1. Design and Operation The geared variable speed coupling consists of a two-stage spur gear and a variable speed
coupling arranged between the two stages. The torque of driven machine is transmitted to the input shaft by a connecting coupling. The torque between input and primary shaft is transmitted by means of a gear stage. The power flow between primary and secondary wheel is achieved by a fluid flow. The torque is also transmitted to the output shaft via a gear stage. A connecting coupling connects the output shaft and the machine to be driven.
The torque generated by the driving machine is provided to accelerate the fluid in the primary
wheel (pump impeller). This is delayed in the secondary wheel (turbine wheel) to produce an equal torque. The fluid can only circulate in case of a pressure drop between the primary and secondary wheel. This requires that the secondary wheel speed is lower than that of the primary wheel. Thus, a slip is required for power transmission.
The coupling size is selected so that the full power can be transmitted with a low slip, the "full
load slip" (at max. filling). The output speed can be regulated infinitely by changing the oil filling in the working chamber between the primary and secondary wheel. This is accomplished by positioning the scoop tube accordingly, which will determine the oil filling of the working chamber.
The power loss caused by the slip will heat up the working oil. The heat is then dissipated in
the working oil cooler.

2. Oil Circuits (see Oil Circuit and Measuring Point Scheme) The same oil is used as working and lube oil. The working oil pump (13, a centrifugal pump)
and the main lube pump (14, a gear pump) are combined to form a pump insert and are driven by the input shaft of geared variable speed coupling.
The electrically driven aux. lubricating pump (15) is provided to supply the unit with lube oil for
start-up, when running down as well as in case of any troubles.
2.1 Working oil circuit The working oil circuit consists of a closed circuit superposed by an open circuit so
that the filling can be changed. In the closed circuit, the oil which flows into the variable speed coupling (19) via the
circulating control valve (30) for power transmission and heat dissipation is removed by the displaceable scoop tube (39). Under the action of dynamic pressure, the oil flows through the working oil cooler (22) and circulating control valve (30) back into the coupling.
The open circuit is made up of the working oil pump (13), throttle (26) and pressure
relief valve (27). The coupling (19) is filled with oil flowing from the open to the closed circuit. Any excessive oil supplied by the working oil pump flows through the pressure relief valve (27) back into the oil tank. The same applies when the coupling filling is reduced.
The connecting line with orifice plate (91) between lube and working oil circuit is
provided for faster filling of the working oil circuit during start-up. The operating pressure of working oil is set on the pressure relief valve (27), see
section 8.4. If the closed circuit is broken and the oil temperature of variable speed coupling (19)
rises to 180 °C, the fusible plug screws (20) blow. Bores in the plugs are thereby released and the coupling (19) drains. If the fusible plug screws blow due to a temporary thermal overloading of the oil circuit, due to cooler failure or overloading of coupling, the control behaviour of the coupling only changes slightly and the sump temperature rises a little e.g. the control behaviour of the variable speed coupling only changes slightly. However, other features are a slight rise of the sump temperature, longer run-up time of driven machine and almost reaching the max. output power.
The fusible plug screws (item 0310/0010/0060, see Vertical Section) can be replaced
by removing the inspection cover II on the housing cover and turning the input shaft until the three fusible plug screws are accessible.

2.2 Lube and control oil circuit The main lube pump (14) pumps oil out of the sump and feeds through the non-return
valve (17), pressure relief valve (28), lube oil cooler (23) and the reversible double filter (24) to the bearing points and the gear wheels.
Oil for hydraulic scoop tube control is branched off upstream of the adjustable orifice
plate (29). The control pressure is >3 - <4 kg/ cm2, see indication at the pressure gauge (43).
The lube oil pressure is set to >1.5 - <3 kg/cm2, see indication at the pressure gauge
(42). Control oil pressure and lube oil pressure are set on the pressure relief valve (28) and on the adjustable orifice plate (29) as a function of each other.
To ensure the bearings are coated with oil during coupling start-up, run-down and
failure, they are supplied with oil by the aux. lube oil pump (15) before the drive motor is switched on and after it is switched off (see section 8.3 Lube pressure monitoring).
The aux. lube oil pump, which is driven by the electric motor (16), draws lube oil out of
the sump and pumps it through a non-return valve (17) into the lube oil circuit.
2.3 Lube oil circuit to the individual machines The lube oil for the individual machines, such as drive motor, driven machine or
connecting coupling etc., is taken from the lube oil circuit of the geared variable speed coupling and is fed again to the oil tank of the coupling. By means of the orifice plates installed at the flanged connection geared variable speed coupling and/or upstream of the lubricating points of the individual units, the flow rate and the lube oil pressure are pre-set to the admissible values. Data concerning the lube oil supply of individual machines are indicated and described in section 5.7.

3. Control (see Oil Circuit and Measuring Point Scheme) The output speed of the geared variable speed coupling is controlled by an actuator (33)
adjusting the scoop tube (39) and thus the filling in the variable speed coupling (19). The cam disc (32) serves for linearization the angle of adjustment of actuator as a function of
the controlled variable (speed). The standard cam disc is designed so that, at a nominal angle of rotation, the scoop tube can
be set between 100 % and minimum. As a function of the regulating range and the torque characteristic of the driven machine, machining of the cam disc can be necessary.
3.1 Scoop tube positioning (normal operation) (see Oil Circuit and Measuring Point Scheme) The scoop tube which regulates the amount of oil in the turbo coupling is controlled
by turning the cam disc (32) by means of the actuator. The control valve (35) is actuated by a roller which is held by spring pressure against the cam disc.
If the cam disc (32) is moved in direction "full output speed", the pressure oil flows
into the chamber (38) of the double-acting positioning cylinder. The scoop tube (39) which is connected to the piston (37) is moved in direction "full output speed" and the degree of filling in the coupling (19) is increased. Simultaneously, the control valve (35) is returned to its starting position by a spring-load roller which presses against the slope of the scoop tube and shuts off the oil feed as soon as the scoop tube position pre-set by the actuator is reached.
When the cam disc (32) is turned in direction "low output speed", the pressure oil
flows into the chamber (36) and causes the oil to flow in the opposite direction to that described above.

3.1.1 Setting and checking of scoop tube control The rotational angle of the cam disc is 120° between min. % and 100 %
scoop tube position. The positioning distance must be limited by stops. These stops must not
touch the cam discs but instead a flat steel bar could be welded on the cam disc hub, for example.
Check the setting for 100 % scoop tube position after mounting the actuator.
For this purpose, switch on the aux. lube oil pump and set the cam disc to 100 % position. The scoop tube stroke indicator must indicate 100 % scoop tube position. If not, correct the indication setting by
unscrewing the check nut (see opposite sketch).
Turn the set screw 0270/0040 guiding the guide bolt (see Drawing “Section through Control” Sheet 1, Section C-D)
out of the keyway. The guide bush has a - <--> + mark. Turn the guide bolt, dependent on the position of scoop tube stroke indicator in direction - or + until the scoop tube stroke indicator indicates 100 % scoop tube position.
Secure the guide bolt by inserting the set screw in the keyway. The set screw must not touch the keyway base. Secure the set screw using the check nut.
Important: After taking this measure check floating of the guide bolt over
the complete regulating range. If min. scoop tube position has to be limited, for example, to prevent running
slower than a certain output speed, file the scoop tube cam disc at this point and weld on the oil flow cam disc in this angle area in which the scoop tube cam disc was filed. The stroke as it was the original condition of the scoop tube positions has to be maintained.

3.2 Oil flow control (see Oil Circuit and Measuring Point Scheme) The duty of the circulating control valve (30) is to supply the coupling with enough
working oil to compensate for the losses. The cam disc (31) controls the circulating control valve as a function of the scoop tube position (see sketch below). The maximum oil flow is factory-set based on values calculated from the output.
If the oil temperatures are too low or too high at certain operating points, the oil flow
through the circulating control valve can be changed. There are three possibilities: a) Set the maximum oil flow (between 60 and 70 % output speed by turning the cam disc by max. +/- 13°. b) After releasing the check nut remove the set screw and turn the guide bolt in direction + or - (+ more oil flow, - less oil flow which is punched into the guide bolt or guide bush). c) Reshape the oil flow cam disc: This means: Building up the cam = more oil flow, Filing off the cam = less oil flow. Important: After carrying out one of these modifications, check
floating of piston over the whole regulating range.

3.3 Rapid regulation of variable speed coupling (cam control by-passed using solenoid valves) Using this arrangement, the scoop tube is moved from any position towards "low
output speed" and back in the direction "full output speed" more rapidly than is possible with the actuator. Normal emptying and filling times of the variable speed coupling with up to 75 mm2/s oil viscosity are around 5 to 10 seconds. Rapid regulation is used, for example, in the following cases:
1) Quick run-up of drive motor and driven machine by rapid draining of the
variable speed coupling The two 3/2-way solenoid valves (92 and 93) are energized for rapid run-up
of drive motor under no load. Valve (92) lets pressure oil flow into the chamber (36) of the scoop tube positioning cylinder, irrespective of the position of the control valve (35). At the same time, the valve (93) stops the supply of pressure oil and allows the oil in the chamber (38) to flow unhindered into the oil tank. The scoop tube (39) moves in the position 0 % filling.
After run-up of drive motor (with approx. 95 % nominal speed), the solenoid
valves (92 and 93) are deenergized and the scoop tube (39) moves at once to the position fixed by the actuator. The variable speed coupling fills within the specified time and the driven machine runs up to the corresponding speed.
2) Quick run-down of drive motor and driven machine by rapid draining of the
variable speed coupling The two solenoid valves (92 and 93) are energized for rapid drain of the
variable speed coupling. The scoop tube (39) immediately moves in the position 0 % filling, as per description in section 1. The variable speed coupling drains and power transmission from drive motor to driven machine is interrupted.

