This information includes a description of how to operate and maintain the units Note 1. For installation information, refer to Bulletin No. 642, Installation Instructions, Nash Vacuum Pumps and Compressors. 2. The terms “pump” and “vacuum pump” in this Bulletin apply to both vacuum pumps and compressors unless otherwise noted. 3. The pumps are built using English units of measure. Metric SI conversions (shown in pa- rentheses) are included for reference only; use the English unit values when performing main- tenance procedures. The metric conversions for pressure, expressed in kilopascals (kPa), are in absolute pressure units for all pressures above and below atmospheric pressure. 1-2, HOW THE UNIT WORKS ‘The operation of the pump is shown in Figure 1-1. A rotor (2) revolves without metallic contact in a circular casing (4) that contains a liquid compressant (usually water) (5). The rotor (2) is a casting consisting of a series of blades that project from a hollow cylindrical hub through which the shaft has been pressed. These blades are shrouded at the sides and form a series of chambers, The curvature of these blades is in the direction of rota: tion indicated by the arrow Starting at point A, Figure 1-1, the chambers of the rotor are filled with water, This water rotates with 1 rotor, but follows the contour of the casing (4). The ‘water (5), which entirely fills the rotor chamber at point A, recedes into the casing as the rotor advances, until at point C, the rotor chamber is empty The converging casing forces the water back into the rotor chamber, until at point D, the chamber is again full. This cycle occurs once during each revolution of the rotor. As water recedes from the rotor chamber at point B, the water is replaced by air drawn through an inlet port (8) in the stationary conical casing (3) that connects 1. Pump Inlet 5. Liquid Compressant 2. Rotor 6. Pump Discharge 3, Stationary Conical 7. Internal Discharge Casing Port 4, Cireular Casing 8 Internal inlet Port Figure 1-1. Vacuum Pump Operatio to the pump inlet, As the rotor turns through 360 degrees and water is forced by the casing back into the rotor chamber, the air that has filled the chamber is forced through discharge ports in the conical casing (3) to the pump discharge. The water used as the liquid compressant also serves to seal clearances between the rotor and the cone and is referred to as seal water Section 2 OPERATION 2-1 PREPARATION FOR INITIAL START-UP. Note Contact your Nash Representative for start-up assistance, 2-2. Liquid Compressant (Seal Water) Proper operation of the pump requires that liquid compressant (seal water) be provided at the proper ressure and rate of flow. The flow rates for vacuum bumps only are listed in Table 2-1, The flow rate for compressors is approximately 1/4 US GPM (1 I/min) per brake horsepower at a minimum supply pressure of 20 psig (239 kPa). Variations in the quantities of seal water flowing to the pump affect the performance of the pump, The uantity supplied should be regulated to produce the best results “under individual operating “conditions Regulation can be provided by an orifice union, ad- justing valve, and pressure gauge combination or by a flow control valve as shown in Figure 2-1. A strainer should be connected in the upstream piping, whichever flow regulation technique is used. FLOW CONTROL VALVES compensate for Pressure fluctuations to maintain constant flow rate ‘The valves are suitable for upstream pressures of 15 to 125 psig (205 to 963 kPa), ORIFICE UNIONS provide a flow rate that is depen- dent upon pressure differential. Flow is regulated by the control of upstream pressure at 10 psig (170 kP: whether one or two orifice unions are used. The orifi A WATER METER (or flow indicator) can be in- stalled to indicate the actual seal water flow rate to the unit CAUTION DO NOT ENERGIZE THE DRIVER FOR THE PUMP UNTIL THE SEAL WATER SUPPLY HAS BEEN TURNED ON. THE SEAL WATER MUST BE PROVIDED TO THE UNIT BEFORE ‘THE UNIT IS STARTED, EVEN IF THE PUMP IS ONLY BEING OPERATED TO CHECK THE DIRECTION OF DRIVER SHAFT ROTATION OR FOR ANY OTHER TEST PURPOSES. 2-3. Lantern Gland or Mechanical Seal Liquid a. Lantern Glands. Lantern glands are installed in a Pump as an optional item upon request by the customer. If the leakage of compressant liquid from the pump shaft packing is to be minimized, the lantern gland connection should be piped to the pump inlet, Lantern glands installed to control air leakage into the pump through the shaft packing, shall be connected to a clean liquid source (usually water). When piping the liquid source to the lantern gland, a strainer, adjusting valve, and a pressure Eauge calibrated from 0 to 15 psig (0 to 205 kPa) are Fequired for the proper control of the pressure to the lantern gland. With the pump operating, adjust the lantern gland pressure to a value of 2.5't0 3.5 psig unions listed below are recommended for the flow rates , 8 2s specified, h Pump cuxe 3/8 19) e300 azn . r eva0 13/2 10) cL 12 (9) eC toc0 13/2215) U L200 ian ee \, ‘Dimensions in milters shown in parentheses. ts Table 2-1.

