9. Excessive condenser pressure

In the event of abnormally high pressures in the refrigeration system, there is a risk of
damage to the compressor. At very high pressures (see pressure testing), the risk of
the components in the refrigeration plant exploding can constitute a threat to life.
Abnormally high pressures can occur in the case of:
- extreme heating of plant parts (fire, solar radiation or other abnormal heating);
- volumetric expansion of fluids in sealed-off premises.

During operation, the heat of the compressor crankcase must be 40-70°C. When
working with R717 and R22, it may be necessary to supply the compressor with oil
cooling.
See point 14.

17. Oil level in crankcase falling

Where HFC/HCFC refrigerants are used, there will be some blending of refrigerant
and oil during the initial operating period. It may therefore prove necessary to top up
the oil after initial start-up of the plant.

Selection Procedure
1. Select appropriate service factor SF.
2. Calculate coupling rating R from Example: 150 kW electric motor to centrifugal
R = kW x 1000 x SF pump at 2960 rpm
N R = 150 x 1000 x 1
where: 2960
kW = driver rated power R = 50.7 kW per 1000 rpm
N = speed (rev./min.)
3. Select a coupling with the same or higher rating. Selection: TSK - 0075
4. Check that the hub bore capacity is suitable.
Standard hub bore up to 65 mm.
5. Check peak torque capability is suitable for application. Large hub bore up to 90 mm.
6. Check speed capability. Peak torque capability - 1790 Nm
7. Check whether additional dynamic balancing is required.
Additional dynamic balancing should not be required.
8. Specify Distance Between Shaft Ends (DBSE).

FITTING, OPERATING & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS for


METASTREAM™ TSK, TSP, & TLK• including TSA & TSC DESIGNS

T -SERIES FLEXIBLE ELEMENT SPACER COUPLINGS

DESCRIPTION

The ranges of Flexibox METASTREAM™ couplings covered by this data sheet are designed to transmit torque
between the rotating shafts of a driving and driven machine, whilst accommodating the inevitable lateral, angular and axial
misalignment, which will exist between two coupled machines.

The usual extent of supply comprises :-

• a hub for the DRIVING machine (motor) shaft


• a hub for the DRIVEN machine shaft
• a factory assembled transmission unit, comprising two packs of flexible metallic discs, each bolted to a "guard
ring" and to a common spacer (distance piece), which separates the two disc packs. The overall length of the
transmission unit is sized to suit the shaft end separation of the coupled machines.
• a set of fasteners to assemble the transmission unit to the two hub flanges.

SELECTION VERIFICATION

Although a coupling may be correctly specified at the time of order placement, the duty conditions can sometimes change
prior to the coupling being put into service. Information is available from FLEXIBOX to advise on the selection and
limitations of their power transmission products, but the USER is ultimately responsible for verifying the suitability of the
selection for the actual service conditions.

The coupling and its manner of use must conform to any legal or licensing requirements, and, where appropriate, meet
local health and safety requirements.

IMPORTANT If the conditions of operation are changed without approval from FLEXIBOX, then we would
decline responsibility for any consequent damage and the USER would assume all risks.

UNPACKING AND STORAGE

The coupling should be unpacked and examined for any signs of transit damage. Particular attention should be paid to hub
bores and spigot/recess location diameters.

If the coupling is not to be used immediately, it should be re-packed and stored in a dry building away from direct heat.

Documentation supplied with the coupling should be retained for future reference.

INSTALLATION

DANGER PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE COUPLING, ENSURE THAT THE


MACHINERY IS MADE SAFE

• Remove the coupling from its packaging and carefully inspect for signs of damage. Particular attention should
be paid to the hub bores and the spigot/recess location features, which should be free from burrs and other
damage.

• Fit the DRIVER (1) and DRIVEN (2) hubs to the corresponding machine shafts. Normally, FLEXIBOX
supply parallel bored and keywayed hubs, individually machined to give a light interference fit with the
associated shaft. If it is necessary to apply some heating to the hub to assist fitting, then a warm oil bath will
usually be adequate.