4. As Delivered Condition In as delivered condition, the geared variable speed coupling cannot be operated
independently. Prior to commissioning, the tests and, if necessary, measures for meeting with the safety instructions of the complete unit have to be effected.
The geared variable speed coupling (machine) cannot be used in as delivered condition. The
conditions are good for taking measures on the complete unit to protect persons, material, property and the environment. These measures are to be determined by the supplier in the planning phase or prior to initial commissioning.
Before leaving the factory each coupling undergoes a test run. Parameters measured: No-load losses, oil temperatures, vibration. The vibration is assessed as per VDI 2056. Parameters set: Oil flow rates / oil pressures, switch points of fitted monitoring instruments. The geared variable speed coupling is mounted on the oil tank. All internal piping for lube and
operating oil is assembled. Instruments are fixed to an instrument stand. The instrument stand is flexibly mounted on the housing by means of silentbloc type rubber-metal connections.
All weld-neck flanges are fitted with seals and blanked off for transport. The connecting coupling hubs will be mounted by Voith if they belong to the Voith supply. The monitoring instruments fitted are marked. Preservation: The preservation and packing for sea transport and/or 12 to 24 months storage is described in
Sheet 740080119, please see Part 4.

Lifting points located on the gearbox housing are provided for the own weight
of the geared variable speed coupling only! Do not lift it together with any other machine/base frame!
Hang the geared variable speed coupling on the marked lifting points only considering the included angle and the minimum height of crane hook, see Assembly Plan.
Lift the geared variable speed coupling only without oil filling!
- Average out the axial tooth clearance of the input shaft of the geared
variable speed coupling by turning the shaft. The shaft distances can be found in the assembly instructions for the connecting couplings. If the drive motor rotor is axially located by the connecting coupling and the primary side herringbone gear stage in the geared variable speed coupling's thrust bearing, ensure that thermal expansion cannot cause the drive motor rotor to move from its magnetic centre.
- It must be prevented that creeping or external currents reach the geared variable speed coupling via input and output shaft. Bearings and driving gear wheels of the filling pump can be damaged due to spark erosion.
- During assembly at site cover the geared variable speed coupling completely
with a tarpaulin against dirt, sparks, grinding dust and other environmental influences harmful to the coupling. Especially protect the monitoring instruments and the electric cables or cable ducts on the coupling.

5.2 Installation preparation for steel foundation 1. Foundation check Prior to starting installation, check the foundations made on-site for all machines
(e.g. booster pump, motor, geared variable speed coupling and main pump) for correct dimensions, using the foundation plan. We recommend to preliminarily arrange all machines with correct shaft distance to each other for checking. Eliminate any differences by machining.
2. Iron shims for alignment The height of steel foundations is to be dimensioned so that a free space of
10 mm is provided to place shims underneath the Voith geared variable speed coupling. This free space is balanced during alignment by means of supplied liners and shims.

3. Mounting connecting couplings Note! Suitable are gear couplings or all-metal couplings with low radial
restoring forces. Flexible connecting couplings are to be agreed in each individual case.
Usually the input and output coupling halves are
already mounted prior to shipment, i.e. the cover and coupling hub are mounted on
the shaft end while the coupling sleeve is packed separately. Should the geared variable speed coupling be supplied without the connecting coupling attached, the assembly at site should be carried out as follows:
Clean shaft and hub from preserving agents using fuel, nitro thinner (no
petroleum) and degrease. Check the bore, shaft, keyway and key for dimensional accuracy.
Remove the key from the keyway and fit it into the hub groove, then reinsert the
key into the keyway, check height of key. The clearance between keyway and key should be 0.2 - 0.3 mm. Apply a thin coat of Molykote or an equivalent lubricant. As a function of the connecting coupling, slip cover and 0-seals over shaft end, mount coupling hub using mounting aid.
Slip the sleeve over the hub - this applies only to connecting couplings without
intermediate piece. For couplings with adequate spacing between shaft ends, the sleeves with intermediate piece can be mounted at a later date.
4. Mounting oil drain pipe As the oil tank bottom is usually inaccessible when mounted, an oil drain pipe
should be flanged on before the coupling is placed in position (see assembly plan).

5.3 Positioning geared variable speed coupling on steel foundation Pre-positioning checks Have the coupling sleeves of the connecting couplings been mounted? Is, in the case of connecting couplings with intermediate piece, the shaft spacing
large enough to allow subsequent mounting of the spacer sleeve? Can the oil drain pipe be fitted after placing the coupling in position?
If the driving machine has already been mounted, check axial clearance. Move rotor
into zero position by averaging the axial clearance. Usually, the driven machine is fixed in axial direction. This should be checked.
When positioning the units on the foundation, check the axial clearance of the
connecting couplings. Tapped holes for adjusting screws are provided on the gear housing to align the
geared variable speed coupling. Mount these adjusting screws prior to assembly. We supply different shim sizes.

5.4 Alignment accuracy The alignment is satisfactory if the radial measurement "A" and the axial difference
measurements "B" and "C" show dial gauge deviations not in excess of +/- 0.03 mm when turning the shafts by 360°. Please note the shaft displacements due to operation. Make alignment when the machine is cold.
The natural sagging of motor and pump shafts (I pump installed first, II motor installed first) results in a slight inclination of the geared variable speed turbo coupling. For I and II in longitudinal direction, level location is therefore not required. The horizontal position at right angles to the main axis is checked with removed inspection hole cover. In case of vibration-isolated foundations prior to the alignment of the first machine, all
other machines must have been placed on the foundation. Should one machine or other not yet be available at the time when the assembly is started, a weight should be used instead of the machine to simulate the location and the size of the machine still missing.
Alignment as described above is required even if parts of the equipment are supplied
mounted on a common base plate, as foundation plates cannot be made so stiff at reasonable expense as to be free from distortion during transit or when being placed on an uneven foundation. Shims must be placed underneath the plates in such a way that the machines have the correct position relative to one another (alignment as described above).

5.5 Alignment The erection sequence depends on the sequence of the delivery of the parts and the
local conditions. Usual sequence: Pump, geared variable speed coupling, motor. The geared variable speed coupling is aligned to the existing driving or driven
machine during assembly. For the alignment, the adjusting screws M 20 supplied by us will be required. With these screws, the coupling is adjusted in the height. Bear in mind the shaft misalignment (height increase) of the units between the hot and cold conditions. By means of a pinch bar, the geared variable speed coupling can be shifted sideways. This job requires a minimum of effort if the greased iron shims can readily slide one on the other.
1. Alignment of connecting couplings without extension sleeve Note! Suitable are gear couplings or all-metal couplings with low radial
restoring forces. Flexible connecting couplings are to be agreed in each individual case.
e.g. between geared variable speed coupling and motor. Check distance "E" at
different points on the periphery, using a "feeler gauge" or flat steel. Check center offset using a short straight edge.

For alignment, have a clamp made as shown on the sketch. Fit clamps on the
shafts. Set dial gauges at 5.00 mm and secure by means of set screws. Connect coupling sleeves by means of two connecting bolts and two spacers of about 20 mm. Turn coupling shafts by 180° using a flat iron inserted between the two sleeves. Enter the measurement in a coordinate system, e.g.:
As the shafts may shift in axial direction, find the difference between the two axial
measurements. Half of this difference is the dimension for the angular deflection. Correct the coupling gap and height by means of the adjusting screws. Repeat the same measurement in the horizontal plane, moving alignment clamp into the horizontal position, i.e. turn it by 90° relative to the original position.

Reset dial gauges at 5.00 mm, then turn the shafts by 180° and enter measured
values in the coordinate system. Find mean values (as described above) and shift machine sideways accordingly:
Example: This alignment is satisfactory, if at the time of turning the coupling by 360° the
radial measurement "A" and the axial difference measurement "B" and "C" show dial gauge deviations not exceeding +/- 0.03 mm.
2. Alignment of couplings with intermediate piece or extended coupling sleeve e.g. between geared variable speed coupling and pump. Note! Suitable are gear couplings or all-metal couplings with low radial
restoring forces. Flexible connecting couplings are to be agreed in each individual case.

Make a mounting device according to sketch. Use flat steel (at least 20x10 mm).
Connect alignment aid with shaft end of the machine to be aligned by bolting. Fit dial gauges set at 5.00 mm and secure them in position by means of an adjusting screw. Set 1/100 scale at "0". Turn shaft II by 360° (runout test). With axial runout of a shaft, the difference of the readings on the dial gauges "B" and "C" is the dimension for the angular deflection. Satisfactory true-running is ensured if the reading on the dial gauge is 0.01 mm or less.
Set dial gauge again at 5.00 mm. Turn shaft II by 180° by means of mounting aid. Enter readings into coordinate system. As the shafts may be displaceable in axial direction, the difference must also be
determined by measurements as described above. Correct the coupling gap and shaft location by means of the adjusting screw. Carry out similar measurements in the horizontal plane. For this purpose, move alignment clamp into horizontal position, i.e. turn it by 90° from the original position. Set dial gauges again at 5.00 mm. Turn shaft II by 180°. Enter measured values into coordinate system. Find average value as described above and shift machine to be aligned sideways.

3. Shimming of gear housing, alignment report After alignment, all fixing bolts of the gear housing are shimmed. The load is to be
distributed uniformly on all shims preventing twisting of the housing when tightening the foundation bolts.
After slackening the adjusting screws, tighten the foundation bolts and check the
alignment. Alignment is satisfactory if both the radial measurement "A " and the axial
difference measurements "B" and "C" do not yield deviations in excess of +/- 3/100 mm. We recommend to enter the final measurement results in the coordinate system of the installation checking sheet.
4. Later alignment of the complete unit If after sustained operation the entire machine set must be aligned new, the Voith
geared variable speed coupling is displaced on the foundation. (With foundation bolts arranged in the centre, the bolt holes have sufficient clearance). The height of the axis is adjusted by regrinding or exchange of the shims between foundation and Voith geared variable speed coupling.

