3.1.3.1 Toothing
The main gears (item 2400 and 3011) are of single helical tooth design, all main gears are
case harden and ground. Tooth depth, inclination angle and module are selected such that
optimum noise behaviour is achieved.
The toothing of the pump wheels (item 2115 and 2404) are gas nitrided. The toothing of
the pump pinions (item 8523 and 8542) are temper-hardening. The teeth of the pump
stage are of straight design and noise optimized.
3.1.3.2 Casing
The casing is steel-welded and of vibration-resistant design. The casing bottom part is
equipped with an oil collecting tank.
The casing is oil and water-tight.
The casing top parts are provided with inspection covers which allow the inspection of all
teeth, without having to remove the casing top part.
3.1.3.3 Bearing
The input and pinion shaft are accommodated in large sized antifriction bearings, which
are all lubricated by pressurized oil. The output shaft is running in plain bearings (see
chap. 2.1.5). The output shaft has integrated the propeller thrust bearing; the thrust pads
are of RENK design. The plain bearing temperatures are measured by resistance
thermometers (PT100) and monitored in the LOP.

4.3.1 Preparation
The gear unit with the hydraulic system (RENK supply) is delivered completely flushed and
prepared for operation. All connections between gear unit (connection nos. see technical
data part 2) and all ship equipment must be connected by yard.
Before starting the plant, the prescribed gear unit oil (see chap. 5.5.8) must be filled in
through the filling device (connection 902, see fig. 1) until the proper oil level has been
reached. The gear unit oil must have a purity degree of 18/15/12 by ISO 4406.
4.3.2 Flushing
After the flushing procedure the filter elements and the solenoid insert of the duplex filter
must be inspected and cleaned. In case of strong contamination of the filter elements the
flushing procedure should be repeated.
Note: The load must be increased gradually within each load stage. RENK
recommends increasing the propeller speed in steps of 20 rpm. If the load
stages need to be changed to provide for an adaptation to the overall test
schedule of the ship, RENK has to be consulted.
After the full load operation, the pattern of the toothing must show an even contact over
face width and tooth depth on the load flank. Non-contact areas at the tooth tip and tooth
root are still admissible.
Note: Based on the execution of proper alignment and final tooth contact check with
the ship in water it is very unlikely that the tooth contact after load operation
during sea trials will not correspond to the requirements.
Anyhow in case of insufficient tooth contact which may harm the performance of the gear
unit the cause has to be analyzed and corresponding counter-measurements must be
taken.
4.4 Operation
ATTENTION: A start of the gear unit without electrically driven control oil pump

WARNING:
In the case II the plant must be started without support of the electrically driven control oil
pump (3). During this start and engagement the lube oil pressure and flow is reduced to a
minimum; therefore this procedure should be limited to really emergency cases and not for
training purpose. RISK OF DAMAGE!
4.5.1 General
The following procedures have to be performed if standstill periods or discontinuations of
the gear units exceed 1 month:
• the gear unit has to be operated with running at external electrically pump (see
chap. 4.4.3) for at least 30 min.;
• the multi-disc clutch has to be operated with local manual emergency
(see chap. 4.4.7);
ATTENTION: Only at standstill propeller shaft!

Note:
• Make sure that no foreign matter enters the gear unit during the inspection of the
toothing.
• Check the toothing for an even contact over the entire face width and depth.
• Check the toothing for pittings, sliding wear, striae, etc.
• On the head of several teeth of each gear small areas (see fig. 1) are grinded a
little bit; this is not damage; it was needed for workshop hardness test.
ATTENTION: When detecting any damage to the toothing or a bad tooth
contact pattern, immediately demand for a RENK AG specialist.
• Check seal (item 1091) for damage and replace them if necessary.
• Reassembly takes place in opposite position.

The oil level is checked by means of the dipstick (item 1096, see fig. 3) which is located in
the lower casing part. The oil level must be between the min and max markings of the
dipstick with the gear unit at standstill (see fig. 3). If the oil level drops under the min.
marking, the level switch (99) triggers alarm.
b) Oil filling:
- The lower gear unit part has been conceived as oil collecting tank.
