lation, direct--coupled (see appendix). Installation
All structural work required must have been prepared in accor-
dance with the dimensions and loads stated in the dimension
table / installation plan.
The concrete foundations shall have sufficient strength
(min. BN 25) to ensure safe and functional installation in
accordance with DIN 1045 or equivalent standards.
Make sure that the concrete foundation has set firmly before
placing the unit on it. Its surface shall be truly horizontal and
even.

5.3 Installing the Pump / Unit
Caution Before setting up the pump, check the
operating data. Ensure that the data on the
name plate matches the data in the order and the system data,
e.g. operating voltage, frequency, pumped liquid temperature
etc.
After placing the pump on the foundation, align it with the help
of a spirit level. Shims shall be fitted between the baseplate and
the foundation itself; they shall always be inserted to the left and
right of the foundation bolts and in close proximity to these
bolts. For a bolt--to--bolt clearance of more than 1000 mm, addi-
tional shims shall be inserted halfway between the adjoining
holes. All shims must lie perfectly flush.

Fig.5: Fitting required shims
Insert the foundation bolts and set them into the foundation
using concrete. When the concrete has set, align the baseplate
as described in section 5.3.2 and tighten the foundation bolts
evenly and firmly. Then grout the baseplate using low shrinkage
concrete, making sure no cavities remain.
5.3.1 Removing Rotor Lock
This is not necessary for a horizontally installed pump, since no
locking device is fitted.
5.3.2 Aligning the Pump / Drive
Improper alignment of the unit can cause damage to
both the coupling and the unit itself!
A pump set in horizontal installation type 3E is correctly aligned,
if a straight--edge placed axially on both coupling halves is the
same distance from each shaft at all points around the circum-
ference. In addition, the distance between the two coupling hal-
ves must remain the same all around the circumference. Use
a feeler gauge, a wedge gauge or a dial micrometer to verify
(see fig. 6).

5.4 Connecting the Piping
Caution Never use the pump itself as an anchorage
point for the piping.
Suction lift lines shall be laid with a rising slope towards the
pump and suction head lines with a downward slope towards
the pump. The pipelines shall be anchored in close proximity to
the pump and connected without transmitting any stresses or
strains. Their weight must not exert any load on the pump. With
short pipelines, the nominal diameters shall be at least equal to
the nominal diameters of the pump nozzles. For long pipelines
the most economical nominal diameter has to be determined
from case to case.
Any additional loads on the discharge and suction nozz-
les, e.g. caused by:
Weight of the water--filled pipes, changes in the length of pipes
owing to temperature fluctuations, reaction forces due to unbra-
ced expansion joints must not exceed the values stated in the
installation plan.
An excessive, impermissible increase in the pipeline
forces may cause leaks on the pump where the medium
handled can escape into the atmosphere.
Danger of life when hot media are handled!
The flange covers on the pump suction and discharge nozzles
must be removed prior to installation in the piping.
5.4.1 Auxiliary Connections
The locations of the auxiliary connections (sealing liquid, flus-
hing liquid, etc.) are indicated on the installation plan or piping
layout (see appendix).
Please refer to the appendix for detailed assembly instructions.
Caution These connections are required for proper
functioning of the pump and are therefore of
vital importance!
5.4.2 Coupling Guard
In compliance with the accident prevention regulations
the pump must not be operated without a coupling
guard. If the customer specifically requests not to include a cou-
pling guard in our delivery, then the operator must supply one.
5.5 Final Check
Re--check the alignment as described in section 5.3.2.
It must be easy to rotate the shaft by hand at the coupling.
Caution Check the integrity and proper functioning of all
connections.

For commissioning the shaft seal please refer to section 8.1 /
8.2. If the pump has been out of service for a prolonged period,
the measures specified in section 6.6 must be carried out.
6.3 Venting
Before start--up, the pump and the pipes must be vented and
filled with the liquid to be pumped. This is done at the vent plug
on the casing (903). For suction lift operation, the pump must
also be evacuated, i.e. a vacuum must be produced.
6.4 Commissioning
6.4.1 Checking the Direction of Rotation
Caution For trouble--free operation of the pump, the
correct direction of rotation of the impeller is of
paramount importance.
If running in the wrong direction of rotation, the pump cannot re-
ach its duty point; vibrations and overheating will be the conse-
quence. The unit or the shaft seal might be damaged.
Omega
Correct direction of rotation:
The direction of rotation must correspond to the direction indi-
cated by the arrow on the pump. This can be verified by swit-
ching the pump on and then off again immediately.
Before checking the direction of rotation make sure that
there is no foreign matter in the pump casing.
Never put your hands or any other objects into the pump!
6.4.2 Start--up
If a non--return valve is not fitted at the di--
Caution scharge--side, close the discharge--side
gate valve.
If a shut--off valve is fitted in the suction line, open it fully.
All additional connections for flushing or sealing liquid etc., if fit-
ted, must be opened fully and the flow must be checked.
Switch on the motor.
As soon as the pump starts to deliver -- this can be recognised
by the rising gauge pressure -- slowly open the discharge--side
gate valve fully.
The pump may operate against the closed gate
Caution
valve only during start--up and shutdown, as
otherwise inadmissible temperature rise occurs resulting in
damage.
6.4.3 Pump Operating Range
The flow rate Q adjusts itself automatically to the delivery
head according to the H--Q characteristic. The pumps permit-
ted operating range is subject to limits, which have separate
causes.
1. Part load operating limit for low flow rate
This limit is indicated in the H--Q characteristic by Qmin or by the
discontinuation of the characteristic curve.
Caution It is not permissible to operate the pump in the
range from Q=0 to Qmin. Prolonged operation
in this range causes greatly increased mechanical loads which
the components cannot withstand.
Brief passage through the critical range is permissible, e.g. du-
ring start--up
2. NPSH--related limits in the part load and overload ranges
These two limits are determined by the ratio of NPSHrequired to
NPSHavailable. They are determined as follows:
9

