2.10 Explosion protection

Always observe the information on explosion protection given in this section when operat-
DANGER
ing an explosion-proof pump set.
Sections of the manual marked by the Ex symbol apply to explosion-proof pump sets also
when temporarily operated outside potentially explosive atmospheres.
2nly pumps/pump sets marked as explosion-proof and identi¿ed as such in the datasheet
must be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Special conditions apply to the operation of explosion-proof pump sets in accordance with
EC Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX).
When operating explosion-proof pump sets, especially adhere to the additional require-
ments marked by the Ex symbol.
The explosion-proof status of the pump set is only assured if the pump set is used in accor-
dance with its intended use. Never operate the pump (set) outside the limits stated in the
data sheet and on the nameplate.
Prevent impermissible modes of operation at all times.

3 Transport/Temporary Storage/Long-Term Storage/Disposal

3.1 Consignment receipt and unpacking
Immediately upon receipt, check that the number of boxes and pieces received is the same
as shown on the freight bills. Each product has a unique serial number. Check that this
number corresponds with that advised and always quote this number in correspondence as
well as when ordering spare parts or further accessories. Check for shipping damage. Note
any shortages or damages on the carrier’s copy of the freight bill prior to signing. Report
these damages or shortages to the factory or your local factory representative immediate-
ly.
Boxes, crates, pallets or cartons may be unloaded using fork lift vehicles or slings depen-
dent on their size and construction. If facilities are not available for lifting the materials off
the carrier’s vehicle, use skids for unloading rather than allowing the parts to drop to the
ground. Even though a pump is made up of heavy steel parts, it is a piece of machinery
and it is essential that its parts be handled with care. It is extremely easy to damage shaft-
ing, threaded parts, and mating surfaces of parts which must ¿t together. Even a minor
bend in one piece of shafting can cause a pump to vibrate excessively; thus shortening the
life of the pump drastically.
Also check that the parts received are all of the parts required for the installation. Report
any shortages or errors to the factory or your local factory representative immediately.
Follow the Manufacturer’s instructions for handling and storing the driver and any other
special equipment.
3.2 Transport
The pump (set) could slip out of the suspension arrangement Danger to life from falling
DANGER parts!
- Always transport the pump (set) in horizontal position.
- Never attach the suspension arrangement to the free shaft end or the motor eyebolt.
- Refer to the weights given in the general arrangement drawing.
P a g e |5
ARYA SEPEHR KAYHAN
- Observe the local accident prevention regulations.

- Use suitable permitted lifting tackle, e.g. self-tightening lifting tongs.
Incorrect transport of the pump Damage to the shaft seal!
For transport, lock the pump shaft with a suitable transport lock to prevent any movement
of the shaft.
To transport the pump/pump set suspend it from the lifting tackle as shown below:
For lifting the driver Depending on the pump size the

refer to the dimension pump unit is packed separately
drawing of driver. from the Can, or is put partially
into the Can.
Use suction & discharge

nozzles for lifting the
pump without can and
driver.
4 pieces lifting screw A crane must be used for

only for CAN lifting all pump sets in excess of
25 kg (55 lb).
Fully trained personnel must
carry out lifting, in accordance
with local regulations. The driver
and pump weights are recorded
on their respective nameplates.
Note:
In some cases the pumps are not complete assembled. If Can and supporting Àange are
delivered separately, lifting shall be performed as follows:
Suction barrel (also referred as µCan’) is supplied together with supporting Àange and has
to be installed into the sump ¿rst. Suction barrel and supporting Àange are delivered
assembled together. Install 4 lifting screws (also referred as ‘Eye Bolts’) on the supporting
Àange and attach slings and straps to bring the suction barrel to a vertical position. Move
the barrel for installation. Provide hand support to prevent the suction barrel from swaying
during movement.
3.3 Storage and preservation
3.3.1 Temporary Storage
Normal packaging is designed to protect the pump during shipment and for dry, indoor
storage. To avoid any damage during the storage period, the inÀuence of any low or high
frequency vibration must be totally inhibited. If the pump is delivered sealed in a
plastic-wrapper, it is of max. importance to avoid any damage of that wrapper, because
this will protect the pump against humidity. Therefore it must be checked if this wrapper
has become cracked and if so, the wrapper must be renewed.
P a g e |6
ARYA SEPEHR KAYHAN
If a vertical pump will be stored in horizontal position, be sure to support the pump
suf¿ciently to avoid any deformation or bending of the pump.
To avoid the presence of dust and humidity on the driver, it shall also be wrapped in the
same way.
3.3.2 Long term storage
If a situation arises for a long-term storage, ( more than 6 months) please contact ASK for
special storage instructions and warranty related information.
3.4 Return to supplier