- The gear unit must be filled with gear oil according to table of lubricants
(chap. 5.4). Remove the flange (see fig. 2, item 6754, connection no. 902) at the
casing upper part and mounting the oil filling in device (not RENK supply).
Note: The inserted filter (line strainer 10) with mesh size 1.25 is intended only for the
rough dirt filtering.
- The oil is to be filled in via a filter with a mesh width of approx. 0.01 mm.
- The oil quantity has been rated so that the oil level is between the two dip stick
markings (see fig. 3) when the gear unit and the electrically pump (3) are at
standstill.
- Close after filling with flange (item 6754).

6.3 Repairs
IMPORTANT!
Part 1 and chapter 6.1 must always be observed when carrying out all work.
Before the repair work:
• Ensure the unit or equipment cannot be switched on.
• Fix prohibiting sign „ATTENTION: Out of operation ......“ at the ship control
stand.
• Never carry out any work at energised lines.
• Possibly stop the installation when carrying out work on the gear unit oil system or
the seawater system. Relieve pressure and discharge the piping at the work place
by closing all pertinent slides/valves.
Note: When working on the gear unit or on peripheral units, observe the instructions
given for such units/components which are not part of the RENK system.
Adhere to the operating manual for the entire propulsion system!
After the repair work:
• Perform a functional check.
• Remove tools, instruments and cleaning cloth from place of installation.
• Remove prohibiting signs and release installation for operation again.
Screw connections within the gear casing and separately marked screw connections
outside the gear are to be secured with Loctite. Only use the Loctite type indicated on the
assembly drawing.
Hints for assembly:
Cleaning: Dirty and greasy screws, nuts, and thread bores
are to be cleaned. Cleaning means is alkali free
neutral, P3-T 5125, Per.
Applying of product: Put sufficient Loctite for filling the gap along the
total thread length onto the screw thread. For
larger threads from abt. M16 on and generally for
sag holes it is necessary to add wetting of thread
bores.
Tightening of screw connections: Tighten screw by the required torque only as long
as it can be turned by hand. The friction coefficient
when using Loctite corresponds to the one of oiled
screws (µ = 0.125).
Putting into service: Putting into service (loading of connection) must
not take place before the product is stable for
functioning.
New use of items: When using again items which have been
dismantled and secured with Loctite before, the
old Loctite remainders on screws have to be
removed mechanically, e.g. by means of a wire
brush. The thread bores must be cleaned and
Loctite remainders removed and blown with
greaseless compressed air.

7.2.1 General
On the outside a paint coat in accordance with the order specification is applied. Parts
which, for functional reasons, must not be painted, have been left unpainted. Before
dispatch of the finish-assembled gear unit the latter is preserved both inside and out. Unless
otherwise specified by the ordering party the following preservation is applied to the gear
unit:
Interior preservation: ARAL Konit ISO VG 100 (see chap. 7.2.7)
Exterior preservation: VALVOLINE Tectyl 506 (see chap. 7.2.7)
For detailed information as to preservation, duration of preservation, renewal of preservation
and supply sources refer to the next chapter.
Note: The preservation oil has to be drained via the drain screw (connection no. 901)
after or during the preservation.
Use the same preservation oil if possible. Other compounds may be used if equivalent to or
compatible with the original compound (see chap. 7.2.1).
IMPORTANT!
The "General Safety Instructions" set forth in Part 1 has to be strictly adhered
to during the performance of installation work.
7.3.2 Preparation
When installing the gear unit into the ship, put it provisionally on the jacking screws.
Before the actual alignment work at the gear unit, the propeller shaft over the entire length
must be brought into its final position considering the special alignment instructions of the
yard.
If the coupling provided between diesel engine and gear unit is not yet rigidly connected with
the gear unit input shaft, it must be flange-connected to the gear unit shaft.
Attention must be paid that the weight of the engine side part of the coupling will not load the
gear unit (support the engine side part of the coupling).
Note:
The thermal growth calculations during alignment in this chapter refer to a machine
room temperature of 20°C and an operating temperature of 50°C (temperature
difference = 30°C). If the machine room temperature deviates by more than ± 3°C,
the alignment values have to be corrected as follows:
50 − amt
AV = IV ×
30
ATTENTION! If the gear unit is turned during the alignment process the plain
bearings must be lubricated. To this effect the electrically driven
control oil pump (3) must operate constantly. It must be started 5
minutes before the turning drive is connected. If not lubricated
during the turning process, the bearings may suffer damage.