5.6 Site pipework, cooler arrangement and cooler venting Assemble and install the oil pipes in a professional manner preferably below the oil
level of geared variable speed coupling! Do not confuse any connections! (see assembly plan). Ensure that the fittings, lengths and quality of lines meet the requirements.
The oil pipes should be as short as possible (< 8 m). If the pipes are longer
assembled above the oil level of geared variable speed coupling, install nonreturn valves in the oil pipe leading from the geared variable speed coupling to the oil cooler.
Oil pipes upstream and downstream of heat exchangers should be dimensioned to allow a minimum oil velocity of 3.5 m/s for lube oil and 4.0 m/s for working oil.
The diameter of oil pipes should be constant over the total length. In the event of a greater cooler connection width it is necessary to expand the piping directly at the cooler. A too large oil quantity in the pipes may cause speed instabilities and greater variations in the oil level due to air absorption.
Adapt the site pipework only after alignment of geared variable speed coupling and observe that it is installed free of stress.
Oil pipes of steel (not stainless steel) assembled at site are to be disconnected after
completion and immersed in a pickling solution. Voith recommends BETONA or a similar pickling bath. BETONA product of Messrs. Karowa, Memmingerstr. 39A, Neu Ulm, Germany. Pickling BETONA activated crystal pickling solution removes layers of scale, rolling skin and
rust from steel parts and welded seams. Prior to preparing and using this or another pickling solution observe the
relevant specification, safety information (data sheets), information for use. The pickling period of BETONA crystal pickling solution depends on the temperature
and duration of the bath. Mixing proportion: 1 part BETONA to 10 parts water result in this pickling solution. Mix
1 to 3 litres pickling degreasing agent S 13 on 100 litres pickling solution to remove dirt, slight fouling by oil, graphite or oil carbon. Workpieces heavily fouled by oil or grease are to be degreased in advance. The ideal temperatures of the pickling solution for pickling is approx. 40 °C. Put and leave the parts in the pickling solution for the periods mentioned below.
Pickling period: Rust film approx. 5 - 10 min. (immersed) Rust approx. 15 - 30 min. Rolling scale approx. 50 min. Descaling of annealed steel pieces approx. 120 min. The metal must be bright and free of scale and rust after pickling these parts.

Drying Then remove the parts, do not wash them, let them dry drip-proof. Drying time to
achieve an ideal protective film at 20 °C is between 24 and 48 hours. If the drying time cannot be adhered to, subsequent flushing using clean water is required. Then dry the parts, spray them on the inside with operating oil and on the outside with paint.
Notes Basins of stainless steel, material no. 4571 or of steel, which are lined inside with
rubber or GVP, have proven well as bath basin. This material must be temperature-resistant.
Use rubber gloves, rubber boots, rubber aprons and safety glasses. The remaining
clothing shall be of natural fibres, like cotton, shear wool. Ventilate working rooms well. In case that the pickling solutions comes into contact with skin, immediately wash off using a lot of water.
Waste water and used pickling bath can be separated in two matters by neutralization
(by adding soda lye). The two matters are "water" and "flocky sludge". Sludge can be disposed according to waste number 52102.
However, this needs to be clarified in advance - observe the District Sewage Disposal Specification.
Afterwards, mount the pipework. Cooler arrangement: The installation dimensions of heat exchangers with change-over valves are shown
on the assembly plans. The change-over procedure is described in section 9.2. Pipes and oil coolers should, on principle, not drain into the oil tank of geared variable
speed coupling when the unit is switched off. We recommend positioning the coolers below the oil level of geared variable speed coupling.
If coolers are arranged above the oil level of oil tank, the pipes at the cooler must run
upwards in siphon arrangement and connecting at the highest point by a compensating pipe (DN ø 8 mm) with an orifice ø 3 mm. This way, the coolers remain filled. See Cooler Arrangement
Continuous ventilation of working oil cooler: Provide sufficient continuous ventilation of working oil cooler. Three vents are
provided on the shell side for continuous ventilation of working oil cooler. Mount three screw-in orifices ∅ 10 mm on these vents and connect them with a collecting pipe (DN 20). Connect this collecting pipe up to the geared variable speed coupling. Regarding the connecting point please refer to the assembly plan of geared variable speed coupling.

5.7 Lube oil supply of individual machines The lube oil for - the boiler feed pump / flow rate ..... l/min. - the booster pump / flow rate ..... l/min. - the motor / flow rate ..... l/min. - the connecting couplings / flow rate ..... l/min. is taken from the lube oil circuit of the geared variable speed coupling and is fed back
again to the oil tank of the coupling. The flow rate to the individual machine taken for lubrication of total 300 l/min. at 1,5 - 2,0 kg/ cm2 must not be exceeded. Any technical data concerning the flanges and pipes of the specified machine can be taken from the assembly plan. Pilot bored orifice plates are provided at the lube oil outlets (flanged connection) of the geared variable speed coupling to the specified machines. Prior to test run, these orifice plates must be adapted as a function of the oil flow required and of the lube oil pressures, with the aux. lube oil pump running. For determination of the orifice plate bore as a function of the final lube oil pressure and the necessary flow rate, proceed according to Sheet 3.632-9088 in Part 4. If additional orifice plates are/are to be installed upstream of the bearing points of the individual machines, this will have to be considered when adapting the pilot bored orifice plates.

5.8 Coupling guards Guards should be mounted, especially on rotating parts,
- as protection against contact on connecting couplings, and as protection against injuries by burning on hot - pipework, - heat exchanger, - geared variable speed coupling, and on any other sources of risk which can be recognized after assembly of the overall unit, in accordance with the safety regulations in force. When mounting a acoustic cover over the geared variable speed coupling, Mounting an acoustic cover must be considered.
In case of outdoor installation, we recommend to mount a guard or a housing over this unit and its attaching parts.
5.9 Preservation after installation The perfect condition of geared variable speed coupling and their assemblies is to be
preserved during installation and assembly work, long periods of storage and after installation or in cases of standstill for operational reasons. The measures necessary during these phases and the necessary inspections are described in the Voith-Instruction Manual.

6. Operating Oil The following work must only be effected by qualified personnel (see safety information). If the operating fluid used is not mentioned in our oil selection list, check its compatibility with
our preservation oil (Shell Ensis motor oil W 20) or flush the inside of geared variable speed coupling thoroughly.
Ensure a safe disposal, not being detrimental to the environment, of operating and aux.
medium as well as of the replacement parts! The operating oil viscosity must be as low as possible to guarantee satisfactory hydraulic
efficiency and air release properties during filling, emptying and regulating. Since the bearings, in particular the usually highly loaded gear wheels, are also lubricated by the operating oil, it must possess excellent lubricating characteristics. The only oils suitable for geared variable speed couplings are thus high performance, low viscosity oils with additive-produced lubricating properties and excellent air release characteristics.
The oil must be chemically neutral to metals and seals and be nontoxic. Resistance to aging at max. admissible operating temperature and under high air entrainment
must allow a sufficient operating life. The oils tested according to the above criteria can be seen in the attached Oil Selection List.
The starting viscosity under the conditions at site must not exceed 250 mm2/s (cSt). The operating oils must not be mixed when being used. Admissible oil mixtures must be clarified with the oil supplier.
For auxiliary units, such as connecting couplings and actuator, the amount of lubricant
specified by the manufacturer should be checked prior to commissioning and later after the maintenance intervals and, if necessary, increased.

6.1 Filling with operating oil The oil quantity required, without filling of the pipework and heat exchangers,
is 2500 litres. The quantity required for heat exchangers is indicated in the respective assembly plans. The oil quantity for the pipework must be determined at site, after piping.
We recommend filling with operating oil immediately after piping the unit. Filter the oil when filling in, grade of filtration 25 mym or finer. Fill the geared variable speed coupling with oil via the oil filling hole on the inspection
hole cover. When coolers and piping are filled or ventilated, the oil level should reach an average value between the MIN. and MAX. mark of the oil level indication (see assembly plan).

7. Commissioning The following work must only be effected by qualified personnel (see safety information). When operating the geared variable speed coupling, meet the nominal values for temperatures
and oil pressures stated in par. 8. The geared variable speed coupling only allows a power transmission and speed control with
the operating data specified (see nameplate or data sheet of this instruction manual). The viscosity of operating oil for start-up must not exceed 250 mm2/s.
this means a temperature of approx. +5 °C.
7.1 Trial run preparations - Check alignment of all equipment considering the thermal growth in height
and width and shaft misalignments due to operation and correct, if necessary. Record alignment values!
- Check fixing of foundation. - Check direction of rotation of drive motor, with the geared variable speed
coupling uncoupled. - In case of coupled curved-tooth connecting coupling with constant filling,
check for easy displacement of the coupling sleeve and sufficient lubrication, check the guard.

- Check the adjustment of the actuator at the scoop tube positioning device,
via the adjusting angle. Both end positions must be mechanically limited at the actuator.
- Read the scoop tube position on the stroke indicator scale, with the aux. lube
oil pump running. Check the following using the original actuator. a) At 100 % scoop tube position, check and adjust the max. positioning or
feedback signal on the actuator. b) After running through the rated adjusting angle or the actuator stroke,
the minimum positioning or feedback signal corresponds to a scoop tube position of approx. 0 %.
- Set the scoop tube to MIN. position. Switch off the aux. lube oil pump.
7.2 Trial run - At water-oil coolers, open the water side valves, vent the cooler at the water
side and check the flow. The operating data and the instruction manual of the oil coolers must be observed.
- Check the readiness for operation of the complete unit. - Start the aux. lube oil pump and switch on the main motor or monitor the
automatic start-up when lube pressure is available. - After the motor has run up to speed, observe the automatic shutdown of the
aux. lube oil pump with lube pressure existing or switch off aux. lube oil pump manually.
- Run the unit at minimum speed and observe smooth running, temperatures,
lube pressure and filter condition. If the minimum speed of driven machine has to be increased or reduced,
proceed according to section 3.1.1. - Slowly run the unit up to speed. Adjust the working and lube oil temperature

The heat to be dissipated of the working oil depends on the respective
operating point of the power characteristic curve of the driven machine. The max. heat is at 60 - 70 % speed, at parabolic torque characteristic curve, and at min. output speed at constant torque characteristic curve.
- Observe the temperatures until they are steady. If required, readjust the
working oil flow rate, see section 3.2. The temperature upstream of the working oil cooler should not exceed 110 °C.
- If the high-speed input or output shaft (larger than 2980 rpm) was completely
balanced without original hub, due to a non-delivery of the connecting coupling hub, a subsequent rebalancing may be necessary and be made at site. One reason for this are key or keyway tolerances.
- Evaluate and record smooth running of geared variable speed coupling by
vibration measurements. Besides the measuring values, record measuring points, speeds and scoop tube position.
- If the characteristic of the unit has to be optimized according to the operating
conditions by adapting the oil circulation and scoop tube cam disc, the complete unit has to be operated under operating conditions over the whole regulating range.
- Turn the unit down to MIN. speed. After switching off the main motor, check
automatic switch-on of aux. lube oil pump at decreasing lube pressure. Switch off the aux. lube oil pump after standstill of the main motor and of the driven machine.
- During or after the trial run, clean the lube oil filter and fill with operating oil
(see section 9.1), check and correct the oil level according to section 6.1. - Check fixing of the stops on the actuator again. The stroke must be limited
on the actuator, not at the scoop tube control.

preserved during installation and assembly work, long periods of storage and after installation or in cases of standstill for operational reasons. The measures necessary during these phases and the necessary inspections are described in the Voith-Instruction Manual.
At standstill periods of the geared variable speed coupling of one or several days
(also several weeks), the aux. lube oil pump must be switched on for at least 5 minutes daily.
Protect the geared variable speed coupling against water ingress and humidity.
Preserve bright parts accordingly. For internal protection against corrosion (oil wetting) start the geared variable speed
coupling every 1 to 2 months for a short time. Do not run the geared variable speed coupling warm, because there is a risk of dewpoint corrosion.
If the actuator is operated during stand-by operation, the grease nipples on the guide
bush are to be lubricated every 2 months in each case with 5 g lithium-soaped antifriction bearing grease. At standstill periods of heat exchangers, the cooler instruction manual must be observed, especially the par. "How to avoid corrosion damages".

