Any applicable customs fees, visa fees, brokerage fees,
work permits, work taxes, or other taxes related to the
project will be invoiced at cost.
7. CREDIT: The amount of credit offered by Seller to
Buyer is contingent upon Seller’s opinion of Buyer’s
capacity, ability, and willingness to promptly pay for
goods and services received under the terms of this
Agreement. Provided that, in Seller’s opinion, there is
a material adverse change in Buyer’s financial
condition and/or Buyer has not, within the agreed time,
fully paid for goods and services previously supplied
under this and/or another Agreement(s) with Seller,
Seller reserves the right to revoke Buyer’s credit and/or
suspend performance on this and/or other orders for
goods and services.
Customers who do not qualify for a line of credit, or
who are in default on a line of credit may qualify for
other payment alternatives such as cash in advance,
irrevocable letter of credit or other third party financing
solely at the discretion of the Seller.
Page 2 of 6
August 1999

8. PAYMENTS: Standard terms for customers who
qualify for credit are ½% (one half of one percent) 15
days, net 30 except as noted below. A monthly service
charge of 1.5% may be charged on amounts owed by
Buyer to Seller that have not been paid within by the
due date, subject to the maximum amount permitted by
law.
Periodic invoices for Milestone Payments shall be
issued when the contract price exceeds $100,000. In
such cases, invoices shall be issued based on the
following milestones:
On all Orders over $100,000, as follows:
15% on submittal of drawings
25% on release to manufacture
50% at time of shipment
10% 30 days after shipment
On all Orders over $250,000, as follows:
25% upon receipt of order
10% upon submittal of drawings
15% upon receipt of approved drawings
50% at time of shipment
Changes as provided in Clause 4 entitled “Changes”
may cause additional periodic invoices to be issued.
These terms apply to partial and complete shipments.
Buyer agrees to make full payment under these terms
without setoff. Company shall have the absolute right
to require payment under an irrevocable letter of credit
in such form as is specified by Company at the time of
its acceptance of Distributor’s orders for Products, or
by any other means specified by Company.
If any proceeding is initiated by or against Buyer under
any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or if, in Seller’s
judgement, Buyer’s financial condition at the time the
equipment is ready for shipment does not warrant the
extension of credit to Buyer, Seller may require full
payment, in cash, prior to making shipment. If Seller
does not receive full cash payment within fifteen (15)
days after it notifies Buyer that such payment is
required and that the equipment is ready for shipment,
Seller may cancel the Order as to any unshipped item.
In that event, Buyer will pay Seller the cancellation
charges, damages and expenses, as described in Clause
5 entitled “Termination and Suspension”.
9. TITLE AND LIEN RIGHTS: The equipment will
remain personal property, regardless of how it is
installed or affixed to any realty or structure. After
delivery to Buyer, Seller will have all such rights,
including security interests and liens, in the equipment
CORNELL PUMP COMPANY
P.O. Box 6334
PORTLAND, OR 97228-6334
as lawfully may be conferred upon Seller by contract
under any applicable provision of law. Buyer agrees to
cooperate fully with Seller in the filing of any
financing statements, including Uniform Commercial
Code (UCC) filings or other documents necessary to
perfect such interests and liens. If Buyer defaults in its
obligations under the Orders before the price (including
any notes given therefore) of the equipment has been
fully paid in cash, Seller may take any and all actions
permitted by law to protect its interests including,
where permissible, repossession of such equipment.
10. INSPECTIONS: Buyer may make reasonable
inspections of goods at Seller’s factory. Seller reserves
the right to determine the reasonableness of the request
and to select an appropriate time and location for such
inspection. All costs of inspection shall be solely
determined by Seller and shall be to Buyer’s account.
No inspection or expediting by Buyer at the facilities of
Seller’s suppliers is authorized.
Additional tests including Factory Acceptance Tests or
demonstrations requested by Buyer are not part of any
contract unless separately identified and priced. Unless
Buyer objects in writing at the conclusion of such tests
or demonstrations, specifying the nature of its
objections, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted
the System.
Buyer shall be responsible for receiving, storing,
installing, commissioning and maintaining all
equipment.
11. SHIPMENTS: With the exception of resale products
as defined in Clause 12 below, all sales are Ex-Works
Factory. Shipping contracts made by Seller shall be to
Buyer’s account. All claims for loss or damage after
risk of loss has passed to Buyer shall be filed by Buyer
with the carrier. Buyer shall be liable to Seller for the
full price of the goods, irrespective of loss or damage
in transit. Seller shall not be required to provide freight
cost receipts to Buyer at the time of invoice.
A. TRANSPORTATION: Transportation
expenses shall be paid by the Buyer.
Seller shall select the carrier and freight
forwarder. Fully insurable values shall be
declared with the resultant insurance
premiums being paid by Buyer. Shipping
and insurance charges shall be prepaid by
Seller and added to the Buyer’s invoice at
cost, unless otherwise specified by Buyer.

