5.0 OPERATION

During the initial trial operation after installation and the operation after disassembly or
maintenance, carefully follow paragraph 5.1 to 5.2. During normal operation, be sure to follow
paragraph 5.2 to 5.4.

5.1 Preparation and Checks for Pre-Start:

(1) Check lifting gap of the pump shaft. (Refer to 5.3.6)

(2) Ensure that the control panel system is correctly connected to the pump set and
functioning satisfactorily.

(3) Remove any objects such as wood or wire from the pump suction pit.

(4) Check the quantity of lubricating oil or grease for pump and motor bearing.

(5) Confirm the motor rotating direction.

(6) Check the auxiliary piping, accessory and etc.

(7) Open the air-vent valve of the pump.

(8) Confirm that the water level in the suction pit is above the lowest level. The lowest level
for which the pump can be normally operated is shown in the outline drawing. If the level
is too low or the shape of the suction pit is not proper, an air entrained vortex may be
produced, resulting in pump vibration. The water level must be verified with a water level
gauge.

(9) Adjust the gland packing so that a small amount of water continuously leaks. If the gland
packing is tightened excessively or unevenly, gland packing and packing sleeve will wear
down and should be replaced if necessary.

(10) If necessary, supply the cooling water to the motor or pump bearings and check the
flowrate.

(11) If the instrument is attached to the pump, check the normal operation, breakage, loose
supply and check the Initial setting value.

(12) Especially, if axial vibration instrument is installed, it should be reset in the field so that
Initial gap becomes -10.0Vdc.

5.2 Cautions for Start Up

⚫ DURING PUMP OPERATION, DO NOT TOUCH ROTATING PARTS OF THE


PUMP.KEEP HANDS, HAIR AND TOOLS AWAY FROM THESE PARTS TO PREVENT
SERIOUS HUMAN ACCIDENTS.

Check and make sure that starts up requirements are completely satisfied.

(1) Ensure that adequate lubricating and cooling water is supplied.(If applicable)

(2) Check and ensure correct oil level for thrust bearing. (If applicable)

(3) Check and be sure that the pump discharge valve is fully closed.(For this type of pump,
it is better to start the pump with discharge valve closed condition or crack open(5~15%)
condition for stable start.)

(4) Now start the pump. Check whether the discharge valve is fully open after starting the
pump normally.

(5) At the first time of operation, after pump installation or reassembly, run the pump for a
short period of time. During this time, check that the equipment runs satisfactorily without
detrimental surges, vibration, noise, etc.

(6) If operation is satisfactory, run the pump continuously.

⚫ SHUT-OFF OPERATION SHOULD BE AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE (NOT MORE THAN


2 MINUTE). OTHERWISE THE PUMP CAN BE DAMAGED BY LIQUID
TEMPERATURE RISE.

⚫ FLUSH AND CLEAN THE SYSTEM THOROUGHLY TO REMOVE DIRT OR DEBRIS IN


PIPE SYSTEM IN ORDER TO PREVENT PREMATURE FAILURE AT INITIAL
STARTUP.

⚫ PUMP MANUFACTURE CANN’T WARRANTY REGARDING THE TROUBLE THAT


OCCURRED BY NOT FILLING GREASE OR OIL.

35 | P a g e
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

5.3 Cautions during Operation

The pump can operate throughout the operation range described in PERFORMANCE
CURVE. Hyosung is not responsible for problems caused by operation out of range.
Operation at the shut off condition should not be more than 2 minutes. Check that lubricating
and cooling water supply are normal. (If applicable)

Pay attention to abnormal noise and abnormal vibration. If air or foreign matter enters the
pump, or if there is a change in the operation duty point of the pump, defect of valve in the
discharge lines, abnormal noise and vibration can occur, and pump discharge pressure can
vary greatly or the current meter of the motor will vary suddenly during operation. In such
cases, immediately check these problems to determine cause. Refer to paragraph 6.10
“TROUBLE SHOOTING” (If applicable) Check the pump thrust bearing temperature. After
starting the pump, regularly check the temperature rise of the pump thrust bearings. Even
after the temperature reaches a steady value, check it. If the temperature rises abnormally,
shut down the pump immediately and investigate the cause.

