Foreword

This guide provides directions for the successful installation, operation, and maintenance of the TRINITY Pumpworks LLC, TRILOY Xtreme (T3) and High-Chrome (HC) 14x12x22 blender pumps. Pump system conditions and applications can vary considerably in each specific installation. This manual cannot cover all situations, but is intended to provide general guidance and serve as a reference. Should questions develop, or issues occur, contact the TRINITY Pumpworks LLC Distributor or Salesman in your area.

The TRINITY 14x12x22 blender pumps are designed to provide extended service life through better materials, heavier fluid end parts, custom dimensional assembly, heavier shaft bearings, reduced hydraulic loads and superior coating wear resistance where applicable.

Many principles of proper centrifugal pump installation, operation and maintenance when correctly applied, can enhance reliability of the pump and subsequently overall system performance. This guide contains recommendations for enhanced blender pump reliability and performance not only in oilfield, but also general industrial applications.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

1. Operate pumps only in performance ranges for which they were designed.

2. Packed pumps should be adjusted so that there is minimal leakage while maintaining thermal equilibrium.

3. When operating in any type of slurry, prevent packing drippings from

hardening around the slinger, front seal area, drip pan drains.

4. Oiler installed pumps should be monitored for reservoir fluid level.

CAUTION READ THE SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL BEFORE PUMP

INSTALLATION AND STARTUP AND DO NOT IGNORE ANY WARNINGS. USE ONLY APPROVED PRACTICES, MATERIALS AND TOOLS.

DO NOT PERMIT ANY OPERATIONS OF QUESTIONABLE SAFETY. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH RECOMMENDATIONS STATED IN THIS MANUAL COULD CAUSE

DAMAGE TO THE PUMP, COMPONENTS, ATTACHMENTS, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR DEATH.

WARNING

BEFORE SERVICING PUMPS:

BEFORE PERFORMING ANY SERVICE, BE CERTAIN THAT THE UNIT IS SEPARATED FROM ITS POWER SOURCE AND ANY FORM OF ENERGY IS LOCKED OUT FROM THE EQUIPMENT.

SHUT DOWN ALL PUMP ACCESSORY EQUIPMENT.

THIS INCLUDES ELECTRICAL OR MECHANICAL ENERGY INTO OR FROM THE PRIME MOVER(S), PNEUMATIC ENERGY FROM THE COMPRESSOR/AIR SYSTEM, ETC.

RELIEVE ALL PRESSURE FROM THE LINES PRIOR TO REMOVING PIPING.

WARNING WHEN THE PUMP IS USED FOR MATERIALS THAT SETTLE OR SOLIDIFY THE PUMP SHOULD BE FLUSHED AFTER EACH USE. IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES, THE PUMP SHOULD BE COMPLETELY DRAINED BETWEEN USES. BEFORE PUMP OPERATION CHECK ALL FASTENERS FOR LOOSENING CAUSED BY VIBRATION OR GASKET CREEP.

FAILURE TO ISOLATE POWER SOURCES, AND RELIEVE STORED ENERGY FROM THE PUMP BEFORE SERVICING CAN RESULT IN

SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE

Installation

LOCATION

Pumps should be located as near their liquid source as possible so that the suction line will be short, direct, and limit the number of fittings. Do not reduce line size. The pump should be located below the level of the liquid to reduce priming difficulty.

FOUNDATION

Foundations should be suitably rigid and substantial to mitigate any vibration while permanently and uniformly supporting the base plate. Grouted foundations, poured on solid footings of adequately thick concrete to support the entire pump unit, offer the most suitable foundation. Base plates should be installed in a level position. (e.g. Figure 1)

When fabricated bases or fabricated skid bases are utilized, foundations should be sufficiently rigid to absorb any vibration, and leveled to support the base at all points.

Figure 1

- 8 -

PUMP TO DRIVER ALIGNMENT

Extended reliability and service life of any pump and driver requires good alignment through the coupling. The pump and driver alignment should be inspected after installation to ensure transportation or handling has not caused misalignment. Poor shaft alignment can cause decreased performance, vibration and catastrophic failure of the couplings, pumps, motors, bearings or shafts possibly leading to severe injury or death. Proper shaft alignment is the responsibility of the end user and installer of the unit.

