Operating instructions for Centrifugal pumps
1.0 Product Description
This description applies for centrifugal pumps from the pump factory IRON LTD.
The type and number of the pump together with the order no. is to be found in the technical data sheet.
1.1 Capacities and Applications
The maximum pressure, the permissible temperature and the pump media we have set the pump for is
stated in the technical data sheet. The performance of the pump can be seen in the graph.• IRON LTD. does not render any guarantee if the type of liquid or other important working conditions
have been insufficiently specified or omitted.
• If the working conditions differ from those given in the technical data sheet Contact us before putting
the pump into operation.
1.2 Construction and function
Type QHDV is a horisontal centrifugal pump with 2 external bearings and mechanical shaft sealings (can
also be supplied with a stuffing boxes) - for remaining details see the technical sheet.
In principal a centrifugal pump is built up in the following manner:
It consists of an impeller furnished with blades that are normally curved backwards in relation to its
direction of rotation. The impeller is situated in a spiral pump case (snail shell). The pump case is
equipped with a suction flange and a pressure flange.
Before the pump is started the pump case and the suction line must be filled with water (or other liquid
which is to be pumped).
When the impeller starts rotating the blades cause the liquid to rotate in relation to the pump case.
Centrifugal force will sling the liquid out of the impeller and into the spiral of the pump case. This causes
a vacuum in the centre of the impeller exactly where the entrance is situated. As atmospheric pressure
influences the surface of the water in the well (or in the tank from which one wishes to pump from) the
created vacuum (differential pressure) effects the fluid in the suction line and presses in into the centre of
the impeller.
When the water is slung out of the impeller and into the spiral of the pump case the velocity energy
which is created is changed to pressure energy. The pressure effects the amount of water in the pressure
line and starts this moving and hereby creates a continual flow (regular flow) from the suction line
through the pump to the pressure line.
1.3 Risks and leakages
IRON LTD: Products comply with the regulations for work safety and accident precautions.
If the workers are exposed to danger due to the media used having for example too high temperatures,
they must ensure that the necessary protection precautions are made.

Demands for the mounting setup
2.0 Environment conditions
Standard pumps are intended for installing in dry rooms free from aggressive atmosphere and having a
temperature between + 10 and 40 deg.C. Mounting under other conditions (e.g. outdoors, in damp rooms
etc.) is only allowed if it stated in the technical data sheet and is therefore suitable for these conditions.
2.1 Space requirements
The space required for the pump and the positions of the foundation holes are given in the dimension
print.
2.2 Foundation
The foundation with its mass must counteract vibrations, take up small outside stresses such as hydraulic
strain and “fitting in” forces from the pipelines.
• Damages due to insufficient or faulty foundation is not covered by the guarantee.
2.3 Leakages
Leaking can arise from the mechanical shaft seals so it is recommended to fit a drainpipe to them.
When the pump is supplied with a stuffing box, it is always leaking from the gland.

Transport and installation of pumps
3.0 Condition on delivery
IRON LTD. products are inspected for perfect condition and function before leaving the factory. The
pump has been tested with water complying with the capacity ratings that are given in the technical data
sheet and shown in the graph.
3.1 Transport and storage
Standard packing protects the pump against corrosion by land transport and storage in dry rooms for atleast 3 months. For longer storage it is necessary to make special protection measures.
Seaworthy packing protects the pump for land and sea transport and dry storing (under cover or in closed
rooms) for at least 3 years. On arrival at its destination, the packing must be examined to ensure that it is
in a condition to guarantee protection in storage.
• The cases can be opened when:
• Large damage is found.
• The goods are to be stored for a longer period than originally planned.
• In all other cases the goods must not be opened until the pump is to be installed. When unpacking
check that the order is complete and correct.
3.2 Mounting on the foundation
If the pump and motor are delivered separately, they must be assembled on a base , see instructions for
fitting the couplings. After being assembled the unit can be mounted directly on to a suitable foundation.
3.3 Installation of the pump
The whole pipeline system must be pressure tested and examined for leakages and rinsed out before con-
necting to the suction and delivery flanges of the pump. If the pump has been installed before the pres-
sure test care should be taken to ensure that the test pressure does not exceed the test pressure of thepump (stamped in the pump, usually in the suction flange) otherwise damage can be caused to the pack-
ing or the mechanical shaft seals of the pump. When connecting the pipelines to the pump, do not use
force as this can damage the alignment of the pump.
