Special seals may require different auxiliary piping to
that described above. Consult separate User
Instructions and or Flowserve if unsure of correct
method or arrangement.
For pumping hot liquids, to avoid seal damage, it is
recommended that any external flush/cooling supply
be continued after stopping the pump.
4.5.6 Final checks
Check the tightness of all bolts in the suction and
discharge pipework. Check also the tightness of all
foundation bolts.
4.6 Final shaft alignment check
After connecting piping to the pump, rotate the shaft
several times by hand to ensure there is no binding
and all parts are free.
Recheck the coupling alignment, as previously
described, to ensure no pipe strain. If pipe strain
exists, correct piping.
4.7 Electrical connections
Electrical connections must be made
by a qualified Electrician in accordance with relevant
local, national and international regulations.
It is important to be aware of the EUROPEAN
DIRECTIVE on potentially explosive areas where
compliance with IEC60079-14 is an additional
requirement for making electrical connections.
It is important to be aware of the EUROPEAN
DIRECTIVE on electromagnetic compatibility when
wiring up and installing equipment on site. Attention
must be paid to ensure that the techniques used during
wiring/installation do not increase electromagnetic
emissions or decrease the electromagnetic immunity of
the equipment, wiring or any connected devices. If in
any doubt contact Flowserve for advice.
The motor must be wired up in
accordance with the motor manufacturer's instructions
(normally supplied within the terminal box) including
any temperature, earth leakage, current and other
protective devices as appropriate. The identification
nameplate should be checked to ensure the power
supply is appropriate.
A device to provide emergency stopping must
be fitted.
If not supplied pre-wired to the pump unit, the
controller/starter electrical details will also be supplied
within the controller/starter.
For electrical details on pump sets with controllers
see the separate wiring diagram.
See section 5.3, Direction of rotation
before connecting the motor to the electrical supply.
4.8 Protection systems
The following protection systems are
recommended particularly if the pump is installed in a
potentially explosive area or is handling a hazardous
liquid. If in doubt consult Flowserve.
If there is any possibility of the system allowing the
pump to run against a closed valve or below
minimum continuous safe flow a protection device
should be installed to ensure the temperature of the
liquid does not rise to an unsafe level.
If there are any circumstances in which the system
can allow the pump to run dry, or start up empty, a
power monitor should be fitted to stop the pump or
prevent it from being started. This is particularly
relevant if the pump is handling a flammable liquid.
If leakage of product from the pump or its associated
sealing system can cause a hazard it is
recommended that an appropriate leakage detection
system is installed.
To prevent excessive surface temperatures at
bearings it is recommended that temperature or
vibration monitoring are carried out. See sections
5.7.4 and 5.7.5.
5 COMMISSIONING, START-UP,
OPERATION AND SHUTDOWN
These operations must be carried
out by fully qualified personnel.
5.1 Pre-commissioning procedure
Pumps and electric motors are supplied pre-greased.
Other drivers and gearboxes, if appropriate, should
be lubricated in accordance with their manuals.
