SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR DRY VACUUM PUMPS

Please read the following safety information on this page before operating your vacuum pump.

Do not operate the pump without the belt guard properly attached. Disconnect the pump motor from the electrical supply at
the main disconnect before removing the belt guard. Replace the belt guard before reconnecting the power supply to the
pump motor. Operating the pump without the belt guard properly installed exposes personnel in the vicinity of the pump to
risk from rotating drive components.

Do not operate the pump with oxygen-enriched gas (greater than 21% by volume) in the suction line, unless the pump has
been prepared with an inert fluid suitable for the application and equipped with seal and start/stop purge system.
Pumping oxygen-enriched gases with mineral oil or other non-inert fluids and without proper purges can cause fire
or explosion in the pump, resulting in damage or serious bodily injury.

Take precautions to avoid prolonged or excessive exposure to oil mist or process materials emanating from the discharge of
the pump.

Do not allow the pump to discharge into a closed or inadequately ventilated room. Where process vapour contains
environmentally unfriendly chemical vapour, pump discharge must be connected to the properly sized scrubber system to
neutralize the harmful chemicals prior to the discharge to the atmosphere. Laws and ordinances may pertain to your local
area regarding discharge of oil mist, oil vapour, and chemical vapour to atmosphere. Check local laws and ordinances prior to
operation of the pump with discharge to outside atmosphere.

Do not restrict the pump discharge in any way, or place valves in the discharge line. The vacuum pump is a compressor and
will generate high pressures without stalling the motor when operated at low suction pressures. Excessive pressure could
cause damage or serious bodily injury.

Disconnect the pump motor from the electrical supply at the main disconnect before disassembling or servicing the pump.
Make sure pump is completely reassembled, the belt guard is properly installed, and that all fill and drain valves are installed
and closed before reconnecting the power supply. Accidental starting or operation of the pump while maintenance is in
progress could cause damage or serious bodily injury.

Lift pump only by the lifting lugs supplied with the pump. DO NOT lift equipment attached to pump by the pump lifting lugs.
Do not touch hot surfaces on the pump. In normal operation at low pressures, surface temperatures will not normally exceed
180 F (82 C). Prolonged operation at 200 Torr (267 mbar a) may cause surface temperatures as high as 220 F (104 C)

1.0) INTRODUCTION:

CONGRATULATIONS on purchase of your EVEREST Dry Screw Vacuum Pump from Everest Blower Systems. You may
please examine the pump for any shipping damage, and if any shipping damage is found report it immediately to the carrier. If
the pump is to be installed at a later date than purchased, please make sure that it is stored in a clean, dry location and rotated
periodically. If the pump is being stored outdoors, please ensure it is protected from weather and corrosion.

EVEREST ESP-HP series vacuum pumps are built to exacting standards and properly installed and maintained shall provide
many years of reliable service. We request you to take time to read and follow every step of these instructions when installing
and maintaining your pump. We have tried to make these instructions as simple as possible. We realize getting any new piece of
equipment up and running in as little time as possible is imperative to production.

WARNING: Serious injury can result from operating or repairing this machine without first reading the service manual
and taking adequate safety precautions.

IMPORTANT: Record the pump model and serial numbers in the OPERATING DATA form on the inside of the back cover of
this manual. You will save time and expense by including this reference identification on any replacement part orders, or if you
require service or application assistance.

This instruction manual describes instructions and precautions to be observed in the handling and maintenance of EVEREST
Dry Vacuum Pump. It is strongly recommended that those who operate or maintain the pump read this manual carefully prior to
pump operation, to ensure longevity of pump life.

PRINCIPAL OF OPERATION:

The EVEREST ESP-HP Dry Screw Vacuum Pump is a single stage, dry running, non-contact, type vacuum pump.