Precautions must be taken to support the pipelines so as prevent inadmissible strain being transferred to
the pump due to expansion.
Check all connections to the pump e.g. lubrication, priming, heating, cooling media drainage etc. and
various measuring instruments are all properly connected. Make sure that nothing prevents access to the
pump for inspection or replacing parts. adequate room must be made for axial split case pumps in order
to disassemble the upper half of the casing.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/fire-pumps-data-book-2-iom-section-3 9/45
IRON Pump A/S
Page 8
3.4 Pipe installation
Points to be considered:
Loss of pressure in the suction line must be kept at a minimum in order to avoid cavitation in the pump.
Static suction height + loss of pressure in the suction line + NPSH value for the pump + steam pressure
must not exceed 10 mWC at sea level. Long suction pipes making air pockets possible should be
avoided.
3.5 Installation of pipelines
Suction and pressure lines must be connected to the flanges of the pump free from strain, as eventual
stresses are taken up at fixed points and therefore suitable compensators should be installed in the pipe
system. The flanges in between which the pump is installed must be absolutely parallel.
3.6 Recommended accessories
As the pump, especially the mechanical shaft sealing, is designed to run with clean water without sludge
a suitable filter must be installed in the suction line, and if the mechanical shaft seals are not furnished
with external cooling a filter must be installed in the circulation pipe. A filter having a large area and
which can be cleaned is recommended.
IRON LTD. can supply suitable filters.
3.7 Safety arrangements
If the pump should run with closed valves for a longer period of time, it should be furnished either with
temperature control equipment or recirculation, otherwise it will run hot.
3.8 Disassembling and transport
• Before sending the pump for repair, Please note the following:
• All media remains to be removed from the pump.
The sender is liable for damage inflicted to the pump or other goods caused by media remains leaking.

Running instructions for centrifugal pumps
4.0 Prevention of accidents
Ensure that the pump and motor are mounted according to instructions, all connections are right and the
necessary screens and guards are in order.
If the workers should be exposed to danger e.g. the media having high temperatures, the user must take
the necessary precautions such as periodic examination for leakages from all packings.
Air escape valves are to be opened very carefully.
The pump must be emptied before it is opened.
4.1 Start up
Before starting, make sure that there is grease in the bearing houses - see next page.
Carefully fill the pump with water and let the air escape as follows:
• Unscrew the plug on the top of the pump and make sure that the water does not come too quickly as
this can cause pressure thrusts which can destroy the mechanical shaft seal.
• When the pump is full and all the air is out, screw the plug on.
• This air escape operation is very important because otherwise the shaft seal can be destroyed.
• Check the coupling.
• Ensure that the pump can be turned by hand.
• Start the motor for a short period and check the direction of rotation - Remember that the pump must
be filled with water, or the coupling removed, so as not to destroy the shaft seals.
4.2 During start up
Normally the pump is started with discharge valve closed and filled with water.
After starting, the discharge valve is slowly opened until the working point is reached.
Immediately after start, check for noise and vibrations. At the normal head of the pump and after running
for about a minute it should have a very steady motion without unusual noise and vibrations.
Check bearing temperature - max. 105 deg.C.
Check seal housing for leakages.
4.3 Stand-by pump
If the pump is not used frequently it must started or rotated at least once a week to avoid damaging the
shaft seals.

IRON Pump A/S
Page 10
4.4 Lubrication
The pump bearings are greased with Mobiltemp SHC 100 or similar grease.
Lubricating intervals are 1000 hours at 1500 - 1800 rpm.
The bearing are greased while the pump are running until new grease is comming aut.
• Check every 3 months:
Unusual noise, vibrations and leakages.
Pumps with mechanical shaft seals must not leak either during standstill with inlet pressure on the pump
or when running. Circulation pipe to the mechanical shaft seal must be intact and not blocked. If any of
these points are lacking, they must immediately be put right, otherwise any defects can have great impor-
tance to the function of the pump and its lifetime.
• Check every 12 months:Take the pump apart (see instruction).