The intersections of NPSHrequired and NPSHavailable are pro-
jected onto the H--Q characteristic, where they indicate the ope-
rating limits (refer to the diagram below). Checking of the
NPSH--related operating limit is not necessary for operating the
pump under design conditions. If system--related changes oc-
cur, an NPSH check must be carried out. If necessary, consult
the nearest after--sales service centre.
Qmin
NPSHrequired
NPSHavailable
6.4.4 Shutdown
Close the shut--off element in the discharge line. If the di-
scharge line is equipped with a check valve, the shut--off ele-
ment may remain open, provided there is back pressure in the
line.
The shut--off element in the suction line must not be clo-
sed when switching off the pump. Switch off the motor,
making sure that the unit runs smoothly down to a standstill.
Depending on the system the pump shall have an adequate af-
ter--run period -- with the heat source switched off -- to allow the
medium handled to cool down sufficiently to avoid any heat
build--up within the pump.
In the case of prolonged shutdown, the shut--off element in the
suction line has to be closed.
Close the auxiliary connections.
In the event of frost and / or prolonged shutdowns, the pump
must be drained or otherwise protected against freezing.
6.5 Shutdown / Storage / Preservation
Each KSB pump leaves the factory carefully assembled. If com-
missioning is to take place some time after delivery, we recom-
mend that the following measures be taken for pump storage.
6.5.1 Storage of New Pumps
New pumps are supplied by our factory duly prepared for
storage.
Maximum protection for up to 12 months, if the pump is pro-
perly stored indoors.
Store the pump in a dry location.
10
Omega
6.5.2 Measures to be Taken for Prolonged Shutdown
1. The pump remains installed; periodic check of opera-
tion
In order to make sure that the pump is always ready for instant
start--up and to prevent the formation of deposits within the
pump and the pump intake area, start up the pump set regularly
once a month or once every 3 month for a short time (approx.
5 minutes) during prolonged shutdown periods. Prior to an ope-
ration check run ensure that there is sufficient liquid available
for operating the pump.
2. The pump is removed from the pipe and stored
Before putting the pump into storage carry out all checks speci-
fied in sections 7.1 to 7.4. Then apply appropriate preservati-
ves:
Spray--coat the inside wall of the pump casing, and in parti-
cular the impeller clearance areas, with a preservative.
Spray the preservative through the suction and discharge
nozzles. It is advisable to close the nozzles (for ex. with pla-
stic caps or similar).
6.6 Returning to Service after Storage
Before returning the pump to service carry out all checks and
maintenance work specified in sections 5.1 and 5.2.
In addition, the instructions laid down in section 6.1
Commissioning and section 6.4.3 Operating limits
must be observed.
Upon completion of the work, all safety--related and pro-
tective equipment must be properly refitted and / or re-
activated before starting the pump set.
7 Maintenance / Repair
7.1 General Instructions
The operator is responsible for ensuring that all maintenance,
inspection and installation work is carried out by authorized,
duly qualified staff who are thouroughly familiar with these ope-
rating instructions.
A regular maintenance schedule will help avoid expensive re-
pairs and contribute to trouble--free, reliable operation of the
pump with a minimum of maintenance expenditure and work.
Work on the pump and the motor must only be car-
ried out with the electrical connections disconnec-
ted. Make sure that the pump set cannot be switched on ac-
cidentally (danger of life!).
Pumps handling liquids posing health hazards must be
decontaminated. When draining the medium see to it
that there is no risk to persons or the environment. All relevant
laws must be adhered to (danger of life!).

7.2 Maintenance / Inspection
7.2.1 Supervision of Operation
The pump shall run quietly and free from
Caution
vibrations at all times. The pump must never be
allowed to run dry.
Prolonged operation against a closed shut--off element
is not permitted in order to prevent the medium handled
from heating up.
At room temperatures of up to 30 _C (86 _F) the bearing tempe-
rature shall be below 90 _C (194 _F). At higher room tempera-
tures, the bearing temperature shall be below 100 _C (212 _F).
During pump operation the shut--off element in the inlet
line must not be closed.
Any stand--by pumps installed shall be switched on and then
immediately off again once a week to keep them operational.
Attention shall be paid to the correct functioning of the auxiliary
connections.
If the flexible coupling elements begin to show
Caution
signs of wear, they must be replaced in due
time. See section Coupling.
If an external supply of sealing, flushing or lubricating liquid is
used, make sure supply pressure is 1.0 to 2.0 bar higher than
pressure at the suction nozzle.
On pumps fitted with a gland packing the packing must drip
slightly during operation. The gland cover should therefore only
be gently tightened. (See section 8 Special instructions for
subassemblies, shaft seal variants).
7.2.2 Shaft Seal Maintenance
For required maintenance work on gland packings please refer
to section 8.1. Shaft seal. Mechanical seals are mainte-
nance--free.
7.2.3 Bearing Maintenance
The bearings are maintenance--free and greased for life. No
re--lubrication is required.
7.3 Dismantling
Before dismantling, secure the pump so as to make sure
it cannot be switched on accidentally. The shut--off ele-
ments in the suction and discharge lines must be closed. The
pump must have cooled down to ambient temperature, pump
pressure must be released and the pump must be drained.
Dismantling and reassembly must always be carried out in ac-
cordance with the relevant sectional drawing.
7.3.1 Fundamental Instructions and
Recommendations
Repair and maintenance work to the pump must only be carried
out by specially trained personnel, using original spare parts.
Observe the safety regulations laid down. Any work on the mo-
tor shall be governed by the specifications and regulations of
the respective motor supplier.
Omega
Dismantling and reassembly must always be carried out in ac-
cordance with the relevant general drawing. The general dra-
wing and other relevant documents are found in the annex. The
dismantling sequence can be derived from the general dra-
wing.
In case of damage you can always contact our nearest custo-
mer service centre.
7.3.2 Preparations for Dismantling
The pump is designed so that the complete rotor can be remo-
ved in the sequence described below without removing the suc-
tion or discharge pipe or disturbing the alignment of the pump
unit:
Close the suction and discharge--side gate valves and drain
the pump by opening the drain plug (903.01 bottom) and
vent plug (903.01 top).
Remove any pipes between additional equipment and the
pump.
Remove the coupling guard. Decouple pump--side coupling
half as described in the appendix.
Loosen and push back the seal cover (471), if a mechanical
seal is fitted.
Undo the flange screws (901.01 / 901.02) and separate the
upper casing half (105.02) from the lower casing half
(105.01) with the aid of the forcing screws. Remove with lif-
ting gear. The interior of the pump (impeller with casing
wear rings, shaft seal) is now accessible for inspection.
Remove the screwed connection (901.04) between bearing
housing (350.01) and bearing brackets. Also undo the nuts
(920.05) and bolts (901.07) which secure the bearing cover
(360).
Press the bearing housing out of the recesses and lift the
rotor out of the lower casing half. For further disassembly,
place securely in horizontal position.
Pull off the bearing housing of the fixed bearing (opposite
the drive end).
Undo and remove the keywayed nuts (920.03).
Remove the deep--groove ball bearing (312) with bush
(520) from the shaft.