For the axial runout measurement two dial gauges are to be used which are arranged offset
by 180°.
The final values are to be recorded after completion of alignment and to be checked at a
later moment in warm condition (50°C).

7.4.1 General
• the gearbox sea-water-cooler tube package is made of copper-nickel 90/10 tubes; this
material is sea water resistant, but special conditions may harm the resistance
capacity; thus it is strongly recommended to follow the given instructions.
• it must be noted that any corrosion / erosion damages of the cooler tube package are
not be covered by the guarantee of the cooler maker.
• for further instructions refer to the full instruction manual of the cooler, added in the
chapter of sub-suppliers documentation.
7.4.2 Installation
• turbulent sea water flow into the cooler must be avoided (no sharp bends before the
sea water inlet).
• adjustment of the sea water flow by orifice behind the cooler; orifices before the cooler
may cause bad filling conditions of the cooler.
• sea water piping-system fitted in that way that the cooler will be drained automatically
in stand-still conditions.
• installation of a small by-pass pipe behind the cooler directly connected to the sea
water drain for automatic ventilation (de-aeration) of the cooler during start-up and
operation.
• in the ship sea water system anodes have to be provided in the necessary amount.
The anodes in the gearbox-cooler are only designed to protect the cooler itself. If
there are not enough additionally anodes in the complete system, the cooler anodes
will be destroyed in a very short time.
• an additional good corrosion protection is provided if the last part of the cooler
connection pipe at the sea water inlet is made of simple thick-walled carbon steel.
• sea water supply to be passed through a strainer with filter mesh of max. 3 mm.

Danger
This symbol refers to a possibly dangerous situation which can cause injuries and damage to
property if it is not avoided.
1.2 General
Low voltage motors have dangerous, live and rotating parts, and probably hot surfaces. All work for transport,
connection, commissioning and maintenance is to be made by qualified, responsible specialists (EN
50110–1/VDE 0105 Part 1, IEC 60364 must be observed). An inadequate behaviour can cause severe dam-
ages to persons and property.
Low voltage motors are components to be installed into machines in accordance with
Directive 89/392/EEC.
Commissioning is not allowed as long as the conformity of the end product with this directive is not estab-
lished (EN 60204–1 has also to be observed).
1.5 Installation
Take care of an even ground, suitable fastening of feet or flange and an exact alignment for direct coupling.
Avoid that structure–dependent natural frequencies occur within the rotary frequency and the double mains fre-
quency. Turn rotor by hand, listen to abnormal frictioning noises. Check direction of rotation before coupling
(Observe section ”Electrical connection”).
Pulleys and couplings are only allowed to be installed or removed with suitable devices (Heating!) and to be
covered with protection against accidental contact. Avoid inadmissible belt tensions (Tech. List). The bal-
ance of the low voltage motor is indicated on the shaft end face or on the rating plate (H = half key, F = full
key). In case of a half key (H), the coupling must also be balanced with a half key. In case of any protruding
and visible part of the key take care of the mass balancing.
If required, make the necessary pipe connections. Mounting types with the shaft end facing upwards are to be
provided with a cover by the customer, avoiding that foreign bodies fall into the fan.
1.7 Operation
Vibration severities veff ≤ 3.5 mm/s (PN ≤ 15 kW) and 4.5 mm/s (PN > 15 kW) are not critical in coupled oper-
ation. In case of changes compared with normal operation – e.g. higher temperatures, noises, vibrations –
the cause is to be found, if required, consult the manufacturer. Even for trial operation the safety devices are
not allowed to be put out of function. In case of doubt switch off the low voltage motor.
In case of heavy dirt accumulation, the air ducts must be cleaned at regular intervals.
Bearings with regreasing devices are to be regreased with low voltage motor running. Risk of accidents! Pay
attention to rotating parts. Observe saponification class! If grease drainholes are sealed with a plug, remove
these plugs before putting into operation. Boreholes have to be sealed with grease. Replacement of bearings
in case of permanent lubrication see Appendix 1 or motor documentation.
