3.3 Power Flow Chart
The disc brake system employs two discs, one disc on each side of the drum. The
brake’s hydraulic calipers are spring-applied and hydraulically released, providing a fail-
safe braking capability for both park and emergency braking.
The drawworks frame has been designed and analyzed for optimum strength and
minimum weight. The result is an efficient, high-strength weldment design. The frame is
fabricated of high strength plate and structural members to provide a sturdy oil-tight and
weatherproof enclosure for the shafts. Structural support plates are provided for shaft
main bearings. The drawworks frame is carefully fabricated using precision jigs and
fixtures to maintain accurate alignment.
The drawworks design provides for simple installation. Oversize service panels are
located at key locations on the drawworks to provide easy access for all routine
maintenance and major service requirements, ensuring minimum downtime.
The design life of this drawworks is 20 years; an effective lubrication and maintenance
program combined with routine change-out of expendable components is assumed to
be in operation.

Proper storage and preservation measures will help ensure the maximum design life for
the drawworks. Accessory items, spare parts, etc. shall be protected in accordance with
these guidelines.
NOTE: The drawworks is shipped dry; however, a preservative is run through the
lubrication system prior to shipping. All applicable reservoirs have been
shipped with sufficient oil in order to minimize the areas that may become
exposed to condensation or corrosion.
Prior to shipping or for long term storage, protect the hydraulic and lube oil systems
from rust and corrosion. Add the Rust Inhibitor “PROCON”. The recommended
treatment rate is 2% to existing oil (engines, manual transmissions, final drives,
hydraulic systems, circulating systems, gear boxes, etc.), and 5% for fuel systems.
Protection is extended for up to two years for most applications.
NOTE: When putting equipment back into operation, both the lubrication and
hydraulic tank require filling prior to start-up.
Ensure the equipment has been cleaned of all foreign matter and thoroughly dried
before preservation.
Protect all machined surfaces with a rust inhibitor (i.e. Denso Tape or Tecteel spray
or equivalent) where applicable.
Place rubber gaskets and metal blanks over all interface connections. Interface
surfaces, which are not corrosion resistant, is to be protected with a corrosion
inhibitor before sealing.
Ensure all grease points are well-greased.
Indoor storage is preferred for the equipment because condensation and corrosion
can be minimized in a controlled environment.
Remove mud, adhering dirt, and other foreign matter able to hold moisture. If
cleaning is done with steam or a solvent, avoid washing lubricating oil or grease
from unpainted surfaces or close-fitting elements. Touch up the paint if necessary.

Page 14
Elevate the equipment some distance from the ground or floor. Enough beams
should be provided to give normal support to the equipment and be high enough to
avoid water accumulation; a drained location is preferable. Remove any
accumulated moisture on or near equipment.
If the equipment must be stored outdoors, moisture must be prevented from
contacting the equipment. All equipment should be packed with heat-shrunk plastic
or tarpaulin of at least 0.15 mm thickness or crated. Ensure the integrity of the
tarpaulin and/or crating.
Where storage temperature is not stable, sufficient sealing of the equipment with
tape and plastic sheet is recommended along with use of desiccant. Cable ends are
preserved with sealing tape or blanks. Desiccant bags are used inside all enclosed
areas such as instrument cabinets and junction boxes. Renew desiccant and sealing
tape as necessary.
Place packing around valve panels (if applicable) to protect against shock or impact.
For long term storage, National Oilwell Varco recommends the drum assembly be
rotated every six months to prevent “brinelling” of bearings. Follow the below
procedure to properly rotate the drum assembly.
1. Remove rust protector from the brake discs.
2. Use the hand pump to pressure up the hydraulic system. (Follow the
instructions outlined in section 5.3.2.)
3. Release the brake calipers.
4. Drum can now be rotated with a “snipe.”
5. After several complete rotations, re-apply the brake calipers and reinstall the
motors’ locking bolts.
6. Re-apply the rust preservatives onto the brake discs (if the equipment is
scheduled for extended storage).
Various measures have been taken or should be taken to preserve the drawworks
equipment. Note the following instructions when taking the drawworks out of storage
and preparing it for installation:
• Remove tape and plastic sheeting from unpainted machined surfaces, and all
exposed shafts.
• Remove any metal or molded plastic caps from all threaded connections.
• Remove blanks from the exposed piping ends of the air and cooling systems.
• Steam-clean areas covered with corrosion preventative and surface protection
coatings to remove the coating.

Document No. 9130E099
Page 15
• Re-lubricate areas where steam cleaning may have washed away lubricants from
pivot points and other moving mechanical parts.
• Painted areas may have suffered chipping and wear during preservation. Surfaces
must be cleaned of surface corrosion and thoroughly dried, before being repainted
with machinery enamel.
• Use silicone sealant for all sealing surfaces.
• After rust protector is removed, clean the brake discs again using a low residue
cleaning solvent such as “Electro-Sol” or MEK. Ensure discs are free of all residues.

The five-motored drawworks has eight mounting locations. Each mounting location shall
be checked according to the procedure below.
The drawworks requires a level, straight base for proper operation. Prior to installation
of the drawworks, check the supporting structure for level and straightness at each of
the mounting locations (refer to drawing 9130C138). The variation from level can not
exceed 1/4” over the length of the drawworks (29’ – 5”) or 1/8” over the width of the
drawworks (11’ – 0”). The structure should also be straight within 1/8”. This means that
measuring from line drawn from one end of the drawworks to the other end of the
drawworks will result in a deviation of no more than 1/16” for the two mounting locations
in the centre of the drawworks.
1 2 3 4
Points 2 and 3 are no more than 1/16” away from the straight line.
Install shims to bring the supporting structure within the tolerances indicated above.
Once the supporting structure is level and straight, hoist and install the drawworks onto
the structure.
Prior to installing and torquing the tie down bolts, check to ensure the drawworks skid is
in full contact with the supporting structure at each of the mounting points. If the
drawworks skid is not touching the supporting structure then shim up the skid at the
mounting point.
CAUTION: Do not tighten down the tie down bolts to pull the drawworks skid
tight to the supporting structure. Shim first.
After completing all the shimming, torque all tie down bolts to 1400-1500 ft·lbs (for A325
structural bolts).

Before starting maintenance, the maintenance team should read all component
operation and maintenance manuals to become familiar with component requirements.
Refer to the Spare Parts listing, section 11, for the recommended spare parts.
Select suitable lubricants and fluids for the range of operating conditions, in addition to
adjusting maintenance schedules as necessary. Avoid mixing lubricants of different
brands, grades, and/or viscosities.
Operating and maintenance personnel should wear suitable protective clothing and
equipment. Before performing maintenance on or disconnecting any high-pressure
piping or hoses, maintenance personnel should ensure the unit has been bled to zero
pressure. Observe a similar procedure for electrical connections, ensuring electrical
power is locked out before attempting maintenance.
The design of the drawworks is such that some special equipment or tools are needed
for maintenance other than those normally located on a drilling facility. These include:
• a high pressure hand pump (10,000 psi) with adapter for the OEM motor shaft
to pump off the pinion gears
• a 1” square drive 4:1 multiplier
• a 1” square drive torque wrench (600 ft-lbs capacity)
Ensure maintenance crew is aware of and prepared for these requirements before
performing maintenance, as National Oilwell Varco does not provide special equipment
and tools.

To minimize the chances of injury and equipment damage, all personnel should operate
in a safe working area. Ensure all work pieces are adequately and correctly supported
and/or blocked. When maintenance outside of routine servicing is needed, remove the
unit or major component to an area where ample work space is available and a
hydraulic press, overhead crane, bearing pullers, impact tools, etc. are accessible.
A1 Check the oil level a few minutes after the shaft has stopped rotating and the
pumps have been shut off to allow circulating oil to accumulate in the lube oil
tank. Test for and drain any condensation in the oil reservoirs at regular intervals,
especially a few hours after shutdown. If dirt or water is found present in the
drawworks housing and lube tank, drain the lubricant and renew as per
instruction E1.
NOTE: It is not possible to check the lube oil level with the drawworks operating.
The drawworks must be stopped and both lube pumps must be shut off
before checking the lube oil level
www.nov.com
Document No. 9130E099
Page 33
WARNING: Do not fill the hydraulic tank with unfiltered oil. The hydraulic fluid
must have a cleanliness rating of ISO 15/12 (NAS 6) or better. New
oil from a barrel or pail will not meet this cleanliness rating and must
be filtered prior to putting it into the hydraulic tank. The hydraulic
tank is equipped with a filling filter that must be used when filling the
tank. Never fill the tank by pouring the oil from a pail or barrel.
WARNING: Do not fill the hydraulic tank while the drawworks is operating. A low
hydraulic oil level indicates a leak in the system. The operation
should be brought to a stop and the load secured in the slips. The
brakes should be checked to ensure they have not been
contaminated with oil and then the drawworks should be shut off.
The leak should be found and repaired and then the hydraulic tank
should be filled as directed above before continuing operation.
A3 Lube oil pressure is indicated by a gauge in the driller’s cabin (oil pressure
should be approximately 75-150 psi or 517-1034 kPa when the rig is running).

Page 34
Perform the following procedure to set lube oil pressure relief and flow control valves.
Refer to the SSGD-1000 Lubrication Schematic, drawing 9130X059 for this operation.
NOTE: This setting should be done when the oil temperature is approximately
18°C (65°F). Setting these valves at other temperatures will affect the
operating conditions of the drawworks and may result in pump damage or
false alarms.
www.nov.com
Document No. 9130E099
Page 35
A4 Check piping for leaks (oil and hydraulic) - a substantial leak may be indicated by
a pressure drop in the system. The presence of oil in the drawworks skid integral
drip pan indicates an oil leak within the drawworks.
A5 Check work area for cleanliness. A clean work area minimizes the chance of
contaminants entering the machinery, which causes premature component wear.
A6 Check the setting of the hydraulic pressure operating the brake caliper. It should
read 1800 psi. Function test calipers from the driller’s cabin. Ensure all calipers
engage and disengage when activated.
WARNING: Brake caliper operation should be checked at the start of each shift.
B1 Check all safety controls for malfunction. Function test the crown saver system
and drawworks emergency lowering valve.
B2 Check wireline clamp integrity - the wireline must remain securely within the
clamp without slipping. Leave 3” or 4” of rope tail. After the rope has been under
load for a period of time, check the six nuts to ensure tightness. These six nuts
must be torqued to 483 ft·lbs. (Refer to Section 5.7 of manual.)
WARNING: Ensure that the travelling block is secured from falling and that the
brake hydraulic system has been bled off completely. When working
on brakes, brake controls, valves, tubing, hoses, pumps, or any
other brake system component during maintenance/overhaul,
inadvertent release of the brakes may occur resulting in serious
damage to equipment and serious/fatal injuries to personnel.
B3 Inspect pad wear limit and inspect shoe linings. Refer to the National Oilwell
Varco Emergency Disc Brake Caliper manual in Vendor Information section.

B4 Ensure the accumulator bottles on the hydraulic system are pressurized. If not,
check for leaks in the system and that the system is functioning properly.
(Accumulator pre-charge pressure = 1500 psi)
NOTE: Accumulator pre-charge pressure may only be checked after the entire
hydraulic system has been bled off to zero (0) pressure.
B5 Grease end bearings (2 shots) and both main bearings (4 shots each).
B6 Operate all functions of the brake system including emergency lowering system
and verify proper functions.
C1 Inspect electrical wiring: visually inspect control system wiring in junction boxes
and instrument cabinets for cut wires, snags or other accidental damage. Unplug
any in-line disconnects and inspect for oxidation, moisture, and signs of arcing.
Clean as required and return to service.
C2 Check wire rope condition monthly. Also, check wirelines prior to use when they
have been unused for more than a few weeks. Slip and cut any wireline that
exhibits broken wires, a significant reduction in cross sectional area, or increase
in length. Pay particular attention to areas around sheaves or yokes. Breaks
often occur in the core of the line and require close inspection to locate. Replace
any rope having damage resulting in distortion of the rope structure. Wireline
corrosion reduces the metallic areas of a rope, thus weakening it. Proper wireline
lubrication will inhibit corrosion
WARNING: Mineral oil based wireline lubricants must not be used on this
drawworks. Asphalt based lubricants and plastic impregnated wire
ropes are acceptable.
C3 Check the availability and the condition of tools, especially those required for
regular service. Tools should be present and in good condition.

