CHAPTER 1 Introduction
This manual has been prepared so that this Condenser Vacuum Pump System
can be used at a high performance level over a long period of time.
This instruction is meant particularly for those in charge of operational and
maintenance management, including the sections on operating principle,
installation, operation, maintenance, disassembly, and reassembly.
The manual should be carefully read prior to pump operation with all precautions
taken in handling, inspection and maintenance.
CHAPTER 2 General Description
The unit is excellently designed to extract air from the condenser, creating a
vacuum. This automatic unit consists of liquid ring vacuum pump, separator, seal
water cooler, various types of valves, bed plate, and the interconnecting pipes.
When the unit is started, air and steam are drawn from the condenser, by the
action of the vacuum pump, into its inlet, and exhausted from the outlet, together
with the sealing water, into the separator. The air, separated from the sealing water
in the separator, is exhausted into the atmosphere; the sealing water is cooled by
the seal water cooler and recycled into the vacuum pump. Due to leakage from the
gland, or evaporation into the atmosphere as vapor and steam, loss of some
sealing water lowers the water level in the separator, whereas water is fed by a
sealing water supplementary feed valve installed in the separator so as to keep the
water normal level.
In addition, when the water level of the separator rises, water is automatically
discharged by the action of the overflow valve.
With a spring-back automatic valve installed at the gas intake port, the valve is
designed to shut immediately when the vacuum pump stops suddenly, or
instrumentation air or electric power source are cut off, therefore, there is no
leakage from vacuum pump to condenser.
CHAPTER 3 Operating Principle of Liquid Ring Vacuum pump
There is no need to lubricate the inside of this vacuum pump since there are few
parts subjected to mechanical friction the pump being of simple construction, in
addition to the fact that it uses liquid as a piston. Also there is no need to
accommodate pulsation due to continuous pumpdown. Further, mixing water with
１
gases is permissible.
Having these features, troubles are minimized and maintenance simplified.
As shown in Fig. 3-1,the pump casing is eccentric and the impeller has a number
of blades, all of which bend toward the direction of rotation. As the impeller rotates,
liquid retained within the casing in pressed against the inner wall of the casing due
to centrifugal force and forms a film of liquid in the form of eccentric circles.
Consequently, a space is generated at the part indicated by (A) in the figure and
the space between the adjacent two blades functions as cylinder, while the liquid
functions as a piston moving up and down inside the blades, performing an action
similar to that of a reciprocating pump. In other words, a gaseous body entering
from the "INLET" comes into the space between the blades by way of the intake
port of the port plate as shown by the arrow (→) in the figure, moving according to
the rotation of the impeller; after being subject to the expansion and compression
strokes, it is exhausted 'from the "OUTLET" as indicated by the arrow (→) .

CHAPTER 4 Installations
 WARNING
CONDENSER VACUUM PUMP is heavy. Failure to properly lift and support

equipment could result in serious physical injury, or damage to CONDENSER
VACUUM PUMP.
4-1. Unpacking
On unpacking, check the number of machines and accessories, collating with the
shipping note attached to the packages. Next, check if the goods are free of damage
caused during transportation.
In the event of shortage or damage being found, please contact the shipping agency
and us.
4-2. Foundation of Pump

(1) Foundation of the pump can be made generally by concrete. And pump is fixed to
the foundation by embedded anchor bolts.
The types of foundation, shown in FIG.4-1 are often employed as for simple
installation.
The foundation should be as rigid as possible to prevent possible displacement and
vibration, and damage.
The foundation should be decided so that its natural frequency dose not coincides
with the pump speed to prevent vibration.
Generally, the weight of the pump foundation should be approximately three to four
times the total weight of the equipment when the pump is directly coupled to motor.
Before concreting, excavate an area of sufficient size than place stones in the base,
compact the stones then provide shuttering or frames. Pour/concrete into the frame.
(For the foundation, concrete with a ratio of cement, sand and gravel of 1:2:4 is
generally used. Its specific gravity is approximately from 2.3 to 2.4.)
The strength of the concrete should be from 18 to 21 MPa.
When the ground is not strong enough, arrange piles under the foundation for
reinforcement.
Concrete should be cured for about two weeks after placing. The pump should not
be installed until the concrete is set sufficiently.
Anchor bolts are as shown in FIG. 4-2.
For types, make holes for the bolts beforehand, decide the location of the pump
and fill the holes with grout after leveling and alignment are accomplished; and then
３
tighten the bolts.
Holes for anchor bolts should be both wide and deep enough.
FIG.4-1 Foundations of the Pump FIG.4-2 Foundations Bolts
4-3. Installation of the Pump