1.8 Warranty
The Warranty is only applicable if all of these instructions for safety and putting into operation as well as the
following paragraphs of the operating instructions and the directions for possible additional units are strictly ob-
served.

Mounting dimensions for surface cooling (TEFC) up to frame size 315 M acc. to
DIN 42 673 (foot mounted)
DIN 42 677(flange mounted)
from frame size 315 L acc. to dimension drawing,
all frame sizes acc. to IEC 60072–1 or IEC 60072–2: see dimension drawing
Mounting dimensions for internal cooling (ODP) up to frame size 315 M acc. to
DIN 42 672 (foot mounted)
DIN 42 676 (flange mounted)
from frame size 315 L acc. to dimension drawing,
all frame sizes acc. to IEC 60072–1 or IEC 60072–2: see dimension drawing
Enclosure acc. to
EN 60034 – 5: see rating plate
2.2 Bearings
The motors are equipped with grease–lubricated antifriction bearings. The standard version of the
bearings in surface–cooled motors up to frame size 280 and in internally cooled motors up to frame
size 225 is permanently lubricated.
The bearings of totally enclosed fan–cooled (TEFC) motors from frame size 315 and the internally
cooled open–drip proof (ODP) motors from frame size 250 are equipped with regreasing devices
and automatic grease quantity control.
2.6 Rotor
The rotor in motors of small frame sizes is equipped with a squirrel cage made of aluminium die
cast, in case of larger frame sizes and for special starting– and braking conditions a brazed rotor
version is also available. The rotor is dynamically balanced.
The balance is indicated on the shaft end or the rating plate, see Paragraph 4.1 ”Installation”.
The motors in standard design meet the requirements of vibration level N
acc. to DIN EN 60034–14 / IEC 60034–14, in special cases level R (reduced) or S (special).
A most careful mounting and alignment of the motors on an absolutely even surface is impera-
tive to avoid distortions when the screws are being tightened. For machines which are to be
coupled it must be paid attention to a careful alignment. See Appendix 2 for alignment check.
As elastic as possible couplings should be used.
The motors with surface cooling (TEFC), hollow–fin cooling or tube cooling , internal
cooling or internal cooling with air–to–air heat exchanger
(for all indicated types except Type A.WA.–... and JNWA–...)
Maximum permissible coolant temperature (ambient temperature on site) acc. to EN 60034–1/IEC
60034–1 is 40°C (104°F) and a permissible altitude up to 1000 m above mean sea level (other va-
lues see rating plate).
Care must be taken that the cooling air can flow without hindrance into the air inlet openings and
freely pass through the air outlet openings and cannot be directly sucked in again. Suction and
outlet openings must be protected from obstructions and coarse dust.
The cooling water circuit is to be monitored. Normally, the motor is equipped with PTC thermistor
sensors, which switch off the motor if the cooling–water circuit fails. If the housing is provided with
vent plugs for the water chamber, venting is to be made for the first filling and thereafter at regular
intervals.
Only clean, non–aggressive cooling water is to be used. Admissible content of suspended solids
is max. 10mg/l
A most careful mounting and alignment of the motors on an absolutely even surface is impera-
tive to avoid distortions when the screws are being tightened. For machines which are to be
coupled it must be paid attention to a careful alignment. See Appendix 2 for alignment check.
As elastic as possible couplings should be used.
The inlet temperature of the cooling water should be at least 20 °C (68 °F).
Temperatures below 20 °C (68 °F) result in higher formation of condensation water and motor fail-
ure. Admissible inlet and outlet temperature, maximum pressure and the required amount of cool-
ing water are indicated on the motor plates.
The motors are only allowed to be operated at a coolant temperature over 0 °C (32 °F). For lower
temperatures it is required to add an antifreeze due to reduced cooling effect. Consultation with
the motor manufacturer is required.
The motors with mounted–on air–water heat exchanger for the Type JNWA–..
Before commissioning of the motors, the troublefree function of the cooling–water circuit must be
guaranteed. It must be ensured that the motor will only be switched on when the cooling–water
circuit is in operation. It must be kept functioning until the motor comes to standstill after switching–
off.