C4 Grease all accessible fittings on the brake caliper with molybdenum rich EP2
grease. If fittings are not accessible, the greasing of these fittings should be
performed at the bi-annual interval (disassemble and clean levers and pins).
C5 Remove, clean and rotate all brake caliper pins. Check for cracks and/or wear.
Apply molybdenum rich grease to all pins prior to reassembly. After reassembly
grease all pins equipped with grease zerks. Remove all excess grease from the
brake calipers and the brake beam.
C6 Check gear oil spray nozzles for blockage and ensure that oil holes are open and
delivering oil to the gears. If oil is not being distributed correctly and evenly,
adjust oil flow according to instruction A3 in this section.

D1 Renew lubricating oil filter at three month intervals. All gear case spray nozzles
should be checked for blockage after filter renewal.
D2 Renew hydraulic oil filter at three month intervals. All the brake system functions
must be checked after filter renewal.
D3 Refer to the National Oilwell Varco Emergency Disc Brake Caliper manual in
Vendor Information section.
D4 Check the breathers on the hydraulic oil and lube oil tanks. Check the gear case
assembly breather. If there is any indication of dirt or oil clogging the breather,
replace the breathers.

Page 39
E1 Change drawworks lube oil: Open the lube oil drain valve and drain oil while the
unit is still warm. Renew air breather filter. Ensure the lube tank is clean before
closing the drain valve and refilling the oil tank to the proper level. Approximate
oil requirement is 757 liters (200 US gal.). Rust and oxidation inhibitors may be
beneficial oil additives. Avoid detergent oils because of their tendency to form an
emulsion in the presence of water.
E2 Inspect lube oil piping; Inspect the lube oil distribution lines leading to each pinion
and the motor mount. The lines should not restrict oil distribution in any way to
the components which require the oil.
E3 Check all foundation and hold-down bolts (refer to the Tightening Torque Guide
in Section 10 of manual).
E4 Check gears for wear. Unevenly worn gears may be due to incorrect oil
distribution. Refer to instruction E5 to test and adjust the oil distribution.
E5 Check gear oil spray nozzles for blockage and ensure that oil holes are open and
delivering oil to the gears. If oil is not being distributed correctly and evenly,
adjust oil flow according to instruction A3 in this section.
E6 Check condition of hydraulic fluid. The fluid must remain free from foreign
contamination.
E7 Check the condition of accumulator bottles every 6 months including the bladder
and valves and piping. Replace bladder if there are leaks or cracks, etc.
E8 Refer to the National Oilwell Varco Emergency Disc Brake Caliper manual in
Vendor Information section.
E9 Torque the taper bushing shafts to 400-600 ft-lbs. Taper bushing lock nuts
should be torqued as tight as possible without damaging the lock nut
significantly. The turn buckle lock nuts should be “hammered” tight as possible.

F1 Refer to the National Oilwell Varco Emergency Disc Brake Caliper manual in
Vendor Information section.
F2 Visually inspect all critical components for signs of wear, distortion, cracks,
mechanical damage, etc. These critical components include brake calipers,
brake mount, hydraulic tubing and hose, lube piping, drum, wireline clamps,
motor mount, gears, pinions, etc.
F3 Check the torque on all fasteners according to the Bolt Torque Charts in Section
10 of this manual.
Before starting a new machine, the operator must grease all parts and fill all reservoirs
with the prescribed lubricants. New units should be drained and refilled with oil after the
first few weeks of operation. Thereafter, it should not be necessary to change oil more
than once every six months except when the oil may have become contaminated by
water or other foreign matter, or when the temperature changes sufficiently to require a
change in the viscosity of the oil being used. The sump should be filled with the
viscosity of oil listed in the following chart:

For many applications, the advantages of using multipurpose grease instead of several
separate grades outweigh the added product cost. Lithium complex soap greases have
been developed and are accepted for their wider operating temperature range and good
water resistance. Use a premium lithium-based multipurpose EP 2 grease (Extreme
Pressure meeting NLGI #2 or National Lubricating Grease Institute grade 2) or
equivalent for all greased components unless otherwise noted.
Where grease fittings are present, apply grease regularly at the fittings until the old
grease starts to seep around the seal, flushing out the used grease along with any
accumulated water and debris. Maintain a coating of grease on all sliding surfaces and
unpainted, machined surfaces for lubrication and corrosion protection.
Where grease fittings are not present and the lubricated component must be
disassembled to replenish the grease (e.g. sealed pillow block), disassemble the
component, remove old lubricant, re-pack with new lubricant, assemble and install the
component. Re-pack all components that lack grease fittings at least once every year.
Remove any exposed grease seepage to minimize dirt accumulation.
There are times when a special type of lubricant is justified. Some of the super premium
greases have excellent low-temperature properties.
Rusting and corrosion of the bearings, etc. is normally not a problem during rig
operation, but may become serious over prolonged inactivity in a damp environment.
Ordinary oils and greases provide moderate corrosion protection, but special
compounds may provide increased corrosion protection.
Applying super premium greases to every fitting in quantities sufficient to flush out most
of the old greases will go a long way towards protecting the equipment from rust and
corrosion during storage. For maximum protection against rust and corrosion during
prolonged storage, it is best not to rely on the oil that was clinging to the parts when the
rig was shut down. Use a compound that is specifically designed and formulated for this
purpose and apply according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
In selecting a special storage lubricant, it is best to use one that does not require any
special cleaning before the rig is run again. There are compounds that will be flushed
away by normal lubrication oil and mix with it harmlessly.

7.1 Parts Fit – General
7.2 Shafts
7.3 Bearings
7.4 Spacers
7.5 Hydraulic System
7.6 Gears
7.7 Hub and Shaft Fits
Economic factors influence the normal overhaul job. When the equipment is in the shop
for repairs, new parts may be installed at a lesser expense than when the equipment is
in service. e.g. If the repair shop does not replace a partially worn bearing at the time of
overhaul and the bearing fails within the first few months of new service, the resultant
down time and emergency repairs incur a much larger cost than replacement at regular
overhaul time.
When replacing parts on a shaft assembly, ensure the new part fits within the tolerance
shown. For assembly or removal of parts that range from 0.000 mm to 0.101 mm
(0.004”) tight, heat to approximately 204°C (400°F). For parts ranging from 0.127 to
0.254 mm (0.005” to 0.01”) tight, heat to approximately 343°C (650°F).
7.2 Shafts
Shafts should also be checked for straightness by supporting the shaft by any anti-
friction means, placed at the position of the main bearings, and turning the shaft.
Straightness is then checked by means of a dial indicator placed at the extreme ends of
the shaft. The total reading of the dial indicator should not exceed 0.10 mm (0.004”). If a
shaft shows greater run out than 0.10 mm (0.004”), a replacement should be
considered. The lack of straightness in drawworks shafting causes vibration, uneven
gear tooth wear, and a generally poor running rig.
All seals are wear and tear items and therefore should be replaced whenever a shaft is
disassembled. Clean all of the oil passages when working in a given area by blowing air
pressure through the oil passages.
www.nov.com
Document No. 9130E099
Page 44
7.3 Bearings
Roller bearings should always be discarded if they show pitting, rust or corrosion,
chipping or spalling off of small particles, excessive internal looseness which indicates
extreme wear, or cracks in rollers or races. In most cases, it will be necessary to heat
the bearing inner race to remove it from the shaft. It will be necessary to heat the inner
race and cool the shaft for re-assembly.
To pull the bearing and / or the inner race, place a "U" puller behind bearing or inner
race. Arrange balance of the pulling mechanism and tighten sufficiently to remove all
slack. Apply heat evenly to the bearing or inner race, while at the same time increasing
tension on the pulling mechanism. DO NOT OVERHEAT. Maximum Temperature:
125°C
The fits of the outer races to the bearing housing range from 0.127 mm (0.005”) tight to
0.102 mm (0.004”) loose. If the outer race is a tight fit it will be necessary to heat the
housing in order to remove it. The bearing must be cool before it can be re-assembled.
When the outer race is a tight fit, arrange the puller mechanism to apply pressure
toward the open end of the housing. Apply heat to the housing and increase pressure
on the puller mechanism at the same time. DO NOT OVERHEAT. Maximum
Temperature: 125°C
7.4 Spacers
To remove a spacer that has shrunk on a shaft, proceed in accordance with instructions
for removing a bearing. To replace, heat the spacer, make sure the shaft is cool, and
proceed the same as for a bearing replacement.
The brake hydraulic system requires that the oil cleanliness be maintained at an ISO
Level of 15/12 (NAS 6) or better. Due to the critical nature of the hydraulic system, the
viscosity of the hydraulic fluid used in this system should not exceed ISO 22.
Consequently, any repairs to the brake hydraulic system should be undertaken with
extreme diligence in the area of cleanliness. Before opening any connections, ports,
lines, etc. in the hydraulic system, the work area should be thoroughly cleaned. Any
openings made in the system should be plugged or blinded immediately. Ensure that
the appropriate plugs, caps and blinds are in hand prior to any disassembly.
www.nov.com
Document No. 9130E099
Page 45
Upon completion of any major repairs, the entire system should be flushed to ensure no
contamination of hydraulic oil occurs. Oil samples should be analyzed on a regular
basis to monitor the system cleanliness.
The brake hydraulic system uses two pressure reducing relieving valves. The first is to
reduce the main system pressure, from 3,000 psi to 1,800 psi. The second pressure
reducing relieving valve is the emergency lowering and the pressure relieving functions
of the valve must be verified before the valve is put into service.
The pressure compensating pump in the brake hydraulic system operates at less than
their maximum displacement. These pumps are set at the factory to have a maximum
flow of approximately 2 gpm. After overhaul or if a new pump is installed, the volume
stop setting must be verified. This is accomplished by ensuring that the electric motor is
not over loaded. This 5 HP motor must draw less than 6.4 Amps of current with a 480
Volt supply.
The main hydraulic system relief must be set to relieve at a pressure not less than 3,150
psi and not more than 3,300 psi.
Perform the following procedure to set the pressure compensator; refer to the Brake
Hydraulic Schematic, item X, drawing 9130X058.
www.nov.com
Document No. 9130E099
Page 46
NOTE: The system will have to be bleed off by opening one of the bleeder valves
on the accumulator bottles to reduce the system pressure. Leave the
bleeder valve open just slightly (1/2 turn or so).
11. This pump is now set correctly. Check to ensure the pump compensator is higher
than the PLC pump pressure shut off setting. Adjust the pump or PLC to suit. The
final system pressure as controlled by the PLC should not exceed 3,000 psi.
12. Adjust the second pump compensator pressure setting.

The maximum volume stop on the pumps should be set at the factory so the pumps
produce 2 gpm (US). It is relatively simple to ensure if this has been done. Refer to the
Brake Hydraulic Schematic, item X, drawing 9130X059 for the following procedure.
1. Bleed all pressure from the hydraulic system by opening the bleed off valves on the
accumulator bottles.
2. Start one pump and record the time it takes for the system to reach the operating
pressure of 3,000 psi. The accumulator bottles hold 5 gallons of oil at 3,000 psi.
Therefore, the necessary time should be 2 ½ minutes to reach 3,000 psi.
3. If the time to charge is too short or too long, reduce the flow by adjusting the
maximum volume stop. Acceptable time would be between 2 minutes and 15 seconds
and 2 minutes and 45 seconds. Refer to the hydraulic pump manual for directions on
adjusting the maximum volume stop.
4. Check the current draw of power by the motor to ensure it is within the operating
parameters listed on the motor name plate.
NOTE: DO NOT change the maximum volume setting or else the electric motor
could be overloaded!
7.6 Gears
The teeth of almost all gears are surface hardened. This hardening is effective to a
depth of approximately 1.778-2.286 mm (0.070” to 0.090”). When the gear teeth
become worn to a depth near 1.778 mm (0.070”), the rate of wear will accelerate. The
amount of wear may be determined by visual inspection. If inspection shows the amount
of wear to be near 1.778 mm (0.070”), the gear should be replaced at the time of
overhaul.
NOTE: The gears in this drawworks have very hard teeth. Wear rates are very low
with proper lubrication.

