This information includes a description of how to operate and maintain these vacuum pumps. Note For installation information, refer to Bulletin No. 642, Installation Instructions, Nash Vacuum Pumps and Compressors. Note The vacuum pumps are built using English un of measure. Metric SI conversions (shown in parentheses) are included for reference only; use the English unit values when performing maintenance procedures. The metric conversions for pressure, expressed in kilopascals (kPa), are in absolute pressure units for all pressures above and below atmospheric pressure. Pump sizes AHFS0, AHF80 and AHF120 include pedestal assemblies that provide support and transmit driving force from a motor to the pump. The pedestal assemblies are directly coupled to the shaft of a drive ‘motor or through a V-belt connection. Pump sizes MHFS0, MHF80 and MHFI20 are assembled to the electric motor shaft 1-2 HOW THE NASH VACUUM PUMP WORKS, The main functional assemblies of a Nash vacuum pump are shown in Figure 1-1, A rotor (8) in the vacuum pump is turned by a motor that is directly coupled to the drive shaft (9) or through a V-belt connection. (As indicated in Paragraph I-1, the drive shaft is supported either by a pedestal assembly or the drive motor itself.) The rotor (8) lies within a chamber formed by the casing of the lobe (2) Liquid compressant (usually water), which is called the seal liquid, is applied to the chamber from a liquid inlet (5, Figure 1-1) through the head (3). Figure 1-2 shows the functional operation of the vacuum pump. The actions illustrated therein and described below are made possible because the axis of the lobe (2, Figure 1-2) casting is offset from the axis of the rotor (3) and the head. 4. Inlet liquid compressant fills the rotor sector at point A, Figure 1-2. e 7 |. Test Number Lobe Head Ar Inlet Liquid Compressant inet Air Discharge Drain Plug Rotor Drive Shaft (Motor or Pedestal Assembly) Figure 1-1. Functional Assemblies of Vacuum Pump b. Centrifugal force empties the sector at point Bl, forcing the liquid compressant towards the lobe 2) casing. Low pressure at point B2, caused by the receding of the liquid compressant from the center of the rotor (3) chamber, draws air through the head air inlet port (5). ©. Airis compressed by converging the ligt compressant at point Cl. The liquid compressant is forced back toward the center of the rotor (3) chamber at point C2. d. The liquid compressant and compressed air are discharged at point D. The motion of the liquid being rotated in the pump ‘operates as a compressant for the air pump. In addition, the liquid compressant acts as a seal, preventing ait leakage to the atmosphere.Figure 1-2. Functional Operation of Vacuum PumpSection 2 OPERATION 2-1 PREPARATION FOR INITIAL START-UP Note Contact your Nash Representative for start-up assistance. 2-2 Liquid Compressant (Seal Liquid) Proper operation of the vacuum pump requires that liquid compressant (seal liquid) be supplied at the proper rate of flow. The ideal liquid compressant is fresh water at 60°F (15°C). The seal liquid supply flow rates should be as specified in Table 2-1. Variations in the flow rate of +25 percent will not damage the vacuum pump, but wide variations may decrease vacuum pump capacity. See Figure 2-1 for it mis for the seal liquid 2-3 Draining and Flushing Before starting the vacuum pump upon completion of alignment (as specified in Bulletin No. 642, Installation Instructions, Nash Vacuum Pumps and Compressors), remove the’ drain plug (22, Figure 5-15) from the vacuum pump. Open the shut-off valves for the seal liquid supply and the initial prime bypass. (See Figure 2-1.) Allow the seal liquid to flow until there is a clear flow from all drains, Although the vacuum pump is flushed with inhibiting oil prior to shipment, a light film of rust may form before installation is complete, This film will disappear after the vacuum pump shait has been manually rotated a few times. Close the shut-off valve for the initial prime bypass only. Reinstall the drain plug using a pipe thread compound. 