Preservation and Intermediate Storage of the Pump
The pump has been provided with a preservative either according to the customer's
specification or as detailed in the operation manual. For a longer-term storage of the
pump, special preservative measures are to be taken.
Prior to delivery, shaft ends have been equipped with protection caps for protection
against dirt and damage. The connecting flanges of pump casing and supply / auxiliary
connections are provided with flange covers or protection caps for protection against
contamination. Protection caps and flange covers must not be removed during
intermediate storage.
Having been packed into seaworthy cases for their transport, the pumps can be stored
for a period of up to one year in their packing without special measures having to be
taken. Nevertheless, to avoid damage to the anti-friction bearings in the pumps owing to
vibrations, e. g. due to machines operated in close vicinity, the pumps should be stored
in rooms free of vibrations.
For intermediate storage, parts of the following low-alloy components must be treated
with a preservative:
bare shaft ends of drive shafts

surfaces of the pump casing made of cast steel GP240GH (1.0619) that are in
contact with the pumped liquid
Concerning the anti-friction bearings it is understood that the lubricant in them will not
be adversely affected during a one-year storage period provided the pumps are stored
appropriately. If possible, the pumps should be turned by hand once a month during the
storage period.
Commercially available preservatives can be used. For application and removal of the
preservative, specific instructions given by the respective manufacturer must be
observed. Preservation will protect the material for about 1 year. In case of a longer
storage period, preservation must be renewed.
The storage area must be dry and free of dust.
Any plain metal parts must be oil- or grease-lubricated for protection against corrosion.
When storing pumps equipped with their driving motors, equally observe the instructions
concerning preservation and storage given in the operation manual covering the driving
motor.
ATTENTION
For outdoor storage, the pump unit must be provided

with a water-proof cover.

Constructive Design
The centrifugal pump type SLM NHO is a single-stage, single-entry, horizontal radial
flow centrifugal pump with magnet drive. The pump casing is of centerline design.
From impeller size 315 will also be intermediate lantern centerline executed.
In the case of the magnet-drive pump, the pump power is transmitted from the driving
motor via the magnet drive to the impeller. The magnet drive transmits the torque
without slip and hermetically seals the product chamber from the atmosphere. The
isolation shell between the two magnet rotors forms the static sealing.
3.1
Hydraulic Component
Essentially, the hydraulic component comprises the impeller and the pump casing.
Within the hydraulic component, the mechanical shaft output is transformed into
hydraulic power. The pump shaft runs on journal bearings. The journal bearings are
made of stellite / carbon or SSIC / carbon and lubricated by the pumped liquid. The
product-side magnet rotor is mounted on the shaft that it drives.
3.2
Magnet Drive
The magnet drive hermetically seals the hydraulic component from the driving
component on the atmosphere. The magnet drive comprises the inner and outer
magnet rotors and the isolation shell. The isolation located between the two rotors seals
the system. The power transfer is effected without slip.
3.3
Driving Component
The outer magnet rotor is fastened to the drive shaft. The shaft runs on oil-lubricated
anti-friction bearings and is fitted with a labyrinth sealing. The bearing support is
screwed on the intermediate lantern, the pump comes with a bare shaft end.
Being installed between the bearing support and the hydraulic component, the thermal
barrier assures dissipation of heat generated during operation in this area. Thus, antifriction bearing temperatures in the area of the area of the driving component are
reduced when hot liquids are pumped.
BA/EN-36900-04/02
Page 3 of 3