If a gland packing is applied, adjust the gland packing so that a small amount of water
continuously leaks. If the amount of leakage cannot be adjusted by adjusting the gland
packing, a new gland packing should be replaced. Gland Packing is a consumable item.
Depending on foreign matter and adjustment conditions, the gland packing life time reduced
possible. In addition, excessive tightening of gland packing can cause damage to the gland
packing and packing sleeves.

5.4 CAUTIONS FOR STOP

5.4.1 Normal Stopping

(1) Stop the pump and close the discharge valve fully.

(2) Close the valve of external flushing/cooling water supply line. (If installed)

⚫ IF THE PUMP HAS STOPPED DUE TO POWER FAILURE, TURN OFF THE POWER
SWITCH AND THEN CLOSE THE DISCHARGE VALVE. THIS WILL PREVENT THE

FREEZES WHILE STOPPING PUMPING IN WINTER, ETC.

6.1 General

(1) In general, any type of equipment must be maintained in good condition for repair if it is
to give satisfactory and efficient service. HGS pumps are designed to operate for
extended periods with a minimum of regular maintenance, the frequency and scope of
maintenance are different depending on pump installation and operating conditions. Ex)
Grouting strength of base plate, base plate level, slurry in fluid, pump operating range,
miss-alignment and etc.

(2) Under normal circumstances, regular performance of the preventive maintenance tasks
outlined in Paragraph 6.2 will prevent costly breakdowns and detect most problems that
may arise.

(3) Manufacture's recommendation for pump maintenance is about 8,000 hours (annually or
once every two years), but it can be shortened or extended considering pump's operating
condition (efficiency, vibration, bearing temperature and etc.). Maintenance is required
prior to the recommendation period if pump problems such as excessive wear, damage
to internal parts, increased vibration, bearing high temperature.

(4) In the event a pump malfunction is suspected, refer to the Troubleshooting Chart of
Paragraph 7.0.

(5) If major maintenance is required, refer to the procedures of Paragraphs 6.4 thru 6.6. for
driver maintenance requirements refer to the driver manufacturer's instructions.

38 | P a g e
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

6.2 Preventive Maintenance

Periodic testing or monitoring of critical pump performance factors, such as head, flow, driver
current, speed, temperatures, vibration levels, etc., is recommended to establish a reliable
data baseline for use in evaluating and projecting the pump's condition and in establishing
the maintenance requirements for its particular application. The scope and frequency of
periodic testing is primarily a matter of customer decision based on the severity of pump
operating conditions. In most cases the faithful measurement, recording, review and
extrapolation of periodic test results every few months will provide a sufficiently adequate
and reliable indication of pump condition that major maintenance, when needed, can be
scheduled and performed in a timely manner.

In additional to periodic testing, the following maintenance should be performed regularly:

(1) Check tightness of the pump and driver mounting fasteners, which may loosen, and
tighten them as necessary.

(2) Inspect all piping for evidence of leakage, loosening or other damage and repair as
necessary.

(3) When pump size permits, periodically rotate shaft by hand to check for free rotation. If
binding occurs, recheck pump alignment and impeller setting.

(4) Refer to manufacturer's instructions for driver lubrication, periodic inspection and any
other schedule maintenance tasks to be performed.

39 | P a g e

INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

6.4 Inspection

6.4.1 Stuffing Box

(1) Gland packing

The packing needs to be replaced when leak water increases and adjustment is no longer
possible by tightening the gland. Gland packing is a consumable item and stop the pump
and proceed with the following steps carefully. If the packing is improperly installed, leakage
will not be stopped and the sleeve may wear-down unevenly.

⚫ DO NOT TIGHTEN THE GLAND TO THE POINT OF ZERO LEAKAGE. A SMALL


AMOUNT OF LEAKAGE IS NECCESARY TO ENSURE COOLING AND LUBRICATION
OF THE PACKING AND TO PREVENT SHAFT SLEEVE DAMAGE.

a) Removal

Used packing should be removed and discarded. Use the tool like a FIG.6.1 or screw
driver and remove, taking care to avoid damage to the stuffing box and sleeve.

