 WARNING
Do not operate until pump is initially primed and connected to constant supply of clean compressant liquid. IF RUN DRY,
PUMP WILL BE DAMAGED. Always use strainer to prevent sand and scale from entering the pump with liquid.

Certain operating conditions in combination with water hardness may result in excessive lime deposits within the pump,
causing it to bind. Should this condition be evident, flush pump with a solvent at regular intervals.

This pump has been drained and flushed with a water-soluble preservative oil prior to shipment. After pump has been
in service, do not store without draining as specified within this Bulletin. Pump can be damaged by freezing.

USE CAUTION when removing inlet screens. Any foreign material on screen may fall into pump and cause extensive
damage at start-up.

Base must be mounted to a leveled foundation and final coupling alignment done during installation. (Refer to Bulletin
No. 642, Installation Instructions, Nash Vacuum Pumps and Compressors.)

DESCRIPTION

l-l ABOUT THIS BULLETIN

This bulletin contains information for owners and
operators of Nash Series CL-200, CL-300, CL-400,
CL-700, CL-1000, and CL-2000 Vacuum Pumps and
Compressors. This information includes a description
of how to operate and maintain the units.
Note
1 . For installation information, refer to Bulletin
No. 642, Installation Instructions, Nash
Vacuum Pumps and Compressors.
2. The terms “pump” and “vacuum pump” in
this Bulletin apply to both vacuum pumps and
compressors unless otherwise noted.
3. The pumps are built using English units of
measure. Metric SI conversions (shown in pa-
rentheses) are included for reference only; use
the English unit values when performing main-
tenance procedures. The metric conversions for
pressure, expressed in kilopascals (kPa), are in
absolute pressure units for all pressures above
and below atmospheric pressure.

l-2 HOW THE UNIT WORKS

The operation of the pump is shown in Figure l-l. A
rotor (2) revolves without metallic contact in a circular
casing (4) that contains a liquid compressant (usually 1. Pump Inlet 5. Liquid Compressant

The curvature of these blades is in the direction of rota-
tion indicated by the arrow. Figure l-l. Vacuum Pump Operation
Starting at point A, Figure l-l, the chambers of the
rotor are filled with water. This water rotates with the
rotor, but follows the contour of the casing (4). The

 (119 to 125 kPa). Excessive pressure on lantern
glands will cause excessive packing wear and external
leakage.
Mechanical Seals. Mechanical seals, when furnished
with the pump, should have a clean supply of liquid
(usually water) with valves located in the mechanical
seal flush outlet line to regulate the pressure and flow
as measured by measuring devices located in the flush
inlet line. The liquid flow rate required for single
mechanical seals is l/2 US GPM (1.9 l/min) at a
maximum pressure of 10 psig (170 kPa) above the
cone seal pressure. The liquid flow rate required for
double mechanical seals is l/2 US GPM (1.9 l/min)
with the stuffing box pressure maintained at 20 psig
(239 kPa) above the discharge pressure of the pump.
Note
The maximum liquid supply pressure for un-
balanced outside-mounted single mechanical seals
is 10 psig (170 kPa).
2-4 Draining and Flushing
Before starting the pump upon completion of align-
ment, remove the drain and vent plugs from the pump.
(See Figure 2-2 for typical location of the drain and vent
plugs.) Open the shut-off valve for the liquid compres-
sant supply. The pump is flushed with a water-soluble
preservative oil prior to shipment which will be visible
as a cream colored liquid. Allow the liquid compressant
to flow until there is a clear flow from all drains. Close
the shut-off valve for the liquid compressant supply.
If after draining and flushing, the pump will not be in
continuous service for three weeks or more, refer to
Paragraph 4-6 for preservation procedures.
2-5 Preliminary Inspection
Perform the following preliminary inspections before
starting the pump:

WARNING
PERFORM ALL OF THE FOLLOWING STEPS
IN ORDER TO ENSURE PERSONNEL SAFE-
TY AND EQUIPMENT PROTECTION.
a. Isolate all power sources to the driver unit in order to
make certain that no accidental starting occurs.
b . Inspect the pump and the recirculation pump (if
used) to make certain that all drain plugs have been
properly installed.
c. Manually prime the pump with liquid compressant.
d. Inspect the separator, the receiver, and the heat ex-
changer (if used) to make certain that all shipping
plug protectors have been removed and that all open
connections have been plugged or piped.
e. Inspect all piping to make certain that proper connec-
tions have been made to the pump and its basic
system in accordance with the Nash installation
drawing(s) that have been supplied with the pump.
Make certain that all piping is the correct size, secure-
ly connected, and properly supported.
f. Inspect all other major operational component (recir-
culation pump, dryer, turbine, etc.) connections,
associated wih the pump, to make certain that they
are in accordance with the recommendations of their
respective equipment manufacturers.
g Inspect all pump control components (control valves,
flow metering devices, check valves, strainers,
gauges, etc.) to make certain that they have been
located in accordance with the Nash installation
drawing(s). Make certain that these components are
correctly oriented in the -piping scheme in order to
achieve the proper direction of flow and functional
operation.
h Inspect the pump inlet to make certain that the inlet
screen and clean-out connections have been properly
made and are free of tools, equipment and debris.
i. Inspect all ball floats and/or drain traps (including
the drain traps that are provided when dryers are
used) to make certain that they are properly installed
and vented. Make certain that the liquid discharge
connections are not plugged and are free of obstruc-
tions.
Remove the coupling or V-belt guard(s) and rotate
the pump shaft by hand in the specified direction of
rotation. The specified direction of rotation is in-
dicated by an arrow cast on the pump and is il-
lustrated on the installation drawing. THE PUMP
SHAFT MUST ROTATE FREELY. If the pump
shaft is bound and cannot be freed by rotating it
manually, contact your Nash Representative for
assistance.
CAUTION
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FREE A PUMP
SHAFT FROM A BINDING OR BOUND CON-
DITION BY APPLYING POWER TO THE
DRIVER. SEVERE DAMAGE MAY RESULT.
CAUTION
NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP WITHOUT
ADEQUATE PRIME AND LIQUID SEAL
FLOW. HIGH LIQUID SEAL SUPPLY
PRESSURES DO NOT NECESSARILY IN-
DICATE THAT THE FLOW IS ADEQUATE.
CHECK FOR FLOW FROM VACUUM PUMP

