1 FRAMO DOCUMENTATION
The Framo documentation consists of instructions and drawings for installation, operation and service. This documentation is our property. It is not to be traced, copied or published without our written consent, nor to be misused in any way. Framo Mounting Instruction is the general requirements to the yards for handling and installation of a Framo cargo pumping system, and it contains general instructions for handling, storage and installation of Framo equipment, in addition to design and installation of the hydraulic piping system. It is based upon practical experience from installation of high pressure hydraulic systems in cooperation with yards and owners all over the world. Kindly follow the instructions carefully to ensure a successful installation and a well functioning cargo pumping system. Please make special attention to the following: Think safety during design: - Appropriate location of equipment. - Sufficient service space. - Appropriate lifting equipment for maintenance and repair of installed equipment. - Appropriate marking of noisy areas. Think safety during installation: - Use of correct and approved lifting equipment. - Be aware of foreign voltage from interfaced equipment and switch off the main switch before any work on electrical equipment. - Hydraulic oil (on mineral oil base) has a flash point between 180-230C, and any leakage must not come in contact with heated surfaces. - Hydraulic pipe connections, flanges, valves etc. must not be located above or close to heated surfaces.

Think cleanliness during installation: - Maintain a high standard of cleanliness at all times. - Keep pipes and components clean and protected during the whole production- and installation period. Others: - Do not paint mechanical parts of switches (valve shutdown switches, or equal), manometers, level gauges or similar equipment, or flexible rubber elements (flexible hoses, dampers etc.) - Never weld on Framo equipment without special agreement.

The instructions are also based upon the authorities' requirements. These are however revised from time to time, and it is therefore necessary to keep oneself informed about the alterations and discrepancies between the different national authorities and classification societies. If drawings are sent to Framo for information or comments, yard must call attention to eventual deviation from Framo Mounting Instruction by giving remarks on the drawings.

1 FRAMO CARGO PUMPING SYSTEM


The Framo hydraulic system is designed as a central hydraulic ring line system. The hydraulic power unit delivers oil to the main pressure line, and from this line it is possible to run a number of hydraulic motors as long as the oil delivery is sufficient. In order to control the speed of the motor and to prevent over-speed, a control valve is fitted for each motor. For most of the systems delivered today, the hydraulic power packs, system tank, oil cooler and main filter are assembled, tested and supplied from our factory as complete compact power units.

5 LOCATION OF OTHER EQUIPMENT


Hydraulic driven pumps on deck, see section 7. Hydraulic driven thruster motor, see section 11. Deck mounted cargo heat exchangers, see section 12. Submerged cargo heat exchangers, see section 13.

6 FRAMO CONTROL SYSTEM


The Framo cargo pumping system is normally operated/monitored from the Framo control panel, consisting of hydraulic system control panel and cargo pump control panel. The control panel should be installed in the cargo control room or other indoor location where living quarter conditions can be kept. It should also be sufficiently illuminated and arranged for good contact/communication to the cargo manifold area to ensure a proper and safe cargo handling. The panels are sometimes designed for installation in yard s console, but the above recommendations still apply. The control system may also be interfaced with, and operated from vessels integrated control system. Local panels / motor starters should be installed in the vicinity of the controlled equipment.

Emergency stop arrangement


Framo supplies three emergency stop buttons as standard. One to be located close to the power pack room, and two for location on deck, normally installed close to manifold.

7 HYDRAULIC POWER UNIT (HPU)


Location of the hydraulic power unit (HPU) must be considered in an early stage of the ships planning, and one has to take into consideration: Minimum noise level in accommodation area Minimum noise emitted from the ship Optimum pipe routing Easy access for maintenance

Generally, HPU room location is recommended as shown below. For further information, see section 8.

9 HYDRAULIC OIL STORAGE / CLEAN OIL DRAIN TANK


The hydraulic oil storage / clean oil drain tank incl. necessary equipment is yard supply. Design requirements are described in section 10. Framo recommend to install the storage/clean oil drain tank below the HPU, either as two separated tanks, or as a combination tank for storage- and clean oil drain. With this location, eventual overflow from the system tank and drainage from the HPU will gravitate down to the clean oil drain tank. The storage tank/clean oil drain tank must be installed in-door, and the ship bulkhead or shell plating must not be part of the tank. This to avoid condensation and water in the hydraulic oil due to temperature differences. Neither must heated surfaces with temperature above 60C be part of the tank, (fuel tanks etc.). The transfer unit must be located close to the storage/clean oil drain tank to minimise the suction side pressure drop.

1 GOODS RECEIVAL
Immediately after receipt of equipment, please check that the supply corresponds to the packing list. Any missing items must be reported to Frank Mohn Fusa AS without delay. The equipment should be carefully inspected for transportation damage. Damages should be recorded, photographed, witnessed and reported to carriers and to Frank Mohn Fusa AS.

2 PRESERVATION, PACKING AND MARKING Preservation


Stainless steel components are pickled, cleaned and ready for installation. Mild steel components are protected against corrosion by means of priming or painting outside and protecting oil inside. The preserving oil is mixable with the hydraulic oil, and will give sufficient protection for about 1 year provided that the blank flanges are kept on. Un-primed mild steel seal faces are normally protected by a removable corrosion preventive coating (Tectyl).

Packing and marking


Generally most of the Framo components are packed in plastic-covered wooden boxes. Electrical equipment like electrical cabinets, starters and control panels have also silica gel inside for protection against moisture. Ventilation openings and cable entrances on electrical motors are in addition covered by fire resistant tarpaulin. Power units are normally covered by plastics and shipped in containers. If they are shipped on open flat racks, they are covered by light tarpaulin (reinforced plastic) in addition to the plastics. Submerged cargo- and ballast pumps are supported by special wooden racks. If the length is more than 14 meters they are split in two sections to simplify handling and transport. Smaller pump units, deck trunks etc. are fastened on pallets and covered by plastics. The deck trunks seal faces are protected by plywood. Prefabricated pipes are packed on transport racks with wooden frames and covered by plastics.

3 HANDLING OF FRAMO EQUIPMENT


Even if the components used in Framo Cargo Pumping Systems are of rigid construction, they should always be handled with care. Never step or climb on the equipment. Be careful not to destroy or remove the transport protection before final installation onboard. Lifting, lowering and handling in general should be done slowly and carefully to avoid damage to motor bearings caused by vibration and shocks. Note! Handling information given on the package must be strictly followed. Stainless steel components must not be in direct contact with mild steel.

3.1 Handling of power units


General info The power units are equipped with 4 lifting lugs. All of them must be used when lifting. Normally, a lifting device with 4 slings of equal length can be used to lift the power unit. Avoid contact between exposed parts of the power unit and the lifting slings. If special lifting tools are required, these are supplied by Framo together with the power unit.
Note! Forklift must never be used to lift the power unit.

Transportation in container Normally the power units are shipped in closed containers and should be taken out of the container as shown for the cargo pumps on page 6. If the power units are shipped in containers with open top, please note that these containers have a narrow passage at the top. Therefore, the power units must be lifted free for easy guiding and taken out broadwise. Special care must be taken not to collide with the side walls of the container.

Fig. 1

Transportation on flat rack If the power unit is wider than the container width, it is transported on a flat rack with a special cage for protection. This cage must be removed before the power unit can be lifted off the flat rack.

No.1401-0003-4 Feb-2000 Page 5 of 9

3.2 Handling of submerged cargo- and ballast pumps


The pumps are designed to withstand flexing and bending of the vessels structural members (bulkheads etc.). For this reason the pump bend easily, but as long as this bending is well within the elastic limits, it will do no harm to the pump. Incorrect and careless handling might, however, put undue strain on the pumps, causing permanent damage. The only acceptable way to lift pumps out of the wooden racks is to lift each pump/pump section separately.

Fig. 2

The pumps shall under no circumstances be lifted like this:

Fig. 3

Note! Damage to pump due to incorrect lifting and handling will not be covered by Framos guarantee.

Framo Mounting Instruction EQUIPMENT HANDLING - STORAGE AT YARD


If the pumps have been shipped in a closed container, they have to be pulled out as shown below. The following equipment is necessary for unpacking and lifting (Framo supply): - Two softslings. Minimum working Load Limit (WLL): 5 000kg. Length: 18 meters - Four softslings. Minimum working Load Limit (WLL): 1 000kg. Length: 2 meters 1. Four pallets in a good condition (yard supply) to be placed as shown in fig. 4 - 6.

No.1401-0003-4 Feb-2000 Page 8 of 9

4 STORAGE AT YARD
Generally it is preferred that all Framo equipment should be stored in-door. The equipment must be stored away from corrosive or chemically damaging fumes. Storage even for a short period in an area where work activities such as welding, grinding, sandblasting, painting, etc. is going on is prohibited. For protection and easy identification, keep the equipment in the packages supplied from Framo until installation onboard. If only some items in a box are needed for installation, keep the others in the box until installation. Blank flanges must not be removed before final installation. The protection on electric motors must be kept on until start up, and will then be removed by the Framo commissioning engineer. Control panels must be covered after installation onboard. As informed in chapter 2, Framo equipment is preserved for 1 year storage. This includes also cargo- and ballast pumps due to the internal mild steel hydraulic motor and high pressure pipe. Note! For long time storage (1 year or more), contact Framo for special instruction. The minimum storage conditions for Framo equipment are given below.

4.1 Storage in dry and clean conditions


All electrical components must be stored in a dry, clean room where temperature is kept steady above dew point. Typical components are: Electrical control panels Main electric boxes Starters Electrically driven power units *

* Electrically driven power units may be stored in warehouse without steady temperature provided that the electric motor heating elements are connected and switched on. Note! Connecting power voltage to termistors will damage the termistors and eventually the motor windings. Warnings should be placed on the motors when the heaters are connected.

