5.3 Installing the pump/unit  
5
Installation at site  
Before placing the baseplate on the foundation, make sure that  
the concrete foundation is clean and smooth. The complete  
pump unit must be aligned horizontally with the help of a  
precision spirit level.  
5.1 Safety regulations / Special instructions  
Electrical equipment operated in potentially  
explosive atmospheres must comply with the  
relevant explosion protection regulations. This is  
indicated on the motor rating plate. If the equipment is  
installed in potentially explosive atmospheres, the  
applicable local explosion protection regulations and the  
regulations of the test certificate supplied with the  
equipment and issued by the responsible approval  
authorities must be observed and complied with. The test  
certificate supplied must be kept close to the location of  
operation for easy access (e.g. foreman’s office).  
It is imperative that the factory-aligned unit mounted on the  
baseplate be re-aligned after it has been fastened on the  
foundation and after the piping has been connected (precision  
alignment).  
After placing the pump unit on the foundation, align it with the  
help of a spirit level placed on the shaft/discharge nozzle. The  
correct distance between the coupling halves as specified in  
the general arrangement drawing must be observed. Shims  
shall be fitted between the baseplate/foundation frame and the  
foundation itself; they shall always be inserted to the left and  
right of the foundation bolts and in close proximity to these bolts.  
For a bolt-to-bolt clearance > 800mm, additional shims shall be  
used. All shims must lie perfectly flush.  
Centrifugal pumps will only give trouble-free  
operation if carefully installed and properly serviced.  
Note: The pump’s name plate shows the type series, pump  
size, version, main operating data and the works number (see  
also section 4.2).

not warped in axial or radial direction.  
Proceed with utmost care when aligning the unit, as the pump  
unit will only give trouble-free operation when correctly aligned.  
Non-compliance with these instructions will lead to forfeiture of  
all warranty claims.  
Channel section baseplates (up to 400 mm wide) are  
torsion-resistant in their own right; they need not be grouted.  
After fastening, baseplates more than 400 mm wide shall be  
grouted up to the upper frame edge using low shrinkage  
concrete, making sure that no cavities remain.  
Close-coupled pumps  
This unit must not be operated beyond the limit  
values for capacity, speed and temperature  
specified on the name plate. Make sure that operation is in  
accordance with the instructions laid down in this manual  
or in the contract documentation. All values stipulated for  
electrical connection of the unit as well as instructions  
given for installation and maintenance must be adhered to  
without fail. Operation of the unit outside the  
above-mentioned conditions may result in overloads the  
unit cannot withstand.  
It is essential to make sure that the pump is not warped in axial  
or radial direction.  
If pump and motor are supplied separately, place the pump onto  
the foundation without the motor, align with the help of a  
precision spirit level (on the upper flange of the drive lantern),  
then fasten.  
To align the pump, shims shall be fitted between the pump foot  
and the foundation itself; they shall always be inserted to the left  
and right of the foundation bolts and in close proximity to these  
bolts. All shims must lie perfectly flush. Tighten the foundation  
bolts evenly and firmly.  
Skilled, properly trained personnel is essential to ensure  
trouble-free operation of the unit.  
KSB shall not accept any liability if the instructions set  
forth in this manual are not complied with.  
In case of damage or if you need further information please  
contact our nearest customer service centre.  
5.2 Foundation / Checks to be carried out prior to  
installation  
All structural work required must have been prepared in  
accordance with the dimensions stated in the dimension table /  
general arrangement drawing.  
Shim  
The concrete foundations shall have sufficient strength (min.  
class X0) to ensure safe and functional installation in  
accordance with DIN 1045 or equivalent standards.