Admissible inlet and outlet temperature, maximum pressure and the required amount of cooling
water are indicated on the motor plates.
4.1 Mounting
Fitting of pulleys or couplings.
First the shaft end should be cleaned (not with emery cloth) and then greased. Pulley or coupling
should be fitted only with the aid of a fitting device. For this purpose the threaded centering hole
in the shaft end can be used. Insert a threaded bolt into the threaded hole. Then place the steel
washer, the diameter of which is large enough to cover the hub borehole of the pulley or coupling.
The pulley and coupling is to be fitted onto the shaft end by means of a nut or a suitable hydraulic
device.
The fitting of the drive elements by means of hammer blows is not permitted because of
the risk of bearing damages.
When replacing the bearings those must only be removed and reinstalled by means of suit-
able devices using the shaft centering. Only original spare parts must be used.
The rotor of the motor is dynamically balanced. Balance is indicated on the shaft end face or the
rating plate (H = half key, F = full key). Take care of the balance for installation of the driving el-
ement!
The balancing of the transmission elements to be fitted must be adapted to the rotor balancing.
In case of half key balancing any protruding and visible part of the key has to be removed.
The motor must only be mounted and operated according to the specified mounting arrangement
(see rating plate).
4.3.3 With forced ventilation the direction of rotation is separately marked by an arrow on the forced
ventilation itself.
5. Maintenance
The responsible for the facility must ensure that the specified maintenance work
is made adequately.
5.1.1 The bearings in totally enclosed fan–cooled (TEFC) motors up to frame size 280 and of inter-
nally cooled open drip–proof (ODP) motors up to frame size 225 are permanently lubricated. In
case of differences this is marked by indication plates on the motor.
For normal coolant temperatures (see EN 60034–1 or page 2 of these instructions) motors
are greased in our plant, which under normal operating conditions must only be replaced after
several years (see Appendix 1).
5.1.2 Bearings of totally enclosed fan–cooled (TEFC) motors from frame size 315 (upon customer
request also for the range from frame size 160 to 280) and of internally cooled open drip–proof
(ODP) motors from frame size 250 as well as the water–cooled motor with air–water circuit
cooler are equipped with regreasing devices and automatic grease quantity control. The re-
greasing of the bearings is done by means of a grease gun through the nipples provided on the
end shields.
Overfilling of the bearing chambers is not possible since in case of an extended regreasing the
used grease will be thrown off by a rotating disk in the outer grease chamber through an aper-
ture in the end shield (or into a grease collecting chamber).
If the motor is equipped with grease removal rams, the used grease must be removed after re-
greasing by pulling the ram at the bearing several times to the stop, with the motor in operation.
If the motor is equipped with grease collecting chambers, these chambers are to be dismounted
at motor standstill acc. to the intervals on the instruction plate and the used bearing grease is to
be removed. If this is not done, the grease piles up and the bearings are overheated.
Extending the regreasing intervals endangers the bearing and might risk a deterioration of the
sealing provided by the grease and thus the ingress of dust into the bearing. If the motors have
not been operated for a longer period we recommend even for new motors to regrease the bearings
before putting into operation, especially if due to congealing grease in the bearing there are noises
which are caused by vibrations of the bearing cage. In the course of running–in increased bearing
noises might occur for a short period. The bearing noise is not critical as long as the operating tem-
perature of the bearing is not yet reached and if the noise is caused by the dynamic viscosity of
the bearing grease.
We would like to point out that the grease quantity regulation can only work properly if the grease
types specified by us are used. Decisive is the plate fixed on the motor!
Only use antifriction bearing grease as specified for regreasing on the motor plate, i.e. for the ambi-
ent temperature range from –25°C (–13°F) to +70°C (+158°F) lithium based grease (e.g Shell Al-
vania RL3), for the ambient temperature range from –60°C (–76°F) to +80°C (+176°F) special
grease (e.g. Klüber Isoflex Alltime SL2). Admissible ambient temperature for the motors: See
Paragraph 1.3.
Motors for special operating conditions are supplied with a separate greasing plate stating the
grease quality to be used as well as the regreasing intervals.
Relubrication with grease of a different saponification basis. e.g. sodium saponified grease,
might cause a deterioration and elimination of the grease effect and thus a total damage of the
bearings.