4.2 Warehouse storage


The following must be stored in a dry, clean warehouse: Diesel driven power units. Hydraulically driven components. All valves and fittings for the hydraulic system. Deck trunks in mild steel. Portable cargo pump. Flexible hoses. Mild steel pipes.

Framo Mounting Instruction EQUIPMENT HANDLING - STORAGE AT YARD

No.1401-0003-4 Feb-2000 Page 9 of 9

4.3 Outdoor storage


Following equipment may be stored outdoor, provided it is properly protected with tarpaulin to protect it from iron dust from grinding, welding spatter, sea water spray, sand and bird droppings. (Stainless steel may corrode if surface is polluted) Cargo coolers/heaters. Deck trunks in stainless steel, (flange protection must be kept on). Pump supports. Stainless steel pipes. Submerged cargo pumps and ballast pumps.

Submerged cargo pumps and ballast pumps must be stored with their axis in a horizontal position, preferably in the same wooden rack as they were received. If the pumps have to be removed from the rack, they should be supported in at least three points as shown below. Note! The pumps must not be in direct contact with mild steel.

Tarpaulin Cargo pump

Supported in three points

Fig. 8

Oil in drums. To prevent water from leaking into the hydraulic oil, the drums have to be stored horizontally and in such a way that the drum bungs are wet by the oil.

The hydraulic oil is mixed with special additives, which improve the oil quality. If the oil is mixed with water, the additives may lose effect, or in worst case, give negative effect. Corrosion will occur and abnormal wear will lead to breakdown of the system.

Prior to pump installation the deck trunk and brackets for intermediate and bottom support have to be welded into the tank. Use of Framo dummy gives a correct installation of deck trunk, bottom support brackets and bracket(s) for intermediate support. The following installation procedure is based upon use of Framo dummy.

3.1 Framo dummy


The dummy has brackets for all flanged pipe connections on the pumps top plate for adjustment and prefabrication. It is neccessary to remove the flange protection for deck trunk (plywood) when using the top plate dummy. It is important to remount the plywood after use of dummy.

The dummy equipment package and assembling of measuring pipe are shown on fig. 8a and 8b. For length of dummy (LD), see Framo specification.

Calibration of laser
The laser is to be controlled before use to detect any inaccuracy during transportation. Control and adjust the laser as follows: - Grease the laser flange to make turning of the laser easier. - Locate the laser on the top plate dummy installed on the deck trunk. See fig. 16. - Turn the laser on. Mark the spot where the centre of the beam hits the suction well. - Turn the laser 90 and mark where the centre of the laser beam now hits the target. - Repeat the turning in steps of 90 until a full circle is completed, and mark the spots for each step. - The collection of spots should be within a circle of =20 mm. - If not all spots are within this circle, adjust the laser by the two adjustment screws, using a screwdriver. - After the adjustment, re-check the laser as described above. - Continue the above procedure until the accuracy of the laser is as specified above.

3.5 Recommendations for welding stainless steel to carbon steel


Sometimes it becomes necessary to weld stainless steel to carbon or low alloyed steel. A typical example is stainless steel wells welded into carbon steel tanks. The dilution of the weld metal by the base material must then be considered to avoid the formation of hard brittle structures. This is done by using a welding consumable with different composition to both base materials. Carbon steel filler metal will result in a high alloyed martensitic microstructure on the stainless steel side of the weld. Filler metal of the same composition as the stainless steel will result in the same microstructure on the carbon steel side. This microstructure will result in extensive cracking, often very difficult to observe. The correct filler metal shall instead be overalloyed stainless steel or Ni-based alloys to secure a ductile weld metal. These filler metals will tolerate a substantial dilution from the carbon steel without hardening. The composition should be specially balanced to ensure that the total alloy content is adequate to accommodate dilution effects and which have a ferrite content sufficient to provide high resistance to hot cracking. Preheating shall not be performed on austenitic stainless steel, since this will promote carbide precipitation in the grain boundaries and the formation of sigma-phase (a hard and brittle phase that dramatically increases the risk of cracking).

4 PREFABRICATION OF DECK PIPING


When the trunk is installed, the top plate dummy can be used for adjustment/prefabrication of the piping. - Remove the laser from the top plate dummy. - Assemble the brackets for the current connections. - Bolt the top plate dummy to the trunk in correct position (see dimensional drawing for top plate). The dummy can now be used for adjustment of the piping by fixing the pipe flanges to the relevant positions/brackets on the dummy.

Be careful not to damage the sealing surface on the deck trunk and protect the seal faces by the supplied plywood after this operation.

5 ASSEMBLING OF PIPE STACKS


The pump is to be assembled in a horizontal position. Every pump part is to be supported in at least two points. Note! The pumps must not be in contact with carbon steel.

6 INSTALLATION OF PUMPS IN TANK


The Framo cargo pumps have two different resilient arrangements on top plate. Installation of each arrangement is described separately.

Preparations:
Welding, sandblasting and grinding must be finished and tank must be properly cleaned before installation of pump in tank. For carbon steel tanks, also coating must be finished before installation.

Pickling
Pickling will be required prior to installation if the pump has been exposed to iron dust during storage or corroded surfaces/spots are detected. Framo recommend Avesta Pickling Paste or equal types for stainless steel. Follow the manufacturers procedure for pickling before starting the work.

Blank flanges
Blank flanges and seals on top plate shall be left until connection of the pump to the vessel s piping systems. The blank flanges on the pumps suction opening and the protection around the pump shaft shall be removed only by the Framo service engineer before water is filled into the tank.

Transport securing (Only on pumps with vacuum stripping pipe)


The steel wire on lower vacuum stripping pipe shall also be removed by the Framo service engineer.

Special tools required for installations are supplied by Framo in the toolbox. See tool list for descriptions. Bottom support /Intermediate support(s)
Install the support(s) on the bracket before the pump. Tighten upper nuts and lock nuts to 174 Nm (Fig. 26). If coated surfaces on bracket for support: 1) Assemble upper nut, use 174Nm torque. 2) Retighten to specified torque. 3) Assemble lock nut, use 174Nm torque.

7 PUMP WITH COFFERDAM HEADER TANK


Permanent liquid filled cofferdam is used when the submerged cargo pump is handling only one type of cargo (oil production & storage vessels).

Filling of cofferdam
- Fill the cofferdam through the headertank until the liquid level stabilises just above low level mark on the sight glass. - Use a ISO VG10 hydraulic oil in the cofferdam. (DIN51524 (1) HL, for instance Shell Morlina Oil 10). Due to expansion and air in the system, the level will stabilize between 2 to 7 days after filling. - The cofferdam volume depends on pump size and pump length. The following formulas give approx. volume required to fill the cofferdam to header tank low level mark : (volume in litres)

1 STORING ON BOARD

The portable pumping equipment must be stored easy accessible in a clean and dry area. The concentric hose can be stored on brackets on the bulkhead (see fig.1), or on a suitable hose reel, or lying in a shelf. The cargo hose and extension hoses can be stored on a suitable hose reel, or lying in a shelf. The pump and hoses must always be safely supported and fastened in order to avoid wear or damages due to ship movements. It is especially important that the hoses are not hanging or laying over sharp edges, or that sharp objects are placed upon them. The bending radius for the hoses during storage must be according to dimensioning drawings.

For TK150 / TK6 control valve + snap-on couplings are delivered in an equipment box. For TK80 control valve is connected to pump, while snap-on couplings are delivered in an equipment box. Equipment boxes are delivered with bracket for installation in fixed location together with the portable pump.

2 COUPLING STATIONS FOR PORTABLE EQUIPMENT


The portable pump includes hydraulic hoses with a control valve either connected to the end of the hose(concentric hose) or separately delivered. Standard length of this hoses are 10 and 18 m. Separate extension hoses must be connected between the control valve and the coupling stations (standard length of extension hoses is 10 and 18 m). The hydraulic ring line must be equiped with coupling stations (pressure and return) for connection/ operation of the portable pump. Each coupling station consist of a ball valve with blind flange for pressure connection, and a nonreturn valve with blind flange for return connection. Snap-on couplings are delivered separately in an equipment box, and are only mounted by ship crew when pump is connected for use. The number and location of coupling stations must be selected so that the portable pump can be used in every tank. A coupling station should preferably also be located close to the pump storage, to simplify testing of pump. Installation of coupling stations in hydraulic ring line must be according to figures below. This to avoid extra bending forces from the extension hoses on the coupling stations.

h = sufficient height above ship deck to avoid exceeding the allowable bending radius of the extension hoses, and give easy access for connection of the extension hoses.

1 GENERAL
Figures in this procedure are made general for all types of submerged ballast pumps. It is assumed that a dummy equipment package intended for the pump type to be installed, is available. For further information, see drawings for the actual ballast pump, deck trunk, intermediate support and dummy. The Framo hydraulically driven submerged ballast pump consists of: - Pump casing/ Air separator - Pump head - Pipe stack - Top plate - Evacuating system

Pump casing/ Air Separator


The pump casing is bolted to a foundation. An ejector is connected at the suction side.

Pump head
The pump head is mounted inside the pump casing.

Pipe stack
The pipe stack consists of a hydraulic pipe stack and an arrangement with pipe and cable for the evacuating system. The hydraulic pipe stack connects the pump head to the STC-valve. Supports on the pipe stack prevent horizontal movement and allow for vertical expansion.

Top plate/ Control valves


The pipe stack penetrates the top plate. A sealing device (bellow) between top plate and pipe stack allows the pipe stack to expand. The evacuation control system is attached to the top plate.

4 EXAMPLE OF PUMP INSTALLATION WITH FRAMO DUMMY


The pump casing has to be placed in the section before it is closed. It is of importance that the pump casing is protective covered until the installation of pump in tank. Prior to pump installation, the deck trunk and brackets for pump supports have to be welded into the tank. Use of Framo dummy will help you to get a successful installation of deck trunk and bracket of intermediate supports. The following installation procedure is based upon use of Framo dummy.