Prior to checking the alignment/realignment, loosen the pump  
feet and re-tighten without transmitting any stresses or strains.  
Coupling check and realignment must be  
effected even if pump and motor are supplied  
completely assembled and aligned on a common baseplate.  
Caution  
This will avoid that any increase in pump length due to  
thermal expansion will lead to warping and deformation.  
The increase in height of pump and drive due to thermal  
expansion may differ; this has to be considered when  
aligning the coupling of pump units handling temperatures of  
100LC and higher.  
The following equation can serve as a guide to estimate by  
how much the motor has to be elevated in relation to the  
pump:

Thermal expansions of the pipelines must be  
compensated by appropriate measures so as not to  
impose any extra loads on the pump.  
Expansion joints may have to be used. An excessive,  
impermissible increase in the pipeline forces may cause leaks

6.1.1 Lubricants  
Grease-lubricated bearings  
The grease-lubricated bearings are packed with grease at the  
factory (see section 7.2.2).  
Oil lubricated bearings  
Fill oil of ISO VG 46 quality into the bearing cover (see section  
7.2.2).  
6.1.2 Priming the pump and checks to be carried out  
Fig. 15  
Before each start-up, the pump and the suction line must be  
completely vented and primed with the fluid to be pumped. The  
pump has several plugged holes for venting; adequate venting  
devices can be used in the pipelines. The shut-off valve in the  
suction or feed line must be fully open.  
The seal chamber has to be vented when the  
pump is in cold condition before start-up. When  
Caution  
venting in hot condition, steam will escape at the vent plug  
during the venting process (risk of scalding!) Should it not be  
possible to avoid opening the seal chamber in hot condition,  
due to the situation in the plant, a pipe with valve (not included in  
KSB’s scope of supply) must be installed at the vent hole, in  
order to lead the steam escaping during venting to another  
place where there is no danger of scalding. Make sure that this  
valve cannot be opened during operation.  
Fully open all auxiliary connections provided and check the  
throughflow.  
Open shut-off valve ”C” in the vacuum balance line (if any), and  
close the vacuum-tight shut-off valve ”E” (see 5.4.1).  
Dry running will lead to increased wear on the unit  
Caution  
and may eventually damage the pump !  
If the discharge line is equipped with an automatic check valve,  
open the minimum flow valve and secure against inadvertent  
closing.  
Exceptions:  
-
-
-
If there is not enough back pressure in the line prior to  
start-up, the shut-off element must be closed before pump  
start-up.  
On pumps fitted with a mechanical seal, the mechanical seal  
will leak only slightly, i.e. practically invisibly (vapour) during  
operation. It is maintenance-free.  
If the pump is equipped with a gland packing, leakage during  
operation is normal (see 6.1.6).

If the pump has to remain operational during shutdown periods,  
it must be started up regularly for at least 5 minutes (see also  
6.3):  
6.1.3 Contact guard  
In compliance with health and safety regulations the  
pump must not be operated without a coupling guard. If  
the customer specifically requests not to include a coupling  
guard in our delivery, then the operator must supply one.

6.1.4 Connection to power supply  
During these periodic check runs also check the integrity and  
proper functioning of the auxiliary feed lines.  
If the pump is equipped with an electric motor, connection to the  
power supply must be effected by a trained electrician only.  
Check available mains voltage against the data on the motor  
rating plate and select appropriate start-up method.  
Make sure that in the case of three-phase motors with star-delta  
starting method switching over from star to delta will be effected  
at very short intervals. Prolonged switch-over intervals will  
result in pump damage.  
6.1.7 Final check  
After the pump has been primed, it must be easy to rotate the  
coupling/ shaft by hand.  
There must be no impermissible leakage at the shaft seal  
during pump operation.  
Gland packing  
Time relay setting for star-delta starting  
The gland packing has been fitted in the factory. Its permanent  
compression can only be set after several hours of pump  
operation. During this running-in period, gland leakage will be  
higher than during normal pump operation. Check the  
temperature of the leakage.

