1.15 service factor, 1170 RPM, 460 volts,3-phase, 60 Hertz. The motor nameplate horsepower rating should exceed the brake horsepower requirements of the specified head and capacity conditions and have a minimum full load efficiency of 59%.

ii. Submersible equipment shall be UL Listed for Class I, Division 1, Groups C and D explosion-proof hazardous locations as defined by the National Electric Code. All electrical parts shall be housed in an air-filled (or oil-filled in 210 frame construction) cast iron, watertight enclosure which is sealed by the use of O-rings and rabbeted joints with extra-large overlaps.

iii. The stator winding and lead shall be insulated with moisture-resistant Class F insulation for continuous duty in 40 degree C ambient. The motor shall be designed for continuous duty capable of ten (1) starts per hour. Automatic reset normally closed thermal overloads shall be imbedded in the motor windings to provide overheating protection. Motor winding thermostats must be connected

Page | 6 to an electric controller per local and state codes and the National Electric Code.

All power and control lead wires are to be double sealed as it enters the motor in such a manner that cable-wicking will not occur. This sealing system shall consist of a rubber grommet followed by epoxy that is high in adhesive qualities and has a low coefficient of expansion. Each cable wire is to have a small section of insulation removed to establish a window area of bare wire and each wire is to be untwisted and surrounded by epoxy potting material. A cable strain relief mechanism shall be an integral part of this sealing system. Cable sealing system shall be capable of withstanding an external pressure test of 1200 PSI as well as a cable assembly pull test as required by Underwriters Laboratories.

vii. Control system unit monitors compatible with existing ACES building management program (BMP)will be installed on each pump unit with associated programing to existing BMP.

viii. The motor cooling jacket (frame 250 and larger) shall be sealed to the motor housing with O-rings. A portion of the liquid being pumped shall be used to cool the motor. The liquid enters the motor cooling jacket internally via a self-cleaning, rotating flow-control disc to prevent solids from entering and accumulating in the mechanical seal area and cooling water jacket. The cooling jacket shall be designed so that on start-up there is a means to purge the air from the jacket as the cooling water enters.

7. Shaft Seal Arrangement

i. Pump(s) shall be provided with two separate tandem-mounted mechanical seals to prevent the pumped liquid from entering the rotor/stator cavity area to ensure reliability of operation. The upper and lower seals are mounted to rotate in the same direction.

The lower seal mating surfaces are to be immersed in the oil bath sealing the pump volute and the oil chamber. Each seal shall be held in contact by its own spring system and require neither maintenance nor adjustment but shall be easily inspected and replaceable. The inner seals shall be installed using a snap ring on the polymeric body and positive locator machined in the ID of polymeric body. Outer seals shall be positively driven via a stainless steel lock collar clamped to the body of the bellows. All O-rings shall be high temperature FKM O-rings. A solid polymeric elastomer bellows shall provide lower seal compression and by design be impervious to stringy material in the pumped fluid.

iii. Seal materials for the upper seal shall be stainless steel and Buna-N components, carbon rotating face and ceramic stationary face lapped to within 3 helium light bands. Lower seal construction shall be stainless steel and Buna-N components

Page | 7 with solid silicon carbide versus tungsten carbide faces. Use of mechanical seals utilizing single or multiple metal springs that may collect stringy material are prohibited.

i. All machined bolts, nuts, and cap screws shall be stainless steel and be of the hex-head type and will not require the use of any special tools.

10. Testing

i. A certified factory performance test shall be performed on each pumping unit in accordance with Hydraulic Institute Standards, latest edition. Tests shall be sufficient to determine the curves of head, input horsepower, and efficiency relative to capacity from shutoff to 150% of design flow. A minimum of six points, including shutoff, shall be taken for each test. At least one point of the six shall be taken as near as possible to each specified condition.