4.1 Framo dummy


Note! It is necessary to remove the flange protection for deck trunk when using the top plate dummy. It is important to remount the protection after use of dummy. The dummy equipment package is shown on fig. 12.

Calibration of laser
The lasers is to be controlled each time before use to detect any inaccuracy during transportation. Control and adjust the lasers as follows: - Grease the laser flange to make turning of the laser easier. - Locate the laser on the top plate dummy installed on the deck trunk. - Turn the laser on. Mark the spot where the centre of the beam hits the target. - Turn the laser 90 and mark where the centre of the laser beam now hits the target. - Repeat the turning in steps of 90 until a full circle is completed, and mark the spots for each step. - The collection of spots should be within a circle of =20 mm. - If not all spots are within this circle, adjust the laser by the two adjustment screws, using a screwdriver. - After the adjustment, re-check the laser as described above. - Continue the above procedure until the accuracy of the laser is as specified above.

CAUTION! Avoid staring straight into the laser beam.

6.2 Filling of liquid in cofferdam


All the SB-pumps have liquid filled cofferdam. - Cofferdam liquid: Ethylene glycol or propylene glycol* : 50-60 % Use pure glycol without additives. Commercially available automotive anti-freeze should never be used. Some of the additives in anti-freeze tend to form deposits on seal parts and thereby causing failure on the seals. Corrosion inhibitor (Rocor NB Liquid or equal) : 0.9% (initial dosing)

Other types of corrosion inhibitors for cooling water systems can also be used. The corrosion inhibitor must be compatible with glycol. The mix ratio and the use of the corrosion inhibitor must be according to the suppliers data sheets, as this can vary for the different types available. Demineralised water: Freezing point Freezing point ~ - 35C < - 40C 40-50% v. 50% glycol v. 60% glycol

Volumetric expansion : 0 - 60C ~ 63.5 x 10-5 litre/litreC

Filling:
- Install the drain tool and unscrew the drain plug. Connect a hose to the drain tool. It is then possible to fill the cofferdam through the hose while venting at the header tank. Fill the cofferdam until liquid level stabilises at max. level mark on the sight glass. - Water/glycol to be filled after filling of hydraulic oil.

Fig. 37

The cofferdam volume depends on pump type and pump length. The following formulas give approx. volume (in litres) required to fill cofferdam to low level mark in header tank: Pump type SB200 SB300 SB400 SB600 Pump head 2,5 80 95 125 Pipe stack L x 0,5 L x 3,5 L x 3,5 L x 3,5 Header tank 2,5 10 10 10 Total 5 + (L x 0,5) 90 + (L x 3,5) 105 + (L x 3,5) 135+ (L x 3,5)

L = Pump length in metres. (See Framo Specification)

* Other names for ethyleneglycol: monoethyleneglycol, 1.2 ethanediol, ethanediol. Other names for propyleneglycol: monopropyleneglycol, 1.2 propanediol, propanediol.

1 GENERAL
The hydraulic power unit (HPU) delivers oil to the main pressure line and consists of the following main parts: - Electric driven hydraulic power packs - Diesel driven hydraulic power packs - Main hydraulic oil filter - Hydraulic oil cooler - Common foundation - Enclosure for separating high pressure hydraulic oil from hot surfaces.

A hydraulic power pack consists of a hydraulic pump with a built on pulsation damper, either driven by an electric motor or a diesel engine. Each hydraulic power pack is resilient mounted and exhaust, fuel and water connections are delivered with flexible connections.

The auxiliary hydraulic unit consists of a hydraulic system tank and electric driven feed power packs.

Fig. 1 Hydraulic power unit (HPU) with 2 diesel driven and 2 electric driven hydraulic power packs.

Normally the hydraulic power units are supplied as shown in fig. 1, but they may also be delivered with the auxiliary unit as a separate item or with the auxiliary unit, power packs and filter/cooler unit delivered separately.

Framo Mounting Instruction INSTALLATION OF POWER UNIT, CLOSED LOOP

No.1401-0034-4 Rev.B Jan2003 Page 3 of 14

2 ARRANGEMENT
Normally the HPU is located at the same deck as the auxiliary unit with the hydraulic pumps facing forward and with the motor shafts parallel to ship centre line. The shield must be extended to the next deck. All hydraulic piping from HPU to consumers on deck will then be in the hydraulic room and diesel engines/electric motors will be located in the engine room. Fig. 2 and 3 shows an arrangement which gives: - Minimum noise level in accommodation area - Minimum noise emitted from the ship - Easy access for maintenance - Optimum routing of hydraulic and exhaust pipes. - Shielding of high pressure hydraulic oil from engines/hot surfaces and electric equipment (Shield to be extended as shown in fig. 12.) - Machinery room ventilation can be used for the electric motors/diesel engines.

Fig. 2 Recommended HPU room arrangement

Note! High pressure piping/flanges to be segregated from ignition sources (exhaust, electric starters, etc.) The auxiliary unit is normally a part of the power unit. If it is delivered as a separate item it may be oriented in any directions but should if possible be located on the same deck as the hydraulic power unit. If not possible it should be located on a higher deck level but not more than 8 meters above the hydraulic power unit. This is limited by the maximum allowable drain oil pressure.

Air distribution
The air should be distributed to all parts of the room to avoid pockets of stagnant hot air and any oil vapour from crankcase ventilation. Arrangement for separating the hydraulic side from motor side with ventilation ducts on both side is shown fig.8. When arranged like this, the ventilation capacity for the hydraulic room will be reduced.

5 FOUNDATION AND MOUNTING


The hydraulic power unit foundation to be welded (only outside) to a rigid deck structure and filled with concrete to prescribed level. Gutter and drain possibility is recommended (Yard supply). Yard extension of shield is shown in fig. 12.

Fig. 12

Framo Mounting Instruction INSTALLATION OF POWER UNIT, CLOSED LOOP

No.1401-0034-4 Rev.B Jan2003 Page 9 of 14

Auxiliary unit (if delivered separately) To prevent vibrations transmitting to the steel structure, the auxiliary unit must be mounted on rigid foundation filled with concrete (minimum 70 mm thickness).
Auxiliary unit is resilient mounted as shown in the figure 13. Flat bars and rubber insulation are supplied by Framo. For welding of flat bars to the foundation use the following procedure: - Place the auxiliary unit with flat bars and rubber insulation on the concrete filled foundation. - Spot weld the flat bars to the foundation (careful with the rubber insulation). - Remove the auxiliary unit and the rubber insulation before the flat bars are welded to the foundation with continuous fillet welding. - Assemble the auxiliary unit after cleaning and painting of welding zone.

Fig. 13

If the filter/cooler unit is delivered separately, same procedure as above (fig. 13) to be used.

No.1401-0034-4 Rev.B Jan-2003 Page 10 of 14

6 COOLING ARRANGEMENT
The hydraulic oil is cooled by sea water or fresh water automatically controlled by an electrically operated on-off valve. The valve is operated from the Framo PLC (Programmable Logic Control). The cooling water flow and max. pressure must be in accordance with the technical data given for the system. Note! - Too low water flow through the cooler may cause corrosion/fouling problems. - Too high flow may cause erosion problems.

The water flow is controlled by means of orifices at the water inlet and outlet side of the hydraulic oil cooler. This orifice is calculated and delivered by Framo. To verify that the flow is correct, differential pressure between the two test points must be measured. If differential pressure is out of the tolerances given in technical data, Framo must be contacted.

Fig. 14 Cooling system arrangement

When the power unit is installed above sea water level and sea water is used as cooling medium, piping at the outlet side must be routed above oil cooler and a vacuum breaker must be installed. Sea water piping should have sufficient zinc anodes.

7 CABLE/STARTER CABINET FOR ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT


Recommended cable routing:

Fig. 15

The hydraulic power packs are resilient mounted and therefore allowed to move relatively to the foundation. Accordingly, cable trays and their supports must be connected to the foundation and not to the hydraulic power packs. Welding on electric motors are prohibited. The cables should be arranged to allow for removal of electric motors. The starter cabinet should be located outside the hydraulic room (ref. fig.8).

Wiring between hydraulic power unit and local diesel engine control panel
To secure optimal performance and running conditions of the diesel engine, following details must be noted (ref. fig. 8): - Individual screened cables to be used for pick-up and actuator. - The screens to be terminated to dedicated terminals, not to ground. - Max. cable length and min. cross section to be respected.

8 STARTING SYSTEM FOR DIESEL ENGINES


Air starting The piping from the reduction valves to the starter shall be as short as possible in order to limit pipe losses. Starter motor is supplied with a flexible hose.
All connections should be made up with Loctite pipe sealant or equivalent. Teflon tape should not be used in starting air systems. Design the piping to ensure that drain does not enter the starter motor. Install a drain valve at lowest point (see fig.16).
Fig. 16

Framo Mounting Instruction INSTALLATION OF POWER UNIT, CLOSED LOOP

No.1401-0034-4 Rev.B Jan-2003 Page 12 of 14

Electric starter:
- Only starter type battery should be used in order to provide sufficient starting current with limited internal voltage drop. Refer to technical data for the project regarding recommended battery capacity. - Installation and charging of batteries must comply to class requirements with respect to location, ventilation etc. - Cables for starters must be dimensioned according to fig.17 to minimize voltage drop. - Make sure that good contact is obtained in all terminations in the starter circuit.

