Bearing Lubrication
1. Normal temp 50 c – 85 c
2. For severe application, high quality oil must be used
3. For higher speed, temp rise up to 100 c

4. Shutdown Temp on 105 c (IOM : 120 c)
5. Don’t overfill
6. 50 – 100 hours initial oil change
7. After, periodical service can be use with engine oil change
period

Oil Change
1. First change : 50 - 100 HM

2. After : 2000 HM

* Service Dept said:
Will Be Better to Perform CBA Oil Change
same with Schedule of Engine Oil PM

Shaft Sleeve
1. Conventional type : Without Impeller release Ring

2. Tungsten Carbide Cladding to Improve Wear life

Impeller Release Ring
(Optional Design)
1. High priced
2. 3 pieces segment ring
3. Safer method

4. as

Wet End removal
1. Lototo Procedures
2. Valve are closed
3. Pump is not under pressure

4. Inspect Rigging Equipment
5. Be aware of pinch points and tripping hazards

Wet End Removal
1. Use at least two lift points when moving any pump shell
2. Maneuver the shell off of as evenly as possible, use pushoff
bolt where available

Impeller Removal
1. Never apply heat to a sealed impeller hub

2. Use a Shaft Turning Tools
3. Install the impeller lifting device

4. Rotate the shaft until the impeller is completely
unscrewed

Mounting CBA to Pedestal
1. The pedestal and bearing housing saddles should be

clean, dry, and free from oil or grease
2. Ensure the adjusting screw is aligned with the slot in
the pedestal

3. The bearing housing hold down bolts should now be
installed, but should remain slightly loose until the axial
adjustment of the bearing housing is complete

Gasket Aramid
1. Clean the contact face of the shaft sleeve and impeller

hub thoroughly
2. Install (2) shaft sleeve gaskets

Snap Ring Gasket
1. Exclusive design provides excellent seal and easy

removal for routine maintenance
2. “self trim” while running

Setting Nose Gap
1. What is Nose Gap?

2. Effect to a loss of head,
a loss of efficiency
 consumes more power,

increases NPSHR
and wear

Setting Nose Gap
1. Nose gap adjustment is critical  Should be close to zero

without touching  Operating conditions such as hydraulic
axial force, shaft deflection, and thermal expansion
require a minimum initial clearance

2. Routine re-adjustment
3. KSB GIW pumps have different impeller designs but the
adjustment method is basically the same.

How to Set?
1. Loosen the bearing housing hold down bolts
2. Use adjusting screw to move the bearing assembly

How to Set?
3. Ensure that there is slight contact between the suction

liner and impeller
4. Set Dial Indicator to Zero

How to Set?
5. Using the adjusting screw, move the bearing assembly

back to the proper nose clearance
6. Torque the hold down bolts

Lifting Jig Impeller
1. Special Lifitng Tools

Break Loose Jig
1. Impeller Stopper Jig

Otherwise
2. Use Pipe as a stopper jig

Storages
1. Rust inhibitors treatment for all surfaces
2. Paint surfaces
3. Thread holes protected with plug & grease

4. Lubricated Bearing Assy & Rotate 5 times / month
5. Replace oil if exceed 1 year
6. Indoor storages if available

2. V-Ring & Flinger double protection to contamination
3. Labyrinth Grooves for oil contain & Breather

Others Topics &
Troubleshooting

Pump Alignment

44

Alignment Method

Insufficient Flow Rate
1. Blocked Pipe Line Suction & Discharge

2. Wrong TDH Calculation
3. Air Pocket

4. Air ententained in liquid
5. Clogging
6. Suction Lift too High

Engine Overload
1. Issue B30 – B40

– Fuel Pressure Drop
– Fuel Pipe Inlet

– Fuel Fill Procedures
2. TDH is lower  Flow increased
3. TDH is mis calculated – Engine speed selection
4. Density water increased

Bearing Temperature
1. Blocked discharge or suction piping
2. Low Flow Operation

3. Mis aligned
4. Bearing Failure
5. Insufficient or excessive lubricant
6. Hot ambient temperature

Leakages on LSA Pump

Leakages on LSA Pump

Vibration during operation
1. Blocked Suction & Dischrge Pipe

2. Low Flow
3. TDH is lower  High Flow
4. Not fully primed
5. Air trapped

6. Clogging
7. Pipe resonance
8. NPSH
9. Worn parts (Bolts, Seals, Bearing, etc)
10.Mis Aligned