1. Drain the pump as per operating instructions.
2. Always Àush and clean the pump, particularly if it has been used for handling noxious,
explosive, hot or other hazardous Àuids.
. If the Àuids handled by the pump leave residues which might lead to corrosion damage
when coming into contact with atmospheric humidity, or which might Ignite when coming
into contact with oxygen, the pump set must also be neutralized, and anhydrous inert gas
must be blown through the pump for drying purposes.
4. Always complete and enclose a certi¿cate of decontamination when returning the pump
set. It is imperative to indicate any safety and decontamination measures taken.
3.5 Disposal
Fluids posing a health hazard!

manner.
4 Description of the Pump (Set)

4.1 General description
9ertical Barrel Pumps are single suction, multi stages, radially split, diffuser, vertical can
pumps, primarily designed for plants handling liquids with low suction heads.
This pumps are according to API 610 type 9S6. The wide range of available according to
special condition. The inline design allows single pipe connection and requires minimal
space. Altogether, this makes the 9S6 the pump of choice for the most critical applications
where space considerations or marginal NPSHA values preclude the use of a horizontal
multistage pump.
/iquid is Àowing through the suction Àange of the headstock and through the Can to the
impellers. The last stage impeller is discharging the liquid via the column pipes, to the
discharge Àange. The thrust is balanced by back wearing rings and balancing holes.
The headstock is equipped with a drain connection, which allows to Àush the Can with Nitro-
gen before disassembly. A vent connection for the suction is standard.

5 Installation at Site
5.1 Safety regulations
Installing electric equipment (motors) in potentially explosive atmospheres
Risk of explosion!
- Comply with the applicable local explosion protection regulations.
P a g e |9
ARYA SEPEHR KAYHAN
- Verify the test certi¿cate of the motor.

- Keep the test certi¿cate close to the location of operation (e.g. in the foreman's of¿ce).
5.2 Location
When equipment has been in storage for greater than 6 months, a complete inspection
should be conducted in accordance with section 3.3.2. The pump should be located to allow
room for access, ventilation, maintenance and inspection with ample headroom for lifting
and should be as close as practicable to the supply of liquid to be pumped.
Refer to the general arrangement drawing for the pump dimensions and details.
5.2.1 Inspection prior to installation
Six months prior to the scheduled installation date, a ASK representative is to be employed
to conduct an inspection of the equipment and the facility. If any deterioration of
equipment is noticed, the ASK representative may require a partial or complete
dismantling of the equipment including restoration and replacement of some components.
5.2.1 Part Assemblies
With exception of the Can the pumps are delivered completely mounted and adjusted; also
the shaft seal is in the correct position. So no further axial alignment of the rotor is
necessary. If drivers and/or seal systems are delivered separately, refer to corresponding
sectional drawing.
Axial alignment and rotor setting axial adjustment need to be distinguished. For correct
axial adjustment of the rotor refer to section 5.4 and consult ASK.
5.2.2 General installation check-list
The following checks should be made before starting actual installation.
a) Make sure that motor nameplate ratings and the power supply system match correctly.
b) Check the sump depth and pump length matchup.
c) Check the installation equipment to be sure that it will safely handle the pump weight
and size.
d) Check all pump connections (bolts, nuts etc.) for any shipping and handling related
problems.
Always support shafting in at least three places when lifting or installing. No installation
should be attempted without adequate equipment necessary for a successful installation.
CAUTION
Always check motor rotation before connecting driver to pump. Reserve rotation due to
improper motor direction can cause extensive damage to the pump.
5.3 Foundation
The foundation shall be located on a place that allows a minimum of pipe work and that is
easily accessible for inspection during operation. According to the environment the
foundation may consist of concrete or of steel. It must be rigid and heavy enough to absorb
normal vibrations and shocks. The Àange of the Can must be supported on the whole
surface. It should be at least 20–30 mm (0. – 1.2 in) higher than the surrounding to avoid
the deposit of dust and humidity.
5.3.1 Vertical alignment
Vertical alignment is done with leveling screws. Use a spirit level for correct horizontal
alignment of the baseplate.
The max. vertical misalignment is 0.5 mm/m pump length.
5.3.2 Steel foundation
When the pump unit is mounted directly on structural steel frame, it shall be well
supported by structural beams. It is recommended to check the natural frequency of the
steel frame, because it shall not coincide with the pump speed. The Àange of the Can has
to be ¿xed on a Àat surface with studs or hex screws, the exact horizontal alignment is very
important!
P a g e | 10
ARYA SEPEHR KAYHAN
5.3.3 Concrete foundation

