i. INTRODUCTION TO THE SUNDYNE

PUMP
The Sundyne LMV pump has a single stage, with an
integral gearbox. It's purpose is to increase the
pressure of a continuous flow fluid by applying
centrifugal action. Sundyne LMV Pumps are most
commonly used in HPI, CPI, and Boiler Feed
applications. They are also used in refineries,
petrochemical plants, and power generation plants.
Within these facilities, Sundyne Pumps are used in
high head, low to medium flow processes.
Sundyne LMV Pumps offer industrial quality in a
compact unit that is simple to maintain. It provides
high-energy performance and competitive efficiencies.
For detailed specifications of Sundyne LMV Pumps,
see the specification sheet and bill of material or
consult Sundyne Corp. For the primary components,
reference the Pump and Gearbox section. For more
information about additional custom equipment for the
basic Sundyne LMV Pump product, see the brochure
that accompanies this manual.

Additionally, modification of Sundyne products or
removal of original components may impair the safety
of these products and their effective operation.
Suggested Safety Instructions:

During installation, maintenance, or repair operations
of a Sundyne pump, systems for safety shall be
applied before the commencement of work. Failure to
take responsibility for safety may lead to injury of
operator or others.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Safety
glasses with side shields, as a minimum, shall be
worn by all personnel installing or performing
maintenance or repair on the equipment. If equipment
is over 15 pounds (7 kg) and is to be manually lifted, or
if pallet jacks or forklifts are to be used, steel-toed
Page 6
safety shoes shall be worn. When testing the

equipment, hearing protection is highly recommended
if noise levels exceed 85 dB during an eight (8.0) hour
period. Chemical resistant gloves shall be used if
chemical use is required (see Chemical Use below for
additional information). If chemicals have warnings
regarding fumes and/or dust/mists, a dust mask
respirator shall be worn as a minimum.
When selecting one piece of PPE to be used with
another, consider the compatibility between them. For
example, safety glasses should not interfere with the
seal from hearing protection. Be sure to clean the PPE
after each use.
Use of Forklifts: All forklift drivers must have a
current recognized license. If using a forklift, first
ensure that the lift is in a safe operating condition.
Electrical Safety: During installation, service, or
repair ensure all electrical sources are off and it is safe
to operate on the equipment. A recognized Lockout/Tag-out program should be followed - Locks and/or
tags should be provided warning employees that the
equipment is being installed, serviced, and/or repaired.
Once the work is complete, the person installing the
lock and/or Tag shall remove it following your
company's procedure for Lock-out/Tag-out and inform
others of start-up.
Testing Equipment: Persons in the immediate area
shall be warned when a test is to be performed.
Tools: Tools shall be insulated from electrical shock.
Ensure all tools are clean and free of oil and the
insulation is not damaged in any way.
Chemical Use: Any chemicals to be used shall be
accompanied by a relevant material safety data sheet
(MSDS), in accordance with your government
legislation. If applicable, chemical proof gloves shall
be used. An eye wash station (or equivalent) should be
available in the event of injury. Should any hazardous
or flammable chemicals have passed through the
equipment a complete decontamination of the
equipment is required.
Fall Protection: When working over six feet from the
ground, fall protection is required.
Machine Guards: Guards shall remain in place on all
equipment. Only during maintenance/repair can the
guards be removed, and prior to start-up, the guard
must be replaced.
Lock-out/Tag-out Guidelines:

Procedure When Servicing Sundyne Pumps.
02.09.02E, 06/03
iii. CRITICAL STARTUP CHECKLIST

Know Your Machine:
Before servicing and starting up the Sundyne LMV
pump, carefully review the specification sheet, the
outline drawings, performance curves, and this
instruction manual. It is important you become familiar
with the pump configuration before starting and
operating the pump.
Driver Instructions:
Carefully follow the installation and starting instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the driver. This is
included in the final data package.
Auxiliaries:
1. Check the utility connections.
2. Verify that the auxiliary piping conforms to
Sundyne's drawings.
3. Verify the connections of the switches, the
instruments, and their settings.
4. Calibrate all measurement equipment (Flow meters,
Current or Ampere meters, Pressure meters, etc.).
Environmental Control System:
Install a system to control the environment of the seal,
if required.
against pump specification sheet. Power consumption

should not exceed the maximum shown on the pump
specification sheet. Check that specific gravity,
viscosity and NPSH are in accordance with
specification sheet. These conditions will significantly
alter performance of the pump.
Process Conditions:
Do process conditions; suction pressure, suction
temperature, discharge pressure, agree with
specification sheet information? Check with your
Sundyne representative if you must test or run a
different fluid/specific gravity than shown on the
specification sheet.
Auxiliary Lube Pump:
If you have an auxiliary lubrication pump, unlock the
electrical circuit and start it in the "hand" position.
Check for oil leaks and recheck the oil level.
Piping Connections:
Are the following bolted/threaded connections tight:
1. Pump flange bolts?
2. Seal environment piping and port connections?
3. Cooling water connections to heat exchanger (if
applicable)?
4. Gearbox oil drain plug?
5. Pump case drain plug?
Pressurized Fluid Loop:

Pressurize double seal buffer loop or external seal
flush, if required, prior to admitting fluid into pump
casing.
Check Driver Rotation:
Rotation must be in the opposite direction as the arrow
stamped or cast on the pump casing. Pump rotation is
counterclockwise, while motor rotation is clockwise.
Gearbox Servicing:
Fill gearbox within 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) from top of oil
level sight glass with lube oil which conforms to the
specification in figure 5. Where applicable, operate
auxiliary lube pump to fill heat exchanger and filter.
Add oil as necessary through fill fitting until oil level
stabilizes in sight glass. The gearbox alone requires
approximately four and one-half U.S. quarts (4.25
liters).
Starting Pump:
Start pump with suction valve completely open while
throttling discharge valve, to bring pump to design
operating point.
Heat Exchanger:
If a heat exchanger for the gearbox is installed, adjust
the cooling flow to keep the temperature of the
gearbox sump at 140-160F (60-71C).
Checks:
Check total head, flow rate, and power consumption
02.09.02E, 06/03