are estimated based upon Buyer’s
specified requirements at time of order
Page 3 of 6
August 1999
 acceptance. Delays in receipt of
approvals and/or information, changes
that result in delays, or requested
deferment of schedules may cause
additional expense to Seller. Accordingly,
in addition to the escalation provisions of
subparagraph “C” below, Seller shall be
entitled to an extension of time, and
reimbursement of costs as defined in
Clause 4 entitled “Changes”. The change
in price shall be evenly divided among
any invoices remaining to be issued.
Further, the Buyer will take delivery of
the shipment of the goods within fifteen
(15) days of notification by the Seller that
the goods are ready for shipment. Failure
to take delivery of the goods within the
specified time frame may result in a
storage fee of $100.00 per day per pump.
C. ESCALATION: All prices quoted are
based on scheduled shipments within six
(6) months from date of order acceptance.
Delays caused solely by Seller beyond the
quoted delivery date shall not be subject
to escalation. If shipments requested are
to be made after six (6) months from date
this Agreement is formed, the invoiced
balance of the contract price shall be
subject to price escalation at a rate of one
percent (1% ) per month for each month
in excess of six (6) months up to a
maximum of 6% per year.
D. SALES FOR EXPORT: In the case of
sales for export, Buyer or Seller,
whichever is the proper party under the
applicable statute or regulation, will
procure, and arrange for any necessary
extensions of, all required export, import
or other licenses or authorizations. If
Buyer, as the proper party, fails to arrange
for such licenses or authorizations prior to
or by the scheduled date of shipment,
Seller may at its option treat any such
failure as a cancellation of the Order (s)
and, upon notice from Seller, Buyer will
pay Seller the cancellation charges,
damages and expenses, as described in
Clause 5 “Terminations and Suspension”.
12. RESALE PRODUCTS: Resale products are goods (that
are sold with Seller’s goods) which are not
manufactured by Seller and which are supplied as an
accommodation to Buyer. Standard documentation

manufacturer.
SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY FOR RESALE
PRODUCTS, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE SOLE
WARRANTY SHALL BE THAT OF THE RESALE
PRODUCT MANUFACTURER.
Buyer agrees that Seller shall not be liable for delays
caused by resale product manufacturer. Buyer further
agrees that Buyer’s SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE
REMEDY for Seller’s breach of the stated
responsibility shall be limited to the difference between
the resale product manufacturer’s price to Seller and
Seller’s price to Buyer for resale products in such
breach.
13. LIMITED WARRANTY: Seller warrants, to its
original Buyer, that goods manufactured by Seller are
free from defects in material and workmanship for 36
months from date of shipment. If a failure to conform
to specifications or a defect in materials or
workmanship is discovered within this period, Seller
must promptly be notified in writing within thirty (30)
days, which notification, in any event must be received
no later than 37 months from the date of shipment.
Within a reasonable time after such notification, Seller
will correct any failure to conform to specifications or
any defect in materials or workmanship, or in lieu of
such repair, and at its sole option, shall replace the
equipment. THE ABOVE ARE THE BUYER’S
EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF
WARRANTY.
Seller does not warrant: (a) defects caused by failure to
provide a suitable installation environment for the
product, (b) damage caused by use of the product for
purposes other than those for which it was purchased,
(c) damage caused by disasters such as fire, flood,
wind, and lightning, (d) damage caused by
unauthorized attachments or modification, (e) any other
abuse or misuse by the Buyer, including improper

COST OF ANY SUBSTITUTE EQUIPMENT,
FACILITIES OR SERVICES, DOWNTIME, THE
CLAIMS OF THIRD PARTIES INCLUDING
CUSTOMERS, INJURY TO PROPERTY AND,
UNLESS PRECLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE
STATE LAW, BODILY AND PERSONAL INJURY.
If Buyer is in default (including, but not limited to, the
failure of Buyer to maintain a current account with
Seller) under the Order of any other agreement between
Buyer and Seller, Buyer’s rights under the warranty
shall be suspended and the original warranty period
will not be extended.
Equipment performance is not warranted or guaranteed
unless separately agreed to by Seller in accordance
with its guarantee policy. Performance curves and
other information submitted to Buyer are approximate
and no warranty or guarantee shall be deemed to arise
as a result of such submittal. All testing shall be done
in accordance with Seller’s standard policy.
14. EQUIPMENT RETURNS: Equipment returns must
have prior written authorization by the Seller.
Returned equipment must be shipped “PREPAID” and
must be tagged with a RGA Number. Equipment
manufactured to the Buyer’s specification will be

