WARNING:
Work must be performed only by thorou hly trained and qualified
personnel to assure quality repair and to reduce the possibilities of
injury to personnel and/or dama e to equipment. If you do not
have personnel who are capable of safe quality repair of this equip-
ment, we advise you to return the equipment to DEAN PUMP to be
repaired.
When it is necessary to open the pump and/or the pumpin system
the fluid will be exposed to the atmosphere and personnel in the
area. For the safety of all involved, the risk of exposure of personnel
to the hazards of the pumpa e can be reduced by flushin the entire
system with a compatible, nontoxic, non-hazardous, stable Liquid
before openin the pump or the system. In all cases, where the sys-
tem is flushed or not, use the utmost care around the pumpa e and
the, pumpin system.
Always wear the appropriate protective apparel when workin on
or around the pumpin equipment. Safety lasses with side shields,
heavy work loves (use insulated work loves when handlin hot
items), steel-toed shoes, hard hat, and any other protective ear as
needed for protection. One example of other ear would be breath-
in apparatus when workin near toxic materials.
Use only top quality tools.
a) Stop the pump. Turn off the power supply (electricity, steam,
etc.) to the pump river (motor, turbine, engine, etc.) an lock
the switching evice so that it can not be restarte . Tag the
switching evice so that no one will attempt to restart the unit.
b) Close the suction an ischarge valves completely to isolate the
pump from the system. Lock the valves in the close position
an tag them so that no one will attempt to open them.
c) Turn off, lock out, an tag all sub-systems an auxiliary equip-
ment an auxiliary supply lines to isolate the pumping unit from
any an all power, energy, an /or flui s.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to perform any work on the unit until you are confi-
dent that the pump and its contents have been stabilized at ambient
temperature, and atmospheric pressure.
Put on protective wear to protect human tissue from attack by the
fluids contained in the pump and any sub-systems, and from any
vapors or fumes that could possibly be released from these fluids.
This could mean breathin apparatus face shields, heavy lon sleeve
rubber loves, rubber apron, hood, and possibly more, dependent,
of course, on the properties of the fluids involved and the installed
drain and vent pipin arran ement. Personal injury and/or death
can occur if adequate precautions are not taken with re ard to the
fluid, the installation and the possibilities of the release of fluid,
vapors, and/or fumes.
) Remove the coupling, guar (s).
e) If the pump an river are in epen ently mounte to a com-
mon baseplate (not connecte to each other with a motor sup-
port (83)), remove the spacer section of the coupling. Remove
the two bolts that fasten the bearing housing foot (9) to the
baseplate. Go to step (j).
f) If the pump an river (motor or turbine) are connecte togeth-
er by a “C” face motor support (83), isconnect the power
supply from the river. Place woo block an we ges, un er
the rear feet of motor sizes 143TC through 215TC, or un er
the motor support (83) of motors sizes 254TC through 365TC.
These blocks are to be positione so as to support the weight of
the motor an the motor support (83) when they are separate
from the pump. Hook a lifting hoist to the lifting eye(s) of the
motor an take the slack out of the cable or chain. Make sure
that all of the components of the lifting apparatus are capable
of lifting the weight.
g) For units with motor sizes 143TC trough 215TC, remove the
two bolts that fasten the motor support (83) to the baseplate.
For units with motor sizes 254TC through 365C, remove the
two bolts that fasten the rear feet of the motor to the baseplate.
h) Remove the four bolts that fasten the motor support (83) to the
back of the pump. Be careful to support the weight of the motor
an motor support (83) as you are removing these bolts.
Carefully move the motor an motor support (83) assembly hor-
izontally an axially away from the pump, gui ing the assem-
bly to clear the pump coupling hub.
i) Remove the coupling elastomer from the coupling hub. The elas-
tomer may be in either the pump hub or the motor hub.
j) Drain all the flui s from all the auxiliary sub-systems (lubrication,
cooling, heating, seal barrier, etc.) that are connecte to the
pump. Drain each flui into a separate container. Use caution
require for each flui after rea ing the MSDS (Material Safety
Data Sheet) for each.
k) Flush each sub-system with a compatible, non-toxic, non-haz-
ar ous, stable liqui . Drain into in ivi ual containers for each
flui . Disconnect an remove all auxiliary piping.
l) Carefully blee off any pressure remaining in the pump.
Pressure remaining in the pump will be epen ent upon the
pressure in the system when the pump was stoppe ; the quality,
type, an con ition of the isolation valves; the thermal expan-
sion values of the flui an the pump material; an the change
in the vapor pressure of the flui between the temperature at the
time the isolation valves were close an the ambient tempera-
ture. Blee ing must be through a valve rain line pipe to a
close container mounte lower than the pump. The container
must be arrange with a relief passage to some point where
pressure an fumes will not be harmful to personnel. The con-
tainer must also have a level evice so that etermination can
be ma e that sufficient flui has been raine to empty the
pump cavity an the volume of flui that was containe in the
run of suction an ischarge pipe between the isolation valves
an the pump. After the initial rush of flui from the pump
relieves the pressure, the rain valve can be opene further to
spee the raining operation. When flui quits running into the
rain tank, gage the volume to see if it is sufficient to have fully
raine the contents of the pump an the suction an is-
charge pipes between the isolation valves.
If the system was constructe without any rain connections, it
will be necessary to consult the esigners of the system for safe
raining proce ures.
m) Now rain any small piping, that contains the flui pumpe ,
from all low points into the same container use to rain the
pump. Do not rain any other flui s ( ifferent then the
pumpage) into this container as they may not be compatible.
Personal injury, eath, an /or equipment amage coul occur.
WARNING:
Even thou h it mi ht appear that the cavity bein drained has com-
pletely drained, be extremely careful about openin the system
and/or openin the pump. If somethin solid in the pumpa e moves
to the vicinity of the drain connection, it could seal-off the drain and
maintain pressure in the cavity thou ht to have been drained. It is
also possible that the isolation valves are not sealin and therefore
