General

1.1

Abbreviation
The abbreviation of the centrifugal pump is set up
according to the following schema, and is engraved on
the type plate.

Example:

1.4

Performance data
The exact performance data applicable to the pump
can be taken from the order data sheet and/or acceptance test report, and are engraved on the name plate.

1.5

Warranty
Our warranty for shortcomings in the supply is laid
down in our delivery conditions. No liability will be undertaken for damages caused by noncompliance with
the operating instructions and service conditions.
If at any later date the operating conditions change (e.g.
different fluid conveyed, speed, viscosity, temperature
or supply conditions), it must be checked by us from
case to case and confirmed, if necessary, that the pump
is suited for those purposes. Where no special agreements were made, pumps supplied by us may, during
the warranty period, only be opened or varied by us or
our authorized contract service workshops; otherwise
our liability for any defects will cease.

1.6

Testing
Prior to leaving our factory, all pumps are subjected to
a leak and pressure test. A performance test is carried
out if agreed. Only properly operating pumps, achieving the performance assured by us, leave the factory.
Thus, compliance with the following operating instructions ensures faultfree operation and full delivery.

1.7

Availability
As a matter of principle, we recommend stocking
replacement pumps and withdrawable units (hydraulic
action system) where the supplied pumps are a
decisive factor in maintaining a production or delivery
process. In this way downtimes can be avoided, or
reduced to a minimum.

Application and range of utilization

The volutecasing centrifugal pumps of series NTT are
single and twostage pumps of the process type of construction for organic heat transfer oils in heat transfer
plants according to DIN 4754.
The fluids must contain no abrasive components and
must not chemically attack the pump materials.
The application of uniform components in several
pump series and sizes allows for economical stocking
of spares and procurement of replacement parts.
Limits of use
Synthetic or degreasing heattransfer
oils or other oils must have a minimum viscosity of 2 mm2/s at a delivery medium temperature of
100C. If the operator is unable to guarantee this minimum viscosity, the pump must be modified (consult the
factory).
Toxic heattransfer media always require a shaft seal
with pressureless quench receiver, a doubleaction
mechanical seal or a design with permanent magnetic
drive.

Transportation and Intermediate Storage

3.1

Packaging
Attention must be paid to the markings on the
packaging.
The suction and pressure sides and all auxiliary
connections must always be closed during
transportation and storage. The closing plugs must be
removed when the pump aggregate is installed.

3.2

Transportation
The pump or pump aggregate is to be safely
transported to the place of installation, if required by
means of lifting gear.
The generally applicable safety regulations for
lifting loads must be observed. The crane device
and cables must be adequately dimensioned. The
cables must not be attached to the attachment eyes
of the motor.

3.3

Preservation and storage of the centrifugal pumps

3.3.1

Preservation
In the case of storage or prolonged standstill, the
pumps must be protected against corrosion. In those
cases, an outside and inside preservation is to be
provided. The durability of the protection against
corrosion, which is limited in time, depends on the
composition of the preservative to be applied and the
storage conditions.
Under normal circumstances the pumps
have no special preservative.
At an additional charge we can, however, supply
pumps and replacement parts ex factory with a preservative adequate to the planned storage period.
We will be pleased to specify suitable preservatives for
you on request.

3.3.1.1 Outside preservation

The outside preservative should be applied by painting
or spraying with a spray gun.

Complete aggregates, with a base platemounted

horizontal foot pump and mounted, coupled motor,
must be transported to the place of installation as
shown in the illustration.

Points of preservation:
All bright and unvarnished parts (e.g. shaft ends, couplings, flange facings, valve and manometer connections).
3.3.1.2 Inside preservation
The preservative is to be applied by filling the pump. For
these purposes, the suction side of the pump must first
be closed with a dummy flange. During filling, the pressure flange must be on a higher level than the suction
flange. During the filling process, the shaft must be
slowly cranked against the direction of rotation. Filling
must be continued until the preservative reaches the
sealing strip of the delivery flange, bubblefree. Then
the outlet side is to be closed with a dummy flange.
Note: Not required for pumps made of stainless materials.
Points of preservation:
All bright parts inside the pump (e.g. pump casing inside, shafts, impellers and diffusers).
3.3.1.3 Monitoring of preservation
In the event of prolonged storage, the preservation of
the pump must be checked by the customer at regular
intervals.
Every six months the pump level must be checked; if
necessary, preservative must be topped up to the sealing strip on the pressure flange.
At the same time, the packing must be checked for destruction, and repaired if necessary.
Note: Liability for damages caused by improper preservation cannot be assumed by us.

aggregate
Transport damage
Check the pump for damage on receipt.
Any damage detected must be notified immediately.