DANGER HUBS MUST BE ADEQUATELY SUPPORTED DURING INSTALLATION TO AVOID


ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE SHOULD THEY SLIP

It is usual to install the hub such that the hub face and shaft end are flush, but consult the arrangement
drawing, or other particular instructions, to check the configuration for individual designs.

• Align the centre lines of the DRIVING and DRIVEN machine shafts as follows:-

i) With one machine firmly bolted down, set the distance between shaft ends (DBSE) according to drawing
or catalogue dimension 'A'.

IMPORTANT - DBSE is usually measured between the inner face of the hubs and should not be taken
as the length of the transmission unit at its outer periphery.
METASTREAM FITTING, OPERATION and MAINTENANCE
78257 / 99 INSTRUCTIONS

Page 4 of 7 TSK & TSC, TSP & TSA, TLK couplings

ii) Align the shaft centre lines both horizontally and vertically by aligning the hub flanges. The Flexibox
METASTREAM™ coupling alignment kit and reverse periphery procedure allows rapid and accurate
alignment of shafts.

IMPORTANT - The misalignment tolerances quoted in literature and on drawings allow for dynamic
conditions and variations. For the best service from the coupling, FLEXIBOX
recommend that installed misalignment is no more than 10% of the maximum
allowable misalignment, allowance being made for any anticipated movements which
will occur during operation (eg. thermal movements on hot pumps).

• Check spigot and recess locations on the hubs and transmission unit for burrs or other signs of damage and
then fit the transmission unit (3) between the hubs.

DANGER - THE TRANSMISSION UNIT MUST BE ADEQUATELY SUPPORTED


DURING INSTALLATION TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE SHOULD IT
SLIP

It may be necessary to compress the transmission unit whilst sliding it between the hubs, and facilities are
provided to make this easier:-

i) on smaller units, lever slots are provided in the hub flanges

ii) on larger units, including the TLK, the spacer flanges are drilled so that the
hub bolts (4) may be used to compress the transmission unit sufficiently to
clear the spigot location (see sketch).

Maximum compression of the gap 'X' should not exceed 0.8 times the
COUPLING maximum axial misalignment value, unless indicated
otherwise on the general arrangement drawing.

IMPORTANT - always remove the compression bolts as soon as the


transmission unit is in position and before fully tightening the hub bolts.

• Fit the hub bolts (4) (and locking washers (5) if supplied) and tighten these evenly to locate the transmission
unit, ensuring that the spigots enter their recesses squarely. Bolts should be tightened in a "diametrically
opposite" sequence to the values quoted in Table 1. If a general arrangement drawing is supplied with the
coupling, then torque values quoted on that drawing take precedence.

• Rotate the machinery two or three times slowly to ensure it moves freely.

The coupling is now ready for continuous and trouble free service.

OPERATION

ATTENTION: BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINERY, ENSURE THAT ALL NECESSARY


SAFETY PROCEDURES ARE BEING OBSERVED

When operated within the duty conditions for which they were designed, Flexibox METASTREAM™ flexible disc
couplings will give long and trouble free service. Routine examination should include a periodic check on the
tightness of fasteners and visual inspection of transmission components for signs of fatigue or wear.

If the coupled machinery is disturbed at any time, then shaft alignment should be re-checked as a matter of routine.
Alignment checking is also recommended if a deterioration of installation alignment during service is suspected.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

DANGER - MAINTENANCE WORK MUST ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY SUITABLY QUALIFIED


PERSONNEL WHEN THE EQUIPMENT IS STATIONARY AND HAS BEEN MADE SAFE

Flexibox METASTREAM™ flexible power transmission couplings are designed to give long and trouble free service
if operated within the conditions for which they were specified. Failures are rare and can generally be attributed to:-

• excessive misalignment
• severe torsional overload

In all cases of coupling failure, the cause should be identified and corrected before replacing the coupling.