(1) Clean the surface of the foundation concrete after chipping of the surface.
(2) Lay a set of steel packers wedges (or tapered liners, a set consists of two
tapered pieces; flat steel plates can also be used) at both sides of the bolt holes
and the position where it is mostly loaded after the foundation has been
perfected, then place the pump base on the packers as is shown in FIG.4-3. At
this time, suspend the foundation bolts through the holes of the base into the
openings in the foundation.
FIG.4-3 Adjusting by Wedges
(3) Adjust the wedges or packers until the pump and driver are level.
Though both pump and motor are installed on the common base, it is often
misaligned when the base is installed incorrectly so it is important to level exactly
by shimming as described above at the time of installation.
４
Upper side of the circumference of shaft coupling or machined face of the
common base (i.e. where the pump or the pump is mounted) should be the
reference plane for the leveling.
Allowance of leveling is less than 0.1 mm per 1 m.
(4) Leaving the shims under the base after these works, grout into the holes in the
foundation, between pump base and the foundation concrete, and inside the
base sufficiently to make them part of the concrete structure.
(5) After grout has set completely (it takes about two weeks), tighten the nuts of the
foundation bolts sufficiently maintaining the alignment between the pump and the
driver.
(6) Then rotate the shaft by hand and check whether or not it rotates smoothly, this
is to check that there are no obstructions in the bearing or inside of the pump.
Re-check the alignment between pump and motor again. Please refer to
"CHAPTER 7 Alignment of Couplings".
(7) Install coupling bolts to the shaft coupling after they have been aligned.
4-4. Piping
Pay attention to the following for connection with the pump.
 CAUTION
(1) On piping of the pump, plan the layout of the pipes so that it may not be
inconvenient at the time of disassembly or inspection.
(2) In order that the inside of pipe shall remain clear of foreign matter such
as weld spatters, etc., thoroughly check the pipe and remove such
objects before connecting piping.
(3) When connecting pipes, never try to draw the connection together by
force, connect only flanges, which are in actual contact.
(4) Supports should be provided at appropriate points so that the weight of
the piping will not be directly applied to the unit.
(5) To tighten the flange, tighten the bolts in symmetric alternation to avoid
one-sided tightening.
(6) On completion of piping, check that the pump rotates smoothly without
obstruction and that no deviation from center has occurred in the direct
coupling.
(7) Finally, leak test the piping, particularly of the vacuum line.
4-5. Centering of shaft line

Flanged shaft coupling
After installation of the unit, check the alignment between the vacuum pump and the
motor.
For further details, please refer to the "CHAPTER 7 Alignment of Couplings".
５
CHAPTER 5 Operation
5-1. Preparations for operation on Condenser Vacuum Pump
WARNING
For operation, never touch rotating parts during operation.

Personal injuries will result if above-mentioned procedures are not followed.
Remove the bolts in the shaft coupling when installed and check the direction of
rotation of the motor by inching whether it is in accordance with that of pump.
The arrow plates labeled on the pump show the direction of rotation. When the
direction is incorrect, correct rotation can be achieved by changing two of the three
cable connections.
Pump shall never be operated without coupling cover installed correctly.
CAUTION
Do not operate the pump without seal liquid in it.