4.
Construction Variants
4.1
Heated Pump H1 and/or H2
The pumps are equipped with a heating jacket on the pump casing (H1) and / or with a
heating jacket in the intermediate lantern (H2). Both heating jackets can be connected
with a bypass-line or designed as separate heatings.
In the standard construction, the heating jackets are designed for a working pressure of
16 bar at 200C (vapour) or 6 bar at 350C (heat transfer oil).
The heating jackets may also be used for cooling purposes.
4.2
Internal Filter F
When processing liquids containing solids, the internal filter ensures that no particles of
solid matter exceeding a defined size enter the flush flow channels and thus reach the
magnet drive and the journal bearings respectively.
4.3
External Feeding and Flushing Connections E1 and E2
The external connections permit the external flushing, feeding or venting of the pump.
Connection E1 is used when the constant external feeding of the magnet drive is
required. Connection E2 is suitable for short-time flushing or external venting of the
magnet drive.
4.4
Double Isolation Shell D
When a high level of safety is required, the pump can be equipped with a double-skin
isolation shell. The isolation shell actually consists of two isolation shells with one of
them put into the other. Each of the two isolation shells is designed to meet the
requirements of the specified operation conditions. If one of them should fail, the system
still remains sealed. The space between the two shells can be monitored.
4.5
Inducer J
When NPSH values prevailing in the plant are very low, inducers are used in many
cases. They considerably reduce the pumps NPSH throughout the pumps entire
operation range without modifying the pumps characteristics. In most cases, it will be
possible to retrofit pumps in the plant with an inducer without requiring major
modification works.

General Instructions
Prior to installation, the pump should be checked for any damage it might have suffered
during transport. The flange covers may only be removed right before installation.
When turning the pump shaft by hand, abradant noises may be heard from within the
pump. These noises result from the grease-free assembly of the journal bearings.
Having filled the pump with the pumped liquid, these noises will disappear.
KLAUS UNION cannot be held responsible for any damage resulting from inexpert
installation.
The pictorial representations have been simplified.
Prior to installing the pump with the pertaining driving motor in

areas subject to explosion hazards, ensure that the entire
equipment has been approved for the prevailing explosion
protection zone.
Instructions given in the operation manuals of the driving motor

and the flexible coupling are to be observed.
The installation of electrical equipment is exclusively to be

performed by qualified staff. Any regulations valid at the time are
to be observed.

pacemaker should not stay close to the magnet drive or come
into close bodily contact with parts of it.

Installation Conditions
Arrange pipework and equipment pertaining to the pump in a way to have enough
space available for assembly and maintenance works. For dimensions of the pump refer
to the attached installation plan.
The concrete foundation must have set before the pump is placed on it. The surface of
the foundation must be plane and level.
3.
Installation of SLM NHO
3.1
Installation of the Completely Assembled Unit
The complete unit mounted on the base plate comprises pump, motor and flexible
coupling. The coupling guard covering the flexible coupling serves as a protection
against accidental contact.
Install the unit according to the installation plan and align it using a spirit level. Insert the
foundation bolts in the foundation and grout them with a fast setting grout-mixture. Once
the grout mixture has set, tighten the foundation bolts fast always applying the same
tightening moment.
3.2
Installation of the Partially Assembled Unit
In case the pump unit is not supplied as a complete unit but in sub-assemblies such as
pump, coupling, motor and base plate, the installation is effected as described
hereafter:
Insert the key into the key groove of the motor-side shaft end. Fit the motor-side
coupling half on the shaft by means of a standard draw-on device. The same procedure
is to be followed for the pump-side coupling half.
Align the axial distance between motor- and pump-side coupling halves according to the
dimensions given in the installation plan. Compensate vertical shaft displacements by
using plane-parallel shims.
Eliminate any misalignment of both coupling halves. Put a straight-edge on approx. 4
opposite points on the circumference of the coupling and observe the u. m. drawings.
The radial and axial variance between the two coupling halves must not exceed a
maximum of 0.1 mm.

Compensate a vertical displacement by placing underneath or removing plan-parallel

shims. Fix pump and motor on the base plate with the bolts provided for that purpose.
Install the completely assembled and aligned unit according to the installation plan and
align it using a spirit level. Insert the foundation bolts in the foundation and grout them
with a fast setting grout-mixture. Once the grout mixture has set, tighten the foundation
bolts fast always applying the same tightening moment.