In case of 2 and 4 pole motors it might happen that by the use of unsuitable grease the grease
quantity regulation fails and when pressing new grease into the bearings they get abnormally hot
due to overfilling. In such cases the bearings have to be cleaned thoroughly by using cold–degreas-
ing agent, and be refilled with suitable grease.
When the rated service life is reached the bearings should either be replaced or it is to be
proven by an inspection that there are no mechanical damages.
– For bearings which are not regreasable it is ensured that the rated service life will only be
reached clearly after achieving the grease service life of the bearings.
– The calculated rated service life of the bearings can be seen in the data sheet of the ma-
chine, if it was specified particularly or for structural reasons specified for an individual case.
– For machines which are exposed to forces applied externally (e.g. belt force or axial load
from the driven machine) the bearing service life is a minimum of 20.000 hours for the full load
indicated in the technical list.
– All of the other machines have a rated bearing service life of at least 40.000 hours.
– For bearings with separate oil supply the user is to watch suitably that the lubrication is main-
tained.
6. Additional equipment
For mounting and removal of the motor the corresponding operating instructions of the centrifuge
must be observed.
Starting– and braking conditions of the motor in accordance with the corresponding operating in-
structions must be observed.
Even for trial operation the control and safety devices as well as the motor monitoring (thermal
motor protection, speed monitoring and others) are not allowed to be put out of function.
The motor must only be mounted and operated according to the specified mounting arrangement.
Any other application is prohibited.
It has to be secured that the servicing personnel is informed at once or the electrical machine is
immediately stopped to find the causes, if contrary to the rated operation higher temperatures, no-
ises, vibrations etc. occur.
Direction of rotation:
The centrifuge is only suitable for one direction of rotation. The relating arrow on the centrifuge
must be observed.
Bearing and greasing:
For permanently lubricated motors (also see bearing and greasing data sheet on request) the
grease life, grease quantities and grease qualities as indicated in Appendix 1 of these operating
instructions are applicable. Motors with regreasing device are equipped with an automatic grease
quantity control. Regreasing intervals, grease quantity, grease quality and the exact bearing type
are indicated on the motor plate or in the bearing– and greasing data sheet to be requested.
A lack of regreasing, an extension of the regreasing intervals or the use of a wrong grease quality
might endanger the bearing. This can result in a deterioration of the bearing and the motor shaft,
also entailing consequential damages on the centrifuge.
For this reason it is recommendable to maintain an inspection– and maintenance plan where re-
greasing and possible bearing replacements are documented.
Replacement of bearing:
See safety instructions, section ”Operation”.
The service life of the bearings depends on many influences. Therefore, the operation of the low–
voltage motor has continuously to be checked and the intervals for bearing replacement to be de-
termined accordingly.
8. Spare parts
When ordering spare parts or components please state the type, serial number of the motor.
Both data can be taken from the rating plate.

9. Storage specifications
9.1 For motors which have to be stored for a period of up to 2 years, the fol-
lowing is to be observed:
9.1.1 Storage
9.1.1.1 The motors are to be stored dry, dustfree and at room temperature. In this case no special
packing is required. Otherwise the motors must be packed into plastic foil with humidity–ab-
sorbing substances (e.g. Branogel) or into an air–sealed foil. Protective cover against sun and
rain is to be provided.
9.1.1.2 In order to avoid secondary failures at the bearings caused by vibrations at standstill, for
example by adjacent running machines, the motors are only allowed to be stored in vibration-
less rooms.
9.1.1.3 For transport the TEFC, ODP and water–cooled motors with roller bearings have to be
equipped with a bearing lock at the driving end. It is to remain locked until commissioning resp.
to be reinstalled after an inspection or a trial operation. A locking device is not necessary and
not available, if the bearing is axially preloaded.
9.1.1.4 On motors with sealed condensation water drain holes it might be necessary to have the con-
densation water flow out. Afterwards the boreholes are to be sealed again.