O--rings and V--rings must be replaced and their seats on the
shaft must be cleaned. In addition, all the sealing elements
must be fitted into the respective components before installa-
tion.
For assembling the rotor, position the pump shaft (211) secu-
rely. All fits, threads and sliding fits of the shaft must be cleaned
and coated with assembly paste.
Insert the keys required for assembly into the pump shaft (211).
Mount the impeller (234), which has a sliding fit. When fitting the
impeller, observe the direction of rotation (see diagram below).
For assembling the casing wear rings (502), observe section
7.5.2 Replacing the casing wear rings.
Put the casing wear rings onto the running surfaces of the im-
peller. Ensure that the bezels of the rings are on the outside (to-
wards the bearing). Insert the pins required for fixing the casing
wear rings.
The remaining components are fitted first on the movable bea-
ring side (i.e. the drive side) of the pump shaft.
Push the shaft protecting sleeve (524.01) onto the pump shaft
(211). Ensure that the groove provided engages in the key of
the impeller.

8 Special Instructions for Also note the following:

Subassemblies (Shaft Seal Variants)
The shaft seal variant supplied is shown in the purchase order
and order--processing documents.
8.1 Gland packing
The gland packings used by KSB are asbestos--free and suita-
ble for drinking water applications.
Installation and commissioning
Before installation, ensure that the gland space is clean (no
packing remnants or corrosion). The shaft protecting sleeve
must be bright and have no scoring. Otherwise a new shaft pro-
tecting sleeve must be used.
Cutting the packing rings to size
If moulded packing rings are not available, the rings can best
be cut to size using a special cutting gauge. If no cutting gauge
is available, take a tube with the same diameter as the shaft,
wind the packing around the tube in a spiral and cut the rings
from the spiral. We recommend a straight cut.
Leakage and temperature rise: If necessary, shut down the
pump. After a short cooling period (approx. 10 to 15 minutes)
the pump can be restarted. The necessary minimum leakage
depends on the liquid being pumped, the pressure, sliding velo-
city and temperature. It is approx. 10 to 120 drops per minute
(20 drops of water correspond to approx. 1 ml).
Disassembly
A packing puller must be used for pulling out the packing rings.
Maintenance
Gland packings must be repacked in accordance with the sec-
tion Installation and commissioning after prolonged stand-
still, repair work or heavy leakage. Therefore, the leakage rate
must be observed during operation, also to avoid possible over-
heating.

Installing the packing rings

Push the packing rings with the stuffing box insert into the gland
space one by one. The joints of the packing rings must be offset
by 90_. The number of rings and the arrangement of the lantern
ring are shown in the general drawing (see appendix). After fit-
ting all the packing rings, put on the stuffing box insert and gland
cover and tighten them so that the packing rings adapt to the
gland space. Then loosen the gland cover again to relieve the
load on the packing. This procedure is not necessary if moulded
packing rings are used.

Commissioning
When the pump is started up, the gland must only be gently tigh-
tened (by hand). A high leakage rate (approx. 50 to 200 drops
per minute), depending on the liquid being pumped, must be ac-
cepted until the packing material has settled and has adapted
to the temperature conditions (approx. 10 to 15 minutes).
Then the gland cover must be carefully and evenly tightened to
reduce the leakage to a minimum. If there is no leakage, there
is a risk that the packing will run hot.

8.2.1 Mechanical Seal Type H7N4

(Shaft unit dw 40 to 80 mm)
The mechanical seal type H 7 N 4 used is a single--acting, bi--ro-
tational, non--balanced seal which does not require circulation
pipework in cold water applications, due to the pump design.
Caution Dry--running of the seal must be avoided at
all costs!

Installation
For the installation of the total seal assembly (mechanical seal,
seal housing) see operating instructions for the pump.

The shaft protection sleeves and also the surfaces of the casing
are subjected to accurate finishing processes with regard to the
O--ring seats, in order to achieve a complete and reliable seal.
Care must be taken during installation to keep these parts ab-
solutely clean, to avoid the surfaces from being damaged and
prevent entry of foreign particles.

Cover the contact face with a cardboard washer and press
the seat ring into its position slowly and evenly, lubricating
it with a generous amount of water or alcohol. Use a spacer
sleeve, if necessary. Verify that the seat ring position is nor-
mal to the shaft axis.
In the mechanical seal area, the shaft shall be slightly lubri-
cated with water, alcohol or silicone grease. Sealing ele-
ments made of EP rubber must never come into contact
with mineral oil base lubricants (swelling, possibly de-
composition).

