CNV Vertical Pumps
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT
The vertical shaft pumps have very important advantages in the construction of stations
for pumkeyg clean or charged liquids, particularly in the industrial sector. These pumps
whose chambers are completely immersed in the liquid, require no priming.
The reduced space requirement facilitate installation when there is limited space.
The rotation of the vertical shaft eliminates the influence of its weight on the support and
ensures a long life for guide rings. These rings, lubricated by the liquid, are made in
special material offering a very low friction coefficient.
When the liquid to be pumped is charged with abrasive materials, the transmission shaft
is not in contact with these substances, since it can be clad with an extra tube in which
clarified water is circulated at a pressure slightly greater than that of the pumped liquid in
order to lubricate the rings with the clarified water.
The installation of vertical pumps is very simple. The pump is descended into the basin
where it is ready to work.
11. Description
The vertical shaft pump essentially consists of:
• the lifting head,
• the shaft line with one or several bearings,
• the pump casing with one or several stages.
11.1. Lifting head

The lifting head supports the whole of the unit. The lift opening provides a
connection with the delivery conduit above the installation plane.
In special cases, the lifting head is placed below this plane, directly on the
vertical shaft line. The head is fitted with bushes which support the weight
of the rotating parts and the axial thrust.
11.2. Shaft line

It couples the hydraulic part to the motor components. It transmits the
movement and positions the pump casing at the desired depth.
It consists of the intermediate tube and the transmission shaft, fitted with
bronze or carbon bushes lubricated by the pumped water. This shaft line is
made in various tube lengths for obtaining the desired depths.
11.3. Pump casing

Priming is certain, due to its permanent immersion in the fluid.
The pump, formed from one or several chambers with closed or half-open
impellers, is fixed to the shaft line.
It is desirable to use a suction strainer in order to avoid the introduction of
solid bodies.
11.4. Fitting plate

• rectangular or circular,

INSTALLATION
The installation phase of the motor-pump unit on the site of operation is fundamental.
The correct operation of the pump in use depends on certain factors which it is
necessary to note when installing.
Note: if the site allows it, you are advised to install the pump in a "sheltered" place, to
avoid exposure to bad weather.
The following work and checks are necessary:
Check the level of the ground. The seating of the motor-pump/frame unit
must be as flat and horizontal as possible. Carry out civil engineering if
necessary.
The frame of the motor-pump unit must be rigidly fixed to the
ground or on the tank.
No check on the alignment of the motor with the pump is necessary, because
the pump-motor connection is preadjusted.
The junction of the pump with the pipework must occur without force. The best
connection is that where the screws pass freely in the holes of the pipes.
The pipe gaskets must in no case extend into the interior of the opening.
It is best to match the bolts to the diameters of the holes of the pipes.

COMMISSIONING / DECOMMISSIONING
15. COMMISSIONING
15.1. Check before the first commissioning or after a prolonged stop
Before the first commissioning, or after a prolonged stop, we carry out the
following checks:
c Direction of rotation
The direction of rotation of the motor must correspond with the
direction indicated by the arrow on the pump. It is possible to briefly
start the motor to check the direction of rotation, with the pump
uncoupled.
Before commissioning, check that the pump shaft is really

immobile and doesn't turn in the opposite direction. If the
adjustment components are not sealed, this can in fact be due to
the reverse direction of out-flow of the fluid in the installation.
A reverse direction of rotation can lead to damage to the pump.
d Shaft
Make sure that the pump shaft rotates freely by hand
e Levels
It is essential to check (if possible) the level of the fluid to be
pumped in the suction tank.
f Motor
If the motor has remained some time without working (~ 6 months),
turn the shaft by hand,
g Reverse rotation
Don't start the pump when the shaft is in reverse rotation.If
necessary close the suction valve
h Packing/Mechanical seal
The packing or mechanical seal (non-standard model) prevents
fluid from going up to the upper part of the base plate. The packing
must only be tightened slightly by hand before commissioning.
___________________________________________________________________
9.28.728 Rev: 1
User's manual COMMISSIONING / DECOMMISSIONING
CNV Vertical Pumps
i Prolonged stop
Check the state and quantity of grease in the bearing,
If the stop exceeds one year, change the gasket on the delivery
flange.
NOTE: You are advised to order a complete set of gaskets as