Start-up procedure  
-
-
The discharge-side shut-off valve must be closed.  
Start-up must proceed without abnormal vibrations or  
noises.  
An automatic check valve installed must open steadily when  
the operating speed has been reached, without abnormal  
noise, vibrations or increased power consumption of the  
unit.  
for  
a
sufficient running-in period would cause  
a
local  
temperature rise and insufficient lubrication, resulting in the  
destruction of the gland packing, premature wear on the shaft  
protecting sleeve and higher, uncontrollable leakage.  
-
For speed controlled pumps or fluctuating inlet pressure, no  
gland packing should be used, if possible. Changing pressures  
make it difficult to set an even and controlled leakage rate.  
-
-
Open the discharge-side shut-off valve.  
After the duty point has been reached, check motor input  
power and bearing temperature.  
Should such conditions occur, leakage of the  
Caution  
After the operating temperature has been reached, switch off  
the pump and re-tighten the bolts at the connecting flanges.  
gland packing must not be prevented under any  
operating conditions. At increased inlet pressure and/or  
increased speed, the inevitably higher leakage of the gland  
packing must not be reduced by re-tightening the gland bolts.  
The minimum leakage rate must only be set at the lowest speed  
and/or lowest inlet pressure.  
In the event of abnormal noise, vibrations,  
Caution  
temperatures or leakage, switch off the unit  
immediately and re-start it only after the cause for the problem  
has been eliminated.  
Increased temperatures at the rolling element bearings after  
commissioning are caused by the running-in process. The final  
bearing temperature will be reached only after a certain  
operating period (up to 48 h, depending on operating  
conditions).  
Mechanical seal  
The mechanical seal assembly has beenadjusted andinstalled  
in the factory. It is maintenance-free. Check the seal for leakage  
occasionally.  
During commissioning, increased leakage may occur for a  
short period of time. If leakage remains high, immediately  
switch off the pump and investigate the leakage cause, e.g.  
contaminated fluid handled or previous dry running due to  
inadequate venting of the pump unit.  
6.1.6 Shutdown  
Close the shut-off valve in the discharge line.  
If the discharge line is equipped with a non-return or check  
valve, the shut-off element may remain open if there is sufficient  
backpressure.  
Cooled mechanical seal (seal code 64)  
If the pump is fitted with a cooled mechanical seal (seal code  
64), vent the seal chamber as described in 6.1.1.  
-
-
-
Switch off the motor, making sure that the unit runs down  
smoothly to a standstill.  
For prolonged shutdown, close the shut-off valve in the  
suction line. Also close the auxiliary feed lines.  
The shaft seal in pumps where the liquid is fed in under  
vacuum must also be supplied with barrier liquid during  
standstill.  
6.2  
Operating limits  
The hydraulic system is designed for pure or slightly  
contaminated liquids (max. solids content: 20 ppm). Make sure  
that the operating limits indicated in the order confirmation are  
complied with.  
-
In the event of frost and/or prolonged shutdowns, the pump  
must be drained or otherwise protected against freezing.  
6.2.1 Temperature of the fluid pumped

6.2.2 Switching frequency  
Prolonged shutdown periods should be avoided in the case of  
pumps in material variants 10, 13, 20 and 21 (cast-iron  
variants), particularly if the pumps are handling aggressive  
water qualities (high oxygen content). In such cases, the pump  
should remain filled, and the operation check run should be  
performed at least every other day, instead of once a month or  
once every 3 months (see also 6.1.5).  
In the event of frost and/or prolonged shutdowns, the pump  
must be drained and protected against freezing and corrosion.  
To drain the pump, open drain plug 6B.  
The permissible number of start-ups in a given period of time  
depends on the circumstances prevailing in the plant and the  
operating conditions. Overloading of the motor may generally  
result in:  
-
an abnormal increase in motor temperature exceeding the  
temperature limit of the winding or bearing grease  
premature coupling wear  
reduced service life of the pump components  
irregularities or malfunctions in the plant  
-
-
-
To prevent abnormal temperature increases in the motor and  
excessive loads on the motor, coupling, pump, seals and  
bearings, the switching frequency must not exceed the  
following number of start-ups per hour (h):  
In the case of horizontal pumps, virtually  
Caution  
complete drainage of the stage casings in