Final Cold alignment is recommended after the base is in position, base bolting is tightened to specified torque, grouting, piping is installed, and flange bolts have been tightened to their specified torque. Final Hot Alignment is done with the unit at standard operating temperature.

The recommended procedure for shaft alignment is with the use of a laser shaft alignment tool. Lacking this equipment an acceptable job can be performed with a dial indicator. To measure angular misalignment, the indicator is positioned so that the tip or button rests on the face, near the O.D., of the other coupling half. (Figure 2). To measure offset misalignment the dial indicator is attached to one coupling half with the indicator tip or button resting on the O.D. of the other coupling half. (Figure 3) Rotate the shaft and dial indicator one full revolution while keeping the opposite shaft stationary and note the Total Indicator Reading. Check with your specific coupling manufacturer or vendor for acceptable limits for the specific size and type coupling used. Adjust the alignment by loosening driver (preferred) or pump mounting bolts and shimming and retightening as required. Utilize best shimming practices.

Where dial indicator equipment is not available, alignment can possibly be performed with a straightedge but is not recommended. Angular misalignment can be checked by measuring the gap between coupling face halves with feeler gauges. (Figure 2A) To check offset misalignment, lay the straightedge in line with the shafts on the O.D.'s of the coupling halves. (Figure 3A) Gaps under the straightedge should be measured with feeler gauges and compared to acceptable coupling manufacturer maximum recommended values. Check two locations 90° apart.

PIPING

General

Piping must not be connected to the pump until the concrete or grout has hardened, if used, and the foundation and pump hold down bolts have been tightened. Piping should be anchored as close as possible to, while being independent of the pump. Pipe companion flanges should line up naturally to pump flanges without lateral offset or angularity. Do not draw piping to the pump with flange bolts. To reduce induced stresses on the pump frame and fluid end TRINITY Pumpworks LLC recommends the use of expansion joints on suction and discharge piping. Expansion joints will isolate the pump from piping external forces such as thermal expansion/contraction and vibration. Laser pipe alignment tools can provide significant benefits to the successful installation and shaft alignment.

Suction

It is critical that suction piping is correctly selected and installed to eliminate vibration and cavitation in the pump and surrounding system. Excessive vibration can cause packing problems, mechanical seal damage, and unnecessary bearing loads. The suction lines should be the same size or larger than the pump suction inlet. The capacity of a centrifugal pump should never be adjusted by throttling the suction line. A positive shut-off valve (of a type to cause negligible turbulence) should be installed in the suction line to permit closing and allow pump removal for inspections and maintenance. The suction line should be designed to eliminate air entrainment between the pump and the supply source. The suction line should have a straight length section into the pump equivalent to a minimum of five times its nominal diameter (e.g. 14” suction; 70” straight run) to eliminate possible hydraulic instabilities in the impeller. Make sure to eliminate the potential for vortices in the suction source. Fittings, valves, and elbows too close to the impeller can induce uneven flow patterns or vapor separation which in turn can keep the fluid from evenly filling the impeller. This can upset hydraulic balance leading to vibration, possible cavitation, and excessive shaft deflection which may cause shaft breakage or premature bearing failure.

Discharge

To allow inspection and maintenance of the pump a positive shut-off valve should be placed in the discharge piping. Piping should be independently supported and accurately aligned. If operating conditions are not known with adequate accuracy, it will be necessary to provide a throttle valve or bypass line on the discharge line to ensure that the pump operates at the design point. If the pump is connected to a pressurized system, or the discharge piping has sufficient vertical height, it is imperative to install a check valve between the pump discharge and the throttling valve to prevent back flow.

Startup Preparation

MECHANICAL SEALS

The seals are installed at the factory and adjusted. To appropriately prepare the seal for operation, cooling and flushing flows from an outside source may be required and need to be connected. Connect cooling and flushing flows to seal and be sure it is turned on before starting the pump if necessary. Packing will need final adjustment to minimize leakage while maintaining thermal equilibrium.

WARNING

NEVER OPERATE A PUMP WITH MECHANICAL SEAL "DRY"- FAILURE WILL OCCUR!

