6.6.1 INTERNAL ASSEMBLY
6.6.1.1 Assembling Internal Assembly
To assemble the internal assembly, proceed as follows:
6.6.1.1.1 Interference Fit Part Installation
To install an interference fit part, proceed with the following general procedure:
1. Before installing part, ensure that:
a. the shaft, impeller and sleeve bores, split rings, and keys are kept clean and smooth:
scratched surfaces or dirt increase the chance of parts seizing,
b. temperature of shaft is kept within 20°F (11°C) of ambient temperature by cooling it with
shop air or by allowing it to be cooled by ambient air (do not use any other means to cool
shaft),
c. the shaft, wearing rings, bushings, and impeller hubs are lubricated with a lubricant that
is compatible with your pumpage such as powdery Molykote or Neolube (graphite in
isopropanol).
CAUTION
Application of excessive heat can cause part distortion and
damage. Application of insufficient heat can cause scouring
of the parts when attempting installation. Ensure that the part
is heated to the temperature specified in OPERATING
SPECIFICATIONS before installation.
2. To heat a part to its installation temperature specified in OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS,
proceed as follows:
a. Heat the impellers, pressure reducing sleeve, and spacer sleeve (if installed) in an oven to
their required installation temperature as given in OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS. For
best results, start with the suction impeller and place as many impellers in the oven as
possible in stage sequence. Then, as impellers are removed for installation, place the next
impeller in sequence into the oven. This will avoid delay in the assembly process.
b. If an oven is not available, then heat the impellers or sleeves as each is to be installed
using two torches with number 10 Rosebud heads. Heat the impeller or sleeve evenly by
working the torches in a continuous circular path from the outer rim to the center, using
the two torches to heat both sides simultaneously, until it reaches the installation
temperature specified in OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS.
c. To heat a suction spacer or intermediate cover: use a torch with a number 10 Rosebud
head and make uniform passes around the outer surface where the cover or spacer meets
the cover that is to be installed, keeping this surface at the temperature given in
OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS. Do not heat the entire outer surface, and do not heat
the cover that is to be installed.
