INTRODUCTION:
Proper use of these instructions will increase reliability and performance of the horizontal
surface pumping system (HPump). Reading this manual before operation will provide the most
benefit. The manual should be kept close to the equipment or in a convenient location. These
instructions are intended to be general guidelines. Specific questions should be directed to your
Centrilift sales and service representative.
SECTION ONE:
Healthy, Safety, and Environment Considerations
A. INSTALLATION CONCERNS
B. OPERATION CONCERNS
• Never operate equipment without proper guarding and shutdown systems in place.
• Never operate the equipment at dead head or no flow conditions.
• Never operate equipment outside its recommended operating range.
• Be aware of extremely hot or cold surfaces (motor, HTC, pump, etc.).
• Never smoke or use open flame around equipment.
C. MAINTENANCE CONCERNS
• Never apply heat to remove any component (i.e. induction heaters and torches).
• Remove jewelry (rings, watches, necklaces, etc) when working on rotating
equipment.
• Always use the buddy system.
• If abnormal operating conditions cause the pump to reach 482° F, do not handle
fluro-elastomer parts (i.e. Viton o-rings) without wearing proper PPE. The
decomposition of the elastomer will make the parts hazardous.
• Dispose of used lubricants and drained fluids in an environmentally conscious
manner using approved containers.
SECTION TWO:
Equipment Component Descriptions
A. OVERVIEW
Major components of the system are a Centrilift multi-stage centrifugal pump, horizontal
thrust chamber (HTC), fluid intake and discharge, instrumentation, and a driver mounted
on a common fabricated steel skid.
IOM Manual Revision Date: Feb. 2008
Page Number: 7 of 34
B. SKID
The skid is a fabricated steel assembly that provides a platform to mount the driver, HTC,
pump, and any associated instrumentation. The complete system is typically laser aligned
at the factory prior to shipment. The skid’s rigidity minimizes misalignment during
transportation, installation, and operational shock and vibration.
C. DRIVER
HPump systems can use a wide variety of motors and engines. For specific information,
refer to the manufacturer’s nameplate or IOM manual.
I. DRIVER COUPLING
Grid-style couplings are used to connect the thrust chamber to the motor.
Close coupled and spacer styles are offered. The spacer coupling allows
for removal and service of the HTC without disturbing process piping.
Refer to Appendix C for coupling IOM manuals.
IOM Manual Revision Date: Feb. 2008

The Horizontal Thrust Chamber (HTC) is an oil lubricated device that serves three
purposes. The first purpose is to transmit the torque from the motor to the pump. The
second purpose is to isolate the motor from the thrust produced by the pump. The third
purpose is to seal the pumped fluid from the environment.
The thrust chamber uses a modular mount to accommodate various motor shaft heights.
Four different HTC models are offered based on thrust capacity required: 1.XE, 1.XT,
3.X, and 875. Each HTC is comprised of a housing, a shaft, bearings, shaft seals, and a
mechanical process fluid seal. A variety of instrumentation is offered to monitor HTC
vibration, lubrication oil level, and temperature.
I. 1.XE / 1.XT
The 1.XE and 1.XT are foot mounted thrust chambers. The 1.XT uses a
different thrust bearing assembly and an oil cooler system to achieve
higher thrust capacity.
IOM Manual Revision Date: Feb. 2008
Page Number: 9 of 34
II. 3.X
The 3.X is a flange mounted HTC. The motor end is bolted to a vertical
mount. The 3.X is capable of higher thrust loads than the 1.XT. The 3.X
requires a pressurized oil lubrication and cooling system.
III. 875
The 875 HTC is a foot mounted assembly. This HTC has the same
footprint and uses the same style mount as the 1.XE and 1.XT. This thrust
chamber has the same thrust capacity as the 3.X and also requires a
lubrication system.
The 4.X and 5.X HTC are used in cartridge seal applications. The 4.X is a
modified version of the 3.X HTC. A 5.X HTC is a modified version of the
1.XE/1.XT. In both versions, a longer shaft is added to accommodate a
seal chamber and cartridge seal.