3.3
Installation of Pumps Designed for Higher Liquid Temperatures
With pumps processing liquids at a working temperature exceeding 100C, a

misalignment can occur in the flexible coupling due to the different thermal expansion of
motor and pump. The excessive misalignment can result in vibrations and higher wear
on the flexible coupling and the anti-friction bearings.
For the correct installation of the unit, the pump must be operated in the plant to achieve
its working temperature. Having shut down the unit, check the axial and radial shaft
misalignment of both coupling halves. Prior to measuring the shaft misalignment,
release the bolts of the support (part no. 901.6). If any shaft misalignment is assessed,
it must be compensated by putting plane-parallel shims underneath motor and/or
support.
4.
Pipework
Any pipework being connected should be state of the art and designed for the
respective operating conditions. Ensure that the forces and moments transmitted by the
pipework do not exceed the admissible values. (Admissible pipework forces and
moments will be indicated in the following).
The pipework must be free of any impurities such as weld slag or scale. Avoid
disturbance of the pump flow by variable velocity or irrational flow to the pump inlet.
Such disturbances will adversely affect the pump capacity, the smooth operation and
the NPSH characteristics of the pump.
When connecting the pipework make sure that as little tension as possible occurs. Refer
to instructions such as given in VDMA standard VDMA 24277 Spannungsarmer
Rohrleitungsanschlu (Low-tension connection of pipework).
Exceeding the admissible pipework forces and moments as well
as tensions on the connections can result in escapes and
leakages. In such a case, toxic and hot liquids will pose danger
to life.
BA/EN-36900-05/02
Page 5 of 9
07/2008
4.1
Suction-Side Pipework
The construction of the suction-side pipework shall have as few baffles (bends, valves,
etc.) as possible because these elements are often responsible for variable velocity and
eddying. Avoid disturbances by asymmetric feed stream. When modifying nominal
diameters use conical sections. If a shut-off valve is used, it must always be completely
open during operation and it must never be used to control the rate of flow.
Always install the suction pipe ascending to the pump. When dimensioning the suction
pipe, ensure that the flow velocity does not exceed 2 m/s.
Feed pipes must be installed descending to the pump. The flow velocity must not
exceed 2.5 m/s.
For liquids being processed close to their boiling point, the flow velocity shall not exceed
0.8 m/s.
4.2
Pressure Pipework
Right behind the pump, a control valve must be available to control the rate of flow. A
check valve must be provided between pump and shut-off valve when long pressure
pipework or static delivery heads exceeding 10 m are given. The check valve protects
the pump against liquid reflux and runback at shutdown. The flow velocity shall not
exceed 5 m/s.
When modifying nominal diameters use conical sections.
5.
Admissible Forces and Moments
The forces and moments the pipework transmits on the pump flanges must not exceed
the values indicated. The values have been determined on the basis of DIN ISO 5199
Centrifugal pumps, technical requirements, class II (Edition December 2003).
The values indicated apply to pump casings PN16 up to a temperature of 400C.

Auxiliary Connections
Depending on the construction type, the pump can be equipped with connections for
heating, draining and monitoring. Refer to the installation plan attached to the pump for
the exact location of those connections.
If the pump is fitted with a heating jacket, the temperature of the
heating medium must not exceed the maximum allowable surface
temperature of the pump.
The ignition temperature of the heating liquid must be at least by

50C higher than the maximum surface temperature of the pump.
The instruments for the monitoring of the pump such as

temperature sensors, pressure sensors, etc. must have the
corresponding approval for use in areas subject to explosion
hazards.
7.
Insulation
Exclusively insulate the pump in the area shown below.
It is to be made sure that the areas of the anti-friction bearings
and the thermal barrier (in case the pump is fitted with one) are
not insulated.

Preparations for Commissioning

The correct functioning of the journal bearings is a precondition
to prevent the outer magnet carrier from running into the
intermediate lantern and thus to prevent the occurrence of
unacceptably high temperatures.
If the pump was not explicitly ordered free from oil and grease,
there will be residues of anti-seize paste on wetted components.
Prior to commissioning, compatibility of the anti-seize paste with
the pumped liquid shall be checked.
In case of uncertainty, please contact KLAUS UNION.
1.1
Bearing Support with Oil-Lubricated Anti-Friction Bearings
In case of pumps of bearing-support construction equipped with

oil-lubricated anti-friction bearings, the bearing support must be
filled with lubricating oil prior to initial commissioning.
Always observe the prescribed oil level. The oil level being either
too high or too low will result in failure of the anti-friction
bearings.
For recommended types of oil refer to section "Maintenance" of this operation manual.

