INSTALLATION :
2.1
Pump / Pump-set –
Place pump and driver in aligned condition and free from stresses onto the
baseplate. Leave protective plugs of the nozzles in place untill connecting the
piping. If the motor is not installed together with the pump, the set must be
aligned. To do this, make sure the two coupling halves are 100% flush. (See fig.
2). For other types of coupling, see documentation provided by the manufacturer.
Fig. 2
Never mount couplings using force [e.g. blows with a hammer]. After completing
the foundation and connecting the piping, check alignment of the coupling once
more and again, if required. To prevent accidents, it is necessary to use coupling
guard.
2.2
Piping -
Before connecting the piping, remove the anticorrosive agent filled into the pump
before shipment [this only applies to pumps made from gray cast iron.
Suction and delivery flanges should be properly connected to respective piping.
Connect all pipes making sure that no forces/moments resulting from the system
can be transmitted to the pump/driver. The effects of stresses resulting from
temperature fluctuations shall be minimized by making adequate provisions.
Make sure all pipes are completely clean before commencing commissioning/start-
up. Gaskets must be perfectly flush with the inside walls. Check all connections
for leakage.
Do not fit small-angle bends in suction or discharge line. The additional connections
required for this pump/driver [for cooling liquid, sealing liquid, etc] are indicated
separately.