10 EXHAUST
To achieve rated power, exhaust back pressure must be below maximum level, ref. technical data. Exhaust pipes from several engines shall have separate outlets. The exhaust piping should not be routed at the hydraulic side of the shield. It must be routed in order to prevent entrance of water (ref. fig. 20). Note! The exhaust system must be shielded . The diesel engines are provided with a compensator at the outlet of the turbocharger to prevent excessive stress to engine. The compensator for exhaust pipe allows a maximum simultaneous lateral movement of 10 mm and an axial movement of 10 mm (ref. fig.21). A combined silencer/spark arrestor is provided for each engine as a separate item. Keep the blank flange at the top of the exhaust
Fig. 20

compensator on until initial start-up to be sure there is no water ingress. Install the silencer as close as possible to the engine or near the outlet. The silencer can be installed in any position from horizontal to vertical, however flow direction indicated on the identification plate must be respected. When mounted horizontally note that the soot collector must be at the lowest point enabling for periodically cleaning.

Fig. 21

Note! Installation, supporting and calculation data for the exhaust piping are given in separate instruction from the engine makers instructions.

3 ELECTRIC MOTORS
Refer to instruction Installation of power unit for recommendations regarding routing of power cables, cable trays and supports. Yard must ensure that grounding of all motors and related equipment is carried out. Power pack motors are heavy consumers on board. Yard is responsible for dimensioning the power cables with respect to thermal capacity and voltage drop during starting and full load operation. If applicable, interface to power management system is normally implemented in power pack starters. If starters are supplied by Framo, a power management system functional description detailing quantity of signals, pulsed or maintained contacts etc. to be submitted. If applicable, by pass switch shall be provided by yard. Nuts for power cable termination points must be secured with lock nuts and tightened with torque meter according to type of bolts/thread dimension used. This is also applicable to termination points in starters and feeder panel. In order to preserve original protection grade (IP), correct glands or sleeves must be used. Refer to applicable documentation for details regarding starting methods and wiring diagrams. Notes! Bolts, nuts, washers etc. must not be dropped into the motor as such foreign particles will lead to short circuit of the motor. Cables for motor-heating element and thermistors must not be interchanged, as a voltage higher than 2.5 V will damage the thermistors. Motor heating elements must be powered immediately after installation on board.

1 GENERAL
In general we have the same requirements for installation of yard equipment connected to the Framo system, as for equipment supplied by Framo. The equipment must fit in with the Framo system regarding: - Cleanliness - Oil type and viscosity - Hydraulic oil consumption and pressures - Functioning without giving pressure peaks in the hydraulic system Hydraulic system pressure, return pressure and other information are given on the Framo hydraulic diagrams. Equipment and connecting pipes must be properly cleaned prior to commissioning. Oil used for flushing, testing and preservation must be compatible with the oils meeting Framo requirements. Note! Never use engine oil for combustion- or engine lubrication oil in combination with hydraulic oil or its equipment, as this will damage the hydraulic oil.

2 HYDRAULIC OIL STORAGE / CLEAN OIL DRAIN TANK


The storage/clean oil drain tank incl. necessary equipment is yard supply, and shall in addition to storage of oil make it possible to drain off clean oil from the system during service. To avoid water mixing with the oil and simplify drainage of water, it is recommended to slope the tank bottom down towards the bottom drain outlet. If the tank bottom is not sloped, the suction outlet to hydraulic oil transfer pump must be minimum 100 mm above bottom drain outlet. Hydraulic oil tanks must be vented indoor, not to open deck. Air filters should be used. All pipes (except overflow) must have outlet openings below minimum oil level.

Fig. 1 Hydraulic oil storage tank and clean oil drain tank

Framo Mounting Instruction YARD EQUIPMENT

No.1401-0010-4 Rev.B Nov-2002 Page 3 of 4

Storage volume depends on the ships operating trade area (easy or difficult supply of hydraulic oil) and owners experience. To be prepared for all possibility, we recommend the storeage volume to be approximately 30% of total oil volume in the system. Minimum clean oil drain volume must be sufficient for draining of hydraulic pressure- and return lines on deck and down to the power unit in addition to the power unit/auxiliary unit itself. Recommended clean oil drain volume to be approximately 70% of total oil volume in the hydraulic system. The storage/clean oil drain tank may be used as two separated tanks or as a combination tank. The storage/clean oil drain tank and its piping are parts of the hydraulic system with the same requirements regarding cleaning as the system. Tanks in mild steel must be degreased and grit- or sandblasted internally to SA 2.5 and given two coats of a two-pack epoxy based cargo tank coating (resistant to hydraulic oil) of 100 micron each, or according to the coating suppliers recommendation. The first coat to be laid without delay after grit- or sandblasting and dust cleaning. Tanks in stainless steel should not be coated. Pipes and parts for oil filling and air venting will remain empty for longer periods and may corrode. The pipes are almost impossible to clean and coat properly inside, and we therefore recommend to use only stainless pipes. Copper- or galvanised pipes must not be used. Air filters may be assembled directly on the tanks to avoid pipes.

3 CLOSING TIME FOR CARGO VALVES


To prevent cargo pump over-speed and surge pressure in the cargo system, the cargo valves must not operate faster than stated below without Framo approval. Generally we recommend cargo- and drop line valves to be remotely operated. Manual operated valves is recommended to have gear.

4 HYDRAULIC DRIVEN EQUIPMENT WINCHES, CRANES ETC.


To ensure correct function of the complete system, the yard is responsible for the adaptation of their equipment connected to the Framo cargo pumping system. The Framo hydraulic system is operating at constant pressure, and hydraulic oil consumption is not accepted from any equipment during stand still condition. In addition to the general requirements, the equipment must comply with the following: - Separate service valves for each units pressure-, return- and drain line to be included by the yard, making it possible to do service without stopping the complete system. The valves are to be installed in the pipelines, not as part of the control valve assembly. - Manometer test connections must be provided by the yard both on pressure- and return side, making it possible to do trouble shooting and to check for pressure peaks. - Air venting valves/plugs must be installed on the highest possible point on both pressure- and return side of the equipment. - The equipment must not transmit pressure surges into the system, and must therefore have possibilities for limiting the response time (flow variation). Accelerating/retarding time from 0 to maximum and from maximum to zero oil consumption must be >2,0 seconds. - The equipment must have a pressure compensated flow limiting valve on the pressure inlet side to avoid motor over-speed. - Hydraulic motor housing and shaft sealing system must be designed for a hydraulic return pressure of minimum 10 bar to avoid separate drain lines. - Shaft sealing systems must have protection against sea water, air and contaminant intrusion. - If separate drain lines are installed, drain oil filter with dirty filter indication/alarm to be included by the yard. Minimum filtration ratio B15 200. - Separate hydraulic internal reservoirs or drain tanks are not acceptable. - Generally Framo do not accept hydraulic cylinders connected to the system. For cranes with hydraulic cylinders, use a separate hydraulic system with a hydraulic motor driven from the Framo system. - All equipment must be properly cleaned to meet ISO contamination code 4406 class 15/11 or better prior to installation. Oil used for cleaning, testing and preservation must be compatible with the oils meeting Framo requirements.

1 GENERAL
Figures in this instruction are made for tank cleaning pumps of type SD100/125/150-W5. It is assumed that a dummy equipment package intended for the pump type to be installed, is available. For further information, see drawings for the actual tank cleaning pump, deck trunk, support rings and dummy.

The Framo hydraulically driven submerged tank cleaning pump consists of three main parts:

Top plate
The tank cleaning pump is supported by a deck trunk welded to the deck. A special gasket and a resilient bolt arrangement will reduce noise and prevent cargo leakage.

Pipe stack
The pipe stack connects the pump head to the top plate. Dependent on pump length, the pipe stack is supported by intermediate support(s).

Pump head w/suction box


The pump head is enclosed by the suction box equipped with flange connection for the suction pipe. The pump head and suction box are supported by the bottom support.

Cathodic protection
The pump is equipped with Zn- anodes which are connected to the intermediate support plates and pump head/suction box to avoid galvanic corrosion.

4 EXAMPLE OF PUMP INSTALLATION WITH FRAMO DUMMY


Prior to pump installation the deck trunk and brackets for intermediate and bottom support have to be welded into the tank. Use of Framo dummy will help you to get a successful installation of trunk, bottom support bracket and brackets for intermediate supports. The following installation procedure is based upon use of Framo dummy. Note! It is important that the trunk and brackets for supports are welded into the ship at the latest possible stage to ensure correct position according to dimensional drawings.

4.1 Framo dummy


The dummy has brackets simulating all interfaces to flanged pipe connections on the pumps top plate for adjustment and prefabrication. Note! It is neccessary to remove the flange protection for deck trunk (plywood) when using the top plate dummy. It is important to remount the protection after use of dummy. The dummy equipment package is shown below. For lengths, see Framo specification.

No.1401-0026-4 Feb-2003 Page 9 of 19

Calibration of laser
The laser is to be controlled before use to detect any inaccuracy during transportation. Control and adjust the laser as follows: - Grease the laser flange to make turning of the laser easier. - Locate the laser on the top plate dummy installed on the deck trunk. See fig. 9. - Turn the laser on. Mark the spot where the centre of the beam hits the target. - Turn the laser 90 and mark where the centre of the laser beam now hits the target. - Repeat the turning in steps of 90 until a full circle is completed, and mark the spots for each step. - The collection of spots should be within a circle of =20 mm. - If not all spots are within this circle, adjust the laser by the two adjustment screws, using a screwdriver. - After the adjustment, re-check the laser as described above. - Continue the above procedure until the accuracy of the laser is as specified above.

CAUTION! Avoid staring straight into the laser beam.

5 PREFABRICATION OF DECK PIPING


When the trunk is installed, the top plate dummy can be used for adjustment/ prefabrication of the piping. - Remove the laser from the top plate dummy. - Assemble the brackets for the actual connections (ref. drawing of top plate dummy). - Bolt the top plate dummy to the trunk in correct position (see dimensional drawing for top plate). The dummy can now be used for adjustment of the piping by fixing the pipe flanges to the relevant positions/brackets on the dummy.

Fig. 19

Note! Be careful not to damage the sealing surface on the deck trunk and protect the seal faces by the supplied plywood after this operation.