Construction with Constant-Level-Oiler
To fill with oil, remove vent plug (part no. 672). Fill oil into the bearing support (part no.
330) until the oil becomes visible in the screwed socket with the oil reservoir folded
back. Check the oil level: half of the gauge (part no. 642) must be covered with oil. Then
fill the oil reservoir through the chamfered drain pipe and fold it back. Now the oil level
adjusts to the required level. As long as there is oil in the oil reservoir, the ConstantLevel-Oiler will ensure that the oil level is always correct.

Checking the Direction of Rotation
The motor's direction of rotation must correspond with the direction-of-rotation arrow on
the intermediate lantern.
Only check the direction of rotation with the motor uncoupled.
1.3
Filling and Venting
Filling and venting of pump and plant are carried out simultaneously. Prior to filling the
pump, fully open any valves in suction and pressure pipes. During the filling process
turn the pump shaft by hand. For that purpose, the current feed to the motor must be
interrupted and the coupling guard removed. No air pockets must remain in the system.
Air and gas pockets will result in the immediate failure of the pump.

When a pump is operated which has not been completely filled,

an ignition source can develop due to excessive heat input. When
being operated in areas subject to explosion hazards, the pump
must be completely filled. If the operating company cannot
ensure the complete filling of the pump, appropriate monitoring
measures must be taken.
If it is not possible to vent the pump via the pressure pipe, e. g. because a check valve
is installed in the pipe, the pump must be vented via a separate ventilating valve on the
discharge side.
2.
Monitoring Equipment
When the pump is operated in areas subject to explosion hazards,
it may be necessary for the operating company to install
monitoring devices to ensure that the pump does not become an
ignition source. Essentially, ignition sources are hot surfaces and
sparks (when rotating components contact). If required, KLAUS
UNION can offer advice and support concerning the choice and
purchase of monitoring equipment.
For installation, commissioning and operation of the monitoring equipment observe the
corresponding operation manuals supplied with the instruments.
3.
Commissioning
Completely open all suction-side shut-off valves and slightly open the control valve in
the pressure pipe.
To prevent the pump from excessively heating up, never operate
it against closed control valve on the discharge side. For start-up,
the discharge-side control valve must be sufficiently open for the
minimum rate of flow Qmin.
If for operating reasons it is only possible to commission the pump against closed
discharge-side control valve, it is to be checked with the help of the following equation,
whether the resulting heating of the pump during operation against closed gate valve is
allowable:

At the most, the pump can be operated against closed gate valve on the discharge side
until the allowable pump temperature is reached.
Switch on the motor.
If the delivery pressure does not increase despite rising speed, the pump has to be
switched off immediately and vented again carefully.
When the pressure gauge indicates delivery pressure, slowly open the control valve in
the pressure pipe until the duty point is reached. The rate of flow can be increased in
accordance with the characteristic curve until a point is reached where the motor would
be overloaded.
In case either the operation parameters are modified or they no longer correspond with
the ones stipulated in the order (delivery head, rate of flow Qmin and Qmax, viscosity,
density, liquid temperature), it is to be checked whether:
the magnet drive is still sufficient,

the motor is not overloaded,
on suction condition the suction head to be overcome does not get too high,
on feed condition the available feed head is still sufficient,
The maximum allowable temperature is not exceeded.

With liquid temperatures exceeding 100 C it must be observed

that during commissioning or in case of varying operating
conditions the maximum speed in temperature changing does
not exceed 25 C per minute.
On initial start-up, operate the pump for at least 3 hours under

operation conditions while checking for unusual noises and high
temperatures on the pump surface. Measure the surface
temperature with commercially available surface temperature
meters.
In rare cases it may happen during acceleration of the pump that

the magnet drive desynchronises ("breakaway of magnet drive").
This condition can be detected by monitoring the delivery head,
capacity and pump power output. Operation of the pump with a
desynchronised magnet drive can cause excessive temperatures.

