3 Preparation for Operation
3.1 Pump bearings
The pump bearings are flood oil lubricated, and are not lubricated at the factory.
A high quality turbine type oil, with rust and oxidation inhibitors, should be used. For the great majority of
operating conditions, oil temperature will run between 50 and 180°F. In this range an oil of 300 SSU vis-
cosity at 100°F. (approximately SAE 20) should be used. If oil temperature exceeds 180°F. for extended
periods, use of cooling water as outlined in Section Installation and connection of bearing cooling water
piping and/or use of a special high temperature oil should be considered. For extreme conditions, refer to
factory or a lubrication expert for a recommendation.
The constant level oilers are in the box of fittings which accompany the pump. Oiler manufacturer's in-
structions accompany the oiler. Set as illustrated below. Install the constant level oilers in the bearing end
cover at each end of the pump. Do not install the oiler in the openings for the optional cooling coils,
which are directly below the oiler. See,
5.3 Operating at reduced head on page 28
.
Figure 8: Oiler
Fill the oiler bottle with oil, and replace in the oiler. The housing is filled when an oil level remains in the
oiler bottle. More than one filling of the bottle may be required. Never fill the housing through the oiler
without use of the bottle.
3.2 Driver bearings & coupling
Check to be sure the driver bearings and coupling are properly lubricated.
3.3 Stuffing boxes
Pumps are furnished with packing rings as standard. However, mechanical seals, either single or double,
can be furnished on order.
1.
Stuffing Boxes with Packing Rings:
a) The stuffing box packing is in the box of fittings accompanying the pump. The standard packing
is John Crane "Super Seal" No. 1. "Super Seal" No. 1 is recommended for water, ammonia,
mild chemicals and all general services, and is good for the maxi mum temperatures for which
the pumps are rated. Packing is die formed for easy installation.