ALLWEILER

3.3.1.4 Depreservation
Prior to setting the pump in motion, the preservative
applied must be removed.
Environmentally compatible disposal must be
ensured.
The pump must be dismounted and thoroughly
cleaned. This particularly applies to pumps used in the
food industry or in drinking water supply. A suitable
foodstuffcompatible solvent, compatible with the delivery medium, may be applied. Appropriate solvents
are for example: spirit, Ritzol 155, or heavily alkaline
soap suds. Steam jet cleaning devices with appropriate
admixtures can also be used (allow solvent to act beforehand).
Prior to startup after prolonged storage,
all elastomers (Orings, shaft seals) must
be checked for their elasticity of shape. Embrittled elastomers must be exchanged. Elastomers of ethylene
propylene rubber (EPDM) must always be replaced.
The pump must be filled with fluid to prevent seizing of
the components.
Note: If pipelines, tanks or other parts in the plant are
wetted with paraffincontaining preservative, the entire
plant must be depreserved. All preservative residues
must be eliminated; malfunctions of the pump may
occur if they are not.
3.3.2

Storage
During storage of the pump, the suction and outlet
branches and all other supply and discharge branches
must always be closed with dummy flanges or dummy
plugs.
Storage should be in a dry, dustfree room. During storage, the pump should be cranked at least once a
month. During this process, parts such as the shaft and
bearings should change their position.

pumped, and the one on the drive side by special
grease.

Shaft coupling and contact protection

Flexible shaft coupling to DIN 740 without or with
spacer.
Protection against accidental protection to DIN 24 295
is provided where a pump, base plate and shaft
coupling are supplied as the product package.
According to accident prevention regulations, the
pump must only be operated with a protection
against accidental contact as per DIN 24 295.

Installation/Mounting

5.1

Installation
In principle, the pumps are to be installed horizontally.

5.3.3

Characteristiques of a floor/concrete foundation

The foundation must be horizontal, flat and clean, and
be capable of bearing the full load upon it.
Note: Concrete foundations must be executed with
standard concrete of strength class B 25 as a minimum.

5.3.4

Alignment of the pump aggregate

The pump aggregate must be aligned to its preset
height and system dimensions. This is done using sui
table steel shims, arranged directly adjacent to each fi
xing bolt.
The total height of the steel shims is determined by the
preset system dimensions of the plant. The steel
shims and the base plate must sit flush.
If the fixing holes are more than 750 mm apart, we re
commend fitting additional steel shims in the middle of
the base plate.

The safety regulations and tests in accordance

with DIN 4754 and VDI 3033 must be observed
where pumps are installed in heattransfer plants.
5.1.1

Place of installation
The aggregate should as far as possible be installed at
the lowest point of the plant; that is, where the geodetic
supply head is highest.
The temperature transfered by the delivery fluid onto
the casing cover and the bearing bracket is significantly
reduced by the special design of the overall insert unit.
The installation location must be chosen such that no
heat buildup can occur in the area of the bearing
bracket.
Only the spiral casing may be insulated
with heatinsulating material. All other
pump components must not be insulated, in order to
ensure optimum heat discharge.

Base plate

To prevent injury from burns, appropriate protective

devices must be installed (protection against
accidental contact).
5.1.2

5.2

Fig. 3: Alignment with steel shims

Horizontal alignment of the aggregate is produced by

way of flatmachined surfaces on the pump using a
machine spirit level. Measurements are taken in longi
tudinal and transverse directions of the pump aggre
gate.
Permissible deviation: max. 1 mm per 1 m length.