IOM Manual Revision Date: Feb. 2008

The process fluid seal is designed to keep the pumped fluid from escaping
to the environment. Typically the seal is installed in the head of the HTC
or in the seal chamber. A variety of mechanical seals and seal flush
systems are available to meet each application. Fluid properties and
service conditions dictate the type of seal and flush system to be provided.
Manufacturer IOM manuals for Centrilift’s standard offering of seals can
be found in Appendix A.
E. INTAKE ASSEMBLY
The welded intake assembly bolts to the pump and the HTC. The intake allows fluid to
enter the pump. Intakes are offered in a variety of pipe sizes and flange classes to match
different pumping conditions. Intake orientation can be changed in the field (minimum
90° increments) to match the piping location.
F. PUMP

Bolted Bowl
IOM Manual Revision Date: Feb. 2008
Page Number: 12 of 34
G. DISCHARGE ASSEMBLY
The welded discharge assembly bolts to the pump head. The discharge directs the
pressurized fluid out of the pump. A variety of pipe sizes and flange classes are offered to
match pumping conditions. The discharge assembly consists of a lap-joint type flange
which is free to rotate around the stub pipe to facilitate bolt alignment.
H. INSTRUMENTATION
The HPump standard instrumentation package monitors the following: HTC vibration,
HTC oil level, and pump intake and discharge pressures. Instrumentation to measure
HTC oil temperature is available upon request. The instruments can be wired to a
Centrilift variable speed drive or a customer’s control system to safeguard the equipment.
Manufacturer IOM manuals for Centrilift’s standard instrumentation can be found in
Appendix B.
SECTION THREE:
Storage and Handling
A. STORAGE
If the HPump unit is not going to be installed and operated soon after it arrives on site,
secure and store it. Storage procedures should also be considered if the unit ever sits idle
for more than 30 days. The storage environment should be clean, dry, and well ventilated.
Preferably, this will be an indoor, protected, and secure environment. If stored outdoors,
the unit should be placed on concrete or wooden supports. Additionally, the unit should
be covered to avoid direct exposure to the weather. Never store the unit near sources of
vibration or in the vicinity of welding activity.
IOM Manual Revision Date: Feb. 2008
Page Number: 13 of 34
I. MOTOR
Fill the thrust chamber with oil to prevent oxidation. 1.XE, 1.XT, and 875
thrust chambers should be capped during storage to avoid oil leakage.
Typically the HTC shaft should be turned by hand 15-30 revolutions every
30 days to avoid false brinelling of the bearings. On HTC models
equipped with a desiccant breather, monitor and replace per the
recommendations in Appendix E.
III. PUMP
For long term storage, the pumps should be filled with a preservative
(antifreeze or oil) and capped.
Store spares, loose shipped items or electrical components in a similar manner, preferably
in a secure and climate controlled indoor location.
B. HANDLING
IOM Manual Revision Date: Feb. 2008
Page Number: 14 of 34
• Confirm that lifting equipment is appropriately rated for the weight of the entire
skid assembly.
• All chains, slings, spreader bars, and shackles should also be appropriately rated.
• Use a four point lift to move the skid and mounted equipment.
• Do not allow rigging to contact the mounted equipment.
• Avoid jarring the skid.
• Never attempt to lift the skids from anywhere except the provided lifting eyes.
• Individual components should be lifted via appropriately rated slings.
• Lift tandem skid sections separately. Never lift the skids when bolted together.
• For heavy components that require maintenance or removal, or that ship loose and
require installation, use 2 man lifting techniques with correct lifting devices.
SECTION FOUR:
Installation
A. GENERAL
Site installation of a new unit should include the following steps. Refer to the specific
topic within this section for more information.
