The foundations must be sized to withstand the loads caused by the centrifugal
pump. The customer will be provided with a load plan.
The pump must be easily accessible. The operator must provide safe means of
access (e.g. ladders, platforms…)
Area around machine and marked escapes to be kept clear. Area around
machine must be marked as danger zone.
Make sure machine and surrounding area are kept clean. In particular, oil and
grease on the floor and on machine elements may cause slipping. Thus, they
present a considerable risk of injuries, particularly in combination with tools.
The floor around the centrifugal pump must be provided with a non-slip finish.
In order to prevent any falls from or damage to the machine, it is forbidden to
climb onto machine elements or on the machine (except for the treading areas
provided). Use ladders or similar equipment in accordance with recognized
standards.
Ramps, platforms and lifts must be used to avoid injury or excessive physical
effort.
2.10
Temperature
As the temperature of the medium can exceed 73°C, the housing and covers
prevent from direct contact with the medium. Danger symbols mounted on the
machine warn against the hot surface. It is compulsory to wear personal safety
equipment in the immediate vicinity of the pump.
The operator is responsible for informing new personnel on the danger of burns
and for implementing further safety mwasures, e.g. insulation or access
restrictions.
No maintenance work should be carried out until the hot surface has cooled
down.
The centrifugal pump can be designed for a media temperature of up to180°C. If
media with temperatures higher than 65°C are to be pumped, the operator must
take the necessary safety measures (e.g. safety devices, protective gloves,
training of operating staff, etc.).
2.11
Noise
The total noise emissions from all machines in the production room can restrict
spoken communication and impair hearing.
The machine is designed such that no operator is required in the immediate
vicinity of the machine. Appropriate hearing protection should be worn
throughout maintenance and adjusting work while the machine is running.

Electrical equipment
All work on the electrical equipment, without exception, must be carried out by
skilled electricians.
Any form of contact with electrical equipment may cause fatal injuries. Before
beginning any maintenance or repair work, the operator must disconnect the
energy supply to all drives securely. This can be achieved with a maintenance
switch, lockable racks in the MCC, or with other suitable measures that comply
with the safety regulations.
Employees performing work on live parts should be accompanied by an
assistant who can operate the emergency switch if necessary.
Users of medical electronic equipment, such as pacemakers, must not enter the
electric danger zone.
Earthing
Machine must be earthed to avoid electrostatic loading. Machine, gears and
motors must be connected to the earthing system.
Machine must be earthed to avoid electrostatic loading.
Proper earthing must be restored after conducting maintenance work (e.g.
check and set the earthing resistance)
2.13
Fluids (liquids, gases, vapor or smoke)
Unintentional chemical reactions may take place in the medium during a
prolonged standstill and hazardous fumes may be produced.
The machine must be thoroughly cleaned after prolonged stoppages. The area
must be adequately ventilated.
Before beginning work on the machine, ensure that no liquids, gases, vapors or
smoke can enter the working area from feed pipes, discharge pipes or shafts.
If it is not possible to reliably exclude the risk of liquids, gases, vapours or
smoke flowing in, all persons working in the danger zone must be quipped with
a safety harness and a safety rope. Each worker must be monitored by a
second person outside the danger zone. It must always be possible to evacuate
a worker from the danger zone without delay.
Any leakage (e.g. at the shaft seal) of hazardous media (e.g. explosive, toxic,
hot) must be drained off in such a way that there is no risk to individuals, nor to
the environment. Any legal regulations must be observed.

Hydrogen peroxide H2O2

Caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) (NaOH)

Silicate

DTPA
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and caustic soda (NaOH) can irritate or even burn
the skin and mucous membrane, particularly the eyes, and can also lead to
inflammations of the respiratory system.
In addition, please note that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is not combustible, but
enhances the combustibility of other substances.
Reactions
In reactions with other substances, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and caustic soda
(NaOH) can lead to highly exothermic reactions, heat generation, and danger of
ignition or generating of inflammable gases or vapours, even to a risk of
explosion.
Safety data sheets
If chemicals are used, the measures prescribed in the safety data sheets for the
individual chemicals must be observed.
The user shall be responsible for the following, among other things:

Staff wearing personal safety attire, particularly adequate eye protection

Installing water connections and emergency showers in order to rinse the
eyes or skin under running water in the event of an emergency and have a
source of drinking water if any chemicals are inadvertently swallowed.

