TOM Manual HPomp Revision Date: DEC. 2007 Page Number: 3 of SECTION TWO - EQUIPMENT COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS. A. OVERVIEW “Major components of the system are a Centilift multi-stage centrifugal pump, horizontal ‘thrust chamber (HTC), fluid intake and discharge, instrumentation, anda driver mounted ‘on a common fabricated stel skid, B. SKID ‘The skid isa fabricate steel assembly that provides a platform to mount the driver, HTC, pump, and any associated instrumentation, The complete system is typic aligned at the factory prior to shipment. The skid’s rigidity minimizes mi «during transportation, installation, and operational shock and vibration ‘The pump is supported by independent cross members bolted to a V-shaped eradle (trough). A series of clamped caps restrain the pump in the cradle. Independent ctoss ‘members allow for vertical and horizontal pump adjustment daring alignment © DRIVER Pump" systems can use a wide variety of motors and engines. For specific information, refer to the manufacturer's nameplate or IOM man. TOM Manual HPump DEC, 2007 a 40f 34 1 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 serviee 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 fist purpose is to transmit the torque from the motor to the pump. The second purpose isto isolate the motor from the thrust produced by the pump. The third purpose isto seal the pumped fuid from the environment. ‘The thrust chamber uses @ modular mount to accommodate various motor shaft heights Four different HTC models are offered based on thrust capacity required: ILXE, 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. DEC. 2007 Page Number: Sof 34 TOM Manual Heomp Lo LXE/LXT iF bes | LL ‘The 1.XE and 1XT are foot mounted thrust chambers. The LXT uses @ different thrust bearing assembly and an oil evoler system 1 achieve higher thrust capacity TOM Manual HPG Revision Date: DEC. 2007 ae Page Number: 60f 34 3X = Hl ‘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 3X requites a pressurized oil lubrication and cooling system, mL. 875 cI] II ea_] || Sj dT ‘The 875 HTC is a foot mounted assembly, This HTC has the same {footprint and uses the same style mount asthe 1LXE and LX. This thrust chamber has the same thrust capacity as the 3.X and also requires @ lubrication system. IV. 4X/5x ‘The 4X and 5.X HTC are used in eartridge seal applications. The 4X is @ ‘modified version of the 3.X HTC. A 5.X HTC is a modified version of the LLXE/LXT. In both versions, a longer shaft is added to accommodate a seal chamber and cartridge seal TOM Manual HPomp MECHANICAL PROCESS FLUID SEAL ‘The process fluid seal is designed to keep the pumped fluid from escaping to the environment. ‘Typically the seal i installed in the heed ofthe HTC for in the seal chamber. A variety of mechanical seals and seal flush systems are available to mest each application. Fluid properties and service conditions dictate the type of seal and flush system to be provided. ‘Manufacturer IOM manuals for Centilift's standard offering of seals can be found in Appendix A. Standard Type 2 Shaft Seal in HTC Head TOM Manual Hi E, INTAKE ASSEMBLY ‘The welded intake assembly bolts to the pump and the HTC. The intake allows fluid to center 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 (ainimum ‘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 altaches 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 bow. Housed 10M Manual Rump 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 ae offered {to match pumping conditions. The discharge assembly consists of a lap-jint type flange ‘which is free to rotate around the stub pipe to facilitate bolt alignment, INSTRUMENTATION ‘The HPump™ standard instrumentation package monitors the following: HTC vibration, HTC oil level, and pump intake and discharge pressures. Instrumentation to measure HITC oil temperature is available upon request. The instruments can be wired to a Centritift variable speed drive ora customer's contrl system to safeguard the equipment. Manufacturer IOM manuals for Centilift’s standard instrumentation can be found in Appendix B.