3/4” TO 1-1/2”
A concrete foundation must have an exact ALLOWANCE
horizontal alignment and must be placed FOR *ROUT
on solid ground. First a basic foundation LEVELIN* SHIMS FINISH *ROUTIN*
shall be built with square shaped holes for
embedding the foundation bolts. After
putting the Can in the foundation the
proper alignment can be obtained by
adjusting it with shims under the Àange.
Now insert the foundation bolts and
grout the space between the basic founda-
tion and the Can with grouting cement
(refer to illustration) It is very helpful to
use a properly made and stable wooden DAM
frame around the Can. So the grouting

cement will not Àow a side. When the grout-
ing is totally set and hardened the founda-
tion bolts shall be tightened in a ¿rm and TOP OF FOUNDATION LEFT
symmetrical way.
5.3.4 Final assembly for not complete assembled pumps
Pumps exceeding a total length of approximately 6 m (19.7 ft) are delivered in various
components and must be assembled on site. The main parts are: hydraulic bowls section
- various line shafts and column pipes - Pump head and bush bearings.
To install the pump in the Can, refer to the corresponding assembling drawing where the
different lengths of column pipes and the position of the various column pipes are indicated
and contact with our head of¿ce for more instructions.
5.4 Initial alignment

The adjustment of motor and pump must
be checked (if necessary, make a new
adjustment) before ¿rst start up of the
unit. The motor Àange is equipped with
adjustment-screws on the motor support.
Ensure pump and driver are isolated electri-
cally and the half couplings are disconnect-
ed. Align the motor to the pump, not the
pump to the motor. Alignment of the motor
is achieved by using the adjustment
screws.
5.4.1 Permissible misalignment limits at working temperature
When checking parallel alignment, the total indicator read-out (TIR) shown is twice the
value of the actual shaft displacement.
The pump is only pre-aligned! Carefully check and readjust alignment before start of the
unit. Take out the spacer of the coupling and check the alignment of shafts end of pump
CAUTION
and driver. The maximum parallel offset should not exceed 0.05 mm (0.002 in.) and the
axially offset can be ± 2.5 mm (0.10 in.). The coupling spacer gap length shall be ± 0.25
mm (0.01 in.).
For more details refer to the manufacturer’s procedure of alignment.

5.5.4 Final check

After connecting the piping to the pump, rotate the shaft several times by hand to ensure
no pipe strain.
If pipe strain exists, correct piping.
5.6 Electrical connections
Electrical connections must be made by a quali¿ed Electrician in accordance with relevant

DANGER local national and international regulations.
It is important to be aware of the EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE on potentially explosive areas

where compliance with IEC60079-14 is an additional requirement for making electrical
connections.
It is important to be aware of the EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE on electromagnetic compatibility

when wiring up and installing equipment on site. Attention must be paid to ensure that the
techniques used during wiring/installation do not increase electromagnetic emissions or
decrease the electromagnetic immunity of the equipment, wiring or any connected devic-
es. If in any doubt contact ASK for advice.
The motor must be wired up in accordance with the motor manufacturer's instructions
(normally supplied within the terminal box) including any temperature, earth leakage,
current and other protective devices as appropriate. The identi¿cation nameplate should
DANGER
be checked to ensure the power supply is appropriate.
A device to provide emergency stopping must be ¿tted.

If not supplied pre-wired to the pump unit, the controller/starter electrical details will also
be supplied within the controller/starter.
See section 6.3, Direction of rotation before connecting the motor to the electrical supply.
CAUTION
5.7 Final shaft alignment check

After connecting piping to the pump, rotate the shaft several times by hand to ensure there
is no binding and all parts are free. Recheck the coupling alignment, as previously
described, to ensure no pipe strain. If pipe strain exists, correct piping.
5.8 Protection Systems

The following protection systems are recommended particularly if the pump is installed in
a potentially explosive area or is handling a hazardous liquid. If in doubt, consult ASK.
If there is any possibility of the system allowing the pump to run against a closed valve or
below minimum continuous safe Àow a protection device should be installed to ensure the
temperature of the liquid does not rise to an unsafe level.
If there are any circumstances in which the system can allow the pump to run dry, or start
up empty, a power monitor should be ¿tted to stop the pump or prevent it from being start-
ed. This is particularly relevant if the pump is handling a Àammable liquid.
If leakage of product from the pump or its associated sealing system can cause a hazard it
is recommended that an appropriate leakage detection system is installed.
To prevent excessive surface temperatures at the bearings, it is recommended that
temperature and/or vibration monitoring is done on a regular basis.