B. FOUNDATION
I. ONSHORE INSTALLATION
The skid requires support at each anchor location. Metal shims are normally used. Shims
should be a minimum of 8 x 8 inch (203 x 203 mm) steel or steel alloy plates, in a
selection of 1/8 inch (4 mm) thick and greater, depending on surface irregularities. The
quantity of shims at each anchor location should be minimized. The steps below should
be followed in the order presented:
1. The skid should be placed between the anchor bolts and leveled lengthwise with a
48” long digital level. The skid should be leveled within 0 to 1/10 of 1°. A
hydraulic jack placed under skid cross member beams may be used to raise the
skid for shimming.
CAUTION: Do not use the hydraulic jack directly on the intake assembly,
the pump housing, or the discharge flange.
2. In order to ensure that the factory alignment is maintained once the skid is level
lengthwise, it must be leveled laterally. Starting at the motor end, place the level
across the skid and secure the bottom beam flange to the foundation with the first
two anchor bolts. After tightening each bolt, check the level to make sure the skid
has not deflected. If deflection occurs, adjust the quantity of shims at the anchor
bolt location until no level change is registered.
3. Working towards the discharge end of the skid, securely tighten each pair of
anchor bolts. Continue to adjust the quantity of shims if necessary. Check the
level laterally above each bolt location to be sure the skid is free of twist.
4. If installing tandem skids, level the second skid lengthwise following the same
procedure as Step 1.
5. Insert the dowel pins in the skid connection plates. Loosely bolt the plates
together.
IOM Manual Revision Date: Feb. 2008
Page Number: 16 of 34
6. Place the level laterally across the connection plates. Adjust the shim packs on the
extension skid until the plates are level to each other. Firmly tighten the
connecting plate bolts.
7. Following the procedure in Step 3, tighten the remaining anchor bolts.
D. PIPEWORK
Piping to the intake and discharge connections should have at least 0.5 inch/13 mm of
flexibility in all directions. Where conditions do not allow rubberized piping or couplings,
other methods (such as a heat loop) are strongly recommended. This allows for thermal
expansion of the pump and pipe work. Another benefit is isolation from mechanical
shock.
NOTE: Piping entering or leaving the unit should be straight for 5-10 times
the nominal pipe diameter. This will prevent cavitation and other flow
restriction problems.
I. INTAKE PLUMBING
The intake may be rotated by removing the bolts fastened to the intake
body through the HTC and pump head flanges. Do not rotate the HTC
head or pump base. The intake can then be carefully rotated to the desired
IOM Manual Revision Date: Feb. 2008
Page Number: 17 of 34
position. Ensure that the bolts are reinstalled with thread lubrication and
tightened securely. New HTC and pump o-rings should be installed any
time the intake is removed. Before reinstalling, check that the pump and
HTC shaft extensions are properly set.
CAUTION: Do not use the shipping cap bolts to install the discharge.
Discharge bolts are specially designed to handle the
high fluid pressure.
For applications where the pump could be started and operated at a very
low discharge pressure for several minutes (example: injection well on
vacuum), a choke valve must be installed to allow backpressure to be
simulated. This will reduce equipment up thrust wear damage.
Soft foot is another name for distortion. This condition exists when the frame of a
component is deformed during attachment to the skid. Soft foot results in high vibration
and misalignment. The distortion is caused by mounting surface imperfections, usually
on motors, HTC brackets, and 1.XE/1.XT and 875 HTC models. A dial indicator or laser
alignment system can diagnose which surface is causing the soft foot condition. It can be
corrected by shimming each mounting location separately.
IOM Manual Revision Date: Feb. 2008
Page Number: 18 of 34
Laser alignment should be performed when installing the motor, pump, or HTC. The
alignment between all components should also be checked before and after installing
piping. Centrilift recommends that a hot alignment be performed after approximately 24
hours run time. This ensures optimal service life.
F. DRIVER
Two types of drivers are generally used on HPump units. Electric motors are the most
common choice. In some locations, an electric motor may be impractical. For these
applications, diesel or natural gas engines can be used.
I. MOTOR
Rotation is counter clockwise when facing the non-drive end of the motor.
