2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The compact pumping unit is a self contained assembly incorporating a pump, air separator
chamber, and a by-pass valve assembly. The suction system, in suction pumps, also incorporates
two other parts: the suction strainer, and the pump motor. These three components (the pumping
unit, suction strainer, and pump motor; see Figure 2-1) together form the suction portion of
Wayne suction pumps.

2.1. COMPACT PUMPING UNIT

The Wayne compact pumping unit is a positive displacement rotary type gear pump.
These pumps are called “self-priming” because they do not require an auxiliary device to
remove air or vapor from the suction line in order to function. Rotary pumps operate
with extremely close clearances between the rotating member and the pump casing. This
feature enables them to be good “self-primers” and ideal pumps for gasoline dispensing
systems.

When first put into operation, the interior of the compact pumping unit is wetted with oil
to provide a liquid seal that makes priming quick and easy. The oil used for priming also
serves to lubricate the internal parts of the pumping unit to prevent wear caused by
running the pump dry. A check valve of some sort is installed in the suction line in order
to hold the pumping unit full of product between sales; this eliminates the need for the
pump to re-prime itself at the beginning of each sale.

2.2. SUCTION PUMP MOTOR

The suction pump motor is an electrical motor which is used to drive the compact pump-
ing unit. It is provided in either 1/3 or 3/4 horsepower units, high capacity units use the 3/4
horsepower motor while standard units use the 1/3 horsepower. Both of these motors are
selectable for operation on either 110 VAC or 220 VAC. This change is made by moving
a selector switch located on the front of the pump motor. In order to change the motor
from 110 to 220 VAC operation, or vice versa, perform the following steps:

• Remove the sheet metal screw which secures the selector switch in its current loca-
tion.

• Rotate the selector switch towards the word HI on the motor for operation at 220
VAC, or towards the word LO for operation on 110 VAC.

• Replace the sheet metal screw which was previously removed.

2.3. ATMOSPHERIC AND VAPOR PRESSURE

The pressure of the atmosphere, 14.7 psi at sea level, provides all the force which is
available to push the product from the storage tank to the level of the compact pumping
unit. The actual pressure which is available to push the product to the pumping unit is the
difference between the atmospheric pressure and the low pressure created by the compact
pumping unit. Wayne’s compact pumping unit is capable of creating a minimum low
pressure of approximately 4.9 psi directly under the pumping unit. Using the atmo-
spheric pressure at sea level gives us 14.7 less 4.9, or 9.8 psi available to lift the product
to the pump. This pressure, 9.8 psi, will also be the pressure which is read in the line at
the base of the pumping unit.

The lowering of the pressure at the inlet of the pumping unit brings about a problem
which is the vapor pressure of gasoline. Vapor pressure is the absolute pressure which
must be maintained on the surface of a liquid in order to keep it from turning to vapor.
Water, for example, has a vapor pressure of .26 psi; therefore, if the pressure exerted on
the surface of a bucket of water were lowered to something below .26 psi the water
would immediately turn to vapor. This same characteristic exists in gasoline, diesel,
kerosene, and any other liquid which is pumped at a service station.

Gasoline, as an example, is manufactured with a vapor pressure between 8.5 and 15 psi,
depending on the location and the season. If a station is pumping gasoline with a vapor
pressure of 10 psi, and the pumping unit is operating such that the pressure in the line is
lowered to the minimum of 4.9 psi, then the gasoline in the line will turn to vapor. This
condition is known as vapor lock. Because gasoline vapor occupies approximately 300
times more space than liquid gasoline it will take the pumping unit a considerable amount
of time to remove all of the vapor from the line, even if there is no more vapor being
formed. Temperature also has a large effect on the vapor pressure of any product, as the
temperature increases so does the vapor pressure, therefore, the product becomes easier to
vaporize.

The point to this section is to make the reader aware that if a suction pumping system,
any suction pumping system, is not working correctly the fault could lie with the under-
ground installation, the product, or with the pumping unit.

3. OPERATION

The compact pumping unit, and the pump motor act together to pump product from the storage
tank to the suction pump. In this section each of these components are described separately.

3.1. COMPACT PUMPING UNIT (see Figure 3-1)

The actual “pumping” which is accomplished by the compact pumping unit is accom-
plished using three main parts, the rotor and shaft assembly, the idler, and the relief valve
assembly. As the rotor and shaft turn they turn the idler; because the idler is located
slightly off center in the rotor this rotation causes “gaps” to be opened between the idler
and the “rotor fingers” (see Figure 3-2). This opening of “gaps” is what causes the
lowering of pressure on the suction side of the pumping unit. On the pressure side of the
pumping unit these gaps are closed; the product which is displaced by the closing of the
“gap” is forced toward the outlet of the pumping unit, causing an increased pressure.