Commissioning
Flood the pump and the seal chamber with the medium to be
handled and vent carefully. The seal is operational now.
On single--acting mechanical seals, the pressure in the seal
chamber of the pump (stuffing box) must always exceed am-
bient pressure, to prevent any air intake at the seal faces,
which would result in dry running and thus failure of the me-
chanical seal.
In all operating conditions, the product to be sealed off must
be available in liquid state at the mechanical seal, particularly
during pump start--up and shutdown. This must be ensured by
appropriate facilities on the pump (e.g. heating).
Should the mechanical seal fail, the liquid to be sealed off may
spurt out. Take suitable precautions to prevent hazards to per-
sons and the environment, e.g. install splash guards, wear sa-
fety goggles, etc. Proper disposal of leakage shall be arran-
ged for and supervised by the operator.
Maintenance
Mechanical seals operated in compliance with the manual
are maintenance--free in their entire service life.
The mechanical seal should be inspected in accordance with
the plant inspection schedule.
During planned plant outage periods the spring--loaded rings
and the seat rings should be checked for visible damage in in-
stalled condition.
If the mechanical seal is inspected during plant outage, the con-
tact faces should be re--worked.
Dismantling
For dismantling of the mechanical seal assembly please refer
to section 7.3 Dismantling. Grub screws (7) and joint rings
(2+9) shall be replaced whenever the mechanical seal has
been dismantled!
Repair
If the seal needs to be repaired, always return the complete
seal to the manufacturer. The manufacturer will know best
which parts can be re--worked and which parts have to be repla-
ced to ensure an optimum sealing effect.
If repair on the spot is necessary, it should be carried out in a
clean workshop preferrably by KSB--monteurs or skilled opera-
tor staff. Spring--loaded rings, seat rings, all elastomer materi-
als and springs should be replaced in any case.
Make sure to comply with the instructions for handling ha-
zardous substances and the applicable accident preven-
tion regulations when repairing, dismantling and cleaning
used mechanical seals. If you have any queries in this context
please inform yourself before commencing any repair work.
Spare parts
Only original spare parts shall be used. Non--compliance
with this requirement entails the risk of seal malfunctions
which may jeopardize the safety of personnel and the environ-
ment.
It will also lead to forfeiture of all warranty claims.

Faults
Determine and document the nature of the fault.
In the event of a fault as evidenced by excessive leakage, ob-
serve the tendency of the leakage amount. Changes in opera-
ting conditions must be documented. If an excessive tempera-
ture rise is detected, the mechanical seal must be shut down for
safety reasons.
During the warranty period the mechanical seal shall only be re-
moved and dismantled with the manufacturers approval or un-
der instructions of the mechanical seal manufacturers service
engineers.
If the fault cannot be remedied by the operator or if the cause
is unclear, please contact the KSB service center.

Due to their protected spring (1.5), mechanical seals of this type
are particularly suitable for fluids containing solids and/or highly
viscous fluids, for ex. in sugar, paper or waste water applica-
tions. The seal design is rugged and reliable. The spring neither
clogs nor sticks. Max. axial end play between shaft and hou-
sing: 0.5 mm in any direction.
For operation at negative pressures (down to --0.2 bar), no seat
lock is required for the seat ring (2).
Torque transmission between the shaft and the seal is normally
effected by grub screws(1.6); or by special drive elements (1.2)
on individual models.
J LIQUID SUPPLY TO MECHANICAL
SEAL
To ensure trouble--free operation of the mechanical seal, a sui-
table circulation process has been selected on the pump, see
section 9 of the pumps operating manual. This process avoids
product deposits in the seal chamber.
J EMISSIONS
Mechanical seals are dynamic seals which for physical and
technical reasons cannot be completely leak--free. The amount
of leakage largely depends on the seal selection, production to-
lerances, operating conditions, smooth running of the machine,
etc. Compared with other dynamic sealing systems, however,
mechanical seals have little leakage.
Should the mechanical seal fail, the hot liquid or steam to be
sealed off may spurt out. Splash guards fitted on the machine,
safety goggles worn by the operating staff, etc. may prevent ha-
zards to persons. The operator/owner is responsible for the pro-
per disposal of leakage, in order to prevent hazards to the envi-
ronment.
Leakage may be liquid or gaseous, its aggressiveness corres-
ponding to that of the fluid to be sealed off.
Any mechanical seal leakage must be drained off in a controlled
way and safely disposed of.
. Components which may come into contact with the seal lea-
kage shall either be corrosion resistant or must be adequately
protected.
J STORAGE
Unless otherwise agreed in the contract, mechanical seals are
delivered in standard packaging suitable for dry transport by
truck, train or plane. The symbols or handling instructions given
on the packaging must be adhered to.
For incoming goods inspection:
D Check packaging for external damage.
D Carefully open packaging, making sure not to damage or
lose any components packed separately.
D Check consignment for completeness (delivery note). The
supplier shall be notified immediately of any damaged
goods or missing parts.
The instructions given below shall apply both to mechanical
seals delivered and stored in their undamaged, original packa-
ging, and to mechanical seals already installed in a pump,
which have not been in operation yet.
24
The mechanical seals need not be preserved.
D Do not apply anti--corrosives.
' Risk of deposits and possible chemical attacks on ela-
stomer secondary seals.
When applying preservatives to entire systems where mecha-
nical seals are installed please check the following:
D Verify the compatibility of the preservatives chosen with the
materials of construction and the elastomer components of
the mechanical seal.
D Verify that mechanical seal movement is not restricted by re-
sin deposits or sticking.
During storage, seal face materials and elastomers will un-
dergo material specific time dependent changes (distortion,
ageing), which can impair the perfect function of the mechanical
seal. The specified storage period must therefore be complied
with.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage re-
sulting from improper storage.
The room where mechanical seals are kept must be dust--free
and moderately ventilated, with an even temperature. We re-
commend: relative humidity below 65%, temperature between
15 C and 25 C.
The mechanical seal shall be protected from:
D direct heat from sun, heating
D ozone and ultraviolet light from halogen lamps, fluorescent
lamps, sunlight, arc welding
' danger of embrittlement of elastomer materials
The seals shall be stored in their original packaging on a level
surface.
The mechanical seal needs to be checked:
D after a storage period of approx. 2--3 years
D if the packaging has been damaged
D after a shock load (e.g. if the mechanical seal package has
been dropped)
' at the manufacturers workshop or nearest service centre.
J BEFORE INSTALLATION
Checks to be carried out on the pump components:
Shaft surface in the area of the dynamically loaded seal ring:
roughness depth Rmax 5 mm.
Checks to be carried out on the pump:
D Check contact surfaces between the pump and the mecha-
nical seal for damage.
D Connecting dimensions, squareness and concentricity to
shaft.
D Shaft run--out as per DIN ISO 5199: between 50 mm and
100 mm, depending on the diameter.
D Apply a thin coat of suitable grease to the shaft in the
mech.seal area.
' Never use mineral oil base lubricants on sealing elements
made of ethylene propylene rubber (swelling, possibly de-
composition).
' Grease recommended for elastomer sealing elements