If a tapped hole is not provided in the gear hub, it will be necessary to pull the gear
without first removing the key. It is recommended the shaft be cooled with dry ice or
liquid nitrogen to a temperature of approximately -10°C (15°F) prior to attempting to
remove the gear with heat. Insert puller studs through openings between gear spokes
180° apart. Place steel plates and nuts on stud ends extended through the openings.
Arrange balance of pulling mechanism and tighten only enough to remove any slack.
Apply heat evenly and as near to the hub as possible while increasing tension with the
puller at the same time.
In some cases, the hubs will have two tapped holes in the end so that the puller may be
screwed in. In other cases where neither spokes nor tapped holes are available for
utilization of puller studs, it will be necessary to use a "strongback" or "U" plate behind
the gear and secure the puller studs to it.
Proceed to remove the gear as described above. To replace the gear, first make sure
the shaft is cooled to a temperature of approximately -10°C (15°F) with dry ice or liquid
nitrogen. Heat the gear to approximately 149°C (300°F). Verify the keyways in the shaft
and gear are aligned before the gear tightens on the shaft. Insert key prior to gear
installation.
www.nov.com
Document No. 9130E099
Page 49
CAUTION: Excess heat at the hub and attempting to pull the gear with a chain
attached to the outer rim, powered by a jack on the end of the shaft,
will bend the gear. Gears with shrink fits are very difficult to
remove. This should only be attempted in a shop where a hydraulic
press is available.
If the gear is being removed for salvaging and installing on a new shaft, cut the shaft
near the gear and machine part of the metal from the shaft under the gear. Heat the
gear and press out "Dutchman".
If purpose of removal is to replace the gear with a new one, it is advisable to machine or
torch cut the old gear to remove it. Cool the shaft to a temperature of approximately –
10°C (15°F) with dry ice or liquid nitrogen, and then heat the new gear to 149°C
(300°F), and assemble on the shaft.
NOTE: When a shaft assembly is disassembled for any reason, be sure that
passages for admission of oil are thoroughly cleaned.

quickly remove the 25-ton jack and insert the 50-ton jack.
Increase the pressure on the 50-ton jack until the gear moves
into position. Hold at least 1,000 psi on the jack until the gear
and the shaft are close to room temperature.
26. After the drumshaft and gear temperatures have returned to near room
temperature, set up to measure the gear diameter and the side run-out of gear.
27. Measure the run-out of both sides of the gear ring and record.
28. If the run-out of the gear exceeds 0.050”, contact National Oilwell Varco to
determine if the warping is acceptable. If no warping is detected, continue with
the remaining drawworks assembly.
29. Reverse the above procedure to remove the gear.

For example, if we have a 215.9 mm (8.500") diameter bore hub which has a 0.2032
mm (0.008") interference fit with the shaft, and we wish to have 0.2540 mm (0.010")
clearance while assembling the hub over the shaft, the total bore expansion needed will
be 0.4572 mm (0.018"). Therefore:
E = 0.4572
B = 215.9
let Tr = 21.1°C (70°F)

CAUTION: Hardened parts such as bearing races should not be heated to over
204 - 232°C (400 - 450°F), since their hardness might be affected.
Heat should be applied carefully and evenly to prevent distortion.
The general rule for the average interference used in cylindrical fits
is as follows:
The actual fit will have plus or minus tolerance depending on the shaft and bore
tolerances used in manufacture.
Overhung pinions, etc. are often made with tapered shaft fits for convenience of
assembly and disassembly. The tapers used on National Oilwell Varco drawworks are
normally made to 1.250" diameter per foot of length of engagement or 10.4167 mm
diameter per 100 mm. In many cases, the hub must be shimmed against an adjacent
bearing spacer. Care must be taken to ensure that the shims do not interfere with
drawing the hub up tight on the taper.

Page 56
NOTE: The end wall does not need to be removed completely to change the
motors. The wall will have to be leaned back approximately 10 to 15° from
vertical to allow removal of the motor mount from the drum shaft.
2. On the A-side of the drawworks, remove motor #1 (on the top of drawworks).
Remove all the bolts attaching it to the support frame. Ensure all cables and
connections are removed from the motor.
3. Record shim location so they may be placed in the same location upon reassembly.
4. Unbolt the torque arm turnbuckle (#8) off the torque arm and loosen the taper
bushing shaft (#9) so that the arms swing out to the side. Refer to the Drawworks
Torque Arm Assembly, drawing 9130A126. Repeat this step for the B-side of the
drawworks - refer to the Two Motor Torque Arm Assembly, drawing 9130A343.
5. Lock the assembly in place with tie-downs to the torque arm, so that when the
turnbuckles are removed, the assembly will stay in place.
WARNING: Ensure the tie-downs are strong enough to hold the assembly in
place after the motors is removed. The assembly will want to move
after each motor is removed.

6. Spin the assembly so that the next motor is at the top of the frame. Lock the
assembly in place with tie-downs and remove the motor.
7. Repeat step 6 until all of the motors have been removed from the same end of the
shaft. On the B-side of the drawworks, spin the assembly 45° to access motor #4
then 180° to access motor #5.
8. Remove the shaft end support and the pedestal (#4) - drawing 9130A126.
9. Remove endplates, (#15) and unbolt the retainer plates (#14) –drawing 9130A250.
10. Unbolt gear case locking plates (#3, 5) – drawing 9130A135. Remove all bolts.
11. Heat the spherical bearings (E) and remove the entire motor mount – 9130A250.
12. Remove the motor support frame (item 4), along with bearings (F, E) – 9130A250.
13. Remove spacers (#9, 10), then remove gear (# 23) and spacers (# 11) – 9130A250.
14. Starting at step 4, repeat all steps to remove the torque arm, gears and spacers for
the B-side of the drawworks.
15. Remove the bolts connecting the torque arm bearing housing (#2 on 9130A126,
and #3 on 9130A343) from the support braces.
16. Remove bolts (A) around main bearing housings – 9130A250. Remove drumshaft.
17. Reverse the above procedure to re-install. When re-assembling, tighten all bolts as
per the Bolt Torque Chart in the next section. Refer to the Drum Shaft End
Alignment Procedure, Section 8.6, before re-installing the motors.
NOTE: DO NOT tighten torque arms when re-installing the shaft. Adjust the single
turnbuckle torque arm to suit the equalizer beam. They are used to handle
the torque (tension) from the motors. If they are tightened down, only one
arm would be used as support and the other arm would not be used.

1. Prior to reinstalling the turnbuckles, ensure the bolt group A, B, C, E & F are torqued
correctly. (Refer to Section 10 of this manual for the appropriate torque values.)
2. Pin the lower end of the turnbuckle or the steady torque arm assembly (item 13 & 8)
into the base lug (item 11) with taper bushing shaft (item 9). Ensure Anti-Seize
compound is applied to the threads of the taper bushing shaft prior to threading it
into the torque arm assembly.
3. After the taper bushing shaft is dead ended into the clevis, use the SKF’s lock
washer and lock nut to seat the taper bushing (item 10) between the bushing shaft
and the clevis ID as shown in the diagram. Ensure the lock nut is snugged against
the taper bushing.
4. Raise the free end of the steady torque arm assembly. Align with the attachment
point of the torque arm assembly (item 1).
5. Pin the upper end of the steady torque arm (item 13) into the torque arm assembly
(item 1) with taper bushing shaft (item 9). Ensure the taper bushing shaft is fully
seated by tightening the SKF lock washer until it is snug.
6. Level the torque arm assembly with the turnbuckle collar.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 4 with the other turnbuckle assemblies.
8. Ensure all four SKF’s lock nuts are torqued against the taper bushings with the
SKF’s hook wrench (HN-15). Bend locking pin of washers into the lock nuts’ slots.
9. Perform a final check on the levelness of the torque arm after both sets of
turnbuckles are secured. Do not adjust the collar to the point that any one of the
turnbuckles is putting a compressive force into the torque arm assembly. In
order for the torque arm assembly to transfer the drum torque properly in either
rotation direction, the torque arm assembly needs to float over the two turnbuckles
assemblies.
10. Secure the turnbuckle lock nut (item 7) to a snug tight condition. At this point, an
additional 1/3 turn of the lock nut is required to secure the adjusting collar.
NOTE: DO NOT tighten the turnbuckle (Dwg. 9130A343, Item #8) when
reinstalling the drum shaft. Adjust the turnbuckle to suit the equalizer tube
(Item #1) after installing the steady torque arm (Item #13). The assembly
transfers the torque from the motors to the skid. If the turnbuckle is
tightened after it is installed, it will not share torque load with the steady
torque arm (Item #13). In this situation the turnbuckle will be overloaded.

The Lebus Grooving installed on the drawworks drum that is fabricated from a high yield
strength alloy steel plate and is considered a primary structural component. Regardless
of the hook load rating of the drawworks, the fabrication and shop notes on drawing
9130F236 (Lebus Grooving Installation Detail) should be used with the following
installation instructions.
1. Only a qualified welder should perform the required weldment. Ensure a National
Oilwell Varco approved weld procedure is available. Due to the high yield strength
of the material, there are restrictions on the preheat and the maximum interpass
temperatures during welding.
2. Measure the drum diameter and width carefully after the worn sleeve is removed.
3. Measure the width of the new sleeve. It should be approximately 1/16” smaller than
the drum width for clearance reasons.
4. Place the “entry” half of the sleeve in place. A small portion of the drill line can be
used to aid this alignment.
5. Position the sleeve half around the drum to suit. Keep the clearance gaps at the
drum flange equal at each flange especially at the split lines.
6. Using chain(s) and jack(s), force the sleeve down tight against the drum barrel in the
area to be welded. Using E8018 welding rod, begin tack welding the sleeve half
starting with the holes furthest away from the split lines and working towards the split
in either direction moving the jack as you go.
NOTE: The tapped holes in the sleeve are for lifting eyes and are not to be
welded. Furthermore, they are not intended for lifting the drum.
WARNING: Drum material is high strength quench and tempered steel. Do not
weld on these parts without assistance from National Oilwell Varco.
Special weld procedures are required.
7. Weld both edges of the first half split to the drum with a 5/8” fillet weld before
installing the second half.
8. Position the second half so the groove lands line up with each other. Equalize the
clearance gap at the flanges; equalize the split line gap between the sleeve halves.
9. Jack down the sleeve half tight against the drum in the area to be welded. Start with
the holes furthest from the split lines and plug weld the holes same as the first half.
10. Weld all plug holes flush to the root diameter.
11. Weld the sleeve halves together at the split lines and the hole opening at rope entry.
12. Grind the grooves smooth in all the welded areas. There should be no welding of the
sleeve around the flanges.
13. Magnetic particles inspection (MPI) shall be performed to all accessible welds.

Prior to installing any of the motor mounts or motors on to the drum shaft, measure the
height of drum shaft above the top of the skid beam.
1. Set up the measuring jig fixture on top of the skid beams, directly underneath the
location of the 2” diameter drain hole in the motor mount housing.
2. Permanently mark the location of the jig so it may be reinstalled at a later time in
exactly the same location.
3. Using an inside micrometer, measure the distance from the top of the measuring jig
to the underside of the drum shaft. Record the measurement below.
4. Repeat the above for the other end of the drum shaft.
5. Once all components (except motors) have been installed on the shaft including the
end bearing and end bearing support, re-measure the drum shaft height. The shaft is
accessed through the 2” drain hole in the motor mount housing.
6. Adjust shims on end bearing support until the shaft is at the same height as it was
prior to installation of the motor mounts.
7. Record the final shaft height below.