2-4 Preliminary Inspection Perform the following preliminary inspections before starting the vacuum pump. WARNING PERFORM ALL OF THE FOLLOWING STEPS IN ORDER TO ENSURE PERSONNEL SAFE- TY AND EQUIPMENT PROTECTION. a. Isolate all power sources to the motor wo make certain no accidental starting occurs, b. Inspect the pump to make certain that the drain plug has been installed. ce. Inspect all piping 10 make certain that proper connections have been made to the pump and its basic system in accordance with the Nash installation drawing(s) supplied with your pump. d. Inspect all vacuum pump control devices (such as flow control valves, solenoid valves, orifices, etc.) 0 Table 2-1. Recommended Seal Liquid Flow Rates Pane sie | wi ie US GPMUN/min) 26) 218) am | make certain that they have been located 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. ¢. Open the shut-off valve for the seal liquid supply and the initial prime bypass shut-off valve. (See Figure 2-1.) Allow the seal liquid to flow until it lows from the pump discharge to prime the pump. Close the initial prime bypass shut-off valve. CAUTION NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP WITHOUT ADEQUATE PRIME AND “SEAL LIQUID FLOW. SEVERE DAMAGE MAY RESULT. f, Remove the coupling or V-belt drive guard and rotate the pump shaft by hand in the direction of rotation indicated by the arrow cast in the pump head. THE PUMP SHAFT MUST ROTATE FREELY. If the pump shaft is bound and cannot be turned freely by rotating it manually, contact your Nash rep- resentative for assistance. Reinstall the guard. CAUTION DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FREE A PUMP SHAFT FROM A BINDING OR BOUND CONDITION BY APPLYING POWER TO THE MOTOR. SEVERE DAMAGE MAY RESULT. 2-5 START-UP AND OPERATING CHECKS. ‘The starting procedure for individual pump installations is determined by the system package in which the pump is installed. The following precautions should always be observed. WARNING IF THE PUMP IS TO BE CHECKED IN A SYS- ‘TEM, NOTIFY THE APPROPRIATE PLANT PERSONNEL BEFORE STARTING THE PUMP, PARTICULARLY WHEN PLACING THE PUMP 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. a. Make certain that the pump is primed and that the shut-off valve for the seal liquid supply is open (Paragraph 2-4, step e) b. Apply power to the drive motor. cc. Check the speed of the pump shaft rotation with a tachometer and compare the measured speed with the rated rpm for the pump. The rated rpm and capacity can be determined from the Engineering Data Sheet or by consulting your Nash representative. (A test pm is shown on the nameplate fastened to the pump lobe; however, this nameplate data may not show the exact operating speed for your application.) d. Maintain a constant check on the temperature of the Pump casing. If the temperature rises raj is25°F (14°C) or more above the temperature of the seal liquid, SHUT DOWN THE PUMP IMMEDIATELY AND DETERMINE THE CAUSE. - On type AHF pumps, check the temperature at the bearing housing area of the pedestal, If the temperature exceeds 140°F (60°C), SHUT DOWN THE PUMP IMMEDIATELY AND DETERMINE THE CAUSE. On type MHF pumps, check the temperature at the motor bearing housing areas. The temperature should not exceed the limits specified in the motor manufacturer's instructions, ‘TYPE MHF TYPE AHF 1.