materials, or causes of any kind beyond Seller’s
control.
16. PATENTS: Seller shall defend and indemnify the
Buyer against any actions of third parties based on
claims that the goods manufactured by Seller constitute
an infringement of a valid patent of the United States
for the benefit of such third parties, provided that
Buyer notifies Seller in writing of any such claim
within five days thereof and thereafter gives necessary
authority, information and assistance to Seller for the
defense of such action. In the event that the goods
manufactured by Seller are held to be infringing in
CORNELL PUMP COMPANY
P.O. Box 6334
PORTLAND, OR 97228-6334
such action and their use is enjoined, Seller shall, at
Seller’s expense, modify goods so they become non-
infringing, or, if modification is not possible, refund
the Buyer’s purchase price for the hardware items that
are infringing and remove them at Seller’s sole
expense. Buyer agrees that Seller shall not be liable
and the Buyer shall fully indemnify Seller if
infringement is based upon the use of the goods in
connection with goods not manufactured by Seller or in
a manner for which the goods were not designed by the
Seller or if the goods were designed by the Buyer or
were modified by or for the Buyer in a manner to cause
them to become infringing.
17. GENERAL PROVISIONS: (a) Neither party shall

party, shall acquire all interest of such party hereunder.
Any prohibited assignment shall be null and void. (b)
There are no understandings, Agreements or
representations, expressed or implied, not specified in
this Agreement. (c) No action, regardless of form
arising out of transactions under this Agreement, may
be brought by either party more than two (2) years after
the cause of action has occurred. (d) No representative
of Seller has any authority to modify these terms and
conditions unless the modification is contained in a
written instrument signed by a duly authorized Vice
President of Seller. (e) This Agreement is formed and

specifications may be corrected at any time by the
Seller.
18. INSURANCE: Buyer shall bear all risk of and
responsibility for damage or loss to the equipment after
Seller delivers the equipment to the carrier at its point
of shipment. Buyer agrees to provide and maintain
adequate insurance for the equipment supplied under
the Orders to fully protect Seller’s interest during the
time between delivery and final payment. Loss or
damage by fire or other causes during such period shall
not relieve Buyer from its obligations under the Order.
19. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: Seller’s total liability
for any and all losses and damages arising out of any
and all causes whatsoever including, without limitation,
defects in the goods, services, software, documentation,
or supplied under this Agreement, shall in no event

Warning: Do not remove 1/8” NPT plug from motor drain/vent while pump is in operation. This will nullify
all secondary containment properties and could allow a refrigerant leak if the primary containment
becomes compromised.

Warning: The pump discharge must maintain a minimum 15 PSI differential pressure over the pump suction
pressure at all times while operating. Failure to maintain this differential will result in inadequate
motor cooling and bearing lubrication and may result in damage to the motor and/or bearings,
coolant leakage, and possible serious personal injury.

Warning: The motor coolant/recirculation line valve and by-pass line should be open at all times when the
pump is powered. Failure to open these valves prior to pump operation may result in damage to the
motor and/or bearings, coolant leakage, and possible serious injury.

Warning: If the pump is isolated from the system by closing valves in the suction and discharge lines, the vent
valve (246D) is to be opened. Otherwise, ambient heat may cause excessive pressure in the pump,
leading to casing failure and possible serious personal injury.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
REFRIGERANT PUMP SERIES “HT”
Inspection
Examine pump for freight damage.
Single Stage vs. Multistage Pumps
Cornell hermetic refrigerant pumps can be supplied as either single stage pumps (one impeller) or multistage
pumps (more than 1 impeller). To fully utilize the instructions and understand the warnings in this manual it is
imperative to know what type of pump is being installed. Single stage pump models are: 1.5HT, 2HT, 2HTS,
2.5HT, and 3HT. Multistage pump models are: 1.25HT2, 1.25HT3, and 1.25HT5.
Pump Location
The pump must be located a vertical distance below the recirculation vessel minimum liquid level an amount at
least equal to the pump’s NPSHR plus 2 feet. Place the pump as close to the drop leg as is practical while
allowing for two to three pipe diameters between the suction stop valve and the pump suction flange. Consider
access requirements for normal servicing.
Piping Connection and Support
The minimum pump leg pipe diameter should be the same size as the pump suction but otherwise should be
sized for an optimum velocity of 2 feet per second. A low loss suction stop valve, such as a full port ball valve,
angle valve or butterfly valve, should be located as close to the drop leg as practical and, again, two to three
pipe diameters from the pump suction flange. Piping must be lined up squarely so that pipe flanges and pump
flanges are parallel and not offset. Piping must be supported and expansion joints or bends employed so that
strain is not transmitted to the pump. The pump base should be mounted in such a way as to permit removal of
the rotating element of the pump without removing the volute from the system piping. Pipe flanges connecting
to the pump should be flat faced and have the same size and rating as those of the pump.