INSTALLATION
Inspection
1. Indoor, climate controlled building (maintains

constant temperature and humidity).
Upon receipt of Sundyne equipment, check for any

damage which may have occurred during shipment.
Notify the carrier and Sundyne promptly if damage has
occurred.
The input shaft may not turn freely due to seal drag
and speed increasing gear meshes; however, if
rotation is "bumpy", this would indicate some disorder
or damage and requires investigation for cause.
Storage
2. Inert gas purging of component internals.

3. Oil flooding of gearbox internals.
4. Desiccant bags.
Because long-term storage of equipment is of a
highly critical nature, it is recommended that Sundyne
be contacted to provide more details on the above
procedures.
If the pump is not to be installed immediately, it should

be protected from exposure to moisture and dust.
Shipping covers installed at the factory (for casing
flanges and seal ports) must be kept securely in place.
Storage instructions provided by the driver (motor or
turbine) manufacturer should be observed.
Suction and Discharge Piping
Long-Term Storage
2. All piping must be supported independently of the

pump. The piping should always line up with the pump
flanges. Never draw the piping into place by the use
of force at the flanged suction and discharge
connections as this may impose excessive strains on
the unit.
Certain long-term storage considerations should

be met for any Sundyne pump which will not be
operating for a period of time exceeding six months
from date of factory shipment. This action will ensure
minimum corrosion damage to the gearbox and fluidend components. Because of storage location and
other unknown site factors beyond our control,
Sundyne will not accept any liability for damage to the
equipment during the storage period, nor does
Sundyne guarantee the quality of the equipment
during and after the storage period.
To ensure the original quality of the Sundyne
pump prior to commissioning after storage, all
components must be inspected by an authorized
Sundyne service engineer. Any components not of
Sundyne manufacture (except mechanical seals) must
be inspected by that particular submanufacturer's
authorized service personnel. The cost of such
service personnel and any component replacement
will be at the purchaser's expense.
Factors which affect the quality of an uninstalled
Sundyne pump are the humidity/temperature and the
chemicals in the atmosphere surrounding the
equipment. The method employed for long-term
storage should prevent the humidity/temperature and
airborne chemicals from making contact with the
internal components of the equipment.
When the equipment is to be stored in strong chemical
environments or near salt water, protection should be
executed immediately upon receipt of the equipment.
Following are the Sundyne recommended long-term
storage procedures:
Page 8
1. The suction line should be clean and a strainer

should be installed to protect the impeller from
damage by mill scale, welding slag, or other foreign
particles during initial startup.
3. The piping, both suction and discharge, should have

no unnecessary elbows, bends, and fittings, as they
increase friction losses in the piping. The size of pipe
and fittings should be selected carefully and be
sufficient to keep the friction losses as low as practical.
4. The use of elbows near the suction flange should be
avoided. When used, elbows should be long radius.
A straight pipe run of at least ten times the pipe
diameter is desirable between an elbow and the
suction flange.
5. Suction pipe should never be of smaller diameter
than the pump suction inlet.
6. Block valves (both suction and discharge) are
recommended to isolate the pump during shutdown, to
minimize process leakage during the shutdown
condition and to prevent possible reverse rotation due
to back- flow through the pump.
SEAL ENVIRONMENTAL
SYSTEM
CONTROL
1. For the seals used with the Sundyne LMV pump,

always maintain the environment shown on the
specification sheet for your unit. For some
arrangements and applications, you may need a buffer
system to control the seal environment. For many
applications, you can obtain a standard system from
the factory. Make sure that the system is installed
properly and that the ports are open or plugged, as
02.09.02E, 06/03
applicable. Always be sure to leave port 1 free to drain

leakage from the gearbox oil seal and vent the
process seal, otherwise oil could contaminate the
outboard seal or allow process seal leakage into the
gearbox. This port can be attached to a flare line, but
should not have back pressure in excess of 5 psi (34.5
kPa).
minimum deflections and freedom from resonant

frequencies in the operating range of the equipment
being supported. The flanged base shall be secured in
position by 7/8" diameter bolts. The bolts shall be
installed in the foundation per the Installation Drawing,
with sufficient length to protrude 1/4 inch (6.4mm)
above the nut.
2. A liquid buffer system is used with double and

tandem liquid seals. The buffer liquid is introduced into
port 2, allowed to flow through the seal cavity, and out
of port 7.
2. The baseplate, if used should be leveled prior to

grouting. Grout shall set for a minimum of forty eight
(48) hours before tightening the foundation bolts, or
set for the minimum time suggested by the
manufacturer of the grout.
3. Buffer flow should be 0.5 to 3.0 GPM (1.9 to 11.6

Liters/min) with an inlet temperature of 60 to 120F
(16 to 49C) and inlet pressure as indicated on the
4.The buffer liquid may require cooling prior to
returning to port 2. Otherwise, heat generated by seal
friction will build up in the buffer, resulting in shorter
seal life.
GEARBOX HEAT EXCHANGER

1. The standard heat exchanger is a shell and tube
water-cooled type.
2. Cool water should be provided at 150 psig (11
kg/cm2) maximum pressure. Coolant flow should be
controlled to maintain a gearbox sump temperature
between 140F to 160F (60C to 71C).
3. The optional air cooled heat exchanger should be
controlled to maintain the same gearbox sump
temperature as above.
DRIVER AND COUPLING