1. Check gear wobble (side run-out). Rotate gear 360°. Total indicator reading should
be 0.050” or less.
2. Install AC motor with pinion on to the motor mount. Ensure motor has been shimmed
up with approximately 0.050” of shims.
3. Check backlash of gears using dial indicator on the tooth face of the pinion or with
feeler gauges. Acceptable backlash is 0.025”/0.035”. Backlash must be checked in 4
positions at roughly 90° intervals. Adjust motor shim to obtain the desired backlash.
4. Apply red lead paint to gear teeth.
5. Apply bluing paste to the pinion teeth.
6. Rotate pinion to mark gear with bluing paste. Check indication of tooth contact.
Contact mark should cover a minimum of 75% (or 5.25 * 0.75 = 3.9375”) of the gear
tooth face. The contact area should be approximately centred on the gear. There
should be no contact at the edge of the gear tooth.
NOTE: Contact area is load dependent and will also vary with the thickness of the
applied bluing paste.
7. Adjust the motor angle (front to back and/or side to side to adjust the contact area as
required.
8. Repeat this for each motor.
9. Record all measurements below.
www.nov.com
Document No. 9130E099
Page 63
The only sure method for determining the actual tooth contact is to load the gears and look
at the resulting “loaded” tooth contact pattern. To do this, follow the procedure below after
performing the procedure above.
1. Hang off the traveling block and remove the drill line from the drawworks drum.
2. Remove the access covers on the pinion(s) and the gear(s).
3. Using a solvent cleaner (such as Electrosol) clean the exposed pinion and gear teeth
of “all” oil and oil film. The teeth must be perfectly clean or the blue layout fluid will not
adhere to the teeth and will be washed off by the oil instead of being worn off by the
tooth contact.
4. Apply a thin film of Machinists Blue layout fluid (quick drying aerosol) to the pinion and
gear teeth.
5. Allow the layout fluid to dry for 10 -15 minutes.
6. Rotate the gear and pinion to expose unpainted teeth.
7. Repeat steps 2, 3 & 4 on the new teeth.
8. Repeat until all the pinion and gear teeth have been painted and dried.
9. Set AC drive to limit motor torque to no more than 100% of continuous motor rating.
10. Set the AC drive/control system to power one motor only.
11. Start all auxiliary functions on the drawworks (i.e. lube pump and brake HPU)
12. Check the oil flow to the gears.
13. Reinstall the access covers.
14. Set up the drawworks so the emergency lowering valve is functioning and the disc
brakes can be applied manually.
15. Start the drawworks and rotate the drum at 8 to 10 rpm.
16. Using the emergency lowering valve, apply the disc brakes very slowly until the drum
stops and then release the brakes.
17. Continue to slowly apply and release the brakes for approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
Monitor the brake disc temperature to ensure it does not exceed 100°C (212°F). If the
brake disc overheats, stop the process and cool the brake disc before proceeding.
18. Stop. Shut off the drawworks and all auxiliaries.
19. Remove the access cover for the pinion that was just run.
20. Examine the tooth contact pattern around the pinion and around the gear.
21. The pattern on the bull gear teeth should be the same all the way around the Bull gear.
If this is the case the bull gear is ok and does not need to be examined further.
22. The pattern on the pinion needs to be examined carefully. The pattern indicates
whether the motor is aligned properly or not and indicates what to do to move the
motor to correct the contact pattern.
www.nov.com
Document No. 9130E099
Page 64
23. Check the pinion tooth pattern to see if it is the same on both sides of the teeth. If it is
not the same on both sides of the teeth the pinion teeth are not straight to the bull gear.
24. Check to see where the contact is along the teeth. A perfect pattern would be in the
center of the tooth with no contact on either end of the tooth.
Note: The shaded area represents the blue machinist’s layout fluid that has not been
worn off. The blue shows where the teeth have not made contact.
www.nov.com
Document No. 9130E099
Page 65
25 Adjust the motor position to achieve the perfect tooth contact pattern
NOTE: When adjusting the motor it is important to recognize the orientation of the
motor/pinion to the gear.
NOTE: Small backlash is better than large backlash, but under no circumstances
should the backlash be less than 0.020”.
27 Once the adjustment is complete clean and repaint the pinion gear.
28 Repeat steps 12 to 24 until an acceptable tooth contact pattern is observed.
NOTE: The contact pattern on the lowering side does not need to be as perfect as the
hoisting side of the teeth. The lowering side of the teeth will never be loaded
during operation.
NOTE: The tooth contact must exceed 75% of the tooth width minimum. It is
preferable that the tooth contact area be in the 90% range. It should appear
that the remaining paint would wear off under higher loads. This is evident if
the remaining blue paint is “blotchy”. Typically the remaining blue paint will
always be at the drum end of the pinion teeth. The pattern shown below is an
acceptable pattern.
www.nov.com
Document No. 9130E099
Page 66
29 Once an acceptable tooth contact is obtained, check the backlash in four places
around the gear. Ensure all readings are within the range 0.020” to 0.035”. Large
variations in the backlash readings indicate the bull gear is warped.
30 Repeat for remaining motors.
31 Upon completion of all motors, ensure that all covers have been properly replaced and
sealed and that no parts, rags or tools have been left inside the gear case.
When removing a hub, use a suitable puller. This is a simple, efficient hydraulic puller
employing the float removal. A complete unit consists of a pump kit, a backing plate, an
adapter, a felt ring, and a bolt.
NOTE: Do not heat the hub before pulling it, and do not use steel wedges
between the hub and bearing cap.
1. Remove the setscrew plug from the tapped hole in the end of the shaft.
2. Screw the backing plate, with felt ring in place, to the end of the shaft as tight as
possible by hand.
3. Back off the backing plate to line up the slot with the tapped hole in the end of the
shaft. This is to provide sufficient clearance for the hub to pop off.
4. Screw the pressure-fitting adapter into the hole in shaft until it seats at the bottom.
5. Attach the pump by screwing the connector on one end of the pressure tube into the
adapter, and the other end into the pump.
6. Close the hand relief valve and work the pump handle to force oil into the groove in
the armature shaft under the hub. When sufficient pressure has been built up, the
hub will pop off the shaft and be stopped by the felt washer and backing plate.
NOTE: The capacity of the pump is 40,000 psi. It holds sufficient oil to remove
eight to ten hubs; check at each use. Periodically, remove the filling plug
and refill with SAE-10 lubricating oil.
www.nov.com
Document No. 9130E099
Page 67
7. Open the relief valve, disconnect the pump from adapter, remove the adapter and
backing plate from the shaft, and lift off the hub. Reinsert the plug to prevent
clogging the hole.
To prevent a pinion from slipping, it should have at least 75% fit on the shaft; i.e., at
least 75% of the tapered bore of the pinion should be in contact with the tapered fit on
the shaft. Before mounting a pinion, check and correct the fit as follows:
1. Lightly cover the bore of the pinion with a bluing compound such as Prussian Blue.
2. Snap the cold pinion forcefully onto the shaft.
3. Mark the relative angular position of pinion with respect to the shaft.
4. Remove the pinion from the shaft. A convenient method of removal is by the use of
two finely tapered steel wedges (hardened and ground), which are carefully driven
between the pinion and the bearing outer sleeve on the shaft.
5. Important! Inspect the taper fit of the shaft; bluing of the pinion bore should
now show on the shaft. If at least 75% of shaft surface shows traces of bluing, the
fit is satisfactory. If, however, only a few spots of bluing show on the shaft, the fit is
not satisfactory.
6. Dress down the blue spots on the shaft very lightly with a fine emery cloth such as
No. 400A Triemite.
7. Blue the pinion bore again (see Step 1) and repeat Steps 2, 4, 5, and 6. Be sure to
place the pinion onto the shaft in the same position as marked.
8. Generally, the fit will be improved, but the foregoing procedure may have to be
repeated several times to obtain 75% fit.
9. Under no circumstances, use a lapping compound since lapping will produce a
shoulder at the large end of the tapered fit. A shoulder will prevent a perfect fit when
the pinion is mounted hot; i.e., when it is mounted in the advanced position.
10. After a good fit has been obtained, clean the shaft and pinion bore thoroughly to
remove all bluing, oil or grease. Then mount the pinion.
CAUTION: Minimum shaft to pinion fit is 75%. It is preferable for this fit to be 90-
95% contact cold. Poor fits will make removal of the pinion difficult
and may result in the pinion coming off the motor shaft and severely
damaging the drawworks.

P/N 9130D299 pinions are to be installed with an advance of 0.085” to 0.090”. The
advance must never exceed 0.095”.
CAUTION: PST fluid contains a small percent of alcohol, giving it a low flash
point. Keep it away from open flame.
NOTE: The towel should not be wet enough to cause dripping or runs. If runs or
drips are present, the PST fluid will dry out too heavy and must be cleaned
off with MEK.
1. Remove the pinion from the shaft. Wet a Scott No. 150 towel with PST fluid.
2. Wipe the PST Fluid onto the pinion in an even coat.
3. Let the PST fluid dry; DO NOT wipe off. A barely visible white haze will be present
on the surface.
CAUTION: Do not use an oil bath to heat the pinion; this will result in slipped
pinion. Use an oven or slow induction heater, 8 minutes or longer.
4. Place the pinion in an oven. Heat to the required temperature specified below.
Carefully monitor the pinion temperature with a pyrometer.
DO NOT overheat. Refer to the following method of calculating pinion gear temperature.
CAUTION: Temperature of the pinions or the gear must not exceed 210°C
(410°F) as such temperatures will anneal the metal and cause an
excessive rate of wear.
5. Several minutes before the pinion gear reaches the specified temperature, wipe the
shaft fit with a clean Scott No. 150, C-Fold towel, dampened with MEK. Let it dry.
www.nov.com
Document No. 9130E099
Page 69
6. Apply PST fluid with another Scott No. 150 towel to the shaft taper avoiding drips or
runs. Watch the underside of the shaft; drips or runs, if present, will be noticed first.
Let the PST fluid dry. DO NOT wipe off. A very light, even white haze should be
visible. Cover with a clean towel.
WARNING: Heat resistant gloves must be worn while handling hot pinion to
prevent physical injury.
8. Remove the towel from the shaft and apply the pinion to the shaft, in line with the
chalk marks, with a firm snap. Pinion must be applied within 10 seconds after it is
removed from the oven; otherwise, it will cool and the proper advance may not be
maintained.
NOTE: The pinion gear must be applied with a firm snap. The PST fluid on the
shaft and pinion bore impedes “sliding” of the pinion; this tends to limit the
advance.
9. When the pinion gear and shaft have cooled to room temperature, measure the hot
advance position.

9 TROUBLESHOOTING
9.1 Equipment Fault Symptoms and Causes
Assuming the drawworks equipment is properly installed and operated, and undergoes
routine maintenance and change-out, little or no trouble should be expected from the
equipment. Because the symptoms of a failed or worn component may differ with the
equipment operating conditions, observe those conditions (e.g. load/no load, braking,
etc.) which best indicate the symptoms. Understanding the schematic drawings may be
helpful for isolating faults related to the controls or lubrication systems. Where possible,
use other means to verify operation or fault conditions (e.g. pressure gauges for
hydraulics). Use the following table as a guide for fault diagnosis:

With any tensioning method of making connections, it is important to install bolts in all
holes of the connection and bring them to a snug-tight condition to compact the joint.
Tightening should begin at the most rigidly fixed or stiffest point and progress toward the
free edges both in the initial snugging-up and in the final tightening.
Equipment consistency and reliability depends on assuring that the joint is well
compacted and that all bolts at a joint are at a snug-tight condition prior to application of
the final required partial turn. It is critical that the element not turned in tightening must be
prevented from rotating while the required degree of turn is applied to the turned element.
a Nut rotation is relative to bolt regardless of the element (nut or bolt) being turned. For bolts installed by
1/2 turn and less, tolerance is ± 30°; for bolts installed by 2/3 turn and more, tolerance is ± 45°.
b Applicable only on connection in which all materials within the grip of the bolt are steel.
c No research has been performed by AISC to establish the turn-of-nut values for bolt lengths exceeding
12 diameters. Therefore, the required rotation must be established by actual test in a suitable tension
measuring device that simulates conditions of solidly fitted steel.

CAUTION
All operations must be carried out by appropriately trained
personnel. For installation and maintenance instructions, refer this
book thoroughly or consult the supplier, if in doubt.
1. Never switch on power supply with any of the inspection covers,
gland plate, sealing box open or loose, when the motor is in a
hazardous area.
2. Ensure the gap of all the joints is less than 0.1 mm in the event of
refitting any opened cover. Use a filler gauge to check the gap.
3. Use of gaskets at joints where it is not originally provided is not
permitted.
4. Use spring washers where originally provided.
5. Use fastners of same size and type as provided originally.
6. Excessive force should not be used for tightening the bolts,
screws. This may lead to slippage of threads leading to
undesired gaps at joints. In case of blind tapped holes clean
the dirt at the bottom of hole before putting the screw.
7. Never apply putty or hardening compound at the joints where
originally not provided to make it weather proof. Before
replacing a cover the flange should be cleaned & lightly
greased. Do not allow the cover joints to be rusted.
8. In terminal box, the terminal nuts are of special design and are
made of brass. Do not replace them with standard nuts. This will
lead to sparking / excessive heating and may cause explosion
hazard.
9. Never allow the bearings to run dry or with excessive noise. This
may lead to bearing seizer followed by sparks coming out of
bearings housing, which may create explosion hazards. For
replenishing grease in the greasable bearings use the
recommended grease and follow the regreasing intervals
mentioned on Nameplate. Replace bad bearings in time.
10. If any of the components of the motor needs to be replaced,
replace by correct spare brought from the company. Never
use any fabricated or built up parts, which is not of original
design, to avoid violating requirements of the flameproofness.