If it is operated without seal liquid inside the pump, it doesn't operate as vacuum
pump as well as it may cause binding due to internal contact by sliding parts.
Do not operate the pump without Grease in bearing.
This leads to the damage of the bearing.
Start according to the following procedures.
(1) Preparations before start up of Seal Water Pump (If applicable)

(2) Confirmation of utility
(a) SEPARATOR TANK ---- Confirm supply of make up water.
(b) HEAT EXCHANGER ---- Confirm supply of cooling water.
(c) ELECTRICITY ---- Confirm supply of power.
(d) INSTRUMENT AIR ---- Confirm supply of instrument air.
(3) Confirmation of valve
Confirm valve is opened or closed.
(a) Closed Valve ---- DRAIN VALVES.
(CASING, SEPARATOR TANK, HEAT EXCHANGER, etc.)
(b) Opened Valve ---- MAKE-UP WATER INLET VALVE.
(4) Supply cooling water to the heat exchanger.
(5) Filling of seal water
(a) Open the “Seal water make-up by-pass valve ” to feed seal water into the
separator. (The seal water flows through the heat exchanger and into the vacuum pump.)
(b) After the seal water level of level gauge rising to over flow level, close the
“Seal water make-up by-pass valve ”.
6
(c) Immediately after installation, seal water will becomes dirty because of the
stain inside the pipe. Exchange seal water until the water becomes clean.
5-2. Method of Operation
WARNING
For operation, never touch rotating parts during operation.

CAUTION
Do not operate the pump without seal liquid in it.

If it is operated without seal liquid inside the pump, it doesn't operate as vacuum
pump as well as it may cause binding due to internal contact by sliding parts.
Start according to the following procedures.
a) This exhaust unit performs full-automatic discharge of air from condensers.

Neither selection of Hogging/Holding operation nor valve operation is necessary.
b) Please switch the stand-by pump and the operating pump at least
once every two weeks. ( 2 weeks interval )
c) Vacuum pump and seal water pump shall be started simultaneously.
7
5-2-1. Hogging operations
When vacuum in the condenser is low and the unit operates with a condenser vacuum
pump intake pressure in low vacuum, intake gas is compressed only in the first stage of
the vacuum pump; the second stage is not used for compression.
(OPTION)
(OPTION)
FIG.5-1 Hogging Operation

5-2-2. Holding operations
When vacuum in the condenser is high and the condenser vacuum pump begins a
normal holding operation, intake gas is compressed to a certain level in the first stage
of the vacuum pump, then enters the inlet of the second stage, to be compressed to
atmospheric pressure.
(OPTION)
(OPTION)
FIG.5-2 Holding Operation

]5-3. Method of measurement for condenser leakage (If applicable)
With the use of a gas flow meter attached to the separator, inert gas leakage amount
into the condenser can be easily measured during holding operation.
The flow meter has Kg/H indication, and the amount of inert gas can be read directly.
Method of Flow Meter Operation (See FIG. 5-3 and 5-4)
(1) Fully open the inlet valve of the flow meter.

(2) Fully close the gas outlet valve in the upper part of the separator.
Pull the chain of gas outlet valve, and keep that state.
If the float of the flow meter should move up and down, close the flow meter
inlet valve a little more.
Upon completion of measurement, reset the flow meter in its initial state.
For resetting, follow the above procedure reversal (from 2 to 1).
Caution.
Strictly follow the procedure described above, since when all the air outlets are
closed due to wrong operation, pressure inside the separator rises, causing
overload on the vacuum pump, etc.

5-4.Cautions after Shutdown

Lock out motor power for accident rotation after shutdown of Vacuum Pump.
CAUTION
Cautions after Shutdown
When taking pump out of service for a long time, apply rust inhibitors on
exposed parts of coupling and shaft; Also drain water from casings and side
covers.
Special attentions should be drawn in cold districts because it may damage
the pump due to freezing.
Electric motors should be kept free from dust and moisture during shutdown.
When the pump is made up entirely of cast iron, impellers may often bind to
port plates due to rust, so rotate the pump by hand once a day so that the
impellers may not bind to port plates during shutdown for a long time. When
starting pump again after shutdown for a long time, it should not be started
until checking has been made in the same way as the initial operation.