8. Operation of the Geared Variable Speed Coupling The following work must only be carried out by qualified personnel (see safety information).
8.1 Start-up, operation and shutdown of geared variable speed coupling as well as measures to be taken when the unit is at standstill (also see Logic Diagram) A continuous monitoring of geared variable speed coupling maintaining admissible
temperatures, lube pressure and oil level means a trouble-free operation and low maintenance.
Start-up of geared variable speed coupling The viscosity of operating oil for start-up must not exceed 250 mm2/s (cSt). For the
oils according to our Oil Selection List, this means an oil temperature of at least +5 °C.
The geared variable speed coupling can on principle be started and stopped with the
scoop tube at any position. However, with the scoop tube at minimum position, the main motor can run up under virtually no load.
- Prior to starting the main motor, switch on the aux. lube oil pump. The
solenoid valves 92 and 93 of the rapid start-up device are not electrically excited (OFF).
- At existing lube oil pressure (> 1.2 kg/ cm2), start the main motor. - After reaching the lube oil pressure (> 3.0 kg/ cm2), switch off the aux. lube
oil pump with a time interval of up to 5 minutes. - Run the scoop tube to max. 100 % scoop tube position and in operating
condition resp. This is made via an actuator which is controlled by a guide signal 4 - 20 mA resp.

Operation of geared variable speed coupling To keep good air release properties, the sump temperature (oil temperature upstream
of the lube oil cooler) must not fall below 45 °C during continuous operation. Continuously check the admissible temperatures, working and lube oil pressure and
the oil level. Data see section "8.2 Operating data". - By positioning the scoop tube via the actuator (up to max. 100 % scoop tube
position) accordingly, the input power and input speed of the driven machine are determined and adjusted resp. Change the guide signal between 4-20 mA resp. accordingly.
- In case of a failure during operation, the monitoring instruments attached
release an electric signal thus leading to an alarm or switching-on of the aux. lube oil pump or to a shutdown of the unit, as mentioned under 8.2.
Attention: A system transfer during operation (e.g. at an interconnected
system/power station system) must be carried out only via a lock-up device. If there is no phase coincidence, there might be an inadmissible high torque jerks from the main motor acting on the gear.
Shutdown of geared variable speed coupling The geared variable speed coupling can on principle be started at any scoop tube
position. However, with the scoop tube at min. position, the main motor can run up under virtually no load.
- Switch on the aux. lube oil pump.
- Switch off the main motor. - Regulate downwards the geared variable speed coupling to min. speed. Bring the guide signal to 4 mA.
- After main motor and driven machine stopped, switch off the aux. lube oil pump.

Measures to be taken when the unit is at standstill Reverse rotation of the output shaft of geared variable speed coupling is only allowed
under the following conditions and limited to 1 - 3 minutes: 1) Monitoring of direction of rotation of the output shaft. 2) Switching-on of aux. lube oil pump without time delay.
3) Move the scoop tube to 100 % position. 4) Close the shutoff valve of the feed water pump. If reverse rotation occurred without one of the three first precautions described, check
the plain bearings and fusible plug screws prior to a new start-up.

8.3 Lube oil pressure/control oil pressure and monitoring of lube oil pressure (see oil circuit and measuring point scheme) The lube oil pressure is set to approx. 2.5 kg/cm2 by means of the adjustable orifice
(29) but is also dependent on the viscosity of the oil used. A change in the lube oil pressure will also change the control oil pressure. Control oil pressure can be reset on the pressure relief valve (28) to approx. 3.5 kg/cm2.
Proposed switching sequence and pressure transmitters to be set as follows: 1. Signal to switch on the main motor when lube oil pressure reaches
>1.2 kg/cm2. It must be guaranteed by means of a time delay that all bearings, especially at lube oil supply of external machines, are prelubricated.
2. Switching-off, with time delay (1-5 minutes), of aux. lube oil pump at
>3.0 kg/cm2 on completion of main motor run up. The set pressure shall be greater than that of the aux. lube oil pump alone and lower than that produced by the aux. lube oil pump and lube pump together.
3. Switch on the aux. lube oil pump if the pressure drops to <1.2 kg/cm2.
4. Alarm signal when the pressure drops to <1.0 kg/cm2.
5. Trip signal when the pressure drops to <0.8 kg/cm2.

8.4 Monitoring of working oil The temperature of the working oil downstream of the cooler should be above 35 °C.
Upstream of the cooler, the temperature could rise to <110 °C. During unusual operation (e.g. flushing), max. temperatures of up to about 130 °C could occur.
If temperatures are too high, the volume of working oil could be increased (see section 3.2).
Another control is possible by the three fusible plug screws melting at an oil temperature of 180 °C and thus each releasing a bore through which the oil sprays into the sump. See section 2.1.
The three fusible plug screws (item 0310/0010/0060, see Vertical Section) can be
replaced by removing the inspection cover II on the housing cover and turning the input shaft until the fusible plug screws are accessible.
The pressure relief valve (27) holds the pressure of the working oil (pressure
upstream of the control valve) at 1.0 to 1.8 kg/cm2.
8.5 Bearing temperatures The bearing temperatures should normally not exceed 90 °C. We recommend setting
the alarm signal "Bearing temperature too high" at about 15 °C above the temperature of the hottest bearing or at 90 °C and trip signal "Bearing temperature high high" at 95 °C.
The temperatures of the individual bearings vary because of varying shaft speeds or external thermal loading caused by the working oil (at bearing 6 and 7).
8.6 Lube oil filter The lube oil filter is executed as double filter. At correct position of the changeover cock, however, only one sieve part is used for
cleaning the oil. The filter is fitted with a differential pressure switch, whereby contact of the alarm is required at 0.6 kg/cm2 differential pressure.
Slowly change over the change-over lever to the second filtering jug. When switching from one filter to another during operation, ensure the lube oil
pressure does not drop excessively, actuating an alarm / trip by the pressure transmitters. This is achieved by flooding the clean filter before changeover. See section 9.1 "Putting the cleaned filter half back into operation".

8.7 Oil level indication For oil level control, an oil sight glass and an oil level switch is fitted to the geared
variable speed coupling. With the unit shut down and the piping and coolers filled with oil, the oil level should
be below the mark "Max. Oil Level". The oil level switch is set so that it releases an alarm signal 10 mm below “Min.” and
10 mm above “Max.” mark.
8.8 Lubricating points of scoop tube control (see drawing “Section through Control”) Two lube nipples are provided on the guide bush for a grease gun for lubricating the
guide bolt. They are to be greased with a lithium-soaped anti-friction bearing grease as in section "Maintenance".

9.2 Maintenance measures which can be taken with the unit running When differential pressure of lubricating oil filter rises, switch it over and clean. Check air release property of the operating oil, if there are speed fluctuations on the
driven machine. Check also the permanent venting of the working oil cooler. In case of increased oil level, check the oil for water content.
take measures according to the oil manufacturer's/oil supplier's instructions..
Please note the following for double heat exchangers with changeover set: 1. On principle, only one heat exchanger is to be used for operation in order to
meet the flow rates. 2. Preserve the standby heat exchanger against corrosion during standstill
periods according to Instructions . 3. Prior to changeover to the standby heat exchanger, its cooling water flow
must be guaranteed. 4. Open the valve in the pressure compensation pipe. 5. Changeover to the standby heat exchanger During changeover from the heat exchanger in operation to the stand-by
heat exchanger, move the changeover lever only so far that the stand-by heat exchanger is slowly flooded. Only a slight oil pressure drop is allowed in the system, otherwise this can result in a shutdown of the units via the pressure transmitters. Slowly continue the changeover action after the heat exchanger is filled.
6. After switch over, close the valve in the pressure compensation pipe. Daily: Check temperatures, lube oil and control oil pressure, differential pressure on the lube
oil filter and the control oil pressure, if monitoring is not integrated in the control system.

10. General Overhaul of the Geared Variable Speed Coupling
10.1 General remarks In the event of a change in operating behaviour after max. 7 years operating time, the
geared variable speed coupling should be overhauled. To avoid unnecessary delays during servicing, we recommend to order spare parts
for the general overhaul well in advance. We shall be pleased to elaborate an offer for any inquiry reaching us.
In order to ensure speedy handling of your inquiries, or your orders for service
engineers or spare parts, please always indicate the serial number of the Voith geared variable speed coupling and the name of the person in charge.
It is not necessary to lift the complete assembly off its foundation for the purpose of
general overhauls. Installation work on the geared variable speed coupling should only be carried out by
our specialized service engineers or trained staff (see safety information).
10.2 Preconditions On principle, dismantling must not be commenced until the system and the drive
motor have been "de-activated", and permission has been obtained from the competent department.
Uncouple the input and output side connecting couplings (make power transmission
ineffective). An operational travelling crane for 2500 kg must be available, ready for operation, to
lift individual components out of the gear housing, such as housing cover, input shaft with gear etc.
10.3 Dismantling and reassembling Special care should be taken to ensure that no dirt penetrates into the coupling during
the overhaul. Cover the open oil tank with a tarpaulin. Perhaps put the housing cover loosely on the housing and seal the shaft passages.
Warning: Personal injury and damage to property may occur, if individual
gears or pinion shafts of the gear stage are replaced.
The gears of each gear stage are paired with each other and balanced together with the shafts, to achieve an optimum contact pattern, backlash and smooth running.