6 Commissioning, Startup, Operation and Shutdown
These operations must be carried out by fully quali¿ed personnel. Turn off power supply
CAUTION
for safety while pump commissioning is in progress.
6.1 Pre-commissioning Procedure

The gland Àush supply to be in place. Flush piping to be checked for leaks. Mechanical seals
to be checked for leaks, Àush Àow and pressure.
a) The bearing housing must be ¿lled with the indicated oil. Check also the oil level.
b) Check all vent connections for complete ¿lling of the pump. The venting procedure can
take from 10 minutes up to 2 hours, depending on the kind of Àuid.
c) Check the direction of rotation of the pump (Coupling spacer dismantled). Should be
counter clockwise when viewed from the driver end.
d) The pump rotor and the shaft seal must be in correct axial position.
e) Check the readiness of all auxiliary systems (seal sys., lubrication system etc.,) for start-
up.
f) All pipe work, including the internal and the auxiliary pipe work, must be connected
correctly and must be absolutely tight. Check the tightness of all connections of the auxilia-
ry pipe work. The suction valve must be open, the discharge valve shall be closed or partial-
ly open as required.
g) Turn the pump by hand, if required with the help of a lever, to check the free rotation
of the rotor. The rotor must turn uniformly and noiselessly. Some resistance may be felt
due to the friction in the bearings and seals.
h) Check the readiness of the driver for startup. Refer to the manual for the driver to be
sure that all precautions are in place to energize the motor.
6.2 Pump lubricants
6.2.1 Lubrication
The bearing housing shall be ¿lled with proper lubricating oil prior to start up. If the pump
will be started after a longer storage period, the bearing housing should be ¿rst Àushed
and cleaned with gasoline. It is not necessary to remove the preservation oil as this will
mix up thoroughly with the lubrication oil. Lubrication is provided by the pumping effect of
the rotating ball bearings. Maintaining the correct oil level (middle of the oil sight glass)
ensures that the lower ball bearing is covered with oil.
6.2.2 Oil change
After ¿rst start up, the oil shall be changed after 200 service hours.
Every further oil change shall take place after about 2000 service hours or at least every 6
month.
6.2.3 Oil level
The correct oil level is in the middle of the oil sight glass and shall be checked when pump
is not in operation.
Periodically check if the lubricating oil is mixed with any condensed water. Careful opening
of the oil drain during a stop of the pump will show any water.
Note:
During operation the level will decrease due to circulation of the oil through the bearings.
A too high oil level will result in higher bearing temperatures and therefore poorer lubrica-
tion.
P a g e | 14
6.2.4 Oil quality
Oil used for lubrication should only be of high quality. The viscosity of the oil at working
temperature must be at least 10 cSt. The pouring point of the oil must be in accordance
with the lowest expected temperature of the bearing housing during a stop of the pump.
For recommended lubricating oils refer to the lubrication table.
Having selected the corresponding oil quality the actual oil temperature at the bearing
housing must be checked after two service hours of the pump.
Considering this measured oil temperature the actual viscosity must be determined by
using the data sheet of the oil, to verify the minimum required viscosity of 10 cSt. Do not

reason may be a wrong oil quality, wrong oil level or overload of the pump because of
excessive wear.
If the humidity at the site is high, the bearings become easily rusty during stand still
periods. To avoid that, we recommend to mix the lubricating oil with a corrosion inhibitor
contact your lubrication oil supplier for proper additives inhibitors.