TAINED IN SEPARATOR SIGHT GLASS.
k. With main supply valves open and the pump primed,
as in step c, momentarily start the driver for the
pump in order to check for the proper direction of
shaft rotation and for proper operation of recir-
culating pump (if used).
2-6 START-UP AND OPERATING CHECKS,
VACUUM PUMPS ONLY
When the preliminary inspection and the pre-
operational check procedures have been completed,
start the pump and check pump operation as follows:
WARNING
IF THE PUMP IS TO BE CHECKED IN A
SYSTEM, NOTIFY THE APPROPRIATE
PLANT PERSONNEL BEFORE PLACING A
PUMP ON LINE, PARTICULARLY WHEN
PLACING THE PUMP ON LINE FOR THE
FIRST TIME. STARTING UP A SYSTEM
UNEXPECTEDLY MAY CAUSE PERSONNEL
INJURY.
Note
Refer to Troubleshooting, Section 3, if any
operating difficulties arise when performing the
following steps.
a. Check the pump and the system for adequate prime
and then turn on all main water supply sources to the
pump or heat exchanger.
b . With the water supply sources turned on and all per-
sonnel and equipment clear of the pump system, ap-
ply power to the driver.
Note
If pump operation becomes unstable, pump vibra-
tion levels will increase and the pumping volume
will decrease. IF THE PUMP DOES NOT
STABILIZE, SHUT DOWN THE SYSTEM IM-
MEDIATELY, AND DETERMINE THE
CAUSE.
c. While the pump is being stabilized at the required in-
let vacuum, check the flow of liquid seal (water) to
the pump. In once-through systems, make certain
that the liquid seal is flowing out of the water trap
silencer drain. In recirculated systems, make certain
that the recirculation pump (if used) is operating.
d . Maintain a constant check on the temperature of the
pump casing during the start-up procedure. If the
temperature rises rapidly or is 25 °F (14 °C) or more
above the liquid compressant temperature, shut
down the unit immediately and determine the cause.
e. After starting the pump, monitor the temperature of
the bearing housing until the bearing housing
temperature stabilizes for a minimum of 30 minutes.
CAUTION
IF THE BEARING HOUSING TEMPER-
ATURE IS MORE THAN 30°F (17 °C) ABOVE
THE PUMP CASING TEMPERATURE, SHUT
DOWN THE PUMP IMMEDIATELY AND
DETERMINE THE CAUSE.
4
CAUTION
IF ABNORMAL BEARING NOISE, VIBRA-
TION, ODOR OR SMOKING OCCUR, SHUT
DOWN THE PUMP IMMEDIATELY AND
DETERMINE THE CAUSE.
Check the pump for vibration and noise. Excessive
vibration and noise is an abnormal condition on a
Nash pump. Shut down the pump immediately and
determine the cause.
. Check the speed (RPM) of pump shaft rotation by
prying the access plug from the fixed bearing outer
cap and inserting a tachometer with a shaft exten-
sion, if necessary. Compare the measured speed with
the rated speed for the pump. The rated operating
speed and capacity can be determined from the pur-
chase specifications or by consulting with your Nash
Representative.
. After the pump has been running for ten minutes with
steady leakage from the stuffing box, tighten the gland
nuts evenly one flat at a time. Repeat at ten minute
intervals until there is a leakage of approximately 45
to 60 drops per minute from the gland with no over-
heating. Subsequent tightening of the gland nuts one
flat at a time should be done with the pump operating
at normal working temperature and vacuum.
2- 7 START-UP AND OPERATING CHECKS,
COMPRESSORS ONLY
When the preliminary inspection and the pre-
operational check procedures have been completed,
start the compressor and check compressor operation as
follows:
WARNING
IF THE COMPRESSOR IS TO BE CHECKED
IN A SYSTEM. NOTIFY THE APPROPRIATE
PLANT PERSONNEL BEFORE PLACING A
COMPRESSOR ON LINE, PARTICULARLY
WHEN PLACING THE COMPRESSOR ON
LINE FOR THE FIRST TIME. STARTING UP
A SYSTEM UNEXPECTEDLY MAY CAUSE
PERSONNEL INJURY.
Note
Refer to Troubleshooting, Section 3, if any
operating difficulties arise when performing the
following steps.
a. Check the compressor and the system for adequate
prime and then turn on all main water supply sources
to the compressor and the heat exchanger.
b. Open the separator bypass valve to the maximum
position.
c. With the water supply sources turned on and all per-
sonnel and equipment clear of the compressor
system, apply power to the driver. Close the separa-
tor bypass valve until the separator pressure gauge in-
dicates 3 psig (122 kPa) maximum.
CAUTION
THE PRESSURE READ AT THE SEPARATOR