3.1.1. By-Pass Assembly

The by-pass assembly is a spring loaded valve which allows product to be


pumped from the pressure side of the pumping unit to the suction side. This
valve is forced open when the pumping unit is running, generating pressure at
the outlet, but the nozzle is not open. The pressure which is built up forces the
valve off of its seat and product circulates through the pumping unit. The
pressure at which this valve will open is called the by-pass pressure; it is
factory set to be 19 to 20 psi in standard capacity single and two product dual
pumps and 27 to 28 psi in all high capacity and single product dual pumps.

3.1.2. Float and Valve Seat Assembly

The cavity formed by the inside of the body of the pumping unit is the air
separator. Product, with some trapped air and vapor, is pumped into the air
separator chamber. The air rises to the top and is pushed out through a tube
which is connected to the nozzle boot.

The float and valve seat assembly is located inside the air separator chamber.
The function of the float and valve assembly is to shut off the flow from the
air separator chamber to the suction side of the pump, when there is no prod-
uct in the air separator chamber. When product is in the air separator chamber
it causes the float to rise, opens the valve seat, and allows product to return to
the suction side of the pump.

3.2. AIR SEPARATION

The air separation of the pumping unit is accomplished in the following manner. Product
is directed into one end of a cylindrical chamber in the pumping unit. The product then
starts to swirl along the chamber and discharges out the other end. Through the centrifu-
gal force on the product, air being lighter than gasoline, the air goes to the center of the
swirling product. The air is collected by a tube at the end of the cylindrical chamber and
is discharged into the air separation chamber through a small hole. Both product and air
exit the small hole. The product is returned to the suction side of the pump when the
product in the chamber becomes high enough to lift the float assembly.

4. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE PUMPING UNIT

There are basically three adjustments which may be performed on the suction pumping system
used in Wayne suction pumps; they are the by-pass pressure, the split sheave pulley and the V-
belt tension. The by-pass pressure is the same pressure which was described at the end of Sec-
tion 3.1.1. The split sheave pulley is the pulley attached to the pump motor; by adjusting this
pulley the revolutions per minute at which the pumping unit will be driven can be changed.

4.1. ADJUSTING THE BY-PASS PRESSURE (see Figures 3-1 and 4-1)

To adjust the by-pass pressure use the following procedure:

1. Install a pressure gauge in the pumping unit at the priming port.

2. Remove the acorn nut (cap) which covers the adjustment screw and lock nut.

3. Turn the pump on, so that the motor and pumping unit are running, but leave the
nozzle closed.

4. Loosen the lock nut and turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase the pressure
and counter-clockwise to lower the pressure.

5. Once the correct pressure is reached tighten down the lock nut and replace the acorn
nut.

4.2. ADJUSTING THE SPLIT SHEAVE PULLEY

The split sheave pulley is factory adjusted and should only need re-adjustment in the field
if it is replaced. To perform the adjustment use the following procedure:

1. Remove the V-belt which drives the pumping unit.

2. Loosen the set screw located on the outer band of the split sheave pulley. (Attached
to the pump motor.)

3. Tighten the pulley by turning the outer half of the pulley clockwise as far as it will go.

4. Loosen the pulley by turning the outer half of the pulley counter clockwise a specified
number of turns. See Table 4-1 for the number of turns to loosen the pulley.

5. Tighten the set screw which was previously loosened. Make sure that the set screw is
tightened down onto one of the flat spots on the pulley shaft.

6. Re-install the V-belt and test for proper operation.

4.3. ADJUSTING THE V-BELT

In order to adjust the V-belt perform the following procedure:

1. Loosen the four bolts which secure the suction pump motor to the frame of the pump.

2. Position the motor to obtain the proper tension on the belt.

Note: Do not adjust the split sheave pulley in an attempt to change the tension on the
belt. To do so will change the rpm at which the pumping unit operates and
possibly cause the pump motor to be damaged by over-torqueing it.

3. The V-belt has the correct tension when it can be deflected approximately 1/2 inch at
its center.

4. Tighten the bolts which were loosened in step 1 and test for proper operation.

5. TESTING THE SUCTION PUMPING SYSTEM

In order to properly test a suction pump it is essential that the service personnel have a vacuum
and pressure gauge. Without these tools an accurate diagnoses of the problem cannot be made.

