    We know that the ship's engine room contains several different types of pumps including
    centrifugal pumps. We have also seen that how a planned maintenance schedule is carried out on
    board ships for the purpose of maintaining the equipments in perfect health. In this article we
    will take a look at the procedure to disassemble, inspect and reassemble a centrifugal pump. The
    following steps describe the entire process in a chronological order.
    1.Switch off supply from the control room and isolate breaker with masking tape and place a
    safety board (Men at work).
    2.Switch off supply from local panel and isolate by masking tape, place a safety board on the
    panel (Men at work).
    3.Close suction and discharge valves and lash them with rope.
    4.Drain the suction pipe and ensure water is not coming, then loosen or crack open the joints and
    ensure that pump is safe for opening .
    5.Fix chain block and ensure its cable length and strength is satisfactory.
    6.Mark on coupling and casings and then remove the coupling bolts.

    7.Now motor input supply wire can be marked and disconnected as per drawing.
    8.Motor can be lifted by chain block.
    9.Disconnect all external fittings and pump casing e.g. cooling pipe, pressure gauge, purging
    cock.
    10.Remove top cover and jack it for removal.
    11.Now the pump shaft with impeller can be lifted.
    12.Dismantle the impeller, liner and remove the wear ring.
    13.Remove the gland packing.

    Inspection Procedure

    1.Impeller, pump shaft and casing to be inspected for erosion, pitting and wear down etc.
    2.If required rectify defects with brass putty.
    3.Excess worn out parts can be replaced with new ones.
    4.Check wear down ring clearance, general practise is to replace with new ring.
    5.Check shaft trueness, remove sleeve from the shaft replace sleeve with 'o' ring if required .
    6.Check key, key slots, nuts and its threads are ok.
    7.Assemble all the pump parts.

    Procedure to Start the Pump

    1.Open inlet and out let valves.


    2.Purge air and prime the suction line.
    3.Turn the shaft coupling and ensure shaft is free to rotate.
    4.Connect motor wire R, Y, B.
    5.Start and check current drawn by the motor while staring and running.