WARNING

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE ROTATION OF THE DRIVER BE CHECKED BEFORE CONNECTING THE SHAFT COUPLING. INCORRECT ROTATION OF THE PUMP FOR EVEN A BRIEF TIME, MAY DAMAGE THE IMPELLER, SHAFT, OR BEARING HOUSING. THE PUMP SHAFT MUST TURN

CLOCKWISE WHEN VIEWED FROM THE DRIVER END.

START-UP CHECKLIST

Check the following items before pump startup

1. Pump rotates freely by hand. 2. Shaft alignment. 3. Suction valve fully open. 4. Pump and suction line full of fluid. 5. Add water to Mechanical Seal Carrier or gland flush, if required. 6. Discharge valve is slightly open, not fully open. Open the discharge valve to design point

after the pump is running.

- 11 -

Operation

PRIMING THE PUMP

Vent air from the suction line, pump, and discharge line as necessary to fill with liquid. Start the pump with the discharge valve cracked open. After discharge pressure stabilizes, gradually open the discharge valve to the required position. If flow is lost, close the discharge valve and wait a few seconds for the discharge pressure to build. Continued flow difficulty can indicate improper selection, or installation.

Running the pump improperly primed may severely damage or destroy the mechanical seal elements due to heat generated at the interface between stationary and rotating seal components. Do not run the pump with the suction or discharge valves closed AT ANY TIME! Thermal shock may crack the seal elements if the temperature is raised from room temperature to 250° F and can occur in less than 30 seconds.

WARNING LACK OF NET POSITIVE SUCTION HEAD MEASURED IN FEET, OF THE SPECIFIC LIQUID BEING

PUMPED AT ANY SPECIFIC OPERATIONAL POINT, WILL CAUSE THE PUMP TO OPERATE IMPROPERLY AND CAUSE CAVITATION.

MAXIMUM OPERATING CONDITIONS

PUMP SPEED LIMITATIONS

Pump Size Bearing Lubricant Max RPM Allowable

14 x 12 (Grease) 1400

With the large shaft and bearings used in this pump, the above limitations must be observed to control bearing operating temperature. It may be necessary to run water over the exposed shaft to prevent excessive heat buildup at the bearing’s maximum hydraulic performance in accordance with published performance curves.

- 12 -

LUBRICATION

Bearings (Grease) - Bearings are pre-lubricated from the factory and in low speed, low temperature application may need no lubrication throughout the life of the pump. In heavy loads and hot applications, the bearings should be lubricated at regular intervals for maximum bearing life. The bearings are lubricated with CRC Sta-Lube Sta-Plex extreme pressure grease at the factory. When re-lubricating, the same grease would be the best choice since mixing greases can cause incompatibility problems. A lithium complex, NLGI 2, extreme pressure/temperature grease are the primary specifications at a minimum. When using the premium bearing grease listed above or its equivalent, consult your bearing manufacturer for greasing schedules. The manufacturer recommendation in ounces should be converted to number of strokes with your specific grease gun for accuracy. The shaft should be rotated while adding grease. Over greasing should be avoided so as not to cause over-heating. An ultrasonic grease gun is recommended.

Packing Gland - The Packing Gland may be re-lubricated as often as necessary to prevent the packing from over-heating. Grease should be pumped into the Gland while turning the shaft until it comes out around the packing gland.

Outboard Lip Seals - The outboard bearing cover is supplied With a Zerk fitting. This is designed to create a grease barrier between the outboard lip seals and should be greased prior to wash down and per recommended grease schedule determined by operational characteristics.

PUMP RECORDS

Maintain data cards or pump records whenever possible. This will provide ready access to information for possible spare parts and evaluating pump and mechanical seal performance.

Information to be included in these records should be: a) Pump size and serial number b) Pump model number, material of construction, and part number. c) HP and speed of operation. d) Service conditions. e) Frequency of operation f) Record of maintenance, lubrication, including parts usage and general pump conditions. g) Nomenclature and part number of replacement items.

Maintenance

DISASSEMBLY

Loosen packing gland bolts. Remove packing gland halves. (Oiler removal and refurbishment of pumps so equipped, will require removal of mechanical seal carrier.)

Pull any packing from the Mechanical Seal Carrier bore.

Remove the powerframe retaining nuts. Remove the powerframe.