' Double PTFE encapsulated O--rings must be fitted so that
the joint of the outer sheath points in opposite direction to
the mounting direction, so that the friction force generated
when sliding on the O--ring closes the joint. Kinks in the foil
will result in leakage.

D O--ring extractor
D Set of hex. keys (WAF 2 mm -- 6 mm)
D Cardboard washers to protect the contact faces during in-
stallation
D Manual screw press (compulsory from DN 80 mm).
J INSTALLATION
Refer to the general pump assembly drawing when installing
the mechanical seal.
Mechanical seals are precision--machined machinery compo-
nents which have been inspected several times. They must be
installed with due care and in compliance with certain procedu-
res, particularly regarding the contact faces and elastomer
seals.
Utmost cleanliness must be ensured in the immediate vicinity
of the location where a mechanical seal is to be installed.
Never use force when installing a mechanical seal.
D Unpack the seal and inspect the spring--loaded ring, seat
ring, O--rings and contact faces for damage.
' Never place the spring--loaded ring and the seat ring on
the table facing down without protecting the contact fa-
ces.
D Thoroughly clean all parts with alcohol and paper tissue.
The sequence of operations required to install the mechanical
seal in the machine depends on the design of the machine in
question, which is described in the pumps operating manual.
Unless otherwise stated, apply a very thin coat of grease to
O--rings which will slide into or onto other components during
mechanical seal installation.
Operating maual mechanical seal
Rev. 0, 13.02.2004
Possible installation sequence:
D Slide the degreased O--ring onto the seat ring.
D Cover the contact face of the seat ring with a cardboard
washer. Generously lubricate the seat ring with water or al-
cohol and press it slowly and evenly into its seat. Use a spa-
cer, if necessary. Check squareness of seat ring to the shaft
axis.
D Apply a thin coat of grease to the shaft protecting sleeve in
the mechanical seal area.
' Never use mineral oil base lubricants on sealing ele-
ments made of ethylene propylene rubber (swelling,
possibly decomposition).
D Slide the rotating seal assembly with greased O--rings onto
the shaft protecting sleeve.
D Fit the degreased grub screws, having applied one drop of
thread--locking compound (e.g. Loctite R No. 243) to each
screw.
D Tighten the grub screws to lock the torque--transmitting
sleeve into place.
D Clean the contact faces with propyl alcohol and paper tissue
(no cloth, no cleaning rags!) to remove any smears. Do
not touch the contact faces with bare fingers after that.
' Do not apply lubricants to the contact faces. The contact
faces must be installed in clean and dry condition.
D Fit the seal cover with pre--assembled seat ring.
J COMMISSIONING
Prime the pump and the seal chamber with the fluid handled
and vent thoroughly. The seal is now ready for operation.
J SAFE OPERATION
For single mechanical seals, the pressure in the seal chamber
of the pump must always exceed ambient pressure, to prevent
any air intake at the seal faces, which would result in dry running
and thus failure of the mechanical seal.
In all operating conditions, the product to be sealed off must be
available in liquid state at the mechanical seal, particularly du-
ring pump start--up and shutdown.
If the operating conditions indicated are observed and the in-
structions given in this operating manual are complied with, the
mechanical seal can be expected to give trouble--free opera-
tion.
J HEALTH AND SAFETY
Mechanical seals are often used for sealing off hazardous sub-
stances (chemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc.). The applicable in-
structions and regulations for handling hazardous materials
must absolutely be adhered to.
25
Should the mechanical seal fail, the hot liquid or steam to be
sealed off may spurt out. Splash guards fitted on the machine,
safety goggles worn by the operating staff, etc. may prevent ha-
zards to persons. The operator/owner is responsible for the pro-
per disposal of leakage, in order to prevent hazards to the envi-
ronment..
J FAULTS/MALFUNCTIONS
Determine and document the nature of the fault/malfunction.
In the event of a fault as evidenced by excessive leakage, ob-
serve the tendency of the leakage amount. Changes in opera-
ting conditions must be documented. If an excessive tempera-
ture rise is detected, the mechanical seal must be shut down for
safety reasons.
A continuous flow of leakage indicates a fault/malfunction at the
mechanical seal.
During the warranty period the mechanical seal shall only be re-
moved and dismantled with the manufacturers approval or in
the presence of his representative.
If the fault/malfunction cannot be remedied by the operator or
if the cause is unclear, please contact your responsible KSB
service centre.
J SERVICING / MAINTENANCE
Mechanical seals operated in compliance with manual are
maintenance--free. Wear parts, however, must be replaced as
required.
The mechanical seal shall be inspected in accordance with the
plant inspection schedule. We recommend to have the mecha-
nical seal inspected by competent KSB service staff.
If the mechanical seal is removed during plant inspection, the
contact faces shall be re--worked and all elastomer seals and
springs shall be replaced.
J REPAIR
If the seal needs to be repaired, always return the complete seal
to the manufacturer. The manufacturers service personnel will
know best which parts can be re--worked and which parts have
to be replaced to ensure an optimum sealing effect.
If repair on the spot is absolutely necessary (e.g. no spare seal
available, long transport distances, problems with customs pro-
cedures), skilled operator staff may carry out the repair work in
a clean workshop to the directions of the seal manufacturers fit-
ters.
J SPARE PARTS
Use only genuine spare parts, to prevent
D the risk of mechanical seal malfunction, involving hazards
to persons and the environment.
D forfeiture of any and all warranty claims.
To ensure quick mechanical seal replacement, we recommend
to stock a complete spare seal.

