h) If long coupled, check coupling alignment and
re-align if necessary.
Our specialist service personnel can help with
preventative maintenance records and provide
condition monitoring for temperature and vibration
to identify the onset of potential problems.
If any problems are found the following sequence
of actions should take place:
a) Refer to section 7, Troubleshooting, for fault
diagnosis.
b) Ensure equipment complies with the
recommendations in this manual.
c) Contact Flowserve if the problem persists.
6.2.1 Preventive Maintenance Guidelines
Different applications call for different preventative
maintenance schedules. Applications that involve
pumping abrasives, or applications that are likely to
precipitate solids should be examined on a regular
basis to ensure that accumulating solids (if any) are
removed. There are many factors that can
necessitate periodic preventative maintenance and
inspection, but for clean, continuously operating
services, preventative maintenance can usually be
done without disassembling the pump. See
recommended spare parts list for more information.
Devices/techniques to help monitor the pump
externally:
a) Install pressure gauges on the suction and
discharge
b) Regularly monitor the process conditions
c)
Use the motor’s fan to check for free rotation
d) Use a shaft power monitor to protect the pump as
well as monitor pump performance
e) Check vibration, noise level and surface
temperature to confirm satisfactory operation.
For preventative maintenance schedule
recommendations that are specific to your
application, please contact your authorized local
distributor.
If ABRASIVE SOLIDS are present within the fluid,
additional wear of the pump should be expected.
Intervals between inspections should be shortened
compared to usual times.
6.2.2 Routine inspection (daily/weekly)
The following checks should be
made and the appropriate action taken to remedy
any deviations:
a) Check operating behaviour. Ensure noise,
vibration and bearing temperatures are normal.
b) Check that there is no abnormal fluid or
lubricant leak from seals (if present) and that
any sealant systems (if fitted) are full and
operating normally.
c) If long coupled, check the level and condition of
oil lubricant.
d) If long coupled, check pump running records
for hourly usage to determine if bearing
lubricant requires changing.
Check any auxiliary supplies eg
heating/cooling (if fitted) are functioning correctly.
Refer to the manuals of any associated
equipment for routine checks needed.
6.2.3 Periodic inspection (six monthly)
a) Check foundation bolts for
security of attachment and corrosion.
b) If long coupled, check pump running records
for hourly usage to determine if bearing
lubricant requires changing.
c) If long coupled, check the coupling for correct
alignment and worn driving elements.
Refer to the manuals of any associated
equipment for periodic checks needed.
6.3 Spare parts
6.3.1 Ordering of spares
Flowserve keeps records of all pumps that have
been supplied. When ordering spares the following
information should be quoted.
1) Pump serial number.
2) Pump size.
3) Part name – taken from section 8.
4) Part number – taken from section 8.
5) Number of parts required.
The pump size and serial number are shown on the
pump nameplate.
To ensure continued satisfactory operation,
replacement parts to the original design
specification should be obtained from Flowserve.
Any change to the original design specification
(modification or use of a non-standard part) will
invalidate the pump safety certification.