Mechanical Seals, Mechanical seals, when furnished Mth the pump, should have a clean supply of liquid (usually water) with valves located in the mechanical (ear flush outlet line to regulate the pressure and flow as measured by measuring devices located in the flush fhlet line. The liquid flow rate required for single mechanical seals is 1/2 US GPM (1.9 I/min) at a maximum pressure of 10 psig (170 kPa) above the ‘cone seal pressure, The liquid flow rate required for ‘Gouble mechanical seals is 1/2 US GPM (1.9 l/min) uth the stuffing box pressure maintained at 20 psig (039 kPa) above the discharge pressure of the pump, Note ‘The maximum liquid supply pressure for un- balanced outside-mounted single mechanical seals is 10 psig (170 kPa). 2-4 Draining and Flushing Before starting the pump upon completion of align- ment, remove the drain and vent plugs from the pump. (ee Figure 2-2 for typical location of the drain and vent plugs.) Open the shut-off valve for the liquid compres- Rant supply. The pump is flushed with a water-soluble preservative oil prior to shipment which will be visible Bsa cream colored liquid. Allow the liquid compressant to flow until there is a clear flow from all drains. Close the shut-off valve for the liquid compressant supply. If after draining and flushing, the pump will not be in continuous service for three weeks or more, refer to Paragraph 4-6 for preservation procedures. 2-$ Preliminary Inspection Perform the following preliminary inspections before starting the pump: NOTE: For location of shroud vent piping, see exploded view for your unit (Figures 614 through 8-1) 1.

Typical Piped Vacuum Pump (CL-1000 Shown) WARNING PERFORM ALL OF THE FOLLOWING STEPS IN ORDER TO ENSURE PERSONNEL SAFE- TY AND EQUIPMENT PROTECTION. . Isolate all power sources 10 the driver unit in order to ‘make certain that no accidental starting occurs. Inspect the pump and the recirculation pump (if uused) to make certain that all drain plugs have been properly installed. Manually prime the pump with liquid compressant. Inspect the separator, the receiver, and the heat ex- changer (if used) to make certain’ that all shipping plug protectors have been removed and that all open Connections have been plugged or piped. Inspect all piping to make certain that proper connec- tions have been made to the pump and its basic system in accordance with the Nash installation rawing(s) that have been supplied with the pump. Make certain that all piping is the correct size, secure- ly connected, and properly supported. Inspect all other major operational component (recir- culation pump, dryer, turbine, etc.) connections, associated wih the pump, to make certain that they are in accordance with the recommendations of their respective equipment manufacturers. Inspect all pump control components (control valves, flow metering devices, check valves, strainers, gauges, exc.) 10 make certain that they have been Tocated in accordance with the Nash installation drawing(s). Make certain that these components are correctly oriented in the piping scheme in order to achieve the proper direction of flow and functional operation. Inspect the pump inlet to make certain that the inlet sereen and clean-out connections have been properly made and are free of tools, equipment and debris, Inspect all ball floats and/or drain traps (including the drain traps that are provided when dryers are used) t0 make certain that they are properly installed and vented. Make certain that the liquid discharge connections are not plugged and are free of obstruc- tions. Remove the coupling or V-belt guard(s) and rotate the pump shaft by hand in the specified direction of rotation, The specified direction of rotation is in- dicated by an arrow cast on the pump and is il lustrated on the installation drawing. THE PUMP. SHAFT MUST ROTATE FREELY. If the pump shaft is bound and cannot be freed by rotating it manually, contact your Nash Representative for assistanee CAUTION DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FREE A PUMP SHAFT FROM A BINDING OR BOUND CON- DITION BY APPLYING POWER TO THE DRIVER. SEVERE DAMAGE MAY RESULT, CAUTION NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP WITHOUT ADEQUATE PRIME AND LIQUID SEAL FLOW. HIGH LIQUID SEAL SUPPLY PRESSURES DO NOT NECESSARILY IN- DICATE THAT THE FLOW IS ADEQUATE. CHECK FOR FLOW FROM VACUUM PUMP DISCHARGE (OR WATER TRAP SILENCER) AND ON COMPRESSORS, FLOW FROM SEPARATOR OR CORRECT LEVEL MAIN- TAINED IN SEPARATOR SIGHT GLASS. k. With main supply valves open and the pump primed, as in step c, momentarily start the driver for the pump in order to check for the proper direction of shaft rotation and for proper operation of recir- culating pump (if used). 2.6 START-UP AND OPERATING CHECKS, VACUUM PUMPS ONLY When the preliminary inspection and the pre- operational check procedures have been completed, start the pump and check pump operation as follows: WARNING IF THE PUMP IS TO BE CHECKED IN A SYSTEM, NOTIFY THE APPROPRIATE PLANT PERSONNEL BEFORE PLACING A PUMP ON LINE, PARTICULARLY WHEN PLACING THE PUMP ON LINE FOR THE FIRST TIME. STARTING UP A SYSTEM UNEXPECTEDLY MAY CAUSE PERSONNEL Note Refer to Troubleshooting, Section 3, if any operating difficulties arise when performing the following steps. 1. Check the pump and the system for adequate prime and then turn on all main water supply sourees to the pump or heat exchanger. b, With the water supply sources turned on and all per- sonnel and equipment clear of the pump system, ap- ply power to the driver. Note If pump operation becomes unstable, pump vibra- tion levels will increase and the pumping volume will decrease. IF THE PUMP DOES NOT STABILIZE, SHUT DOWN THE SYSTEM IM- MEDIATELY, AND DETERMINE THE ‘AUSE. c. While the pump is being stabilized at the required in- let vacuum, check the flow of liquid seal (water) to the pump. "In once-through systems, make certain that the liquid seal is flowing out of the water trap silencer drain. In recirculated systems, make certain that the recirculation pump (if used) is operating d. Maintain a constant check on the temperature of the pump casing during the start-up procedure. If the temperature rises rapidly or is 25°F (14°C) or more above the liquid compressant temperature, shut down the unit immediately and determine the cause. . After starting the pump, monitor the temperature of the bearing housing until the bearing housing temperature stabilizes for a minimum of 30 minutes. CAUTION IF THE BEARING HOUSING TEMPER- ATURE IS MORE THAN 30°F (17°C) ABOVE ‘THE PUMP CASING TEMPERATURE, SHUT DOWN THE PUMP IMMEDIATELY AND. DETERMINE THE CAUSE. CAUTION IF ABNORMAL BEARING NOISE, VIBRA- TION, ODOR OR SMOKING OCCUR, SHUT DOWN THE PUMP IMMEDIATELY AND DETERMINE THE CAUSE. £. Check the pump for vibration and noise, Excessive vibration and noise is an abnormal condition on a Nash pump. Shut down the pump immediately and determine the cause. 8. Check the speed (RPM) of pump shaft rotation by prying the access plug from the fixed bearing outer cap and inserting a tachometer with a shaft exten- sion, if necessary. Compare the measured speed with the rated speed for the pump. The rated operating speed and capacity can be determined from the pur- chase specifications or by consulting with your Nash Representative. h. After the pump has been running for ten minutes with steady leakage from the stuffing box, tighten the gland nuts evenly one flat at a time. Repeat at ten minute intervals until there is a leakage of approximately 45 to 60 drops per minute from the gland with no over- heating. Subsequent tightening of the gland nuts one flat at a time should be done with the pump operating at normal working temperature and vacuum. 