The design principle of the ESP is simple. Two parallel screws, having a highly sophisticated surface profile consisting of an
Archimedean and Quimby curve and an arc, rotate in opposite directions. Drive shaft rotation is Clock Wise (CW) when viewed
from the motor end (drive end) of the pump. Helical cut timing gears position these screws relative to each other.

The pumped gas is compressed into the discharged port by the rotation of the screws. A specific amount of clearance for each
pump size is maintained between the two screws and between screws and housing in order to avoid any metal to metal contact.
The power of the motor is transmitted to the main shaft through a coupling or belt pulley.

Because the EVEREST ESP-HP has a special pitch screw design, the compression process is more efficient and the pump
runs cooler.

For simplicity and space saving, the models ESP-HP -150 through ESP-HP -800 are provided as standard with flanged
adaptors for mounting a C-flange motor directly to the Vacuum Pump, eliminating the need for a separate base frame mounted
assembly and coupling guard for the vacuum pumps.

The power of the motor is transmitted to the drive screw shaft through a V-Pulley or a coupling, and further to the driven Screw
shaft through the timing gears.

1.0) CONSTRUCTION:

a. Timing Gear:
The timing gear is an important part of the screw vacuum pump. The tooth surface is heat cured, and polished with a
special high precision tooth-polishing machine for reduced noise during the pump operation.

b. Bearings:
The bearings on the fixed side of the ESP pump (discharge end) are angular contact ball bearings and on the
expansion side (inlet end) are roller bearings of heavy load capacity. These bearings have been selected to withstand
high speed and heavy load service and to assure the accurate clearances between gears and between screws.

c. Oil Level Gauge:

An oil level gauge (sight glass type) is located on the front end cover. Oil should be filled to the top level of the Upper
Mark.
WARNING: If the oil level is too low, gears, bearings and mechanical seals will be damaged as a result of
improper lubrication.

If the pump were operated with low oil level, the gears and bearings would seize by lack of lubrications. If the oil is
overfilled, the oil temperature would get elevated and cause high gear noise and may affect integrities of the other
parts within the DE (Drive End) Casing. When pump is not in use, be sure to check the oil level and oil contamination,
and then refill or change the oil when needed. The oil is splashed by rotation of the timing gears and lubricates the
Bearings and Mechanical Seals.

4.0) PIPING DIAGRAM:

The vacuum pump casing and the front end plate have an integrated cooling water jacket. The EVEREST ESP-HP series
pumps can be configured with two different types of cooling systems, Fresh Water Cooling and Re-Circulating Cooling.

A) FRESH WATER-COOLING:
The fresh water cooling system consists of a once through cooling water circuit. A flow indicator, flow switch on the cooling
water supply line and temperature gauge (or switch) at the cooling water discharge line should be installed to monitor the
adequacy of the cooling water flow and the cooling water discharge temperature. (Switch and Temp. gauge are optional)
The cooling water circuit is extended to the process exhaust silencer.

B) Re-Circulating Cooling:
This system is a water cooled version with a cooling water total recovery system. A centrifugal pump circulates the cooling water
from the ESP vacuum pump to a Heat Exchange unit. A flow indicator, flow switch on the cooling water supply line and
temperature gauge (or switch) at the cooling water discharge line should be installed to monitor the adequacy of the cooling
water flow and the cooling water discharge temperature.

8
5.0) PURGES:
Cooling Purge Cooling Purge is to cool the inside of the casing and the screws. During the operation of the pump, the
process gas introduced into the casing through the suction nozzle is compressed by the rotation of the screws and transferred to
the discharge side. Temperature of the process gas gets increased by the heat of compression and this heat energy should be
removed in order to prevent the pump from seizure.

