.

SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION

Preparation for Installation

♦ There should be 4 to 6” from the bottom of the pump to the bottom of the pit.

♦ Lower assembled pump carefully into pit.

Guide unit carefully so that it does not strike the sides of the pit.

♦ When the coverplate is supported on the pit, level the coverplate. Shim under coverplate when necessary to level the unit. Pump must hang straight down to avoid placing a bending stress on the unit. Bolt coverplate to the supports on the pit. recommendations.

2.1 Installation of Unit in Pit

♦ Installation must be done with care to avoid damage and to ensure proper operation.

♦ Check clearance between the unit and pit.

There must be at least ½” clearance between the sides of the pumping unit and any portion of the pit.

An upper stuffing box is available as an option when it is desirable to seal vapors, fumes, etc., in the sump or tank.

A) Packing – Upper Stuffing Box

Packing rings are supplied and special care must be used during installation. To pack the stuffing box, install the packing and lantern ring in the proper sequences, 3 rings, lantern ring, 2 rings, and gland. Firmly seat each ring.

Stagger joint in each 90

°. Make sure center of

-2-

lantern ring lines up flush, tap in the stuffing box.

Since the upper stuffing box seals vapors only, there is no leakage at the gland.

Standard lubrication is by a grease fitting.

Approximately 5 shots per 100 hours is adequate.

Sealing liquid may be supplied through a line from the discharge pipe if the pump fluid is clean. If it is abrasive, an outside source of clean liquid should be used. After the packing has been completely run in, at least

40 to 60 drops per minute should be allowed to trickle from the stuffing box at all times with a clean liquid flush.

B) Mechanical Seals

When the mechanical seals are furnished, they are installed and adjusted at the factory. To properly prepare the seal for operation, lubrication or flush lines must be connected. Standard lubrication is an oil reservoir – gravity fed directly to the seal face. Seal flush is also provided and is shipped completely assembled. Separate seal manufacturer’s installation drawings are attached to the pump and should be filed for future use in maintaining the seal and in adjusting the seal when the pump is disassembled.

C) Rotary Vapour Seal

If your pump is equipped with a Rotary

Vapour Seal, the constant level oil must be installed and the resevoir must be filled with oil. Refer to Section 5.5 “Rotary Vapour

Seal – Step #7”

2.3 Installation of Motor – Fig. 1.0

If the motor is shipped from Eagle’s shop, both the coupling halves will be assembled on shafts in their correct positions. If the motor is shipped separately or furnished by the customer, the motor coupling half must be fitted on the motor shaft prior to installing the motor.

Place motor on motor support (240) and tighten bolts snugly.

FIGURE 1.

Adjustment

Impeller clearance is adjusted at the factory, but should always be re-adjusted prior to pump operation. Clearance between impeller and the casing should be checked using the procedure in

Section 5.1, Adjusting Impeller Clearance.

Check

Before the coupling is connected, the motor should be wired and the direction of rotation checked. A rotation arrow is located on the motor support. Serious damage can result if the pump is run in the wrong direction. Standard rotation for the S300/S310 Series Pump is CW as viewed from the driver. Once the motor rotation is checked, connect the coupling, following the manufacturer’s instructions. If a coupling guard is furnished with the unit, ensure that it is securely fastened in place.

2.6 Connection of Flexible Coupling

Connect coupling; follow the instructions in the provided box for the particular make of coupling used. This data is supplied separately, giving complete instructions for the connection, lubrication, alignment and maintenance.

Pump should never be operated without the coupling guard correctly installed.

-3-

2.7 Piping

Guidelines for piping are given in the “Hydraulic

Institute Standards” and should be reviewed prior to pump installation. All piping should be supported independently of, and line up naturally with, the pump flanges.

NEVER DRAW PIPING INTO PLACE BY USE

OF FORCE AT THE FLANGED

CONNECTIONS OF THE PUMP.

Discharge piping should be short and as direct as possible to minimize friction losses.

Foundation, pump and driver hold-down bolts should be tightened prior to connecting discharge piping to the pump.

B) Metallic Bearings

Both cast iron and bronze steady bearings are available and must be grease lubricated. Lack of lubrication can lead to galling and eventual seizing. It becomes extremely difficult to keep enough grease in the housing when handling hot liquids, caustic solutions or solvents.

Unless an adequate maintenance program exists, it is recommended that a selflubricating bearing such as a carbon be used in place of the metallic bearing.

C) Lubrication

The type of grease to be used is Shell Alvania

E.P.I. Lowtherm or equal.

2.8 Level

! WARNING

Consult the manufacturer’s recommendation regarding the installation, maintenance and operation of float switches and/or level controls.