The rotating parts are checked and repaired of necessary. Normal clearance between the impeller and
sealing ring is 0,45-0,50 mm. Maximum clearance is 0,8-1,0 mm. depending on the size and capacity.
The pump is lubricated in accordance with the following table:

5.6 Assembling of the pump
• Before the pump is assembled the pump casing is cleaned inside and may be painted (e.g. with Apex-
ior No.3) or treated with more resistant products (e.g. Hempadur No.15/3 “Hempel Marine Paints”).
• The complete rotating element is put in the bottom part. The bearing closest to the coupling is guiding
the shaft axially. Place the casing wear rings correct in the volute casing.
• The clamps and the bearing housings are fastened in the bearing bracket lantern.
• The impeller nuts pos. 922.1+2 are fastened and secured so the impeller is correct placed in the volute
casing. Secure the spacer sleeves with the headless screws. Place the shaft seals correct - see instruc-
tion for mech. seal.• The volute casing top part is put on, all bolts are greased with “Never Seez” before screws and nuts
are mounted and fastened.
• All connections, i.e. cooling pipe, sensor and the like are mounted.
5.7 Fastening of screws in the volute casing
• When the pump is assembled and all screws are mounted they can be fastened.
• The bolts in the casing joint surfaces are fastened by appr. 60% of the specified moment, in order for

Installation HUHNSEAL type HQB
Installation
When installing a seal, the following points need to be taken into
consideration:
Working with seals should only take place if the system is turned of
and pressure free.
Insure that the place of fitting is clean.
Build-in dimensions (± 0.2mm) and tolerance (concentricity
tolerance and seal chamber bore) have to be followed.
Concentricity tolerance:
Diameter < 50mm:
=> max. 50 µm
100mm < Diameter <
100mm:
=> max. 80 µm
Diameter > 100mm:
=> max. 100 µm
Seal chamber bore:
Sliding velocity vg < 25 m/s
=> max. 0,2 mm
Sliding velocity vg > 25 m/s and
double seal with buffer fluid
=> max. 0,1 mm
Soapy water, soap or glycerine can be used to ease installation.
Grease containing silicone may not be used.
Mineral oil or grease may not be used together with EPDM O-Rings.
Sliding rings should not come in contact with lubricant, they should
be installed dry, dust-free and clean.
The installation of the seals must be done carefully and the
installation notes should be considered.
After the seal is installed, the buffer space (seal chamber) must be
carefully vented to prevent damage to the sliding faces from dryrunning.

Mounting and operating instructions for pumps
1.0 Before start
Check direction of rotation (marked with an arrow).
• Check that there is liquid in the pump (might have been emptied by standstill).
• Check that the pump is turnable by hand.
• Check that the pump has been lubricated with grease.
• Check the pump for noises and vibrations immediately after starting.
• Check priming pump (if any). See special instructions.
1.1 General instructions
Check the pump immediately after receipt. In case of damages or defects - complain immediately.
All pumps are marked with indication of type and number, stamped into the plate as well as into the
pump itself - as for centrifugal pumps, usually in the suction flange - as for other pumps, at an easily
visible place.
If the pump is not mounted immediately after receipt it should be protected during storage (see storage
instructions).
1.2 Mounting instructions
When calculating the piping system, special regard should be paid to minimizing pressure losses in the
suction line (short pipe lengths, large diameter, few bendings, no valves). If valves are necessary, then
use valves with min. pressure losses, e.g. slide valves, butterfly valves, flap non-return valves etc.
Static suction lift + total pressure losses in suction line + NPSH value of the pump + steam pressure of
the liquid must not exceed 10 mWC at sea level (and 760 mm Hg.).
1.3 For pumps delivered without motor - mounting of coupling parts
Before mounting, shaft and coupling parts must be carefully cleaned. Grease shaft ends and check that
key fits. Heat coupling parts to 80oC. and push them on to the shaft ends by hand or by a light pressure.
By dismounting a puller will have to be applied.
