14.Reinstall the bearing housing split bolts. Before torqu- ing bearing housing cap bolts, rotate the shaft by hand while bumping the bearing housing with a rubber or raw- hide mallet in the horizontal and axial planes to allow the bearings to align themselves to the shaft journals.
15.Torque the bearing housing cap bolts by following the torque values as provided in Table 6 on page 51.
Motor Handling/Rigging Ð Each motor is provided with lifting lugs, welded to the four corners of the motor frame, for lifting the assembled chiller. The motor should always be lifted by using the lifting lugs located on all four corners of the motor frame. (See Fig. 46.)
Spreader bars of adequate capacity and number must be used to avoid applying any pressure against the top air housing with the lifting plugs.
Fig. 46 Ð Motor Riggings
If the motor is lifted with the top air housing removed, the angle of the lifting slings with the horizontal should never be less than 45 degrees.
With the exclusion of the TEWAC cooler, the top air hous- ing is provided with 3¤4-10 tapped holes for lifting devices to be installed in order to remove the air housing from the mo- tor. The top air housing can be detached by removing the enclosure holddown bolts, located in the inside corners of the enclosure. These enclosure holddown bolts are accessed through the louver/screens located on the front and rear end of the chiller or through access panels bolted to the sides of the enclosure.
Uneven lifting must always be avoided. When single point lifting is to be used, slings of equal lengths must always be used to avoid uneven lifting.
Under no circumstances should the motor be lifted us- ing the shaft as an attachment point.
NOTE: Refer to weights speci®ed on certi®ed drawing to determine proper lifting equipment required for speci®c com- ponents or assemblies.
Motor Storage Ð If the chiller is to be placed in ex- tended shutdown, certain precautions must be taken to
provide proper protection while the motor is being stored. The motor should be stored under cover in a clean, dry lo- cation and should be protected from rapid temperature changes.
Since moisture can be very detrimental to electrical com- ponents, the motor temperature should be maintained at ap- proximately 5° F (3° C) above the dew point temperature by providing either external or internal heat. If the motor is equipped with space heaters, they should be energized at the voltage shown by the space heater nameplate attached to the motor. Incandescent light bulbs can be placed within the mo- tor to provide heat. However, if used, they must not be al- lowed to come in contact with any parts of the motor because of the concentrated hot spot that could result.
This motor has been provided with a shaft shipping brace or shipping bolt (normally painted yellow) to prevent shaft movement during transit, it must be removed to allow shaft rotation (refer to Before Initial Start-Up, Remove Shipping Packaging section, page 45). It is very important that this brace be reinstalled exactly as it was originally, before the motor is moved from storage or any time when the motor is being transported. This prevents axial rotor movement that might damage the bearings.
Motors equipped with sleeve bearings are shipped from the factory with the bearing oil reservoirs drained. In stor- age, the oil reservoirs should be properly ®lled to the center of the oil level gage with a good grade of rust inhibiting oil (refer to the certi®ed drawing for oil viscosity and any spe- cial requirements). To keep the bearing journals well oiled and to prevent rusting, the motor shaft should be rotated sev- eral revolutions every 2 weeks. While the shaft is rotating it should be pushed to both extremes of the endplay to allow for oil ¯ow over the entire length of the journals.
External Gear Storage Ð All internal and unpainted external surfaces of the gear drives have been treated with a rust preventative at the factory before shipment. The pro- tective life of the rust preventative varies with temperature ¯uctuations, atmospheric moisture content, degree of expo- sure to the elements during storage, and degree of contact with other objects.
Inspect all machined surfaces, and spray or add rust in- hibitor to exposed metal surfaces that may have had the pro- tective coating removed during shipping and handling.
To be sure that the gear drive operates satisfactorily at start- up, take certain precautions when you receive it. The ex- pected length of storage and the storage atmosphere dictate the maintenance schedule to be followed. The gear must al- ways be stored in its operating position, level on its mount- ing feet, and free of loads or weights on input and output shafts.
SHORT-TERM STORAGE (Indoors) Ð If the units are to be stored for 30 days or less, observe the following precau- tions.
·Store the unit in a clean, dry location with the factory pack- ing intact and with as nearly a constant temperature as possible.
·Elevate the unit a minimum of 6 in. above the ¯oor level.
·Avoid areas that are subject to extremes in temperature, vibration, and humidity.
LONG-TERM STORAGE (Indoors) Ð If the unit is to be stored for more than 30 days, observe the following precau- tions. Store in a clean, dry location. Elevate the unit at a minimum of 6 in. above the ground ¯oor level. Avoid areas that are subject to extremes in temperature, vibration, and humidity. In addition, do one of the following:
·Remove the breather and replace it with pipe plugs. Pack the entire seal area with grease to form a vapor barrier and seal with tape.