Normally this purge is done by atmospheric air. Where the process gas is not compatible with the atmospheric air, a different
cooling medium should be used, such as, Nitrogen, CDA (Clean Dry Air) etc. For a standard pump, an air filter is provided near
the discharge side of the casing.
Notes:

Cooling Purge: is not required for EVEREST ESP-HP 150.
Flow rates: shown below should be applied when the end-user decides to supply Cooling Purge to the pump.
Purge Pressure: Atmospheric pressure for process inlet pressure (operating pressure) 150 Torr or below, and 0.5
kg/cm2g (7.11 psi (g)) minimum for process inlet pressure (operating pressure) 150 Torr or higher.
Flow Rates: Cooling purge flow rate can vary depending on the process inlet pressure (operating pressure) and
the discharge gas temperature.

Cooling Purge ESP-P150 ESP-P-300 ESP-P-400 ESP-P-800

SLPM 30 40 40 60

Seal Purge Depending on the application, SDV pump may require Seal Purges. If Seal Purge is specified on your system,
it is intended to provide a pressurized barrier within the Front End Plate (FEP) and/or Rear End Plate (REP) with gas which
should be compatible with the process gas and the lubrication oil/grease or inert gas such as Nitrogen or Argon, so that the
contamination of the lubrication oil and/or the grease within the Front End Cover (FEC) and/or the Rear End Plate (REP) is
prevented.
Drive End (DE) Seal Purge should be connected to two purge connection nozzles on the Front End Cover. Non Drive End
(NDE) Seal Purge should be connected to two purge connection nozzles on the Rear End Plate (REP). (For ESP-P-150, theres
only one Non Drive End (NDE) Seal Purge connection nozzle.) Both Drive End (DE) and Non Drive End (NDE) Seal Purges can
be branched from a single source of purge gas supply.
Seal Purge pressure should be below 1.0 kg/cm2g (14.2 psig). Leak rate of the mechanical seals is below 3 cc/hr (5.3 x 10-6
CFM) and they can sustain pressure up to 3 kg/cm2g (42.7 psig).

Please note that EVEREST does not recommend NDE (Non Drive End) Seal Purge unless it is absolutely required. Providing
NDE (Non Drive End) Seal Purge slightly increases the inlet pressure due to the additional mass flow into the pump. Please
consult factory for further assistance if you require seal purges.
Notes:
Start/Stop (Cleaning) Purges should last for 20 to 30 minutes with the process isolation valve closed, prior to the
start of the process operation and immediately after the completion of the process operation.

Start/Stop (Cleaning) Purges Start/Stop (Cleaning) Purge is to remove residual process gas or any incompatible

substances such as moisture, atmospheric air etc. from the inside of the pump prior to or after the pump operations. Start/Stop
(Cleaning) Purge should be done with gas which is compatible with the process gas or inert gas such as Nitrogen or Argon. This
Start/Stop (Cleaning) Purge is especially important when pumping corrosive gases, toxic gases or polymeric process materials
such as film resin etc.

Start (Cleaning) Purge: With the inlet process isolation valve of the pump closed, operate the pump with purge gas to

the Pump for 20 to 30 minutes to remove any undesired residual gases from the pumps internal. The inlet process isolation
valve should be open to start process pumping operation upon completion of the Start (Cleaning) Purge.
Notes:
Start/Stop (Cleaning) Purges should last for 20 to 30 minutes with the process isolation valve closed, prior to the
start of the process operation and immediately after the completion of the process operation.
Purge Pressure: 1.5 kg/cm2g (21.3 psig) Max.
Flow Rates: Standard Litters per minute.(splm)

6.0) STEAM FLUSING :

A) STEAM FLUSHING:

The EVEREST ESP-HP pump should be operated for 10 to 20 minutes upon completion of process batch cycle with
the process isolation valve closed where theres no Start/Stop (Cleaning) Purge system and sequence in place. This
duration of dry operation without process load is to remove any residual process gas or condensed process vapours
from the inside of the pump that may have accumulated during the process operation. These residual process
materials could be a source of pump motor overload when the pump is re-started. If this residual process material has
not been removed by the dry operation after the process operation and the pump is re-started the residual process
material inside of the pump could cause a pump seizure by excessive frictional load to the motor or damage the screws
and/or the casing.
In such case theres enough amount of the residual process material build-up within the pump, the pump internal
should be cleaned out. Steam Flushing is one way to clean the residual process material build-up from the pump
internal. When there is enough residual process material build-up, please ensure that the pump is not forced to
rotate by the motor. Especially for the processes that have a high potential for build-up and are aggressive in
nature, such as, processes with Oligomer, Monomer, Polymer, Resin, etc; should be cleaned out regularly by
Steam Flushing.