TROUBLESHOOTING
3-l LOCATING TROUBLES
Nash Series CL-200, CL-300, CL-400, CL-700,
CL-1000, and CL-2000 pumps require little attention
other than periodic checking of V-belt tension (when ap-
plicable), and checking the ability of the pump to obtain
full volume, or maintain constant vacuum (vacuum
pump) or constant pressure (compressor). If an
operating difficulty arises, make the following checks:
a. Check for proper liquid compressant flow rate by
reading the correct flow rate that has been establish-
ed for the unit. (Refer to Paragraph 2-2.)
b. Check for the correct direction of shaft rotation as
cast on the body of the pump.
c. Check that the pump is operating at the correct
rpm-not necessarily the test rpm stamped on the
pump nameplate. (Refer to the instructions in
Paragraph 2-6, step g or Paragraph 2-7, step h.)
d. Check for an obstruction in the discharge piping.
Back pressure at the discharge port reduces capacity,
reduces vacuum level (vacuum pump) or discharge
Section 4
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
4-l PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Note
The following schedules should be modified as
necessary for your specific operating conditions.
4-2 Six-Month Intervals
a. If the drive coupling is lubricated, it should be filled
with oil or grease in accordance with the coupling
manufacturer’s instructions.
b . Check the pump bearings and lubricate, if necessary,
as specified in Paragraph 4-4.
c. Relubricate the drive motor bearings according to the
motor manufacturer’s instructions.
d . If lobe purge piping is installed, check to ensure that
the piping is not pluggedl
4-3 Twelve-Month Intervals
a. Inspect the pump bearings and lubricate, if
necessary, as specified in Paragraph 4-4.
b. Replace the stuffing box packing as specified in
Paragraph 4-5.
4-4 BEARING LUBRICATION
The pumps described in this Bulletin have grease
lubricated bearings. Bearings are lubricated before ship-
ment and require no further lubrication for approx-
imately six months. To check bearings, move the bear-
ing caps back and inspect the condition and quantity of
grease inside the bearing housing. If the condition and
quantity of the grease is satisfactory, fasten the bearing
caps back in place.
If the bearing grease is contaminated or the quantity
is low, replace or add grease. Using a clean putty knife
or similar tool, pack the bearing on both sides with
6
pressure (compressor), and increases the driving
horsepower that is required.
e. Check for restriction in the gas inlet line by reading
the vacuum or pressure gauge in the inlet piping at
the pump and at the process. Undersize piping and
line obstructions produce a higher vacuum at the
pump than the readings obtained at the work or pro-
cess. Inlet throttling should not be used in com-
pressor systems.
f If the pump is shut down because of a change in
temperature, noise and/or vibration from the normal
operating conditions, check the bearings lubrication,
bearings condition, and coupling or V-belt drive
alignment. Refer to Bulletin No. 642, Installation In-
structions, Nash Vacuum Pumps and Compressors,
for alignment procedures and V-belt tensioning.
Note
If the trouble is not located through these checks,
call your Nash Representative before dismantling
the pump. He will assist in locating and correcting
the trouble.
grease in accordance with the specifications in Table 4-l
until the grease is flush with the edge of the bearing in-
ner and outer race. Pack each bearing cap l/4 to l/3
full and reassemble the bearing cap. Use “clean” grease
and make certain that no dirt enters the bearing hous-
ing. Be careful when replacing gaskets and shims so that
the original shaft adjustments are maintained.
Repeat the bearing check and lubrication procedure
every year, unless the pump is being operated in a cor-
rosive atmosphere or with a liquid compressant other
than water, in which case the interval should be short-
ened..
4-5 STUFFING BOX PACKING
A preventative maintenance schedule should be
established for the tightening and replacement of the
packing in the stuffing boxes of the pump. The packing
in the stuffing boxes in pumps used in continuous pro-
cess systems should be replaced at annual shutdown.
More frequent replacement may be required on severe
process applications in which liquid compressant in the
pump is contaminated by foreign material or is incom-
patible with the existing packing material. (The packing
material consists of four to seven rings with the dimen-
sions listed in Table 5-l .) In some cases, a different pack-
ing material may be required because of the liquid com-
pressant used. .
When replacing the packing in a stuffing box, remove
the old packing as follows:

e. Using pushers fabricated in step a, push packing rings
into stuffing box as firmly as possible. Make certain
that packing ring is seated against end of stuffing box
as shown in Figure 4-4, Part C. As each packing ring
is installed, stagger location of butted ends of ring so
that successive rings are offset (by 180 degrees when
two packing rings are used, 120 degrees when three
packing rings are used, and 90 degrees when four or
more packing rings are used). (See Figure 4-4, Part D.)
f. When used, install lantern gland (10) so that it is cor-
rectly positioned axially below supply connection for
stuffing box; allow for slight compression of packing
rings installed in step e. (See Figure 4-4, Part E.)
g. Install remaining packing rings as specified in step e.
h . Slide packing gland (112) on shaft so that it is flush
against last packing ring installed. Install and tighten
the gland nuts (102-l or 103-l), evenly, finger tight.
(See Figure 4-4, Part F.)
1. Turn on pump (Paragraph 2-6 or 2-7). Check tempera-
ture of pump stuffing box area as pump operates.
Make certain that there is leakage from stuffing box
at all times. If there is no leakage or if stuffing box
overheats, shut down pump and determine cause.
Replace packing if necessary.
J. After pump has been running for ten minutes with
steady leakage from stuffing box, tighten gland nuts
evenly one flat at a time. Repeat at ten-minute inter-
vals until there is leakage of approximately 45 to 60
drops per minute from gland with no overheating. This
8
dripping is necessary to provide added lubrication for
packing and thereby prevent it from scoring and burn-
ing shaft. Subsequent tightening of gland nuts should
be done with pump operating at normal working tem-
perature and vacuum.
4-6 SHUTDOWN PERIODS
If the pump is shut down for 2 to 3 weeks, rotate the
vacuum pump and recirculating pump (if used) by hand
at least once every week to prevent rust buildup between
cast iron parts which may result in seizing. If the pump
must be taken out of service for more than 3 weeks up to
one year, proceed as follows to prevent seizing during
the storage due to rust formation:
Note
These preservation procedures apply to standard
cast iron or all-cast iron pumps only, maintained
in covered storage.
a. Remove drain and vent plugs from pump and drain
all liquid compressant. (See Figure 2-2.) Replace drain
and vent plugs.
b . Blank off pump discharge flanges.
c. Fill pump one quarter full of water-soluble preserving
oil, J.L. Quimby NRP 100 or equivalent, through in-
let flanges.
d . Start pump and rotate for 5 to 15 seconds and shut
down. Start pump again and rotate for 5 to 15 seconds
and shut down.
e. Drain all preserving oil from pump for reuse by remov-
ing drain plugs as specified in step a. Replace drain
plugs using pipe compound.
f. Remove all packing as specified in Paragraph 4-5 and
flush out stuffing boxes with rust inhibitor.
g. Touch up any areas where paint has chipped and apply
Houghton’s Rust Veto #344 coating compound, or
equivalent to external surfaces as necessary.
h. Blank off pump inlets.
Note
For long term preservation procedures for storage
periods of more than 1 year, contact your Nash
Representative.
i. When pump is to be put back in service, repack stuff-
ing boxes with new packing as specified in Paragraph
4-5; drain and flush as specified in Paragraph 2-4; and
start as specified in Paragraphs 2-5 and 2-6 or 2-7.
j. After preserving oil has been flushed from pump,
rotate vacuum pump and recirculating pump (if used)
at weekly intervals until pump is back in continuous
use.

DISASSEMBLY, INSPECTION
AND REASSEMBLY
5-l DISMANTLING PUMP
The procedure described is for the disassembly of a
Series CL-200 pump shown in Figure 5-14. When
disassembling other pumps, compare the exploded view
in the applicable Figure 5-15 through 5-19 with Figure
5-14 to identify corresponding parts. Before disassem-
bling the pump, isolate the electrical input and discon-
nect the water connections, coupling to drive motor or
V-belt drive, and pressurized lines. Disassemble and
reassemble the pump on a level base to keep the pump
feet aligned in the same plane. A sturdy base will
facilitate the use of blocks to support the pump body
when the head is removed. Mark all parts as they
become accessible during disassembly to ensure correct
positioning for reassembly as shown in Figures 5-l and
5-2. Before starting disassembly, collect the parts,
materials and standard tools, and fabricate the special
tools listed in the following paragraphs, all of which are
required for disassembly and reassembly of the pump.
Parts and Materials
a. Minimum recommended spares specified in Legends
for Figures 5-14 through 5-19 (which should be kept
on hand at all times).
Note
It is not advisable to disassemble a pump unless
the following replacement items are available for
reassembly: one set of stuffing box packing or
mechanical seals; one set of adjusting shims; one
set of gaskets; one set of pump bearings; and, in
the case of Series CL-1000 and CL-2000 pumps,
one O-ring for the fixed bearing inner cap. (Refer
to Table 5-l.)
b. Molykote G-n Paste or equivalent
c. Locquic Primer T and Loctite 262 (required on
pumps with bronze or stainless steel rotors if rotor or
shaft requires replacement)
d. Yellow grease.

5-4 Disassembling Rotor and Shaft
If inspection of rotor (Paragraph 5-8) or shaft
(Paragraph 5-9) indicates that either part requires
replacement or repair which requires disassembly, pro-
ceed as follows:
a. Measure and record dimension from rotor face or
recess of outer shroud face to floating bearing jour-
nal shoulder, as shown in Figure 5-8.
b If disassembling Series CL-2000 vacuum pump with
bronze or stainless steel rotor, check for presence of
two setscrews, one installed at each end through
rotor hub into key. If these setscrews are present,
REMOVE SETSCREWS.

