Maintenance Guidelines,: 8.2 Recommended Preventive Maintenance Checks For Centrifugal Pumps and Drives Routines

This document provides recommended preventive maintenance checks and routines for centrifugal pumps and drives on various intervals from daily to yearly. The daily checks include monitoring the bearing oil, bearings, seals, leaks, and heat tracing. Monthly checks add filling oil reservoirs and cleaning, while checking oil levels and governor components. Every 6 months includes rotating shafts by hand for machines not running, and exercising trip and current components. Yearly checks involve inspecting couplings and checking axial float of the pump and driver shaft. Seasonal checks include changing oil if required, draining water from jackets when cooling is deactivated, and inspecting insulation and reestablishing steam or electrical tracing.

Routines

Daily

Check bearing oil for water and discoloration.

Daily

Feel all bearings for temperature.

Daily

Inspect bearings and oil rings through filling ports. Wipe bearing covers clean.

Daily

Check oil leaks at the gaskets.

Daily

Determine if the mechanical seal conditions are normal.

Daily

Check the operability of the heat tracing.

Monthly

Add oil to the bearing reservoirs, if required.

Monthly

Clean oiler bulbs and level windows as required.

Monthly

Make sure that the oil level is the correct distance from the shaft centerline. Adjust if necessary.

Monthly

Check for proper oil level & leaks at hydraulic governor. Check for oil leaks at lines, fittings &
power piston.

Monthly

Replace guards (repair if required).

Monthly

Determine if pump unit requires general cleaning by others.

6 Months

Machines not running - Standby service: Overfill bearing housing to bottom of the shaft and rotate
several turns by hand to coat the shaft and the bearing with oil.

6 Months

Exercise overspeed trip & current.

Yearly

Thoroughly inspect disc coupling for signs of wear & cracks in laminations. Tighten bolts.

Yearly

Using an indicator, check axial float of the pump & the driver shaft in similar manner.

Check pump for noisy bearings and cavitation.

Do a seasonal oil change out, if required by OEM lubrication guide.


Where cooling water is decommissioned, ensure that no water remains in the jackets, coolers and
piping.
Inspect for damaged or missing insulation
Reestablish steam flow or electrical tracing continuity.