Restrain the shaft at the coupling end to prevent rotation while removing the impeller. Note: The nose cone and jam nut have a locking screw that must be backed off, and will also require heating to 480°F overcome the installation Loctite before they are removed.

Remove the shaft sleeve. A wedge may be driven between the end of the sleeve and the shoulder on the shaft to free the sleeve. It the pump has a mechanical seal that does not need to be replaced, care must be taken to avoid damaging or dropping the extremely fragile rotating mechanical seal ring when removing the sleeve. Note: If the disassembly is being performed to replace or install a mechanical seal and/or shaft sleeve only, no further disassembly is required. See Mechanical Seal installation instructions.

Remove the Mechanical Seal Carrier bolts.

Separation of oiler, if so equipped, from Mechanical Seal carrier should be performed at this time.

Remove the Mechanical Seal Carrier from the Powerframe by tapping on the back side in the area where the carrier fits into the frame, with a dead blow hammer. Alternatively, a small chisel or pry bar may be used on the mating OD, making sure to alternate sides repetitively as it is eased out. Note: If the disassembly being performed does not require the replacement of the mechanical seal, the stationary seal should not be removed from the Mechanical Seal Carrier.

Remove oiler if so equipped, and slinger.

Remove the four bolts on the outboard bearing housing. Two of these are bolts threaded into the frame. The complete shaft and bearing sub-assembly can now be pulled from the frame.

Remove the outboard bearing cover. Bend the tab on the lock washer back and remove the locknut and lock washer.

Remove the bearing housing and bearings from the shaft. The inboard bearing may now be pressed off the shaft.

- 14 -

INSPECTION

IMPELLER - Replace impeller if it shows excessive erosion (especially on the pump-out vanes on the back of the impeller), extreme wear, or vane breakage.

SHAFT - Check for runout to see that the shaft has not been bent. If runout exceeds .003”, replace the shaft. Bearing seat area and oil seal area must be smooth and free of scratches or grooves. Shaft threads must be in good condition, if necessary, replace shaft. Proper inspection requires precision shaft rollers and dial indicating equipment.

SHAFT SLEEVE - Sleeve surface in the stuffing box must be smooth and free of grooves. If grooved, replace.

MECHANICAL SEAL - Seal faces, gaskets, and shaft sleeve surfaces must be in perfect condition or excessive leakage may result. Replace worn or damaged parts.

BALL BEARINGS – Replace if worn, loose, or rough and noisy when rotated. New bearings should not be unwrapped until ready for use. Replacement bearings must be of the proper size and type as supplied with the original equipment.

SEALS - It is recommended that all O-rings and gaskets removed during disassembly be replaced. In those cases where new seals are not available, the old ones can be reused it they are not torn or otherwise damaged.

GENERAL - All parts should be cleaned before assembly. This is particularly important for retaining rings and O-ring grooves, threads, gasket surfaces, bearings and bearing lubricated areas. Any burrs should be removed with Emery cloth.

ASSEMBLY

SHAFT BEARING INSTALLATION

Clean shaft thoroughly. Heat bearings uniformly to 200° F for 30 minutes. Heating temperature should not exceed 250° F and only be done with an induction heater, not a torch. Install the duplex bearings first. Install bearing with the letters out so that the bearings will assemble back to-back. Slip bearing "A" with the lettering towards bearing "B". 14 x 12 Pump bearings come as a set. Alignment “V” on O.D. Signify relationship. Point V toward impeller. While bearings are still hot, install locknut on threads to seal the bearings tight. Install bearing housing from impeller end onto the duplex bearings until it shoulders. Slip double row bearings on shaft. Allow bearings to cool. Then retighten the locknut to take up any clearance resulting from the cool-down. Remove the locknut and install the lock washer. Follow the bearing manufacturer’s instructions for pre-load. Seat the locking tab. Install O-ring on bearing housing. Follow the bearing manufacturer’s instructions for initial greasing.

INSTALLING REAR BEARING COVER

Install both seals with lips towards center of the cover. Fill each grease seal cavity and lips with grease before installing the cover. Slip O-ring over the guide diameter of the cover. Install grease Zerk fitting if necessary. Slip entire cap over the shaft, being careful not to damage the seals over the sharp edge of the keyway. Install 3/8" washers and bolts and tighten cover securely against bearings. Apply 20 ft. lbs. torque.

