All the auxiliary systems must be in use while the pump is operating.
Water must drop from the glands of stuffing boxes (20-30 drops per
minute)
Gland nuts must not be tightened too much. If the amount of water
increases after a long operation time, the nuts may be tightened by 1/6
turns.
If the pump has mechanical sealing, there is no need for excessive
maintenance. Water leakage from the mechanical sealing indicates the
fact that the sealing is worn out and therefore needs to be replaced.
If the system consists of a substitute pump, keep it ready by operating it
once a week. Check also the auxiliary systems of the substitute pump.
Check the elastic components of the coupling. Replace them when
necessary.
Occuring explosive ambient inside of the pump must be prevent. The air
of the pump and suction line must be drained before commissioning of
the pump. The interior of the pump contacting with pumped liquid
including gasket way and auxiliary systems must be filled with pumped
liquid.
Ensure that delivery pressure is enough.
Exceeded the allowable using limits regarding pressure,
temperature, transportating material and motor speed may
cause explosion risk, hot and poison liquid may leak to
external environment.
Do not operate the pump at values above pressure, temperature or
motor speed values specified by manufacturer, never use improper
liquids with the pump.
8.1.1. Component Check
CAUTION
To make possible the visual control, one must be able to reach the pump
from any direction. Especially, to be able to dismount the internal units of
the pump and the engine, sufficient free space must be created around
them for maintenance and repair. Furthermore, one must make sure that
the piping system can easily be dismounted.
8.1.2. Bearing and Lubrication
At the bottom of the pump there is journal bearing which carries the
radial loads. There is no bearing on pumps. Motor bearings carry the
axial loads.
8.1.3. Mechanical Seal
Mechanical Seals are absolutely leak-proof and needs less maintenance
than soft packing.
Mechanical seal;
1. Provides leak proof operation in heavy operating conditions (in
waste water pumps, chemical process and refinery pumps).
2. Easily mountable and needs less maintenance.
3. Does not cause wearing on the shaft
4. Sealing operation does not depend on the quality of shaft
finishing.
8.1.4. Coupling
In KMU-V-type pumps are used rigid coupling.
8.1.5. Drive
Apply to the operating instructions of the motor manufacturer.
8.1.6. Auxiliary Components
Check regularly the fittings and the gaskets, replace the worn out pieces.
8.2. Maintenance Instructions in ATEX Version Pumps
Consider the local safety instructions and ATEX version pump
label specifications.
During
maintenance
or
repair
by
taking
sparking
into
consideration, maintain or repair in environments where there is
no a possibility of ignition.
As a result of maintaining deficiently and / or faultily the pump
may be damaged and explosion risk may occur. Maintain the
pump or the pump unit regularly.
Carry out maintenance the shaft sealing components properly and
regularly. Hot or toxic pumped liquid may leak from the sealing
components not maintained regularly. In this case, the damage to
the pump, fire and explosion hazards are the likely consequences.
Fire or explosion hazards may occur as a result of overheating in
bearing housings or faulty bearing housing gaskets. Because of
that, check the level of lubrication element and periods of
lubrication regularly. Check the sounds come from the bearings
during the running regularly.
8.3. Service
Our Customer Service Department offers after-sale service. Manager
should
employ
authorized
and
trained
personnel
for
mounting/dismounting procedures. Before these procedures, one must
make sure that pump interior is clean and empty.
This criterion is also valid for the pumps which are sent to our factory or to
our service points.
Maintain the safety of the personnel and the environment in every
field procedure.
8.4. Spare Parts