i) Steam pressure: Approximately 1 kg/cm2g (14.22 psig)

ii) System Isolation: Disconnect all electrical and control powers and place lockout tags on the MCC and/or Control
Panel to ensure no one accidentally starts the pump during the Steam Flushing. The process isolation valve should
be closed. Discharge valve (if applicable) and silencer drain valve should be open.

iii) Inject steam for 10 to 20 minutes through the pumps process inlet (suction) nozzle or one of the nozzles located at
the side of the pumps process inlet (suction) nozzle. Injection time can be varied based on the types and amount of
residual process material built-up within the pump.

iv) Rotate the pump shaft by HAND to check whether the pump rotates without much friction or not.

10
 v) If the pump rotates smoothly by hand rotation, stop the steam injection and start the pump motor with process
isolation valve closed.

vi) If the pump does not rotate smoothly by hand rotation, repeat steps 3 and 4 until the pump rotates smoothly by
hand. Depending on the severity of the residual process material build-up, it may require repeating steps 3 and 4
several times.

B) Steam Flushing Method (After Pump Operation)

a. Process materials that require Steam flushing: Oligomer, Monomer, Polymer, Resin, etc.

b. Steam pressure: approx. 1 Kg/cm2g (14.22 psig)

c. Flushing Procedure: Close Suction valve, Open discharge valve or Silencer/Separators Drain valve

d. Inject Steam for 10 to 20 minutes (the injection time varies with the process material being removed) through pump
suction line or through a plug in suction flange

e. Try to rotate the pump shaft (Pulley or Coupling) by hand to see whether the pump rotates smoothly (during this time,
be careful not to start the motor and observe all lock out/tag out procedures).

f. If the pump rotates smoothly, stop injecting steam.

g. Then, start the motor and check if the pump runs normally.

h. If pump does not turn after performing this procedure, it may be necessary to repeat this procedure 2 to 3 times. If still
no result is achieved please consult factory.

NOTES:
PURGE PRESSURE: 0.5 to 1.5 kg/cm2 (7.1 to 21.3 psig).

Flow rates listed are Minimum.

FLUSHING PURGE should last for 30 minutes with the pump suction valve closed, after process operation is ended.

All PURGE work except for flushing should be done at the same time as the process starts up.

Sealing purge at NON-DRIVE END can vary a little according to the type of process and operating condition.

The COOLING PURGE amount can vary with the vacuum level.

11
7.0) HANDLING PROCEDURE
A) Assembly of Piping:

Location:

a. The pump should be mounted on a base frame with sufficient rigidity and placed on a flat and level surface.

b. If it is to be installed outdoors, please ensure the motor, painting, peripheral equipment, and parts, etc. are suitable for
the outdoor operations in case it is planned that the pump be installed outdoors.

c. There should be enough space around the pump to allow for safe maintenance work and periodic inspections.

Foundation:

a. Foundation for the pump assembly and its base frame should be flat, levelled, and have adequate load bearing
capacity. (Foundation drawings can be made available in case required.)

b. Pump and its base frame, peripheral equipment and piping should be installed when the foundation concrete has been
cured.