It is only allowed to interchange complete gear stages with the
relevant part of the turbo coupling of the same gear type. Individual gears or shafts should only be interchanged in special
cases and after comparing the production progress reports and after receipt of Voith Crailsheim's written approval. For replacement of a gear stage, the relevant shafts are to be sent to Voith for installation and joint balancing or new shafts are to be provided.
Overhaul procedure: (Detailed disassembly and assembly steps are described in par. 11.) 1. Drain the operating fluid. Disconnect electric cabling. Open lubricating oil filter, inspect and clean. Dismantle connecting couplings and check their condition. Check input and output shafts for true running. Unscrew primary and secondary-side thrust bearing covers
(0030/0030), remove bearings and check. Loosen 3 hex. screws (0270/0360) in flange (0270/0350) of the control. 2. Release housing cover from housing and lift off. Check condition of toothing (check contact pattern). Remove fusible plug screws (0310/0010/0060), turn rotor assembly in
order to allow any oil residues remaining in the coupling to drain (clear borehole, if necessary).
Check fusible plug screws and replace, if necessary. 3. To be able to remove the scoop tube, loosen the bracket mounted on
the scoop tube housing and lift the control housing (0080/0140) with control sleeve (0080/0200) out of its guide.
Remove temperature probes. Lift off bearing cap and unscrew bolts from scoop tube housing
(0110/0010/0070/0130). Lift out complete runner assembly plus input and output shafts from the
gear housing. Unscrew the 4 fixing bolts (0120/0110) and remove the complete pump
insert (0130/0010). (The pump insert is also accessible through the inspection cover I (with the oil filler plug) without lifting off the housing cover, see assembly plan).
4. Dismantle rotating parts and pump insert, clean all components
(remove old sealing compound and any deposits of oil sludge) and check the following:
Whether runners are damaged or not (resonance test of blades). Check condition of bearings and measure bearing clearance. Check scoop tube mechanism for wear. Check all components of pump insert.

The scoop tube guide bush (0080/0010) is accessible after dismantling
the runner. 5. Re-polish plain bearings before re-assembly and also the bearing
sliding faces of shaft, if necessary. At re-assembly, secure bolts as originally provided. Locking elements
(spring washers) should be replaced by new parts. Tighten the screws using a torque wrench with the specified tightening torque, as indicated on the drawing.
6. Re-assemble runner and pump insert. Special care should be taken during re-assembly that all components
showing a common mark, such as primary wheel and shell, as well as the parts of the thrust bearings are fitted in the correct position to each other.
7. Clean housing and housing cover carefully from old sealing compound
and any deposits of oil sludge. Flush and clean oil tank carefully. Apply a new sealing compound to all sealing surfaces, oil-resistant up
to 130 °C (e.g. Hylomar). 8. Install input and output shaft, runner and pump insert again. On installation of a new pump insert, pay attention to the backlash
(0.15 + 0.1 mm) and contact pattern of spur gears. 9. Fit temperature probes. Mount and tighten housing cover. 10. Grease the lubricating nipples (0270/0020/0020) of the control with 5 g
of lithium-soaped antifriction bearing grease each and grease bright components. Retighten the flange (0270/0350) of the control.
11. Alignment check of geared variable speed coupling to main motor and
driven machine (record values obtained). 12. Install connecting couplings. Connect motors and instruments. 13. Clean oil coolers, if necessary, following manufacturer's instructions.
This must be followed by a leakage test of the coolers (please note max. test pressure).
14. Fill oil tank and coolers with operating oil. 15. Carry out an operational test with the aux. lube oil pump, actuator and
instrumentation. Check oil coolers for leaks and venting. Then carry out a trial run, observing function and smooth running. Watch for leaks, correct oil level, if necessary.

11. Dismantling the Geared Variable Speed Coupling (pay attention to the corresponding sectional drawing)
11.1 General remarks Installation work on the geared variable speed coupling should only be carried out
by our service engineers or qualified staff (please see safety information). After rotating parts have been taken out of the housing, they can be dismantled
and reassembled elsewhere. For urgent installation work or repairs, it is not absolutely necessary to drain the oil
tank. No special tools are needed for dismantling and reassembling the Voith geared
variable speed coupling. We recommend to mark all rotating parts (if they have not been provided with
balancing or reference marks) prior to dismantling, to be able to reassemble them in the proper position at assembly.
Components and larger subassemblies must be carefully fixed to lifting devices
and be secured in order to avoid any danger here. Only use appropriate and lifting devices in technically sound condition as well as load suspension devices with sufficient carrying capacity! Do neither stay nor work under suspended loads!
11.1.1 Removing the housing cover Remove the supply lines on the actuator, if necessary. Remove any
obstructive fittings above the shaft centre line, such as electric cables, pipes etc. The same applies to the connecting coupling guards.
Remove the hex. screws (0270/0360) in the sealing flange (0270/0350). Press and lift off the sealing flange. Remove the hood (0110/0180) to the scoop tube control and all vertical
securing bolts in the housing cover. Remove the socket head screws between thrust bearing covers (0030/0030) and bearing covers (0015/0010) and (0016/0010).
Remove screws above the joint face of the thrust bearing covers
(0030/0030) and the bearing covers (0015/0010) and (0016/0010). Bring the travelling crane over the centre of the housing cover, hoist up
and set down on a rubber mat.

Part 2 Parts List
Ordering spares: Please quote coupling serial number (see name plate), full description of the parts as per the spares list. Spares supplied conform to the latest state of the art. The housing and gears are manufactured to suit the site conditions. Gearwheels should normally only be replaced in pairs. Send the appropriate shafts to Voith or buy new ones so that we can mount and balance the gearwheels. Due to high torques and speeds, the primary wheel and secondary wheel are, in each case, fitted and thus firmly associated to the shaft by means of fitted bolts. Furthermore, runners with coupling shell and shafts are balanced to a special balancing procedure. Therefore, the runner components can only be replaced here at our factory or, in exceptional cases, at site under supervision of a Voith Specialist using special auxiliary means. Do not loosen the primary wheel from the shaft, if possible. When replacing primary / secondary wheels or shafts, fit new fitted bolts or larger diameter. We therefore recommend to store these parts only in accordance with our offer.

