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
• Always follow established HSE procedures.

• Always wear proper PPE (eyes, hearing, clothing, footgear, hard hat, etc).
• Always properly ground all electrical equipment.
• Always follow correct startup procedures and read user manuals.
• Verify correct driver rotation before operation, or after any electrical work has
been done.
• When lifting any equipment, follow recommended procedures and use approved
equipment (hoists, chains, slings, cranes, spreader bars, shackles, etc).
• Inspect the pump system for correct valving (location of one-way check and
throttling valves), plumbing (pressure rating), and controls/instrumentation
compatibility before operation.
• Some units may start or stop automatically. Install warning signs to alert site
personnel.
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
• Follow recommended service intervals.

• Always follow lock out/tag out procedures when servicing the unit.
• Always use the correct and recommended tools.
• Always depressurize equipment before servicing.
• Be aware of sharp edges and corners.
• If attempting to move heavy components, use a lifting device rated appropriately
for the load.
• 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.
D. EXPLOSIVE AND HAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERE CONCERNS

It is the responsibility of the equipment facilities plant designer or end user to comply
with any and all hazardous area classifications and local regulations.
• Avoid excess temperature rise.

• Properly ventilate area to avoid the build up of explosive and hazardous mixtures.
• Prevent spark generation.
• Prevent fluid leakages.
• Maintain equipment to prevent unsafe changes in operating conditions.
• Install monitoring equipment and warning signs to alert site personnel of
potentially unsafe conditions.
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.
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.
The pump is supported by independent cross members bolted to a V-shaped cradle

(trough). A series of clamped caps restrain the pump in the cradle. Independent cross
members allow for vertical and horizontal pump adjustment during alignment.
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
Close Coupled (Grid Type) Spacer (Grid Type)
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.
D. HORIZONTAL THRUST CHAMBER
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.
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.
IV. 4.X / 5.X
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.
V. MECHANICAL PROCESS FLUID SEAL
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.
Standard Type 2 Shaft Seal in HTC Head
Optional Cartridge Seal (Shown in Black) in Seal Chamber

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
The pump is a multistage centrifugal pump, mounted horizontally. It has multiple

stationary diffusers and rotating impellers. The pump head attaches to the discharge
assembly. The pump base attaches to the intake assembly. Two types of pumps are
offered depending on pressure and flow requirements: housed and bolted bowl.
Housed
Bolted Bowl
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.
The following recommendations should be followed when storing your HPump:
I. MOTOR
Refer to the OEM manual for storage and handling recommendations.

Typically the motor shaft should be turned by hand 15-30 revolutions
every 30 days to avoid false brinelling of the bearings. Connect space
heaters, if supplied, to drive moisture from the windings.
II. HORIZONTAL THRUST CHAMBER
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
• 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
As with all precision equipment, proper installation is required to provide maximum

service life and to ensure the unit is covered under warranty. API Recommended Practice
686 is the preferred reference for HPump foundation and installation issues. Basic
installation requirements are:
• A firm foundation, including precise leveling of the skid.
• Flexibility in the intake and discharge plumbing.
• Control of the intake and discharge pressures.
Site installation of a new unit should include the following steps. Refer to the specific
topic within this section for more information.
1. Level the skid assembly.

2. Correct soft foot conditions for the motor, HTC mounting bracket, and HTC (if
installed on site).
3. Laser align any system components installed on site. Check alignment of all
components and compare to factory alignment values.
4. Check and set HTC and pump shaft extensions (a reference document is available
from HPump Engineering).
5. Replace HTC lubrication oil and fill to proper level.
6. Review customer piping for proper support.
7. Connect unit to piping and re-check laser alignment.
8. Start unit.
9. Perform hot alignment after 24 hours.
B. FOUNDATION
See the typical foundation drawing in Appendix D for specific foundation

recommendations.
I. ONSHORE INSTALLATION
Mounting to a one piece concrete pad is preferred. The foundation should

be designed to accept the weight of the equipment per guidelines specified
in API-RP686. Anchor bolts must be provided at regular support points to
secure the skid to the foundation.
II. OFFSHORE PLATFORM
Refer to the platform engineering contractor for recommendations specific