SEAL
To ensure trouble--free operation of the mechanical seal, a sui-
table circulation process has been selected on the pump, see
section 9 of the pumps operating manual. This process avoids
product deposits in the seal chamber.
J EMISSIONS
Mechanical seals are dynamic seals which for physical and
technical reasons cannot be completely leak--free. The amount
of leakage largely depends on the seal selection, production to-
lerances, operating conditions, smooth running of the machine,
etc. Compared with other dynamic sealing systems, however,
mechanical seals have little leakage.
Leakage may be liquid or gaseous, its aggressiveness corres-
ponding to that of the fluid to be sealed off.
Any mechanical seal leakage must be drained off in a controlled
way and safely disposed of.
. Components which may come into contact with the seal lea-
kage shall either be corrosion resistant or must be adequately
protected.
J STORAGE
Unless otherwise agreed in the contract, mechanical seals are
delivered in standard packaging suitable for dry transport by
truck, train or plane. The symbols or handling instructions given
on the packaging must be adhered to.
For incoming goods inspection:
D Check packaging for external damage.
D Carefully open packaging, making sure not to damage or
lose any components packed separately.
D Check consignment for completeness (delivery note). The
supplier shall be notified immediately of any damaged
goods or missing parts.
The instructions given below shall apply both to mechanical
seals delivered and stored in their undamaged, original packa-
ging, and to mechanical seals already installed in a pump,
which have not been in operation yet.
The mechanical seals need not be preserved.
D Do not apply anti--corrosives.
' Risk of deposits and possibly chemical attack of the ela-
stomer secondary sealing elements.
When applying preservatives to entire systems where mecha-
nical seals are installed please check the following:
D Verify the compatibility of the preservatives chosen with the
materials of construction and the elastomer components of
the mechanical seal.
D Verify that mechanical seal movement is not restricted by re-
sin deposits or sticking.
Operating maual mechanical seal
Rev. 0, 13.02.2004
During storage, seal face materials and elastomers will un-
dergo material specific time dependent changes (distortion,
ageing), which can impair the perfect function of the mechanical
seal. The specified storage period must therefore be complied
with.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage re-
sulting from improper storage.
The room where mechanical seals are kept must be dust--free
and moderately ventilated, with an even temperature. We re-
commend: relative humidity below 65%, temperature between
15 C and 25 C.
The mechanical seal shall be protected from:
D direct heat from sun, heating
D ozone and ultraviolet light from halogen lamps, fluorescent
lamps, sunlight, arc welding
' danger of embrittlement of elastomer materials.
The seals shall be stored in their original packaging on a level
surface.
The mechanical seal needs to be checked:
D after a storage period of approx. 2--3 years
D if the packaging has been damaged
D after a shock load (e.g. if the mechanical seal package has
been dropped)
' at the manufacturers workshop or nearest service centre.
J BEFORE INSTALLATION
Checks to be carried out on the pump components:
Shaft surface in the area of the dynamically loaded seal ring:
roughness depth Rmax 5 mm.
Checks to be carried out on the pump:
D Check contact surfaces between the pump and the mecha-
nical seal for damage.
D Connecting dimensions, squareness and concentricity to
shaft
D Shaft run--out as per DIN ISO 5199: between 50 mm and
100 mm, depending on the diameter.
D Apply a thin coat of a suitable grease to the shaft in the
mech. seal area.
' Never use mineral oil base lubricants on sealing elements
made of ethylene propylene rubber (swelling, possibly de-
composition).
' Grease recommended for elastomer sealing elements
(O--rings, etc.): type TURMOPOLGREASE SH2, produ-
cer: Lubricant Consult (LUBCON).
' Double PTFE encapsulated O--rings must be fitted so that
the joint of the outer sheath points in opposite direction to
the mounting direction, so that the friction force generated
when sliding on the O--ring closes the joint. Kinks in the foil
will result in leakage.

D Fit the seal cover with pre--assembled seat ring.

J COMMISSIONING
Prime the pump and the seal chamber with the fluid handled
and vent thoroughly. The seal is now ready for operation.

J SAFE OPERATION
For single mechanical seals, the pressure in the seal chamber
of the pump must always exceed ambient pressure, to prevent
any air intake at the seal faces, which would result in dry running
and thus failure of the mechanical seal.
In all operating conditions, the product to be sealed off must be
available in liquid state at the mechanical seal, particularly du-
ring pump start--up and shutdown.
If the operating conditions indicated are observed and the in-
structions given in this operating manual are complied with, the
mechanical seal can be expected to give trouble--free opera-
tion.

J HEALTH AND SAFETY

Mechanical seals are often used for sealing off hazardous sub-
stances (chemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc.). The applicable in-
structions and regulations for handling hazardous materials
Fig. 1: General mech. seal design must absolutely be adhered to.