CAUTION
Close the valve in the suction line completely (when check valve is not installed in
the suction line) as soon as possible and then switch off the power source when
the pump is stopped due to power failure during operation.
Check each part after power recovery and then operate the pump again
according to the procedures of the operation.
11
CHAPTER 6 Maintenance
WARNING
1. Lock out driver power during stoppage by maintenance.

2. For maintenance, never touch rotating parts during operation.
6-1. Maintenance
CAUTION
The pump should not be inspected only when defects are found during operation, it
should also be periodically inspected (generally once a year) in detail so that it can
always be operated normally.
For this purpose, maintain a record of all maintenance and inspections of the pump
and also record other relevant details of the daily report of operation. If changes are
observed, investigate the reason and make the necessary corrections.

6-4. Maintenance of Stuffing Box
6-4-1 Nominal Size of Gland Packings and Length of a Ring

There are two kinds in nominal size of gland packing; i.e. inch size series and mm
size series.
Although nominal size of a mm size into which an inch size has been converted
and nominal size of a mm size are almost same, it may not be used because
tolerances between them are different.
So handle them paying attention to the following;
① Specify as " for the use of pump " at the time of purchasing.
② Do not decide whether it can be used or not by nominal size of purchasing.
(Measure each size of gland packing at purchasing and provide labels on which
the measured sizes are stamped.)
③ Measure the sizes of both stuffing box and gland packings to check whether they
can be used or not before application.
Gland packing of different size series is employed in EVMA series pumps

depending on the type. Please arrange equivalent packings according to the
sectional drawing at the time of purchasing.
14
A length of gland packing should equal to the length of the outer circumference of
the shaft sleeve.
Wind a cord of gland packing a little loosely around the round bar of which
diameter is equal to that of shaft sleeve and cut it apart as is shown in Fig.-6.1.(1)
When there is no such round bar, measure the diameter of the shaft sleeve
(d)and inner diameter of stuffing box (D) and cut gland packing so that its length
may be two or four percent longer than average length of circumference.
That is, it is expressed in the following formula;
A length of a ring＝ (1.02～1.04) π(d＋D)／2
FIG.6-1. Cutting and inserting Gland Packing

6-4-2 Insertion of Gland Packing
CAUTION
1. Gland packing may be squeezed out of stuffing box and the gland may
be heated up by rubbing against the shaft sleeve if gland packing has
been inserted incorrectly. So the gland packing should not protrude out
of the box and the gland should be inserted 1 to 3 mm into the stuffing
box.
Insert packing so that adjacent joints are 90°from one another with
15
packing ring ends butting together squarely as is shown in Fig.6.1(2).
Packing rings should be inserted carefully one by one.
2. Tighten the packing little by little after the vacuum pump starts.
You can not check the effect of adjusting the packing at once,
so wait a little. (about 2 or 3 minutes after one action)
First, screw the nuts to tighten the gland lightly. Then regulate the nuts
gradually so that water is dripping from stuffing box constantly
during operation. Tighten the gland little by little as leakage increases.
Replace with new packing if leakages become excessive.
3. If the gland is overheated by over tightening, the original condition
cannot be recovered by the loosening of gland nuts; so be careful not to
over tighten.
If the gland leaks excessively, disassemble the gland and install new
gland packing.
4. If a shaft sleeve of which the surface has been damaged by abrasion
or scratches due is gland packing, any leakage will continue and the
new gland packing will be abraded rapidly. So correct the sleeve surface
by machining when it is only slightly damaged and replace it with a new
one when the damage is considerable.