FIG.6.1

b) Replacement

Stuffing box and packing sleeve must be clean and check wear-down. Push the gland
packing, one by one, into the stuffing box. Cut ends of the packing must always be
staggered by 90°~180°. Wrap gland packing on shaft sleeve and cut length 1 or 2 %
longer than normal. Cut ends should be at around 45 degrees. Avoid excessive
tightening of gland packing.

SWMUP □ 12.5X12.5mm 3m PILLAR #6501L

(2) Packing sleeve

If the sleeve wears unevenly on one side by more than 0.3 mm, the effectiveness of the
packing seal will be reduced, so replace the sleeve. When the sleeve is worn evenly,
refer to 6.4.2 (2).

6.4.2 Disassembly Inspection

Perform disassembly inspection annually or once every two years depending on the
operating conditions. At such times, it is desirable that the interior of the suction pit also be
cleaned. During the disassembly inspection, always take photographs showing a scale, and
make records of the condition of the parts. Each part is to be inspected.

(1) Journal bearing and sleeve

The maximum allowable gap between the journal bearing and the sleeve is shown in
Table 5.1. If the maximum allowable gap in Table 5.1 is exceeded, replace the part(s) as
necessary. Take measurement at two points 90° apart at the center and both ends of the
bearing and sleeve.

JOURNAL BEARINGS AND SHAFT SLEEVES ARE CONSUMABLE PARTS THAT
WEAR-DOWN NATURALLY AS THE PUMP OPERATION. THUS, THE PROBLEM
OCCURS, BEARING AND SLEEVE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TO REPLACE.

(2) Packing sleeve

The even wear is acceptable if it is less than 2.2 mm in diameter. But the outer surface
of the sleeve must be machined so that it is smooth.

(3) Shaft

Support the shaft on solid V-blocks and use a dial indicator as illustrated in Fig. 6.3.1.
Use care so that there are no foreign matters on the V-blocks or on the shaft surface.
Place the shaft with its keyway on upside. The keyway is supposed to be at 0 degree of
phase angle. Apply the indicator plunger to shaft surface clear of keyway. Turn the
indicator dial so that the pointer comes to zero position. Slowly turn the shaft by hand,
and take readings at each 90 degree position.

If the shaft surface is perfectly concentric, the pointer would not move. Peak to peak
stroke of the pointer shows double the shaft deflection. To obtain shaft deflection, divide
the total stroke by two.

For example, on a shaft having readings in Fig. 6.3.2, total stroke of the pointer in the
horizontal direction is 7.5 - ( -7.5 ) = 15. This means the shaft is bent by 7.5 toward right.
In vertical direction, total pointer stroke is 0 - 15 = -15. This means the shaft is bent 7.5
downward. In general, modification is required when maximum run out of the shaft
exceeds 75/1000 mm.

(4) KEY

Examine all keys for wear and damage. Ensure that they are flat, parallel and free from
burrs, and properly fit the keyway. Replace if necessary.

(5) Gaskets and O-rings

Gaskets and O-ring must be replaced if they are deformed or lack elasticity.

6.4.3 Maintenance during Prolonged Stoppage

The pump should be maintained so that it may be operated at any time. If Pumps handling
sea water or brackish water must be idled for long periods then operate the pump once every
week or twice to protect the casing from corrosion caused by stagnant sea water.

(1) Remove the gland packing and install packing impregnated with grease.

(2) Turn the shaft by hand about once a month.

(3) Disassemble the automatic air vent valve and overhaul.

(4) Replace the oil in the bearing housing once a year even if the unit is not operated. (If
applicable)

(5) Insulation of the motor will deteriorate when there is high humidity. Take care to keep
the motor dry.

45 | P a g e
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

6.4.4 Bearing Housing

When oil level decreases, remove the air vent cap on the bearing housing and supply oil to
the required level. Oil should be replaced after 2,000 hours of operation, but at least once
every 6 months regardless of total operating hours.