from 11 to 45 kW  
45 kW and higher  
Drain the pump as completely as possible. On vertical pumps,  
this can be done by opening the drain plugs on the suction  
casing.  
Horizontal pumps with drain holes in the stage casings  
(optional) can be drained almost completely by opening the  
drain plugs. The pump can also be drained by bringing it into a  
vertical position - suction nozzle pointing downwards - by crane  
(see 3.1). Turn the rotor by hand. However, the seal housing  
must still be drained separately by opening the respective drain  
plug.  
6.2.3 Minimum flows  
The pump must not be operated against a closed gate valve.  
The minimum flows required are defined as follows.  
For MTC 32, MTC 50 and MTC 65, the required minimum flow  
for continuous operation is:  
t
-10 to + 100 LC  
15 % of Qopt  
20 % of Qopt  
25 % of Qopt  
t > 100 to + 140 LC  
t > 140 to + 200 LC  
If the pump cannot be drained completely, we  
recommend to dismantle it and dry the individual  
components.  
For MTC 100, MTC 125 and MTC 150, the minimum flow  
required for continuous operation, independent of the  
temperature, is:  
Afterwards fill the pump with a water-repellent preservative, e.g.  
RUSTELO DEWATERING 924 (producer CASTROL)  
OSYRIS DW (producer TOTAL) or equivalent.  
Turn the pump rotor by hand several times, to ensure even  
distribution of the preservative. Then drain the pump and close  
the suction and discharge nozzle.  
0.35 x Qopt.  
For MTC 100, MTC 125 and MTC 150 an additional, short--term  
minimum flow of 0.25 x Qopt. has been defined, which is  
permitted for up to 1 hour’s uninterrupted operation and approx.  
200 h/year.  
The minimum flows indicated for MTC 32 to 150 above are for  
single pump operation and will prevent thermal and mechanical  
overloading of the pump. In case of parallel operation with  
pumps of identical or different design higher flow rates may be  
required in some cases, to guarantee a stable operating  
behaviour.  
Exposed blank metal parts must be treated with a suitable  
anti-corrosive agent.  
If the pump is preserved for a prolonged storage  
Caution  
period with KLÜBERTOP K 01-601 or another  
glycol-base preservative, the preservative must not be drained.  
In this case, the pump must be completely filled with  
preservative for storage. The preservative must be drained  
before the pump is returned to service. It can be re-used. Before  
re-use, make sure that the water content in the preservative  
does not exceed 20%.  
6.2.4 Density of fluid pumped  
The pump input power will increase in proportion to the density  
of the fluid handled. To avoid overloading of the motor and  
pump, the density of the fluid must comply with the data  
specified on the purchase order.  
6.4  
Returning to service after storage  
Before returning the pump to service, carry out all instructions  
laid down in the sections on ”Commissioning” (6.1) and  
”Operating limits” (6.2).  
6.3  
Shutdown / Storage / Preservation  
Immediately following completion of the work, all  
safety-relevant and protective devices must be re-installed  
and/or re-activated.  
6.3.1 The unit / pump remains installed; periodic check of  
operation  
In order to make sure that the pump is always ready for instant  
start-up and to prevent the formation of deposits within the  
pump and the pump intake area, start up the pump set regularly  
once a month or once every 3 months for a short time (approx. 5  
minutes) during prolonged shutdown periods. Follow the  
instructions for commissioning (see 6.1).

Servicing / maintenance  
On grease-lubricated units, the rolling element bearings of the  
MTC32 and the non-drive end rolling element bearings of the  
MTC50 and MTC65 in design C and D are lubricated for life and  
do not require re-lubrication. For this reason, no lubricating nip-  
ples are provided on the bearing brackets.  
7.1  
General instructions  
The operator is responsible for ensuring that all maintenance,  
inspection and installation work be performed by authorized,  
qualified personnel who are thoroughly familiar with the  
manual.  
A regular maintenance schedule will help avoid expensive  
repairs and contribute to trouble-free, reliable operation of the  
pump with a minimum of maintenance expenditure and work.  
Before commencing any work on the unit, always  
make sure that the drive unit (electric motor, turbine,  
I.C. engine, ...) cannot be started up.  
Pump  
Depending on the pump version, the rolling element bearings  
are either grease-lubricated or oil-lubricated.  
Grease quality / Grease change  
The bearings are packed with high-quality lithium-soap grease.  
Depending on the size and the operating hours of the pump, the  
rolling element bearings must be re-lubricated or the grease in  
the rolling element bearings must be replaced.  
Pumps handling liquids posing health hazards must  
be decontaminated. When draining the fluid pumped  
see to it that there is no risk to persons or the environment.  
All relevant laws must be heeded.