Recommended Piping Connections (Sheet 2 of 2) Sect n3 TROUBLESHOOTING 3-1 LOCATING TROUBLES Nash Type AHF and MHF vacuum pumps require little attention other than periodic checking of the ability of the vacuum pump to obtain full volume or maintain constant vacuum. If a V-belt drive is used, V- belt tension should be checked periodically and the V- belts should be inspected for excessive wear. For V-belt tension requirements, refer to Bulletin. No. 642, Installation Instructions, Nash Vacuum Pumps and Compressors. V-belts are normally rated for lives of 24,000 hours. If operating difficulties arise, make the following checks: {. Check for proper seal liquid flow rate, The seal liquid flow rate shall be as specified in Table 2-1. b. Check for the correct direction of pedestal assembly or drive motor shaft rotation as shown by the arrow cast in the head of the vacuum pump. cc. Check that the vacuum pump operates at the correct rpm—not necessarily the rpm stamped on the vacuum pump nameplate, (Refer to Paragraph 2-5, step ¢.) 4. Check for an obstruction in the discharge piping. (See Figure 2-1.) Back pressure at the pump discharge reduces capacity, reduces vacuum, and increases the driving horsepower that is required. ce. Check for an restriction in the air inlet line (Figure 2-1) by reading the vacuum gauge in the inlet piping, as close to the pump as possible. Undersize inlet piping and line obstructions produce a higher vacuum on the vacuum gauge than the readings obtained at the work or process. £ Check process piping for leaks and/or mal- functioning valves. 8. If the pump is shut down because of a change in temperature, noise and/or vibration from the normal operating conditions, check the condition of the Pump pedestal or motor bearings, coupling or V-belt drive alignment, and V-belt tension if applicable. Refer to Bulletin No. 642, Installation Instructions, Nash Vacuum Pumps and Compressors for alignment pro- cedures and V-belt tensioning. h. If the pump or pedestal assembly causing the trouble hhas been dismantled previously, check for improper reassembly of pump and pedestal assembly parts. If the trouble is not located through these checks, call your Nash Representative before dismantling or disassembling the pump. He will assist in locating and correcting the trouble.Section 4 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE 4-1 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE Note The following schedule should be modified as necessary for your specific operating conditions. General. Perform the following: a. Check that the seal liquid flow rate is as specified in Table 2-1 and Paragraph 2-2. b. On type AHF pumps, check the pedestal bearing housing temperature vs the pump lobe temperature, CAUTION IF THE BEARING HOUSING TEMPERA- TURE IS MORE THAN 30°F (17°C) ABOVE THE LOBE TEMPERATURE OR IF THE BEARING HOUSING TEMPERATURE EX- CEEDS 140°F (60°C), SHUT DOWN THE PUMP IMMEDIATELY AND DETERMINE ‘THE CAUSE. Monthly. Perform the following: a, Clean the seal liquid line strainer, . On type AHF pumps, check V-belts, if used, for wear and correct tension as specified in Bulletin’No. 642, Installation Instructions, Nash Vacuum Pumps and Compressors. Semi-Annually. Perform the following: a. Check and lubricate the motor bearings as specified in the motor manufacturer's standard recommenda- tions. b. Check for proper operation of the seal liquid solenoid valve. Annually. Perform the following: a. On type AHF pumps, inspect the coupling insert, if used, for wear and ‘replace if signs of wear are evident. . Check the inlet check valve for proper operation. . Check that the vacuum relief valve is free to operate properly. 4-2 LUBRICATION ‘Type AHF pedestal drive end and pump end bearings (307 ‘and 308, Figure 5-6) are double shielded, prepacked with grease and do not require lubrication. On type MHF pumps, refer to the motor manufac- turer's instructions for motor bearing lubrication requirements. 4-3 SHUTDOWN PERIODS If the vacuum pump must be taken out of service for ‘more than two weeks, perform the following steps: a, Remove the drain plug from the pump and drain all liquid compressant. b, Onall iron vacuum pumps, apply a good flushing oil (rust inhibitor) at the liquid compressant inlet and run the pump for not more than one minute 10 coat the interior with oil . Rotate the motor or pedestal assembly shaft by hand every two weeks during the shutdown period. When the pump is to be put back into service, start it in accordance with the starting directions in Paragraph Section 5 DISASSEMBLY, INSPECTION AND REASSEMBLY 5-1 DISMANTLING PUMP The vacuum pump operates most efficiently when the rotor to head clearance is the same as that set by the Factory. Continued use over a long period of time may cause this internal clearance to change. If pump operation indicates that trouble has developed, it may be necessary to dismantle the pump to inspect for readjustment of this clearance. If wear has been uniform on the head and on the rotor port face, clearance can be readjusted by removing shims that aré located at gap “A”. (See Figure 5-1.) Clearance adjustment is made as specified in Paragraph 5-10. If the need for a dismantling operation is indicated, disassemble the pump as follows, marking all parts a5 they become accessible to ensure that they can be reassembled in the proper position. Refer to Table 5-1 for approximate weights of major parts. 5-2 Preparation for Disassembly Disassembly of the vacuum pump for inspection, adjustment of rotor to head clearance, and/or replacement of defective parts requires certain materials and common hand tools that may have to be fabricated. 1.