to a particular offshore installation.
C. MOUNTING AND LEVELING
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.
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.
CAUTION: The HPump system must be electrically grounded per standard or

local codes to ensure personnel protection and safety.
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.
CAUTION: Suction and discharge piping should be supported independently

from the pump or skid and field fitted to prevent induced nozzle
loading.
CAUTION: Suction and discharge headers should not be jacked, pulled, or

otherwise forced to mate with the intake or discharge flanges. This
may cause excessive pipe strain, vibration, system misalignment, or
damage.
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 standard pump intake supplied is an ANSI raised face flange. A

flexible hose, flanged at both ends, is recommended for connection
between the intake and the fluid supply to limit nozzle loading.
A burst disk or pressure safety valve is recommended upstream of the

intake. This helps prevent damage to fluid seals in the event of discharge
check valve failure or pressure surges from other sources. A check valve
in the intake supply line is discouraged, as unsafe pressures may be
present when the pump is shut down. When pumping from a tank, pressure
relief devices are not normally needed, but the intake piping should be as
short and straight as possible.
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
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.
II. DISCHARGE PLUMBING
Discharge plumbing must have some flexibility. Bracing or support will

prevent pump misalignment from thermal expansion or other forces at the
pump discharge. Supports should be designed so that settling, pressure
surges, or maintenance work will not place stress on the pump.
The installation of a discharge spool is recommended to be mounted

between the discharge flange and the header. This spool will allow for
easier field assembly and provides a removable discharge header section
to assist in pump maintenance. If a discharge hose is supplied, the
recommended spool is not necessary. When installing the discharge, make
sure to use the bolts that shipped loose with the discharge.
CAUTION: Do not use the shipping cap bolts to install the discharge.
Discharge bolts are specially designed to handle the
high fluid pressure.
A reverse flow check valve is recommended downstream of the pump to

prevent back flow and excessive back pressures at the intake. Any valves
should be installed at least 5-10 times the nominal pipe diameter away
from the discharge. If a recirculation line is used, the line should be piped
to the fluid source, not directly to the intake.
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.
E. SYSTEM ALIGNMENT AND SOFT FOOT CORRECTION
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.
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
Wiring size must meet the motor manufacturer's specification. It should be

connected to a balanced power supply by a control panel containing
suitable fuses and overload protection. When using a variable speed drive
(VSD), the typically preferred output waveform is PWM mode. Refer to
the motor OEM for their specific waveform recommendation.
CAUTION: The HPump system must be electrically grounded per

standard or local codes to ensure personnel protection
and safety.
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.
Motor instrumentation could include winding RTDs, bearing RTDs, space

heater, winding thermostat, or a WPII differential pressure switch. These
options should be wired into the proper monitoring or control device.
Wiring schematics are available from the motor OEM. If using a Centrilift
VSD, contact Controls Engineering for specific instructions on wiring
motor instrumentation to the drive.
CAUTION: Motor fan rotation may be uni-directional or bi-

directional. A fan rotating in the wrong direction may
allow the motor to overheat. In this case, it will be
necessary to reverse the fan mounting or replace the fan.
II. ENGINE
Engines are connected to the thrust chamber either by use of an integral

speed increaser mounted to the engine bell housing, or through a
separately mounted parallel shaft speed increaser. The internal gear
arrangement of the speed increaser must result in a counter clockwise
input rotation for the HTC. Engine accessories may include electric start,
radiator cooling, clutch operator, automatic speed control, and safety
shutdown panel.
CAUTION: All engine-driven HPump applications should be

coordinated with HPump Engineering and the engine
packager.
G. INSTRUMENTATION AND ELECTRICAL DEVICES
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.