INSTALLING ROTATING ASSEMBLY INTO POWERFRAME

Attach 1/2" eye bolts to the bearing housing. Install the two front oil seals into the powerframe with lips facing each other. Exert uniform pressure on the seal cages to prevent damage during installation. Grease seal inner lips with grease. Lay frame vertically with driver end up. Apply lubrication to the outboard bearing housing bore. Apply grease to the rotating assembly bearings per recommended bearing manufacturer guidelines. With hoist, lower shaft assembly, through frame, being careful not to damage the lips of the front oil seals. Install 1/2" bolts and jam nuts on bearing nuts on bearing housing. Tighten Bearing housing bolts down to powerframe for initial impeller installation.

- 16 -

INSTALLING SLINGER AND SLEEVE O-RING

Install O-ring on I.D. of slinger. Do not lubricate the O-ring. Orient the cup flange of the slinger towards the bearing frame and push the slinger onto the shaft all the way back until it shoulders on the shaft. Install O-ring for the shaft sleeve over the shaft and push against the shaft radius. Apply anti-seize compound to the shaft O.D. for the shaft sleeve.

INSTALLATION NEW DESIGN OILER

The oiler is installed loosely over the shaft prior to installation of the Mechanical seal carrier on the powerframe. Extreme care is advised while the mechanical seal shaft sleeve is installed to prevent oil seal damage on the oiler. Please contact TRINITY Pumpworks LLC for further guidance if necessary.

PREPARATION OF MECHANICAL SEAL CARRIER FOR MECHANICAL SEAL

Install the 1/8" anti-rotation pin. Pin should stand up MAXIMUM of 1/8". Lubricate the O-ring of the stationary seal before pressing it into the Mechanical Seal Carrier. Align the notch of the stationary seal with the pin and press the seal into the place. Ensure the pin stops rotation and the seal sits flat. Install pipe plugs into the Mechanical Seal carrier if necessary.

INSTALLING MECHANICAL SEAL CARRIER ON POWERFRAME

Install Mechanical Seal Carrier and secure with two 1/2" bolts. Tighten to 60 ft. lbs. torque. Mount casing gasket on O.D. of Mechanical Seal Carrier.

INSTALLING TYPE 1 MECHANICAL SEAL ON SLEEVE

Lubricate shaft sleeve O.D. (do not use anti-seize here), this allows the bellows to slip during installation. Install back ring and spring. Clean I.D. of bellows, using alcohol. Install bellows on sleeve with lubrication that minimizes solidification such as factory recommended Molykote.

INSTALLING MECHANICAL SEAL WITH SLEEVE ON SHAFT Ensure shaft sleeve O-ring is on the shaft and install mechanical seal assembly onto shaft prepped with anti-seize lubricant on mutual contact areas. Install Impeller O-ring on sleeve face. It may be necessary to apply grease in the sleeve groove to hold the impeller O-ring in place until impeller is installed. Install key on shaft (slot facing upward).

- 17 -

INSTALLING IMPELLER, JAM NUT AND NOSE CONE

Slip impeller on shaft using anti-seize. Attach 7/8" key to coupling end of shaft and temporarily secure in place with tape. Install jam nut using Loctite (RED). Secure with 350 ft. lbs. torque. Install set screw in jam nut and tighten securely. Install impeller nose cone using Loctite (RED). Secure with 350 ft. lbs. torque. Install set screw in jam nut and tighten securely.

TEMPORARY SETTING OF IMPELLER CLEARANCE TO AVOID INTERFERENCE ON POWERFRAME INSTALLATION

Using the 1/2" jack bolts on the bearing housing, set the clearance (see note) between the impeller and the Mechanical Seal Carrier to audible touch off while rotating. Do not tighten the 1/2" bolts until ready to set the final impeller clearance.

WARNING

SINCE PUMP DESIGN REQUIRES THE IMPELLER TO BE FINAL SET OFF THE FRONT COVER, THE PROCEDURE TO SET THE IMPELLER WITHOUT DAMAGING THE PUMP REQUIRES THE

TEMPORARY SETTING AND FINAL ADJUSTMENT TO BE PERFORMED WITHOUT DELAY.