30 Operating maual mechanical seal

Rev. 0, 13.02.2004
Should the mechanical seal fail, the hot liquid or steam to be
sealed off may spurt out. Splash guards fitted on the machine,
safety goggles worn by the operating staff, etc. may prevent ha-
zards to persons. The operator/owner is responsible for the pro-
per disposal of leakage, in order to prevent hazards to the envi-
ronment.
J FAULTS/MALFUNCTIONS
Determine and document the nature of the fault/malfunction.
In the event of a fault as evidenced by excessive leakage, ob-
serve the tendency of the leakage amount. Changes in opera-
ting conditions must be documented. If an excessive tempera-
ture rise is detected, the mechanical seal must be shut down for
safety reasons.
A continuous flow of leakage indicates a fault/malfunction at the
mechanical seal.
During the warranty period the mechanical seal shall only be re-
moved and dismantled with the manufacturers approval or in
the presence of his representative.
If the fault/malfunction cannot be remedied by the operator or
if the cause is unclear, please contact your responsible KSB
service centre.
J SERVICING / MAINTENANCE
Mechanical seals operated in compliance with manual are
maintenance--free. Wear parts, however, must be replaced as
required.
The mechanical seal shall be inspected in accordance with the
plant inspection schedule. We recommend to have the mecha-
nical seal inspected by competent KSB service staff.
If the mechanical seal is removed during plant inspection, the
contact faces shall be re--worked and all elastomer seals and
springs shall be replaced.
J REPAIR
If the seal needs to be repaired, always return the complete seal
to the manufacturer. The manufacturers service personnel will
know best which parts can be re--worked and which parts have
to be replaced to ensure an optimum sealing effect.
If repair on the spot is absolutely necessary (e.g. no spare seal
available, long transport distances, problems with customs pro-
cedures), skilled operator staff may carry out the repair work in
a clean workshop to the directions of the seal manufacturers fit-
ters.
J SPARE PARTS
Use only genuine spare parts, to prevent
D the risk of mechanical seal malfunction, involving hazards
to persons and the environment.
D forfeiture of any and all warranty claims.
To ensure quick mechanical seal replacement, we recommend
to stock a complete spare seal.

J REMOVING THE SEAL FROM
THE PUMP
D Shut down the pump, allow to cool down and release pres-
sure as per operating instructions.
D No product should contact the mechanical seal Drain the
pump, if necessary!
D Secure the pump against inadvertent start--up!
D Follow the safety instructions (safety data sheets)!
When removing the mechanical seal make sure to observe the
applicable health and safety regulations, as well as the regula-
tions for handling hazardous substances, if the mechanical seal
have already been in operation. If in doubt, the necessary infor-
mation has to be obtained before starting repair work.
Any work on the mechanical seal shall only be performed with
the pump shut down and the pump pressure released.
The sequence of operations required to remove the mechanical
seal from the pump depends on the design of the pump in ques-
tion, which is described in the pumps operating manual.
Removal of the mechanical seal shall be effected in analogy
with, but in reverse order to, installation.
J CUSTOMER SERVICE
Services provided by the seal manufacturer range from plan-
ning advice to product support after commissioning.
For this purpose, the manufacturer has established a worldwide
network of subsidiaries abroad, partner companies, sales offi-
ces and service stations, to handle any problems.
J PURCHASE ORDERS
For enquiries and purchase orders, the following details are re-
quired:
D KSB order No.
D No. of general pump assembly drawing
D Part item No., description, material, quantity as per drawing
J DISPOSAL
Usually, mechanical seals can easily be disposed of after a tho-
rough cleaning.
D Metal parts (steel, stainless steel, non--ferrous metals),
shall be sorted and disposed of in the appropriate waste me-
tal collection facility.
D Plastics (elastomers, PTFE) are special waste. After sor-
ting, some of them can be recycled.
' CAUTION! Material containing fluorine must not be inci-
nerated.
D Ceramic contact face materials (carbon, ceramics, carbide)
can be separated from their carrier materials and -- being
physiologically harmless -- disposed of as residual waste.

Sealing / flushing water piping

The pump is equipped with sealing / flushing water piping.
These pipes are sheathed PTFE hoses which are flexible, tem-
perature and highly pressure resistant.
Another favourable property of PTFE (polytetrafluorethylene)
is the extremely low friction coefficient which prevents pipe
clogging.
Normally we supply this assembly ready mounted to the pump.
If this is not the case, mount the hoses and fittings as per the
attached drawings (see appendix).

Coupling (N--EUPEX)
(Flexible couplings N--EUPEX and N--EUPEX--DS,
types A and ADS)
N--EUPEX couplings provide radial, angular, axial and tor-
sional flexibility. They are positive--locking.
Torque is transmitted by flexible coupling elements (flexi-
bles).
The non--linear spring characteristic and the favourable
damping properties of the N--EUPEX coupling effectively
counteract any dangerous increase in vibrations.
General instructions and safety notes
When fitting and removing N--EUPEX couplings please note
the following requirements:
D The coupling shall only be operated,
serviced or repaired by authorized,
skilled and duly qualified staff.
D The coupling shall only be used and
operated within the conditions
stipulated in the technical specification
and supply contract.
D Unauthorized modification and removal
of protective equipment is not permitted.
D Any work on the coupling shall only be
performed with the machine shut down.
The driver must be secured against
inadvertent start--up (e.g. by locking the
key--operated switch or removing the
power supply fuses). At the switch--on
point a notice shall be affixed to the
effect that work is being performed on
the coupling.
D Immediately switch off the driver when
changes in coupling behaviour occur,
such as changed running noises.
D The coupling must be suitably protected
against accidental contact.
Omega
Installation
-- Design of types A / ADS
The N--EUPEX coupling types A / ADS consist of a coupling
part 1 which houses the flexible coupling blocks (12), the finger
part 3 and the coupling part 2, which bolts onto part 3.
The bolted connection between part 2 and part 3 makes it possi-
ble to separate the coupled machines without axial displace-
ment (if clearance P is observed).
Part 1 Part 12 Part 13 Part 2
S1
-- Mounting the coupling components
Before fitting the coupling components, carefully clean the shaft
ends and the coupling parts. Make sure to remove the flexible
coupling blocks before cleaning the coupling parts with a sol-
vent.
Heed the manufacturers instructions for the use of
solvents.
Caution Use appropriate tools when pulling on the
coupling parts, to prevent damage to the
shaft bearings due to the axial joining force.
Make sure to use suitable lifting tackle.
The shaft ends must not protrude from the hub faces. The cou-
pling is locked in axial direction by means of the set screw or
end plate, as applicable / set screw and end plate, respectively.
Caution The set screws shall only be tightened by
means of a hexagon socket head wrench to
DIN 911, without extension.
Non--compliance with these instructions may cause
the coupling to burst. Danger of life by flying frag-
ments!

the heated coupling parts have cooled down to under 80 _C be-
fore doing so. All coupling blocks used must be of identical size
and marking.
Push the machines to be coupled together.