III. DRIVER INSTRUMENTATION
A wide array of instrumentation is available for electric motor and engine

packages. Centrilift’s standard electric motor instrumentation varies
depending on the application. Common options include a winding space
heater, winding thermostat, winding RTDs, and bearing RTDs. Motors
with a WPII enclosure may be provided with a differential pressure switch
for intake filters. Refer to the motor manufacturer for specific motor
option installation instructions.
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).
• If operating with a variable speed drive, start at a reduced speed to check components
for leaks at a reduced pressure.
C. PUMP
Severe environments may require modifications to operating and maintenance

instructions. Pumps that are shut down during periods of freezing weather should be
drained and heat tape applied to prevent internal damage.
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.
III. DISCHARGE VALVES
Ensure that discharge valves are properly adjusted and equipment

downstream is ready to receive fluid. Adequate back pressure must be
present to ensure the pump does not experience excessive up thrust wear
during flow stabilization (example: disposal well on vacuum).
IV. OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
To prevent overheating, excessive wear or damage to the pump, do not

operate under the following conditions:
• Operation outside of application design range.

• Extended operation at the minimum head/flow rates.
• When pump runs dry or loses prime.
• When pumped liquid contains excessive gas or air.
• When the pumped fluid contains sand or other abrasives. Small
amounts of abrasives will have a gradual damaging effect. Centrilift
makes no guarantee against the erosive action of these abrasives.
D. HORIZONTAL THRUST CHAMBER
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.
I. SPEED INCREASING GEARBOX
Normally, an engine driver operates at a RPM that is unsuitable for

efficient pump operation. In these applications, a speed increaser is used to
elevate pump RPM in relation to engine RPM. A gearbox of this type may
require some form of lubrication oil cooling. Refer to the manufacturer for
more information.
H. DRIVER CONTROL PANEL
If supplied, operation should be per the manufacturer’s operating instructions. Contact

your Centrilift service representative for variable speed drive operation instructions.
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
The following sequence is suggested when stopping the unit:

• Throttle the pump discharge valve to minimum flow.
• Stop the driver at the control panel.
• Shut the pump discharge valve.
• When the pump shaft stops rotating, close the suction valve.
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.
NOTE: Changing fluid properties, such as specific gravity or viscosity, or

changing pump speed will require instrument trip setting adjustments.
SECTION SIX:
Maintenance
A. GENERAL
I. MONITORING
Monitoring of system performance is recommended to establish

maintenance requirements. A schedule should be established for periodic
recording of the operating parameters. Refer to the table below for in-
service checks.

leakage through HTC weep hole.
Auxiliary equipment. Refer to applicable manufacturer’s
instructions.
II. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Routine preventative maintenance enables early detection of most

common problems. Dismantling of the pump and HTC for inspection is
not recommended. Contact your Centrilift service representative if
excessive wear or other internal damage is suspected. These problems may
be represented as vibration, corrosion, or leaks from the pump or thrust
chamber.
III. ALIGNMENT
Replacement of the driver or thrust chamber requires careful realignment

of the components to ensure maximum run life. Driver replacement
requires alignment to the thrust chamber, while thrust chamber
replacement requires alignment to both the driver and the pump.
Movement or repositioning of the skid should be followed by leveling the
unit to factory specifications. Replacement of the pump should only
require alignment if the cradle has moved or the HTC is also being
replaced. It is always good practice to check system alignment when
servicing any component.
B. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE & LUBRICATION
Lubrication should be done as part of a planned maintenance schedule. For definition of

service conditions, see the table below.
STANDARD CONDITIONS SEVERE CONDITIONS

Eight hours per day, normal or light Twenty four hours per day operation or
loading, clean environment @ 104ºF shock loading, vibration, or in dirty or
(40ºC) maximum ambient temperature. dusty environment @ 104°-122ºF (40-
50ºC) ambient temperature.
I. PUMP
Repair or maintenance of the pump cannot be undertaken on site. The

pump should be returned to Centrilift or a Centrilift designated facility for
service or repair. Special tools and knowledge are required to disassemble
the pump. The pump bearings are lubricated by the fluid passing through it
and require no periodic maintenance.
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.
II. HORIZONTAL THRUST CHAMBER
Several components require replacement during the life of the thrust

chamber. If a 1.XE or 1.XT HTC is installed, the breather on top of the
thrust chamber will need to be replaced periodically. The element will turn
pink when it is time to order a replacement. If a cooling system is installed,
then the oil filter will require replacement. It is good practice to change the
filter whenever the oil is changed. For complete lubrication procedures,
refer to your Centrilift service representative. The following table outlines
recommended lubrication frequency.

