IJ PUMP OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
4-7
BO2660-01
a. Pressure gauge (PI) in lube oil console should read pressure specified in LUBE OIL
SCHEMATIC drawing in the back of this manual,
b. Lube oil cooler inlet and outlet temperatures (if applicable) should read temperatures
specified in OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS.
c. Lube oil inlet and outlet temperatures for bearings and clutch (if applicable) should read
as specified in OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS.
4.2 OPERATION
4.2.1 CHECKS AND MINOR ADJUSTMENTS
With the pump put on line in accordance with the procedures under STARTUP above, it should run
quietly and smoothly with little attention once the temperature of the bearings and the temperature in
the seal flush system stabilize; usually after 60 minutes of pump operation. During these first 60
minutes and periodically afterwards, monitor indicators and alarm circuits, make any necessary minor
adjustments, and perform essential servicing; the fundamental tasks are outlined below.
NOTE
For readings in alarm circuits, see your plant's procedures.
1. Monitor alarm circuits, lube oil system, cooling water systems, and seal flush system,
according to your plant's setup and procedures for pump. If alarm is activated, shut down
pump (see STOPPING), and correct cause (see TROUBLESHOOTING and lube oil console
manufacturer's data in APPENDIX).
2. Monitor discharge pressure of pump. If pressure of pump drops suddenly shut down pump
(see STOPPING) and correct cause (see TROUBLESHOOTING).
3. After first 10 to 15 minutes of pump operation, check for leakage around shaft sleeves;
a. for pumps equipped with mechanical seals, leakage shall not be evident;
b. for pumps equipped with packing, leakage must be evident; the nominal rate is 5 to 15
drops per minute (see ADJUSTING PACKING LEAKAGE RATE below).
4. Check that readings of indicators of temperature, pressure, and flow for these components
and systems are as given in OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS and your plant's procedures:
a. cooling water system for heat exchangers,
b. cooling water system for seal housings, and
c. seal flush system.
5. Check that temperature of lube oil at these indicators is as given in OPERATING
SPECIFICATIONS:
a. inlet temperature indicator of heat exchanger,
b. outlet temperature indicators of pump bearings,
6. Check that lube oil outlet temperature indicator of driver bearings and speed increaser gear
(when installed) are as required by the manufacturer (see driver and speed increaser gear
manufacturer's data in APPENDIX.)