Proceed as follows for bearing lubrication:

Stop pump operation. Remove the oil drain plug and the air vent cap on the bearing cover,
and completely drain oil. Re-install drain plug. Supply new oil to the required level by
checking with level gauge. Re-install air vent cap. Start the pump.

To obtain detail information, please refer to lubricant list.

6.5 Disassembly

(5) In many cases, the following parts cannot be reused when the pump is reassembled, so
prepare their replacements in advance; Rubber rings, O-rings, Gland packing, Three
Bond, and Washers.

6.5.2 Cautions for Disassembly

(1) Cautions for unloading products

a) LUG or eye bolts only use when lifting individual components, do not use when lifting
the pump assembly. Install an eyebolt and shackle in the position recommended by
the manufacturer to lift the pump or heavyweight parts, if supply a lifting jig, work with
the jig.

b) When lifting the pump, use a crane, hoist or wire rope suitable for the weight. Also,
be careful not to slip the wire rope and adjust the tension of the wire rope to prevent
the pump shifting to one side.

c) Use soft padding under the wire to protect the coated or machined surfaces. Do not
raise or lower the parts too rapidly with the crane.

d) When disassembling and assembling components on the floor, use protective blocks
under the components to protect the coated surfaces and prevent rolling.

Protective

FIG.6.4

(2) When laying the shaft horizontally on the floor, it should support at least three positions
(both ends and middle of the shaft) and to prevent bending of the shaft. In the case of
long-term storage, the axle should be kept upright.

(3) Cover the pump parts to protect from damage after disassembly.

47 | P a g e

10.0 APPENDIX

APPENDIX A : Piping Arrangement Type

ARRANGEMENT 1 : (Not recommended) EXPANSION JOINT or FLEXIBLE PIPE COUPLING


BETWEEN THE PUMP AND THE PUMP IN THE
PUMP ANCHOR can cause the pump to have
the same magnitude of force as the nozzle

pressure acting on the pipe inner diameter


area. This force acts on the casing, the pump
fastening bolt, the base, the anchor bolt, and
the pump flange from the nozzle. It is
impractical to design a pump to withstand

such forces, and this arrangement is not

recommended by the Hydraulic Institute and


pump institutes because it reduces pump life.

ARRANGEMENT 2 :
This is better than Arrangement 1, but it is not

as good as Arrangement 3 because it is like


using an insufficient TIE RODS. TIE RODS

should be designed to have a sufficient safety


factor in view of the stresses acting. From the

viewpoint of axial stiffness, the following


formula must be satisfied so that the TIE RODS

array is equivalent to the RIGID PIPE array


(Arrangement 3).

AR= AP (EP/ER)

AR = Total sectional area of TIE RODS (sq.in)

AP = Total sectional area of piping material


(sq.in)

ER = Elastic modulus of TIE RODS material (psi)

EP = Elastic modulus of piping material (psi)

ARRANGEMENT 3 : Although TIE RODS is better than


Arrangements 1 and 2, axial flow may occur in

65 | P a g e
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

the pipeline, which places a load on the pump,


because the pipe length between the pump
and the nearest pipe anchor is long.

When pressure is applied to such a long pipe,


a load is applied to the pump.

ARRANGEMENT 4 : (권장) Recommendation refer to ANSI/H.I. 1.1-5-


1994(Centrifugal Pump) and ANSI/H.I. 2.1-2.5-

1994(Vertical Pump)

 Suction and discharge piping shall be


fixed, supported and restricted near the
pump to avoid application of force and

moment to the pump..

 PIPE ANCHOR should be installed between

EXPANSION JOINT and pump to relieve


axial force.

 The "L" dimension should be made as

small as possible.

In order to obtain the best effect on the piping


ARRANGEMENT 5 : (Optional Design)
arrangement refer to ANSI/H.I. 1.1-1.5-1994
and ANSI/H.I. 2.1-2.5-1994,

 When adequate fixation can not be

provided, sufficient TIE RODS must be


installed and properly adjusted to protect
the pump and the EXPANSION JOINT.

 The suction of TIE RODS and the

movement in the direction of discharge


piping shall be restricted. (Within 0.2 mm

recommended) and the total movement in

the axial direction does not exceed the


specified value.