6 ASSEMBLING OF PIPE STACKS


The pump is to be assembled in a horizontal position. Every pump part is to be supported in at least two points. Note! The pumps must not be in contact with carbon steel.

Fig. 20

Check that pump no. on all the pump parts are identical. Pump no. is placed on top plate and flange for suction box. Locate the pump parts in correct positions one after another. Every part is to be supported in at least two points Note! Pumps with total length above 20 meters have to be assembled during installation in tank.

Special tools for pressure testing are supplied by Framo. See tool list for descriptions. Disconnect header tank and pipe to STC. Blank off cofferdam check pipe (see fig. 23). The blank flange is a part of the Framo supplied standard tool. Connect air supply and manometer to the connection on STC and carefully increase pressure to max. 3 bar. Stop the air supply and observe the pressurized volume for 15 minutes (pressure drop indicates leakage). Flush the flange connections with soapy water to be sure of no leakage. Reinstall the complete header tank and pipe to STC.

7 INSTALLATION OF PUMPS IN TANK 7.1 Preparations


Note! Welding, sandblasting and grinding must be finished and tank must be properly cleaned before installation of pump in tank. For carbon steel tanks, also coating must be finished before installation.

Pickling
Pickling will be required prior to installation if the pump has been exposed to iron dust during storage or corroded surfaces/spots are detected. Framo recommend Avesta Pickling Paste or equal types for stainless steel. Follow the manufacturers procedure for pickling before starting the work.

Blank flanges
Blank flanges and seals on top plate shall be left until connection of the pump to the vessels piping systems. By then the piping system has to be inspected for foreign bodies and cleaned. The blank flange/protection cover on the pumps suction opening and the protection around the pump shaft must be kept on until pump has been installed and tank has been cleaned and approved. The protection shall be removed only by the Framo service engineer.

Special tools required for installations are supplied by Framo in the toolbox. See tool list for descriptions. Bottom support /Intermediate support(s) Install the support(s) on the bracket(s) before installation of pump. Tighten nuts as follows (fig. 24):
1) Assemble upper nut, use 190 Nm torque. 2) Tighten all bolts one more time, use 190 Nm torque. 3) Assemble lower nut, use 190 Nm torque.

Deck trunk
Remove the flange protection and inspect the sealing surface on the deck trunk flange. Required surface roughness is Ra 1,6 m. If the sealing surface has been damaged (scratches, grooves) during transport or installation, the damages must be removed by careful grinding/polishing by abrasive paper.

Fig. 24 Bottom and intermediate support

Note! If grinding/polishing is required, this must be done according to fig. 25.

Never grind across seal face

Correct grinding direction

7.2 Installation
Clean the gasket groove in the top plate. Stretch the gasket over the top plate, -take care not to damage the gasket. The gastket has to be greased with teflon grease before installation in the top plate. Gasket and grease are supplied by Framo. Install the gasket carefully in gasket groove while the pump is still lying hoizontal. Install two guide pins in top plate (180 apart). Install lifting tool on the top plate (supplied by Framo in the toolbox)
Fig. 26

Lift the pump to a vertical position. Two cranes should be used to raise the pump to vertical position, one crane for lifting, the other for keeping the lower part clear of the ground. The lower part must not be allowed to slide along the ground during lifting. For pump above 12 metres it is recommended to use a snatch block on the lower part. Minimum length of the wire through the snatch block = 2 x length of the pumps lower part.

Fig. 27

Lower the pump until the top plate rests on the deck trunk. Be careful when the guiding pins enter the deck trunk holes. Install rubber bushings and hexagon head bolts under the trunk flange. Use Loctite on the bolts. Tighten bolts in a diagonal sequence to 44 Nm. Remove the two guide pins, and install the two remaining rubber bushings and bolts. Tighten bolts to 44 Nm.

7.3 Additional information during installation of pumps above 20 meter


Note! The pump has to be pressure tested after assembling and installation in tank. This requires an arrangement in tank which give access to the flange connections in pipe stack.

Lower part
Install the lifting tool on pipe stack. Lift the pump head section into the tank. Stop lowering when pipe stack flange is approximately 0,5 m above deck trunk. Install the securing tool on the deck trunk (see actual tool drawing). Continue lowering until the pipe stack is resting on the securing tool (fig. 31). Secure the lower part before removing the lifting tool.
Fig. 30

Upper part (top plate section)


Remove the blank flanges. Clean the all O-ring grooves with a clean and dry rag. Lift the upper part in position above the deck trunk. Continue lowering until the distance between the flanges is 50-100 mm. Install lifting bolts (toolbox) and lift the lower pipe stack section by using the lifting bolts. Be careful when the connection pipe enter the high pressure pipe. For assembling of flanges, see page 14.

Fig. 31

Lift the assembled section and remove the securing tool. Lower the pump as described in chapter 6.1.

Pressure test the pump according to page 15.

8 FILLING OF PUMPS COFFERDAM


- Hydraulic oil filling of pump must be done before cofferdam filling. - Fill the cofferdam through the header tank until the liquid level stabilises just above low level mark on the sight glass (filling tool included in tool box).

Fill up cofferdam and header tank with: Ethylene glycol or propylene glycol * : 50-60 % Use pure glycol without additives. Commercially available automotive anti-freeze should never be used. Some of the additives in anti-freeze tend to form deposits on seal parts and thereby causing failure on the seals. Demineralised water Freezing point ~ - 35C Freezing point < - 40C Volumetric expansion : : 40-50% v. 50% glycol v. 60% glycol

0 - 60C ~ 63.5 x 10-5 litre/litreC

- The cofferdam volume depends on pump type and pump length. The following formulas give approx. volume (in litres) required to fill cofferdam to low level mark in header tank:

Pump type SD100 SD125/150

Volume in litres ( L x 0,6 ) + 3 ( L x 0,6 ) + 12

L=Pump length in metres. (See Framo Specification)

DESIGN 1.1 Optimum hydraulic pipe layout


All hydraulic lines, including expansion loops, must be routed in order to avoid air pockets. This is applicable also for pilot lines. Key items are: All pipes must be resilient mounted, except pilot pipes on deck. Acceptable load on resilient pipe clamps. All pipe supports, pipe clamps and anchor points must be welded to rigid structure. Bending of pipes where possible, in order to reduce quantity of flanges and fittings. Carbon steel pipes must be painted with final coating system before installation on open deck, to avoid corrosion in clamping zone.

1.2 General requirements


To obtain a long lasting and well functioning hydraulic plant, cleanliness is of great importance. Framos requirement is to keep the pipes and components clean and preserved during the whole production and installation period. Following must be considered during layout of hydraulic pipes: Spool length up to 12m where practical Stress caused by the system pressure Thermal expansion caused by temperature changes in the system (max. oil temp. 60C) Mechanical forces caused by deflection of ship structure

Documentation: All material used must comply with classification society rules, regarding material certificates and production documentation.

1.3 Detail design


Hydraulic pipe spools must be designed to ensure visual inspection for all inside weld seams, ref. fig. 4. Use of instruments like videoscope or similar is an acceptable inspection method.

Figure 7, 8 and 9 show how the required flexibility length (L-U) changes with increasing pipe dimension with a small total piping length (one curve for all pipe dimensions) and a large total piping length (four curves with several pipe dimensions) when assuming a maximum differential temperature Tmax=50C (FDP). The intersection of the above mentioned curves and the upper flexibility limit will indicate the required flexibility length (L-U) on the axis of abscissas. For a given pipe dimension a total piping length smaller than L=15m will also require a smaller flexibility length (L-U) somewhere between the maximum value and the minimum required flexibility length for L=5m (linear interpolation can be performed).

1.8 Noise reduction


It is of great importance to isolate hydraulically driven equipment and connected piping from ship structure by us of: Resilient pipe clamps Resilient bulkhead penetrations Resilient anchor points, horizontal/vertical

1.8.1 Installation of resilient pipe clamps


Due to fabrication tolerances on pipe supports and prefabricated pipes, pipe clamps must be possible to adjust in order to have similar compression on rubber pads. Pipe supports must be welded to rigid structure, ref. fig. 19.

Recommended procedure :
1. In order to make adjustment more easy, resilient pipe clamp to be welded to an angle bar or similar, prior to spot welding to pipe support.

Fig. 17

2. 3. 4. 5. Note!

Check acceptable load for resilient pipe clamps. Angle bar with resilient pipe clamp must be spot welded to pipe support. After all pipes are in position and aligned, angular bar must be adjusted, if necessary to similar compression on rubber pads. Clamps must not be overloaded. Welding of bracket to be completed. Carbon steel pipes must be painted with complete painting system before installation, to avoid corrosion in clamping zone. Following pipe lines must be resiliently installed: Pipe lines: All hydraulic lines, except pilot lines on deck Cargo line Drop line Stripping line Cooling water (HPU) Fuel connection (HPU) Exhaust connection (HPU) Requirement: Distance between clamps, see table page 9 Minimum 2 pcs close to pump If clamp is required If clamp is required Flexible bellow Flexible hose Flexible bellow

In order to obtain a correct installation of the resilient bulkhead penetration, the following procedure must be followed: 1. Reinforcement of bulkhead/deck by use of additional stiffeners is required due to cut out in bulkhead plate. See fig. 23. 2. Hole in bulkhead/deck to be cut out according to actual size. See table, measure A. 3. To obtain correct distance from bulkhead to penetration flange, temporary adjustment pieces can be cut to reduce distance. For increase of distance shims to be used (Ref. measure B and C). 4. Install bulkhead penetration temporary by tack welding. 5. Support rings to be dismantled. 6. Pipe inside to be fitted to bulkhead flange. Fig. 237. Remove the adjustment pieces. 8. Check alignment: radial = 5mm axial = 6mm 9. Trunk to be sequence welded to bulkhead. Use welding consumables for carbon steel/ stainless steel (309 Mo). 10. Reinstall the support ring, and check alignment (item 8). 11. Outside pipe to be fitted after adjustment and welding. 12. After sandblasting and painting of bulkhead/deck plate, remove protection tape. Prior to start of surface treatment bulkhead penetration must be protected by use of canvas or simular.