When starting up a new system, a temporary 3/16” mesh screen should be placed at the suction of the pump to
catch excess weld shot, and other particulates that may be in the system. THIS SCREEN SHOULD BE USED
NO LONGER THAN 24 HOURS AFTER START-UP. Operating the pump with a clogged or plugged screen
will damage the pump. The screen should be sized to have at least three times the area of the suction pipe.
Suction Vent Lines
Systems with widely or rapidly varying loads and those using horizontal recirculation vessels should have pump
suction vent lines for limiting vapor entrainment into the pump. The suction vent line should be connected to
the top of the suction pipe, just ahead of the pump suction flange. If the suction pipe size is reduced ahead of
the pump by means of an eccentric reducer this reducer may be installed with the flat on the bottom. This
provides a high point where vapor can be trapped and piped away. The suction vent line should be of at least
1.5-inch diameter and should include a valve for isolation. The suction vent must not be connected to a
compressor wet suction and must be connected to the recirculation vessel above the maximum liquid level. A
suction vent should not be teed into a volute vent line (single stage pumps).

Volute Vent Lines – Single stage only

A 1/2-inch refrigeration duty globe valve is mounted on the top of the pump volute for connection to a vent line.
The volute vent line must be connected to the recirculation vessel above the maximum liquid level and should
be sloped so that no liquid can become trapped in the line. For best results, the volute vent should not be
connected to a compressor wet suction line.
Bypass Line
A bypass line is required to maintain a minimum flow through the pump during periods of reduced or zero
system liquid demand. The bypass should be connected from the pump discharge, upstream of any check valve,
to the recirculation vessel. It may be connected to a compressor wet suction line. The bypass should be at least
3/4-inch diameter and should include an isolation valve for service. The flow through the bypass can be
controlled with a throttling valve such as a hand expansion valve, with a fixed orifice or with a constant flow
regulating device. If a fixed orifice or flow regulator is to be used, consult Cornell for minimum flow
requirement for the particular pump model and application.

Adjustment of Bypass Valve: Start with the bypass valve completely open. Close the pump discharge stop
valve and volute vent valve fully. Slowly close the bypass valve until the pump discharge pressure gauge
becomes “shakey” or unsteady or other unsteady pumping conditions are noted. Slowly open the bypass valve
until conditions become stable. Observe the pump long enough to be certain pump operation is stable, then
open the discharge stop valve.
Motor Drain/Vent
A 1/8” NPT connection has been included on the motor for drain/vent purposes. This connection will only be
necessary if the pump and/or motor will be shipped to another location after initial installation and operation.
Contact Cornell for specific instructions.

WARNING
Do not remove 1/8” NPT plug from motor drain/vent while pump is in operation. This will nullify all
secondary containment properties and could allow a refrigerant leak if the primary containment becomes
compromised.

Relief Valves
The pump must be protected from overpressurization by a relief valve in the system set at no higher than 250
PSIG. The pump must not be isolated from this valve while it contains liquid or gaseous refrigerant. During
normal operation the recirculation vessel relief valves may serve to protect the pump, but where the pump may
be isolated from the vessel while containing refrigerant (such as during preparation for servicing) other relief
devices must protect the pump. As a manufacturer of a single component of the refrigeration system Cornell
cannot design or dictate the design or installation of relief systems, but as a minimum Cornell recommends
adherence to ANSI/IIAR 2-1999 “Equipment, Design and Installation of Ammonia Mechanical Refrigerating
Systems,” Section 5.11.1.2 except where this standard is superseded by more stringent standards or code
requirements governing the particular site into which the pumps are being installed.

Motor Coolant/Recirculation Line – Single stage only

WARNING
The pump discharge must maintain a minimum 15 PSI differential pressure over the pump suction pressure at
all times while operating. Failure to maintain this differential will result in inadequate motor cooling and
bearing lubrication and may result in damage to the motor and/or bearings, coolant leakage, and possible serious
personal injury.