30% of horizontal vibration level at the bearing housing)
RUNNING ON LOAD :
1. Ensure rated voltage at the motor terminal during
startup and check starting time within designed limit.
(Any normal application, the time required will not be
more than 5 sec. at DOL. For high inertia load the
starting time is longer but special design is required
to cater this. For star/delta & reduced voltage starter
the time will be longer than that in DOL). Refer to
Crompton Greaves in case of doubt.
2. Ensure Full Load Currents are balance in all phases
(Maxm. unbalance 8% corresponding to 1% unbalance
of voltage) and the value is within Nameplate Data.
In case of pulsating load we recommend the
maximum current to be within Nameplate value.

Reference number which will be found on the Nameplate.
Please use only genuine spares.
HAZARDOUS AREAS :
If motor is marked with ''Ex'' symbol, special conditions apply.
Refer appropriate installation manual and relevant standards.
All operations are to be carried out by appropriately trained
personnel.
OPERATING & MAINTENANCE TIPS
(ALSO REFER IS : 900 - 1992)
C R O M P TO N G R E AV E S M o t o r s h a v e b e e n d e s i g n e d,
manufactured and tested to a high standard of excellence.
Motors conform to relevant Indian standards as given on the
name plate.
These motors are sound in design and robust in construction and
will give satisfactory service with correct installation and normal
routine maintenance.
SITE :
- Check for proper ventilation. TEFC Motors should be provided
with at least 2'' gap between fan cover and nearest barrier.
- Install DP Motors at a clean dry place.
- Check for ambient conditions, if special treatment on motor
is provided for adverse ambient.
- Ensure passages in between ribs in TEFC Motors are properly
cleaned.
FOUNDATION :
The foundation of the motor should be preferably of concrete, or
structural steel, and must be sufficiently rigid to minimize
vibrations and to maintain alignment between the motor and the
load. Normally a mixture of four parts of stone and two parts of
sand and one part of cement by volume is suitable.
STARTING :
Squirrel Cage Motors are suitable for DOL, Star/Delta or Auto
Transformer Starting.
Slipring motors should be started by stator / rotor starter with
suitable external resistance in rotor circuit which should be cut off
gradually when motor picks up speed.
- In case of star/delta starter, put to `Delta' when the motor
picks up fully in `STAR' position.
- While operating on load & the motor is hot, the motor is
suitable for 2 starts in one hour, unless it is designed for higher
number of starts.
- In case of Slipring Starters, ensure the current and voltage of
the starter are same as specified on the motor name plate
(RV & RA)
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE :
Motor should be kept clean and free from oil, dust and moisture.
Care should be taken to see that ventilation passages are not
blocked. The earthing conductor should be regularly inspected
and checked for continuity. The insulation resistance of stator and
rotor windings should be checked regularly between respective
terminals and the frame.
In case of slipring motors, carbon dust should be blown out
regularly from sliprings and brushes. The pressure on brushes and
wear out should be checked.
BEARINGS :
The bearings marked 'ZZ' 0r '2RS' are sealed for life and require no
lubrication.
For greased bearings :
1. Check relubrication interval on name plate. The regreasing
interval should be shortened for high ambient temperature,
presence of corrosive vapours or extreme level of
contamination.
2. For replenishing fresh grease in the bearing :
- Quantity of grease to be filled in bearing
(in gms.) = Bearing bore dia.
- Fill 1/3rd of bearing cover cavities with grease.
Recommended grease is Servogem 2 of M/s. IOCL, or MP2 of
M/s. Bharat Petroleum or AP2 of CASTROL. MIXING OF DIFFERENT
GREASE SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
While removing the bearings from the shaft, use properly
designed draw-off tackle or puller to hold the bearing preferably
at inner race. While pulling out the bearing, rotate the bearing to
avoid damages if the bearing is intended to be used again.
Bearing should be refitted on shaft after heating upto
approximately 900C and by sliping on to the shaft.
SLIPRING/BRUSHGEAR :
Size of brushes on the Slipring motors are as below
FRAME a X t X r (Dimensions in mm)
250 16 X 20 X 30 a - Axial width
280 & 315 20 X 40 X 28 t - Thickness
r - Radial width
(* Radial width should not be allowed to wear below 15 mm
length).
- If Slipring surface is not smooth, smoothen with fine glass
paper
(DO NOT USE EMERY-CLOTH).
- Brushes should be free in holder, recommended brush
pressure is 0.2 KG/SQ.CM. (t X a)
- Ensure that Slipring and Brushes are free from oil and Dust.
Blow out carbon dust from Sliprings and brushes periodically.
- Use brush grade M15E of Assam Carbon or BE22 of Electro
Carbonium.
- For new brushes proper brading is to be done with sand
paper, so that curvatures of brushes and slipring are perfectly
matched.
NOTE :
In case of the Non-standard motors, wherever necessary, special
instructions will be provided.

Other Products from HYDAC’s Filtration Line
Filtration Solutions For Mobile Equipment
Although there is great diversity in mobile equipment designs, the common demand in
the industry for improved performance has resulted in systems growing in complexity
and cost. Precision hydraulic components – variable displacement pumps and motors,
load control valves, and proportional controls – are increasingly applied to enhance
machine power, speed and versatility. Higher operating pressures – in excess of 6,000
psi – are increasing in usage in order to generate higher force and torque from a smaller
and lighter package. As fluid power systems are built to function more precisely at
higher pressures, protection against wear and malfunction becomes vital. HYDAC’s
range of filtration products are designed to provide the necessary level of protection to
maintain the efficiency, useful life and safety of high performance fluid power systems.

system doesn’t have a HYDAC filter assembly, it doesn’t mean that you cannot
benefit from our Betamicron® Element technology. The high beta ratios and leading
dirt holding capacities of these elements extend service life and provide a greater
price to maintenance cost ratio than elements from other manufacturers.

MAINTENANCE
Inspect the pad gap with the emergency brake released. The total
gap can be measured by pushing one shoe of the caliper assembly
against the disc. The total gap can be measured between the
opposite shoe and the disc. Adjust the caliper assembly whenever
the total gap is greater than the maximum gap given in the
Adjustment Specifications.
Inspect the thickness of each brake pad when inspecting the Service
Brake Caliper Assemblies. Replace the pads when any portion of the
pad is thinner than the minimum thickness given in the Adjustment
Specification.
Page 4
EPL-1829
MAINTENANCE (continued)
Adjust the caliper assembly whenever the total gap exceeds the
maximum given in the Adjustment Specifications. Adjust pad gap
while the brakes are released and the Emergency Brake Cylinder is
fully retracted (pressurized). Remove the lockwire from the four
1/2 inch capscrews in the end plate of the cylinder. Remove the
capscrews and the two adjusting nut locks from the cylinder. Rotate
the adjusting nut using a 1/2 inch diameter rod in any of the eight
holes on the outside of the adjusting nut. Adjust until the total
gap between both pads and the disc is as specified in the adjustment
specifications.
Check the amount that the back of the adjusting eye extends from the
face of the adjusting nut. If it exceeds the amount given in the
Adjustment Specifications the brake pads must be replaced.
If the amount the adjusting eye extends from the adjusting nut does
not exceed the adjustment specifications, then reinstall the
adjusting lock nuts. Reinstall the four 1/2 inch capscrews, tighten
and lockwire in place.
PAD REPLACEMENT
Remove the pull pins and pivot pins necessary to remove the brake
shoes from the caliper assembly. Remove the screws and nuts that
hold the pad to the shoe and dispose of them.
Use new hardware to replace the pad with one that has the same part
number shown in the Adjustment Specifications for the Service Brake
Caliper Assembly. Torque the pad nuts to 20-22 foot-pounds. After
one hour check the torque on nuts and retorque to 12 foot-pounds if
required.
Page 5
EPL-1829
MAINTENANCE (continued)
Inspect all brake components while removed for replacing the pad.
1. Pad wear should be even for all pads. If any pad or set of
pads shows excessive wear, investigate to find the cause.
Fill the two pockets in the bushings of each arm with grease. Apply
grease to all pivot pins and bushings. Reassemble the caliper
assembly. If the Emergency Brake Cylinder has been removed it must
be reinstalled with the 1/8-inch pipe plug at the top. Adjust each
caliper assembly for total pad gap as described in the Adjustment
Specifications.
Remove the eight nuts from the rod studs on the cylinder. The
cylinder springs are under a high compressive force. Back off the
eight nuts as a group, turning each one only a small amount at a
time. Back off the nuts in a criss- cross pattern so that the nuts
on one side of the cylinder are not loosened ahead of the others.
Once the nuts are removed the spring compression is released and the
end plate may be lifted off the cylinder body.
Page 6
EPL-1829
MAINTENANCE (continued)
If the studs have been removed from the end plate, lubricate the
threads, reinstall and torque to 105 ft-lbs (142 Nm)(Lub). Place
the end plate with the studs so that the studs face up. Lubricate
all seals with hydraulic fluid before installing them. Put the
cylinder shell on the end plate with the O- ring facing the end
plate. Install the piston and seal in the shell. Put both sets of
disc springs on the piston. The disc springs must be installed with
the dished sides of adjacent springs alternating as shown on the
cylinder assembly drawing. Grease the disc springs with a
molybdenum disulfide based grease prior to installation.
Place the other end plate on the cylinder body relative to the other
end plate as shown on the assembly drawing. Lubricate the threads on
the studs and install the eight nuts. Tighten the nuts as a group,
turning each one only a small amount at a time. Tighten the nuts in
a criss-cross pattern with a torque wrench and avoid tightening the
nuts more than 200 ft-lbs (270 Nm)(Lub). Torque the nuts to 200 ft-
lbs (270 Nm)(Lub) in a circular pattern after the end plate is
pulled into place. Reinstall the adjusting eye, adjusting nut, and
adjusting nut locks.

PRECHARGING INSTRUCTIONS FOR
3000 PSI BLADDER ACCUMULATORS
IMPORTANT
USE DRY NITROGEN GAS ONLY to precharge the accu-
mulator.
Check the precharge tag attached to the accumulator.
The accumulator will either be precharged to 25 psig(1.7
bar) for shipping purpose or to the pressure specified
on the purchase order. If the accumulator does not have
the correct precharge, it must be precharged to the re- Charging Kit Standard Accumulator Charging Kit Top Repairable
quired level using only DRY NITROGEN GAS, before it is CG-3000 Accumulator T-CG-3000
installed in the hydraulic system.
Precharge pressures vary according to the application
and operating conditions. Please seek technical support
from the factory if you are not sure about the correct
precharge. Incorrect Precharge pressure can lead to
reduced accumulator performance, reduced bladder life
expectancy, and even bladder failure. It is very impor-
tant to have the correct precharge. As a guidance, the
following values can be used.
Energy Storage:
90% of the minimum system pressure
Pulsation dampening: Charging Head Assembly Standard Charging Head Assembly Top
70% of the system mean operating pressure Accumulator CG-3013 Repairable Accumulator T-CG-3013
Shock absorption
75% of the system working pressure.
Precharge must never be below 25% of the maximum
system pressure.
Always use a pressure regulator valve on the nitrogen
bottle when the accumulator shell pressure is lower than
the gas pressure in the nitrogen cylinder.
Ensure bladder is thoroughly lubricated with system fluid
before precharging.
Whenever you have to replace the gas valve core, re-
place it with a valve core approved for accumulator ser-
vice. NEVER USE AN AUTOMOTIVE TYPE VALVE CORE. Valve Adaptor A11-3-309 Air Chuck CG-3002
CHECKING PRECHARGE
Check the precharge pressure only after the hydraulic
pressure has been completely released. When a new
accumulator is installed, the precharge pressure should
be checked to ensure that there is no leakage. This
should be performed once during the first week of op-
eration, and then every six months thereafter. Under high
cycling or high temperature conditions, the precharge
should be checked once every month.

