This instruction book contains a description of and instructions for open and enclosed type bowl assemblies used in Ruhrpumpen vertical turbine pumps and manufactured by the vertical Pump Division of the Ruhrpumpen. Instructions for disassembly, maintenance, and reassembly are given in section II. A list of parts covering all models of the bowl assembly, and instructions for ordering parts, are given in section III. 1-3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1-4 Ruhrpumpen vertical turbine pumps are normally designed to operate in wells or sumps. The bowl assembly (see figure 1-1) consists primarily of a suction case or bell, one or more pump bowls, and a discharge case. The number of stages (bowls) employed is determined by the head requirements of the installation. The pump bowl assembly is positioned in the sump or well at a depth to provide the proper submergence. A pump shaft, common to all moving parts in the bowl assembly, provides mechanical linkage to the pump driver unit. 1-5. two basic configurations of the bowl assembly are the open type and the enclosed type. Functional differences in the two types are in the methods employed to lubricate the line shaft. In the enclosed type , a tube is placed over the line shaft and lubricants are supplied to the bearings through the shaft tube. In the open type, no lubricants are used other than the fluid being pumped 1-6 SUCTION BELL 1-7. The suction bell serves as the input port to the pump bowls. Internal guides or vanes perform the dual function of directing fluids into the eye of the first stage impeller and supporting the housing for the suction case bearing. A bell type suction is normally employed, but in applications where it is necessary to attach a suction column, a flanged type of suction case may be used. 1-8 PUMP BOWLS. 1-9. Two types of pumps bowls, top and intermediate, are available for the vertical turbine pump. Operation of the bowls is identical, with the exception that the top bowl discharges fluids into the discharge case and that the intermediate bowl or bowls discharge fluids into the eye of the impeller of the next stage. Each type of bowl contains an impeller which is mechanically connected to the pump shaft. Liquid flow in the impeller is both axial and radial. the upper portions of the bowls contain vanes which direct the fluids from the impeller out of the bowl. The vanes also support the housing for the bowl bearings, intermediate bowls contain a bronze bearing press fitted into the housing. Top bowls contain a single bronze bearing which extends up into the discharge case. Bearing materials may be varied to suit specific application. A multiple stage assembly contains a top bowl and one or more intermediate bowls. A single stage assembly contains only a top bowl. 1-10. IMPELLER 1-11. Impellers used in Ruhrpumpen turbine pumps are of the enclosed centrifugal or mixed flow type. Sealing of interstage leakage is accomplished by insertion of wearing rings to provide close radial fitting between the bowl and impeller sealing surface. Impellers are mechanically connected to the pump shaft by impeller collets and lock nuts which press the impeller tightly against the collets. Position of the impeller on the shaft is determined by an impeller lock pin. The lock pins are inserted at the plant and the provide accurate positioning of impellers on the pump shafts. 4 / 27 VERTICAL TURBINE PUMP Type VTP 1-12. DISCHARGE CASE 1-13. The discharge case receives the fluid from the top bowl and directs it to the column pipe, if one is used, or directly into the discharge head. Vanes that guide the fluid also act as a support for the pump shaft bearing. When the discharge case is used with enclosed shaft pumps, the tapped holes in the external boss of the discharge case provide venting of the pump discharge pressure, and permits correct flow of lubricants down the enclosing tube. When the discharge case is used with an open type pump, threaded plugs are screwed into the holes to prevent by-passing of liquids through the vent ports. FIGURE 1-1. VERTICAL TURBINE PUMP INSTALLATION 5 / 27 VERTICAL TURBINE PUMP Type VTP SECTION II PRE-INSTALATION 2-1. INSPECTION OF EQUIPMENT 2-2. Immediately on receipt of the equipment inspect and check it against the shipping manifest. Examine the create and wrapping before discharging. Parts or accessories are sometimes wrapped individually or fastened to the crate. Report any damage or shortage to the transportation company’s local agent. 2-3 STORAGE 2-4. When it is necessary to store a pump for a short time before it can be installed, place it in a dry location. Protect it thoroughly from dust and moisture. If a pump is schedule for storage for an extend period of time, that section of the pump above the bearing bracket should be dismantled and all internal surfaces subject to corrosion should be coated with a protective fluid. 2-5 CLEANING PRIOR TO INSTALLATION 2-6. If a rust preventative has been used on stored parts, they should be thoroughly cleaned prior to putting the pump into service. Kerosene or any coal tar distillate will generally serve as a good solvent for most rust preventative compounds. Extreme care must be taken to assure that all traces of the protective coating are removed unless standard lubricating oil has been used for protection. SECTION II I INSTALATION 3-1 LOCATION OF EQUIPMENT 3-2. The pump should be placed so that it can be easily removed for inspection and repair, giving due attention to desirability of simplifying the discharge piping layout. There should be ample head room to allow the use of an overhead crane of lifting device with sufficient capacity lo lift the entire unit. 3-3 FOUNDATION 3-4. The foundation may consist of any material that will afford permanent rigid support to the full area of the pump or driver supporting member an will absorb expected strains and shocks that may be encountered in service. If the pump is to be mounted on a concrete floor, foundation bolts of the specified size should be located according to the elevation drawing. Each bolt should be surrounded by a pipe sleeve 2 to 3 times the diameter of the bolt. The sleeve should be held rigidly yet allowing the bolts to be removed.. 3-5. When the pump unit is mounted directly on a sump cover, it should be located as near as possible to supporting beams or building walls to prevent deflection and vibration. The pump support and motor base should be bolted and doweled to the sump cover to retain proper alignment of piping. 3-6 EQUIPMENT NECESSARY FOR INSTALLATION 3-7.