TEFC type motors are normally equipped with condensation drain plugs in
the bottom of each end shield. If present, these should be removed prior to
startup. If using a sleeve bearing motor with a limited end float kit,
properly locate the motor magnetic center before installing the coupling
assembly.
II. ENGINE
Switches and/or sight glasses provide monitoring functions for the unit. Standard
instrumentation available includes: HTC vibration, HTC fluid level, pump intake and
discharge pressure switches. Optional HTC oil temperature instrumentation is available
upon request. Appendix B contains the manufacturer’s installation information for
Centrilift’s standard instrumentation.
On the 1.XE and 1.XT HTC, a visual sight level gauge is standard equipment. On all
HTC models, only the thrust chamber oil level switch will be plumbed during factory
assembly. Typically the intake and discharge pressure switches will be mounted to the
skid but not plumbed. For optimal accuracy, the intake and discharge pressure switches
should be plumbed to the customer’s piping system.
Typically, instrumentation wiring and wiring connections will not be provided by the
factory. Instructions on connecting instruments to a Centrilift VSD should be obtained
from the Controls Engineering group. Refer to the set point charts that follow for
instructions on configuring each instrument.

I. STANDARD INSTRUMENTATION
SECTION FIVE:
Operation
A. GENERAL
The multi-stage centrifugal pump is designed to operate over a specific range of pressures
and flows. A copy of the specific application design is available from your Centrilift sales
representative. It is calculated from the published head/flow curve for the specific pump
stage type. Operation outside this range may cause thrust wear to the stages and a
reduction of equipment life. Operation within the recommended range increases
efficiency and reduces power costs. Minimum intake pressure will vary with the pump
type and series. Contact your Centrilift sales representative for more information.
B. START UP PROCEDURES
There are several items that need to be checked at the initial startup and whenever the
system has been shutdown for a significant period of time.
• Verify that the pump turns the proper direction by “bump” starting the driver.
• Check thrust chamber oil level sight glass or gauge for sufficient oil prior to starting
the pump.
• If equipped with an HTC cooling system, start the system before operation and make
sure all air is purged from the system.
• Check the installation of all bolting, piping and wiring.
• Check all gauges, valves, and instrumentation for proper working order. Verify that
instrumentation trip settings are properly set and operational.
• Make sure the suction valve is fully open.
• Ensure that the pumps are primed and any gas has been purged.
• Check to be sure the discharge valve is at least 25% open. It may be necessary to
adjust back pressure to stay within the pump application range until the system has
stabilized.
• Verify that the unit is level and free of excessive vibration (when operating).
IOM Manual Revision Date: Feb. 2008
Page Number: 22 of 34
• If operating with a variable speed drive, start at a reduced speed to check components
for leaks at a reduced pressure.
C. PUMP
I. FLUID SUPPLY
Ensure that intake line valves are open and that fluid is available from the
tank and/or suction header. If a boost pump is being used, it should be in
operable condition. Intake filters, if any, should be clean.
II. PURGE
Bleed any air from the intake line, pump intake, and pump. Ensure that the
pump is primed and flooded prior to start-up.
For the 1.XE and 1.XT, check the HTC oil level in the sight glass and add oil if necessary
(oil level should be within the area identified on the sight glass decal). The oil level
should be checked while the equipment is running and warm. If too much oil is added, oil
may run out the shaft seals.
NOTE: External lube oil pump systems must be started before the main
driver is started for proper lubrication.
3.X thrust chambers have a remote oil reservoir on top of the heat exchanger. There is a
sight glass on the reservoir.
875 thrust chambers do not have a sight glass. Refer to the oil level plumbing drawing in
Appendix D for instructions on checking and adjusting the oil level.
E. DRIVER COUPLING
Ensure that the coupling guard and other safety equipment are in place prior to startup.
The standard coupling is a steel flex grid type suitable for the application horsepower and
RPM. The steel flex design should be greased per the manufacturer’s IOM manual and
the service schedule shown in Section Six. Refer to Appendix C for standard coupling
IOM manuals.