Improper installation and/or operation could cause the pump to run dry, resulting in serious damage to your pump.

3.0 Bearings

SECTION 3 - OPERATION

Thrust Bearing

3.1 Motor Bearing and Coupling

Check to be sure the motor bearings and coupling

Ball bearings are standard on all S300 Series

Pumps and are lubricated at the factory. Do not grease at too frequent intervals. Approximately

10 shots every 100 hours is adequate. The type of grease to be used is Shell Alvania E.P.I. or equal.

Steady Bearings

A) Carbon Bearings

These bearings are chemically inert in most liquids and can be used in liquids up to the temperature limits of the pump.

The carbon bearing is sealed within the housing by two lip seals and filled with grease by a pressure lubricator located above the support plate. The pressure cup must be kept full of grease. are properly lubricated. Refer to the manufacturers recommendations.

3.2 Priming

Before starting up the pump, check the impeller centerline submergence. The pump must be full of liquid with specified submergence head above the centerline of the impeller.

DO NOT run the pump dry, as this might damage the pump parts or steady bearings.

Before the pump is started, the flushing flow should be started (when furnished).

3.4 Check for Free Turning

Before the pump is started, rotate the pump by hand to make sure it turns freely, and does not rub or bind. Packing and/or mechanical seal, if supplied, could interfere with free turning.

-4-

3.5 Operating at Reduced Flows

A centrifugal pump should never be operated continuously near shut-off or zero capacity, or with the discharge valve closed. To do so may shorten the life of the pump and greatly increase down time and maintenance.

Operation with the discharge valve closed will cause a temperature increase in the liquid within the casing. If this condition exists over a long period, the temperature of the liquid may increase until the boiling point is reached. If this occurs, the rotating parts are exposed to vapor and may score or seize to stationary parts.

Hydraulic radial thrust is unbalanced when the pump is operating near shut-off and this subjects the shaft to abnormal deflection and accelerated lower steady bearing wear. The pump will be noisy, will vibrate excessively and may result in shaft breakage.

A simple method of relieving the pump of undue strain is to extend a by-pass line from the pump discharge line back to the sump or tank. A throttle valve or an orifice plate should be placed by the bypass line and sufficient flow returned to allow the pump to operate at a capacity reasonably near its rating. The by-passed liquid should always be returned to the source of supply and discharged below the liquid level to avoid air entrapment.

3.6 Operating at Reduced Heads

When the discharge head or pressure is dropped considerably below the rated point for any length of time, the motor should be watched for overloading. If this condition is likely to persist, arrangements should be made either to manually or automatically throttle the discharge valve to build up head to a safe point.

3.7 Operating with Surge

Conditions

If the pump is installed with a quick closing valve in the discharge line that closed when the pump is running, dangerous pressure surges may be built up that can cause damage to the pump or line. In services of this kind, some cushioning arrangement must be provided to protect the pumping equipment.

When exposed to freezing conditions and the pump is standing idle, special precautions should be taken to prevent freezing and pump damage.

Flush lines should also be properly protected form freezing.

Frequently Answers and Questions

How do I prime the pump?
Before starting up the pump, check the impeller centerline submergence. The pump must be full of liquid with specified submergence head above the centerline of the impeller. DO NOT run the pump dry, as this might damage the pump parts or steady bearings.
How often should I lubricate the bearings?
The type of grease to be used is Shell Alvania E.P.I. Lowtherm or equal. For thrust bearings, approximately 10 shots every 100 hours is adequate. For steady bearings, it is recommended that a self-lubricating bearing such as a carbon be used in place of the metallic bearing. For motor bearings and coupling, follow the manufacturers recommendations.
How do I adjust the impeller clearance?
If a gradual loss in head and/or capacity occurs, performance can be restored by adjusting the impeller. Loosen adjustment bolts and jam nuts. Tighten shell bolts while rotating the shaft until the impeller lightly contacts the suction cover. Loosen bolts until the following clearances are reached between the underside of the bolt head and the bearing shell. S300 pumps – 0.015” plus 0.004” per intermediate bearing and packing. S310 pumps – 0.005” plus 0.004” per intermediate bearing and packing.
What should I do if the pump is not delivering enough liquid?
Check the following: Speed too low. Discharge head too high. Impeller, suction pipe or strainer completely plugged. Wrong direction of rotation. Air pocket in the suction line. Not enough suction head for hot or volatile liquids. Check carefully as this is a frequent cause of trouble on such service.
What should I do if the pump is making noise?
Check the following: Shaft bent. Rotating parts bind, are loose or broken. Bearing sworn out. Pump and driving unit misaligned. Impeller burring on suction cover or casing. When connected to electric motors, check whether motor wiring is correct and receives full voltage.