9.1.2 Commissioning
9.1.2.1 Before commissioning the insulation resistance of the winding must be measured by qualified
personnel phase against phase and phase against mass. Damp windings may cause leakage
currents, arcing and ruptures. In case of values ≤ 1 kΩ per Volt of rated voltage measured at a
winding temperature of 20 °C (68 °F) the winding must be dried. Drying is possible by feeding
of the winding with single phase a.c. current. The voltage has to be adjusted in a way that the
recommended values of the heating current in accordance with Illustrations a) and b) are not
exceeded.
The temperature should reach approx. 80 °C (176 °F) and be active for several hours. Drying
is also possible in a drying kiln.
9.1.3.2 Commissioning
Before commissioning the humidity–absorbing substance (e.g. Branogel) is to be removed from
the terminal boxes and the measures according to 9.1.2 are to be performed.
9.2 For motors which are stored for more than 2 up to 4 years before com-
missioning additionally applies:
9.2.1 Storage
9.2.1.1 The manufacturer must be informed on the storage time in the purchase order.
9.2.1.2 Shaft opening and terminal box cover are to be provided with grease seals of antifriction bear-
ing grease. The motor shafts are not allowed to be rotated, as otherwise the protective grease
coating is destroyed. If a movement of rotating parts is unavoidable, the protective grease
coating has to be renewed.
9.2.1.4 Due to the long standstill the antifriction bearings must be greased with the special grease
”Staburags NBU 8 EP”.
9.2.2 Commissioning
9.2.2.1 Before commissioning the humidity–absorbing substance (e.g. Branogel) is to be removed from
the terminal boxes and the measures according to 9.1.2 are to be performed.
9.3 If motors (not Type A.WA–... and JNWA–...) are stored at temperatures till
–50°C (–58 °F) the following must be observed in addition to the instruc-
tions according to point 9.1. and 9.2:
9.3.1 The standard antifriction bearing grease for the motors as per catalogue is suitable for
operating temperatures between –30 °C (–22 °F) and +130 °C (+266 °F). Temperatures till –50
°C (–58 °F) are harmless for the antifriction bearing grease, when the motors are at standstill
or stored. (For an operation at –50 °C (–58 °F) a special grease, e.g. Klüber Isoflex Alltime
SL2, is available for the bearings).
9.3.2 Motors with regreasing device are to be relubricated with the double grease quantity when put
into operation.
9.4 If motors with direct water jacket cooling or with air–water cooler (Type
A.WA–... or JNWA–... )
are stored at temperatures up to –20 °C (–4 °F) the following must be ob-
served in addition to the instructions of point 9.1 and 9.2:
In any case the coolers have to be dried completely with hot air of max. 60 °C (140 °F) and
then to be sealed.
At commissioning the motors with regreasing device have to be relubricated with the double
grease quantity.
9.5 Further to these storage instructions all data of these operating instruc-
tions are to be considered.
The manufacturer’s warranty is only applicable if all of the above men-
tioned items are strictly observed.
The indicated grease life is applicable for an ambient temperature of max. 40 °C (104 °F).
For a temperature rise of 10 °C (50 °F) each the grease life is to be reduced by factor 0.7 of the chart value
(max. 20 °C/68 °F = factor 0.5).
At an ambient temperature of 25 5C (77 5F) the double grease life can be expected, however, 33000
operating hours at a maximum.
1) Independently of the operation hours the antifriction bearing grease resp. the bearing (2Z bearings) have to
1. General
2. Installation
• turbulent sea water flow into the cooler must be avoided (no sharp bends before
the sea water inlet).
• adjustment of the sea water flow by orifice behind the cooler; orifices before the
cooler may cause bad filling conditions of the cooler.
• sea water piping-system fitted in that way that the cooler will be drained
automatically in stand-still conditions.
• installation of a small by-pass pipe behind the cooler directly connected to the sea
water drain for automatic ventilation (de-aeration) of the cooler during start-up and
operation.
• in the ship sea water system anodes have to be provided in the necessary
amount. The anodes in the gearbox-cooler are only designed to protect the cooler
itself. If there are not enough additionally anodes in the complete system, the
cooler anodes will be destroyed in a very short time.
• an additional good corrosion protection is provided if the last part of the cooler
connection pipe at the sea water inlet is made of simple thick-walled carbon steel.
• sea water supply to be passed through a strainer with filter mesh of max. 3 mm.