1.4 Alignment of couplings
Flexible couplings will absorb small deviations in the relative positions of the shaft ends to be connected,
however, a careful and accurate alignment will prolong the life of the coupling flexibles - see instructions
for coupling.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/fire-pumps-data-book-2-iom-section-3 28/45
IRON Pump A/S
Page 6
1.5 Installation of the pump
The entire piping must be pressure and leakage tested and flushed clean before it is connected to the suc-
tion and discharge side of the pump. If the pressure test takes place with the pump installed the testing
pressure must not exceed the testing pressure of the pump, which is stamped into the pump, usually in the
suction flange. Otherwise, the pump packings or flanges for the mechanical shaft seal might be dama-
ged. Connection of the pipes to the pump must take place without using force as this might interfere with
the alignment of the pump.
Precautions must be taken to ensure that the pipe connections to the pump are supported in a way that
prevents tensions from being transmitted to the pump, e.g. owing to thermal expansion. Check that all
other connections to the pump are in working order, such as lubrication, priming, heating, cooling med-
ium outlet, etc., and that the various measuring equipment has been correctly connected. Take care that
no parts obstruct the easy access to the pump for inspection or replacement of important parts. For pumps
with axially split casing there should be sufficient space for dismounting the top part of the pump casing.
1.6 Motor wiring
Electric motors should be connected by means of sufficiently long cables to permit the motor to be
moved a little without dismantling the connections. A control unit (emergency stop) should be installed
close to the pump.
1.7 Motor-driven pumps (diesel)
When using pumps driven by internal combustion engines vibrations may occur in the system. It is re-
commendable to mount the unit on vibration dampers and to install compensators between pump and
pipelines. The calculation of vibration dampers should be left to specialized companies.
1.8 Starting of the pump
When the preceding preparations and installations have been completed the pump can be started. To cen-
trifugal pumps it applies that the pump must be provided with a bypass if it is operating for long periods
with closed valve on the discharge side as, otherwise, a too strong heating and expansion of the pump
medium will occur. When starting positive pumps (e.g. piston pumps, type BDV - BDHV, gear pumps,
type ON - ONV, and others), the valve on the discharge side must be open as, otherwise, the pump may
burst, in spite of the fact that a bypass valve to the suction side is incorporated in these pumps. Pumps
provided with mechanical priming pump should be checked for supply / contents of liquidbefore starting.
Further information see operation instructions for priming pumps.
Check also that the pump shaft can be turned by hand. Pumps with mechanical shaft seal must be pro-
tected against impurities and dry running. Supply of liquid or oil to the mechanical shaft seal is
imperative. Please note that clogged filters will cause considerable friction losses, which may decisively
affect the suction capacity and output of the pump. Check also when starting the pump that the direction
of rotation is correct (shown with an arrow on the pump), and open slowly the valve on the discharge side
of the pump. At normal discharge head the pump should run smoothly without abnormal noises and
vibrations after abt. 1 minute of operation.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/fire-pumps-data-book-2-iom-section-3 29/45
IRON Pump A/S
Page 7
1.9 Pumps with priming device
The valve on the discharge side of the pump must be closed during priming. The operating instructions
for the priming system should be strictly followed, see instructions for the system in question
(mechanical system with pump or ejector system driven by compressed air). After priming of the pump,
open the valve on the discharge side slowly and adjust it in such a way that permissible vacuum is not
exceeded.
1.10 Self-priming pumps
Type RS - RSM this type of pump is provided with integral air separation in pump casing. If there is not
free access on the discharge side the pump must be provided with air relief cocks to be opened during
priming. Fill the pump casing with liquid before the first start. By subsequent operation of the pump the
pump casing will be filled with liquid.
1.11 All pumps
It is an absolute requirement that pumps are not operating unnecessarily long without liquid, nor-
mally max. 5 min. During the first hours of operation bearings, packings and mechanical shaft (seal(s)
should be checked for heating and leakage. Normal bearing temperature is 40-75 gr.C. Max. temperature
for normal ball and roller bearings is up to 105 gr.C.
1.12 Maintenance - lubrication
To pumps directly coupled on motor shaft it applies that only the bearings of the motor require
lubrication.
Pumps executed with bearing bracket and grease lubricated bearings should be lubricated every 3rd
month with ball bearing grease (Lithium soap grease) Check that not too much grease is pressed into the
bearings as this will cause generation of heat. All bearings are provided with sealing rings in order to pre-
vent humidity and impurities from entering. The grease must no be pressed through these sealing rings.