c) For Àashing hydrocarbons vent lines are usually piped back to the suction tank or to the
Àare. Keep vent lines open at least for 30 minutes before starting the pump and check
suction pressure und suction temperature against the speci¿cation. For Àashing hydrocar-
bons, the vent line shall remain continuously open during operation in order to prevent
build up of vapour bubble or gas in the inlet area of the pump. Otherwise we recommend
to start the pump with vent lines slightly open. If a constant bypass line with a 3 mm (0.12
in.) ori¿ce is installed, it must be open at any time.
d) Auxiliary systems, e.g. barrier /buffer Àuid systems, cooling circuits, shall be ¿lled
according to the user instructions.
6.5 Starting the pump
a) Start the driver according to the speci¿cation. (Refer to driver IOM)
Note:
Pumps are usually started against closed discharge valve
b) Check the discharge and suction pressure gauge to verify the pumps delivered head.
Open the discharge valve slowly, until the pump reaches the speci¿ed operation point.
The pump must operate smoothly, and the vibration must be below 5 mm/s (0.2
in./sec) (API 610 vibration limits).
The discharge valve must be opened within 30 sec. after start up. Longer operation
against closed discharge valve will damage the pump. If a minimum Àow valve is
installed, take pressure gauge readings to verify the correct operation.
Note:
If the backpressure of the discharge pipe is suf¿cient, pumps can be started against
open valve.
Ensure that your driver is capable deliver the higher torque required by starting against
open valve.
To prevent the pump from reverse rotation after shut down, the installation of a check
valve is recommended. Although the pump is not affected by reverse rotation because
of special coupling design, it can be an issue with the driver.
Check the discharge and suction pressure gauge to verify the pumps delivered head.
The pump must operate smoothly, and the vibration must be below 5 mm/s (0.2
in./sec) (API 610 vibration limits). If a minimum Àow valve is installed, take pressure
gauge readings to verify the correct operation.
c) Check the pipe system against any leakage.
d) Check the mechanical seal against any leakage.
Note:
Right after start up a minor leakage of the mechanical seal is quite normal. Normally
this leakage disappears after few minutes of operation.
6.6 Operation
a) Verify that the pump is operating within the speci¿ed limits, min/max Àow, pressure,
temperature, vibration, power
b) The bearing housing temperature shall not exceed 0 C (176 F). If higher bearing
temperature are observed, check the viscosity grade of the used lubrication oil.
Note:
If the pump is equipped with hydrodynamic thrust bearing refer to bearing manufactur-
er’s IOM and to recommendation for maximum bearing temperature.
The minimum viscosity is 10 cSt at the expected oil temperature. (Oil temperature
CAUTION bearing gland temperature 10 C (50 F))
P a g e | 16

c) From time to time check the pump shaft seal. Leakage of 5ml/hour is also with a mechan-
ical shaft seal unavoidable.
d) Check the correct venting of the Can and the headstock by opening the valve in the vent
line for short time. When the condition of service is near the boiling point, a permanent
vent line with a 3 mm ( 0.12 in.) ori¿ce (to inhibit the exit of too much liquid) must be
installed back to the suction tank. This will ensure that any suction and NPSH problems
can be avoided during normal service.
e) Observe the power consumption of the pump to detect excessive wear.
6.7 Stopping and Shutdown
a) Close the outlet valve, but ensure that the pump runs in this condition for no more than
a few seconds.
b) Stop the pump.
c) Switch off Àushing and/or cooling/ heating liquid supplies at a time appropriate to the
process.
d) For prolonged shutdowns and especially when ambient temperatures are likely to drop
below freezing point, the pump and any cooling and Àushing arrangements must be
drained or otherwise protected.
Note:
For automatic start/stop operation of the pump, ensure that all steps described in
section 6.4, 6.5 and 6.6 are implemented in the control logic.
6.8 Hydraulic, mechanical and electrical duty
This product has been supplied to meet the performance speci¿cations of your purchase
order, however it is understood that during the life of the product these may change. The
following notes will help the user to decide how to evaluate the implications of any change.
If in doubt contact ASK.
6SHFL¿FJUDYLW\6*
Pump capacity and total head in meters (feet) do not change with SG, however pressure
displayed on a pressure gauge is directly proportional to SG. Power absorbed is also
directly proportional to SG. It is therefore important to check that any change in SG will
not overload the pump driver or overpressurize the pump.
6.8.2 Viscosity
For a given Àow rate the total head reduces with increased viscosity and increases with
reduced viscosity. Also for a given Àow rate the power absorbed increases with increased
viscosity, and reduces with reduced viscosity. It is important that checks are made with
ASK if changes in viscosity are planned.
6.8.3 Pump speed
Changing pump speed effects Àow, total head, power absorbed, NPSHR, noise and
vibration. Flow varies in direct proportion to pump speed. Head varies as speed ratio
squared. Power varies as speed ratio cubed. If increasing speed it is important therefore to
ensure the maximum pump working pressure is not exceeded, the driver is not overload-
ed, NPSHA!NPSHR, and that noise and vibration are within local requirements and
regulations.
1HWSRVLWLYHVXFWLRQKHDG136+$
NPSH available (NPSHA.) is a measure of the energy available in the pumped liquid, above
its vapour pressure, at the pump suction branch. NPSH required (NPSHR.) is a measure of
the energy required in the pumped liquid, above its vapour pressure, to prevent the pump
from cavitating. It is important that NPSHA !NPSHR. The margin between NPSHA !NPSHR
should be as large as possible. If any change in NPSHA is proposed, ensure these margins
are not signi¿cantly eroded.
P a g e | 17
ARYA SEPEHR KAYHAN
Refer to the pump performance curve to determine exact requirements particularly if Àow
has changed. If in doubt please consult ASK for advise and details of the minimum allow-
able margin for your application.