1. Drivers are normally shipped separately from the
gearbox and pump. When a splined interconnecting
shaft is supplied, this shaft must be lubricated at each
end with one tube (5cc) of antifretting compound
(Sundyne Part Number MP01AA10). Also available
are solid shaft drivers coupled to the gearbox with a
flexible coupling. See appropriate Section for
SERVICING the coupling.
2. Spline driven units do not require alignment.
Lock-out starting switch on driver prior to working on
coupling. You should review and know your
company's Lock-out / Tag-out procedure prior to
working on energized equipment.
PIPING CONNECTIONS
Drain lines from the seal housing ports may be
necessary. Refer to the outline drawing for port usage.
NOTE:
Refer to the outline drawing in the LUBE SYSTEM
section for heat exchanger mounting configuration.
The assembly should not be rearranged without
consulting the factory. THE HEAT EXCHANGER
IS NEVER MOUNTED HIGHER THAN THE
GEARBOX MANIFOLD.
A inch socket head pipe plug in the filter
manifold is required when using the gearbox heat
exchanger. (See figure 4.) This plug is omitted
when the heat exchanger is not used.
4. For more detail refer to the appropriate section on
LUBE SYSTEM.
BASEPLATE MOUNTING & GROUTING

NOTE: The installation should provide clearance on
either side for removal and service. Overhead
clearance must be provided for lifting out the driver
or gearbox assembly.
1. A rigid concrete mounting base is recommended for
all installations. The concrete foundation should have

LUBE SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The integral Sundyne lube oil system consists of the
following major components: gearbox sump, main
lube pump, oil heat exchanger and oil filter. Oil is
taken from the sump by the lube pump, then passed
through internal passages to an externally mounted
manifold through the heat exchanger, then through the
filter, and back into the gearbox to the bearings. After
passing through the bearings, the oil drains back to the
sump.
The gearbox sump holds approximately four and onehalf U.S. quarts (4.25 liters) of oil, not including
auxiliary piping and heat exchanger. The oil level
should always be maintained within the black circle in
the sight glass. DO NOT overfill gearbox, as this will
cause excessive foaming and overheating.
The main lube pump is a constant displacement gear
type pump directly driven by the input shaft. The lube
pump includes a relief valve plate supported by a
spring under the input shaft.
The standard heat exchanger is a shell and tube water
cooled type mounted on the gearbox manifold. Cold
water should be provided at 150 psig (11 kg/cm2)
maximum pressure. See the specification sheet for
cooling water requirements. Coolant flow should be
controlled to maintain a gearbox sump temperature
between 140F to 160F (60C to 71C).

Approximately one hour may be required to stabilize
temperature. See Figure 4.
The oil filter is a disposable pleated paper element
type. Gearbox oil and filter should be changed every
six months. See Figure 5 for oil specifications.
LUBRICATING OIL SYSTEM
INCLUDING
SYSTEMS
REMOTE
SKID
MOUNTED
The oil used in Sundyne gearboxes must meet the

specifications presented in Gearbox Lubricant
Recommendations (see Bulletin 40.2.04). In general,
an ISO viscosity grade 32 oil will meet these
specifications. Before using any oil, you should verify
its properties by consulting its manufacturer. Failure to
use the proper gearbox lubricant will void the warranty.
No other additives are recommended.
OPTIONAL LUBE OIL SYSTEM AUXILIARIES
1. Lube Oil Priming Kit
This prelube system is optional on LMV-322 pumps.
The kit consists of a motor driven positive
displacement pump, check valve, gauges, and
necessary piping. To start pump, operate the prelube

pump at least 30 seconds with a minimum of 5 psig

(0.35 kg/cm2) indication prior to starting the main
driver. (If oil piping has been drained, several minutes,
operation is suggested to allow trapped air to bleed
from the system.)
The prelube pump is to shut down only after main
driver is at full operating speed. Do not operate the
prelube pump continuously when the main pump is
running.
OIL PRESSURE
Depending upon the bearing configuration and the
characteristics of the lube oil used. The gearbox
internal lube pump will maintain oil pressure between
45 and 60 psig (3.2 and 4.2 kg/cm2) during normal
operation. The gearbox should never be operated with
less than 10 psig oil pressure.
2. REMOTE HEAT EXCHANGER

Some large water cooled and all air cooled heat
exchangers are mounted away from the gearbox.
Except for packaged units, the interconnecting piping
is the purchaser's responsibility. The heat exchanger
MUST be mounted lower than the oil manifold;
otherwise, air pockets may be present in the lube oil
lines at start-up, causing oil starvation at the bearings.
Equivalent length of piping and fittings must not
exceed 20 feet (6 m), using a minimum of inch (18
mm) I.D. tubing or pipe. If greater pipe lengths are
required, pipe diameter must be increased accordingly.
3. GEARBOX SUMP HEATER
A sump heater is required when ambient temperatures
may fall below the temperature at which the gearbox
oil becomes too viscous for proper lube pump
operation. Both steam and electric sump heaters are
available. The lube oil priming kit MUST be operated
to circulate oil around the heater when the main drive
motor is not running.
A 1/4 INCH SOCKET-HEAD PIPE PLUG IN THE

FILTER MANIFOLD IS REQUIRED WHEN USING
THE GEARBOX HEAT EXCHANGER. THIS PLUG
MUST BE REMOVED WHEN THE HEAT
EXCHANGER IS NOT USED.
THE HEAT EXCHANGER INSTALLATION IS A

SUNDYNE CORP. ASSEMBLY AND SHOULD NOT
BE REARRANGED. THE HEAT EXCHANGER IS
NEVER MOUNTED HIGHER THAN THE FILTER.