a. Mechanical Process Fluid Seal
Proper maintenance of the pumped fluid mechanical seal will

prevent environmental contamination and premature HTC failure.
It is recommended that the weep holes on the HTC head be
regularly flushed with a lubricant or cleaner. The flush fluid should
be compatible with the pumped fluid. Do not allow the flush fluid
to flood the weep hole chamber past the bottom of the shaft. For
complete flushing procedures, refer to your Centrilift service
representative. Keeping the atmospheric side of the seal clean and
lubricated will extend seal life.
b. HTC Cooling System
When replacing any thrust chamber connected to an external oil

cooler system, it is important to clean the entire system. This
includes all hoses, fittings, heat exchangers, pumps, and filters. Old
oil, sludge, residue, and metal particles can circulate through
replacement thrust chambers without performing this service. This
contamination can lead to premature failure. A Centrilift service
representative should be contacted to perform this service. If
cleaning and flushing are not effective, the affected cooling system
components must be replaced.

a. Lubrication Service – Electric Motor with Ball Bearings
Lubrication procedure and grease type vary from manufacturer to

manufacturer. The type and volume of grease may change, as well
as recommendation to lubricate with the motor operating or
stationary. Frequency of lubrication service is based on the severity
of duty. Specific lubrication instructions are available from the
motor manufacturer.
All manufacturers recommend removal of any grease plug located

below the bearings for relief during lubrication, and to loosen any
hardened grease that may block the drain. Also, a minimum period
of operation should be observed immediately after adding grease.
CAUTION: Do not mix different kinds of grease (i.e.

Polyurea vs. Lithium based). Mixing grease with
different type of thickeners may destroy its
composition and physical properties. Even if the
thickeners are of the same type, possible
differences in the additive may cause detrimental
effects.
CAUTION: It is possible to over-lubricate the motor

bearings. Excess grease can build up inside the
motor on the windings and may cause isolated
hot spots.
b. Lubrication Service – Electric Motor with Sleeve Bearings
Maintain proper lubrication by checking the oil level periodically,

adding oil when necessary. The initial clearing action of the
bearing and the expansion of the oil as it comes up to the operating
temperature will cause the oil to be lighter after the motor has been
in operation. Overfilling should be avoided because the thermal
expansion may force the oil over the oil sleeve and onto the rotor.
Also, an operating oil level that is too high prevents the bearing
from clearing itself of excess oil. If the oil level goes above the
maximum shown on the sight gauge during operation, drain
enough oil to bring the level back to within the recommended
operating range.
The stationary oil level will be at the center of the oil gauge. Refer
to the motor manufacturer for the proper replacement oil. Do not
permit the operating level to fall below the minimum level shown
on the gauge.
Reference the manufacturer’s instructions and nameplate for

additional recommendations of lubrication type and service
schedule.
c. Lubrication Service - Engine
Reference the manufacturer’s operating instructions and

recommended service schedule.
d. Filters – Electric Motors
Certain motor enclosure types, such as Weather Protected WP II,

may include air filters inside the sheet metal enclosure. Reference
the manufacturer’s operating instructions and recommended
service schedule.
e. Filters – Engines
Engine filters, including air, oil, and fuel, should be replaced

according to the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule.

If leakage does occur, it should be attended to as soon as possible because
the leakage could become a hazard. It should be noted that, while the leakage
may be due to worn seal faces, damaged bellows or o-rings, it could also be
because of some change in duty conditions or some change in the equipment
such as worn bearings or increased vibration.
Check carefully for the root cause for leakage when the equipment is stripped.
No maintenance of a seal is possible while installed. Therefore, it is
recommended that a spare seal unit and mating ring be held in stock to allow
immediate replacement of a removed seal.

Industrial Thermocouples Return to Industrial Thermocouples Index
Installation and Maintenance
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.
Extension Wire Installation
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.