Installation:

a. EVEREST ESP-HP pumps should always be operated in a horizontal and level position.
EVEREST ESP-HP

pumps should never be installed in an upright (vertical) or angled position, and should be installed on a rigid base
frame.

b. Pump assembly with the base frame should be placed on a foundation and should be supported evenly. Metal shims
should be inserted between the base frame and the foundation, if required for levelling. Pump assembly with the base
frame should be levelled to within 0.5 mm (0.02) in any 1 meter (3.28 ft.)

c. Use adequately sized anchor bolts.

d. Upon completion of the setting of the pump assembly on the foundation and anchor bolts, the base frame should be
adequately grouted prior to tightening the anchor bolt nuts. Anchor bolt nuts should be tightened after the grout is firmly
cured. Anchor bolts should be tightened evenly to ensure the previously set level is not changed.

B) Piping Work:

Main Piping:

a. Process piping internals should be clean and free from rust, dust, foreign materials, weld slags etc.

b. A 40-mesh strainer supplied along with the EVEREST ESP-HP pump should be placed at the pump process inlet
nozzle. After initial start-up and continued operation of the pump for several hours, disassemble the process inlet piping
from the pump and check the strainer for cleanliness. If there are any particulates strained such as weld slags etc,
clean the mesh strainer and replace to the pump process inlet nozzle. It is highly recommended to check this
strainer regularly for its integrity and cleanness.

c. It is required to install expansion joints on the suction side of the pump as well as the discharge side of the pump.
12
 These expansion joints are to prevent direct application of any excessive load (primary and secondary load) to the
pump assembly from the process piping structures. Process piping must be supported and guided such that the pump
assembly is relatively free from any excessive load imposed from the process piping structures.

d. Where process exhaust silencer is provided, it should be installed on or as near to the pump discharge nozzle as
possible.

e. A check valve should be installed as close to the process inlet nozzle as possible, which is used to isolate the
pump from the process during the pump shut down. The pump will turn in reverse direction if check valve is not present
at the process inlet nozzle by the pressure differentials. Where a check valve installation is not permitted for any
reason, a process isolation valve, such as a gate valve, should be installed. However, operational procedures must
include a pump shut down procedure that includes closure of this process isolation valve prior to pump shut down. It is
highly recommended to install a process inlet isolation valve whether a process inlet check valve is installed or not.

f. Where the process gas contains high condensable vapours, a condensate recovery tank should be installed. The tank
should be designed to collect the condensates and disposed or drained, as it required.

Cooling Water Piping:

EVEREST ESP-HP pumps are equipped with an integrated cooling liquid jackets. A cooling medium, typically water,
must be supplied to the cooling liquid supply nozzle located at the FEC (Front End Plate) which will be circulated to the
pump Casing and discharged from the discharge nozzle located on the Casing. Where water-jacketed discharge silencer
or after cooler is supplied with the pump, the silencer or after cooler should also receive the cooling liquid as well. A
single loop cooling liquid supply line can by employed by installing piping between the cooling liquid discharge nozzle at
the pump Casing to the cooling liquid supply connection nozzle on the silencer or the after cooler. Cooling medium
supply piping should include the instruments listed below:
Note: If a Water Jacket type Silencer or After Cooler is installed, this Silencer / After Cooler also require cooling
water piping.

Cooling Liquid Supply Line:

 Manual isolation valve

 Strainer

 Pressure gauge with an isolation valve. (Optional)

 Liquid flow meter. (Optional)

 Liquid flow switch (Or, combined cooling liquid flow meter/switch) (Optional)

 On/Off solenoid valve.(Optional)

 Flow regulating valve. (Optional)

 Temperature gauge. (Optional)

Cooling Liquid Discharge Line

 Temperature gauge. (Optional)

13
8.0) OPERATION:

A) Preparation for Operation

a. Ensure the pump internal and process piping is thoroughly cleaned and free from weld slags, metal chips, particulates,
rusts, dusts etc.

b. Ensure all the process piping connections and utility piping connections are properly installed / tightened and
supported.

c. Ensure the lubrication oil at the Drive End oil reservoir of the pump is filled up to the top level of RED Mark or OL Mark
while the pump is NOT in operation.

d. Adjust and set the cooling liquid flow rate listed on the ESP Technical Data table.

e. Ensure the electrical power connection to the motor or electrical/control panel is completed and is ready to supply
power to the motor.
NOTE: Remember that the right oil level is crucial for the pump performance. If the pump were operated with
Low oil level, the gears and bearings would seize by lack of lubrications. If the oil is overfilled, the oil temperature gets
elevated and would cause high gear noise and may affect integrity of the other parts within the DE (Drive End) casing.

