4.3 Installing a disassembled pump
4.3.1 Installing the bowl assembly
WARNING:
Avoid working under suspended loads. If necessary to do so, follow the more stringent of local,
state or federal safety regulations.
CAUTION:
Refer to
2.3.1 Lifting methods on page 11
NOTICE:
Bowl Assembly shall be done only by ITT Goulds Pumps authorized service centers.
4.3.2 Column installation
4.3.2.1 Installing the column
VICR pumps are normally very short, therefore after bowl assembly is complete, rig, lift and place it in
horizontal position supporting at the column adaptor and suction bell or transition-stage bowl.
NOTICE:
Never rest and support the bowl assembly weight on the tie rods.
Use Molykote Dow-Corning anti-galling compound or an equivalent for all galling material such
as 316 stainless steel.
The bearing retainer is integral with the column. The top flange of the column has a male register and the
bottom flange of the column has a female register.
1.
Before starting the shafts installation, check the headshaft and lineshaft for straightness.
The average TIR should be less than 0.013 mm | 0.0005 in. per 0.305 m | foot and not exceed
0.127 mm | 0.005 in. for every 3 m | 10 ft.
2.
Apply a thin film of oil to the lineshaft.