APPLICATION AND TECHNICAL INFORMATION

PRESSURE SWITCH Corrosive Fluids
Occasionally liquids or gases are encountered that are not
compatible with the “wetted parts ”as shown in the
Approximate Pressure Sensing catalog. When this occurs it is common practice to use a
Performance Characteristics chemical seal as an interface between the corrosive fluid
and the pressure switch.Custom Control Sensors does not
manufacture or accept orders for chemical seals. The
reason for this is to insure that the customer gets exactly
what he needs for his application.
We will drop ship switches to any manufacturer of

chemical seals that the customer may specify,or we can
recommend a suitable source of supply if asked (Note: The
customer can then place a purchase order with
appropriate instructions directly with his source of supply
so that the supplier can then coordinate the customer’s
wishes with the chemical seal that will be assembled,
filled,calibrated and tested to fit the needs outlined).

proceeding. Insert setscrews (if required) and tighten.
3 — Offset Alignment
Maximize Performance And Life

The performance and life of couplings depend largely upon
how you install and maintain them. Before installing
couplings, make certain that foundations of equipment to be
connected meet manufacturers’ requirements. Check for soft
foot. The use of stainless steel shims is recommended.
Measuring misalignment and positioning equipment within
alignment tolerances is simplified with an alignment computer.
These calculations can also be done graphically or
mathematically.
Alignment is shown using spacer bar and straight edge. This
practice has proven to be adequate for many industrial
applications. However, for superior final alignment, the use of
dial indicators (see Manual 458-834 for instructions), lasers, Align so that a straight edge rests squarely (or within the limits

1— Mount Seals And Hubs

Lock out starting switch of prime mover. Clean all metal parts
using a non-flammable solvent. Lightly coat seals with grease
and place on shafts BEFORE mounting hubs. Heat
interference fit hubs as previously instructed. Seal keyways to
prevent leakage. Mount hubs on their respective shafts so the
hub face is flush with the end of its shaft unless otherwise
indicated. Tighten setscrews when furnished.
2 — Gap and Angular Alignment
Pack gap and grooves with specified lubricant before inserting

grid. When grids are furnished in two or more segments, install
them so that all cut ends extend in the same direction (as detailed
in the exploded view picture above); this will assure correct grid
contact with non-rotating pin in cover halves. Spread the grid
slightly to pass over the coupling teeth and seat with a soft mallet.

5 — Pack With Grease And Assemble Covers ANNUAL MAINTENANCE

For extreme or unusual operating conditions, check coupling
more frequently.
1. Check alignment per steps on Page 3. If the maximum op-
erating misalignment limits are exceeded, realign the cou-
pling to the recommended installation limits. See Table 2
for installation and operating alignment limits.
2. Check tightening torques of all fasteners.
3. Inspect seal ring and gasket to determine if replacement is
required. If leaking grease, replace.
4. When connected equipment is serviced, disassemble the
coupling and inspect for wear. Replace worn parts. Clean
grease from coupling and repack with new grease. Install
coupling using new gasket as instructed in this manual.

For extreme or unusual operating conditions, check coupling
more frequently.
1. Check alignment per steps on Page 3. If the maximum
operating misalignment limits are exceeded, realign the
coupling to the recommended installation limits. See Table
2 on Page 5 for installation and operating alignment limits.
2. Check tightening torques of all fasteners.
3. Inspect seal ring and gasket to determine if replacement is
required. If leaking grease, replace.
4. When connected equipment is serviced, disassemble the
coupling and inspect for wear. Replace worn parts. Clean
grease from coupling and repack with new grease. Install
coupling using new gasket as instructed in this manual.

determined so that the actual oil leaving temperature can be found.
Calculate the oil temperature change (oil ▲ T) with this formula:
Oil ▲ T = (BTU’s/Hr.) / (GPM Oil Flow x 210).

to eliminate possible motor burn out in the event the fan has become
damaged in shipment. Observe operation carefully after motor is started
for the first time.
7. Hydraulic Motors: Connect motor, port B, to inlet oil line and return line to
port A for correct rotation. A filter is highly recommended upstream of the
motor rated at 25 micron nominal. Controlling oil flow rate as specified on
motor data sheet with cooler is very important. Maximum oil pressure to
motor is 2000 psi, minimum pressure is shown on motor data sheet. Do
not allow dirty oil to enter the motor. Excessive flows will cause fan blade
failure. Insufficient flows to motor will reduce cooling capacity.
Maintenance Inspect the unit regularly for loose bolts and connections,
rust and corrosion, and dirty or clogged heat transfer surfaces (cooling coil).