Mode of fastening
The mode of fastening is dependent on the design type
and size of the pump and the coupled motor, as well as
local installation conditions.
Horizontal pumps with feet and the driving motor are
fixed on a common base plate.

5.3.5

Fixing the pump aggregate

When the aggregate has been aligned on the founda
tion the fixing bolts should be tightened evenly, alter
nating side to side.
Recommendation: As far as possible, the base plate
should be caston over its entire length with a non
shrinking mortar casting compound.
Note: When castingon and packing with the mortar
casting compound, it must be ensured that the base
plate makes contact with the foundation over its entire
area, and that there are no cavities.

5.4

Checking the coupling alignment

A complete pump aggregate delivered has been
carefully assembled at the factory. After proper
installation, and prior to startup of the pump
aggregate, the alignment of the coupling between the
drive motor and the pump must be checked. The check
is best made with a straightedge and a feeler gauge in
two planes, each offset by 90, on the circumference of
the coupling.

Precise details on form and dimensions are given in the

installation diagram.
Foundation

5.3.1

General
The foundation may be a floor/concrete base or a load
bearing steel foundation frame.
Note: The foundation must be designed so it can take
the weight of the pump aggregate across its entire area.

5.3.2

Characteristiques of a steel foundation frame

A steel foundation frame must be designed so that the
base plate makes contact across its entire area, and
can be bolted or welded down.
If the base plate is only supported at four
points the pump aggregate will hang down
in the middle. This will affect the alignment of the cou
pling and may also lead to severe noise being genera
ted.

VM 460.0008 GB/12.98 IdentNr. 550 102

Foundation

> 750

Ambient temperature at the place of installation

Pump aggregates in enclosed rooms must be installed
such that no heat buildup occurs. If ambient
temperatures above +40C are to be expected,
suitable ventilation must be provided to discharge the
radiated heat and supply adequate fresh air to the
room. Consult the factory if necessary.

5.3

Steel shims

NTT

ALLWEILER
If a height, lateral or angle offset is detected between
the two coupling halves, the drive motor should be
realigned to the pump such that the coupling halves
are flush with each other (level out with flat packing
shims as necessary). The gap between the two
coupling halves must be the same all round the
circumference of the coupling. The specified gap is
shown in the installation diagram. The spacing
between the straightedge laid over both coupling
halves and the respective shaft must be the same all
round the circumference.

5.5

Assembly of pump and drive motor

If the aggregate is only assembled at the place of use,
the coupling is assembled as follows:
1. Coat the pump and motor shaft ends with a fine film
of molybdenum disulfide (e.g. Molykote) and insert
keys.
2. Push on the coupling halves on the pump and motor
side with the aid of a pusher device until the shaft
end is flush to the coupling hub.
If no puller is available, heating the coupling halves
to approx. 100C (without rubber buffer) facilitates
pushing.
The possibility of axial shock stress on
the pump and drive motor components
during assembly of the coupling must be eliminated.
When fitting the coupling halves, brace the pump
shaft on the impeller side and the motor shaft on the
fan side. Dismount the fan hood if necessary.

Straightedge

3. Tighten the grub screw on both coupling hubs.

4. When assembling the pump and motor, make sure
the specified gap between the coupling halves is
maintained (see our installation drawings).
Feeler gauge

5. In the case of horizontally mounted pump

aggregates fixed on a base plate or directly on the
foundation, the coupling must be aligned as
described in Section 5.4.

Fig. 4: Alignment of the coupling with straightedge and

feeler gauge

In place of the straightedge and feeler gauge, the

radial and axial alignment of the coupling can be
checked with dial gauges. This gauging method is used
for couplings with spacers (removable couplings).

6. Mount the contact protection.

According to accident prevention regulations, the
pump must only be operated with a protection
against accidental contact.
5.6

Space required for maintenance and repair

The pump must be accessible from all
sides in order to be able to carry out
necessary visual inspections.
Adequate space must be provided for maintenance
and repair work, in particular for removal of the drive
motor and of the cartridge unit. It must also be ensured
that all pipelines can be attached and removed without
hindrance.