Note!

Longitudinal welded return pipes must be fabricated by approved mill for fabrication of welded pipes.

Pipe dimensions Pipe dimensions given in Framo hydraulic diagrams show the minimum internal pipe diameter. This is based upon max. permitted pressure drop calculation for each vessel. The wall thickness is depending upon class requirement, material quality, material treatment and bending of the pipes actually installed. It is yards responsibility to ensure that the wall thickness complies with the classification society rules. The thickness given on the hydraulic diagram is for guidance only. When the hydraulic piping system is part of Framos delivery, Framo will do the necessary calculations according to classification society rules.

2 FABRICATION OF HYDRAULIC PIPES


In order to reduce installation time, prefabrication of hydraulic pipes can be carried out in workshop up to possible extent (~80 - 85%). Adjustment pipe to be used at bulkhead penetrations and between service valves and pumps only.

2.1 Degreasing of carbon steel pipes and accessories before production


Note! Preservation oil may cause toxic gasses during welding.

2.2 Protection of flanges


The seal surface must be protected during the entire production period. Flanges must be protected by use of blank flanges, rubber gaskets and min. 4 bolts.

3 INSTALLATION ONBOARD 3.1 General requirements for installation onboard


Key items are: Prefabrication of hydraulic pipes in workshop up to a possible extent of (80-85%). Hydraulic pipes and components must be kept clean, preserved and blanked off during the installation period. Ensure that blank flanges are fitted to all connections until final assembly on board. Note! Open ends will lead to contamination of the hydraulic system.

Fig. 58

Alignment of pipes must be checked, and axial gap must not exceed figures given in fig. 54. Alignment of pipe clamps must be checked, and adjusted if required. All pipe supports must be welded to rigid structure. Pipe supports must be designed to take forces from piping system and anchor points. Axial clearance in resilient bulkhead penetrations must be checked.

Note!

Hemp, codille, tow and sealing compound as Permatex or similar must never be used in a hydraulic piping system.

BLOCK (UNIT) INSTALLATION


Pre-outfitting of hydraulic pipes in blocks (units) may cause problems regarding misalignment of pipes and pipe clamps. To prevent misalignment and leakage following details are important: Pipe clamps must not be welded before assembly of blocks and alignment of pipes.

Framo Mounting Instruction HYDRAULIC PIPING INSTALLATION

No. 1401-0017-4 Rev. A Sep-2002 26 of 26

Adjusting spool pieces must be minimum 2 - 3 m long in order to give sufficient alignment. During installation of adjusting spools, pipe ends must be moved (forced) 3 - 5 mm in longitudinal direction in order to avoid damage of o-rings.

Fig. 59

3.2 Tightening torques for bolts


In order to obtain correct pretension, the threads, plus screw heads and contact surface of nuts against foundation, must be clean and lubricated before tightening. The lubricating agent should be Molybdenum sulphide on screw connections of stainless steel type (A4-80 or similar). If pneumatic or electric hammer is used during assembling this should be used for light tightening, followed by tightening with a torque wrench. If no torque is specified in service instruction or on drawing, use tightening torque according to table: TORQUE REQUIRED (Lubricated bolts) Mild steel qualitySteel quality A4-80 8.812.9Stainless steel 23 Nm 47 Nm 81 Nm 197 Nm 384 Nm 660 Nm 1337 Nm 40 Nm 79 Nm 137 Nm 332 Nm 648 Nm 1113 Nm 2257 Nm 22 Nm 44 Nm 76 Nm 190 Nm 370 Nm

GENERAL
This document is intended as a guide with some examples for possible cargo piping on Chemical carriers, Oil product- and Crude oil tankers. Other design criteria may apply for FSOPs and OBOs. The cargo piping arrangement will depend on type of vessel, cargoes to be carried and number of segregations, but should always be arranged for optimal efficiency regarding loading, discharging, draining and cleaning. In addition to the different authorities and owners requirements, the following main items must be considered during design: Cargo piping material. Segregation and a minimum risk of cargo contamination. Self-drainage or easy draining of piping and components. Optimal arrangement and number of valves. Valves. Type-Material-Operation (remote and/or local operation). Number of flanges reduced to a minimum. Easy access for operation and maintenance of equipment. Service spools for dismantling and maintenance of equipment. Maximum cargo pressure and equipment design pressure. Mechanical forces from ship structure. Anchor points and expansion loops. Resilient pipe clamps close to the Framo cargo pumps. Flexibility between Framo cargo pumps and cargo drop line.

From a stripping point of view, an arrangement with the manifolds (crossovers) below cargo deck lines, and with the deck lines sloping against the manifolds is preferred. From a loading point of view, an arrangement with the manifolds above cargo deck lines is preferred. Plus- and minus for the different arrangements are given in page 6, and regardless of manifold location, arrangements should be made to reduce or avoid the drawback of the selected design. Cargo can be loaded through the Framo submerged cargo pump, but the loading capacity/pressure is limited by an anti-rotation brake in the pump, (preventing the impeller from rotating during loading). Separate cargo drop lines should always be installed to obtain a satisfactory loading rate, and also to make it possible to by-pass the cargo pump during loading. For cargo circulation (cargo heating with deck heaters or circulation of cargoes with high content of sediments), the drop line outlet in tank should be as far away from the cargo pump inlet as possible. If limited space on deck, drop lines may be routed inside the cargo tank. Pressure transducers for remote reading of cargo pressure should preferably be installed between the cargo pump and the cargo valve, making it possible to read the cargo pressure when the cargo pump is running, even with closed cargo valve.

CHEMICAL CARRIERS
A typical chemical carrier has normally fully segregated cargo tanks, i.e. one pump, one cargo line and one manifold for each tank. Cargo piping material is normally stainless steel. Efficient stripping and cleaning of cargo pipes after discharge are normally given the highest priority, and we therefore recommend that the cargo deck line is sloping toward the manifold as shown in fig.1. For different arrangements, see page 6. (R) = Remotely operated valve is recommended.

OIL PRODUCT - AND CRUDE OIL TANKERS


Oil product and crude oil tankers usually have 2 - 6 segregations with two or more submerged cargo pumps connected to each cargo line and manifold. Fig. 2 shows a typical arrangement with two pumps connected to one common cargo deck line and manifold (crossover). Cargo pipe material may be stainless steel or coated carbon steel. Maximum flow velocity should not exceed 6 m/s in stainless steel pipes, and 3,5 m/s in coated pipes (or flow limits given by the coating supplier). - Coated carbon steel pipe dimensions have to be increased compared with stainless steel to obtain the same loading and discharge rate due to the lower flow velocity limit. Limited spool lengths are recommended to ensure proper coating and satisfactory inspection. - Stainless steel piping gives reduced dimensions, reduced number of flange connections, reduced weight, and reduced volume of cargo and washing water to be drained from the piping system. Flushing with fresh water after eventual tank cleaning with seawater is required. Due to the ship size and large cargo pipe- and manifold dimensions, it is most practical to install the cargo deck lines parallel to deck. It is recommended to install a common drain line to improve the stripping and cleaning possibilities for the cargo lines after discharge.

SELF - DRAINING
During the last years, efficient stripping of cargo tanks, pumps and its associated piping system has been a very important part of the cargo handling operation. General key words: - Minimum cargo left onboard after stripping. - Shortest possible stripping time. - Lowest possible Air/Inert gas consumption. - Easy cleaning. When designing the cargo piping system, the key word is Self-Draining, both for piping and components. Even small details may improve the drainage possibility. The piping should be self-drained without pockets and dead pipe ends. Typical examples are shown in fig.4.

Drain

Fig. 4

Separate drain lines may be used to compensate for non self-drained pipes, but this induce more lines to be cleaned, and discharge time (time for emptying the cargo lines) will normally increase.

Framo Mounting Instruction CARGO PIPING

No. 1401-0018-4 April-2000 Page 8 of 12

Possibilities for easy draining of manifold and/or cargo deck piping to slop tanks should be made. Equipment such as cargo deck heaters and its piping must be self-drained to tank through the cargo drop line as shown in fig. 3.

4.1 Cargo deck lines above manifold

Fig. 5

For cargo deck lines sloping against the manifold, only a purging connection for blowing the cargo ashore is required.

During discharge and stripping the ship is normally trimmed by the stern, and cargo deck lines forward of manifold may therefore be parallel to deck.

4.2 Cargo deck lines below manifold

For cargo deck lines sloping toward the pump, separate drain lines and drain connections must be installed. Fig. 6

2 CLEANLINESS REQUIREMENT
High pressure hydraulic pumps, motors and control valves have close tolerances and require clean hydraulic oil to obtain reliability, good performance and long lifetime. Contaminated oil will not provide satisfying lubrication and is a leading contributor to reduced efficiency, excessive down time and increased maintenance costs. There are three types of possible contamination in hydraulic systems: - Solid particles Increased wear, reduced oil- and component life time, sticking valves, unexpected system shut downs. Reduced lubrication, generating of metal particles to the system, corrosion, reduced life time for oil and components. Pressure shocks and serious damage to hydraulic pumps, motors, piping and other components, loss of oil and oil pollution.

- Water

- Air

The contamination may enter the system: - During production and assembling of the system. - During hydraulic oil filling. (New oil from supplier, refined and blended under clean conditions is not clean). - Together with the atmospheric air through air venting on the hydraulic tanks. - By wear and tear generated within the system. - During service.