STARTUP
Refer also to the Critical Startup Checklist in
this manual.
If a Sundyne supplied control panel is to be used with
the Sundyne LMV Pump, use the control panel
recommended start-up procedure in addition to the
steps below. Before starting the LMV Pump, complete
the following procedure in the order in which the steps
are provided herein.
Run-In of the Pump: If the pump(s) is to be run-in
under conditions which are considerably different from
those that the unit is designed for (such as type of
liquid, suction pressure, flow rate, etc.) Sundyne
should be consulted to insure that the run-in conditions
are compatible with the pump.
Preparation for unit start-up
1. Make sure that the driver has been serviced as
recommended by the manufacturer.
2. Install a suction strainer to protect the pump from
debris. After start-up, verify that the strainer is not
clogged, reducing suction pressure. A suction
pressure gage is recommended for this purpose.
Clean the strainer as required.
3. If a buffer fluid, or an external seal flush is required,
this system should be commissioned prior to
admitting process fluid into the pump. This is
required to flush contaminants from the seal
chamber and to lubricate the seals.
4. For double seal configurations, the buffer system
must be pressurized to the pressure specified on
the Sundyne Specification Data Sheet prior to
pressuring the pump with process fluid. Failure to
do so can result in reverse pressurization of the
primary seal, contamination of the buffer system,
and malfunction of the primary seal.
5. Vent the seal cavity through port #5 or #6.
6. Fill the gearbox with clean lubricating oil through the
fill and vent fitting. Use oil conforming to the
specifications in Figure 5. The capacity of the
gearbox is approximately 4.5 quarts (4.25 liters).
a) On units without an auxiliary lubrication pump,
remove the oil filter, fill it 50% full and reinstall.
Remove the heat exchanger, fill it and the
piping 100% and reinstall. Fill the gearbox to
the top of the maximum line on the sight glass.
b) Jog the main drive until oil pressure is
observed on the pressure gauge. This should
occur by the second or third jog of 2-3
seconds duration.
02.09.02E, 06/03
c) On units with an auxiliary lubrication pump,

operate the pump for a few minutes to remove
trapped air. Vent any high points to assure
complete fill. Add more oil to maintain the
proper level. Adjust the relief valve on the
auxiliary pump to provide 25 psi (1.76
kg/cm2)oil pressure to the system.
d) The auxiliary lubrication system should be
operated for at least 5 seconds before starting
the main pump driver. Pressure switches and
time delays can be used if automatic start
sequences are desired.
e) After the start of the main pump driver, oil
pressure is supplied by the internal gearbox
lube pump. An increase in oil pressure should
be observed.
7. Turn on the cooling water to the lubrication system
heat exchanger. Adjust cooling to maintain oil
temperature in the sump to 140F - 160F (60C 71C).
Start-up sequence
1. Start the auxiliary oil pump, if provided.
2. Pressurize the seal buffer system, if provided.
3. Open the pump suction valve 100%.
4. Open the seal vent port, either #5 or #6 to vent air.
5. Open the pump discharge valve 25%.
6. Start the main pump motor and observe the flow
rate and discharge pressure.
7. Adjust the discharge valve for pump operation
within the recommended flow limits.
8. Shut down the auxiliary oil pump within two
minutes of main motor start-up.
Never start or operate the pump against a closed
discharge valve. Always check to ensure that
the discharge valve is open to design
conditions.
9. On units with heat exchangers, once the gearbox oil
temperature has stabilized, adjust the cooling water

(60C-71C). Maximum recommended temperature
is 180F (82C ). Recommended setting for
temperature switches are alarm at 180F (82C)
and shut down at 200F (93C).

PUMP CONTROL DURING START-UP

Refer to the Section on "OPERATION AND
CONTROL" for basic instruction. Also refer to the
Sundyne Pump Control Bulletin (01.09.07E) for
additional information on pumps operating in parallel
and series.
SINGLE UNITS
1. Start pump with the suction valve open while
throttling the discharge valve to bring the pump to the
design flow operating point.
2. If the process fluid is near boiling, a seal cavity vent
back to the supply vessel may have to be opened to fill
the pump with liquid.
PARALLEL OPERATION
1. Check valves must be placed in the discharge
piping of each pump to prevent back-flow.
2. An individual pump minimum flow bypass loop with
a control valve should be installed between the pump
discharge and the check valve. The bypass loop
should either be cooled or routed back to the suction
vessel.
3. Start first unit as described above for single units.
4. Start second unit on bypass and maintain flow.
Open discharge valve on second unit and maintain the
design flow of both units. It is preferable that the units
not operate at their peak head capability.
5. Separate flow controls on each pump are
recommended and provide a lower minimum flow
range than can be achieved by pressure control.
NOTE
If an on-line spare pump is started while the main
pump is running, this is considered parallel
operation. This condition could result in the spare
pump dead heading if the bypass loop is not
available. Catastrophic pump failure could result
from operation in a dead headed condition!