Caution  
Max. permissible room temperature 40 LC.  
If re-lubrication intervals are short, we recommend to  
completely replace the grease once a year. If this is not the  
case, the grease fill must be replaced completely at least every  
two years. For this purpose, the rolling element bearings must  
be removed, cleaned and packed with new grease.  
Under unfavourable operating conditions, e.g. high ambient  
temperature, high atmospheric humidity, dust-laden air,  
aggressive industrial atmosphere etc., the bearings shall be  
checked earlier and cleaned and packed with new grease, if  
required.  
The bearing temperature may exceed room temperature by up  
to 50 LC, but must never rise above 90 LC (measured on the  
outside of the bearing bracket), see also section 7.4.4.1.  
Do not run the pump against a closed shut-off valve for  
prolonged periods of time so as to avoid heating up of the  
fluid pumped.  
Caution: For required minimum flows please refer to section  
6.2.3.  
During pump operation the shut-off valve in the suction  
line must not be closed.  
Use a high-quality lithium-soap grease, free of resin and acid,  
not liable to crumble and with good rust-preventive  
characteristics. The grease should have a penetration number  
(NLGI class) between 2 and 3, corresponding to a worked  
penetration between 220 and 295 mm/10. Its drop point must  
not be below 175LC. The bearing cavities must only be  
half-filled with grease.  
If required, the bearings may be lubricated with greases of other  
soap bases. Since greases of differing soap bases must not be  
mixed, the bearings must be thoroughly cleaned beforehand.  
The re-lubrication intervals required must then be adjusted to  
the greases used.  
The mechanical seal shows only slight or invisible (vapour)  
leakage during operation. It is maintenance-free.  
Gland packings must leak slightly (individual drops).  
Any stand-by pumps installed shall be switched on and then  
immediately off again once a week to keep them operational.  
Attention shall be paid to the correct functioning of the auxiliary  
connections.

Thoroughly clean all dismantled components and check their  
condition. Careful examination may help to find the cause for  
pump failure, if any. If in doubt, replace the components. Always  
replace parts which are subject to wear (gaskets, O-rings,  
casing wear rings, rolling element bearings).

7.3.3.2 Dismantling the drive-end rolling element bearings  
N.B.: The ceramic bearing installed at the non-drive end need  
not be dismantled in order to remove the drive-end rolling  
element bearings. If the pump is oil-lubricated, the oil must be  
drained before dismantling.  
The rotating unit is adjusted axially by means of  
spacers 551.1. When reassembling the pump  
after partial dismantling (bearing or seal replacement), the  
same spacer discs 551.1 must be mounted on the bearing side  
to reproduce the original rotor adjustment.  
Caution

Reassembly  
The pump shall be reassembled in accordance  
Caution  
with the rules of sound engineering practice.  
-
-
Under no circumstances use force.  
Due to their weight, some pump components must be  
supported during reassembly.  
-
-
Before reassembly, the locating surfaces of the individual  
components must be coated with a mounting aid in  
compliance with hygienic and safety regulations.  
The properties of new pump components must not be  
altered without prior consultation with our technical  
departments.  
-
-
-
The parts must be clean and free from shavings or dust.  
Reassembly is effected in reverse order to dismantling.  
The tightening torques indicated must be complied with.  
Avoid the use of mounting aids as far as possible. Should a  
mounting aid be required after all, use a commercially  
available contact adhesive, e.g. Pattex, Hylomar or Epple  
33, after prior consultation with our technical departments.  
The adhesive shall only be applied at selected points and in  
thin layers. Do not use cyanoacrylate adhesives  
(quick-setting adhesives).