NOTES
SWITCHING DIFFERENTIAL DATA
On-off differential values for DPCO switching,DPCO (2 × SPDT)
!!!!! For style GM/GA enclosures apply a multiplication factorof 1.3 to values in Table–A.
!!!!! For style GK enclosure apply a multiplication factor of1.2 to values in Table–B.
!!!!! In case of adjustable on-off differential models themultiplication factor is to be applied only to the lowerlimit of the differential values. Upper limit values remainunchanged.
!!!!! For range codes M2B & P8B in models 301, 304 DPCOswitching using switch codes 3, D & 4 only is possible.
Special Engineering : Higher DP range of 10 to 60 bar,model 301 DP switch is offered with 316L SS bellowssensor. But the out of balance pressure will be limited to80 bar. For details refer offer/factory.
!!!!! Switching differentials for Instruments with chemicalseal : Apply a Multiplication factor of 1.3 for SPCO and1.5 for DPCO to values given in table for GM housingsand apply a multiplication factor of 1.2 for SPCO and1.5 for DPCO to values of table for GK housings.
Chemical seals are not available in ranges C6D,E1D & E8D.
TABLE : A — GM / GA Enclosures
1. Gr.IIA & IIB of IS:2148 is equivalent to NEC CL.1, Gr.C & D. Gr.IIC ofIS:2148 is equivalent to NEC CL.1, DIV.1, Gr.A & B.
2. Style GM/GA is weatherproof only if all entries and joint faces are properlysealed. Style GK is weatherproof only if cover ‘O’ ring is retained inposition and proper cable gland (flameproof) is used. It is recommendedto procure cable glands along with GK instruments to avoid neglect of itduring installation.
3. Intrinsic Safety (Exi) — Pressure Switches are classified as simple electricalapparatus as per BS 5345–6.3.3. Hence Pressure Switches with GM/GAenclosures may be used in intrinsically safe systems without certification ifenergy levels are limited to 1.2V, 0.1A or 25 mW.
4. Accuracy & Repeatability are one and the same for all blind differentialpressure switches. A shift of ±2% may be observed in setpoint whenpressure falls from full static pressure. Settings will also shift with varyingtemperature.
5. The instrument is calibrated in the mounting position depicted in the drawing.Hence mounting in any other direction will cause a minor range shift, especially inlow and compound ranges. Ranges above 1 bar will not experience this shift.
6. A Differential Pressure switch is a switching device and not a measuringinstrument — eventhough it has a scale with ±5% FSR accuracy to assistsetting. For this reason, Test Certificates will not contain individual ON-OFFswitching values at different scale readings. Maximum differential obtainedalone will be declared, besides other specifications.
7. Select working range of the instrument such that the set value lies in the mid35% of the range i.e., between 35% and 70% of range span.
8. For switching differential values please refer respective Range Table. Switchingdifferentials furnished are nominal values under test conditions at mid-scaleand will vary with range settings and operating conditions.
9. On and off settings should not exceed the upper or lower range span.
10. DPCO action is achieved by two SPCO switches synchronised to practicallimits i.e., ±2% of FSR. Deadband for DPCO contacts are higher than thatof SPCO as force required to actuate the contacts are more. Please referrespective range table.
11. Contact life of microswitches are 5 × 105 switching cycles for nominal load.To quench DC sparks, use diode in parallel with inductance, ensuring polarity.A ‘R–C’ network is also recommended with ‘R’ value in Ohms equal to coilresistance and ‘C’ value in micro Farads equal to holding current in Amps.
12. Model 301 can be supplied with Nitrile diaphragm for applications wherepressure reversal is envisaged.
13. All differential pressure switches are calibrated by applying pressure to HIport, venting LO port to atmosphere. Inspection will also be limited to sucha practice.
14. Ambient temperature range: All models are suitable for operating within arange of ambient temperature from (–) 25°C to (+) 60°C provided the processdoes not freeze within this range. Below 0°C, precautions should be takenin humid atmospheres to prevent frost formation inside the instrument fromjamming the mechanism. Occasional excursions beyond this range arepossible but accuracy might be impaired. The microswitch is the limitingfactor which should never exceed the limits (–) 50°C to (+) 80°C.
15. Fluid Temperature: A Differential Pressure switch connected to the mainpipe is not subjected to the flow and therefore is not fully exposed to thefluid temperature. Use of adequate length of impulse piping will greatlyreduce excessive heating of the sensing element. For example connectionof 7.5 cm of 12 mm dia impulse piping will reduce water temperature of100°C to 65°C at an ambient temperature of 50°C. Ask factory for temperaturenomogram for different temperatures.
16. Ensure that impulse pipework applies no stress on sensing element housingand use spanners to hold pressure port / housing when connections are made.
17. Custom built instruments are available for special service requirements underSpecial Engineering Category.
18. For less rigorous applications models 306 / 386 with Nitrile diaphragm &Aluminium wetted parts are available at lesser cost.
19. Complementary instrumentation for pressure is available in 200 series.
20. Accuracy figures are exclusive of test equipment tolerance on theclaimed values.
21. All performance data guaranteed ±5%.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE
Instructions for operation and maintenance in this manual apply to Models PCST – 01 – W and PCST – 01 - F, PROGRAMABLE CONTROLLER SPEED TRANSMITTERS, housed in weatherproof and flameproof Enclosures respectively.
1.2 DESCRIPTION
PROGRAMABLE CONTROLLER SPEED TRANSMITTER measures the speed in RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) of any rotating object, indicates the same on an Alpha numeric Backlit LCD Module and transmits a proportional 4 – 20 mA DC signal to control room, which can be used for recording and or control functions. Model PCST – 01 – W is housed in a Polycarbonate, weatherproof Enclosure, with transparent lid. The Degree of Protection is IP 65 as per IEC 529. The Indian equivalent standard is IS : 13947 (Part – I) – 1993. They are approved by ERTL (WEST), STQC Directorate. These enclosures are suitable for panel or wall mounting. Model PCST – 01 – F is housed in Aluminum flameproof Enclosure with a glass window. This enclosure is suitable for installation in zones – I & II of II A & II B hazardous areas and is designed according to IS : 2148–1981 and is certified by CMRI, DHANBAD and CCOE, NAGPUR. Suitable Isolators, also housed in similar flameproof enclosure might be required to feed the input signals from Proximity Switches as a safety measure. It is suggested to feed the current output from these instruments to signal Isolators and use the current output from them for feeding to other instruments like recorders or controllers in the control room. Such Isolators are usually installed in the control room itself. Isolators for signals from proximity switches, which are installed in the field (Hazardous area application) and Current Signal Isolators, which are installed in control room (safe area), are not in the scope of supply along with this instrument. But they can be supplied by us on specific request. The system comprises of two parts, a sensing part and a signal conditioning part. The sensing part is made up of one sensor, a 2-wire, intrinsically safe, NAMUR PROXIMITY SWITCH, suitable for installation in hazardous areas or a 3 wire DC PROXIMITY SWITCH. The signal conditioning part is housed in the above mentioned Enclosure depending on the area of application. This part processes the signals from the sensor to provide local indication of RPM and give an output of 4 – 20 mA DC for transmission.
1.3 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Inductive Proximity Switch is used as sensor. These switches are used for non-contact detection of metallic objects. Their operating principle is based on a coil and oscillator that creates an electromagnetic field in the close surroundings of the sensing surface. The presence of a metallic object in the operating area, decided by the sensing range of that specific sensor, causes a dampening of the oscillation amplitude. The rise or fall of such oscillation is identified by a threshold circuit that changes the output of the sensor. The sensing range depends upon the size, shape and material of the metallic object. For a given dimension of the sensor, the sensing range is maximum for Mild Steel and minimum for Copper. Since there is no contact between the sensor and the metallic object, commonly referred to as the target, these Inductive Proximity Switches are inherently resistant to dust, humidity and oil and so are suitable for almost all industrial environments.
Page : 4 of 14 The Proximity Switches in 2 wire configuration are called NAMUR, Intrinsically safe . Current varies in the presence of Targets in these Sensors. There are no amplifier trigger stages in-built in them. Their current and voltage limits allow them to be used in hazardous areas. The Proximity Switches in 3 wire configuration need a DC power Supply in the range of 8-30 V DC, which is provided by the Signal Conditioning Part. They give an output through a third wire based on the presence of target within their sensing range. The output could be NO/NC and PNP or NPN type. PNP – NO type of output is standardized for this instrument, when a 3 wire Switch is used. When the targets are sensed by the Switch, current variation takes place, leading to generation of a pulse train. The signal conditioning part receives this pulse train. Depending upon the RPM, a proportional frequency is obtained, which is processed by the programmable converter to finally give out a 4 – 20 mA DC output, combined with many specific and salient features, which are user friendly. With the Technology used in this system, there is no need to calibrate the system, when ever there are any changes in the Full Scale values or the Number of Targets. It is very easy to feed in these parameters and get the results. The most advantageous feature is that there are no trimpots for Zero and Span Adjustments. There by, operator mistuning is avoided. Further, the entry of various parameters is protected by a password. So, unauthorized personnel can not tamper with the settings. Various other features like Power Failure Relay, Hi and Low Process Value Alarms are also incorporated in the system. Also Customer can select 0-20 MA DC output or 4-20 mA DC output and also a voltage output. Further the Frequency Signal generated by the pulse train is available as Scaled and Unscaled OC Pulses. The following precautions are to be taken during installation and interconnection of the sensor and the signal conditioner unit. 1. The targets on the rotating objects must be well within the sensing ranges of the Proximity Switches. 2. Spacing between successive targets should be more than the width of the Proximity Switch. 3. Cables should be run through conduits to avoid physical damage. 4. Polarity of Proximity Switch wires should be followed properly while terminating.

How to enter setting mode:How to enter setting mode:How to enter setting mode:How to enter setting mode: 1. Press “PROG” key, then display shows “PCODE”. Feed Pass code as “111” (Default pass code) and then
press “Enter” key. Then display shows the first parameter name, i.e. “SP1”. If the pass code is wrong, Display shows up “Sorry” and then shows up PCODE with Cursor Position In LEAST SIGNIFICANT DIGIT and starts showing a blinking ‘0’. This prompts us to enter the correct Pass Code.
2. Press any arrow key for going to the next parameter, or press “Enter” key for changing the current parameter, or press “PROG” key to quit the setting mode.
PARAMETERS LIST :PARAMETERS LIST :PARAMETERS LIST :PARAMETERS LIST : Parameter 1: “SP1” - Setpoint 1 (default 0) This is used to set the value of the First Alarm Level of the Process Variable. When Process value is greater than “SP1” , then RL1 toggles from its “Default RL1” state. Again RL1 is forced to its default value when Process value is less than (SP1-Hysterisys1). To set this, after seeing SP1, press “Enter”. The default setting is shown blinking. To change the value, use the “UP ARROW” and “LEFT ARROW” Keys. The Value selected represents the Engineering Units of the Process Variable, at which the First Alarm is to be activated. After selecting this value, press “ENTER”. The Display shows “OK Done” and then shows up SP1. To go the next parameter, press either of the “ARROW” Keys. This is the general procedure for entering and storing parameters. Parameter 2: "Hystrs1 " - Hysteresis to Set point 1 (default 10) Hysteresis is the difference between the values at which the relay toggles in ascending and descending directions of the Process variable. Parameter 3: "Def.RL1 " - Default RL1 state (default 1) If this parameter is “0” then RL1 is ON when PV > SP1 If this parameter is “1” then RL1 is OFF when PV > SP1
Parameter 4: “SP2” - Setpoint 2 (default 0) When Process value is grater than “SP2” , then RL2 toggles from its “Default RL2” state. Again RL2 is forced to its default value when Process value is less than (SP2-Hysterisys2).
Page : 9 of 14 Parameter 5: "Hystrs2 " - Hysterisys to Set point 2 (default 10) Parameter 6: "Def.RL2 " - Default RL2 state (default 0) If this parameter is “0” then RL2 is ON when PV > SP2 If this parameter is “1” then RL2 is OFF when PV > SP2
Parameter 7: "SampleTm" - Sample time for measuring the PV (default 500msecs) Range from 10 msecs to 100 seconds. Setting is in Milli Seconds. Parameter 8: "Units " - Units of PV (default U/Min) Three different time bases for the PV U/Sec – Units per second U/min – Units per minute U/Hr - Units per Hour Parameter 9: "DecPoint" - No.of digits after decimal point (default 0)
Parameter 10: "O/P Zero"- It is the value of the PV at which Analog output is zero (4mA) (default 0) Parameter 11: "O/P Span"- It is the value of the PV at which Analog output is Fullscale (i.e. 20mA) (default 1000)
Parameter 12: "ZeroCal "- Analog output Zero Calibration(default 15700) Adjust this value by comparing the analog output to get 4 ma DC or 0 mA DC as per the requirement, with a standard meter.
Parameter 13: "SpanCal "- Analog output Span Calibration(default 60800) Adjust this value by comparing the analog output to get 20 mA DC, with a standard meter. Parameter 14: "Threshld"- PV threshold(default 1) Analog output will be at its zero state till PV < Threshold.
Parameter 15: "NUM(MUL)"- PV Multipiler constant(default 1) The Input is frequency to this system. The Process Value is numerically related to this Input Frequency by a factor. This Factor contains a Numerator Selection and a Denominator Selection. When we measure a time dependent unit like RPM, the time base is also taken into consideration by direct selection as mentioned in Parameter 8. PV =( (Input Frequency x (NUM/DEN)) This Formula holds good when the time base of the Process Value is Seconds. If the Time Base is Minutes, the Right Hand Side in the Above Equation will be Multiplied by 60 and if the Time Base is Hour, The RHS will be multiplied by 3600. This Multiplication is done internally, when we chose the Units as in Parameter 8.
Parameter 16: "DEN(DIV)"- PV divider constant(default 1) Parameter 17: "Filter " – Low pass filter constant for PV (default 5) Adjust this parameter to the optimum value for stabilizing PV fluctuations
Parameter 18: "Self Test " – Self testing of Analog output Enter and feed the PV for checking the analog output Parameter 19: "New Code” – For changing the existing pass code.
Page : 10 of 14 After Entering all these parameters or just those which are required for the specific application, Press “PROG” and it gets ready to measure the Process Variable and transmit the Current output. A voltage Output is also available. The desired current output may be calculated as following. Suppose the speed of rotation, as indicated by the tachometer is ‘S’. Let the Full Scale Speed be ‘F’.
Desired Current output at ‘S’ = [ ] 16 4( / )S F × + mA DC
Example: F = 1000 RPM, S = 650 RPM
Desired Current at 650 RPM = [ ] 650 1000 16 4( / )× + =14.4 mA DC

