4 INSTALLATION
Equipment operated in hazardous locations
must comply with the relevant explosion protection
regulations. See section 1.6.4,
Products used in
potentially explosive atmospheres.
Inspection prior to installation
Six months prior to the scheduled installation date, a
Flowserve Pump Division representative is to be
employed to conduct an inspection of the equipment
and the facility. If any deterioration of equipment is
noticed, the Flowserve Pump Division representative
may require a partial or complete dismantling of the
equipment including restoration and replacement of
some components.
4.1 Location
The pump should be located to allow room for access,
ventilation, maintenance and inspection with ample
headroom for lifting and should be as close as
practicable to the supply of liquid to be pumped.
Refer to the general arrangement drawing for the pump
set.
4.1.1
General installation check-list
The following checks should be made before starting
actual installation.
a) Make sure that motor nameplate ratings and the
power supply system match correctly.
b) Check the sump depth and pump length match-
up.
c) Check the liquid level in the sump.
d) Check the installation equipment to be sure that it
will safely handle the pump weight and size.
e) Check all pump connections (bolts, nuts etc) for
any shipping and handling related problems.
Always support shafting in at least
three places when lifting or installing. No installation
should be attempted without adequate equipment
necessary for a successful installation.
Be sure to check the motor shaft size against the
coupling bore size
Apply thread lubricant sparingly to
male shaft threads only at the time of making up
shaft connection. Excess lubricant should be
avoided.
