2.1 Description
The Spirax Sarco CRU 200 and 500 series condensate recovery units with fixed speed pumps are designed
to handle hot flashing condensate entering the receiver (up to 98 °C) which is commonly returned for use
as boiler feedwater.
The standard range can handle quantities up to 20 m3/hr, duty/assist with varying pump delivery heads.
For higher duties please contact Spirax Sarco.
The package comprises - receiver, frame, pumps, valves, level controls and pre-wired control panel.
Note:
1. System head regulation valves are not supplied as part on the unit, but it is recommended they are
incorporated into the discharge pipe work.
2. This unit is not suitable for outdoor use, please consult Spirax Sarco for a bespoke solution.
3. This unit is not designed to accept nozzle loads from connecting pipework.
Equipment function
Spirax Sarco CRU 200 and 500 series condensate recovery units are supplied with two pump sets arranged
to provide duty/assist control. The units are designed for fully automatic operation. Standard control features
incorporate; condensate level pump control, controls enclosure, incoming electrical supply door-interlocked
isolator switch, 'Power On' indicator lamp, 'Pump Running' and 'Pump Tripped' indicator lamps and a pump
selector switch with automatic changeover facility. Volt-free alarm terminals are provided for 'Pump Tripped'
and for 'High Condensate' alarm.
Condensate level pump control is by means of Spirax Sarco Colima Viscorol level indicators and SPDT level
controls which provide on/off duty/assist operation.
The units are controlled by high and low condensate level pump control switches but additionally have the
special duty/assist level control feature to provide for automatic operation of both the 'duty pump' plus the
'assist pump' if that operational requirement arises. If a condition occurs which enables operation of the
assist pump, the corresponding 'Pump Running' lamp will indicate that status, clearing automatically when
the condensate level falls and the pumps stops at 'Low' condensate level.
The units also incorporate duty cycle automatic changeover, the 'duty' and 'stand-by' pump operation
alternating at the end of each condensate collection vessel emptying cycle. Additionally, a 3-position pump
selector switch is incorporated to allow for selection of automatic pump changeover or single pump operation
of either pump, 'Automatic' being the usual mode selected for normal operating conditions.
An independent 'High Condensate' alarm facility (optional) is enabled at a condensate level above that for
the standard high condensate, {pump(s) on} switching levels, the alarm condition and signal being cleared
automatically when the condensate level falls to the normal operating high level. The alarm facility is be
provided with both visual (indicator lamp) and volt-free terminals.
Receiver
Receivers are manufactured from 304 stainless steel. They are fitted with an adequately sized vent, overflow
and inlet connections flanged to PN16. Vessels are leak tested. A water level gauge is fitted as standard,
with integrated level control and high alarm.
Frame
The frames are manufactured from carbon steel powder coated (black) or 304 stainless steel.

Note: Before actioning any installation observe the 'Safety Information' in Section 1.
3.1 General installation
The CRU 200 and 500 series condensate recovery unit is designed for open vented operation only and must
be installed with an unrestricted open vent. The vent should be as short as possible and taken to a safe, high
level location and a vent head may be installed providing no backpressure is induced at the condensate
collection vessel.
The overflow connection should be provided with a Spirax Sarco 'U' water seal at the same size as the vessel
connection and should always be piped away, unrestricted, to a safe drain point or gully. If the drain point
connects to a public sewer system the maximum permissible discharge temperature into the public sewer
system should be considered.
Overflow and vent connections must never be fitted with isolation valves or be capped off.
Before installing and making the final piping connections to and away from the condensate recovery and
pump set, service piping must be fully purged to ensure foreign matter and installation debris has been
removed.
If a potential exists for debris carry over into a condensate vessel, strainers can be considered for installation
into the vessel inlet piping. It is essential that a correctly sized strainer is selected which offers minimal
pressure loss; It is important that the strainer screens are cleaned regularly, ideally within the scope of a
planned maintenance programme.
Do not connect a power supply to a CRU 200 and 500 unit before first checking the voltage, frequency and
electrical supply cable size making sure that the site electrical supply corresponds with the requirements
stated for the control panel.
Check the stated control circuits voltage corresponds with that required on site. Connection of this equipment
to a site electrical installation should only be carried out by qualified and competent personnel and must
comply with current electrical regulations and standards, after commissioning into service the controls
enclosure must be closed and the door isolator switch security locked.
3.2 Thermal insulation and cladding
Spirax Sarco condensate recovery and pumping sets can be thermally insulated and clad to minimise heat
losses and for protection against personal injury, due to contact with hot surfaces, providing the condensate
temperature does not exceed the net positive suction head required (NPSHr) to prevent cavitation and pump
damage (this will be evident during pumping by noise in the pump impeller casing).