5.7

Laying the pipelines

5.7.1

Nominal widths
The nominal diameters of the pipelines need not
necessarily correspond to those of the inlet and outlet
branch, however, they must not be smaller. Different
nominal diameters of connections and pipelines are to
be compensated by eccentric/centric transition pieces.
Formation of air bags is to be avoided.

Fig. 5: Alignment of the coupling with dial gauges

Note: The permissible axial and radial deviation,

measured on the front face of the coupling and the
coupling circumference respectively, may be max.
0.1 mm, but as far as possible should be kept below
0.05 mm.
When the foundation bolts have been aligned and
tightened the pump/drive motor unit must be able to be
spun by hand without pressure points.
Outofflush errors on the coupling may
lead to heavier wear of the coupling,
antifriction bearing, and the shaft seal. They may even
cause the shaft end break off.

Change of crosssections and directions

Sudden changes of crosssections and directions, as
well as hairpin bends, are to be avoided.
Supports and flange connections
The pipelines must be connected to the pump, stress
free. They must be supported close to the pump and
must allow easy screwingon to avoid twisting. When
the connections are loosened the pipeline must neither
be slanted nor springing, nor must it be under pressure.
Any thermal stresses occurring on the pipelines must
be kept away from the pump by suitable means, e.g.
installing compensators.
Cleaning pipelines prior to attachment
Prior to assembly, all pipeline parts and valves must be
thoroughly cleaned; especially in the case of welded
pipelines, burrs and welding beads must be removed.
Flange gaskets must not protrude inwards. Blanking
flanges, plugs, protective film and/or protective paint on
flanges and seals must be removed completely.

5.8

Safety and control devices

5.8.1

Manometers
Suitable pressure gauges are to be installed in the suction and pressure pipelines.

5.8.2

Thermometers
Thermometers must be provided to monitor the temperature of the delivery fluid.

5.8.3

Safety devices in the inlet, delivery and auxiliary

pipelines
Safety devices in the form of stop valves must be installed in the pipelines, if not already provided, to allow
the pipelines to be shut off and disconnected during
maintenance and repair work.

5.9

Electrical connections
The power supply cables of the coupled drive motor
must be connected by a trained electrician, according
to the motor manufacturers circuit diagram. The applicable VDE regulations and local power company rules
must be observed.
Danger from electrical energy must be eliminated.

5.10

Leak testing of the pumps by the operator

Any leak testing by the operator on the pump must only
be carried out with heattransfer oil.
Testing of the pump with water is not allowed, as it may
cause the groove ball bearing in the bearing housing to
fail prematurely.

Inlet pipeline
In order to avoid the formation of air bags, the inlet pipeline must be laid with a slight inclination to the pump.

5.7.5.1 Stop valve (supply operation)

Close to the pump, a stop valve must be installed in the
inlet pipeline which, during operation, must be completely opened and must not be used for regulating purposes.

Startup/Shutdown
When starting up and shutting down the pump, accident prevention regulations UVV/VBG 64 for
heattransfer plants with organic heattransfer
media, issued by the Employers Liability Insurance Association, must be observed in addition to
the safety regulations in accordance with DIN 4754
and VDI 3033.

6.1

Preparations for (initial) startup

6.1.1

Filling and bleeding the pump in the plant

Prior to starting up, the pump must be bled in the plant.
For this, the plant and the pump must be filled with delivery fluid (see plant manufacturers operating instructions).
During filling with delivery fluid, we recommend slowly
rotating the pump shaft by hand to allow air pockets to
escape into the piping system.
If the pump fails to build up pressure when started up
(see manometer), bleeding must be repeated.
The pump must not run dry, not even for
checking the direction of rotation.

6.1.2

6.2

Startup

6.2.1

Checking the coupling alignment

Prior to starting and after the first runup of the pump to
operating temperature, the coupling alignment is to be
checked. Readjust, if necessary (please refer to Section 5.4 above). The pump shaft must be capable of
being cranked by hand and without any pressure
points.

6.2.2

Starting
To avoid overloading the drive motor, the pump should
be run up only against a closed pressure stop valve during starting.
The stop valve in the inlet pipeline must be fully open.

