5 Commissioning, Startup, Operation, and
Shutdown
5.1 Preparation for startup
WARNING:
•
Risk of serious physical injury or death. Exceeding any of the pump operating limits
(e.g. - pressure, temperature, power, etc.) could result in equipment failure, such as
explosion, seizure, or breach of containment. Assure that the system operating condi-
tions are within the capabilities of the pump.
•
Risk of death or serious injury. Leaking fluid can cause fire and/or burns. Ensure all
openings are sealed prior to filling the pump.
•
Breach of containment can cause fire, burns, and other serious injury. Failure to follow
these precautions before starting the unit may lead to dangerous operating condi-
tions, equipment failure, and breach of containment.
•
Risk of explosion and serious physical injury. Do not operate pump with blocked sys-
tem piping or with suction or discharge valves closed. This can result in rapid heating
and vaporization of pumpage.
•
Risk of breach of containment and equipment damage. Ensure the pump operates
only between minimum and maximum rated flows. Operation outside of these limits
can cause high vibration, mechanical seal and/or shaft failure, and/or loss of prime.
WARNING:
•
Risk of death, serious personal injury, and property damage. Heat and pressure build-
up can cause explosion, rupture, and discharge of pumpage. Never operate the pump
with suction and/or discharge valves closed.
•
Running a pump without safety devices exposes operators to risk of serious personal
injury or death. Never operate a unit unless appropriate safety devices (guards, etc.)
are properly installed.
•
Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power may result in serious physical injury or
death. Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before performing any in-
stallation or maintenance tasks.
•
Electrical connections must be made by certified electricians in compliance with
all international, national, state, and local rules.
•
Refer to driver/coupling/gear manufacturer's installation and operation manuals
(IOM) for specific instructions and recommendations.
•
Risk of seizure, breach of containment, or explosion. Ensure balance line is installed
and piped back to either the pump suction or suction vessel. This prevents rapid va-
porization of the pumped fluid.
Precautions
CAUTION:
When a cartridge mechanical seal is used, ensure that the set screws in the seal locking
ring are tightened and that the centering clips have been removed prior to startup. This pre-
vents seal or shaft sleeve damage by ensuring that the seal is properly installed and cen-
tered on the sleeve.