UX, SX and GC Series plates: Herringbone (chevron) pattern is ideally suited for handling aqueous solutions.
GF Series: Wide gap and parallel (washboard) patterns are designed for applications where there are high
viscosity fluids or fluids containing fibers or coarse particles.
GX Series: An asymmetrical four quadrant plate suited for low viscosity and close temperature approach appli-
cations or processes involving two vastly different flow rates. It is also well suited for equal flows and close
approach.
All plates are manufactured from die-formed sheet metal in virtually any material that can be cold worked, such
as stainless steel, titanium, Alloy C-276, Alloy-20, etc. There are grooves around the circumference of the plates
which accept the sealing gasket and also add reinforcement because of the ribbed edges. Fluid passage holes
are pierced at the corners of each plate. The number and location of the holes is dependent upon the design
conditions.
The gaskets are single piece, molded construction, and generally bonded to the plates with Pliobond 30 adhe-
sive. The gasket material is selected for compatibility with the fluids being processed and the operating tempera-
tures.
Each plate also contains flow directors at the top and bottom of the heat transfer surface in the port hole areas
which evenly distribute the fluids. Some plates require a hanger which attaches the plate to the upper guide bar.
For most models, the upper guide bar is the plate’s sole support member in the frame, while the lower guide bar
serves as an alignment member in all plates except the UXP-005 and the UXP-001 which are supported by the
lower guide bar. See Figures 3, 4, 5, 6 and Tables 3 through 6 for specific models.

Plate orientation for the UX, SX, GC and GF Series
“B” Plate SUPERCHANGER units are designed so that a fluid which enters the “A”
plate circuit (nozzles S1, S2, M1 or M2) always flows in the “A” circuit
only. Fluid which enters the “B” plate circuit (nozzles S3, S4, M3 or M4)
always flows in the “B” circuit only. Facing the stationary frame, the right
side is always the “A” side, while the left side is always the “B” side. The
“A” and “B” term refers to the gasket orientation. When looking at the
gasketed side of the plate an “A” plate becomes a “B” plate when reversed
(turned upside down). If the flow comes in and out on the left side it is a
“B” orientation.

Drawings
SUPERCHANGER units are custom designed for each application. A drawing is supplied with each unit depict-
ing all required dimensional data, equipment specifications, unit performance, nozzle locations and sequence of
plates in the heat exchanger. Most information contained on the drawing is self-explanatory. However, sections
illustrating the internal functions of a plate and frame heat exchanger are sometimes difficult to interpret. The
following is an aid for understanding the equipment.
Figure 11 shows an “S” frame (stationary member), “E” frame (moveable member), and plates of the plate heat
exchanger depicted in an element composition diagram. In an element composition diagram, “B” plates are
located at the upper part of the drawing and “A” plates are shown on the lower side.
A plate is indicated by the line centrally located within a rectangular compartment between the “S” and “E”
frames.
The designation of plate holes is written in the hole designation box formed by extending the vertical plate lines
above the center line for “B” plates and below the center line for “A” plates. The plate sequence number is
written in a box above and below the plate hole number, respectively, for “B” and “A” plates.

Plate Hole Designation for UX, SX, GC and GF Series
As shown in Figure 12, the pierced holes at the corners of the plate are designated as: 1 for upper right, 2 for
lower right, 3 for lower left, and 4 for upper left when facing the gasketed side of the plate. Plates 1 and 2 in
Figure 12 are represented as A1234 and B1234 respectively. Plates with all four holes pierced can also be
designated with a blank space or an *. Unpierced ports will be represented as a 0. For example, Plate 3 is
represented by a A1004 since there are no holes at position 2 and 3. Table 9 shows A & B equivalents when an
“A” plate is rotated to become a “B” plate.

*No number indicates that fluid passes through all four holes in the plate.
The position of a plate hole is indicated by the intersection between a vertical line representing the plate and a
horizontal line indicating the flow direction and passage. Holes for passage of fluid flowing on the surface of a
“B” plate are always located on the left side (Holes 3 and 4), and holes for passage of liquid flowing on the
surface of an “A” plate are always found on the right side (Holes 1 and 2).
In the element composition diagram (Figure 14a), plate numbers are shown in boxes as:
“D” in D1004 represents the plate adjacent to the “S” frame. “D” also denotes that no fluid runs on the heating
surface.
A box with no port hole numbers, 11 , in Figure 14a means 11 1234 . This is done for simplicity as
most plates in a unit have four (4) holes.

*No Number indicates that fluid passes through all four holes in the plate.
Figure 14b shows the plate arrangement in which “B” Side is arranged in two parallel channels with three passes
in series and “A” Side is arranged in three parallel channels with two passes in series. In two parallel channels
with three passes in series, the fluid flow Q 1 flows on the heating sur faces of two plates separately (Q 1/2) and
gathers again in the port hole. This operation is repeated three times. In the case of three parallel channels, with
two passes in series, flow Q 2 similarly flows on the thr ee heating sur faces separately (Q 2/3), gathering once again
in the port hole.
The product of the number of channels in parallel, times the number of passes in series, is always equal or
different from each other by one plate when comparing “A” Side with “B” Side. The total number of plates can be
obtained by adding the number of “D” plates to the number gained by adding the products of “A” Side and “B”
Side. In Figure 14b (2 x 3) + (3 x 2) + 1 = 13.
Drains
There are three methods used for draining SUPERCHANGER units:
1. One pass/one pass (also two pass/two pass with all lower nozzles, but not shown) units can be drained by
opening the piping to the lower nozzles or by opening drain valves that can be provided in the field in the con-
necting piping. See Figure 15.
2. Multi-pass units may r equire factor y installed drains, i.e., an additional nozzle in the end frame. These must
be factory installed. See Figure 15.
3. If the number of passes is greater than four as in Figure 16 the above options require the addition of small
holes in plate corner sections as shown in Figure 17. The amount of by-pass through these holes is negligible
and there is no possibility of fluid intermix. These drain holes in the element composition diagram are noted
by , as the small hole is always placed in the corner without a passage hole. For example, 1204 is changed to
12 4 if a drain hole is present. The size and position of the drain hole is separately specified.
NOTE: On multipass units which are sized for a close temperature approach these drain holes are not provided
due to the small amount of bypassing that occurs. Check the drawing to determine whether drains are present.

ULTRAFLEX (GX) Plate Design
Unlike all other SUPERCHANGER models, the GX series of plates is based on a diagonal flow pattern. On a
typical one-by-one pass unit, nozzle numbers 1 and 3 will be the hot inlet and hot outlet connections. Nozzle
numbers 2 and 4 are the cold inlet and cold outlet located lower right and upper left, respectively. Unlike other
plates, GX series can also be designed for parallel flow. The flow direction is always designated in the model
number by a “P” (parallel) or “D” (diagonal) after the letters “GX.”
Figure 19
ULTRAFLEX (GX) plate design
19
Plate Designations—ULTRAFLEX and WIDE GAP
ULTRAFLEX (GX) and WIDE GAP (GF) plates differ from conventional plates in another aspect. Because the
gasket groove lies in the plate’s neutral plane, additional configurations are possible with a given plate. This
feature allows the heat exchanger to be more precisely designed for each application.
Figure 20c
GF Type Plate
20
Drawings
The bottom left hand corner of each GF and GX unit drawing has a plate specification chart and plate arrange-
ment/assembly listing to assist in determining the proper sequence and orientation of the plates in the unit. You
will note that the gaskets used between the first and last plate of the plate pack and the respective frames are half
thickness.
Due to the number of combinations achievable with GX and GF technology, we have simplified the assembly
process by assigning a code letter to each corner of the plate. The plate is installed correctly when the letter is
readable from the upper right corner when facing the front of the unit.
The following examples will help you understand the plate designations:
In the Wide Gap (GF) series of plates, three different channel geometries can be created with each model: wide,
medium, or narrow. All units will be wide-narrow, narrow-wide, or medium-medium configuration. The code
letter in the top right hand corner of the plates is used to create the various channel geometries as shown below.
21
Four Plate Sequence—ULTRAFLEX
In some instances, the arrangement in a GX model will follow a repeating four plate sequence. An example is
shown below:
PLATE ASSEMBLY
Plate 1 Type H Code B Half gasket front
Even plates 2 through 206 Type L Code R, Full gasket front, Upper RH & Lower LH port
Odd plates 3 through 207 Type H Code B, Full gasket front, Upper LH & Lower RH port

Odd plates 209 through 267 Type H Code C.B, Full gasket front, Upper LH & Lower RH port

In the example above, Even plate Code S.R means Plate 208 will be Code S and Plate 210 will be Code R; Odd
Plate 209 will be Code C and Plate 211 will be Code B;
Plate 212 is Code S and the four plate sequence continues as shown below:

TIGHTEN!
The above temperatures are the maximum allowable regardless of applications. In some cases, the upper limit
may be lower depending on the fluids being handled and on the unit design pressure.
Gaskets—Glued
Each plate has a molded one piece boundary gasket
which is glued into the continuous gasket groove in
each plate. The liquid flowing on the surface of each
plate flows on the inside of each boundary gasket.

Gaskets—Glueless
Functionally, Tranter’s patented SUPERLOCK glueless gaskets perform in the same manner as glued gaskets (see
Figures 23a, 23b, and 23c). SUPERLOCK’s unique lock-in design allows simple installation and removal without
glue. The gasket has tabs which press easily into the holes in the plate. Please note that the differences between
glueless gasket plate assemblies and glued gasket plate assemblies do not allow for the use of a glued gasket on
a SUPERLOCK style plate. The use of a glueless gasket on a plate requiring a glued gasket is also incorrect.
(NOTE: the D, E, and any special turning plates will be standard spot-glued gasketed.) The SUPERLOCK design is
indicated by replacing the “X” in the model number with an “M” for a mechanically attached gasket. It is available
in the following models: UMP-005, UMP-010, UMP-060, UMP-200, UMP-400, GMP-026 and GM-010.
1. Store in an area where the temperature does not exceed 70°F. The ideal storage temperature is 60°F. NEVER
STORE IN AN AREA WHERE THE TEMPERATURE MAY FALL TO OR BELOW 32°F.
4. Store gaskets so they are free from tension. Do not store in a stretched or severely bent condition.
5. All potential sources of Ozone, such as operating electric motors, or welding equipment, must be removed
from the storage area.
6. Organic solvents, acids, etc. must not be kept in the storage area.
8. Cover or keep the gaskets in bags or boxes to minimize exposure to air circulation.
The first is gasket/fluid compatibility. In this case, one material is not suitable for both fluids in the heat ex-
changer. An example is heating quench oil with 285°F steam. Quench oil dictates the use of nitrile rubber
gaskets, while steam temperature requires EPDM gaskets.
24
Mixed Gasket Materials (cont.)
The second reason for using two gasket materials on a single plate is cost. This is encountered when an expen-
sive material (usually viton) is required on only one side of the SUPERCHANGER unit. A significant savings can
be realized by using a less expensive gasket material on the other side.
As an example: cooling 180°F sulfuric acid with tower water requires viton on the acid side, but nitrile is suffi-
cient on the water side.
Each plate has contact with both fluids in a SUPERCHANGER unit. One fluid travels across the plate while the
other fluid passes through the gasketed port holes. In a mixed gasket unit, each plate will have two materials.
The fluid traveling across the “A” plate requires gasket material 1. The fluid on the “B” plate requires gasket
material 2.
In the case of a UX, SX, GF or GC series model, the “A” plate will have material 1 on the perimeter while port
holes 3 and 4 are material 2. The “B” plate will have material 2 on the perimeter with port holes 1 and 2 of
material 1. GX models with mixed gaskets would be similar. However, flow is diagonal so diagonally opposed
ports would have the same gasket material.
All SUPERCHANGER gaskets are purchased as one piece-molded items. To physically accomplish mixing
gaskets on a plate, the port holes are cut from both gaskets. Subsequently, the port holes of material 1 are
matched with the perimeter of material 2 and vice versa. See Figure 24.