The back of the motor (non-drive end) has a 3/4” FNPT and holes to accommodate a standard 3/4" gasketed
flange. An orifice installed in the pump controls the flow through the motor coolant/recirculation line. This
connection must be piped back to the recirculation vessel in the same fashion as the volute vent line. It should
enter the recirculation vessel above the liquid level, be sloped so that no liquid can become trapped in the line,
and not be tied into any other line. A stop valve should be present in the line for isolation when removing the
pump for servicing.

WARNING
The motor coolant/recirculation line valve and by-pass line should be open at all times when the pump is
powered. Failure to open these valves prior to pump operation may result in damage to the motor and/or
bearings, coolant leakage, and possible serious injury.

Gauges
Install gauge valves on the suction side of the pump between the suction stop valve and pump suction flange
and on the discharge side between the pump discharge flange and the first valve (check or stop). When possible
locate the gauge valves at least two pipe diameters away from the pump or the nearest valve, bend or fitting.

Electrical Connections
Motors: Standard Cornell factory supplied motors are dual rated and are either 230 volt, 60 Hz service and 190
volt, 50 Hz service or 460 volt 60 Hz service, and 380 volt, 50 Hz service. The motor nameplates will indicate
which voltages are applicable.

Thermal Protectors: The thermal protector is N/C (normally closed). The thermal protector will open circuit
as the motor approaches the thermal limit (200°C). The thermal protector must be connected in series with
hold-in coil of magnetic contactor or connected to a warning device to sound an alarm. DO NOT apply line
voltage across the thermal protector leads. Thermal protector rating is maximum 5 amps at 120 VAC. If the
current through the thermal protector will exceed this value and intermediate control circuit relay must be used
to reduce the current or the thermal protector will not work properly.
Condensation Protection: Once correct rotation has been determined (see START-UP instructions), and all
connections to the motor have been made, the junction box on the motor should be packed with a water
repelling substance to inhibit the collection of condensed water around the motor leads. Grease, spray-in foam,
or any other non-conducting substance that will expand to fill the junction box cavity and deter the entrance of
water may be used.

Starting the Pump
1. Leak Check. If not already done, check for leaks once pump and associated piping is pressurized.
2. Check for pump rotation. Make sure bypass line is open. Make sure motor coolant line valve is open.
Close vent valve. Open discharge stop valve ½ turn. Start pump and observe steady state discharge
pressure. Pressure should fluctuate briefly and then remain steady as liquid fills the lines. Stop pump and
reverse two of the three power leads to the motor. Start pump again and observe the discharge pressure.
Stop pump. Wire the pump leads to the position that produces the highest discharge pressure, this ensures
proper rotation. Open vent valve.
3. Once correct rotation has been determined, and all connections to the motor have been made, the junction
box on the motor should be packed with a water repelling substance to inhibit the collection of condensed
water around the motor leads. Grease, spray-in foam, or any other non-conducting substance that will

6. Slowly open pump discharge stop valve while observing discharge pressure and pump behavior. If
discharge pressure becomes unstable or cavitation is heard, close discharge stop valve down to the point
where pressure stabilizes.
7. Wait approximately five minutes, then start slowly opening discharge stop valve again. As system becomes
full, further opening of discharge stop valve should not result in unstable pump performance. If, upon fully
opening discharge stop valve, the pump differential pressure* drops more than two to three PSI below the
design differential, it will be necessary to turn down hand expansion valves or other control devices to bring
the pump back up to design differential.

Recommendations
On initial start-ups or after complete defrost, always start the pump before the compressor unless the system has
a method of flow control to limit start-up capacity within the limits of NPSH requirements. In installations
where a standby pump is used, it is best to rotate the standby/duty pump assignment at least every three months.

WARNING
If the pump is isolated from the system by closing valves in the suction and discharge lines, the vent valve
(246D) is to be opened. Otherwise, ambient heat may cause excessive pressure in the pump leading to casing
failure and possible serious personal injury.

STATIC PRESSURE TESTING

REFRIGERANT PUMP SERIES “HT”
Every Cornell refrigerant pump is tested at the factory using nitrogen gas. While at pressure every pressure
containing component is checked with a leak detecting solution for joint and casting integrity. If the pump is to
be further pressure tested as part of the refrigeration system, the maximum test pressure is to be no higher than
300 PSIG. This test may be performed with liquid or gas.

WARNING
Do not operate pump when at test pressure. Failure to follow instructions may seriously damage pump and
possibly result in refrigerant leakage and serious personal injury.

Static Test Procedure

A. Open all valves connected between the volute and accumulator starting with any vent valves. Do not open
any drain valves.
B. Introduce liquid or gas gradually, and slowly raise pressure. Do not exceed maximum test pressure as stated
above.