C. Lift rotor and shaft assembly by placing sling around
center shroud of rotor and position assembly in press
large enough to handle rotor diameter. (See Figure
5-8.)
d. Secure bushing or pipe section in press with bore that
is sized to fit over shaft and shaft key (if present) as
shown in Figure 5-8. Face of bushing must contact
rotor hub face only with bushing supported by press
back-up plate.
e. Make provision to support fixed bearing end of shaft
as it is pushed from rotor. Rotor can be supported by
blocks or sling passed through rotor blades and
around each shroud.
f. Level rotor and shaft assembly in press and apply
ram force against floating bearing end of shaft. Press
capacity of approximately 20 tons (178 kN) is re-
quired for Series CL-200 through CL-700 pumps,
and approximately 50 tons (445 kN) for Series
CL-1000 and CL-2000 pumps.
g . Pry rotor key (1 lo-l), if used, out of shaft (111).
h. If rotor taper bore is to be machined oversize, call
your Nash Representative for guidance on dimen-
sions to be used.
5-5 Disassembling Head and Cone

5-7 Cones
Normally worn tapered surfaces of the cones will be
smooth, requiring only cleaning and light filing around
the ports and tips. If foreign material has entered the
pump suction inlet during operation, circular score
marks may be noticed around the outside of the cone
tapers. Inspect the cones for damage and wear as
follows:
Check for uneven wear and scoring between the ports
and at the edges of the ports with a straightedge as
shown in Figure 5-10. Localized wear or scoring not
more than 0.030-inch (0.76-mm) deep is acceptable
unless the pump is required to operate at or near max-
imum capacity. If the localized wear or scoring exceeds
0.030 inch (0.76 mm) in depth, contact your Nash Repre-
sentative for assistance in determining the reusability of
the cone. Minor pitting is acceptable.

5-8 Rotor
Inspect the taper cone bores of the rotor on the same
basis as the tapered surface of the cones as follows:
Check for uneven wear, undercutting or scalloping on
the cone bore tapered surface with a straightedge in a
manner similar to that shown in Figure 5-10. Localized Figure 5-10. Checking Cone for Wear
wear, undercutting or scalloping not more than 0.030-
inch (0.76-mm) deep is acceptable. If localized wear,
undercutting or scalloping exceeds 0.030 inch (0.76 mm)
in depth, contact your Nash Representative for assistance
in determining the reusability of the rotor. Minor pitting 5-11 Reassembling Rotor and Shaft

5-16 MECHANICAL SEALS
When specified by the purchase order, mechanical
seals are installed in the pump instead of packing.
Mechanical seals are available in many styles, materials,
and from several vendors. A mechanical seal assembly
drawing is supplied with each pump equipped with
mechanical seals. Study the drawing before attempting
to replace the mechanical seals as described in
Paragraphs 5-17 through 5-19 and call your Nash
Representative for assistance.
Note
Before removing the mechanical seal, the follow-
ing spare parts, materials and special tools must be
available.
1. Two spare mechanical seals
2. One set of pump bearings
3. Lifting device and wooden blocks
4. One set of lip seals, if lip seals are used on the
pump inner bearing caps
5. One set of shims and gaskets
6. Liquid soap solution, rust penetrant, and recom-
mended grease (Refer to Table 4-l.)