Warning
Pre-warm up pump until temperature reaches to normal operating temperature and carry out Maximum
gas inlet purge before pumping condensate. Otherwise steam can be condensed and damage or rust
pump.

B) Operation:

a. Ensure the direction of the pump rotation is correct; CW (Clockwise) direction, looking from the motor. A pump
rotational direction check can be done by jogging the pump a brief moment while checking the rotational direction of
the motor fan. If the motor rotates CCW (Counter-Clockwise), correct the power cable connections and check the
rotational direction again to ensure the pump rotates in correct CW direction. Pump rotational direction check should be
done with the process inlet isolation valve open.

b. With the process inlet isolation valve open, operate the pump for 20 to 30 minutes. At this stage, all pump operating
parameters should be checked for any abnormality; such as excessive vibration, high oil/grease temperatures, high
cooling liquid discharge temperature, high process discharge temperature noise, over current draw etc. In case of
observation of any abnormality, stop the pump and investigate for the cause of the abnormality. Typical causes of
abnormalities come from improper lubrication and/or improper installation of the pump.

c. Upon completion of the above step, operate the pump for 2 to 3 hours under normal process load condition and check
the pump operating parameters again.

d. If an abnormality is found during the initial operation with normal process load, shutdown the pump immediately and
ensure the problem is corrected prior to re-start-up of the pump.

e. Pump operating conditions should be within the limits shown on the Specifications Table on page 7.

a. Max. Process Inlet Temperature

b. Process Discharge Temperature

c. Oil Temperature

14
 d. Grease Temperature

f. Cooling Medium Differential Temperature is determined by subtracting the Supply temperature from the Discharge
temperature. For water, differential temperature must be within 10C.

g. Observe other operating conditions as well, such as: noise, vibration, and motor current (amps).

Warning
Warm up pump and carry out maximum purge to gas inlet. Otherwise pump can be damaged or corroded
by condensed water vapour accumulated inside the pump

C) Pump Shutdown:

a. Prior to disconnection of the motor power, ensure to close the process inlet isolation valve.

b. Where the process gas or vapour is in corrosive or hazardous nature, introduce inert gas, such as Nitrogen or Argon,
into the pump inlet for 20 to 30 minutes to purge out the residual process gas or vapour from the pump internals prior to
disconnecting the motor power. Please see Start/Stop (Clean) Purge section for more information.

c. Shutdown the pump.

d. Shut off the cooling liquid supply.

If the pump needs to be shut down for a long period of time when freezing weather is expected, and water is used as a
cooling liquid, the pump cooling jacket should be drained through the cooling jacket nozzles.

9.0) LUBRICATION:

Lubricants for ESP pumps must be a GEAR & BEARING OIL GREASE

15
10.0) MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION:

A) General:

a. During normal operation, the temperature in the pump will increase in homogeneous matter as a result of
compression work done on the process gas or vapour. It is abnormal if the temperature rise is localized in the pump
and/or the external painting becomes scorched, however, the localized hot spots are typically due to the inadequate
cooling liquid supply or cooling liquid cut-off, interference of the screws with casing, or pump has ingested foreign
material, such as sold particulates, metal chips, process material build up etc. If a localized hot spot is observed,
the pump must be shut down immediately for inspection. In some cases, the screws and the casing may have
become corroded. This corrosion will cause the clearance between the screws and casings to increase and
increase the slip (internal reverse flow: flow of gas from the pump discharge to the suction). The pumping capacity
of the pump is then decreased. In this case, the pump must be shut down and clearances must be measured and
verified in order to determine required corrective actions.

b. Most of pump abnormalities can be noted by routine checks of bearing temperatures, vibration and noise etc.
Daily inspection of the pump is highly recommended as a preventative maintenance.

c. Interference between the pump screws or between the screws and the casing can be detected by listening
through stethoscope on the pump casing.

d. Whenever the pump is stopped, completely drain the cooling liquid if the pump is located in a cold region or in the
winter to prevent freezing of the cooling liquid.