2-7 START-UP AND OPERATING CHECKS, COMPRESSORS ONLY When the preliminary inspection and the pre- ‘operational check procedures have been completed, start the compressor and check compressor operation as follows WARNING. IF THE COMPRESSOR IS TO BE CHECKED IN A SYSTEM. NOTIFY THE APPROPRIATE PLANT PERSONNEL BEFORE PLACING A COMPRESSOR ON LINE, PARTICULARLY WHEN PLACING THE COMPRESSOR ON LINE FOR THE FIRST TIME. STARTING UP A SYSTEM UNEXPECTEDLY MAY CAUSE PERSONNEL INJURY. Note Refer to Troubleshooting, Section 3, if any operating difficulties arise when performing the following steps. 1, Check the compressor and the system for adequate prime and then turn on all main water supply sources {o the compressor and the heat exchanger b. Open the separator bypass valve to the maximum position c. With the water supply sources tured on and all per sonnel and equipment clear of the compressor system, apply power to the driver. Close the separa- tor bypass valve until the separator pressure gauge in- dicates 3 psig (122 kPa) maximum. CAUTION ‘THE PRESSURE READ AT THE SEPARATOR PRESSURE GAUGE MUST NOT EXCEED 3 PSIG (122 kPa) FOR THE TIME SPECIFIED IN TABLE 2-2 IN ORDER TO PREVENT UNSTABLE OPERATION AND POSSIBLE COMPRESSOR DAMAGE Cc Table 2-2.

SEPARATOR WATER LEVEL RISES ABOVE THE GAUGE GLASS, SHUT DOWN THE COMPRESSOR IMMEDIATELY AND CHECK FOR RESTRICTION IN THE WATER DISCHARGE FROM THE SEPARATOR. IF THE SEPARATOR PRESSURE IS BELOW 3 PSIG (122 kPa), THROTTLE A DISCHARGE VALVE AND RECHECK. DURING NORMAL, OPERATION, THE SYSTEM BACK PRESSURE WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO PRESSURIZE THE SEPARATOR. IF THE SYSTEM BACK PRESSURE IS NOT SUFFI- CIENT TO PRESSURIZE THE SEPARATOR, A DISCHARGE ORIFICE MAY BE RE- QUIRED. CONSULT YOUR NASH REP- RESENTATIVE FOR RECOMMENDATIONS, Note If the compressor is turbine driven, the separator bypass valve may have to be readjusted (opened) in order to maintain the 3 psig (122 kPa) value while the turbine is coming up to speed. If com- pressor operation becomes unstable, compressor Vibration levels will increase and the pumping volume will decrease. Open the separator bypass valve gradually in order to attempt to restabilize the compressor. If the compressor stabilizes, par- tially close (throttle) the separator bypass valve. IF THE COMPRESSOR DOES NOT STABILIZE, SHUT DOWN THE SYSTEM IMMEDIATELY, AND DETERMINE THE CAUSE. If the com: pressor is being checked out in the system, the discharge isolation valve may have to be throttled (partially closed) in order to achieve the required 3 sig (122 kPa) separator back pressure. 4. While the compressor is being stabilized at the dis- charge pressure setting, check the flow of liquid seal (water) to the compressor. In once-through systems, - Maint ‘make certain that the liquid seal is flowing out of the ball float. In recirculated systems, make certain that the recirculation pump (if used) is operating. a constant check on the temperature of the compressor casing during the start-up procedure. If the temperature rises rapidly or is 25°F (14°C) or ‘more above the liquid compressant temperature, shut down the unit immediately and determine the cause. After starting the compressor, monitor the temperature of the bearing housing until the bearing housing temperature stabilizes for a minimum of 30 minutes. CAUTION IF THE BEARING HOUSING TEM- PERATURE IS MORE THAN 30°F (17°C) ABOVE THE COMPRESSOR CASING TEMPERATURE, SHUT DOWN THE COM- PRESSOR IMMEDIATELY AND DETERMINE. THE CAUSE. . Check the compressor for vibration and noise. Ex- cessive vibration and noise is an abnormal condition fon a Nash compressor. Shut down the compressor i mediately and determine the cause, |. Check the speed (RPM) of compressor shaft rotation by prying the access plug from the fixed bearing outer cap and inserting a tachometer with a shaft ex- tension, if necessary. Compare the meastired speed with the rated speed for the compressor. The rated ‘operating speed and capacity can be determined from the purchase specifications or by consulting with your Nash Representative. When the compressor has completed the stabilization interval specified in Table 2-2 for operation at 3 psig (122 kPa), gradually throttle (close) the separator bypass valve until the normal discharge operating pressure is obtained. Observe that no abnormal noise or vibration is produced as the separator bypass valve is throttled. If abnormal noise or vibration is ob- served, gradually open the separator bypass valve un- til the’ abnormal condition disappears, Thereafter, throttle the separator bypass valve again to obtain the normal discharge operating pressure. If noise oF vibration is observed again, shut down the com- pressor and determine the cause With the compressor stabilized at the normal discharge operating pressure, repeat steps d through After the compressor has been running for ten minutes with steady leakage from the stuffing box, tighten the sland nuts evenly one flat at a time. Repeat at ten minute intervals until there is a leakage of approxi- mately 45 to 60 drops per minute from the gland with no overheating. Subsequent tightening of the gland ‘nuts one flat at a time should be done with the com- pressor operating at normal working temperature and ressure, Section 3 TROUBLESHOOTING 3-1 LOCATING TROUBLES Nash Series CL-200, CL-300, CL-400, CL-700, CL-1000, and CL-2000 ‘pumps require little attention other than periodic checking of V-belt tension (when ap- plicable), and checking the ability of the pump to obtain full volume, or maintain constant vacuum (vacuum Pump) or ‘constant pressure (compressor). If an operating difficulty arises, make the following checks: a, Check for proper liquid compressant flow rate by reading the correct flow rate that has been establish cd for the unit. (Refer to Paragraph 2-2.) b. Check for the correct direction of shaft rotation as ‘cast on the body of the pump. ©. Check that the pump is operating at the correct rpm—not necessarily the test rpm stamped on the ump nameplate. (Refer to the instructions in Paragraph 2-6, step g or Paragraph 2-7, step h.) 4. Check for an obstruction in the discharge piping. Back pressure at the discharge port reduces capacity, reduces vacuum level (vacuum pump) or discharge pressure (compressor), and increases the driving horsepower that is required. . Check for restriction in the gas inlet line by reading the vacuum or pressure gauge in the inlet piping at the pump and at the process. Undersize piping and line obstructions produce a higher vacuum at the Pump than the readings obtained at the work or pro- ess. Inlet throttling should nor be used in com- Dressor systems. f. If the pump is shut down because of a change in temperature, noise and/or vibration from the normal operating conditions, check the bearings lubrication, bearings condition, ‘and coupling or V-belt drive alignment. Refer to Bulletin No. 642, Installation In- structions, Nash Vacuum Pumps and Compressors, for alignment procedures and V-belt tensioning. Note If the trouble is not located through these checks, call your Nash Representative before dismantling the pump. He will assist in locating and correcting the trouble. Section 4 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE 4 1 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE, Note The following schedules should be modified as necessary for your specific operating conditions. 4-2. Six-Month Intervals a. If the drive coupling is lubricated, it should be filled with oil or grease in accordance with the coupling manufacturer's instructions. b. Check the pump bearings and lubricate, if necessary, as specified in Paragraph 4-4. . Relubricate the drive motor bearings according to the ‘motor manufacturer's instructions d. If lobe purge piping is installed, check to ensure that the piping is not plugged. 4-3: Twelve-Month Intervals a. Inspect the pump bearings and lubricate, if necessary, as specified in Paragraph 4-4, b. Replace the stuffing box packing as specified in Paragraph 4-5. 