must always be complied with and be kept in perfectly legible condition at all times.

Personnel Qualification and Training


All personnel involved in the work to be performed on the pump set must be fully qualified to carry out the
work involved. Personnel responsibilities, competence and supervision must be clearly defined by the
Operator. If the personnel in question is not already in possession of the requisite know-how, appropriate
training and instruction must be provided. If required, the Operator may commission the manufacturer
/supplier to take care of such training. In addition the Operator is responsible for ensuring that the contents
of the instruction manual are fully understood by his personnel.

Non-compliance with Safety Instructions


Non-compliance with safety instructions can jeopardize the safety of the personnel, the environment and
the pump set itself. Moreover non-compliance with these safety instructions may lead to forfeiture of any
and all rights to claims for damages.
In particular, non-compliance can, for example, result in:
- failure of important pump set functions
- hazard to persons by electrical, mechanical, chemical and thermal effects
- hazard to the environment caused by leakage of hazardous substances.

PROCEDURE FOR LEVELLING & GROUTING OF BASE FRAME AT SITE


( FOR HDA / HDB / HG / CHT PUMPS ONLY )
PURPOSE :
High speed rotory equipment needs to be installed with maximum contact area between base frame
and the foundation. To achieve this conventionally, blue matching procedure is adopted between packer
plates and foundation. This calls for skilled millwright fitters to work on and consumes lot of time.
Despite this, the contact area achieved is nowhere near 100%.
Therefore, the following procedure is recommended which ensures :
1. Nearly 100% contact area between the foundation, the packer plates and the base frame.
2. Considerable saving in time and manpower.
PREPARATION :
The following preparation is followed, in case the base frame and the packer plates ( equal to the
number of foundation bolts ) are in scope of KSB. Otherwise, the user is requested to follow the
preparation as under :
l
l

The base frame is provided with the pads, which are welded at the bottom, machined in one setting
and drilled to 15 mm. Dia. ( Ref. Fig. 1).
Machined packer plates, having 0.02 mm. face parallality, and of the dimensions equal to the
welded pads at the bottom of the base frame, are required with tapping of M 10. These packer plates
are to be bolted with pads at the bottom of the base frame, using M10 bolts ( Ref. Fig. 2 & 3 ).

PROCEDURE :
01.Bolt the pump on the base frame.
02.Bolt the packer plates on the bottom pads of the base frame.
03.Place the unit on the foundation.
04.Suspend foundation bolts into the pockets provided on the foundation blocks.
05.Level the pump on the delivery flange or feet, within 0.04 mm. per meter, using jacking bolts pro
vided at the corners of the base frame.
06.Grout the foundation bolts and the packer plates by using quick setting non-shrink cement, ACC
make Shrinkkomp or Forsoc make Cobextra-GP2 or equivalent ( Ref. Fig. 4 ).
07.Allow curing time of 24 to 72 hours depending upon the grout used.
08.Remove M 10 bolts, which are holding packer plates with the base frame.
09.Carry out final levelling by inserting shims (SS shims preferred) between packer plates and the base
frame.
10.Tighten the foundation bolts and recheck the levelling. Correct it, if necessary.
11. Grout the complete base frame, including the hollow portion, if any, using conventional grouting mix, i.e.,
portland cement, sand and aggregate in proportion 1 : 2 : 2 and gravel size not to exceed 20 mm.
12.Plaster the foundation and apply suitable oil resistant paint.

3. With one machine firmly bolted down, set the equipments at a distance G (refer
table A & B) between shaft ends by using a spacer bar equal in thickness to the
required gap G as shown in Fig. 2.

Fig. 2
Deviation in standard DBSE is defined as axial misalignment (end float). For normal
applications the shaft end should be flushed with inner face of the adapter. In some
special cases the shaft ends may protrude beyond the inner face of the adapter or
may remain inside, if required. The distance between two faces of adapter flanges is
to be maintained as specified. The variation in this distance should not exceed the
permissible initial axial misalignment given in table A.
(C)

ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE

Alignment procedure is given separately for each type of alignment, for simplicity.
However all 3 types of misalignments may be present at the same time.
IMPORTANT : The misalignment capabilities shown in drawings or in product
literature are for dynamic conditions and variations.
For optimum service from the coupling the installation misalignment (Initial
misalignment) should not be more than 25% of the maximum allowable
misalignments limits. Allowance should be made for any anticipated movements
which will occur during operation (e.g. Thermal movements).
For Permissible INITIAL misalignments refer table A

API Piping
Plan 23
REV 2.0
Definition:
A closed loop primary product seal flush plan, where the product is circulated to and from the
primary seal flange through a heat exchanger via an integral pumping ring in the primary seal
chamber.