Draining the Pump
Open vent valve (246D). Close suction, discharge, and motor coolant stop valves and bypass valve. Allow ice
to melt off. As the pump warms, gas forming in the casing will escape through the vent line. Refrigerant can
be removed through drain valve (246E). All liquid and gaseous refrigerant must be removed from the pump
before opening the case.
Bearing Wear
Before motor disassembly, measure the shaft endplay. Compare the measured endplay with the maximum
values listed in the table below. If the measurement exceeds the dimension in the table, the bearings should be
replaced.
After disassembly of motor, measure the inside diameter of the bearings at the point of maximum wear.
Compare this measurement with the maximum values listed in the table below. If the measured diameter
exceeds the diameter in the table, the bearings should be replaced.

Removal of Rotating Assembly from Volute
It is not necessary to disconnect the volute (2) from the piping. The “back pullout” design enables the removal
of the rotating assembly to a workbench for servicing.
Prior to disassembly, prepare a clean workbench where the necessary tools can be laid out and ready. Have a
supply of clean rags handy and the following tools.

Once the pump has been valved off and drained of refrigerant, the motor coolant/re-circulation line can be
disconnected. Next, remove the bolts connecting the motor (55) to the volute (2).
The formed pump support base has slots where it is bolted to the foundation. It should be possible to loosen the
foundation bolts and slide the pump rotating assembly free of the volute.
If there is a misalignment between the volute and the rotating assembly, this will have to be corrected before the
rotating assembly will slide out of the volute. If there is no misalignment and the motor will not easily separate
from the volute, then thread two volute bolts into two threaded jackscrew holes on the motor flange, and tighten
them evenly. The motor will be pushed free of the volute. The entire pump assembly (rotating), less volute,
can now be moved to the workbench for the remaining disassembly.

Disassembly for Bearing Removal
Remove the impeller lockscrew (12) using the 5/16-inch Allen wrench; the impeller (3) can be held stationary
by gripping the outside of the impeller eye with an oil filter wrench or strap wrench.
Insert the two prybars between the impeller backshroud and the motor flange, and apply even pressure. The
impeller should slide off without excessive force. Be sure that someone is holding onto the impeller; if it hits
the floor it may be damaged. Remove the impeller key (28).
Remove the 3/8-inch socket head cap screws on the non-drive end of the motor. Three of these bolts are
supporting the pump base. Remove the bearing housing (100A); this may require twisting the bearing cover to
free it before it will come off. Be careful when removing either bearing housing as the shaft/rotor assembly
may come loose as well. The rotor/shaft assembly is only held in place by the two carbon thrust bearings (20)
contained in the bearing housings (100A, 100).
Remove the four recessed 3/8-inch bolts on the drive end bearing housing (100). Remove the bearing housing;
this may require twisting the bearing housing to free it before it will come off. Be careful when removing either
bearing housing as the shaft/rotor assembly may come out with it. The shaft/rotor assembly is only held in
place by the two thrust bearings (20) contained in the bearing housings.
The bearings can now be knocked out of the bearing housings with a block of wood and a mallet. The bearing
housings should be cleaned of residual adhesive prior to installation of the new bearings.
Bearing Installation
Note: The bearings must be installed with the grooved (thrust) face toward the center of the motor.
Bearings are held into place with LocTite adhesive. Prime bearing and bearing housing surfaces with LocTite
primer 7649. Wait 5 – 10 minutes for primer to adhere to surfaces. Apply LocTite adhesive 680 to both parts
and assemble pump end bearing flush with shoulder in bearing housing. Non-pump end bearing should be
installed flush with the bottom surface of the bore. Install bearing very quickly with turning motion. Remove
excess LocTite from surrounding surfaces. Adhesive will begin to set-up immediately. Allow 2 hours for
adhesive to cure before re-assembly of pump.

Cornell Pump Company

Supersedes 3200-949

Reassembly
After the LocTite has been given the proper amount of time to cure, the pump may be reassembled. Clean the
O-ring groove in the non-pump end bearing housing (100A) and install new O-ring (249C). Install the non-
pump end bearing housing (100A) by positioning in place and attaching using the 3/8-inch socket head cap
screws. Make sure to note that the O-ring is properly positioned in the bearing housing so that it will not be
damaged when tightening the bolts. Also, make sure the base is properly positioned before tightening the bolts
attaching it.
If the shaft/rotor was removed from the pump re-install it now. Clean the interior motor liner and remove any
debris before inserting the shaft/rotor. Be very careful when sliding the shaft/rotor inside the motor or bearings;
damage can result from forcing due to an improper fit or obstructions.
Once the shaft/rotor has been positioned inside the motor, the pump end bearing housing (100) can be installed
and attached using the 3/8-inch bolts.
Install the impeller (3) onto the shaft and fasten using new washer (13), lockscrew (12) and loctite 262. Do not
forget to install the key (28).
Spin the impeller by hand while listening for any rubbing inside the motor, or on the wear ring of the impeller.