6.2.3

Drive
Switch on the motor.
Pay attention to productspecific characteristics. Refer
to the operating instructions of the drive motor
manufacturer.

6.2.4

Setting the delivery values of the pump and heatingup of the plant
First, heat the plant to 100 130C with the pump running. For these purposes, the stop valve on the supply
side must be completely opened. The stop valve provided on the outlet side must be opened to such a degree that first, a minimum delivery flow (please refer to
Section 6.2.5 below) is achieved and maintained to
heat the plant with the pump. Operate the plant at this
temperature until any water in the heat transfer oil has
completely steamed out. Thereafter, heat plant up to
operating temperature.
After the operating temperature has been reached,
open the outletside stop valve until the required delivery values are reached.

Filling and bleeding the bearing bracket

Due to the sealing effect of the safety stuffing box, the
bearing bracket must be separately filled with heat
transfer oil.

The plant manufacturers instructions concerning heatingup of the plant have priority over the above general recommendations.
For bleeding and filling, the screw plugs of connections
V and FF are removed and at connection FF, clean heat
transfer oil of the same quality as the liquid pumped is
filled in until same emerges at connection V. In order to
achieve a good flow it may be required to heat up the
heat transfer oil prior to filling. If no further air escapes
at connection V, both connections can be closed again
(please refer to view X in the sectional drawing).
During bleeding of the pump and the plant, hazardous
or environmentally harmful fluid and gas emerging
must be safely collected and discharged.
6.1.3

Control of drive motor direction of rotation

The direction of rotation of the motor must match the
direction of rotation arrow on the pump. The motor can
be briefly switched on to check the direction of rotation.
A wrong direction of rotation impairs delivery and may
damage the pump.
If it is wrong, the direction of rotation of the threephase
motor can be reversed by swapping any two phases.

6.2.5

Maintaining the minimum delivery rate

To prevent cavitation damage as a result of additional
heating of the fluid, the pump should not be run against
the closed stop valve in the pressure pipeline except in
the starting phase.
The following equation is applied to determine the minimum delivery rate:
Output [KW] at rate Q = zero (see characteristic) for the
design impeller diameter [mm] x faktor 0.5 = minimum
delivery rate [m3/h].

6.2.6

Temperature
Sudden temperature shocks are to be avoided.

6.2.7

Higher density or viscosity

If the density or viscosity of the delivery fluid is higher
than foreseen by the design of the pump, the motor may
be overloaded.

NTT

ALLWEILER

6.2.8

Higher delivery rate

If delivery is run at a higher rate than foreseen by the
design of the pump, it is essential to ensure that the existing suction head is still adequate, because otherwise
cavitation and resulting damage may occur.
Condition: NPSHavail. > NPSHreq.
The delivery rate should, as far as possible, not exceed
the value at hopt.

6.2.9

Spare pump
A spare pump belonging to the plant must always be
kept ready for operation. For these purposes, the stop
valve on the supply side must be completely open. The
stop valve on the outlet side must be opened to such a
degree that the pump, filled and bleeded, has operating
temperature.
Note: The pump must be secured against backflow, by
means of a deliveryside check valve for example.
In plants in which impermissible temperature of the heattransfer medium may
arise due to failure of the operating pump, a standby
pump of sufficient output must be provided.
Two independent energy sources must be provided for
the operating and standby pumps.

6.3

Shutdown and Restart

6.3.1

Stopping operation
S Pump runon
Prior to the motor being switching off, the pump must
have sufficient runon when the heating source is
switched off. The delivery fluid temperature must be
reduced to the extent that heat buildup inside the
pump is avoided.
S Pressure pipeline
If a check valve is installed in the pressure pipeline,
the stop valve can remain open. If no check valve is
fitted, the stop valve must be closed.
S Drive
Switch off the motor. Make sure the pump runs down
smoothly and evenly.
S Inlet line
Close stop valve in inlet line.

6.3.2

Restart
Before restarting, check that the pump shaft is at a
standstill. If the stop valve in the delivery pipeline is
leaky, the pump shaft may rotate in reverse direction
due to the backflow of the delivery fluid.
The pump must not be switched on when
the pump shaft is rotating in reverse direction, as this may damage the pump shaft.