The usual mode of failure of flexible disc couplings is rupture of the flexing membranes. In such circumstances, it is
possible to repair the coupling by fitting a replacement disc pack assembly.

ATTENTION: WHEN REPAIRING Flexibox METASTREAM™ FLEXIBLE DISC COUPLINGS,


ONLY FLEXIBOX APPROVED PARTS SHOULD BE USED

• To replace the transmission unit (3), first remove the hub bolts (4) and then withdraw the transmission
unit using the lever slots in the hubs or compression bolt feature in the spacer as appropriate.
DANGER - TRANSMISSION UNIT MUST BE ADEQUATELY SUPPORTED DURING
REMOVAL TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE SHOULD IT SLIP

• Identify the bolts which connect the disc packs to the spacer piece. Slacken and remove these drive bolts
(3C) and nuts (3D) and carefully dismantle the disc pack assemblies from the spacer piece. Do not
attempt to dismantle the disc pack assemblies any further; replacement disc packs are always supplied
complete with a new guard ring.

• Subsequent refurbishment is dependent on the type of coupling involved and the precise configuration of
the replacement membrane pack. It is recommended that BOTH membrane packs be replaced, as failure
of one inevitably results in some damage to the other.

• TSP (TSA) REPLACEMENT PACK

• Complete the removal of the old disc pack assemblies by pressing the washers (3E) out of the holes in
each spacer flange.

• Identify the fasteners which attach the disc packs to the spacer. Disassemble the loosely assembled nuts
(3D) and separate the bolts (3C) and washers (3E).

• Fit new washers (3E) into the spacer.

• Carefully press the protruding sleeves in each disc pack into the holes in the spacer flange, taking care not
to over-strain the flexible discs. Insert the drive bolts (3C) from the guard ring side and secure using the
locknuts (3D). Tighten the locknuts evenly to the correct SPACER BOLT tightening torque value given
in Table 1.

• Complete the refurbishment of the transmission unit by replacing the second disc pack assembly.

• TSK [TSC] AND TLK REPLACEMENT PACK

• Complete the disassembly of the old disc packs by pressing the sleeves (3F) out of the holes in each
spacer flange.

• Identify the fasteners which attach the disc packs to the spacer flanges. Disassemble the loosely
assembled nuts (3D).

• With the bolts (3C) in position, carefully press on the bolt heads to push the new sleeves into the holes in
the spacer flange. Take care not to over-strain the flexible discs.
• Place a small amount of threadlocking compound (e.g. Loctite 242) on the protruding bolt threads and
then assemble the nuts (3D). Tighten these nuts evenly to the correct spacer bolt tightening torque value
given in Table 1.

• Complete the refurbishment of the transmission unit by replacing the second disc pack assembly.

• Having rebuilt the transmission unit, it is recommended that the shaft alignment be checked prior to re-
installation.

• The refurbished transmission unit should be installed in accordance with the instructions for fitting a new
coupling.

IMPORTANT - Hub bolts should be replaced every time the coupling is dismounted.

ATTENTION - REPLACEMENT OF THE DISC PACK ASSEMBLIES INEVITABLY


CHANGES THE INHERENT BALANCE OF THE TRANSMISSION UNIT.
HENCE, IF A BALANCED COUPLING NEEDS REFURBISHING, IT IS
RECOMMENDED THAT A FACTORY ASSEMBLED AND BALANCED
TRANSMISSION UNIT BE FITTED TO ENSURE FUTURE, VIBRATION
FREE OPERATION. IF REPLACEMENT DISC PACK ASSEMBLIES ARE
FITTED TO A BALANCED TRANSMISSION UNIT, THEN
CONSIDERATION MUST BE GIVEN TO REBALANCING OF THE
REFURBISHED TRANSMISSION UNIT OR IN-SITU BALANCING OF THE
COUPLING.