5.1. VACUUM TEST

In order to perform a vacuum test it is necessary to install a vacuum gauge on the suction
side of the pumping unit. In Wayne compact pumping units the vacuum gauge is in-
stalled in the strainer cover. In order to do this service personnel must obtain an extra
strainer cover and drill and tap it to accept the vacuum gauge. In order to use this “tool”
remove the existing strainer cover and the strainer and replace them with the modified
cover and the gauge.

In order to perform a vacuum test, install the vacuum gauge and turn on the pump. Open
the nozzle and begin dispensing product. The reading should be approximately 1 inch of
vacuum for each 11/2 feet of static lift. (Static lift is the vertical distance from the bottom
of the pumping unit to the level of product in the tank.) The actual reading may vary
slightly depending on the horizontal run, the number of elbows in the line, the size of the
suction pipe, etc.

A high reading indicates that there is a restriction in the suction line; this restriction could
be a stuck check valve, a crushed suction pipe, or a foreign object in the tank, among
many other things. A low vacuum reading indicates one of two things either the pumping
unit is defective (see Section 7 for specific repair procedures); or the pumping unit is
drawing air into the suction line. Two tests can be used to isolate the problem.

5.1.1. Proving the Pumping Unit

To prove that the compact pumping unit is in good working order, perform the
following procedure:

1. Block the suction inlet to the pumping unit. The shipping discs that are in
Wayne pumps when they are sent from the factory can be used for this
purpose.

2. Install a vacuum gauge in the pumping unit.

3. Turn on the pump and try to dispense product. The vacuum reading
should be approximately 12 to 15 inches. If the reading is below 12 to 15
inches the pumping unit is faulty (see Section 7.4).

15
June 1993 Part No. 917601 Rev. A
5.1.2. The Balloon Test

If the pumping unit is not at fault the problem must be that air is being drawn
into the pumping unit. In order to determine if this air is being drawn in
through the underground installation, perform a “balloon test” as follows:

1. Locate the vapor line which is connected to the pumping unit assembly
and the nozzle boot. Disconnect the nozzle boot end of this line.

2. Place a toy balloon over the end of this tube.

3. Turn the pump on and dispense product while observing the balloon.

4. If the balloon inflates, air is probably being drawn in from the piping
before the pumping unit. If the pump tries to draw the balloon into the
tube, the needle valve in the float assembly is probably defective, or
leaking.

If the problem is determined to be before the pumping unit it still could be in


the pump; the union or inlet nipple could be leaking causing air to be drawn
in. To determine if this is the case pour a small amount of motor oil on the top
of the union as well as at the joint between the union and the inlet nipple. If
the leak is at one of these locations the oil will be drawn into the suction line.

5.2. PRESSURE TEST

In Wayne compact pumping units the pressure test is accomplished by installing a pres-
sure gauge at the 1/4" NPT hole located on the end cap. The pumping pressure (the
pressure reading while dispensing product) on a Wayne compact pumping unit should be
17 to 19 psi for standard capacity units and 20 to 25 psi on high capacity units; assuming
that the vacuum reading is approximately 1 inch for each 11/2 feet of static lift.

7. SERVICING THE PUMPING UNIT

7.1. LAPPING THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

If the pressure relief valve is held in the open position, either by debris or an imperfection
in the poppet or its seat, the pump will deliver more slowly than normal. Check the
poppet and its seat, using the following procedure:

1. Remove the relief valve cap, complete with the seal cap, adjusting screw, and gasket.

2. Remove the valve spring and, using a pair of pliers, remove the poppet.

3. Examine the valve seat for signs of debris.

4. If any debris is detected, remove it and thoroughly clean the seat and then the poppet
valve face.

5. If damage to the valve or its seat is apparent, lap the poppet valve face with its seat,
using a very fine carborundum grinding paste and metal polish.

6. When all scores are eliminated, wash both the poppet valve face and its seat with
gasoline to remove all traces of the lapping compound, and then complete the lapping
process using metal polish.

7. When lapping is successfully completed, again thoroughly clean the poppet valve
face and its seat.

8. When dry, rotate the valve on its seat to make sure that there are no high spots.

Caution: Throughout the lapping and checking process, care must be taken to avoid
damaging the valve stem.