INSTALLATION
Unpacking
SUPERCHANGER units (with optional shroud) are bolted to and shipped assembled on a skid. Other optional
items, if supplied, are packed separately. All items should be checked against packing lists. SHOULD ANY
PARTS BE MISSING OR DAMAGED, NOTIFY TRANTER PHE, INC., P O Box 2289, Wichita Falls, Texas 76307,
Phone: (940) 723-7125, IMMEDIATELY.
Recommended Procedures
All frame models are provided with special lifting eyeholes for transportation and installation by crane. Rigidly
set all models on the floor by means of foundation bolts. The following installation tips are also recommended:
2. Locate the unit in an area that is not congested with piping and other equipment. For units with nozzles on
the movable frame, refer to Figures 25a & 25b, on page 27.
4. The piping system must allow for thermal expansion. This can be accomplished inherently within the piping
layout or by flexible connections.
5. Debris can cause damage to the gaskets. The gasket areas must be free from sand, gravel, pieces of iron,
etc. before the unit is closed.
7. Tighten all tie rod nuts. Tighten the unit to plate pack dimension per assembly drawings prior to making any
assembly connections.
9. Flush connecting piping of all debris prior to “hook-up” with the heat exchanger.
11. Do not apply valve and piping loads to the nozzles. Use pipe supports.
13. Place vent valves for draining at the highest possible point.
14. Provide pumps sending liquid into the SUPERCHANGER with throttling valves.
15. Install a safety relief valve if the maximum pressure output of the pump is greater than that of the heat
exchanger.
16. When a pressure control valve is installed, place it at the inlet of the heat exchanger, even if a pressure
control switch is provided.
26
Recommended Procedures (cont.)
CAUTION: Do not expose plate and frame heat exchangers to continuous vibration and/or high frequency cyclic
on/off operation since damage from fatigue may occur. Do not use metering and pulsating type pumps. If the
SUPERCHANGER unit is used in cyclic operation, the equipment should be tightened to the minimum dimension
(see Table 7) to prevent fretting failure. Contact the factory for assistance.
Due to manufacturing tolerances, a unit is sometimes shipped with a plate pack dimension greater than the
minimum dimension stated on the drawing. If leakage occurs, after a period of time, tighten the unit to the
minimum length. If the plate pack length is shorter than the minimum length, damage to the plates at contact
points may result. If leakage occurs at the minimum length, contact the SUPERCHANGER Engineering Depart-
ment for recommendations regarding gasket replacement or additional tightening.

Tightening Sequence
WARNING: DO NOT TIGHTEN THE PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER WHEN IT IS HOLDING LIQUID, UNDER PRES-
SURE OR OPERATING. RUPTURE OF THE GASKETS AND EXPOSURE TO PHYSICAL INJURY MAY OCCUR.
ALWAYS COOL AND DRAIN THE HEAT EXCHANGER BEFORE TIGHTENING. Figure 26a gives the tightening
sequence for all units. When facing the stationary frame, tighten using the 1, 2, 3, and 4 bolts in sequence as far
as possible before installing the remaining bolts. Be careful to tighten uniformly so that the moveable frame is
kept parallel with the fixed frame within 1/4”. Check the plate pack length on both sides of the plate pack at all
tightening bolt locations. Tighten the unit, according to this procedure, to the plate pack dimension stated on the
assembly drawing or unit data plate. Measure the dimension with a metal tape and tighten all bolts within 1/32”
of the “A” dimension. (See Table 7).

START-UP PROCEDURES
Precautions Prior to Start-Up
1. Before connecting the unit to the system, all piping must be cleaned to prevent entrance of
gravel, sand, welding flux, etc. into the plate assembly. Damage to the plates and gaskets could
result if the unit is contaminated with solid matter.
5. Provide venting on both sides of the heat exchanger to facilitate the removal of air from the system.
6. Start pumps and increase the pressure by opening the pump discharge valve slowly.
7. When all air is out, liquid will flow out of the vent. Close the vent.
8. Slowly and simultaneously open the inlet valves for both fluids to avoid extreme over-
pressure due to hydraulic shock.
9. Control the amount of heating or cooling by using throttling valves and product thermometers in
conjunction.
28
Precautions Prior to Start-Up (cont.)
CAUTION: To reduce the possibility of water hammer, do not use fast opening and closing valves. The pressure
surge caused by a sudden change in the fluid velocity can be several times higher than the normal operating
pressure of the system.
SERVICING
Shutting Down the Unit
1. GRADUALLY DECREASE THE PRESSURE OF BOTH FLUIDS SIMULTANEOUSLY UNTIL ALL PRESSURE IS
RELIEVED.
2. NEVER OPEN A SUPERCHANGER UNIT WHEN IT IS HOT. COOL THE UNIT TO A WARM TEMPERATURE
BEFORE OPENING TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY AND GASKET LOOSENING.
Disassembly Procedures
To open the exchanger, it is necessary to disconnect all connections (if any) to the “E” moveable frame. Lubri-
cate all bolts prior to disassembly. Then completely loosen and remove all bolts except those indicated by a
“filled circle” in the sketch below for the size unit involved. The four (4) remaining bolts can then be loosened in
any left-right sequence at 1/4” increments until they can be lifted out.

Removal of Plates
CAUTION: Exercise care when handling plates: the edges are sharp. Leather gloves must be worn.
(a) For UXP-005, UXP-010, UXP-100, SXP-070, SXP-400, SXP-140, GC, GX and GFP-050, GFP-100 and
GFP-150 series, tilt the plate and remove it.
(b) GFP-030, GFP-080, UXP-200, UXP-060, UXP-400 and UXP-110 series lift the plate, push down on the
hanger to release it, tilt the plate and remove it.
(c) UXP-801 and UXP-802 series remove the sectional guide bar track which is bolted into the bottom of
the upper I beam near the moveable end. Tilt the plate and remove them one at a time. (There are three of
the removable track sections along the guide bar length to facilitate plate removal.)
Replacing Plates
A faulty plate can easily be removed and replaced by a spare plate. Check that the new plate has the holes and
gaskets arranged in the same way as the faulty one, and that the hangers are arranged in the same direction as
the original installation. When the plates are properly assembled, the edges form a “honeycomb” configuration
as seen in Figure 26c.
Correct Incorrect
Figure 26c
Plate assembly
If a 4-hole plate is defective and no spare plate is available, the defective plate and one adjacent 4-hole
plate can be removed. The capacity of the plate heat exchanger is then reduced, but usually only slightly. When
plates are removed calculate new “A” tightening dimensions from Table 7.
30
Replacing Gaskets
See Figures 3, 4, 5, 6, & 24
A1. Remove the plate from the frame and lay it on a clean, flat, horizontal surface. Examine and note exactly
how the gasket is positioned on the plate, particularly what grooves the gasket does and does not occupy.
A2. Insert a pointed tool (screw driver) under the gasket until a finger can be inserted. Then pull slowly until the
gasket is removed.
A3. Clean the gasket groove. Adhesive residue, oil, grease and other foreign matter can be removed by applying
a solvent such as Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), Acetone, or other Ketones with a nylon or stainless steel
brush. Commercial paint stripping compounds are also effective in removing the gasket adhesive. Dry/wipe
the gasket groove. (NOTE: Use all solvents at room temperature and in a well ventilated area not exposed to
open flame, electric motors, etc.). Torches, grinding wheels and powered steel wire brushes are not to be
used to remove adhesive residue since such tools will damage the plates.
B1. When a gasket requires replacement, remove the plate from the frame and lay it on a clean, flat, horizontal
surface. Examine and note exactly how the gasket is positioned on the plate, the orientation of the bleed
grooves, and particularly what grooves the gasket occupies.
B2. For gasket removal immerse the plate assemblies in a 10% to 15% caustic bath solution at 140°F to 180°F
for approximately 8 hours. The caustic will soften the glue and the gaskets can be removed. Brushing with
a nylon brush will help remove the softened residual glue. (NOTE: Soak time will vary depending on the type
of service and the length of exposure that the plates have seen.)
B3. The caustic solution will normally remove most of the residue scale buildup on the heat transfer surface.
Brushing with a nylon brush will help remove excess residue. Always rinse thoroughly.
To remove spot-glued gaskets, follow steps A1, A2, and if necessary, step A3.
Remove scale deposits, such as calcium compounds, by immersing the plates in a 5% to 10% nitric acid
solution at room temperature. This procedure must be followed by a thorough rinsing. See the section on
“Plate Cleaning Tips”, discussed later.
31
Installing Continuously Glued Gaskets
1. Make sure the gasket groove area is clean and dry prior to regasketing.
2. Apply a uniform layer of adhesive in the appropriate gasket grooves. (A plastic bottle makes an ideal
applicator, provided the tip of the applicator is designed to provide a bead that is approximately 1/8” wide.)
Do not apply adhesive in amounts that will allow it to ooze out when the gasket is pressed into the groove.
Apply adhesive at room temperature. After the glue is applied to the plate, it should be allowed to set for a
minimum of 30 seconds before the gasket is set in place. Work on pairs of plates to allow for this curing
time.
The recommended adhesive for all elastomeric gaskets is Pliobond 30. Pliobond 20, Henkel 4330, and Silaprene
6249 can also be used, if Pliobond 30 is not available. Hardening adhesives are not to be used. The number of
gaskets which can be glued from one pint bottle of Pliobond 30 glue may be approximated as follows:
UXP-100 85 GXD-091 15
UXP-200 60 GXD-118 13
UXP-400 30 GXD-140 14
UXP-110 30 GXD-180 15
GFP-080 25 GXD-145 14
GXD-006 50 GXD-265 10
GXD-012 50 GXD-325 8
GXD-042 20 GFP-180 15
GXD-051, GCP-051 17
32
Installing Continuously Glued Gaskets (cont.)
3. Position the gasket on the plate making sure that the recess in the gasket at the bleed passage location is
up. Also, when the proper side is up, the gasket code number will be visible in the bleed passage area. Proper
groove fit and flow diverter access is dependent on end-to-end positioning. (See Figures 13a and 23a).
4. Using finger pressure, firmly press the gasket into the same grooves from which the original gasket was
removed.
5. Compress the gasket by placing the plate under a weighted sheet of wood. The longer the compression
time, the better the bond. Twelve (12) hours cure time at room temperature (70°F) should be allowed to
assure minimum required adhesion of the gasket to the plate for all elastomers except EPDM. EPDM
gaskets require a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours cure time at room temperature (70°F) to assure an
adequate bond. (When several plates are being gasketed, they can be stacked on top of each other with the
weighted wood sheet placed on the top plate of the stack.)
6. After compression time (step 5), use solvent to remove any excess adhesive that may have seeped out past
the edges of the gasket.
7. Reinstall plate(s) in the unit insuring that the gasket surface and the sealing surface of the plate ahead are
wiped clean to provide a positive seal.
8. Note that the “D” plate (always the plate next to the fixed frame end) requires different gaskets. The purpose
of the “D” plate is to prevent fluid from flowing across the fixed end frame. The only sealing surface on the
“D” plate is the port hole gaskets. “D” plate gaskets for the UX series consist of two half gaskets.
“D” plate gaskets for the GFP-030 and GFP-080 plates consist of four (4) port hole gaskets and straight strips
which fit in the gasket groove around the periphery of the plate. The wide port gasket fits the widest groove and
the narrow port hole gasket fits the narrow groove.
In the following procedure, after the glue is applied to the plate at the appropriate spots, allow it to set for a
minimum of 30 seconds before the gasket is mounted. Work on pairs of plates to allow for this curing time.
Work in a well-ventilated area.
1. Clean the gasket groove in one plate with a rag moistened with Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK).
33
Installing Spot-Glued Gaskets (cont.)
2. Apply a 1/8” diameter spot of Pliobond 30 approximately every 4 inches centered in the gasket groove of the
plate just cleaned.
5. Install the gasket on the first plate. Make sure the gasket is oriented as shown in Figures 13a and 23a.
NOTE: The purpose of working with two plates simultaneously is to allow the adhesive to set for a minimum of
30 seconds before the gasket is applied. When working with small plates, a third plate can be incorporated
into the above procedure to obtain set time. The curing time must not exceed 3 minutes.
7. Compress the gasket by placing the plate under a weighted sheet of wood. The longer the compression
time, the better the bond. Twelve (12) hours cure time at room temperature (70°F) should be allowed to
assure maximum adhesion of the gasket to the plate for all elastomers except EPDM. EPDM gaskets require
a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours cure time at room temperature (70°F) to assure an adequate bond.
(When several plates are being gasketed, they can be stacked on top of each other with the weighted wood
sheet placed on the top plate of the stack.)
8. After adequate compression time, use solvent to remove any excess adhesive that may have seeped-out past
the edges of the gasket.
9. Reinstall plate(s) in unit insuring that the gasket surface and the sealing surface of the plate ahead are wiped
clean to provide a positive seal.