For bearings which are exposed to higher pressures or humidity a heat resisting and water-repelling
grease will apply (Molypan LT-1 or similar quality).
For pumps executed with oil lubrication, lubricating oil (Mobilgear 682 or similar quality) can be used
for normally loaded bearings. For more heavily loaded bearings Mobil SHC 626 or similar quality
should be used.
In case of oil sump lubrication the oil level should be checked by means of screw-plug, oil level glass, oil
indicator or other control equipment - see instructions for the pump in question.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/fire-pumps-data-book-2-iom-section-3 30/45
IRON Pump A/S
Page 8
1.13 3 months’ check
Check the pump for false noises, vibrations and leakage. Pumps with mechanical shaft seal must not
leak, neither during standstill with inlet pressure on the pump, nor during operation. The bypass pipe to
the mechanical shaft seal must be intact and permit free flow. Likewise, the piping system and filter of
the priming device must be intact and permit free flow. In case of defects they must be corrected
immediately as they may greatly influence the operation and life of the pump.
1.14 12 months’ check
Disassemble the pump (see instructions). Check the components of the rotary element and perform all
necessary. Normal clearance between impeller and sealing rings is 0,2 - 0,3 mm, and max. clearance is
0,5 - 0,8 mm, according to size and capacity. Clean the pump casing inside and paint it if necessary (e.g.
with Apexior No.3 or with more corrosion-resistant products, e.g. Hempadur No.1513 - “Hempel Marine
Paints”).
1.15 Disassembling instructions
Before starting the disassembly of the pump the sectional drawings of the various pump parts should be
studied closely. All pumps are designed for easy disassembly, and no special tools should be required.
The pumps consist of standard components, which means a large number of the components are used in
various pump sizes, for which reason it is necessary to keep a small stock of spares for various sizes of
the same pump type.
Pumps with split casing, e.g. type QV and type QH, can be disassembled without dismantling motor and
pipe connections. After dismounting of coupling bolts (triparted coupling), bearings housing top part and
pump casing top part, the rotating element consisting of shaft with impellers(s), bearings, casing wear
rings, mechanical seal(s) and coupling half can be lifted out for inspection, repair or replacement.
In-line pumps type CNH with spacer coupling, can also disassembled without removing motor and pipe
connections. First the intermediate piece between the coupling elements is dismounted, then the pump
cover with the rotating element can be lifted out for inspection. In the smaller types of these pumps, CNL
and CNLB, the motor with pump cover and rotating elements is removed as one unit. In horizontal, self-
priming pumps type RSM and RS, the impeller can be inspected after removing the inspection cover. In
type RSM the rotating element can be taken out after removing the rear cover with motor, and in type RSafter removing the rear cover and the bearing bracket. To both pump types it applies that it is not
necessary to dismount the pipe connections.
As for other pump types, it is necessary to remove the pipe connections in order to inspect the interior
parts of the pump.

IRON Pump A/S
Page 9
1.16 Assembling instructions
When assembling the pump the mechanical seal must be treated with the greatest care. Take care that the
various parts are placed correctly. For further information see instructions for mechanical seal.
1.17 The following packings are used
Between pump casing top part and bottom part - 1,00 mm Klingerit.
Between pump casing and cover 1,00 mm Klingerit.
In such places where liquid packing has once been used this type of packing must be used again when
remounting the pump, as other types of packing would produce wrong spaces.
1.18 Mounting of motors in direct-coupled pumps
If the pump is delivered without motor a distance ring is mounted between the packing flange and the
shaft. This ring must not be removed until the motor has been mounted and the pump shaft screwed
together with the motor shaft. Do not forget to remove the ring before starting the pump.
1.19 Pumps with split casing
When mounting the rotating element in the pump, take care that the tongue of the case wear rings fits
correctly in the groove of the pump casing. The bolts of the pump casing must be tightened with a torqueof 6,0 kgm, the bolts of the bearing housings with a torque of 3,0 kgm.
When reassembling pumps, take care that impellers, as regards the vanes, have the same direction of
rotation as before the disassembling.
