and/or re-activated.
Please observe all instructions set out in the chapter on
"Commissioning" before returning the machine to service.

2.7 Unauthorized Modification and Manufacture

of Spare Parts

Modifications or alterations of the machine are only

permitted after consultation with the manufacturer.
Original spare parts and accessories authorized by the Fig. 1: Transport of pump (Fig.0)
manufacturer ensure safety. The use of other parts can
invalidate any liability of the manufacturer for
consequential damage.

2.8 Unauthorized Modes of Operation

The warranty relating to the operating reliability and safety

of the pump / unit supplied is only valid if the machine is
used in accordance with its designated use as described
in section 1 of these operating instructions. The limits
stated in the data sheet must not be exceeded under any
circumstances.

The motor eyebolts must only be used for

lifting the motor alone, never for lifting the
complete unit.

Safe transport in horizontal position must
be ensured by suitable transport facilities.
Make sure the pump cannot slip out of
the transport arrangement.

3.2 Interim Storage / Preservation

When the unit is temporarily put into storage, only the

wetted low alloy components, e.g. JL1040 (GG-25) must
be preserved. Commercially available preservatives can
be used for this purpose. Please observe the
manufacturer's instructions for application / removal.

Angle of pull > 90° not permitted.
Use two separate sets of lifting slings! Design

The KSB pump of the Omega series is a horizontally

installed, single-stage, axially split volute casing pump
with double-entry radial impeller. Connection flanges are
manufactured according to DIN, ISO, BS or ANSI, as
preferred.

Fields of application

In waterworks, irrigation and drainage pumping stations,

power stations, for industrial water supply, dock
installations, fire extinguishing systems, refineries,
pipelines and tank farms, also for handling crude oil and
refinery intermediates

a straight cut.

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 fitting 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 tightened (by hand). A high leakage rate (approx.
50 to 200 drops per minute), depending on the liquid
being pumped, must be accepted 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.

fingers.
Ø Mount the sliding faces absolutely dry, dust-free and clean. In general a correctly operated mechanical seal is maintenance-free.
Do not use any lubricants! Wear parts, however, have to be replaced, if necessary.

• Mount the seal cover with the seat installed before. An inspection of the mechanical seal should be carried out during a
revision of the complete plant. We recommend to have this
inspection be performed by authorised BURGMANN personnel.

n START UP If the mechanical seal is disassembled during a revision of the plant

the sliding faces should be refinished at the manufacturer and both o-
rings and springs should be replaced.
For a safe operation of the mechanical seal we recommend to apply
the most suitable type of circulation described in API 610. This
protects the seal cavity from deposition of solids.

For a single mechanical seal the pressure in the seal chamber
(stuffing box pressure) should always be higher than the ambient
pressure at the pump. Otherwise the pump will suck in air via the
sliding faces, which will result in dry-running and consequent
failure of the mechanical seal.

11.1 General

The diagram opposite is to facilitate understanding of the

causes of faults and their remedies as indicated in the
trouble-shooting table.
The cause of many operating faults on pumps is often Power
hydraulic. The hydraulic behavior of a pump is illustrated Head
by its characteristic curves H, P, Eta and NPSH in Efficiency
combination with the plant characteristic curves HA and
NPSHA.The operating point B is where the system curve
HA and the characteristic curve H intersect. Consult the
manufacturer if the cause of a fault is unclear.

When fitting and removing N-EUPEX couplings please
note the following requirements:

● The coupling shall only be operated,

If the coupling blocks have been removed, they shall be

Make sure the heated coupling parts have cooled down to

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 before aligning the coupling, and the
tightening torque of the screwed 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

misalignment of the shaft ends should therefore be
minimized. With identical operating conditions, the useful
life of the flexible coupling 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
misalignment) and feeler gauge (angular misalignment)
as shown below to verify.

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.

The following must be noted during assembly:
snap ring (096) is removed from the groove using a
pointed tool. The drive cams in the retainer (780) must engage into the
grooves of the thrust ring (583) or the rotating face (574 /
578) .

Fit the snap ring (096) into the groove of the retainer
(780), leaving one end of the snap ring protruding by
approx 6 - 12 mm to the side of the drilled hole.

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). At the outer circumference of the retainer (780) there are
2 marker grooves. The lower one runs precisely through
the centre of the drilled hole for the internal socket head
screws, which indicates that the thread of the screws is
metric.

The upper groove assists during installation. If the initial

tension of the mechanical seal is set correctly to the
installation length, then the thrust ring shall be in
alignment (be flush) with this groove.