soon as there is a prolonged stop.
15.2. Operating under load
c Adjustment components on the suction and delivery side
The isolation valves on the suction and delivery side are fully open.
d Operating with the adjustment component closed on the

delivery side
It must not operate for longer than one minute with the adjustment
component on the delivery side closed, because there is excessive
overheating of the product to be pumped, which can lead to
damage to the pump.
e Control over flow

When the nominal speed of rotation is reached, check that the flow
settles at its set value (this flow is adjusted during first
commissioning. The intensity of start-up is checked at the same
time).
f Liquid conveyed with higher specific weight

If the specific weight of the fluid is higher than planned at the start, it
is necessary to avoid overloading the drive motor.
The power absorbed by the pump is directly proportional to the
specific mass.
g Running at higher flow than the normal flow

If a higher flow than that initially planned occurs, it is necessary to
ensure that the available load is sufficient for low load heights,
without risk of cavitation.
h Temporary filter
After some hours operation, check the cleanliness of the filter when
rinsing, failing which there could be clogging likely to cause
cavitation and deterioration of the shaft seal. (This filter will be
removed for definitive operation).
___________________________________________________________________
9.28.728 Rev: 1
CNV Vertical Pumps
15.3. In operation
c Starting
The number of starts per hour is limited to 5.
A higher number causes excessive overheating and damage to the
motor.
Wait 2 to 3 hours before beginning a new series of
successive starts.
The motor starts and stops by being switched on or off, without any
special precaution.
Check the level in the suction tank as well as the lifting height.
d Minimum flow
The minimum flow is limited to 10% of the flow at the best
efficiency. A lower flow causes overheating of the pumped liquid at
least.
It is advisable to watch the temperature of the upper bearing.
Maximum temperature of the bearing near the oiler: 90 °C
e Supervision procedure providing full working capacity

During operation, watch over the level in the suction tank as well as
the lifting height.
The temperature of the bearings and packing or mechanical seal

must not exceed 90 °C. Supervision is limited to the following
checks, at regular intervals:
• the pump shaft must turn regularly and without excessive
vibration,
• the nominal power indicated on the information plate of
the motor must not be exceeded.
f Characteristics to check during operation

• minimum temperature of the fluid,
• maximum temperature of the fluid,
• nominal flow of the pump,
• power at the shaft at the nominal point,
• height at the nominal point.
15.4. Stopkeyg the pump
c Close the valves

If there is no closure member, close the valve on the delivery side.
d Motor
Stop the motor, by turning off the electricity supply.
___________________________________________________________________
9.28.728 Rev: 1
CNV Vertical Pumps
e Precaution to take in case of prolonged immobilisation
If the conduits are still full, do the following:
• leave the pump in working condition,
• the pump shaft must be turned by hand every 4 weeks,
• visually check the anti-corrosion protection of the coupling every
4 weeks.
f Packing
After operating in C mode, an exceptional type with water at
170°C, the packing must be changed and an overhaul of all the
wear parts is imperative (bearing, wear ring).

APPENDIX B: Lubrication chart for CN Vertical pumps
The pumps are lubricated at the manufacturer's work-shop for 1500

hours operating with SKF LGMT 2 grease.
This grease with lithium covers a temperature range from -30°C to
+120°C. You are advised to use the same grease.
When using a grease with lithium, it is important to use the quantities
indicated. Excessive grease can cause overheating (even
combustion of the grease) disastrous for the bearings.
If another grease is chosen by the user, drain and carefully clean the
bearing unit(s) before filling it with the chosen grease. Do not mix
Ö grease with lithium with another type of grease.
The choice of grease must take into account the operating
temperature.
The bearing is fitted with an extended oiler for lubricating the pump in
operation.
Surplus and used grease escapes through a free opening situated on
the bearing cage. This opening must not be blocked.