SERVICING
Driver: Inspect the driver to make sure that it performs
according to the manufacturer's specifications.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
To increase the operating life of your pump and keep it
in good operating condition, you should inspect and
service it regularly. See figure 2 for check points.
Measure all of the operating parameters documented
in the specific maintenance procedures and log your
measurements. Make sure that all major equipment,
such as lubricating pumps, heat exchangers, and
instrumentation, perform according to the
manufacturer's recommendations. Whenever you find
a deviation from specifications, identify its source
immediately, and take any corrective steps that are
required to bring the unit into manufacturer's
specifications.
Coupling: Inspect the coupling according to the

manufacturer's specifications.
Never operate the pump without first checking the
coupling guard.
A pump with a missing or incorrectly installed
coupling guard could cause serious or fatal injury.
Regular Maintenance
Gearbox Oil: Check the level of the oil in the gearbox
immediately before and after initial start-up, and
regularly while the pump is running. Be sure to keep
the level of the oil within the design limit. You can add
oil while the pump is running.
DO NOT OVER FILL THE GEARBOX. This can
cause damage to the internal components.
Oil Pressure: The correct oil pressure from the main
pump of the gearbox depends on the configuration of
the bearings and the characteristics of the lubricating
oil used. In the normal operation, the oil pressure
supplied to the gearbox should be between 18-60 psig
(124-413 kPa). Recommended limits are 15 psig (103
kPa) decreasing alarm and 10 psig (69 kPa)
decreasing shutdown.
Changing the Gearbox Oil and Filter: Change the oil
in the reservoir and the oil filter elements every 6
months. Sundyne recommended synthetics may go for
one year maximum before an oil change is required.
Seal Leakage: Check the seal ports regularly.
Excessive leakage is dependent on process liquid, but
considered as approximately one pint per day. If
persistent excessive leakage is present, consider the
use of a double or tandem seal configuration with a
buffer fluid.
Anti-Friction Bearings: Antifriction ball bearings on
the gearbox low speed shaft should be replaced after
three years, or whenever the unit is being overhauled.
Care must be exercised to ensure that the correct
replacement bearings are installed. Incorrect
replacement bearings will jeopardize mechanical
integrity of the unit. Replacement bearings should be
purchased from Sundyne to ensure proper quality and
fit.

OPERATION AND CONTROL

OPERATION
Refer to the Sundyne Pump Control Bulletin
(01.09.07E) for addition information on pumps
operating in parallel and series.
While the application of the pump in any particular
system is not within the scope of this instruction
manual, the importance of proper operation cannot be
ignored. Several factors must always be considered.
The experienced operator will be aware of the effects.
1.SUCTION CONDITIONS: The most common
reasons for improper centrifugal pump operation are
those relating to proper flow of liquid into the impeller.
To avoid turbulence at the eye of the impeller, the
suction pipe should be straight for a minimum of ten
pipe diameters beyond the suction flange. Another rule
of thumb is that suction piping should be at least one
pipe size larger than the pump suction flange.
It is essential that liquid reaching the impeller eye have
enough vapor pressure to prevent it flashing to a gas
in the impeller. The result of the liquid flashing is
cavitation, a phenomenon which can cause damage to
the impeller and inducer. Cavitation is noticeable as a
"pumping gravel" noise in centrifugal pumps. In high
speed single stage pumps this sound may not be
discernible. The way to prevent cavitation is to
maintain suction pressure at a high enough level and
suction temperatures low enough to maintain Net
Positive Suction Head available (NPSHa) greater than
Net Positive Suction Head required (NPSHr) by the
pumps (See Sundyne Specification Sheet).
2. MINIMUM FLOW CONDITIONS: Centrifugal
pumps can also experience vibrations from internal
flow separations and re-circulation at low flow
conditions. The operator should be aware of the
minimum flow recommendations of the manufacturer.
While a pump can operate with some noise due to
recirculation without harm to the pump, excessive
SYSTEM (HEAD)
CURVES
noise and vibration are signs that the pump may be

subject to damage if operation continues. Noise and
vibration may be accentuated by resonance in the
discharge line, especially when a control valve is
located well down stream from the pump.
3. ENTRAINED GASES: Entrained gases in the fluid
will reduce the head and capacity of the centrifugal
pump. Normally it is considered that two to three
percent entrainment is limiting. The pump has been
found to operate very well under adverse conditions of
gas entrainment. However, the operator should expect
a reduction in performance.
4. SYSTEM HEAD CURVE: The flow at which a
centrifugal pump operates depends upon the point of
intersection of the system (head) curve with the pump
characteristic (head versus flow) curve. In order for
control to be steady, the system curve must intersect
the pump characteristic curve at a significant angle,
Examples of satisfactory and unsatisfactory angles of
intersection are shown on the following diagram.
NOTE: The curve for pump A has a significant angle of
intersection with system curves D and E. The system
curve D could represent a system with the control
valve wide open while system E could represent the
same system but with the throttle valve partially closed
to reduce flow from flow 1 to flow 2. Pump curve B, on
the other hand, will provide only flow 2, even with the
control valve wide open (curve D). When the control
valve is partially closed to create system curve E, the
curve E and the lower pump curve B are nearly
parallel. The lack of significant angle of intersection
means that the pump flow is likely to drift aimlessly
and not respond to control valve position.
CONTROL
Proper operation of the Sundyne LMV pump (as with
any other centrifugal pump) requires that the pump be

operated in a range where:

(1) the system head curve and pump performance
curve intersect at a significant angle (2) the pump does
not operate below the minimum flow recommended
and (3) the pump does not operate "in the break" or
beyond the maximum capacity recommended. Rule of
thumb would establish the maximum capacity as 10%
beyond the design flow.
It is recommended that flow control rather than
pressure control always be used with the LMV.
Pressure and flow controls both operate by throttling
the discharge flow. However, flow control devices are
much more sensitive to the changes in the point of
intersection of the performance curve with the system
head curve.
Minimum flow is determined by the larger of either:
(1) the amount of flow necessary to prevent damaging
low flow recirculation (2) the amount of flow necessary
to prevent excessive temperature rise in the pump
casing due to low flow recirculation, or (3) in the case
of pumps operated in parallel the minimum flow that
will prevent one from dead-heading the other.
The minimum flow necessary to prevent excessive low
flow recirculation has been found to be largely a
function of the system design. The operation of a
control valve downstream can produce a resonant
condition which can accentuate recirculation vibration
to damaging proportions.
It has been found through experience that the greater
the distance the control valve is located from the pump
discharge flange the more severe the effect of this
vibration.
If the pump is not operated below minimum flow
recommendations, temperature rise within the pump is
unlikely to be a problem. However, if operation at low
flows becomes mandatory, or if the system causes the
pump discharge line to be blocked for any period of
time, a means of maintaining a minimum flow must be
provided. This can be accomplished by use of either a
continuous bypass or by a flow controlled bypass. Any
bypass arrangement must return liquid to the suction
tank or to a location with similar heat sink capacity.
Various devices to protect the pump and system are
available. Devices that monitor vibration, temperature
or pressure changes can be installed. Consult the
manufacturer for recommendations.