 Note
Two people are required to remove and install the
mechanical seals.
5-17 Dismantling Pump for Removal of Mechanical
Seals
Dismantle the pump as follows:
a. Drain pump completely by removing drain plugs at
bottom of body and at side of each head. (See Figure
2-2.)
b. Disconnect all external piping. Disconnect coupling
hub or V-belt drive. Remove pump hold-down bolts.
c. Clean or blow off any dust or foreign matter that
may cause contamination of bearings or seals.
d. Hoist pump and remove it to clean service area onto
level surface.
e. Remove coupling hub or V-belt sheave.
5-18 Removing Mechanical Seals
Remove the mechanical seals as follows:
a. Remove fixed bearing outer cap. Be careful to retain
all hardware, shims, and gaskets exactly as removed.
b. Remove fixed bearing locknut and lockwasher, if
supplied.
c. Remove nuts from mechanical seal gland or loosen
shaft setscrews. If necessary, apply rust penetrant to
free hardware. Allow seal to spring free slowly.
d. Support body with wooden blocks. Remove nuts or
bolts fastening fixed bearing end head to body.
e. Using bearing pulling setup shown in Figure 5-5,
slowly and carefully separate fixed bearing end head
from body until head clears end of shaft by perform-
ing procedures in Paragraph 5-2, steps d through 1.
Fixed bearing will be removed from shaft with head.
f. Remove fixed bearing inner cap from head and guide
mechanical seal parts through bearing bore.
g. Remove floating bearing outer cap. Using bearing
pulling setup shown in Figure 5-7, remove rotor and
shaft assembly from body. Remove mechanical seal
parts and floating bearing as specified in step f.
h. Remove stationary seals from fixed and floating
bearing end heads.
i. Inspect seals for damage. Inspect shaft for scratches,
burns, or signs of damage. Clean shaft and stuffing
box bore throughly.
5-19 Installing Mechanical Seals
Install the mechanical seals and reassemble the pump
as follows:
a. Replace any spacers in stuffing box bore or sleeves on
shaft exactly as before removal.
b. If mechanical seal uses stationary seal inside stuffing
box, apply soap solution to lubricate O-ring of sta-
tionary seal. Slide stationary seal into stuffing box
bore of floating bearing end head with shiny seal side
facing out. Use old stationary seal face without
O-rings or cardboard shipping disc to protect new
stationary seal face during installation. Install sta-
tionary seal in fixed bearing end head in same man-
ner.
c. Insert floating bearing end of rotor and shaft
assem bly into body carefully . Make certain that
21
direction of rotation of rotor is correct. Note
reference rotation arrow on body and check that
leading edge of rotor blades points in direction of ar-
row.
d . Guide shaft through stuffing box of floating bearing
end head. Use care to avoid chipping stationary seal
if double mechanical seals are used.
e. Lubricate rotating seal O-rings with soap solution.
CAUTION
DO NOT LUBRICATE SEAL O-RINGS WITH
OIL ON DURAMETALLIC TYPE CRO OR
ANY OTHER MODEL THAT REQUIRES
O-RING FRICTION TO ROTATE SEAL.
f. If bearing inner cap uses lip seal, replace lip seal
before assembling cap.
g. Guide rotating seal and gland onto shaft. Wrap and
tape shim stock to shaft shoulder to protect rotating
seal O-ring during installation.
h. Place floating bearing inner cap on shaft.
i. Place body gaskets over body studs.
j. Position fixed bearing end head close to body and
slide head over shaft through stuffing box bore. Use
care to avoid chipping stationary seal, if used.
k. Secure fixed bearing end head to body with nuts or
bolts.
1. Repeat steps e through h for fixed bearing end head.
m. Install fixed and floating bearings, including bearing
caps, shims, gaskets, and lubrication, as specified in
Paragraph 5-15.
n. If desired, check and adjust the clearances as
specified in Paragraph 5-15, step z.
o. For mechanical seals inside stuffing box, slide
mechanical seal into stuffing box, assemble gland,
and tighten gland nuts. Check for feel of spring
pressure. If there is no spring pressure, a spacer may
have been omitted. Check that the shaft turns freely.
. For mechanical seals outside stuffing box, slide shaft
collar and compress spring. Position collar to dimen-
sion shown on mechanical seal assembly drawings.
Tighten setscrews. Check that shaft turns freely.
Mount dial indicator to pump body. Check that
runout of shaft collar face is within 0.004 inch (0.10
mm). Adjust, if required, to maintain this value.
. Blank off pump inlet and discharge. Perform
hydrostatic test of pump at 25 psig (274 kPa). Make
sure that all air is bled from pump. Check for leaks
from mechanical seal. If mechanical seal leaks,
disassemble as specified in Paragraph 5-18, inspect
parts and reassemble as specified in Paragraph 5-19.
Reinstall pump on base, connect couplings or V-belt
drive. Align coupling or V-belt drive as specified in
Bulletin No. 642, Installation Instructions, Nash
Vacuum Pumps and Compressors. Reconnect all pip-
ing including mechanical seal flush piping. Provide
proper flow to the mechanical seals as specified in
Paragraph 2-3b. Refer to Paragraph 2-6 or 2-7 for
start-up information.
Check for cool and quiet bearing operation. Make
several checks of bearings during first two hours of
operation. Listen for unusual noises or high bearing
temperature as specified in Paragraph 2-6, steps e
and f or Paragraph 2-7, steps f and g.