Final Reassembly
Now the pump rotating assembly can be reinstalled into the volute. At this point, the volute O-ring groove on
the motor flange should be cleaned and new O-rings (294, 294B) installed. Apply a coat of heavy consistency
oil to the O-rings to aid in installing the backplate into the volute.
Tighten all the volute bolts in an alternating pattern. If, after bolting the motor to the volute, there is a gap
between the pump support base and the foundation, do not bolt the base down. Shim under the support base
before bolting down so that no bending stress is applied to the volute or motor.
Reconnect the motor coolant/re-circulation line. Check all fittings for tightness. The pump is now ready to be
flooded with refrigerant.
Carefully follow the start-up procedures outlined in your manual. If the manual is not available, please contact

this may require twisting the bearing housing to free it before it will come off. Be careful when removing either
bearing housing as the shaft/rotor assembly may come out with it. The shaft/rotor assembly is only held in
place by the two thrust bearings (20) contained in the bearing housings.
The bearings can now be knocked out of the bearing housings with a block of wood and a mallet. The bearing
housings should be cleaned of residual adhesive prior to installation of the new bearings.
Bearing Installation
Note: The bearings must be installed with the grooved (thrust) face toward the center of the motor.
Bearings are held into place with LocTite adhesive. Prime bearing and bearing housing surfaces with LocTite
primer 7649. Wait 5 – 10 minutes for primer to adhere to surfaces. Apply LocTite adhesive 680 to both parts
and assemble pump end bearing flush with shoulder in bearing housing. Non-pump end bearing should be
installed flush with the bottom surface of the bore. Install bearing very quickly with turning motion. Remove
excess LocTite from surrounding surfaces. Adhesive will begin to set-up immediately. Allow 2 hours for
adhesive to cure before re-assembly of pump.

Reassembly
After the LocTite has been given the proper amount of time to cure, the pump may be reassembled. Clean the
O-ring groove in the non-pump end bearing housing (100A) and install new O-ring (249C). Install the non-
pump end bearing housing (100A) by positioning in place and attaching using the 5/16-inch socket head cap
screws. Make sure to note that the O-ring is properly positioned in the bearing housing so that it will not be
damaged when tightening the bolts. Also, make sure the bracket (4) is properly positioned before tightening the
bolt attaching it.
If the shaft/rotor was removed from the pump re-install it now. Clean the interior motor liner and remove any
debris before inserting the shaft/rotor. Be very careful when sliding the shaft/rotor inside the motor or bearings;
damage can result from forcing due to an improper fit or obstructions.
Once the shaft/rotor has been positioned inside the motor, the pump end bearing housing (100) can be installed
and attached using the 1/4-inch bolts.

Reassemble the pump wet-end in the reverse order of disassembly:
1) Install the impeller key (28).
2) Slide a secondary stage impeller (3A) down the shaft.
3) Install the volute (2) using a new volute gasket (11). Tighten the short 3/8 socket head cap screws to
secure the volute.
4) Install a diffuser (2A) with a new diffuser gasket (197).
5) Find the impeller with a hole in the hub (3 or 3B). This impeller must go on second and line up with
transverse hole through the shaft. Slide this impeller onto shaft.
6) For two stage pumps – 1.25HT2, skip to step 17.
7) Install divider (384) into diffuser. Make sure roll pin (61) is present and is extending outward.
8) Install a diffuser (2A) with a new diffuser gasket (197).
9) For five stage pumps, slide a secondary impeller (3A) down the shaft. For three stage pumps, slide
on the first stage impeller (3).
10) For three stage pumps – 1.25HT3, skip to step 17.
11) Install divider (384) into diffuser. Make sure roll pin (61) is present and is extending outward.
12) Install a diffuser (2A) with a new diffuser gasket (197).
13) Slide secondary impeller (3A) down the shaft.
14) Install divider (384) into diffuser. Make sure roll pin (61) is present and is extending outward.
15) Install a diffuser (2A) with a new diffuser gasket (197).
16) Slide first stage impeller (3) onto shaft.
17) Fasten impellers (3, 3A, 3B) using new washer (13), lockscrew (12) and loctite 262.
18) Install suction spool (231) with a new gasket (213).
19) Secure entire wet-end assembly with the long 3/8 socket head cap screws. These bolts should be
alternated while tightened slowly to maintain concentricity of the assembly.
Spin the rotating assembly by hand while listening for any rubbing. If there is rubbing present, loosen the long
3/8 socket head cap screws and retighten; again alternating bolts and tightening slowly.
Final Reassembly
Now the pump can be reinstalled into the system. Re-connect the suction and discharge flanges with new
gaskets. If, after bolting the suction and discharge flanges, there is a gap between the pump support and the
foundation, do not bolt the base down. Shim under the pump before bolting down so that no bending stress is
applied to the volute or motor.
Carefully follow the start-up procedures outlined in your manual. If the manual is not available, please contact
Cornell Pump Company at (503) 653-0330, and arrangements will be made to provide you with the necessary
manual pages.