FLEXIBLE COUPLING
General Information
(1) If other than Sundyne supplied couplings are used,
they must be flexible disc or gear type couplings
capable of tolerating reasonable amounts of parallel
and angular misalignment, and axial end float. Refer to
coupling manufacturer's recommendations for
installation and maintenance.
Lock out starting switch on driver prior to working
on coupling.
(2) Coupling installation for turbine drivers is identical
to that for motors.
shaft are clean, free from burrs, and that the key will fit
in the keyways. Heat the hub in an oil bath or oven to
approximately 250F (121C), or more if necessary, so
the hub will slide onto the motor shaft. Position the
hub at the scribed line on the shaft and tighten the hub
key set screw.
On flexible disk couplings, before the hub is installed,
check to see if it is possible to assemble the coupling
bolts and washers (Figure 9) from the motor side of
the hub when installed. If this is not possible,
assemble the short bolts with bevel washers into the
hub flange before fitting in onto the shaft.
(3) The gearbox coupling hub will normally be

mounted at the factory. The driver coupling hub will be
mounted on all motors and turbines shipped from the
Sundyne factory.
(5) Grid Type Coupling Installation Instructions
Flexible Disc or Grid Type couplings

(4) If the driver coupling hub is not mounted, the
following procedure should be used:
(a) Measure the distance from the top surface of the
gearbox hub to the datum face of the driver adapter
(Figure 6). This will be called the "X" dimension.
The coupling seals should have a light coating of

grease before installation and assembly. When
mounting or remounting the coupling hub, for any
reason, always put the seal ring on the gearbox or
driver shaft first. Then install the coupling hub. The
coupling will not seal properly if these rings are

Instructions.
(a) The driver adapter has coupling guard plates that
must be removed and stored while installing coupling.
The coupling is shipped with the center assembly
assembled as shown in Figure 11 (initial view). If it is
necessary to completely disassemble the center
assembly, tie a wire through the bolt holes to maintain
the order of the disc packs. Be careful to note the
arrangement of the parts so that the coupling can be
reassembled with the parts in the same order.
Page 21
(b) Mount the driver on the driver adapter and tighten

the attaching bolts.
(c) From Table 2, determine the end gap (distance
between coupling hubs) for the size of coupling
provided.
(d) Using a proper gauge, check the actual end gap
(Figure 12) to verify that it is within the limits given in
Table 2. If it is not, reposition the hub up or down until
the end gap is within limits.
Generally, the gearbox hub is easier to adjust
than the driver hub. If the hub does not move
easily, use a bearing puller and heat the hub.
DO NOT heat hub any more than is absolutely
necessary to loosen it.
(e) Assemble the center assembly to the hubs using
the bolts, nuts, and washers provided keeping the
proper order of parts as noted in step (a). (See Figure
13).
(f) It is good practice to coat the coupling assembly
and shafts with grease or some form of protection in
order to minimize the chance of corrosion.
(g) Replace the coupling guard plates.
(h) Removal for Maintenance - It may not always be
possible to remove or install the center disk pack after
the driver is installed. For easy removal, loosen the
four lower bolts holding the lower disc pack to the
gearbox coupling hub. Remove the mounting bolts
holding the driver adapter to the gearbox. Remove the
driver, the driver adapter and upper coupling as a total
assembly. For assembly, follow this procedure in
reverse.

Remove the high speed shaft (130) from the output
gearbox housing (101A).
Page 32
02.09.02E, 06/03
STEP 28
Remove the input shaft (120) from the output gearbox
housing (101A).
Inspect radial ball bearings (125C and 125D) for smooth
rotation, worn outside diameter of the outer race and
snugness of the inner race on the shaft. Replace if the
bearing has been in operation for more than one year, if
rotation is not smooth, or if the outside or inside
diameter is worn.
Radial ball bearings should be pressed onto the shaft
using a press that contacts only the inner race. Bearing
damage will occur by pressing or pulling on the outer
race. No gap should exist between bearings (125C and
125D), spacers (123A), gear (122A), and shaft
shoulders.
Inspect radial ball bearing contact areas of the input
shaft (120). If the outside diameter of either shaft
bearing surface is less than 1.5748-inches (40.00mm),
install a new shaft.
STEP 29
Remove cap screws(905M) and journal bearing (151A)
from the output gearbox housing (101A).
STEP 30
Drive locating pins (918M) flush with the input gearbox
housing (101B).
02.09.02E, 06/03
Page 33
STEP 31
Remove cap screws(905N) and journal bearing (151B)
from input gearbox housing (101B).
Inspect the upper and lower journal bearings (151B and
151A). Replace the bearings if the inside diameter of
the upper bearing is more than 0.9418-inch (23.92mm)
or the inside diameter of the lower bearing is more than
1.5020-inches (38.15mm). Refer to Figure 14.
Also, if the bearings show signs of metal pickup,
galling, or overheating they should be replaced.
STEP 32
Remove and inspect the upper and lower thrust
washers (155B and 155A). If metal is smeared into the
radial lube grooves of the washer face, install a new
washer.
When replacing upper thrust washer (155B) apply
petroleum jelly to the under side to hold the thrust
washer in place when the input gearbox housing is
installed.
STEP 33
Inspect the inside of bearing liners. If the bearing liner
inside diameter is more than 3.5460-inches (90.07mm),
replace the input gearbox housing (101B) or output
gearbox housing (101A), whichever contains the worn
liner. Bearing liners are not replaceable in the field.