4-4 BEARING LUBRICATION ‘The pumps described in this Bulletin have grease lubricated bearings. Bearings are lubricated before ship- ment and require no further lubrication for approx- imately six months. To check bearings, move the bear- ing caps back and inspect the condition and quantity of arease inside the bearing housing. If the condition and Quantity of the grease is satisfactory, fasten the bearing caps back in place. If the bearing grease is contaminated or the quantity is low, replace or add grease. Using a clean putty knife or similar tool, pack the bearing on both sides with grease in accordance with the specifications in Table Until the grease is flush with the edge of the bearing ner and outer race. Pack each bearing cap 1/4 to 1/3, full and reassemble the bearing cap. Use “clean” grease and make certain that no dirt enters the bearing hous- ing. Be careful when replacing gaskets and shims so that the original shaft adjustments are maintained. Repeat the bearing check and lubrication procedure every year, unless the pump is being operated in a cor- rosive atmosphere or with a liquid compressant other than water, in which case the interval should be short- ened. 4-5 STUFFING BOX PACKING A. preventative maintenance schedule should be established for the tightening and replacement of the packing in the stuffing boxes of the pump. The packing In the stuffing boxes in pumps used in continuous pro- cess systems should be replaced at annual shutdown. More frequent replacement may be required on severe process applications in which liquid compressant in the pump is contaminated by foreign material or patible with the existing packing material. (The packing. material consists of four to seven rings with the dimen- sions listed in Table 5-1.) In some cases, a different pack- ing material may be required because of the liquid com- ressant used. ‘When replacing the packing in a stuffing box, remove the old packing as follows: Note If lantern glands are used, record position and number of packing rings on cach side of lantern gland. This information is used during reassembly c C C C to make certain that lantern gland is correctly aligned. a, Slide stinger (3, Figure 5-14) and slinger spring (3-1) away from stuffing box on shaft. b. Loosen and remove gland nuts (102-1 or 103-1, Figure 4-1) from studs (102-2 or 103-2) ¢. Slide packing gland assembly (112) as far from stuff- ing box as it will go or loosen two packing gland nuts () holding halves of packing gland assembly (112) together and remove two halves. 4. Screw tips of packing pullers (2, Figure 4-2) into packing (1). «. Pull packing (1) out of stuffing box. f. If lantern gland (10, Figure 4-1) is used, form two lantern gland. pullers from 1/8-inch’ @.2-mm) diameter steel wire as shown in Figure 4-3. 8. Work bent tip of each lantern gland puller around outer diameter of lantern gland in stuffing box until Pillers are felt catching in slots in lantern gland on ‘opposite sides. Table 4-1.

Section 5 DISASSEMBLY, INSPECTION AND REASSEMBLY S-1 DISMANTLING PUMP The procedure described is for the disassembly of a Series CL-200 pump shown in Figure 5-14. When disassembling other pumps, compare the exploded view in the applicable Figure 5-15 through 5-19 with Figure 5-14 to identify corresponding parts. Before disassem- bling the pump, isolate the electrical input. and discon- rect the water connections, coupling to drive motor or V-belt drive, and pressurized lines. Disassemble and reassemble the pump on a level base to keep the pump feet aligned in the same plane. A sturdy base will facilitate the use of blocks to support the pump body when the head is removed. Mark all parts as they become accessible during disassembly to ensure correct positioning for reassembly as shown in Figures $-1 and 5-2. Before starting disassembly, collect the parts, materials and standard tools, and Tabricate the special tools listed in the following paragraphs, all of which are required for disassembly and reassembly of the pump. Parts and Materials a. Minimum recommended spares specified in Legends for Figures 5-14 through 5-19 (which should be kept on hand at all times).
