AIR ENTRAINMENT, SUCTION BELL AND SCREEN

PREFERRED
Do not discharge 'in-flow' above DISCHARGE
the surface. Entrained air can POSITION
be carried to a nearby suction
pipe. The pump will lose ENTRAINED
performance, efficiency, and AIR BUBBLES
possibly prime. Extend the pipe ADDING A
below the minimum pumpage BAFFLE
level (shown by dashed line). MAY HELP
Adding a baffle may help if the
'in-flow' already contains air
bubbles. Do not let the flow
cascade over the baffle.

A suction bell reduces inlet losses and


helps suppress vortexing.

A 'basket' screen may be used. The


open area should be at least four
times the pipe area. Screen opening
size must be less than the maximum
solid passing capacity of the system.
Avoid use of very fine screen. It will
plug easily and possibly collapse. If
very small particles must be avoided,
consider the use of another type of
protection. The screen is also a safety
feature should someone fall or swim
close to the suction inlet.

SUBMERGENCE
VG VORTEX

SUBMERGENCE (d)

Proper submergence is required


to stop vortexing, which can make
the pump lose prime, reduce head,
reduce flow, lower efficiency and
cause noise.

from the pump and suction line, flow will
begin to happen.

THE PUMP DISCHARGE BUBBLES LIFT

STOPS AIR

When the pump is operating at a high


suction lift, it may aspirate air through
the packing, which will migrate to the
suction via the balance line. This is
corrected by injecting liquid from the
pump discharge to an annular spacer in
the packing area called a lantern ring.
Small bubbles become large bubbles
in the impeller eye. This will cause the
pump to lose performance, efficiency,
and possibly cavitate or lose prime.

BEARING LUBRICATION AND TEMPERATURE

OIL LEVEL INDICATOR

Bearing temperatures to 160°F (71°C) are normal. Temperatures over 200°F (93°C) are too high. The human
hand can not estimate high temperatures. Use a thermometer or other device for temperature measurement.

IMPORTANT
A. Oil level must be correct before unit is started.

B. Oil lubricated frames must be installed horizontally and level.

C. Grease lubricated motors and frames must be maintained per instructions accompanying
the pump. Grease code EP-2 is recommended for most applications. Added grease must
be the same type as recommended in the O&M manual.

D. Oil and grease should not be mixed.