For this, a multimeter with frequency measurement is required. The RPM INDICATOR is an instrument processing the input frequency and giving out proportional DC Voltage and Current. The input frequency is proportional to the speed or RPM. Hence a measurement of the input frequency will suffice to calculate the RPM. If the RPM is known, the procedure above to tally the current output and the displayed speed with the actual speed can be carried out.
Let us take a practical example to illustrate this verification process. Let the Full Scale Speed be 1,000 RPM. Let there be 4 targets on the Pole Wheel. The Proximity Switch generates one pulse for every target. If there are 4 targets, , it generates 4 pulses per revolution. Therefore, for 1,000 revolutions of the Pole Wheel, it generates 1,000 * 4 = 4,000 pulses. To convert this into input frequency at Full Scale Speed, we have to divide these pulses per minute by 60. So, the maximum input frequency corresponding to 1,000 RPM for a Pole Wheel with 4 targets is given by 4,000 / 60 = 66.7 Pulses Per Second or in other words, 66.7 Hertz. Thus the incoming frequency always represents the rotational speed of the object. By measuring this frequency, the speed can be calculated. If the frequency thus measured is 35 Hz, then the corresponding rotational speed is (35 / 66.7)*1,000 = 524.7, that is almost 525 RPM. Further calculations of desired current output for this speed of 525 RPM can be done as outlined earlier. The general formula for calculating RPM from input frequency is (Input Frequency / Full Scale Frequency) × Full Scale RPM(Input Frequency / Full Scale Frequency) × Full Scale RPM(Input Frequency / Full Scale Frequency) × Full Scale RPM(Input Frequency / Full Scale Frequency) × Full Scale RPM The general formula for calculating Full Scale Frequency is (Full Scale RPM ×No. of Targets) / 60(Full Scale RPM ×No. of Targets) / 60(Full Scale RPM ×No. of Targets) / 60(Full Scale RPM ×No. of Targets) / 60

RADIANT ENGINEERS
INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Radiant shell & Tube Heat Exchangers are custom engineered for specific operating conditions. Their successful performance and long life can be still enhanced by careful installation and periodic inspection.
INSTALLATION PLANNING 1. On removable bundle heat exchanger, provide sufficient clearance at the end to permit the removal of the tube bundle from the shell. On the floating head type exchangers, provide space to permit removal of shell cover and floating head cover. 2. On fixed tube bundle heat exchangers, provide sufficient clearance at one end to permit the removal and replacement of tubes and at the both ends provide sufficient clearance to permit rolling of tubes into the tube sheet. 3. For U-tube heat exchangers, provide sufficient clearance at the stationery head end to permit withdrawal of tube bundle, or at the other end to permit the withdrawal of the shell. 4. Adequate foundations for mounting the heat exchanger should be provided so that it will not settle and cause piping strains on the exchanger. Foundation bolts should be set to allow for setting inaccuracies. In concrete footings pipe sleeves at least one size larger than bolt diameter slipped over the bolt and cast in place are best for this purpose as they allow the bolt centers to be adjusted after the foundation has set. 5. Provide valves and bypasses in the piping system so that both shell side and tube side can be bypassed to permit isolation of exchanger for cleaning, inspection and repairs. 6. Make drain connection in such a fashion that is should be correctly determined that the exchanger has been thoroughly drained. 7. Install liquid level controls, relief valves, gauge glasses or liquid level alarms in all vapor or gas spaces to indicate any failure occurring in the condensate drain system and prevent flooding of the heat exchanger. 8. Surge drum can be installed upstream from the heat exchanger to guard against pulsation of fluids caused by pumps, compressors or other equipments.
MAINTENANCE 1. Clean exchangers subject to fouling (scale, sludge deposits etc) periodically, depending on the specific working conditions. A light sludge or scale coating on either side of tube greatly decreases its effectiveness. A marked increase in pressure drop and/or reduction in performance usually indicates cleaning is necessary. Since the difficulty of cleaning increases rapidly as the scale thickens or deposits increase, the intervals between cleanings should not be excessive. 2. Neglecting to keep tubes clean may result in random tube plugging. Consequent overheating or cooling of the plugged tubes, as compared to surrounding tubes, will cause physical damage and leaking tubes due to differential thermal expansion of the metals. 3. To clean or inspect the inside of the tubes, remove only the necessary tube side channel covers or bonnets depending on type of exchanger construction. 4. If the heat exchanger is equipped with sacrificial anodes or plates, replace these as required. 5. To clean or inspect the outside of the tubes, it may be necessary to remove the tube bundle. 6. When removing tube bundles from heat exchangers for inspection or cleaning, exercise care to see that they are not damaged by improper handling. The weight of the tube bundle should not be supported on individual tubes but should be carried by the tube sheets, support or baffle plates or on blocks contoured to the periphery of the tube bundles with hooks, chains or other tools which might damage tubes. After removal, move tube bundles on cradles or skids. To withdraw tube bundles, pass rods through two or more of the tubes and take the load on the floating tube sheet. Rods should be threaded at both ends, with the ends passing through a steel bearing plate and tube sheet. Insert a soft wood filler board between the bearing plate and tube sheet face to prevent damage to the tube ends. Screw steel eye lifting. As an alternate to the rods, thread a steel cable through one tube and return through another tube. A hardwood spreader block must be inserted between the cable and each tube sheet to prevent damage to the bundle ends. 7. Lift tube bundles horizontally by means of a cradle formed by bending a light-gauge plate or plates into a U-shape. Make attachments in the legs of the U for lifting. 8. Do not drag bundles, since baffles or support plates may become easily bent. Avoid any damage to baffles so that the heat exchanger will function properly.
9. Methods of cleaning: Circulating hot wash oil or light distillate through tube side or shell side. This will usually effectively remove sludge or similar soft deposits. Soft salt deposits may be washed out by circulating hot fresh water. Some commercial cleaning compounds may be effectively used in removing more stubborn deposits. If the scale is hard and the above methods are not effective, use a mechanical cleaning means. Neither the inside not the outside of the tube should be hammered with a metallic tool. Take extra care when suing scraper, they should not damage tubes. 10. Do not attempt to clean tubes by blowing, steam through individual tubes. This overheats the individual tube and result in severe expansion strains and leaking tube to tube sheet joints. 11. To locate rupture or corroded tubes or leaking joints between tubes tube sheets, remove tube side channel covers or bonnets. Pressurize the shell side of the exchanger with a liquid, preferably water. Observe tube joints and tube ends for indication of test fluid leak. 12. To tighten the leaking joint, use a suitable roller tube expander. Do not roll tube beyond back face of the tube sheet. Maximum rolling depth should be tube sheet thickness minus 1/8”. Do not reroll tubes which are not leaking. 13. When a heat exchanger is dismantled, new gaskets should be used in reassembly. 14. Use of new bolting in conformance with dimensions and ASTM specifications of the original design is recommended where frequent dismantling is encountered.
OPERATION 1. be sure entire system is clean before starting operation to prevent plugging of tubes or shell side passages. The use of strainers or setting tanks in pipelines leading to the heat exchanger is recommended. 2. Open vent connection before starting flow through the exchanger. 3. The first fluid admitted is that whose temperature most nearly approximates the ambient temperature of the unit. The heat exchanger should never be shocked by the sudden admission of extremely hot or cold fluids; repeated stresses are set up by such a procedure results in metal fatigue.
Thermal and physical shocks should be avoided whenever possible. For fixed tube sheet exchangers fluids must be introduced in a manner to minimize differential expansion between the shell and tubes. 4. Start operating conditions gradually after the system is completely filled with the operating fluids and all air has been vented, close all manual vent connections. 5. Retighten bolting on all gasketed or packed joints after the heat exchanger has reached operating temperatures to prevent leaks and gasket failures. 6. Sufficient circulation of the cold medium should be maintained at all times to prevent overheating, which could result in the depositing of scale, coke or sludge.

2. General
2.1 Proper UseControl actuators are intended to be used exclusively for actuating final control elements(valves, vanes, etc.). Do not use these actuators for any other purpose. Otherwise, ahazard of personal injury or of damage to or impairment of the operational reliability ofthe device may arise.
2.2 Safety and PrecautionsWhen mounting the actuator in areas which may be accessed by unauthorized persons,take the required protective measures.
! Warning !- Control actuators perform movements for positioning vanes and valves. Handleproperly and with care. Otherwise, a hazard of bruise injuries may arise.
- When changing the oil of the actuator, thoroughly remove any oil that may have rundown on the floor during the procedure to avoid accidents.
- Dispose of the waste oil in compliance with the respective local regulations. Makesure that no waste oil reaches the water cycle
- Only qualified specialists who have been trained for these tasks are authorized tomount and adjust the control actuator, and to make the electrical connection.
- When working on the actuator itself or its electronics always observe the locally validaccident prevention regulations and the regulations concerning the construction oftechnical installations.
3. Storage actuators may be stored under moist and aggressive condition for a shorttime. The equipment is protected against external corrosive influences. However, directexposure to rain, snow, etc. must be avoidedInterior areas of the actuator with risk of condensation are protected by desiccant placedin the connector (and in the terminal box of the separate electronics, if present). Thedesiccant guarantees sufficient protection for approximately 150 days. It can be regen-erated at a temperature of 90° C within 4 h.The desiccant must be removed prior to commissioning the actuator or the electronics.
3.1 Long-time StorageIf you intend to store or transport the device for a longer time, we recommend to wrap itin plastic foil and add desiccant. Regularly check if the desiccant is still active.
4. Delivery StateIf not otherwise specified by the customer, actuators are delivered with thefollowing standard configuration:Behavior in 0/100% position: Shut-off with rated torqueSetpoint function: Linear; setpoint = positioning valueInput (setpoint): 4 ... 20 mAFunction: Positioner, parameter: setpointOutput (actual value): 4 ... 20 mADigital inputs: DI 1 switch-over manual/automatic and v.v.