APPENDIX B : Lubrication of Gear Type Coupling

(1) When assembling the coupling, fully apply the recommended grease to the sleeve and
hub and assemble the coupling. Then use a grease gun to inject grease through the plug
hole.

(2) One month after the first run, remove the existing grease, clean it and inject new grease.
After that, I exchange grease every three months.

2. DESCRIPTION

The bearing supplied is one of the Turbolink vertical combined bearings , as manufactured
by Turbolink Bearings. Turbolink vertical combined bearings are a standard range of
vertical bearings, which are robust, lightweight (dependant on size) and self lubricating.
vertical combined bearings can be fitted with a variety of resistance temperature devices to
measure the temperature of the lubricating oil or pads. Turbolink vertical combined
bearings are usually self contained with water coolers which can be modified for different
methods (i.e. air cooled and circulated oil variations) with minimum modifications to the
basic casing.

The bearing can also be insulated as an option to protect against stray currents while the
machine is in operation.

3. HANDLING THE BEARING

3-1. Introduction

This section points out the relevant information essential when handling the bearing.
The bearing is supplied fully assembled (see arrangement drawing for mass of complete
bearing).
Threaded holes are provided for the fitting of eyebolts on the bearing casing and other
components.
It is advisable to keep the bearing within any casing and packaging until it is necessary to
remove it for assembly.

3-2. Points on Handling

Under no Circumstances should the completed bearing be handled


manually.

Before using any lifting equipment, ensure that it is certified to carry a load
greater than that of the bearing.

When handling the bearing use only provided lifting points.

Make sure bearings are stored in the intended mounting position in a dry room only.
Please check all product equipment to ensure that it is complete before Installation.
Any damage due to transit must be reported to Turbolink straight away.

Fluid Seal Fitting


An o-ring and/or a compression ring are supplied with each fluid seal fitting. Either the
o-ring or the compression ring may be installed as the seal. The o-ring is silicone rubber
and is resistant to petroleum oils, and most hydraulic fluids. The compression ring is
recommended where there is longitudinal vibration or force on the probe.

O-Ring Seal
 Thread fluid seal fitting into mounting hole, using an open end or adjustable
wrench to tighten.
 Tighten sealing nut, turning clock wise, to apply slight pressure to o-ring seal,
then back off approximately 1/2 turn to permit probe insertion through o-ring.
 Insert probe, tip end first, through hole in sealing nut, push slowly through o-ring
seal to approximate depth desired.
 Tighten sealing nut, turning clock wise, to apply moderate pressure to o-ring seal.
Use wrench to tighten. Adjustment of probe can be made when sealing nut is
loosened.

11
Compression Ring Seal
 Thread fluid seal fitting into mounting hole to fit, using an open end or adjustable
wrench to tighten.
 Remove sealing nut and compression ring from fitting and slide them on probe.
 Insert probe, tip end first, into fitting to approximate depth desired.
 Slip compression ring into approximate location. Engage sealing nut on mating
threads. Use wrench to tighten. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. Adjustment of
probe cannot be made after nut is initially tightened.

32 33 Assemble the protection cover to the casing with the wrench bolts.

34 Connect up external pipework.

35 Remove air vent and fill bearing with oil up to the standing oil level marked on the
oil level gauge. Note! Not necessary for circulated oil bearings.

For temperature probe fitted bearings; run the bearing and establish a steady state
operating temperature then set temperature alarm to 5℃ above the steady state operating
temperature. Shut down temperature alarm is to be set at 10℃ above steady state operating

temperature.

12
4-3. Points before use

The bearing is now complete, it must not be used until the items below have been
dealt with;

1. The entire machine has received a Declaration of Conformity, or has been declared
exempt from the Supply of Machinery (Safety Regulations) Act 1992 and the
Machinery Directive.

2. Lubricating oil has passed through the bearing and is at the proper level .
Note!!
The lubricating oil must be a mineral based turbine oil inhibited against
oxidation, corrosion and foaming, with an lSO viscosity grade as indicated on the
arrangement drawing.
The use of any other oil should be referred to Turbolink.