1. Position the gasket on the plate making sure that the recess in the gasket at the bleed passage location
is up. When the proper side is up, the gasket code number will be visible in the bleed passage area. Correct
end-to-end position is also important for a proper groove fit and fluid access to the flow diverter. (See
Figures 13a & 23a.)
2. Make sure that the tabs of the SUPERLOCK gaskets are lined up with the slots in the gasket groove of the
plate.
3. Insert each tab inside its corresponding slot and push firmly until the tab locks into the slot. Make sure that
each of the porthole tabs (located in the bleed port area towards the middle of the plate) is also snapped into
its slot.
1. Install double-sided tape in the center of the gasket groove. Use continuous strips. Do not contaminate the
tape surface.
2. Do not overlap tape strips as this will cause leakage in that area.
3. Install Teflon such that bleed ports (notches) in each section in rubber core are installed in the up position.
35
Installing Teflon Encapsulated Gaskets and Unit Assembly (cont.)
4. Install plates per the assembly drawing that is received with the unit.
5. Check top surface of Teflon and gasket seal surface for cleanliness.
6. Install all bolts and tighten the unit (snug tight only).
10. Single side hydrostatic test to design pressure shown on assembly drawing.
11. Double side hydrostatic test to test pressure shown on assembly drawing.
12. If unit leaks during either of the above tests, run 150°F - 170°F hot water for one (1) hour. Let the unit cool
and tighten to average dimension as shown on assembly drawing using same increments as in step 8.
15. Disassemble unit and check gasket and seal surface for defects, especially at the leakage sites. If no appar-
ent defect is found, apply an even thin layer of “Teflon TFE Pipe Thread Sealer” furnished by McMaster Carr
(www.mcmaster.com, part #4538K1), to teflon gasket at leakage site.
18. Unit should not seal. If unit is still leaking, contact the factory.
CLEANING
SUPERCHANGER plate and frame type heat exchangers are designed for both manual cleaning and cleaning-in-
place operations. Where possible, utilize a cleaning-in-place system which will allow pumping water or cleaning
solutions into the unit without disassembling. A CIP system may be purchased through Tranter PHE, Inc. If this
is not feasible, use the manual method. Descriptions of the two cleaning procedures follow.
36
Steps for Manual Cleaning of Plates
1. Open the unit in accordance with disassembly procedures on page 29.
2. Clean each plate separately. Depending upon the amount of cleaning to be performed, the plate can be
cleaned while still hanging in the unit or removed, placed on a flat surface and cleaned.
3. NEVER USE A STEEL BRUSH OR STEEL WOOL ON THE PLATES. If a brush is required, use one with
bristles that are softer than the plate material. If iron is forcibly rubbed on a stainless steel surface, it is
impossible to remove all imbedded particles and will result in accelerated rusting and/or corrosion. If it is
absolutely necessary that a metal brush be used, the brush material must be compatible with the plate
material.
6. Use high pressure rinse when cleaning continuously glued plate assemblies.
8. THE GASKETS MUST BE WIPED DRY WITH A CLOTH. Solid particles adhering to the gaskets cause damage
and result in leakage when the unit is put back in operation.
9. The lower portion of each plate as hung in the unit should be inspected carefully and cleaned appropriately
as this is the primary area where residual solid material tends to accumulate.
10. Wipe off the mating surface, i.e.; the rear of the plate where the gasket seats.
11. Upon completing the cleaning, inspection and installation of each plate, the unit may be closed, tightened per
the assembly drawing and the tightening instructions (page 28), and placed into operation.
CAUTION: Do not use chlorine or chlorinated water to clean stainless steel, Hastelloy , Incolloy , Inconel and
254SMO. Chlorine is commonly used to inhibit bacteria growth in cooling water systems. It reduces the corro-
sion resistance of stainless steel, Hastelloy , Incolloy , Inconel and 254SMO. The “pr otection layer” of these steels
is weakened by chlorine and makes them more susceptible to corrosion. This increase in susceptibility to
corrosion is a function of time and the chlorine concentration. For any applications where chlorination must be
used with non-titanium equipment, please contact the factor y.
37
PLATE CLEANING TIPS
1. Do not use hydrochloric acids, or water containing in excess of 300 ppm chlorides, with stainless steel.
3. Limit cleaning solution concentration to 4% in strength, with temperatures not exceeding 140°F unless
otherwise specified.
General guidelines for cleaning are tabulated below. (Please refer to notes (1) through (3) above for precau-
tions.)
Barnacles, Mussels, Seaweed, Back flush per cleaning-in-place procedure on page 39,
Wood Chips Figure 27
Cleaning-In-Place (CIP)
Cleaning-in-place is the preferred cleaning method when especially corrosive liquids are processed in a
SUPERCHANGER unit. Install drain piping to avoid corrosion of the plates due to residual liquids left in the unit
after an operation cycle. (See Figure 27).
To prepare the unit for cleaning, follow the procedures listed below:
1. Drain both sides of the unit. If it is not possible to drain, force liquids out of the unit with flush water.
2. Flush the unit on both sides with warm water at approximately 110°F until the effluent water is clear and free
of the process fluid.
3. Drain the flush water from the unit and connect CIP pump. (See “Plate Cleaning Tips” above for suggested
cleaners.)
38
Cleaning-In-Place (cont.)
4. For thorough cleaning it is necessary to flow CIP solution bottom to top to insure wetting of all
surfaces with cleaning solution. When cleaning multiple pass units it will be necessary to reverse flow for at
least 1/2 the cleaning time to wet all surfaces.
5. For optimum cleaning, use the maximum flow rate of water, rinse, or CIP solution that the CIP nozzle size
will allow (2” @ 260 GPM, 1” @ 67 GPM.) A CIP operation will be most effective if performed on a regularly
scheduled basis and before the unit is completely fouled.
IF BRINE IS USED AS A COOLING MEDIUM, COMPLETELY DRAIN THE FLUID FROM THE UNIT AND FLUSH THE
UNIT WITH COLD WATER PRIOR TO ANY CLEANING OPERATION. CORROSION WILL BE KEPT AT A MINIMUM
IF ALL TRACES OF BRINE ARE ELIMINATED BEFORE USING HOT CIP SOLUTIONS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE
HEAT EXCHANGER.

39
Back Flushing and Strainers
Often, when fibers or large particulates are present, back flushing of the unit proves to be very beneficial. This
is accomplished by either of the following methods:
1. Flush the unit with clean water in reverse flow pattern to the normal operating direction.
2. Arrange piping and valves so the unit may be operated in reverse flow mode on the product side for fixed
periods of time. This method is particularly well suited for steam-to-product units.
3. The use of strainers are recommended in supply lines ahead of the exchanger when the streams contain
significant solids or fibers. This will reduce the requirements for back flushing.
Cleaning Guidelines
1. Never open the unit when hot, under pressure, holding liquid or operating.
3. Always wipe the gaskets clean before closing the unit to prevent damage resulting
from adhering particulate matter.
4. Always use clean water (free from salt, sulphur, chlorine or high iron concentrations) for flushing and
rinsing operations.
5. If steam is used as a sterilizing medium, do not exceed 270°F steam temperature with nitrile gaskets, and
350°F with EPDM gaskets.
6. If chlorinated solutions are used as the cleaning media, employ a minimum concentration at the lowest
temperature possible. Minimize the plate exposure time. The chlorine concentration must be less than 100
PPM and temperatures must be under 100°F with a maximum plate exposure time of 10 minutes. Follow the
cleaning recommendations of suppliers, relative to concentration, temperature and treatment time.
7. Always add concentrated cleaning solutions to water before circulating through the unit. Never inject these
solutions while the water is circulating.
8. Remove rusted or pitted areas that appear on the plates with commercial scouring powder. Follow this by
flushing with clean water.
11. Thoroughly rinse the plates with clean water following any type of chemical cleaning.

3. Supply water to one side (side A) and raise the water pressure to approximately 50 psig.
4. Open the drain valve at the lowest point or break the flange on side B. By removing the flange and fittings, it
is possible to look into the nozzle and measure to the exact leaking plate.
5. Stop the test if water flows out of the drain valve or flange on side B.
44
How to Find a Defective Plate With Through Holes (cont.)
7. Open the unit promptly and find which plate is wet on side B. This plate and the preceding plates may have
defects.
8. The defect can be found by placing a lamp on the rear side of the plate and by observing the light that passes
through.
9. If the defect is small, the use of dye penetrant may be required to locate the defect. Because of the metal to
metal contact of the plates, the defect can be larger when the plate pack is compressed than when it is in the
free state.
NOTE: A unit with multiple pass circuits that does not allow the fluid to drain out of each channel on one side
cannot be tested in this way unless the special center plates are first removed. See Figure 16 as an example.
STORAGE PROCEDURES
When a SUPERCHANGER plate and frame heat exchanger is to be placed in storage for six months or longer, the
procedures listed below must be followed:
1. If the unit has been recently shipped from our factory and is unused, disregard statements 2, 3, and 4; follow
instructions 5-10.
2. If the unit has been used and long-term storage is required, it must be completely drained. Prior to draining
remove the optional shroud, if provided, and let the unit cool to ambient temperature. Units with plate packs
arranged with one pass on each side (all nozzles on the stationary end frame) are self-draining. Simply vent
at the upper nozzle location and drain from the lower nozzle for each side individually. A two pass/two pass
or one pass/two pass plate arrangement is also self-draining, provided all two pass side nozzles are at the
lower elevations (numbers S2, S3, M2 and M3). Other units may be self-draining if they have been fitted
with separate drain and vent nozzles, or with vents and drain holes. Units that are not self draining must
have the plate pack completely loosened to drain all liquids. Before opening the plate pack, wipe off the
exterior surfaces to make sure no fluids or debris fall onto the plate pack.
3. Open the plate pack and thoroughly clean the unit internally and externally. Dry the unit. (Blowing dry, hot
air at approximately 150°F on all areas is an excellent method.)
4. Install blind flanges with gaskets on all nozzles. Plug all other openings.
5. Coat all unpainted carbon steel component surfaces with light grease, SAE 30 oil, or other rust inhibiting
products.
45
STORAGE PROCEDURES (cont.)
7. To minimize gasket compression set, the plate pack length dimension needs to be adjusted. This must be
greater than the unit’s stated minimum tightening dimension (T.D.). As a guideline, the unit’s minimum
tightening dimension should be increased by a factor of 1.20 (e.g. 50” T.D. x 1.20=60”). When preparing the
unit to go back into service, check to ensure that it is retightened to its original T.D.
8. Protect the unit from direct sunlight, intense heat radiation, or ultraviolet radiation by loosely covering the
unit with an opaque, reflecting type plastic film or similar material. Make sure air is allowed to circulate
around the unit.
9. It is preferable to store the unit indoors, well protected from the weather. The temperature in the storage
area should ideally be 60°F to 70°F with a relative humidity of 70% or lower.
NEVER STORE THE UNIT IN AN AREA WHERE THE TEMPERATURE IS AT 32°F OR LOWER.
10. All potential sources of Ozone, such as operating electric motors, or welding equipment, should be removed
from the storage area to preclude Ozone attack on gaskets. Gaskets should not be exposed to direct sunlight
(ultraviolet radiation) and should be stored in dark plastic bags. Under proper storage conditions, gaskets
generally have a shelf life of approximately four years.
MISCELLANEOUS INSTRUCTIONS
General Maintenance
It is recommended that tightening bolts and tightening nuts be lubricated periodically in order that they can be
easily loosened at time of disassembly. The upper guide bars where the plates slide should be coated with a
lubricant to avoid corrosion and to enable the plates to slide smoothly. Rollers in the moveable end frame and
connecting frames should be lubricated with oil periodically.
Ordering Parts
When ordering parts or requesting information, always give the Model and Serial Number of the unit.
Refer to the parts list on your assembly drawing for correct nomenclature and numbers.