6-5. Maintenance of Bearings
Lubrication Grease for Bearing
It is of grease lubrication. Lubrication grease should suitably be selected and be
used for pump speed.
Please refer to "6-6. List of Lubrication Grease".
CAUTION
The grease should be equivalent to JIS K 2220 Lubricating Grease for

Antifriction Bearing, Class 1 No.2 Lithium Soap.
Wash and clean them sufficiently with light oil or kerosene and repack with
new grease once a year.
Do not mix grease of different brands; additives may be different from
each other in greases of different brands or different manufacturers. When
you want to change a brand or a manufacturer, wash them off and then
replace with new grease.
Temperature of Bearings
When the pump is operated, temperature of bearings will rise due to friction heat
of bearings. Though, it becomes a constant value by radiation effect after it has
reached a level.
CAUTION
Stop the pump and check the reason if it has risen more than allowable
range.
Maximum allowable temperature of the bearings are prescribed to be "not more
℃ ) measured at the surface of
than ambient temperature plus 40℃(Max. 75℃
bearing" according to JIS B8301. The reasons why temperature of bearings rises
extremely are thought as follows;
CAUTION
1. Misalignment
Temperature of the bearings may be increased because it is loaded with
more than rated value when operated in misalignment.
Align correctly.
17
2. Insufficiency of Grease
When grease is insufficient in bearing case, oil film may not be formed
because bearings are not supplied with sufficient grease and then
temperature may be raised; This leads to the damage of the bearing.
Replace or fill up greases periodically.
3. Oversupply of Grease
Temperature may be raised by oversupply of grease; so it should be
filled up properly.
A half or two thirds of the volume inside the bearing case is the
standard.
Please refer to "6. List of Lubrication Grease".
4. Grease Inappropriate
When grease is chosen inappropriately for the speed of rotation of
bearing, oil film cannot be formed and heat is generated. And when
viscosity is too high, heat is also generated due to increase of agitation
loss.
Employ proper grease for the specification.
5. Incorrect Installation of Bearings

If the fit between bearing and shaft or between bearing and bearing
case is too tight, clearances inside the bearing are reduced by thermal
expansion; this leads to temperature rise and then leads to binding.
Pay attention to fit of the bearing and side clearance at disassembly
and assembly.
6. Other reasons
Particles coming into bearing or rusting in bearing, etc.
Spoiled or dirty grease may reduce lubrication and produce rust, so it
should be replaced in suitable periods.

CHAPTER 7 Alignment of Couplings (Reference only)
 WARNING
1. Never touch rotating parts (i.e. shaft, coupling) during operation.

2. Lock out motor power to prevent accidental rotation and physical injury
3. Align again after installation and piping.
4. Make certain that direction of rotation incorrect.
5. Incorrect rotation can damage this compressor or cause injury
7-1.Alignment of Couplings
(1) Flexible Flange Shaft Coupling (hereinafter called "shaft coupling")(JIS B1452)
Though shaft coupling allows small paralleled and angular misalignment and
absorbs vibration and noise, life of rubber bushes on the coupling bolts may be
shortened greatly and the characteristics of the pump and motor may be influenced
greatly if misalignment is in excess. Alignment should be carried out exactly.
The pump and driver have been aligned exactly on the surface table before
shipment in our factory. It may be misaligned because of incorrect foundation or
incorrect piping at the installation of the pump, so be sure to check alignment before
operation of the pump.
And keep the records of alignment for the maintenance in the future.
Both disassembly and assembly processes are described in the following.
For the alignment after installation, please begin with 1-(3).
(2) Preparations for Alignment

a. Installs shaft coupling halves on pump and motor.
b. Measure run out of outer diameters and faces of the shaft coupling halves by dial
indicator as shown in FIG.7-1 and check whether they are within the allowances.
c. Install pump and motor on the common base.