Take appropriate precautions to prevent injury by

crushing.

Make sure to observe dimension S1. On types A and ADS, the

connection between parts 2 and 3 shall be re--established be-
fore aligning the coupling, and the tightening torque of the scre-
wed connection between parts 2 and 3 shall be checked (for
tightening torques and clearance S1 please refer to point 6.6).
Aligning the coupling
(Also refer to section 5.3.2).
The couplings will only tolerate misalignment of the shaft ends
to be coupled to a certain extent.
When aligning the coupling, the radial and angular misalign-
ment of the shaft ends should therefore be minimized. With
identical operating conditions, the useful life of the flexible cou-
pling blocks will be increased as a result.
Coupling alignment shall be effected in two planes which are
normal to each other. Use a straight--edge (radial misalign-
ment) and feeler gauge (angular misalignment) as shown be-
low to verify.

Commissioning the coupling Operation

Measures to be taken prior to commissioning General operating data

Before commissioning the coupling check the proper installa-
tion of the flexible coupling elements, i.e. make sure the flexi-
bles are flush with the hub face, and check whether the set
screws are properly tightened. Also verify coupling alignment
and clearance S1 and correct, if necessary. Check whether all
screwed connections have been tightening with the tightening
torques specified. Finally, fit the coupling guard against acci-
dental contact.
During coupling operation, watch out for
changed running noises,
sudden vibrations.
Caution If any irregularities occur during operation,
switch off the driver immediately and refer
to the trouble--shooting table to determine the cause.
The trouble--shooting table lists possible faults, causes and
suggested remedies.

49
 Omega

Trouble--shooting
General
The faults listed below shall serve as orientation only when de-
termining failure causes.
In a complex plant system, all other components will have to be
included in the search for possible failure causes.
The coupling shall give low--noise and vibration--free operation
in all phases of operation. Any other operating behaviour shall
be considered a fault which must be remedied immediately.
Before commencing any maintenance, repair or
other work on the coupling, the operator must shut
down the entire driving mechanism. The drivers, in parti-
cular, must be secured against inadvertent start--up.
Also, the accident prevention regulations in force at the in-
stallation site shall be complied with.

Replacing wear parts

Use only genuine N--EUPEX flexible blocks as spare parts, to
ensure correct torque transmission and trouble--free operation.
Please note:
On types A and ADS, the flexibles can be replaced without axial
displacement of the coupled machines.
After the screwed connection between parts 2 and 3 has been
undone, part 3 can be shifted in axial direction. By rotating part
3, the flexible coupling blocks are freely accessible. To facilitate
axial displacement, sizes 225--430 are provided with forcing
threads in part 1. From size 440, the forcing threads are located
in part 3 (see illustrations).

For reassembly carefully follow the instructions in the sections

on Installation and Commissioning.

sleeve is removed for installation purposes, then great care
must be taken to avoid any damage to the finely finished, lap-
ped surfaces.
Whenever replacing worn out or damaged mechanical seals,
the section of the shaft or sleeve which will accept the new seal
must be cleaned and oiled.

Installation and operation
1. Clean and lightly lubricate the shaft / sleeve with a suitable
lubricant.
Caution:
Sealing elements manufactured in EP--Elastomer materials
must not come in contact with mineral oil and grease.
2. Push on the rotating unit applying light manual pressure.
3. Push the seat ring together with the joint ring into the cover
applying even manual pressure. The joint ring shall also be
lubricated using a suitable lubricant.
4. The contact faces must be cleaned prior to installation into
the machine. Tighten the cover bolts evenly. Overtightening
can affect the true running of the rubbing faces and there-
fore have an adverse effect on the functioning of the mecha-
nical seal.
5. Manually turn the shaft. Fill the machine whilst simulta-
neously monitoring the venting equipment within the seal
area. Check the circulation pipe.

Dismantling and assembly of the rotating unit

The first step is to remove the snap ring (096) from the retainer
(780). The springs are compressed to achieve this. This can
be done by using a simple tool, as illustrated.
Caution Lapped surfaces of the rotating face must
be protected.

Wing nut

Grub screw

Thrust plate with

glued--on

protective support

Locking nut

Baseplate Assembly is carried out in reverse sequence.

1. The rotating face (574 / 578) is pushed down and the snap
ring (096) is removed from the groove using a pointed tool.
The following must be noted during assembly:
The drive cams in the retainer (780) must engage into the groo-
ves of the thrust ring (583) or the rotating face (574 / 578) .
Fit the snap ring (096) into the groove of the retainer (780), lea-
ving one end of the snap ring protruding by approx 6 -- 12 mm
to the side of the drilled hole.

At the outer circumference of the retainer (780) there are 2 mar-

2. Now remove in the following sequence: the rotating face
(574 / 578), the O--ring (123), the thrust ring (583) and the
springs (582 / 092).
ker grooves. The lower one runs precisely through the centre
of the drilled hole for the internal socket head screws, which in-
dicates that the thread of the screws is metric.
The upper groove assists during installation. If the initial ten-
sion of the mechanical seal is set correctly to the installation
length, then the thrust ring shall be in alignment (be flush) with
this groove.