Other coupling types are available upon request. For special couplings, refer to the
manufacturer’s IOM manual.
F. MOTOR
The driver is normally a two pole (3600 RPM) electric motor with either ball type anti-
friction or sleeve type journal bearings on each end of the shaft. It should not be operated
beyond the speed limits set by the manufacturer. Follow lubrication instructions on the
driver nameplate. Refer to the motor manufacturer’s performance datasheet or nameplate
for frequency, speed, voltage, amperage, and service factor information.
G. ENGINE
Optionally, a gas or diesel fueled driver may be supplied. Operation of this engine should
be per the manufacturer’s operating manual.
require some form of lubrication oil cooling. Refer to the manufacturer for
more information.
I. OPERATING CHECK
All gauges and instruments should indicate safe and normal conditions and pump speed
should be verified. If trouble occurs, shut the system off and refer to the troubleshooting
chart in Section Seven.
J. SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES
CAUTION: Do not close the suction valve until the pump shaft stops rotating.
K. INSTRUMENTATION
Instrument trip points should be verified and properly set prior to operation. A general set
point chart can be found in Section Four. If using Centrilift’s standard instrumentation,
refer to Appendix B for the manufacturer’s operation instructions.

III. ALIGNMENT
I. PUMP
A worn pump can produce down thrust at a level far beyond the original
design limits of the thrust bearings. This down thrust can be very
destructive, causing premature bearing failure. If you experience the need
for thrust chamber replacement, investigate the wear condition of your
pump.
III. DRIVER

Industrial Thermocouples Return to Industrial Thermocouples Index
Thermocouple Installation
1. Carefully select the location and insertion depth at a point where the temperature is most likely representative of the
process temperature. It is important to avoid stagnant areas of the measured media which do not have representative
temperatures.
2. Locating the thermocouple where the hot end can be seen assures visual confirmation of the junction location.
3. Immerse the thermocouple far enough to ensure that the measuring junction is entirely included in the temperature area
to be measured. a depth ten times that of the diameter of the protection tube is recommended. Heat which is conducted
away from the hot junction will cause a lower reading due to "stem loss."
4. Keep the connecting head and cold junction in coolest ambient temperature available.
5. To prevent breakage due to thermal shock, never insert a ceramic tube into a hot area rapidly. Preheat gradually while
installing.
6. Avoid direct flame impingement on protecting tube. Impingement shortens the tube life and causes temperature readings
to be inaccurate.
7. When measuring high temperatures, install the thermocouple vertically, whenever possible. Such installation minimizes
sagging of the tube or sheath.
1. Be sure to select the correct type of extension wire for a given calibration of thermocouple. (See Bulletin 300).
2. Use the color coding of individual wires as a guide for connecting the negative wire to the negative-wire terminal at both
the thermocouple connection head and the instrument. Red is always Negative (-).
3. To prevent spurious EMF due to electrostatic and electromagnetic noise, never run thermocouple extension wire in same
conduit, parallel to the conduit or near any power source. Keep thermocouple wire at least 12" from power source.
4. In "high noise" areas, use thermocouple extension wire with twisted and shielded conductors and a drainwire.
5. Select the proper insulation to meet the specific conditions under which it must perform. (See Bulletin 300).
General Maintenance
1. Monthly maintenance checks are usually sufficient for base metal thermocouples. Individual conditions, however, may
require more frequent checks.
2. Keep rotary switches clean and free of oxidation at contact points.
3. When reinserting a thermocouple, it is extremely important that the depth of insertion not be changed. Be especially
careful not to decrease the depth. Wires which are not homogeneous, due to exposure to the process, will cause errors in
regions of temperature gradients.
4. A type K thermocouple should not be exposed to temperatures of 1600° F or higher if it is to be used for accurate
measurements below 1000° F.
5. Do not use thermocouples with burned-out protecting tubes. Thermocouples can become damaged with contamination if
allowed to remain within tubes of poor condition.
6. If thermocouples are to be connected in series, parallel or differential, refer to the diagrams on Page 3.