Objective:
To reduce the temperature of the pumped product lubricating and dissipating the heat generated
by the mechanical seal. A reduction in heat is usually required when the conditions in the stuffing
box are at or near the vapor pressure of the liquid being pumped. Recirculation of the product to
and from the heat exchanger reduces the temperature of the seal flush loop to 150-200 F. This
reduction is accomplished by re-cooling the same product over and over. The heat load on the heat
exchanger is also reduced which slows fouling and hard water deposits in the case side of the
exchanger.

Line Up Procedure:
The following steps outline the checks required before, during and after start-up of the equipment.
1) Check to make sure any valves in the seal flush line are open. These lines should be free of
valves, if possible. Otherwise, any valves in this line must remain open until the pump is
pulled for repair. (With the exception of the vent valve.)
2) Check to make sure the cooling water lines to the heat exchanger are open.
3) Open the case drain on the heat exchanger to clear debris from the cooling water system and
check for flow.
4) Proceed with opening the suction and discharge valves for service.
5) Open the vent valve in the seal flush loop. A full product stream to grade should be obtained
before the vent valve is closed. This will insure the seal is immersed in liquid prior to pump
start-up.
6) Check for leaks around valves in the seal flush line.
6) Start pump per normal procedures.
7) Once running, check to make sure product is flowing to and from the heat exchanger. This
can be confirmed by checking for a temperature drop across the heat exchanger ( i.e.. the
product line entering is hotter than the product line exiting). [Caution: Use caution when
pumping temperature is above 150 F.]
8) Once running, check to make sure the cooling water is flowing through the case side of the
heat exchanger. This can be confirmed by checking for a temperature rise across the heat
exchanger (i.e.. the cooling water line entering will be cooler than the cooling water line
exiting). [Caution: Use caution if the pumping temperature is above 150F.]

Preventive Maintenance and Troubleshooting:


This seal flush plan should be checked on normal operator rounds. Both the inlet and exit lines of
both the process side and cooling water side of the heat exchanger can be checked using a
temperature indicator. During normal operation, the product line exiting the heat exchanger will be
noticeably cooler than the product line entering the heat exchanger. During normal operation, the
cooling water line entering the heat exchanger will be cold all the way to the heat exchanger and the
cooling water line leaving will be noticeably warmer. The body of the heat exchanger will be warm
at all times. The case side of the exchanger should be purged through the case drain line once a
shift. This will insure debris in the cooling water system does not clog the heat exchanger.
[Caution: Use caution if the pumping temperature is above 150F.]
The typical modes of failure in this flush plan are an unvented system, a closed valve in the seal
flush line or the lack of cooling water flow to the heat exchanger. During these modes, you will
note the following on the seal flush system on a particular piece of equipment.

Unvented or Closed Valve in the Seal Flush Line


When the seal flush lines are not vented or a valve is closed, you will find the seal flush lines and
the heat exchanger cold. The seal flush lines may be hot at their origin, but they will become cold
as you move away from the connections towards the heat exchanger. You will also find the body
of the heat exchanger cold.

Solution
Upon finding the above situation, you should check for closed valves in the seal flush line, with
the exception of the vent valve. If no valves are present or they are open, vent the process side of
the cooler through the vent line. In the event the heat exchanger is vapor locked on the process
side, this should promote circulation. In the event you cannot find a problem, contact your
maintenance or BW/IP personnel for further assistance.

Clogged or Closed Cooling Water System


When the cooling water system is clogged or closed, you will find the process lines entering and
exiting the heat exchanger at the same temperature. The body of the heat exchanger will also be
very hot to the touch. The cooling water lines entering and exiting the heat exchanger will be very
hot at the cover and both lines will cool as you move away from the heat exchanger.

Solution
Check the cooling water lines to make sure all valves are open. If open, open the case drain on
the heat exchanger to check for clogging of the heat exchanger case. [Caution: The water will be
hot as it exits the heat exchanger.] Let the water flow to grade until you are confident the case is
clean. Close the case drain. If the above attempts are unsuccessful, begin procedures to shut the
equipment down in an orderly manner.

Shutdown Procedure
Once the equipment has been prepared for maintenance, remove the cooling water lines and check
for clogging. Once cleared, check both the supply and return header pressure. The differential
pressure should be 50 psi minimum. Check the heat exchanger for clogging and repair or replace if
needed.
In the event you cannot find a problem, contact your maintenance or BW/IP personnel for further
assistance.