To prevent contamination, it is important to maintain a high standard of cleanliness at all times. - Keep pipes and components clean and protected during the whole production- and assembling period. - The hydraulic oil must always be filtered by using the Framo hydraulic oil transfer unit when oil is filled into the system from the storage tank. - Oil filling must be done without mixing air into the oil during oil filling. It is very time-consuming to get rid of air when it is mixed into the hydraulic oil. - Hydraulic tanks must be vented indoor and if possible through air filters. - Wear and tear to be prevented by checking the hydraulic oil quality and cleanliness regularly, and by replacing filter elements when necessary. - Keep all parts clean during service and assembling. Refill with clean oil, vent and flush carefully after assembling.

Cleanliness level:
The required cleanliness level is based upon ISO Solid Contaminant Code ISO 4406. The code was revised during 1999 and are now referring to 3 sizes of particles, 4 - 6 - and 14 micron(c). (Previous code referred to 5 - and 15 micron). A typical result according to the revised code will be 18/16/12. Framo will only use the two last digits referring to 6- and 14 micron(c).

The highest level of particles accepted in Framo systems is code 16/12. Recommended cleanliness level during circulation and flushing is code 15/11 or better. When reporting a particle count, it must be reported how the particle counting has been carried out: - According to previous ISO 4406. - According to revised ISO 4406 (1999). - By optical microscope. Number of particles in 1 ml 320 640 12 20 40 Particle size acc. to previous code 5 micron 15 micron Particle size acc. to 1999 revision 6 micron (c) 14 micron (c)

3 LEAKAGE AND PRESSURE TESTING OF PIPING SYSTEM


The hydraulic system must be pressure tested to ensure that it is correctly mounted and not leaking. It is recommended to carry out a leakage test of the piping system with clean nitrogen gas at low pressure before oil filling in order to locate possible leakages in the system without causing oil spill. For final pressure testing with hydraulic oil, Framo requires the following minimum test pressures: - Pressure lines: According to the classification society requirement or at least system pressure + 70 bar. - Return lines:11 bar The Framo commissioning engineer must be informed in due time before pressure testing. Note! Framo equipment is pressure tested in the factory before shipment and must be bypassed during testing.

No.1401-0019-4 Rev.C Dec-2002 Page 5 of 12

3.1 Leakage testing


The nitrogen gas bottles must be equipped with separate relief valves to take care of the safety. Before testing is started, every pipe connection and fitting is to be checked, and bolts re-tightened to assure that there are no loose connections. Disconnected pipes and equipment must be blanked off. All blank flanges on HP pipes should have venting plugs for air venting when pressure testing with hydraulic oil. It is recommended to adjust and keep the nitrogen gas pressure at approximately 3 bar while every connection on the piping system is examined by means of a soap-water mixture in order to locate possible leakage.

Fig. 1

No.1401-0019-4 Rev.C Dec-2002 Page 6 of 12

3.2 Safety
The hydraulic piping system is under very high pressure during testing. Every possible action must be taken by the Yard in order to avoid damage both to man and material. Note! Before pressure testing is started every person not participating in the pressure testing itself should be evacuated from exposed areas. All access to the ship to be marked with signs, for example as shown below.

To have an overview of the hydraulic system there should be one person in charge for the pressure testing. One person to be looking after the system in the power pack room, one in the pump room and others on strategic places along the piping system. They must have communication equipment enabling them to inform the person in charge if a leakage occurs. Necessary equipment for collecting and removing of hydraulic oil must be available in case of leakage. Note! If hydraulic oil is leaking from the piping system during testing, the test pressure must be set to zero. Leaking oil must be collected immediately and exposed area cleaned. The hydraulic oil must be drained out before any repairs are made on the piping system. Hydraulic oil is slightly toxic, but will not cause bodily harm during normal use according to oil companies information. However, be aware of that: - Long lasting contact with the skin may cause skin irritation. Cover the skin or use protecting cream when working with hydraulic oil. - Oil into the eyes is normally not dangerous, but painful. Rinse the eye with fresh water for at least 15 minutes. - High concentrations of oil mist can irritate the respiratory organs.

3.3 Pressure testing with hydraulic oil


Hydraulic pipes must be pressure tested with hydraulic oil. Water or other fluids must never be used for pressure testing. For pressure testing of the pressure lines, a special and clean pressure testing pump must be used. Note! The hydraulic power unit must not be used for pressure testing.

Framo Mounting Instruction Hydraulic oils - Oil filling - Pressure testing - Flushing

No.1401-0019-4 Rev.C Dec-2002 Page 7 of 12

For pressure testing of the return lines, the hydraulic oil transfer unit can be used. Oil must not be filled into the system before the Framo commissioning engineer has inspected and accepted the cleanliness of the piping system and the associated system- and storage tanks. If the hydraulic oil cooler and/or main filter box have been supplied separated from the HPU, (for closed systems only) the return line in-between must be checked very carefully before oil filling. Initial oil filling must be carried out according to chapter 4 and in co-operation with the Framo commissioning engineer. It is recommended only to fill oil into the hydraulic pressure lines and start with pressure testing of these lines. If leakages occur during the test, the oil may simply be transferred to the return side before repair, by using the hydraulic transfer unit.

Before oil filling, check that:


- All HP service valves (ball valves) are in open position and blanked off in the open end. - All ball valves on the snap-on coupling stations are in open position, ref. fig.1. - The system back-up valve is closed in order to reduce the leakage over the valve to a minimum. For pressures above 315 bar, a small leakage is normal. - The heating and venting valve is closed. For pilot operated heating and venting valve, HP service valve to be closed. For test pressures higher than 350 bar, HP service valve to be open and blanked off in the open end.

After oil filling according to chapter 4, item 4.1, and proper air venting:
- Start the pressure testing pump and adjust the pressure in small steps up to approximately 70 bar. After the pressure is stabilised, hold this pressure while the complete piping system is checked for leakage. - Leakage control must be made by visual inspection and by monitoring irregular pressure drops. Note that normal internal leakage in some hydraulic components might cause a certain pressure drop during the inspection period. - The visual inspection of the piping system should be carried out in two steps. First a quick overview of the system to ensure that there is no major leakage, then every connection has to be checked for leakage. - Continue to raise the test pressure in steps up to approximately 150 bar, and check for leakage as described above. - Finally, the test pressure is to be adjusted in steps up to max. pressure according to the classification society requirement or at least system pressure + 70 bar for the pressure line (ref. page 4). Hold this pressure until the complete piping system is examined for leakage (minimum 10 minutes or according to the classification society requirement). When pressure testing of pressure lines is finished, continue to fill the return lines according to item 4.1. Pressure test the return lines (ref. page 4).

4 INITIAL OIL FILLING


Oil must not be filled into the system before the Framo commissioning engineer has inspected and accepted the cleanliness of the piping system and the associated system- and storage tanks. Initial oil filling must be carried out in co-operation with Framo commissioning engineer. Necessary time for oil filling and venting depends on the system size, but in spite of limited time schedule, we must emphasise the necessity of using the time needed to fill oil and get air out of the system by proper venting. The oil must be filled slowly into the lowest possible connections, making it possible to fill up the pipings gradually while the air can escape through the open venting connections on the highest points. It is very time consuming to get rid of air when it is mixed into the hydraulic oil, and mixing must therefore be avoided. If possible, the ship should have aft trim if the power unit is located aft, and forward trim if it is located forward during oil filling and venting. Venting must be done from all the high points in components and system. If deck machinery is connected to the system, these are normally the highest points. Only the hydraulic oil transfer unit should be used for oil filling of the system. Capacity is given in Technical Data.

4.1 Oil filling before pressure testing


Fill up the storage tank. Prepare for pressure testing according to chapter 3. Open venting connections on the pressure side highest points. Drain off a small quantity of oil from the storage tank for visual check. Connect the transfer unit flexible hoses. Suction to T and supply to HP (ref. fig. 1), and open the valves for oil filling into the HP line. Vent the hydraulic oil transfer unit, and check direction of rotation. Start the hydraulic oil transfer unit and fill oil into the high pressure line. Vent all pressure branch lines when the main pressure line is filled. When all the pressure lines are completely filled and vented, stop the transfer pump. Let possible air settle for at least 12 hours, then start pump for refilling and venting. When all air seems to be out, stop pump and disconnect flexible hoses.

Pressure test the pressure lines according to item 3.3. When pressure lines are tested, start oil filling into the return lines. Open all the venting connections on the return side highest points. Connect the transfer unit flexible hoses. Suction to T and supply to LP (ref. fig. 1). Vent all return branch lines when the main return line is filled. When all the return lines are completely filled and vented, stop the transfer pump. Let possible air settle for at least 12 hours, then start pump for refilling and venting. When all air seems to be out, stop pump and disconnect flexible hoses.

4.2 Oil filling before flushing


All Framo components are flushed prior to shipment and need no flushing if the blanking equipment is in good condition and kept on until final installation. Our flushing procedure is based upon use of the Framo hydraulic power unit, and orifices must therefore be installed in the pressure lines to ensure that the hydraulic pump pressure always is kept above 50 bar. Required flushing flow for different return pipe dimensions are given in the flushing diagram. The calculated flow and orifice dimensions are based upon oil viscosity 46 cSt, density 870 kg/m3, a Reynolds number of approx. 4000, orifice discharge coefficient 0,65 and pressure drop 50 bar over the orifice. For other viscosities and pipe dimensions, flow and orifice dimensions may be calculated from the following formulas: Required oil flow : Orifice diameter : Q = 8,7 x d x n/46 [l/min] D= d = Inside pipe diameter [mm] n = Oil viscosity [cSt]

Q x 0,3 [mm]

Install orifices, and bypass as many components as possible according to the flushing diagram. Orifices must be installed so that the jet stream do not damage the flexible hoses, refer to fig. 2. We recommend using HP flexible hoses to avoid collapsing due to bending. Minimum dimensions:

Fig. 2

No.1401-0019-4 Rev.C Dec-2002 Page 10 of 12

When the pressure testing is completed and all preparations are made according to fig. 3 and the flushing diagram, proceed as follows: Open the heating and venting valve and valve(s) in the main return line (Pilot operated heating valve can be opened by plugging the pilot connection). Connect the transfer unit flexible hoses. Suction to T and supply to HP. Check storage tank oil level and start oil filling into the pressure line. Check storage tank oil level regularly during oil filling. Vent all piping and equipment not bypassed, hydraulic pumps, valves, oil cooler and main filter box. Stop transfer pump when the hydraulic system tank is filled and change suction hose from T to C for circulation. Circulate and vent until the oil cleanliness level is 15/11 or better. Stop the transfer unit and disconnect the flexible hoses. The hoses must be disconnected when the transfer unit is not used, and the valves to be closed.