Providing medical treatment in emergencies

Preventing any chemical reactions that can lead to a risk of fire or
explosion

Regular training on the properties and handling regulations for the
chemicals used.

Mounting of safety signs on the plant (e.g. warning against toxic or
corrosive substances)

Mounting devices for flushing the pump (e.g. the inlet flange) in order to
Page 21 of 117
clean the pump from aggressive media.

Interlocking the chemical feed so that no more chemicals can flow into the

Shaft seal
The application limit for the appropriate shaft seal (Andritz cartridge
mechanical seal – single / double, Standard cartridge mechanical seal –
single / double, Single standard mechanical seal, Tandem standard
mechanical seal, Stuffing box packing, Dynamic shaft seal) can be
obtained in writing from the pump manufacturer and is also shown in the
data sheet (see Chapter on “Technical Date”)
Material to be
conveyed/medium
The centrifugal pump ACP is used to pump non-combustible liquids and
pulps.
Before planning the use of combustible liquids (solvent, petrol, alcohol
etc.), it is essential to consult ANDRITZ AG beforehand!
Lower flashpoints of combustible liquids can lead to hazards due to fire or
explosion.
Zone allocation
The ACP centrifugal pump is not intended for use in a potentially explosive
environment / atmosphere. The ACP centrifugal pump is intended for use
outside a zone, according to guideline 1999/92/EG (gases/vapors and
dust).
A change of zone e.g. to zone 2 or zone 22 must be documented in writing
and can entail additional costs as well as delays in delivery.
Page 44 of 117
Permitted forces
and torques
The permitted forces and torques according to Table (Tab.3-27) should
not be exceeded.
As a general principle, the suction and delivery pipes must be connected
up stress-free. We recommend checking this item before initial start-up.
The values stated apply to the spiral casing made of steel casing
with base frame grouted in.
For other designs, the following figures apply:

Technological description
Definition
The centrifugal pump is to be used for an application according to the
purchase order specification to convey specified media observing the
manufacturer’s instructions. If any changes are made and the pump is to
be used for an application not specified, the manufacturer must be
contacted beforehand. (e.g. ATEX sector)
Fig. 3-38 Centrifugal pump
Supply of medium
The medium reaches the impeller through a suction pipe that connects up
to the horizontal axial flange.
Pressure increase
The medium is drawn in by the single-flow impeller in axial direction.
In the impeller, the medium undergoes radial acceleration–thus obtaining
speed energy-due to the rotational energy and the shape of the blades
(changing from axial to radial).In the spiral casing the speed energy is
converted into pressure energy. The medium then enters the delivery
pipe, which is converted into pressure energy. The medium then enters
the delivery pipe, which is connected to the vertical outlet flange.

Centrifugal pump requirements (delivery head and flow
rate)
Sizing
The pump sizing (delivery head/flow rate0 refers to the values shown on
the pump’s type plate.
The values obtainable for head and flow rate can be read off the impeller
diameter and the defined operating speed is shown in the performance
diagram.
If the impeller diameter or speed of the pump is changed, the duty point
moves to a different performance curve for head and flow rate.
Performance
change during
operation
The power consumption point on the curve can be changed by opening or
closing the valve in the delivery pipe further or by altering the pump speed.
Do not operate the pump with the valves closed as this may cause
damage to the pump!
CAUTION
Changing the
Operating
parameters
Too low NPSH plant value can cause damage to the impeller!
If the operating parameters for which the pump has been sized are
changed, the following considerations should also be taken into account:





All parameters for the pump (pressure, impeller diameter…) were sized
for the original duty point. These factors should be fully checked for the
new operating conditions.
The centrifugal pump can be operated for a short time with the delivery
valve closed. For continuous operation, however, a minimum flow rate
is required. The curve shown in the performance diagram for the
required suction pressure (set NPSH pump begins at the point of the
permitted continuous minimum flow rate.
The inlet characteristics of the system (actual NPSH plant), as well as the
drive motor and shaft outputs, must always be checked under changed
operating conditions.
The efficiency of the pump is the deciding factor in its overall service
life, thus the power requirement of the pump must be checked.
The performance diagram is based on values with clean water. If other
liquids are pumped, the data on delivery head and flow rate, as well as
power requirement, may change. These factors were taken into account
when the pump was originally selected and should also be considered
in the light of any new operating conditions.