3.5 Lifting
The CRU 200 and 500 units should be lifted by a
suitable forklift truck from underneath the frame,
placed in position and securely bolted to the floor.
Warning:
On no account is the CRU to be lifted by any other
part other than the frame (see Figure 3).
Note: Sufficient space should be provided around
the unit location to allow access for maintenance.
3.3 CRU 200 and 500 series wiring
See inside of control panel door for specific wiring diagram.

IM-P681-07 CMGT Issue 2

4.1 Updating the float
Remove the bottom flange from the level gauge and take the float from the plastic bag. Refit the float to the
level gauge and assemble the flange, ensuring the 'O' ring is not damaged before fitting.
4.2 Start-up
After completion of all checks in Section 3 and connecting all piping and electrical services, fully open all
isolating valves and allow the vessel to fill with condensate. If condensate cannot be made available and a
unit has to be immediately commissioned, or functionally tested, the vessel can be pre-charged with clean,
cold water. After testing however, if a unit is not to be left operating in normal service, the mains electrical
supply to the controls enclosure should be switched off and the door interlocked isolator switch security
locked to prevent inappropriate operation of the equipment.
Before turning on the electrical supply, check each pump has been fully flooded with condensate by opening
the air vent on the pump casing. Refer to the pump manufacturer's hand-book for the correct procedure.
To ensure the correct duty point (head imposed against pumping rate) is achieved for optimum operation it
may be necessary to adjust the system head imposed by regulating a valve in the delivery pipework. Correct
setting would reduce the possibility of cavitation and noise.
To start the automated pumping process, turn on the electrical supply and press the “power on reset” button.
This button will then illuminate to indicate the supply is on.
If the power supply fails during operation or is switched off by the operator, and then later the power supply is
restored, the CRU will remain off in a safe mode. This is a safety feature to prevent the unit from automatically
restarting. This will allow the operator to ensure the unit is safe before power is restored. To restart the
CRU ensure the isolator switch is turned on and press the “power on reset” button.
4.3 Duty/assist pump operation
To check the switching of the 'assist' pump and 'High Condensate' alarm function, the 3-position selector
switch will need to be in the 'Automatic' position. Disable the 'duty' pump, by for example, tripping the overload.
The 'duty' pump will fail to operate and the condensate level will rise to the second level switch and should
then operate the 'stand- by' pump. The volt-free terminals will also be enabled to remote signal the condition
if so connected. Both pumps would normally run then together (if the 'duty' pump has not been tripped out)
until the condensate falls to 'Low' level. At 'Low' level both pumps will stop.
To carry out the above duty/assist checking procedure for both pumps, the condensate level must be allowed
to fall to the, 'pumps off' 'Low' level to enable the latching of the automatic pump changeover relay.
To return the set to fully automatic operation with pump automatic changeover, reset trip overloads and select
'Automatic' with the 3-position selector switch.
4. Commissioning