7.4.1 Tightening torques - Tie bolts, part No. 905  
Tighten the gland cover by hand at first. Use a feeler gauge to  
check the level position of the gland cover. It must be easy to  
turn the rotor by hand.  
Leakage is normal during pump commissioning. After approx. 5  
minutes’ operating period, the amount of leakage can be  
reduced by steadily tightening the nuts of the gland cover by 1/6  
of a turn. Keep an eye on the amount of leakage and the water  
temperature. It takes several hours of pump operation for the  
gland to be adjusted completely. There must be a high leakage  
rate during the running-in period.

Reassembly of the hydraulic system starts at the suction end  
and proceeds towards the discharge end. It is advisable to  
place the pump in vertical position for reassembly. The  
sequence of reassembly does not pose any special problems  
and shall be realized in accordance with the detailed sectional  
drawing and list of components. The components shall be  
re-installed in the same place as before dismantling.  
A clearance of 0.7 to 1.2 mm shall be set between the last  
impeller 230.1 or 230.3 and the balance drum 59-4 (or spacer  
sleeve 525.4).

Gland packing  
Before re-packing, thoroughly clean the packing chamber and  
the gland cover.  
Packing rings must be inserted so that the cut  
edge of each ring is displaced by approx. 90L to  
120L in relation to the previous one.  
Caution  
Slip the pre-stressed packing rings onto the shaft protecting  
sleeve, press home the first packing ring with the help of the  
gland cover. Each packing ring must be pressed into the  
packing chamber individually, using the gland cover.  
On gland packings with lantern ring (for vacuum operation), the  
lantern ring is mounted instead of the next to last packing ring  
(the last packing ring is located in the seal chamberon thepump  
side).

Mechanical seals  
Mechanical seals are precision components. The  
seat ring and the spring-loaded ring must always  
be replaced together, i.e. always replace the entire mechanical  
seal.  
7.4.3.1 Leakage at the mechanical seal  
-
-
-
Check axial alignment of the seal.  
Inspect gasket 400.1.  
Remove seal cover 471.1 (471.2 for bellows-type seals) and  
check position of seat ring in the seal cover.  
Check the O-ring on sleeve 523.1.  
Caution  
To ensure trouble-free operation of the mechanical seal, the  
seal faces and the tools must be absolutely clean. Mechanical  
seals must be installed with utmost care.  
The contact faces shall only be cleaned immediately before  
assembly takes place. They must not be greasy (grease,  
smudges ...) or damaged.  
Individual seal components such as O-rings made of EPDM  
must never come into contact with oil or grease.  
Mechanical seal reassembly is effected in reverse order to  
dismantling.  
When mounting the spring-loaded ring, we recommend to wet  
the shaft protecting sleeve with clean fluid handled.  
The seat ring and the spring-loaded ring shall always be  
mounted by hand resp. fingers, making sure that pressure is  
applied evenly, without tilting.

-
Check O-ring 412.4.  
7.4.4 Bearings  
Plain bearing  
in installation types A - B - E / Ex - F / Fx - V / Vx are re-installed in  
reverse order to dismantling.  
Rolling element bearings  
The rolling element bearings are generally mounted on the  
bearing sleeve and tightened with shaft nut 920.2 / 920.6 /  
920.7.  
They are re-installed in reverse order to dismantling. The  
position of the keywayed nuts 920.6 (contact surface = plane  
surface with recess) marked during dismantling (7.3.3.2) must  
be complied with.  
Check the concentricity and face run-out of ring 500.1 with adial  
gauge for variants with oil lubrications.

If there is no suitable torque wrench available for tightening the  
shaft nuts, proceed as follows, depending on the pump version:  
After installation of the bearings, the following checks shall be  
made:  
Self-locking nut on drive end (or non-drive end on versions  
C und D)  
-
Grease-lubricated bearings: Check the clearance  
between cover 360.1 and bearing housing 350.1 after  
having tightened bolts 901.1. There should be a clearance  
between 0.2 mm and 0.8 mm. Cover 360.1 must not rest on  
the bearing housing 350.1.