8. Mounting
8.1 Actuator Check- Is the actuator filled with the appropriate oil type?- Is enough oil in the actuator?- Did you fasten the separately delivered vent screw in the highest bore (depending on
the mounting orientation)?- Has the actuator integrated or separate electronics ?
8.2 Mounting orientationAll mounting orientations seen in Figure 2 are permissible. To facilitate mounting andmaintenance, however, it is recommended to use orientation IMB 3.
8.3 Mounting Instructions- Make sure that the actuator is accessible from all sides to ensure convenient hand-
wheel operation, electrical connection, and replacement of assemblies.- Avoid direct exposure to rain, snow and other environmental influences. Select the
mounting site accordingly.- Exclusively mount the actuator on a rigid, non-vibrating support to avoid relative mo-
tion between the actuator and the valve. - When mounting the actuator close to heat sources use an insulating layer or shield-
ing.
8.4 Mounting the Actuator to the Valve
8.4.1 Preparing the Equipment- Make sure that the shaft and lever bore surface are clean and free of grease.- Determine the length of the stay tube (not included in the scope of delivery). - Move the valve to the “CLOSED“ position. - Move the actuator to the corresponding end position using the handwheel. Observe
the permissible angle. - Spacing “L“ minus 140 mm yields the required length of the link tube.- Drill a cone bore into the valve lever for mounting the second ball-and-socket joint,
as seen in Figure 4. - Insert the ball-and-socket joint, secure with crown nut and split-pin. - Remove the welding bushings and weld them to the stay tube (C 15 to DIN 17210)- Insert the link rod between the two ball-and-socket joints and screw it in. - If required adjust “L” by turning the link rod.- When all adjustment steps are finished, fasten the counter nuts.
8.4.2 Adjusting the Stops in Dependence of the Travel- Move the output lever / valve to the position requiring fine adjustment. - Put the stop onto the toothing as close to the output lever as possible and fasten with
screws. - Move the output lever towards the stop using the handwheel; turn the coupling rod
for fine adjustment. - Fasten the counter nuts.- Fasten the stop in the other mounting position close to the end position, depending
on the toothing.
8.4.3 Adjusting the Stops in Dependence of the Torque - First proceed as described above for travel-dependent adjustment. - Prior to re-fastening the counter-nut lock the handwheel and then turn the coupling
rod in such a way that an initial tension occurs in the valve’s closing position. - Fasten the counter-nuts.

11. MaintenanceContrac actuators have a robust construction. As a result, they are highly reliable andrequire only little maintenance. The maintenance intervals depend upon the effectiveload and are therefore not specified here.The built-in microprocessor evaluates the actual load factors (e.g. torques, tempera-tures, etc.) and derives the remaining operating time until the next routine mainte-nance is required. Use the configuration program for viewing this information.
11.1 Motor and GearsAll maintenance work must be carried out by qualified specialists who have beentrained for this task. As a rule, perform the following routine maintenance works: - Check the shafts and gears.- Check the motor pinion gear and the respective mating gear.- Replace the motor’s rotary shaft seal and ball bearings.- Check the position sensor.- Change the oil; then make a visual check and check for proper operation.
11.2 Adjusting the Brake! Warning !
The actuator setting may be changed accidentally by the repelling power of the valve when the brake is released!
In automatic mode the brake is permanently released. Therefore, it is not exposed to wear and does not require any re-adjustment.
14
11.3 Replacing the Position Sensor
11.3.1 Dismounting- Disconnect the ribbon cable from the PCB - Undo the two fastening screws (1) of the position sensor and pull the sensor out
of the gears.
11.3.2 MountingThe toothed gear pair of the position sensor is held in place by a tension spring (3),to ensure sufficient free motion when the direction of rotation is reversed.
- Set the stop pin to the center position, as seen in Figure 15. - Align the sensor and its gears with the actuator; set the first toothed gear in
11:00 o’clock position (see Figure 16) onto the drive shaft gear (4). - Slightly move the sensor back and forth to pre-tension the toothed gears with the
difference “z“ until the second toothed gear snaps in. - Fasten the screws (1) tightly.- Connect the plug (5) of the ribbon cable to the PCB.

13. Your notes
RADIANT ENGINEERS
INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Radiant shell & Tube Heat Exchangers are custom engineered for specific operating conditions. Their successful performance and long life can be still enhanced by careful installation and periodic inspection.
INSTALLATION PLANNING 1. On removable bundle heat exchanger, provide sufficient clearance at the end to permit the removal of the tube bundle from the shell. On the floating head type exchangers, provide space to permit removal of shell cover and floating head cover. 2. On fixed tube bundle heat exchangers, provide sufficient clearance at one end to permit the removal and replacement of tubes and at the both ends provide sufficient clearance to permit rolling of tubes into the tube sheet. 3. For U-tube heat exchangers, provide sufficient clearance at the stationery head end to permit withdrawal of tube bundle, or at the other end to permit the withdrawal of the shell. 4. Adequate foundations for mounting the heat exchanger should be provided so that it will not settle and cause piping strains on the exchanger. Foundation bolts should be set to allow for setting inaccuracies. In concrete footings pipe sleeves at least one size larger than bolt diameter slipped over the bolt and cast in place are best for this purpose as they allow the bolt centers to be adjusted after the foundation has set. 5. Provide valves and bypasses in the piping system so that both shell side and tube side can be bypassed to permit isolation of exchanger for cleaning, inspection and repairs. 6. Make drain connection in such a fashion that is should be correctly determined that the exchanger has been thoroughly drained. 7. Install liquid level controls, relief valves, gauge glasses or liquid level alarms in all vapor or gas spaces to indicate any failure occurring in the condensate drain system and prevent flooding of the heat exchanger. 8. Surge drum can be installed upstream from the heat exchanger to guard against pulsation of fluids caused by pumps, compressors or other equipments.
MAINTENANCE 1. Clean exchangers subject to fouling (scale, sludge deposits etc) periodically, depending on the specific working conditions. A light sludge or scale coating on either side of tube greatly decreases its effectiveness. A marked increase in pressure drop and/or reduction in performance usually indicates cleaning is necessary. Since the difficulty of cleaning increases rapidly as the scale thickens or deposits increase, the intervals between cleanings should not be excessive. 2. Neglecting to keep tubes clean may result in random tube plugging. Consequent overheating or cooling of the plugged tubes, as compared to surrounding tubes, will cause physical damage and leaking tubes due to differential thermal expansion of the metals. 3. To clean or inspect the inside of the tubes, remove only the necessary tube side channel covers or bonnets depending on type of exchanger construction. 4. If the heat exchanger is equipped with sacrificial anodes or plates, replace these as required. 5. To clean or inspect the outside of the tubes, it may be necessary to remove the tube bundle. 6. When removing tube bundles from heat exchangers for inspection or cleaning, exercise care to see that they are not damaged by improper handling. The weight of the tube bundle should not be supported on individual tubes but should be carried by the tube sheets, support or baffle plates or on blocks contoured to the periphery of the tube bundles with hooks, chains or other tools which might damage tubes. After removal, move tube bundles on cradles or skids. To withdraw tube bundles, pass rods through two or more of the tubes and take the load on the floating tube sheet. Rods should be threaded at both ends, with the ends passing through a steel bearing plate and tube sheet. Insert a soft wood filler board between the bearing plate and tube sheet face to prevent damage to the tube ends. Screw steel eye lifting. As an alternate to the rods, thread a steel cable through one tube and return through another tube. A hardwood spreader block must be inserted between the cable and each tube sheet to prevent damage to the bundle ends. 7. Lift tube bundles horizontally by means of a cradle formed by bending a light-gauge plate or plates into a U-shape. Make attachments in the legs of the U for lifting. 8. Do not drag bundles, since baffles or support plates may become easily bent. Avoid any damage to baffles so that the heat exchanger will function properly.
9. Methods of cleaning: Circulating hot wash oil or light distillate through tube side or shell side. This will usually effectively remove sludge or similar soft deposits. Soft salt deposits may be washed out by circulating hot fresh water. Some commercial cleaning compounds may be effectively used in removing more stubborn deposits. If the scale is hard and the above methods are not effective, use a mechanical cleaning means. Neither the inside not the outside of the tube should be hammered with a metallic tool. Take extra care when suing scraper, they should not damage tubes. 10. Do not attempt to clean tubes by blowing, steam through individual tubes. This overheats the individual tube and result in severe expansion strains and leaking tube to tube sheet joints. 11. To locate rupture or corroded tubes or leaking joints between tubes tube sheets, remove tube side channel covers or bonnets. Pressurize the shell side of the exchanger with a liquid, preferably water. Observe tube joints and tube ends for indication of test fluid leak. 12. To tighten the leaking joint, use a suitable roller tube expander. Do not roll tube beyond back face of the tube sheet. Maximum rolling depth should be tube sheet thickness minus 1/8”. Do not reroll tubes which are not leaking. 13. When a heat exchanger is dismantled, new gaskets should be used in reassembly. 14. Use of new bolting in conformance with dimensions and ASTM specifications of the original design is recommended where frequent dismantling is encountered.
OPERATION 1. be sure entire system is clean before starting operation to prevent plugging of tubes or shell side passages. The use of strainers or setting tanks in pipelines leading to the heat exchanger is recommended. 2. Open vent connection before starting flow through the exchanger. 3. The first fluid admitted is that whose temperature most nearly approximates the ambient temperature of the unit. The heat exchanger should never be shocked by the sudden admission of extremely hot or cold fluids; repeated stresses are set up by such a procedure results in metal fatigue.
Thermal and physical shocks should be avoided whenever possible. For fixed tube sheet exchangers fluids must be introduced in a manner to minimize differential expansion between the shell and tubes. 4. Start operating conditions gradually after the system is completely filled with the operating fluids and all air has been vented, close all manual vent connections. 5. Retighten bolting on all gasketed or packed joints after the heat exchanger has reached operating temperatures to prevent leaks and gasket failures. 6. Sufficient circulation of the cold medium should be maintained at all times to prevent overheating, which could result in the depositing of scale, coke or sludge.
