isnotpossibletocovereveryaspectoftheinstallation.Thusdescriptionrighthereonly

serves as a guideline. There are some points that need to be observed during

installation and operation, which should extend the pump service lift if they are well

followed.

a) Thecentrifugalpumpcanonlybeusedwithinitscapacity.

b) DO NOT ignore any warning during operation. Approved methods, material and

tools MUST be used. No potential safety hazard is allowed to exist. Accidents

usuallyresultfrompotentialsafetyhazards.Safetyiseverybody’sbusiness.

c) Make sure to open the ball valve and drain the centrifugal pump after each

operation to prevent the residualfluid freezing in winter. Ifthe centrifugal pump

6.3.3.2 WORKING PERFORMANCE LIMIT

The data is gained on the condition of no insulation of the room temperature. The

socket ring should be cooled by water if the pumped fluid temperature is between

150 °F and 250 °F. It’s necessary to immerse the exposed shaft into the water to

preventtheshaftandsealringsfromoverheat.

7.2.10 RADIATOR

Thisradiatorismainlyusedtocoolthehydraulicsystem.Theheatcreatedbyfriction

during the operation of hydraulic system makes the oil temperature rise. Oil

temperatureaffectstheoilpropertyverymuch.Astheoiltemperaturerises,oilviscosity

changes which increase system leakage and thus pump volumetric efficiency goes

down and the whole hydraulic system efficiency goes down. Meanwhile, high

temperature makes the hydraulic oil very easily be oxidized. Therefore, radiator is

adopted to cool the hydraulic oil and keep its temperature within ideal range from

40~60°C.Hydraulicoilmaximumworkingtemperatureis80°C.Thesystemisequipped

8.3 MAIN COMPONENTS

8.3.1 AIR COMPRESSOR

Air compressor is one of the important components of the equipment. It is the air

sourceforthepneumaticsystem.Theaircompressorisdrivenbytheengineanditcan

meet the working requirement of the unit. The connection hose between the air

compressor and air bottle is Teflon hose (working temperature varies from -54°C to

+204°C)whichissafetyandreliable.

4 Chapter 8 Pneumatic System HSC16


8.3.2 UNLOADING VALVE

The main function of the unloading valve is to adjust the discharge pressure and

protect the air compressor. When air pressure exceeds the set pressure of the relief

valve, the unloading valve opens and bleeds off extra pressure so as to keep system

pressurewithinnormalworkingrange.Whenpneumaticsystempressureexceedsset

pressure, the unloading valve stops the air compressor so as to extend compressor

servicelife.

Measure Principle: when the measured fluid running through the turbo flow meter

sensor, the impeller rotates and its speed is in positive proportion to the average

pipeline flow rate. Meanwhile, magnetic force line which is produced by impeller

changes the coil magnetic flux. And according to the electromagnetic induction

principle,theelectricpulsesignalisinductedinthecoil.Frequencyofthissignalisin

positiveproportiontotheflowrateofthemeasuredfluid.Thepulsesarecalculatedby

13.2.1.2 ENGINE OIL

a) Type:15W/40CH-4engineoil

b) Dosage:32L

c) Functions:

1) Lubricate all parts inside the engine and produce reliable oil film between

frictionsurfaces.

2) Absorbheatfromenginepartsandreduceenginenoiseduringrecycling.

3) Preventthemovingpartsfromfrictionbyforminganisolatingoilfilmbetween

them.

4) Sealthepiston,pistonringandcylinderwall.

5) Clean the cylinder and other parts and take away carbon residue and

mechanicalimpuritywhichwouldbeinterceptedbythefilter.

 NOTE

a) Replace the lube oil after the running-in period. The running-in process would

producemanymetallicparticleswhichcouldworsenthefriction.

b) Qualified lube oil is a transparent liquid and lube oil of higher viscosity is light

yellow.

c) DO NOT mix different brands of engine oils as they have different additives.

Mixed-usewillcauseoildeterioration.

d) Daily check the engine oil level and insure the engine works under normal

temperature.Stoptheengineandwaitfortheengineoiltoreturnbacktotheoil