difference between each centers by straightedge and feeler gauge or micro depth
gauge as shown in FIG.7-2
b. Adjust the height by inserting shims. Allowance is not more than 0.05 mm.
(The surface of the motor base on the common base is machined from 0.5 to 1.0
mm lower than the pump base and the shims have been inserted under the motor
in our factory.)
c. Outer diameters of the coupling halves being standard, align the shafts of the
pump and the motor applying straightedge at top, bottom and both sides of them.
For clearance between coupling halves, please refer to Table.7-2 and the outline
drawing.
Check whether set bolts for the pump and the motor are loosened or not.
d. Insert a coupling bolt into the coupling and mark a reference line on the outer
diameters of the coupling halves.
e. Measurement of Eccentricity (Parallel Misalignment)
Mount a dial indicator as shown in FIG.7-4, and by rotating the coupling and the
reference line being standards, measure the eccentricity at top, bottom and at both
sides of the line and record them.
f. Measurement of Deviation Angle (Angular Misalignment)

mistakes in the process of disassembly.
Please refer to "SECTIONAL DRAWING" for disassembly and reassembly.
(2) Once the pump has been disassembled, gaskets (or liquid gasket), gland
packing, O-rings and bearings are damaged more or less, so they had better be
replaced completely by new ones. Please prepare them beforehand. They
should be same material and same size with the first ones.
(3) Impeller, port plates, shaft, etc. are very important parts, so inspect them exactly
one by one and record them.
(4) Clean the passage of gas and seal liquid (or seal water) sufficiently.
(5) At the time of disassembly, record the sequence of disassembling of the parts or
lay the parts in the order of disassembly. This will make reassembly process
easier.
(Though there are parts of which shape is very similar, they must be clearly
distinguished whether they are on coupling side or on end side.)
8-2. Disassembly
WARNING
Before disassembly of the coupling guard is performed, the motor must be

de-energized and the motor controller/starter put in a locked-out position.
24
(1) Drain liquid from the casing and the side cover (using the drain plug of the

29
8-3. Cautions on Reassembly
Reassembly can be carried out almost in the reverse order to disassembly,
though, the following precautions are necessary.
CAUTION
(1) Coat the surfaces to be joined together, such as between side covers and
casings and also between side covers and port plates with liquid gasket.
(For this pump, use Three Bond TB-1194 or its equivalent.)
(2) The disassembled bearings removed for periodic inspection are replaced by new
ones, and they should be packed with new grease.
(3) O-rings removed from the disassembled parts are replaced with new ones.
Correct defects or replace with new ones if any.
(4) Surfaces to be joined together or parts to be fitted should be cleaned sufficiently.

Check these parts or surfaces completely whether they may have any flaws or
not, because they are sometimes made at disassembly. File away flaws and
burrs completely.
Liquid gasket which has been used on the surfaces is removed.
(5) Clearances between impellers and port plates have a great effect on the
characteristic of the pump. At the time of reassembly, reassemble the pump
checking the dimension of clearance.
(6) Clearances between impellers and port plates are very small so accurate
measurement is necessary.
Prepare dial indicator, micrometer and micro depth gauge for measurement.
(7) When casings, impellers, shaft, port plates and distance liner (impeller liner) are
newly replaced, clearances between impellers and port plates may be changed,
so adjusting of the clearances is necessary.
(8) Measure the dimension of parts that influence inside clearances before
reassembly.
Measure the width of impellers and casings, the length of distance liner (impeller
liner) and the width of port plates that joined discharge side one and suction side
one, and then record them. Measurement accuracy is 1/100 mm unit.

8-5. Adjusting of Side Clearances
CAUTION
Clearances between impellers and port plates have a great effect on the
characteristic of the pump.
A pump as a finished product is shipped after adjusting the clearance to a reference
value at our plant.
When casings, impellers, shaft, port plates and distance liner (impeller liner) are
newly replaced, clearances between impellers and port plates may be changed, so
adjusting of the clearances is necessary.
Also, positioning dimensions may change after the renewal of such components as
a bearing housing and a ball bearing, and an assembly work must be done after
necessary adjustment.
In order to position the shaft, the dial gauge is used and the crevice size between
impeller and port plates are checked.
The dial gauge is attached at the shaft end of coupling side, then the shaft is
moved forward and backward, and the amount of movements is measured
correctly.
(35) Remove the shim between the bearing housing

and the holder.