IMPELLER LOCKSCREW INSTALLATION

Impeller lockscrews are always right hand socket head capscrews. Stainless steel lockscrews are supplied with
Loctite 262, which should be applied to lockscrew thread and shaft thread prior to installation.
Torque for Impeller Lockscrews

First determine size and material of lockscrew, then torque to the appropriate value listed in the table below.
Stainless Steel Lockscrew
Nonmagnetic
Size (302, 303, 304, 316 Series)
.38 – 16UNC 20 Ft-lb
.50 – 13UNC 40 Ft-lb
.62 – 11UNC 90 Ft-lb
.75 – 10UNC 135 Ft-lb
1.00 – 8UNC 265 Ft-lb
1.12 – 7UNC 360 Ft-lb
1.25 – 7UNC 510 Ft-lb
1.50 – 6UNC 875 Ft-lb
Lubrication
Do not lubricate impeller lockscrew or tapped hole or between the lockscrew and the impeller washer or
between the impeller washer and the impeller. Make sure parts are clean and dry; however, it is not necessary
to remove the protective coating from the screw. Lubricated bolts can be overstressed with the torques
indicated.
DO NOT USE LOCKSCREW TO INSTALL THE IMPELLER
CAUTION

Lockscrew failure can damage impeller and volute.

The impeller screw must be of the best material, properly forged and machined to rigid specifications not
available from local suppliers.
Buy only lockscrews available from Cornell to be sure of quality.

Pump Troubles, Their Causes and Their Corrections
HT Refrigerant Pumps
Problem Probable Cause
Loss of prime at start up Vent line has liquid trap, preventing gas
movement to separator.
Vent line feeds to another line instead of
directly into separator
Vent line closed.
Pump started before completely filled with
liquid or before cooled down.
Pump started with discharge valve fully
open.
Suction valve not fully open or partly
plugged.
Loss of prime while pump is System demand reduced to zero because
running all coil, etc., shut-off. Pressure gage goes
to shut-off pressure and loss of prime is
slow.
System demand increased (as after a
defrosting cycle), raising the NPSH
required above the maximum NPSH
available.
Compressor lowers pressure in separator
(for a fast temperature draw down) to a
point where pressure in the suction piping
is lower than the vapor pressure of the
liquids. This results in instant boiling.

Corrective Measure
1. Slope the vent line from the pump to the
separator so all horizontal portions have
slope with no sagging, which could cause a
liquid trap.
2. Vent piping should be directly into
separator above the maximum liquid level.
If lines are combined, arrange valves and
slopes so pump being primed has no liquid
in vent line and has separator pressure.
3. Open valves.
4. Follow “Start-up Instructions” carefully and
allow ample time for system to balance and
pump to cool down
5. Throttle discharge valve at start up to
almost shut-off and open it very gradually.
Maintain pressure just less than shut-off
pressure.
6. Open valve. Compare vacuum gage
readings at pump suction and at separator
when pump is running (but before it loses
its prime). Reading at pump adjusted for
liquid level in separator should be almost
same as separator pressure.
7. Energy used to circulate liquid within the
pump raises temperature of liquid until it
boils and forms gas at eye of impeller.
Open the valve in the by-pass line. Make
sure the by-pass line does not contain a
relief valve (which would normally be
closed). A minimum flow of approximately
10 GPM is required to keep NPSHR down.
8. Make suction line as large as pump suction
and use low loss valve, properly located.
Change system cycling to avoid periods of
high capacity pumping. Install flow control
to limit flow so NPSH available will be
greater than NPSHR. Raise minimum level
in separator or raise separator.
9. Reduce rate of temperature draw down.
10. Frequently temperature draw down and
increased system demand occur together
after defrost and combined corrective
measures are required.