STEP 34
Inspect the high speed shaft thrust runner (133B). If it
shows signs of wear or overheating, it should be
replaced. The thrust runner is shrunk on the shaft;
therefore, use a 10-ton hydraulic press or equivalent for
removal. Inspect the pinion gear before replacing the
thrust runner.
Install a new thrust runner by heating it to 375 - 400F.
(191 - 205C) and cooling the shaft to about 0F. (18C). The thrust runner should be slipped into place
rapidly to avoid heating the shaft. No more than 0.001inch (0.02mm) gap should exist between the shaft
shoulder and the thrust runner.
STEP 35
Inspect the high speed shaft at the thrust runner and
journal bearing contact areas. If the outside diameter of
the shaft is less than 0.9368-inch (23.79mm) at the
upper journal or if the shaft has bearing or washer
materials on its surface, or shows signs of overheating
or wear to a depth greater than 0.001-inch (0.02mm),
install a new gear and shaft assembly.
Inspect the spur gear (122A) and pinion gear (132B) for
pits, chips, gear tooth wear, or excessive wear between
the gear and shaft. The gears are shrunk onto the
shafts. A 10-ton hydraulic press or equivalent is required
for removal. Install a new gear by heating the gear to
375 - 400F. (191 - 205C.), and cooling shaft to about
0F (-18C). The gear should be slipped rapidly into
place to avoid heating the shaft. No more than 0.001inch (0.02mm) gap should exist between the shaft
shoulder, gear and bearings.
STEP 36
Inspect the high speed shaft at the lower journal
(minimum of 1.4960-inches (38.00mm).
Check for bearing or washer materials on its surfaces. If
there are signs of overheating or wear to a depth
greater than 0.001-inch (0.02mm), install a new gear
and shaft assembly.
Page 36
02.09.02E, 06/03
STEP 37
Check the high speed shaft runout by holding the shaft
in V-blocks on the journal bearing locations and
measure the runout on the keyed end of the shaft using
a dial indicator. The shaft runout must not exceed
0.001-inch (0.02mm).
STEP 38
Remove the lube jets (174C shown and 174D). Clean
all lube passages with solvent and blow-dry with clean
air. Clean all other parts thoroughly and lubricate with
clean turbine oil. Immediately reinstall jets into the
housings.
STEP 39
The lube pump (160) is bi-directional and will provide
lubrication to the bearings regardless of the direction of
rotation.
Installation of the pump requires that the 180 recessed
portion of the lower corner of the bottom stationary plate
be positioned over the roll pin (918N) in the lower
gearbox. In the event that the pump is inadvertently
driven in the wrong direction, the entire lube pump
assembly will rotate 180 and will continue to function to
prevent damage to the bearings.
02.09.02E, 06/03
Page 37
STEP 40
Insert the pump relief spring (23A) between the lube
pump and input shaft.
STEP 41
The lube pump is driven by the input shaft. A roll pin in the
outer rotating part of the pump fits into a slot in the lower
end of the input shaft. The pump relief spring (23A) is
inserted between the pump and input shaft. The correct
engagement of these parts can be checked by pushing
downward on the input gear. The input shaft assembly
should bounce up and down on the relief spring.
NOTE: Using an O-ring repair kit, replace all O-rings
disturbed by disassembly. Tighten bolts and nuts as
specified in figure 15. Fill the gearbox sump and oil filter
with clean turbine oil as specified in "STARTING"
procedures of the "INSTALLATION" section. Check for
freedom of rotation after the pump is completely
assembled.

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. GEARBOX AND PUMP
Pump performance characteristics are shown on the
specification sheet and performance curve. Table 3
presents information which is useful in the analysis of
TROUBLE
No flow, no pressure
at start-up.
Insufficient flow or
head rise.
gearbox and pump performance problems. Repair

procedures for the gearbox, pump and mechanical seals
are listed in the maintenance section of this manual.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
INVESTIGATIVE/CORRECTIVE ACTION
Pump not completely filled with liquid.
Bleed all vapor or air from port 6.

Allow more cool-down time if pumping low temperature fluid.
Check suction line for air leak if suction pressure is lower than
atmospheric.
NPSH actually lower than NPSH requirement

listed on specification sheet.
Suction line blocked - check suction screen and valve.

Excessive pressure drop through suction piping.
Flow restricted by vapor pockets in high points of suction line.
Suction tank level or pressure too low.
Entrained air or vapor in pumped fluid.
NPSH reduced by presence of more volatile fluid in process fluid.
Contact Sundyne representative about inducer.
Failure of drive component, such as

interconnecting shaft or impeller key, or item
missing from assembly.
Disassemble and inspect.
Reverse direction of rotation (if pump has

inducer).
Direction of driver shaft rotation must be as shown by arrow on

pump identification plate. Note: Pump and driver rotate in
opposite directions.
Flow too high.
Check head rise and flow rate against performance curve.

Adjust system conditions to design head-flow specified on
performance curve.
Wrong direction of driver shaft rotation. It

is possible for the pump to develop greater than
50% of its design head rise in this condition.
Direction of driver shaft rotation must be as shown by arrow on

pump identification plate. Pump and driver rotate in
opposite directions.
NPSH actually lower than NPSH requirement

listed on specification sheet.
Refer to solutions listed under "No flow, no pressure at start-up"

above.
Flow too low, causing internal boiling or

unstable pump operation.
Increase through-flow rate.