IM-P681-07 CMGT Issue 2 15
Note: Before actioning any maintenance programme observe the 'Safety information' in Section 1.
Before carrying out maintenance and repairs, disconnect the electrical supply allow the fluid contents to
cool to a safe temperature (below 25 °C or 77 °F), and isolate from incoming and outgoing condensate flow
and pressure.
If removing a pump for repair or maintenance and the set is to remain operational, the power must always
be switched off at the mains supply and the cable terminations made safe before returning a set into service
for single pump operation.
If a pump requires repair or servicing, refer to the pump manufacturer's manual. Contact Spirax-Sarco Ltd
to order spare parts.
Periodical inspections of the level indicator and switch assembly are necessary to guarantee optimum
efficiency of the unit. It is recommended that a check of the liquid fluidity is actioned to avoid any suspensions
or deposits that can influence wetted parts. Also check the serviceability of the rollers/indicator. Please refer
to IM-P329-02 for more information regarding the level indicator assembly.
As delivered, there may be residual water remaining in the pump piping and pump casing from the factory
testing procedures. If the equipment is to be held in storage before installation ensure it is protected from
sub-zero temperature conditions to prevent mechanical damage from freezing.
Shutting down the equipment
1. Turn off the electrical supply and security lock the door interlocked isolator switch.
2. Close the pump suction and outlet valves.
3. If the CRU 200 and 500 series is being taken out of service, protect the pumps from frost damage due
to the residual condensate that is left inside the pumps.
4. Drain down the condensate collection vessel and piping to a safe drain point, using the drain nozzle
provided.
5. Drain down pump casing as necessary, to a safe drain point, referring to the pump manual.

Pumps
Mechanical seals
Mechanical seal failure is usually indicated by fluid leakage from that area of the pump assembly. The usual
cause is dry running the pump, lubrication of the seal being dependent upon the fluid being pumped. Multi-
stage pumps have the shaft seal at the top of the casing and are especially vulnerable if the mechanical seal
has not been fully flooded because improper pump casing venting.
Fluid cavitation
Cavitation occurs because of, (a) insufficient pump suction pressure for the liquid (condensate) temperature at
the pump suction port, or, (b) because the condensate flowrate and discharge pressure does not correspond
with the selected duty point on the pump performance curve, or a combination of (a) and (b). Simplistically,
because there is insufficient suction pressure at the condensate temperature, the pressure in the pump casing
can reduce sufficiently for the condensate to partly 'flash' into a vapour and condensate mixture, the total
liquid state of the condensate not being sustainable at the reduced pressure and elevated temperature. The
result is commonly known as cavitation, which if not corrected will damage the pump internals.
Cavitation invariably results in excessive operating noise inside the pump, will ultimately lead to a serious
mechanical failure of the pump and/or impeller(s) and should always be eliminated.
If cavitation occurs, the following should be reviewed.
i. The duty conditions specified for the pump selection and if the correct condensate pumping unit had
been selected for the actual duty conditions.
ii. Whether the actual condensate temperature at the pump suction port is higher than that specified for
the pump selected.
iii. Is the pump discharge pressure requirement less than that specified for the pump selected?
iv. If the condensate temperature is significantly higher than that specified, check the condensate returns
systems for high pressure/temperature condensate discharge from any item of plant and, especially,
for faulty steam traps.
v. If regulating valve sets have been included in the condensate set package, check they have they been
adjusted as recommended above.
vi. Consider installing pump discharge flow/pressure regulating valve sets to control the condensate flow
and discharge pressure at the selected pump duty point.
Pump fails to run or motor fault
i. Check that the main power supply and door interlocked isolator are switched on.
ii. Check condensate is at a sufficient level.
iii. Check that the full load current stated on the motor plate and overload setting are correct - adjust if
necessary.
iv. Check control circuit MCB or transformer fuses if the control circuit is low voltage - reset or replace.
If repeated tripping or fuse failure occurs, the control system must be fully checked by a competent
electrical engineer.
v. Check each level control function - the pump will only run if both the high and the low level switches
function correctly.
vi. Check for electrical wiring fault or short circuit condition.
vii. Check motor windings for integrity and, for phase motors loss.
