Trang 14Foreword
The readers of the four volumes on “Machinery Management” can be di-
- those who can say: That’s exactly what happened to me back in 19 !
- those who can say: Why didn’t I know this back in 19 ?!
- those who can say: I hope I’ll remember all this when I am in charge!
In other words, those with a lot, a little, and no experience stand to benefit from studying these four volumes Maybe some of the people with a lot of expe- rience could find other ways to solve a particular case, but even they cannot match the knowledge and experience that the authors amassed in these books
In the past, many a good Machinery Manager was “made” through many years of experience, and also through many costly mistakes These “experts” passed on their experience to the people they worked with, but seldom could experience gained in one particular location prepare someone for the multitude
of things that can go wrong It is because of this that the authors must be com- mended for their effort to disseminate not only their experience, but also the lessons they learned from many other experts
Volume 4 complements the first three books by focusing on major equipment installation and repair-foundations, pumps, blowers, turbines, electric motors, and lubrication and storage These four volumes contain a wealth of information
on machinery found in most petrochemical plants, and in their quest for perfec- tion, three principal groups will benefit from this text: Those who design ma-
chinery, those who maintain machinery, and those who operate machinery
As a manufacturer of machinery, I realize that only knowledgeable people can fully utilize our efforts to make the best machines, to give guidelines on how to optimally maintain these machines, and finally how to best operate these ma- chines Used in conjunction with the preceding three volumes or used alone, this book will make the reader a knowledgeable person
vided, in my opinion, into three categories:

Installation, Malntenance, and
The most common centrifugal pump in the petrochemical industry is the horizontal single stage process pump This pump has many different external designs Perhaps the most common is the end suction top dis-
There are many features about this pump that make it adaptable for most applications Designs can be small and inexpensive, or they can
be designs that meet API 601" standards as well as with ANSI**
specifications The top centerline discharge provides excellent stability when subjected to piping stresses and high temperatures Larger pump models incorporate a double volute internal passageway that helps to bal- ance radial loading on the impeller This pump design has a vertical ra- dial split casing with centerline supports and an overhung impeller mounted on a shaft supported by bearings By changing impeller designs this pump can be adapted to all kinds of product applications from light hydrocarbons to slurries
ANSI pumps differ from API* designs as follows: They are chemical
ANSI pumps (Figure 1-2) are generally supplied with open impellers Temperatures are usually limited to 300°F and pressures to 300 psi maximum, depending on the material and flange type Capacity ranges
pellers Often stainless steel is used together with 316 stainless steel shaft
* API = American Petroleum Institute
** ANSI = American National Standards Institute

sleeves Pump suction and discharge will normally have 150 lb raised face flanges
Mechanical seals provided in ANSI pumps are normally unbalanced, single inside, but single outside seals are also quite common Face mate- rials are often carbon versus ceramic or tungsten carbide Other materi- als can be substituted where applicable Seal flush is usually configured
as recirculation from pump discharge
Motors: TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled) 460 volt (560 in Canada), three phase at 60 Hertz are standard drivers for North American applica- tions
Base Plates: Normally fabricated from steel plate with smaller base plates cast Pump and motor are mounted on the base plate and connected with a coupling For maintenance and repair work the coupling will have
to be removed and the pump internals can be removed from the pump case without disturbing the piping
ANSI vertical in-line pumps are made in three basic designs: Style “A”
is identified by the rigid spacer coupling which connects the pump stub shaft to the motor shaft This design allows pump mechanical seal and impeller to be removed without disturbing the motor or pump flanges All radial and thrust loads are transferred to the motor bearings This style of pump is shown in Figure 1-3