Set to Audible touch-off.

- 18 -

INSTALLING SECONDARY PACKING FOR MECHANICAL SEALS

Put two packing rings onto shaft. Assemble two-piece gland over packing and bolt together, attach to Mechanical seal carrier. Final adjustment is performed at startup to allow for proper flow adjustment minimizing leakage while maintaining thermal equilibrium. It is recommended to skive the cuts and diametrically oppose the cuts on the shaft.

INSTALLING FRONT COVER ON CASING

Install double ended studs on casing. Before assembling the front cover on the volute casing, determine the rotation of the pump to determine which side the front cover must be mounted. Install the casing gasket on the O.D. of the front cover. Lower front cover into volute casing and install washers and nuts, Pre-torque to 100 ft. lbs. using a cross bolt tightening method. Final torque to 200 ft. lbs. using a cross bolt tightening method.

INSTALLING POWER FRAME INTO CASING

Because the casing and front cover weigh approximately 900 pounds, it will be easier to drop the powerframe assembly into the casing cover assembly. Lower powerframe into casing and install washers and nuts, pre-torque to 100 ft. lbs. using a cross bolt tightening method. Final torque to 200 ft. lbs. using a cross bolt tightening method.

FINAL SETTING OF IMPELLER CLEARANCE TO AVOID FRONT PLATE INTERFERENCE

Using the 1/2" jack bolts on the bearing housing, and a dial indicator setup to measure total travel, move the Impeller forward while rotating to audible touch off on the Front Plate. Document total travel. Move the impeller back off the Front plate with the ½” jack bolts and set the clearance (see figure 4) at .025 inch. Secure the clearance with the bolts and jam nuts on the bearing housing using 50 ft. lbs. torque (dry/galvanized).

WARNING: The outer bearing housing has two bolts to pull and two to push. When moving bearing housing, release opposing bolts.

MISCELLANEOUS

Install all pipe plugs as necessary. Install breather on Powerframe. Turn pump shaft to ensure that the impeller is not rubbing, and that there is not any excessive torque required to turn the shaft.

- 19 -

Trouble-Shooting Procedures

PACKING LEAKAGE, RAPID PACKING WEAROUT, AND WORN SHAFT SLEEVE

Remove the packing. Slide a wire, with a short section of the tip bent 90 degrees into the mechanical seal carrier. Run the "stylus" tip of the wire along the shaft sleeve. If deep grooves are noted the sleeve must be replaced. Excessive tightening of the packing will cause rapid sleeve failure.

OILER – EXCESSIVE INITIAL LEAKAGE

Upon startup it has been uncommonly observed that the oiler can evacuate the reservoir abnormally quick. Due to the nature of type 1 mechanical seals there can be an initial small separation of seal faces allowing the fluid to be pulled into the pump. There will be no observable external leakage. Please allow a brief period for rotation during startup for the rotating seal and stationary seal faces to mate. The fluid level will then maintain itself inside the oiler/reservoir cavity. Seal face integrity will be maintained provided there is fluid being properly kept on at least one side of the sealing faces.

PACKING BURNED

Replace the packing. Initial over-tightening and attempting to run packing without leakage will cause the packing to burn. Once the packing is burned it becomes hard and will not squeeze down on the shaft causing uncontrollable leakage.

EXCESSIVE MECHANICAL SEAL CARRIER PRESSURE

Caused by incorrect clearance between the impeller back vanes and the Mechanical Seal Carrier and/or worn impeller back vanes. The solution is to readjust the impeller clearance. See previous section entitled "Setting Final Impeller Clearance" in this manual.

OILER LUBRICATION

The TRINITY Pumpworks LLC oiler is a product marketed to enhance reliability of the 14X12x22 pumps under adverse conditions. During normal operation, the pumping medium passing through the casing will provide adequate cooling and lubrication for the mechanical seal. Under inadequate flow conditions the oiler will provide emergency lubrication to the mechanical seal surfaces to enhance survivability. It is critical to keep the reservoir filled with fluid. NOTE: Please allow 20-25% room for heat expansion. Due to installation variables, operating conditions, and startup/shutdown procedures, the usage rate of fluid can be dissimilar between units.