9. When the poppet is correctly seated, install it, together with its spring.

10. Fit the pressure relief valve cap, test the dispenser and check that the pump delivers
satisfactorily.

21
June 1993 Part No. 917601 Rev. A
7.2. LAPPING THE PRESSURE RELIEF POPPET STEM

If the stem, attached to the lower end of the valve poppet, is too tight in its guide the
pump will deliver more than normal. To check and/or correct the fit of the stem in its
guide perform the following procedure:

1. Remove the valve poppet as described in Section 6.1.1.

2. Clean both the valve stem and its guide.

3. Using metal polish, polish the valve stem, rotating it occasionally, until it moves
freely in and out of its guide.

Caution: Do not, under any circumstances, reduce the diameter of the valve stem, as this
may destroy the dash pot action and cause the by-pass valve to operate noisily.

4. When the valve stem moves freely in its guide, install the poppet together with its spring.

5. Fit the pressure relief valve cap, test the dispenser and check that the pump delivers
satisfactorily.

7.3. STRAINER

If slow delivery is accompanied by an increase in the noise of the pump, this usually
indicates that the fault is on the suction side: possibly a partial blockage causing the
pump to be “starved” (probably a clogged strainer). To correct this perform the following
procedure:

1. Remove the four screws securing the strainer cap, and withdraw the cap complete
with filter element.

2. Exercising care, clean away any sediment that may have collected or spilled around
the strainer opening.

3. Thoroughly wash the strainer element in gasoline and use clean low-pressure air, to
remove dust and lint.

4. Check the gasket and, if it is serviceable, reinstall it together with the strainer cap and
filter element.

5. Test the dispenser for satisfactory operation, checking for leaks around the strainer cap.

6. If the process of cleaning the strainer element does not result in an improvement in
the speed of delivery, inspect the underground installation for obstructions.
22
Part No. 917601 Rev. A June 1993
7.4. REBUILDING THE PUMPING UNIT

The compact pumping unit depends on very close tolerances between all of its internal
parts in order to work properly. If any of these tolerances become to large due to wear,
product will be allowed to pass from the pressure side of the pumping unit to the suction
side inside the pumping unit itself (for instance product may pass between the idler and
the pump body). If this leakage is allowed to take place the speed of delivery will be
slowed. In order to check/correct these tolerances perform the following procedure:

1. Drain the product from the pumping unit.

2. Remove the screws securing the pump head assembly to the pump body.

3. Remove the pump head assembly together with the idler and the ‘O’-ring seal.

4. Check that the clearance, between the outside diameter of the idler gear teeth and the
inner surface of the relief valve assembly body crescent, is not more than .005 inches
(.125 mm). Replace the idler and/or the by-pass assembly as necessary.

5. Check that the idler internal bore is a close fit with its pin, and that the pin is not
damaged in any way. Replace the idler and/or the pump head assembly as necessary.

6. Check that the clearance, between the outer diameter of the rotor and the bore within
which it revolves, is not more than .005 inches (.125 mm). Replace the rotor and/or
the pumping unit body as necessary.

7. Check that the idler does not have more than .0015 inches (.04 mm) end play when
the pumping unit is assembled. Plastigage can be used for this purpose (In the ab-
sence of plastigage make sure that the rotor shaft cannot be pulled in and out of the
pumping unit housing an excessive amount). Replace the idler and/or rotor to correct
any problem with end play.

8. Check that the rotor shaft is not loose in its bearing bushings.

9. Replace the faulty or badly worn parts, reassemble the pumping unit and test the
dispenser for proper operation.

7.5. REPLACING THE LIP SEAL

If the lip seal is worn product will leak out of the pumping unit around the rotor shaft
possibly causing the pumping unit to not prime easily or deliver slowly. To replace the
lip seal perform the following steps:

1. Remove the drive belt and pump pulley on the rotor shaft to expose the pump shaft
seal.

2. Remove the three screws securing the seal unit.

3. Remove the old seal by pulling it gently along its shaft.

4. Check that the shaft is not scored in such a manner that will damage a new seal when
it is installed.

Caution: In order to avoid damaging the internal surface of the new seal as it is being
placed over the rotor shaft wrap the threads and the sharp shoulder of the
shaft in electrical tape when installing the new seal.

5. Slide the new seal along the shaft and secure it using the screws previously removed
in step 2.

6. With the new seal fitted and secured, replace the pump pulley and the drive belt. Test
the dispenser for proper operation, checking for leaks at the new seal.
