1.8 Alteration of the machine

and of spare parts
No alteration or modification may be undertaken
without prior agreement of the manufacturer.
Genuine spare parts and accessories specified by
the manufacturer contribute to safety. The
manufacturer of the machine cannot be held
responsible in the event of accident related to the
use of parts other than genuine parts.
During the guarantee period, any repairs or
modifications can be made only by our fitters or
with our agreement.
1.9 Non-observance of safety

instructions
Safety related to the correct operation of the
machine can be guaranteed only if the
instructions in this manual are respected, as well
as the conditions and operational limits mentioned
in the data sheet attached.
1.10 Warranty / guarantee

The Sterling SIHI guarantee is satisfied only
under the following conditions:
x The pump is installed and operated in perfect

compliance with the instructions and under
conditions approved by Sterling SIHI.
x All modifications will be submitted for Sterling
SIHI's approval before implementation.

2.3 Construction and operation

CEHA pumps are side channel, multicellular, self-
priming pumps designed with up to 8 stages, hav-
ing a horizontal configuration and offering numer-
ous metallurgical variants.
They allow for the simultaneous pumping of gas
and liquid.
The use of a pre-compression turbine at the suc-
tion end makes it possible to obtain a very small

provided.

x As liquefied gases may give off oxides,

suitable filters must be provided to prevent
oxides from entering the pump. These must be
cleaned at regular intervals.
x Degassing piping must be installed between
the flow stabilizer piping and the gas phase of
the tank at the suction end (see installation
diagram). This piping must be 25 to 50 mm (1’’
to 2’’) in diameter
x If the pump is to be used for several tanks
with various mixtures of liquefied gases and
different vapour pressures, high performance
non-return valves must be mounted on the
pump discharge end. This is to prevent the
liquid which is being pumped from returning to
the suction end when gate-valves are
actuated.
x When draining several tanks with only one
pump, a device allowing for isolation of the
empty tank must be installed, to prevent any
gas from entering the other tanks.
x Before each start-up, make sure that the pump
is filled with liquid. It is recommended to fit a
degassing lever valve below the outlet valve.
When filling the pump this valve is kept open
continuously, until the liquid comes out.
x In order to check the liquid level, a level detec-
tor must be installed to prevent the pump from
dry operation. A special design exists which
makes it possible to add a retention stage di-
rectly on the pump (CEH..../7).
x Keep the pressure balance line open at the
end which supplies to the tank.
x When using the pump in explosion hazard
areas, make sure that the various ancillaries
are in conformity with the current safety
standard.
x At pump start-up, the outlet gate-valve is to
remain half open. If this valve is fully opened,
there is the danger that the pump will operate
beyond its specification range and this leads to
the formation of vapour in the pump.

7.8 Checking after assembly
Caution
1. Check that the pump rotates freely by hand.

2. Check and if required, correct the tightening
torque of the tie bolt nuts. Leave the pump
several hours before operating it (to allow the
sealing compound to dry).
3. Perform a hydrostatic test under maximum
pressure equal to 1.3 times the rated pressure
(see the data sheet for the definition of the
rated pressure). Choose a test liquid compati-
ble with the pumped product.
4. After the test, check the tightening torque of
the tie-bolts, correct if necessary.

When installing in the plant, observe the notes
shown in chapter 5.

9.6 Appendix – CEHA pump – Assembling bodies
Groove Mark (external side)
Suction body 1090 Discharge body 1140 / 1141

Fig.9.5
The suction bodies 1090, and discharge bodies 1140 and 1141 together with a vane impellor form a stage.
The foundry marks I, II, III, IV, are visible on the external sides of the bodies. Assembly is carried out by
juxtaposing the marks with the upper generating line as indicated on the assembly drawing; for this, use the
foundry groove visible outside the bodies. The foundry groove in the body 1080 is always located opposite
the foundry groove in body 1090 which precedes it.
CAUTION
If the specified angular position of the stages, as defined, is not respected, pump performance will be
adversely affected.
CEHA pumps can comprise up to 8 stages in regular models.

In models with a stage cooling chamber or a retaining stage, the latter take the place of a hydraulic stage, so
the pump will be able to take only 6 or 7 hydraulic stages (depending on the case); this fact must be taken
into account when evaluating the desired characteristics.

9.7 Appendices - Technical data summary

When using CEHA pumps, the following technical data must be taken into account.
Self-priming pump
Direction of rotation: anti-clockwise facing the end of the pump drive shaft
RP: 40 bars
Max. admissible P*: 40 bars at 120°C / 32 bars at 180°C
Test Pressure: 52 bars (1.3 times the rated pressure)
Max. admissible viscosity*: 300 mm²/s
Max. n*: 1800 rpm
*These limits are not valid for all products or all types of construction. For use in conformity and in complete
safety, take into account the existing requirements (standards) concerning the type of sealing and cooling.
Number of stages: 1 to 8 stages maximum (in case of the use of a retaining stage, it takes the place of a
hydraulic stage).
Connecting flanges: as per DIN 2501, PN 40, (positions and dimensions: see dimension drawing).
Bearings: sleeve bearing at the pump end, ball bearing at the drive end

Lubrication: 1 plain bearing at the pump end lubricated by the pumped product, 1 ball bearing at the drive
end lubricated for life.

Temperature limits
Minimum temperature of pumped liquid = - 40 °C *
Maximum temperature of pumped liquid = 120 °C *
180°C for high temperature execution *
*These limits are not valid for all products or all types of construction. For use in conformity and in complete
safety, take into account the existing requirements (standards) concerning the type of sealing and cooling.
Maximum permissible temperature of pumping liquid

The highest temperatures usually occur on the pump casing surface, on the bearing housing in the area of
the anti-friction bearings and on the casing cover near the mechanical seal. A dry running must be prevent.
The temperature occurring on the pump casing is almost the same as that of the liquid handled
A maximum temperature of 80°C, if grease lubricated, can be expected in the area of the anti-friction
bearings, provided the requirements for appropriate pump operation are met and regular
maintenance on the bearings is provided. Insulation of the bearing housing is not permissible.
If the pump is adequately filled with liquid, the temperature of the liquid handled in the shaft seal area
should not increase by more than 15°C for dead end operation with a single acting mechanical seal.
With double-acting mechanical seals the temperature rise depends largely on the flushing or sealing
ring (if there is any doubt, please contact Sterling SIHI).
Thus, the following theoretical maximum temperature of the liquid handled as a function of the temperature
class according to EN 13463-1 is obtained. The maximum operating temperature of the pump as well as the
operating limits of the mechanical seal must be observed (if there is any doubt, please contact Sterling SIHI
or the mechanical seal manufacturer).
Temperature class Max. temperature of

T4 120 °C
T3 185 °C
T2 285 °C