Do not use the bearing unless the cooling system is operating.

3. Local safety regulations have been met.

13
5. OPERATlNG

5-1. lntroduction

This section points out the risks that can occur when operating the machine.

Do not touch any moving parts.

5-2 Operating Risks

If the bearing has been correctly assembled, using the procedure already given, there is
only a marginal risk of the bearing failing which would be due to the design conditions
being exceeded.
Examples of these conditions are;
overspeed, low lubrication levels and excess load. In order to avoid these situations, it is
suggested that;

 Control panels are labeled with the bearing limitations.


 The shaft should be stopped immediately if;
1) Coolant circulation fails.
2) Bearing temperature exceeds normal operating temperature by 10℃

The users’ attention is drawn to the fact that both the pipework and
bearing surface may be hot during operation.

In order to avoid leakage of lubricant, plugs, RTDs and seals must never be removed while
the bearing is operating.

14
6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

6-1. lntroduction.

This section demonstrates the care and maintenance needed for the smooth operation of
the machine.

Do not touch any moving parts.

6-2. Procedures

Once the steady state operating temperature has been determined, the alarm point should
be set at 5℃ above this.
Shut down is to occur at 10℃ above the steady state operating temperature.

Regular inspection should be made of all seals and pipework.


Any large leakage of lubricant or coolant will indicate that a seal or join is failing.
Maintenance must then be carried out as soon as possible.

Collect used oil and dispose of under the correct regulations.

15
6-3. Lubricant Change Intervals

Oil changes will be at differing periods depending on the frequency of bearing operation
and the conditions in which the bearing is operating.

To decide whether the lubricant is to be changed, check it visually for apparent changes.

Generally, it is recommended to change the lubricant after about 365 days(about 8700 hr).

The best way to determine the optimum change intervals is to have the lubricant examined
periodically. It should, however, be ensured that the lubricant volume to be changed
justifies the cost incurred for such examination.

Contact the lubricant supplier to determine the applicable change intervals. If the lubricant
is examined at fixed time intervals, make sure to cut back the intervals as soon as quick
changes are observed for certain properties.

Having the lubricant changed at optimum time intervals will minimize unintended
interruptions and alleviate the routine purification of the lubricant circulation.

Otherwise, the installation will have to be cleaned and scavenged, which is a costly and
time consuming job to do, if the lubricant is used beyond the optimum interval.

Carry out a lubricant change if

 You notice such change as the darkening or the thickening of the lubricant.

 Certain values such as viscosity, acid value or contamination increase.

Switch off the installation before starting work on the bearing.


Prevent the installation from restarting.

In case the lubricant contains unusual residues or is visibly changed


eliminate the causes. If necessary, Carry out an inspection.
6-4. Dismantling

The below procedure should be followed when dismantling the bearing.

1. Switch off machinery. Lock off controls. Secure and isolate shaft.

Ensure control gear, bearing gear and any other equipment capable of
moving the shaft is locked out and labeled “Not to be used”.

Beware hot oil. Allow machinery to cool off before proceeding further.

2. Drain and disconnect cooling water supply (in case of water cooling).
3. Remove drain plug and drain oil from bearing.

Any oil spillage should be collected in suitable containers.

4. Disconnect and remove any thermometry and instrumentation.

5. Remove cover and fan blade assembly.

Before removing bolts, fit eye bolts and lifting gear to the cover. Ensure
that the eye bolts are tight and secure.

Before using any lifting equipment, ensure that it is certified to carry a


load greater than the mass of the Component or sub-assembly.

When removing the cover and fan blade assembly, take care not to
damage any equipment.

17
6. Remove casing, anti vortex guide, and upper thrust.
7. Fit lifting bolts and remove the journal pads from the inner support.

The anti vortex guide and journal pads will be oily and may stick.

They will also be very slippery when handling. Take care to avoid
dropping the pads and ring.

8. Jack up the shaft until there is a clearance between the collar and the lower thrust pads.

Ensure that jacking equipment is safely positioned and certified to carry


a load greater than the mass of the shaft.

Once the shaft is raised, secure it in position using other equipment.


