TOM Manual HPomp) Revision Date: DEC. 2007 Page Number: Dol 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 ofthe 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 {opie within this section for more information, the specific 4, Level the skid assembly. 2. Correct soft foot conditions for the motor, HTC mounting bracket, and HTC (if installed on ste), 3. Laser align any system components installed on site, Check alignment of all ‘components and compare to factory alignment values. Check and set HITC and pump shaft extensions (a reference document is available {rom HPump"™ Engineering). . Replace HTC lubrication oil an fill to proper level Review customer piping for proper suppor. Connect unit to piping and re-check laser alignment Start unit. Perform hot alignment after 24 hours FOUNDATION See the typical foundation drawing in Appendix D for specific foundation recommendations, I. ONSHORE INSTALLATION Mounting toa one piece concrete pad is preferred, The foundation should be designed to accept the weight of the equipment per guidelines specified i APL-RP686, Anchor bolts must be provided at regular support points 19 secure the skid tothe foundation. I OFFSHORE PLATFORM 10M Manual HPomp) RevieaDates DEG 201 Refer tothe platform engineering contractor for recommendations specific 10 particular offshore installation, MOUNTING AND LEVELING The skid requires support at each anchor location, Metal shims are normally used Shims should be @ minimum of 8x 8 inch (203 x 203 mm) steel or steel alloy plates, in & 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 he followed in the orde presented 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 atthe motor end, place the level across the skid and secure the bottom beam flange tothe foundation with the frst 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 atthe anchor bolt focation uni no level change is registered, 3. Working towards the discharge end of the skid, securely tighten each pait of anchor bolts. Continue to adjust the quantity of shims if necessary. Check the level laterally above each bolt location tobe sure the skid is free of twist 4. IF instaing 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. Femly tighten the ‘connecting plate bolt 7. Following the procedure in Step 3, tighten the remaining anchor bots. 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/I3 mm of flexibility in all directions. Where conditions donot allow rubberized piping or couplings, other methods (such as a heat loop) are strongly recommended. Tis allows 10M Manual HPom Revision Date: DEC. 2007 aan Page Number: of 4 for thermal expansion of the pump and pipe work. Another benefit is isolation from ‘mechanical shock. NOTE: Suction and discharge piping should be supported independently from the pump or skid and field fitted to prevent induced nozzle loading. 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. Piping entering or leaving the unit should be straight for §-10 times ‘the nominal pipe diameter. ‘This will prevent cavitation and other flow restriction problems. 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 lui supply to limit nozae 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 dowa, 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 hhead or pump base, The intake ean then be carefull rotated to the desired position. Ensure thatthe bolts are reinstalled with thread lubrication and tightened securely. New HTC and pump o-rings should be installed any ‘ime the intake is removed. Before reinstalling, check thatthe pump and HITC shaft extensions are properly set. DISCHARGE PLUMBING Discharge plumbing must have some flexibility. Bracing or support will prevent pump misalignment from thermal expansion or other forees atthe pump discharge. Supports should be designed so that setling, pressure Surges, or maintenance work will nt place stress on the pump. fowsim PB pS oa ‘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 {o 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 fuid pressure. ‘A reverse flow check valve is recommended downstream of the pump to prevent back flow and excessive back pressures atthe intake. Any valves should be installed at least 5-10 times the nominal pipe diameter away from the discharge. Ifa recirculation line is used, the line shouldbe piped to the fluid source, not directly tothe intake For low ications where the pump could be stated and operated at a very ischarge 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 fon motors, HTC brackets, and I_XE/LXT and 875 HTC models, A dial ealipe or laser alignment system can diagnose which surface is causing the sof 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. Centilit recommends that a hot alignment be performed after approximately 24 ‘hours tun time. This ensures optimal service life F. DRIVER ‘Two types of drivers are generally used on HPump!™ units. Electric motors ate the most ‘common choice. In some locations, an electric motor may be impractieal. For these applications, diesel or natural gas engines can be used, 1 Moror 10M Manual HPony Revision Date: DEC. 2007 Sane) Page Number: 16 of 4 nL. Wiring size must meet the motor manufactures specification. It should bbe connected to a balanced power supply by a control panel coataining suitable fuses and overload protection. When using a variable speed drive, 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 ofthe motor. ‘TEFC type motors are normally equipped with condensation drain plugs in the bottom of each end shield. If present, these should be removed prio 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 RTD's, beating RTD's, space heater, winding thermostat, or a WPIL 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 Centcilift VED. contact Controls Engineering for specific instructions on Wiring motor instrumentation to the driv. CAUTION: Motor fan rotation may be uni-directional or bi- directional. A fan rotating in the weong direction may allow the motor to overheat. In this ease, it will be necessary fo reverse the fan mounting or replace the fan, 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 increaset must result in @ counter clockwise input rotation forthe 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. 10M Manual HPump) ReviiaaDate DEC 207 G.__ INSTRUMENTATION AND ELECTRICAL DEVICES Switches and/or sight glasses provide monitoring functions for the unit. Standard insirumentation available includes: HTC vibration, HTC Muid 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 CCentrilift’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 Centiift VED should be obtained from the Controls Engineering group.