5 FLUSHING
Flushing is the last and final cleaning procedure in order to remove particles that has entered the system during installation, and to bring the cleanliness of the system oil up to an acceptable level. All Framo components are flushed prior to shipment and need no flushing if the blanking equipment is in good condition and kept on until final installation. Use of the Framo hydraulic power unit for flushing has proven to be the most efficient, time saving and practical procedure to avoid unnecessary dismantling, oil spillage and possible entrance of contamination during assembling. It is absolutely necessary that our procedure is followed very carefully if the Framo power unit is used for flushing. Hydraulic pumps must not run with pressure below 50 bar. Before starting the main hydraulic pumps for flushing, the hydraulic oil in the system tank must have cleanliness level 15/11 or better. An oil sampling procedure is included in the Framo Service Manual. Note! Initial oil filling and start-up of the system has to be done by the Framo service engineer. The oil flow must be turbulent in order to remove particles from the inner surface of the pipes and transport them to the filter. Necessary flushing capacities based upon inside pipe diameters and oil temperatures are given in the flushing diagram. Oil flow for each power pack is given in Technical Data for the installation. Recommended average oil temperature during flushing is 50C. The flushing time depends on system size, cleanliness and piping material. Stainless steel pipes require normally less time for flushing than mild steel pipes. The following figures may be used as a rough estimate: - Main lines, 1st sequence: - Branch lines (each): - Main lines, 2nd sequence: Approx. 6 hours Approx. 2 hours Approx. 4 hours

5.1 Flushing procedure


When all preparations have been made according to item 4.2 and initial start-up of hydraulic power packs are finished, follow the procedure given below. System pressure to be max. 70 bar.

Main lines
Start one power pack and run at system pressure of max. 70 bar. Open the heating valve (Pilot operated valve can be opened by plugging the pilot connection). Run for approximately 5 minutes and take oil sample. Stop power pack. If cleanliness level is above 16/12, start circulation with jockey pump (for open systems) or feed pump (for closed systems). When cleanliness level is 15/11 or better, start necessary number of power packs for flushing of - main return line. System pressure max. 70 bar. Manually operated heating valve can be kept open, but pilot operated heating to be turned off and HP service valve to be closed. Open service valves to necessary number of branch lines to obtain sufficient oil flow. Check cleanliness level regularly. If level increases above 16/12, stop flushing and start circulation to reduce number of particles. Fill in the Flushing report included in the Framo Commissioning Protocol. Flush until cleanliness level 15/11 or better. - Check flow and temperature according to flushing diagram. -

Framo Mounting Instruction Hydraulic oils - Oil filling - Pressure testing - Flushing

No.1401-0019-4 Rev.C Dec-2002 Page 12 of 12

Branch lines
- Close the heating valve. - Start necessary number of power packs for the arranged number of branch lines to be flushed simultaneously. - Open ball valve to the branch lines and follow the same procedure as for the main lines. - Continue until all branch lines are flushed to cleanliness level 15/11 or better.

Main lines, 2 nd sequence


- Start necessary numbers of power packs for flushing of main return line. - Open the heating valve and ball valve to necessary number of branch lines to obtain sufficient oil flow. - Flush until cleanliness level 15/11 or better.

Pilot pipes and pipes with inside diameter less than 25 mm


For these pipes turbulent flow is not obtainable due to the high pressure drop. It is therefore required that the pipes are purged with clean nitrogen. Other methods like Pigging (special plugs blown through the pipe by using a special tool) may be used, but the results depends very much upon pipe material, quality, welding and pipe lengths. Please contact Frank Mohn Services AS if such methods are considered to be used.

Branch pipes for dry mounted pumps and thruster motors


See separate flushing diagram.

6 OIL FILLING OF COMPONENTS, CIRCULATION AND VENTING


All by-passed components, cargo pumps etc. must be filled with oil and vented properly after flushing to avoid air mixed into the system. It is very important to get the air out of all components and hydraulic lines instead of having the oil/air mixture back to hydraulic tank, hydraulic pumps etc. Note! Oil filling has to be done slowly to let the air escape through the venting connections. Air in the system is indicated by: - Back flow to the hydraulic tank during stand still - Great difference between tank level at low and high system pressure - Foaming - Discolorated oil Please note that Framo is not responsible for damages caused by air in the hydraulic oil, or if the system has been started without Framo commissioning engineers approval.

No.1401-0020-4 Rev. Oct-2000 Page 2 of 5

1 GENERAL
The commissioning shall ensure that the delivered equipment, installation and its function are in accordance with the Framo documentation, and to demonstrate the operational capabilities of the system. The time consumption for commissioning depends on ship type and size, system size, and Yards progress related to other equipment and parts of the ship which will effect the various activities related to the Framo cargo pumping system. It is also related to a correct installation according to Framo requirements. In general the commissioning is divided in two sequences:

1. Verification of design and installation procedures, (normally not necessary for the 2nd and the following ships in a series if the Yard personnel responsible for the installation are the same). 2. Final check-out and start-up

2 VERIFICATION OF DESIGN AND INSTALLATION PROCEDURES


The verification part should be a coordination meeting between Yard and Framo to ensure that the engineering and the actual installation are carried out to both parties satisfaction. This quality assurance meeting should be held at the Yard at an early stage of the installation. The following personnel should participate: From Yard : Outfitting and Design personnel. (It is very important that personnel responsible for the actual installation on board are present during this meeting).

From Framo : Project manager (Technical dept.) and Project engineer (Service dept.) Yard and Framo should appoint suitable time for this meeting, and the verification activity should mainly be focused on: Handling and storage of Framo equipment. Review technical documentation. Location and installation of Framo equipment. Location and installation of Yard associated equipment. Hydraulic- and cargo piping installation. Pre-inspection of installed equipment. Commissioning progress and schedule (to be worked out). Review the practical realization of the final check-out and start-up activities, requirements for Yard assistance etc.

3 FINAL CHECK-OUT AND START-UP SCHEDULE


During check-out and start-up of the Framo Cargo Pumping System also other equipment on board will be involved, such as auxiliary machinery and generators, cargo lines and tanks, cargo and ballast valve systems etc. Installation and commissioning of these systems must therefore be incorporated when planning the various activities and time needed.

Framo Mounting Instruction COMMISSIONING - TESTING


Delays and waiting time caused by insufficient planning or progress of the installation leads to additional cost for the commissioning, which again have to be covered by the buyer. An effective verification meeting will however improve the possibilities for a smooth and effective total commissioning within the agreed timeframe given in the Framo Acknowledgement of Order. As a guidance for the different Framo check-out and start-up activities, a typical example of a schedule is shown below.

4 FINAL CHECK-OUT AND START-UP


Please note that Frank Mohn Services AS must be informed minimum 2 weeks prior to start of the final check-out and start-up. Also eventual revisions of the schedule must be informed. The following assistance and services are required during the final check-out and start-up: Contact person at Yard responsible for the Framo Cargo Pumping System. Office with access to phone and fax for our service engineer. Labour assistance for our service engineer when required. Sufficient supply of electric power for running of all the installed power packs simultaneously. Sufficient fuel supply for running of diesel driven hydraulic power packs. Operational cargo lines, ballast lines and valve systems. Fresh water in cargo tanks. Compressed air or nitrogen for purging and stripping of cargo pumps.

Note! The hydraulic piping and associated hydraulic oil tanks must be approved by the commissioning engineer prior to oil filling. Before water is filled into the cargo tanks, the commissioning engineer must inspect and approve the tanks related to cleanliness.

5 TESTING
Testing is to be supervised by Framo commissioning engineer and must be done according to the classification society- and Framo requirements to fulfil the system guarantee. It is very important that sufficient time is given for our engineer in co-operation with Yard personnel to carry out testing, venting and adjustment of the whole system prior to official test or ships sea trial. Please note that all components delivered by Framo are pressure tested before assembly. Hydraulic power units are tested together with the controllers, and all hydraulically driven equipment, cargo pumps, ballast pumps and other pumps are tested and certified by the classification society before delivery. If possible, use fresh water for test of cargo pumps. If seawater has to be used, see below limitations:

Recommended maximum time/temperatures


Sea water temp. deg. C
40 30 20 10 0 0 2468 10 12

- When possible, take fresh sea water in open sea and avoid contaminated harbour water. - Empty the tanks as soon as possible when the testing is finished. - Flush the pump with fresh water.

Exposure time, days

Framo Mounting Instruction COMMISSIONING - TESTING


The following tests are required in order to ensure proper function of the system and to issue a Framo Completion Certificate: - Hydraulic piping to be pressure tested according to the classification society requirement. Pressure piping must be tested with a minimum test pressure of System pressure + 70 bar. A special (and clean) pressure testing pump has to be used. Return piping with a minimum test pressure of 11 bar. The hydraulic oil transfer unit can be used for this test. - Particle- and water test of the hydraulic oil. - Acceptance test of alarms and shut down functions. - Running of Yard equipment connected to the Framo system to ensure that no pressure shocks are transmitted to the system. - Running of cargo pumps, ballast pumps and other pumps. It is recommended to do a stripping test for each cargo pump according to Marpol 73/78 Water test procedure. If additional tests are required, test requirements and procedures have to be evaluated and approved by Framo.