Placement depth – Feet (meters in parenthesis) 14 / 27 VERTICAL TURBINE PUMP Type VTP SECCION IV FUNCIONAMIENTO 4-1. PREVIOUS TO STARTING RECOMMENDATIONS 4.2 Previous to starting recommendations, check the following thinks: A. The discharge valve is partially open and the discharge pipeline is property connected. B. The impellers have been adjusted properly during the installation and the motor line and the pump turn without inconvenient. C. All the bolts are tight. 4-3. STARTING 4-4. Start up the pump like it follows: A. Pre-lubricate the line in the pump of open line injecting water per the opening injection of the discharge head. Inject water for a minimum of three minutes in the pump whose shaft longitude is bigger than 40 feet. Continue the injection for one minute for each 100 additional feet of longitude of the shaft. B. Close the outburst switch. C. Observe if the pump begins to work easily and if it works without excessive vibration. If there is a difficulty to begin or an excessive vibration, stop the bomb immediately and consult the section V to determine the probable cause. D. Open the discharge valve slowly until the discharge pressure arrives to the wanted degree. E. In the open line pumps, tight the nuts of the split gland gradually during a lingering period. (See you the paragraph 5-8). 4-5. FINAL ADJUSTMENT 4-6. After the pump start to worked for a while enough to press the line coupling and to clean the liquid pumped of abrasive materials that can have, the position of the impellers should be checked and to readjust them for a turn of the adjust nut in the motors of hollowshaft. 4-7. STOPPING UNIT 4-8. Close the discharge valve slowly and then stop the motor. With this pulsations are avoided in the system and that the liquid is returned through the pump. SECTION V CONSERVATION 5-1. PREVENTIVE CONSERVATION 5-2. INSPECTION 5-3. the pumps with hidden shaft are built to lend service without inconveniences for a long time and to only need a minimum attention. Periodically inspect the oiler to see if it is working appropriately and if it has enough oil, as well as the split gland to see if it has the appropriate escape, and the pumps to see if there are slack fasteners, excessive vibration, dirt and corrosion. 5-4. CLEANING 5.5. Remove the rust or corrosion with a brush of fine wire and cloths. Clean all the pieces, if is necessary, except the electric contacts, wetting the cloths or the brush with an appropriate solvent. 5-6. PUMPS WITH OVERDRAFT SHAFT 5-7. The pumps with overdraft shaft are equipped with split gland that do not need 15 / 27 VERTICAL TURBINE PUMP Type VTP attention, however it need an occasional approve of the scape. 5-8. Don't press the case of the split gland as much as to impede all escape. The packing should have a slight escape for the lubrication or the shaft will be lined or it will suffer excessive waste if was impeded that escape completely. The best rule is to loosen the case so that it can be given turns to the nut with the fingers and to let the split fland to have an abundant escape during an initial period of setting in march or after the packing of the split gland has been changed. Tight then the nut of the case gradually letting that the packing settles, until the escape is reduced to between 40 and 60 drops per minute. 5-9.The modeled rings that can be requested as reserve packing, give the best results to renovate the packing. Nevertheless, it can be formed the material rings in rolls, if it is necessary. In that case the pieces will be cut individually and will be adjusted carefully with juncture to bevel to avoid the deformation of the pieces. Put each new ring inside the split gland and set individually with the case. Make sure that the junctures are not aligned. The best thing is to stagger them to 180 degrees as they go settling the new rings in the split gland. 5-10. CLOSE SHAFT PUMP 5-11. This kind of shaft are provided with a oil lubricant tank, that should be filled periodically. Fill the tank like is recommended in the next paragraph. 5-12. LUBRICATION 5-13. OPEN SHAFT PUMP This kind of pump depend mainly on the liquid that is pumped for the lubrication of the bearings, intermediate and superior bowls, the bearing of the discharge case and the bearings of the shaft. Conserve the grease cup of the split gland full with good quality grease. The bearing of the suction case is packed with grease in the factory and it doesn't need lubrication until it is dismantled to inspect it or to repair it. After the disassembly, repack the suction box bearing with grease of medium viscosity to the temperature of the liquid pumped (approximately 500SSU to 100 degrees). Is convenient an oxidation inhibitor and usually have it the most of the good quality grease. 5-14. CLOSE SHAFT PUMP These pumps have the bearings of the discharge case and shaft lubricated with oil. The lubricant for those bearings is contained in the oil tank and it is fed to the bearing of tension tube. Maintain the oil tank full with a thin oil of turbine of good quality, of around 150 SSU to the temperature of the liquid that is pumped. A less thicken oil maybe doesn't flow appropriately through the bearings. Adjust the oiler so that it feeds from 4 to 6 drops per minute (twice that quantity for pumps larger than 200 feet, inside the shaft tube. As in the pumps open pumps, the bearings of the bowls are lubricated for the liquid that is pumped. The bearing of the suction case is greased and sealed in the factory and you only have to repack after disassembling to inspect it or to repair it. After disassembling it repack that bearing like is recommended for the open shaft pumps. 5-15. CONSERVATION CORRECTIVE 5-16. INCONVENIENCES AND THEIR POSSIBLE CAUSES 5-17. THE PUMP DO NOT START UP The possible causes are: A. The voltage given to the driver is very low. B. The electric circuit is open. C. The motor is faulty. D.