Fixed bearing  
The fixed bearing is the coupling-side bearing at the coupling  
end. Pump size 32 is equipped with deep-groove ball bearings.  
The other pump sizes are fitted with angular contact ball  
bearings in X arrangement (see sectional drawing).  
The spacer discs 551.1 serve to position the rotor in axial  
direction.

Axial adjustment of the rotor is not required. The correct axial  
position of the rotor is achieved by inserting spacer discs 551.1  
to a total thickness of 1.6 mm (1 x 1 mm + 3 x 0.2 mm) in bearing  
housing 350.1 on the side of the bearing (or angular contact ball  
bearings).

by inserting spacer discs 551.1 on both sides of  
the bearing (or angular contact ball bearings) to a total  
thickness of 1.6 mm each.  
Cover bolts 901.1 (or 901.8 for oil-lubricated bearings) must  
be tightened in diagonally opposite sequence to the following  
torques:  
MTC 32/50/65 :  
30 Nm

The same rolling element bearings are installed for oil  
lubrication as for grease lubrication.  
Exception: Instead of bearing type 6309 ZZ C3-HT, rolling  
element bearing type 6309C3 is used for oil lubrication.

Radial bearing  
7.5.2  
Repairs  
Versions C and D are equipped with a deep-groove ball bearing  
as radial bearing. (The other versions are fitted with a plain  
bearing in the suction casing). The outer race of the  
deep-groove ball bearing must have axial play. The bearing is  
installed without spacer discs 551.1.  
Clearance between impeller 231 and suction casing:  
Sizes 32 to 65 for material codes 10,11, 12, 13:  
Re-working the suction casing and mounting a spare casing  
wear ring as per ZN 1095 and re-working the impeller.  
For other pump sizes and material codes:  
Replacing the casing wear ring 502.1 with a spare ring as per  
ZN 1095 and re-working the impeller.  
Clearance between impeller 230 and disc 550.1 or casing  
wear ring 502.2  
(Sizes 125 and 150):  
Replacing the casing wear ring 502.2 with a spare ring as per  
ZN 1095 and re-working the impeller.  
(Sizes 32 to 100):  
Two repair methods are possible:  
a) Replacing the impellers 230 and discs 550.1 by new ones.  
Quick repair method, no re-work of parts required.  
b) Re-working the impellers 230 at the impeller eye by deposit  
welding and subsequently machining to the original diameter.  
This repair method is used for impellers made of stainless steel.  
Clearance gaps between impeller 230 and diffuser:  
a) Re-working the impellers at the sealing gaps of the hubs.  
Re-working the diffusers and installing an interstage bush as  
per ZN 140.  
b) Should hub thickness be insufficient after re-working, replace  
the impeller or fit a spacer sleeve (see drawing below). The  
spacer sleeve must be driven by the impeller key. Make sure  
that the load-carrying key length in the impeller is at least 2/3 of  
the total (load-carrying) key length.  
Fig. 42  
7.4.4.1 Temperature of the rolling element bearings  
The temperature of the rolling element bearings,  
Caution  
which run at 3000 1/min and more, can be 90LC.  
Manual temperature checks are not sufficient !  
-
The bearings only reach their normal operating temperature  
after several hours of operation.  
-
When a new pump is started up, the bearing temperature  
may exceed 95LC. After 2 or 3 operating hours it will sink  
slowly and level out to a constant value after approx. 1 week.  
A temperature rise may occur after service activities  
comprising replacement of the bearings or dismantling of the  
hydraulic system.  
-
Should the temperature exceed 100LC during start-up, switch  
off the pump and perform the following checks:  
-
-
Check whether the unit is correctly aligned.  
Remove the bearings, check grease quantity.  
Excessive amounts of grease will cause increased  
temperatures.  
-
-
Verify bearing type and arrangement (see 7.4.4.4)  
Re-start the pump. Ensure tight press fit between outerraces  
and cover (fixed bearing).