6.3.3

Measures in case of prolonged interruption

If a prolonged interruption is intended, and there is a
risk of frost, the pump must be drained and preserved
(see Section 3.3).

Notes:

S The instructions in Section 2, Safety, must be

observed in maintenance and repair work.

1. At a maximum ambient temperature of 35C and a

maximum operating temperature of the thermal oil of
350C, the temperature at the couplingside rolling
bearing is 70C. Higher ambient temperatures and
missing ventilation may cause higher temperatures.

S Regular monitoring and maintenance of the pump

and drive motor increases their service life.

2. In case of temperatures over 70C, the lubrication

period for 15C each temperature rise must be reduced to one half!

The following instructions are generally applicable.

7.1.1

General monitoring

3. Unfavourable operating and ambient conditions

such as dust, high air humidity, aggressive atmosphere etc. may require even shorter lubrication
periods.

1. The pump must not run dry.

2. The minimum delivery rate must always be maintained (see Section 6.2..).

At least after 2 years, the groove ball bearings must be

dismounted and replaced.

3. The drive motor must not be overloaded.

The grease filling for the couplingside rolling bearing

is to be effected as described hereinafter.

4. The mechanical seal must not have any uncontrolled leakage.

1. Fill hollow spaces between the rolling bodies up to

approx. 40% with grease. Depending upon the bearing size, this corresponds to the following grease
quantities.

5. The bearing bracket must always be filled with heat

transfer oil. If the plant and/or pump was drained, the
bearing bracket must be topped up with heat
transfer oil and bleeded again (please refer to Section 6.1.2 above).

7.1.2.2 Shaft seal

Singleacting, maintenance free mechanical seal of
the unbalanced type with premounted safety stuffing
box. A throttling line for lowering the temperature of the
liquid pumped is arranged between mechanical seal
and safety stuffing box.
Even in case of failure of the mechanical seal, these
additional safety elements prevent seepage from
emerging in a hazardous quantity and manner (requirement to DIN 4754).
Heat transfer seepages which may perhaps emerge
from a damaged shaft seal can be drained through
seepage drain LO. Minimal dripping of nonvolatile
media resulting from the functioning of the components
is to be expected.

7.2

Repair (Dismounting and Mounting Instructions)

General
Trained Service fitters are available on request to carry
out mounting and repair work.
Where repairs are carried out by the operators own
personnel or by specialist fitters, it must be ensured that
the pump is fully drained and cleaned.
This particularly applies to pumps which are sent for
repair to our factory or one of our service workshops.
We must refuse acceptance of repair work on pumps
filled with fluid, for the protection of our staff and for
environmental reasons. Otherwise we must invoice the
customer/operator for the costs of environmentally
compatible disposal.
Where repairs are to be carried out on pumps which
have been operated with hazardous substances
and/or
environmentally
harmful
media,
the
customer/operator must inform its own personnel on
site, or our personnel where repairs are returned to our
factory or a service workshop, without being
specifically requested to do so.
In such cases a verification of delivery material, for
example in the form of a DIN safety data sheet, must be
submitted to us together with the request for a Service
fitter.
Alternatively, you can request a certificate of safety
(form no. 448/191) from our Service department, filling
it out truthfully, correctly and in full. Send the completed
form to the center commissioned with carrying out the
repair, or hand it to our Service fitter.

At the site, it must be assured by the operator that the

seepages drained through seepage drain LO are safely
and completely collected in a closed tank. This applies
in particular when operating with toxic heattransfer
oils.
Due to the special design of the cartridgeunit pump,
the temperature is reduced to such an extent that
proper functioning of the bearing and shaft seal is assured. In the event of heavy leakage due to wear, the
mechanical seal should be replaced.
As dry running of the mechanical seal must
be avoided, the pump may be started in a
filled and vented condition only.
7.1.2.3 Coupling
Following initial startup, after first heating of the pump
to operating temperature and at regular intervals, the
alignment of the coupling and the condition of the flexible elements in the coupling is to be checked (please
refer to Section 5.4 above).
Note: Worn flexible elements are to be replaced.