Minimum and Maximum Rate of Flow
Unless otherwise indicated in the pumps data sheet, the following limiting values should
be observed:

General
Please observe the instructions given in the section "Safety" of this operation manual
when carrying out any maintenance works.
During the guarantee period, any maintenance works are either to be performed by
KLAUS UNION staff or with KLAUS UNION's authorisation. Dismantling and Reassembly of the centrifugal pump type SLM NHO have to be carried out by qualified
staff.
pacemaker should not stay close to the magnet drive or come into
close bodily contact with parts of it.
Pumps processing dangerous liquids are to be decontaminated.

When draining the pump, any danger to persons and environment
must be precluded.
On principle, the driving motor must have been de-energized prior

to effecting any works on pumps. Unintentional energizing of the
pump must be precluded.
2.
Lubrication of Bearings
2.1
Journal Bearings
The journal bearings are lubricated by the pumped liquid. When the pump is operated to
its designated use, the journal bearings will be provided with a sufficient quantity of
lubricant and they will be resistant to wear and maintenance-free. Concerning
monitoring of operation to designated use, refer to instructions given in sub-section
Inspection and Maintenance.
If the pump has run dry unintentionally, the pump must be allowed
to cool down for a longer time. If the pump is filled with cold liquid
immediately upon its dry-running, the journal bearings may be
destroyed.
After longer periods of dry-running, the pump must be dismantled
and the journal bearings must be checked for any damage.

2.2
Anti-Friction Bearings
To avoid the anti-friction bearings becoming an ignition source,

the anti-friction bearings must be maintained according to the
instructions given in the operation manual.
The anti-friction bearings are designed for a rated working life of 25000 hours at a
bearing temperature of 90C. Replace the anti-friction bearings after 90 % of their
service life at the latest. However, the working life of the bearings can reduce due to
higher bearing temperatures and unfavourable operating conditions (strong vibrations,
aggressive environmental conditions, etc.).
2.2.1

Inspection and Maintenance
3.1
Inspection during Operation

To prevent the occurrence of ignition sources, which can be
caused by failures and result in an explosion, the operating
company has to take measures for monitoring the pump.
Failures occurring during operation can cause the occurrence of an ignition source on
the pump that can lead to an explosion when an explosive atmosphere is given.
Examples for ignition sources: hot surfaces, sparks and discharge by electrostatic
charging. The following table lists possible malfunctions and measures to prevent that
these malfunctions result in the occurrence of an ignition source:

3.1.1
Monitoring of the Pump Output
The pump power input indicates whether the pump is operated to its designated use.
Moreover, any malfunctions or damage to the pump can be inferred from the pump
output. KLAUS UNION recommend the use of appropriate monitoring instruments in
areas subject to explosion hazards as well as in non-hazardous locations and offer such
devices on request. The instruments will be installed in the control cabinet and thus do
not have to be approved for hazardous areas.
3.1.2
Monitoring the Isolation Shell Temperature
Many malfunctions have a direct effect on the temperature of the isolation shell. As the
surface temperature on the outside of the isolation shell can be a direct ignition source
in hazardous areas, it is recommended to use an instrument to monitor the isolation
shell temperature particularly when the pump is used in hazardous areas.
KLAUS UNION can offer suitable instruments for that purpose.
3.1.3
Vibration Monitoring
The measuring of vibrations is particularly suitable to monitor the anti-friction bearings.

Refer to the table for the allowable rate of vibrations. The rate of vibrations has to be
measured horizontally and vertically to the shaft axis on the coupling-side end of the
bearing support. If the rates of vibrations thus determined exceed the maximum
allowable values, the cause has to be found.

Re-Assembly
Prior to re-assembly, check the usability of all pump components. During assembly, the
anti-friction bearings must be protected from dirt and moisture. Any sealing surfaces are
to be cleaned carefully, used static gaskets are to be replaced by new ones. Check the
clearances and the journal bearing for wear as indicated above.
Fitting surfaces and screwed connections have to be coated with graphite or a similar
agent. Where components in contact with the liquid are concerned, make sure that the
antiseize agent used is compatible with the pumped liquid.
When replacing the outer magnet carrier tube and/or outer

magnet carrier hub by original spare parts, this unit must be
assembled prior to balancing. (Balancing quality class G 6.3 to
DIN ISO 1940).