B) Periodic Inspection Schedule:

I) Daily:

a. Check the electrical current load on the motor (Amps): An increase in the motor current load indicates abnormality
of the pump operation.
b. Check whether pump rotates smoothly and in correct direction (CW).

c. Check process inlet and discharge pressures.

d. Check for the pump for any excessive noise and vibrations.

e. Check NDE (Non Drive End) grease cover temperature.

f. Check DE (Drive End), oil reservoir cover temperature.

g. Check for any sign of cooling liquid leakage.

h. Check oil level. High or low oil level can damage gears and bearings.

i. Check for any sign of external oil leakage.

j. Check cooling liquid supply flow rate and pressure.

16
II) Monthly:

a. Check the oil colour: If the oil colour is too dark, replace the oil.

b. Check oil level: If the oil level drops in a short period of time, check the integrity of mechanical seals.

c. Check grease.

III) Quarterly:

a. Check the cooling liquid flow and discharge cooling liquid colour. May require periodic cleaning of the cooling
jackets and water piping.

b. Replace grease at NDE (Non Drive End).

IV) Every 6 Months:

a. Check all process and utility piping and their supports.

V) Yearly

a. Check the pump internal surfaces, casing and screws surfaces for any sign of rust and flaws.

b. Check all mechanical seals and lip seals

system and fix blind flange to pump suction line.

b. Pour suitable solvent slowly into suction flush port. Wait about few minutes until that pump is full of solvent.

c. Repeat previous steps until pump cannot get more solvent. Leave the pump at least one hour until that precipitate
can act enough with solvent.

d. Insert chain wrench into running device hub. Then, rotate pump to clockwise

e. If you cannot rotate it, keep step four. (Leave pump more with solvent).
f. If you can rotate it, keep going to next step.

g. Put suitable container under the pump exhaust then remove the blind flange.

h. Rotate pump three or four times completely by chain wrench. It is possible that pump cant rotate due to pressure
lock of pump.

i. If necessary, repeat from step 5) to step 6).

j. Separate blind flange in pump suction line. Then, reconnect pump suction line to process system or open the
suction valve.

k. Reconnect pump discharge line to discharge port.

11.0) MAINTAINANCE AND REPAIR:
A) General:

The operating temperature in the pump will increase by the compression work done on the process product. However, if
the temperature increase locally and/or the external painting become scorched, this indicates a faulty symptom of the
pump. The localized hot spot are typically due to the poor cooling water supply or cooling water cut off, interference of
screws with casing, or foreign material ingestion, such as process material built-up, metal chips, solid particulates. In this
case, shut down the pump immediately for inspection. In certain cases, the screws and the casing may have been
corroded. This corrosion induces to increase the clearance between the screws and casing. This will increase the
reversal flow of gas from the pump discharge to the suction, and the pumping capacity is decreased. In this case, shut
down pump and inspect the clearance to determine the required corrective actions. Request for appropriate technical
support to your pump supplier or manufacturer.

1) Unusual bearing temperature, vibration or noise can be detected by routine inspection. Thus, daily routine
inspection of the pump is highly recommended.

2) Abnormal interference between screws or between screw and casing can be detected by using the
stethoscope.

3) If the pump is located in a cold region or in the winter, whenever the pump is stopped, drain cooling water
completely to prevent freezing of the cooling water.