Bypass part of pump discharge to supply tank.
Use seal cavity bypass to increase inlet flow rate.
Diffuser discharge throat partially plugged or

impeller damaged by passage of a solid particle.
Disassemble and inspect. Replace damaged parts.
Corrosion pitting of pump casing and cover plate

surfaces adjacent to impeller blades.
Clean areas of all obstructions and restore surfaces to a smooth,

polished finish free of all corrosion pitting. (Use emery cloth).
Edge of diffuser throat must be sharp. If damage is more severe,
replace the damaged parts.
Excessive recirculation from discharge to inlet.
Check flow through external piping.

Integral centrifugal orifice worn.
Process fluid specific gravity or viscosity different

from values shown on specification sheet.
Check actual viscosity and specific gravity at operating

temperature. Viscosity higher than five centipoise will cause
reduced head and flow and increased power consumption.
Driver speed too low.
Check speed against value listed on specification sheet.
Pressure gauges or flowmeters in error.
Calibrate instrumentation.

POSSIBLE CAUSE
Fluid specific gravity or viscosity higher than

values listed on specification sheet.
Check actual viscosity and specific gravity against value listed on

Electrical failure in electric driver.
Check circuit breaker heater size and setting.

Check voltage.
Current for each phase should be balanced within three percent.
Mechanical failure in driver, gearbox or pump.
Remove driver and check for freedom of rotation of driver and

gearbox shafts.
Remove fluid end and inspect for any mechanical failure.
Mechanical damage to diffuser throat.
Disassemble and inspect. Check diffuser bowl, throat and seal

housing area behind impeller for material buildup. Clean these
areas of all obstruction and restore surfaces to a smooth polished
finish (use emery cloth).
Material buildup or corrosion of diffuser bowl

area or seal housing surface behind impeller.
Edge of diffuser throat must be sharp. If damage is severe (i.e.

impeller is deformed or more than a small amount of material
removed due to contact with diffuser or seal housing) replace the
damaged parts.
Diffuser throat eroded due to discharge

cavitation resulting from excessive flow rate.
CAUTION: Reuse of unbalanced impeller or inducer due to

mechanical damage may cause the gearbox journal bearings to
fail.
Flow rate too low.
Increase flow rate through pump. Add bypass to suction tank if

necessary.
Insufficient NPSH.
Refer to solution for insufficient NPSH under No flow, no

pressure at startup, above.
Defective flow control valve.
Check control valve.
Flow rate too low for control by back pressure

control valve, or too low for parallel pump
operation.
Increase pressure drop between pump and control valve.
Change of gearbox oil

from normal color to
milky pink or yellow
Oil contaminated with water or process fluid.
Increase flow rate.
Shaft sleeve rubs on

inside diameter of
seal.
Gearbox journal bearing failure.
Install new exchange gearbox or repair gearbox as outlined in the

maintenance section.

consumption.
Low speed shaft seal (115) leakage.
Check drain port for leakage. Replace shaft seal if required.
High-speed shaft mechanical seal (60C)

leakage.
Check for fluid leakage from Port 1.
Leakage through heat exchanger into cooling

fluid.
Pressure test heat exchanger and replace if required.
Driver overloaded.

POSSIBLE CAUSE
applicable to a single seal with throttle bushing and double

and tandem seal units. Repair procedures for mechanical
seals are listed in the maintenance section of this manual.
Internal boiling or instability due to pump

operation below minimum flow for smooth
operation, causing vibration and bouncing of seal
face.
Increase flow rate.
Loss of suction or severe cavitation due to low

NPSH, causing seal damage from lack of
lubrication.
Install a double seal if loss of suction cannot be prevented.
Seal icing on low temperature pumps or icing

when handling fluids which vaporize at a
temperature of less than 32F at atmospheric
pressure.
Inject Iso-Hexane, Methanol or Acetone (or a similar compatible

fluid which will not freeze at pump temperature) above single seal
drain port 2 or 7 to prevent ice formation on atmospheric side of
seal during startup.
Provide a cool seal flush.

Bleed vapor in seal cavity through Port 6. A bypass from Port 6
back to the supply tank may be required.
Correct low NPSH condition. The installation of an inducer may

be required.
Use single seal with throttle bushing and purge of dry nitrogen.
Install double or tandem seal if ice is caused by water in process
fluid, or supply external seal flush of compatible fluid which does
not contain water.
Worn or damaged seal.
Disassemble seal and rebuild or replace per instructions in

maintenance section.
Solid particles in seal cavity or seal spring area

(seal faces usually have rough scratched
appearance).
Inspect for clogged integral centrifugal separator orifice. Clean

orifice if necessary.
Seal stationary face spring action is rough and

sticky.
If parts are corroded, replace with parts made from compatible

materials.
Supply clean external seal flush or install double seal if particles

cannot be removed by separator.
If formation of solids causes sticky seal, analyze fluid properties.

Use external seal flush, a double or tandem seal arrangement, or
apply an inert gas purge.
Wear pattern on seal rotating faces not uniform.
Lightly lap surfaces of shaft sleeve and impeller hub which

contact rotating seal face to remove high spots. Install new seal.
Wear pattern on stationary face smooth but not

uniform.
Replace seal.
Seal rotating face cracked or broken. May be

caused by damage at assembly or thermal shock
caused by (1) seal running dry, or (2) rotating
face spinning.
Prevent loss of pump suction or supply continuous external seal

flush.
Install double seal.
Ensure that buffer fluid is always present during operation.
Chemical attack of seal faces, seal parts or

o-rings.
Investigate fluid properties and determine suitable materials for

replacement.