1.20 Maintenance (storage instructions) - General instructions
All pumps which are taken out of operation for some time should be protected against corrosion and frost
and kept in a dry place. The following directions should be observed:
1.21 Preservation of bearings
Both ball / roller bearings and slide bearings should be lubricated all over with their normal lubricant.
8/11/2019 Fire Pumps Data Book 2 IOM Section 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/fire-pumps-data-book-2-iom-section-3 32/45
IRON Pump A/S
Page 10
1.22 Preservation of interior parts of the pumps
The interior parts of the pumps should be protected against aggressive pumping media, for instance by
using a water-repelling solvent containing at the same time corrosion inhibiting nitrides. We recommend
“Mobil oil - Arma 245” or similar quality.
1.23 Preservation of gear wheel pumps and gearboxes
Gear wheel pumps do not need any protection if they have been operating with oil products. If not, they
should be lubricated all over with a neutral oil.
Gearboxes should be completely filled with the oil specified. If the standstill lasts longer than 12 months
the oil should be emptied and replaced by “Mobil Arma 25” or similar quality or the gearbox should be
flushed with this oil.
1.24 Preservation procedure
Flush the pump with pure. hot water (does not apply to be screw pumps and gear pumps) and let it airdry.
Close the valves on both sides of the pump and flush the pump with “Mobil Arma 25” or similar quality.
Flushing can take place through the manometer connections.
1.25 Restarting of the pumps
When restarting pumps it is advisable to fill the pump with hot water through the manometer connections
(does not apply to screw pumps and gear wheel pumps) and to turn the pump shaft by hand before
starting the pump. Watch the operation of the pump for abt. 10 minutes and open the valve in the normal
way. Bearings, gearboxes etc. should be lubricated with normal oil or grease if a change of oil has taken
place.

Installation and maintenance instructions for EFLEX-R coupling type RA
2.0 Safety precautions
• Rotating parts should be guarded by the buyer to prevent accidents, taking account of applicable local
accident prevention regulations.
2.1 Mounting
• Before mounting the hubs, carefully clean shaft ends and coupling parts.
• Inside hubs to be flushed with the shaft ends. Tighten set screw to secure hubs axially.
• Tighten set screw only with hexagon socket wrench according to DIN 911 without extension piece.
• Heating of coupling parts till approx. 80oC. will facilitate mounting, but the flexible elements must be
removed first from the female part.
• Be shure the flexible elements are turned correct when they are mounted again - se instructions draw-
ing.
• Bring the coupling hubs together, taking care to observe dimension S1 according to the table.
• Check all screw connections with screw tightening torques of the table.
2.2 Alignment
• EFLEX-R couplings will absorb deviations in the relative position of shafts to be connected (see pos-
sible misalignments).
• When aligning the coupling halfs , the angular and parallel offset misalignments of shaft relative to
each other should be as small as possible. Alignment to be carried out in two planes as shown in fig.1
with a straight edge (offset misalignment) and spacer bar (angular misalignment). A dail indicator will
give greater accuracy.
• The gap dimension S1 must be within the limits listed in the table.
2.3 Possible misalignments
• The permissible axial distance Ka (fig.2) must be within the limits for S1 (see the table).
• Angular misalignment Kw (fig.3) is measured as the difference between Smax. and Smin. possible val-
ues are calculated with values from the table.
• Parallel offset misalignment Kr (fig. 4) see the table.
• Angular and parallel offset misalignment can occur at the same time. The sum of both alignments
should not exceed the values Kr respectively Kw.
• Kw and Kr apply in a shock free operation at ambient temperature - 30oC to 80oC.
2.4 Operation
• Before commencing initial operatings check alignment and gap dimension S1and if necessary make
corrections. Further check screw connections.

IRON Pump A/S
Page 12
2.5 Maintenance
• EFLEX-R couplings do not require any regular maintenance except for an occasional check on the
• torsional play or backlash between the driving and driven halves. When EFLEX-R couplings are used
in drives which do not require a minimum of torsional play or backlash in the coupling, the coupling
flexibles can be allowed to wear down 2/3 of their original thickness before they need replacing.
2.6 Replacing of flexibles
• Uninterrupted torque transmission and reliability of operation cannot be guaranteed unless original
• EFLEX-R flexibles are used.
• After fitting new flexibles, be shure they are turned correct.
• Before starting up control the mounting.
