MSS Series Pumps

Theory and Operation


MSS Pump External Components
Multi-stage stainless (MSS) pumps are centrifugal feed pumps specifically designed for brackish and seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) service. MSS pumps develop pressure by accelerating fluid through a channel. Rotating this fluid through centrifugal force develops a pressure higher than was input. Pressure can be increased by lengthening the channel through the addition of impeller stages or increasing their size. Motors are selected according to equipment operating requirements (Figure 1). A flexible coupling allows the pump shaft to float within the coupling reducing thrust against the motor. The inlet and discharge housings are designed to connect to grooved rigid piping with couplings. The inlet housing itself can be attached to the pump in four different positions 90 apart. A precision leveling foot supports the end shell housing and is fully adjustable to allow accurate pump-to-motor shaft alignment.

Theory and Operation (cont.)


MSS Pump Internal Components
The internal components of an MSS pump can vary depending on pump configuration and number of stages. The basic components contained in a single stage consist of an impeller and a diffuser with a spacers and bushing which prevent friction and wear. Behind the discharge housing at the end of the pump is the cavity cover, balance disc and bearing carrier. (Figure 2).

The balance disc rides in the bearing carrier and serves as a thrust bearing for the pump. This unique design uses patented WATER BEARING technology which allows feed water cool and lubricate the disc. Because the balance disc is located at the discharge end of the pump, it keeps the shaft in tension. As the motor rotates the pump, internal pressure causes the impeller stacks to compress and move away from the motor lifting the balance disc off the bearing carrier. Pressure on the front of the balance disc is stabilized by the throttle nipple which allows pressure to travel back through the drain line and into the inlet housing. This thrust and counter thrust allows the disc to "self-balance" based on operating conditions.

Overhaul Procedures (cont.)


WARNING All pump and safety precautions must be followed to prevent physical injury to the operator. It is illegal to operate the equipment in an EU member state, which requires CE compliance, if the manual is not written in that states language. If a translation is needed, please contact a FEDCO representative. CAUTION A pump is a pressure-generating device with rotating parts that can be hazardous. Any device containing generated pressure can rupture, explode or discharge its contents if it is sufficiently over-pressurized and may possibly result in personal injury, property damage, environmental damage and death. All necessary precautions must be exercised to insure over-pressurization does not occur. FEDCO will not accept responsibility for physical injury, damage or delays caused by a failure to observe the instructions in this manual. WARNING Installation, operation or maintenance of the pump unit in any manner which is not covered in this manual could cause damage to the equipment, serious injury or death. This includes any modification to the equipment or the use of parts not provided by FEDCO. If there is a question regarding the intended use of the equipment, please contact a FEDCO representative before proceeding. CAUTION This manual clearly identifies accepted methods for safe disassembly. These methods must be strictly adhered to. WARNING Do not use the pump equipment for a different application than originally specified without the approval of a FEDCO representative. WARNING NEVER operate the pump equipment: below the minimum flow rate. when dry. without priming. without proper guards and safety devices installed. with the discharge valve closed. with the suction valve closed. FRONT BACK Figure 3 Typical Lock-Out Tags Safety Equipment should be used in accordance with company regulations. The following safety equipment should be used within the work area: Helmet. Safety Glasses with shields or goggles. Safety Shoes. Protective Gloves. Hearing Protection is recommended. Follow safe lifting methods to avoid personal injury. ELECTRICAL HAZARD Always follow the Lock-out / Tag-out procedure developed by your company before starting any maintenance or repair (Figure 3).

User Health and Safety

In the Work Area

Always keep the work area clean and dry. Avoid all electrical dangers. Be aware of risks from electric shock or arc flash hazards. Utilize adequate lifting equipment and methods.

Electrical Connections and Regulations

Refer to the motor nameplate for specific electrical operating information. Electrical connections must be made by certified electricians in compliance with all international, national, state, and local regulations and codes. Insure the product is isolated from the power supply and cannot be accidentally energized. Make sure all thermal contacts are connected to a protection circuit according to product specifications. All electrical equipment must be properly grounded. During installation, service and repair, must follow your companys Lock-out / Tag-out procedure (Figure 3).

MSS Series Pumps Lifting and Handling


CAUTION Observe all lifting precautions. Failure to follow all lifting and handling precautions may result in serious injury! Unit weight is listed on the unit nameplate. Determine the weight of the unit to select an appropriate lifting method. If the weight of the pump exceeds manual lifting limits, mechanical lifting equipment must be used. MSS pumps can be lifted by the shell using approved lifting straps together with suitable lifting equipment. The straps must be installed around the shell without disturbing the drain line (Figure 5). If straps are placed around the drain line, damage can occur (Figure 4). Pump Assembly Lifting

Cleaning
WARNING NEVER use petroleum or alcohol based solvents when cleaning pump components. Solvents can degrade or damage vital seals and O-rings over time. Use fresh water with mild soap and rinse all components thoroughly before assembly. Pump Shaft Clean shaft with soap and water. Rinse thoroughly before use. Pay particular attention to shaft ends. Castings Clean all castings with soap and water and rinse thoroughly. Pay particular attention to pipe coupling grooves in inlet and discharge housings. Internal Components Clean all internal castings with soap and water. Rinse thoroughly before use. Internal castings should dried with a with a clean, damp cloth before assembly. Throttle Nipple and Bearing Drain Line Rinse throttle nipple thoroughly using fresh water. Ensure the ports are clear of any debris. Rinse drain line out thoroughly using fresh water and note any debris flushed out.

Inspection
Pump Shaft a) Place the shaft on a flat surface and roll to inspect for any distortion or run-out which may cause vibration. b) Inspect threads - damaged threads can cause the nut to loosen or seize over time and may cause damage. c) Inspect shaft at the coupling end for any signs of excessive wear near the shaft key. Internal Components Inspect all internal components for signs of excessive wear or damage. Pay particular attention to impeller and diffuser fins. Ensure no cracks are present. Replace if necessary. Fasteners Inspect all retaining rings for distortion or corrosion and replace as necessary. Inspect all fastener threads for signs of wear and replace as necessary. O-Rings and Seals Inspect all O-rings for cuts or damage and replace as necessary. Pay particular attention to the mechanical and stationary seals. If either seal shows any signs of excessive wear or leakage, replace both seals. Bushings Inspect all bushings for signs of excessive wear and replace as necessary. Throttle Nipple Pass compressed air through throttle nipple to ensure passages are clear. Replace if necessary.