Do not rely on jacking equipment alone.

9. Lifting the inner support using lifting gear and remove thrust pads by sliding out.

The thrust pads will be oily and may stick to the casing. The pads will
also be slippery when handling. Take care to avoid dropping and
damaging pads.

18
6-5. Maintenance

Carry out the following maintenance procedures every 1000 operation hours (about 45 day):

With the bearing dismantled, (refer to assembly drawing with parts list) examine the thrust
pads, journal pads, anti vortex guide. There may be some scoring and wear on the pads
and ring, but provided wear is no greater than 0.125mm the pads and ring are still
serviceable. If there is any sign of the white metal surface coming away from the pad or
ring, they must be replaced. Examine the jointing between the casing and cover and that
between the base plate and the sleeve. If the jointing has decayed so that it is either
disintegrating or leaking, it should be replaced.
Examine the O-Ring, if it has started to leak or decay, it should be replaced.

Inspect the collar surface for any signs of damage. If it is necessary to change the pads, the
collar should also be replaced or repaired, otherwise the replacement pads will only have a
short life.

19
Clean the cooler assembly, using the below routine; when fitted.

1. Remove cooler assembly from bearing cover.

2. Clean the bore of the tubes using a high pressure water jet or steam cleaning.

3. Any remaining deposits or blockages can be removed by using a cleaning rod or


hypochlorite based cleaning solution.

There may be fumes given off during the cleaning process.


Clean parts in a well-ventilated area. Always follow cleaner manufacturers’
instructions.

When using cleaning rods, take care not to damage the cooler tubes.

Period to re-assembly, all the old sealant should be removed and fresh sealant applied in
the positions identified in the section on Installation (4.2).

20
6-6. Insulation check of the assembled bearing (If insulated type)

Insulated vertical bearings should undergo an insulation check before being put into operation.
if the bearings are assembled it is possible to carry out such a check only if there is no
conductive connection between shaft and foundation.

① Check if there is no conductive connection.

② Use suitable testing equipment to measure the resistance.

③ Following minimum resistance values at the testing voltage indicated should be given:

- Testing voltage 250 V Minimum resistance: 5 MΩ


500 V 2 MΩ

④ If you can no reach these values, please check:

- if there are other conductive areas outside the bearing.

- the insulation between shaft, runner and the foundation.

⑤ After elimination of other conductive areas, check the insulation again as described above,
until you can reach the indicated minimum values.

Appendix 3. Bearing Preservation During Storage

Caution:
Wear protection clothes when using preservatives. Please observe the instructions for the use
of the preservatives and the accident prevention rules.

Before installation :
Make sure bearings are stored in the intended mounting position, in a dry room only.

1. Bearing Preservation for Standstill Periods up to 6 months.


To protect the bearing mounted on an installation against corrosion proceed as follows:

① Remove all instruments.

② Dismantle the bearing

③ Clean the bearing

④ Paint or spray all bare metal parts inside and outside with anti-corrosive such as TECTYL 511 or
equivalent anti-corrosive.

⑤ Put a bag of desiccant (silica gel) inside to absorb humidity and prevent the formation of
condensation in the bearing.

⑥ Assemble the bearing

⑦ Close all connection holes for the corresponding fittings with screw plugs.

⑧ Use self adhesive, permanent tape to seal the gaps between shaft, baffle, seal and casing.

⑨ Store the bearing parts including all instruments separated in units in a dry room only.

2. Bearing Preservation for Standstill Periods Longer than 1 year.


① Dismantle the bearing completely.

② Spray or paint all bearing parts with anti-corrosive such as TECTYL 511 or equivalent anti-corrosive.

③ Store the bearing parts separated in units, in a dry room.

25
3. Bearing Preservation during transport.
When the bearing is fitted to the machine during transport.

① Carry out the corrosion protection procedure described in the section on Storage (7.1).

② Apply liberal lubricant to the running surfaces of the bearing.

③ Secure the shaft against axial and radial movement

④ Should there be any heavy shock loads anticipated during transportation, white metal surface

components should ideally be replaced with packing to prevent indention of the white metal
surface.