• too low or too high sea water flow velocity in the cooler is causing corrosion
respective erosion; thus minimum / maximum sea water flow through the cooler
must be kept within the limits during all operating conditions (full speed range,
operation with attached pump or electric pump etc., flow/pressure characteristic of
the complete sea-water system and the sea-water pump); the flow limits are
indicated in the technical data sheets.
5. Operation
• After putting the ship into normal service it is recommended to check the anodes
more frequently in the first time; according to the results of this checks the time
interval can be prolonged up to the normal recommended check intervals (every 3
months).
6. Stop periods
MVA Thermostatic Valves are used to provide reliable, automatic control of fluid temperatures in
turbines, compressors and engine water jacket and lubricating oil cooling systems. They are
also suitable for process control and industrial applications where fluids must be mixed or
diverted depending on their temperatures. They may also be applied to co-generation systems
to control temperatures in the heat recovery loop assuring proper engine cooling and
maximising heat recovery.
All MVA Thermostatic Valves are equipped with positive 3-way valve action in which the water
or lubricating oil is positively made to flow in the direction required. On jacket water applications
when the engine is started up and is cold, the MVA Thermostatic Valve causes all of the water
to be positively by-passed back into the engine, thus providing the quickest warm-up period
possible. After warm up, the correct amount of water is by-passed and automatically mixed with
the cold water returning from the heat exchanger or other cooling device to produce the desired
jacket water outlet temperature. If ever required, the MVA Thermostatic Valve will shut off
positively on the by-pass line for maximum cooling. The 3-way action of the MVA Thermostatic
Valve allows a constant volume of water through the pump and engine at all times with no pump
restriction when the engine is cold.
No adjustments are ever required on MVA Thermostatic Valves. Once installed a MVA
Thermostatic Valve will provide years of trouble-free service.
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
Because MVA Thermostatic Valves are set to a predetermined temperature at the factory,
costly errors due to mistakes of operating personnel are eliminated. After a MVA Thermostatic
Valve has been installed, it is impossible for the operator to arbitrarily change the operating
temperature and run the engine too cold or too hot unless the temperature element assemblies
themselves are changed.
MVA Thermostatic Valves are temperature rated for the expected nominal operating
temperature in jacket water service. On lubricating oil applications the system operating
temperature may be slightly above the nominal rating, depending on the type of oil flow rate, oil
cooler capacity and other conditions of the system.
For long life, MVA Thermostatic Valves should not be operated continuously at temperatures
more than about 75°F (24°C) above their nominal ratings. If higher continuous over-
temperatures are expected, contact the factory for recommendations.
OPERATION
The power creating medium utilises the expansion of a special thermostatic wax material which
remains in a semi-solid form and which is highly sensitive to temperature changes.
1) Maintenance
Properly applied and installed, MVA Thermostatic Valves require minimal maintenance. An
inspection at 2 or 3 year intervals is adequate to detect and make provision for manual wear.
Excessive temperatures, chemical, electrolytic attack or cavitation will shorten the life of the
element assemblies, seals and seats. These items are replaceable. Water additives may cause
swelling of the O-ring seals around the stem and the sliding valve to a point where they may
affect valve action and require replacement. Synthetic base lubricants will definitely attack the
O-ring seals which may be replaced by O-rings of alternate materials. Contact the MVA factory
for recommendations.
Carbonates, scale and other solids must not be permitted to build up on sliding valve or sensing
cup surfaces. The valve and element assemblies may be cleaned with mild acid or Oakite
solutions. Hard scale may require wire brush buffing.
2) Manual override
If for any reason "M"-Thermostatic valves with manual override should not work properly, each
element assembly is fitted with an infinitaly variable override which allows on accurate manual
temperature regulation.
Before the manual override is used we recommend, however, to check whether the cause of
trouble is not somewhere in the system, according to paragraph 3) "Trouble shooting". Manual
override should only be used in emergency case.
If a thermostatic valve with several element assemblies is installed (DN 65 - DN 125) it is
recommended to open one element assembly after the other against cooler by turning screw
until desired temperature is nearly reached. Final regulation is done with next element
assembly.
3) Trouble-Shooting
In the event that your cooling system does not operate close to the desired temperature, the
following check list may point to one or more causes for the problem.
