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 driver (motor turbine engine etc.) and lock
the switching device so that it can not be restarted. Tag the
switching device so that no one will attempt to restart the unit.
b) Close the suction and discharge valves completely to isolate the
pump from the system. Lock the valves in the closed position
and tag them so that no one will attempt to open them.
c) Turn off lock out and tag all sub-systems and auxiliary equip-
ment and auxiliary supply lines to isolate the pumping unit from
any and all power energy and/or fluids.
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.
d) Remove the coupling guard. Remove the spacer section of the
coupling. Remove the two bolts that fasten the bearing housing
foot (9) to the baseplate.
e) Drain all the fluids from all the auxiliary sub-systems (lubrication
cooling heating seal barrier etc.) that are connected to the
pump. Drain each fluid into a separate container. Use caution
required for each fluid after reading the MSDS (Material Safety
Data Sheet) for each.
f) Flush each sub-system with a compatible non-toxic non-haz-
ardous stable liquid. Drain into individual containers for each
fluid. Disconnect and remove all auxiliary piping.
g) Carefully bleed off any pressure remaining in the pump.
Pressure remaining in the pump will be dependent upon the
pressure in the system when the pump was stopped; the quality
type and condition of the isolation valves; the thermal expan-
sion values of the fluid and the pump material; and the change
in the vapor pressure of the fluid between the temperature at the
time the isolation valves were closed and the ambient tempera-
ture. Bleeding must be through a valved drain line piped to a
closed container mounted lower than the pump. The container
must be arranged with a relief passage to some point where
pressure and fumes will not be harmful to personnel. The con-
tainer must also have a level device so that determination can
be made that sufficient fluid has been drained to empty the
pump cavity and the volume of fluid that was contained in the
run of suction and discharge pipe between the isolation valves
and the pump. After the initial rush of fluid from the pump
relieves the pressure the drain valve can be opened further to
speed the draining operation. When fluid quits running into the
drain tank gage the volume to see if it is sufficient to have fully
drained the contents of the pump and the suction and dis-
charge pipes between the isolation valves.
If the system was constructed without any drain connections it
will be necessary to consult the designers of the system for safe
draining procedures.
h) Now drain any small piping that contains the fluid pumped
from all low points into the same container used to drain the
pump. Do not drain any other fluids (different then the
pumpage) into this container as they may not be compatible.
Personal injury death and/or equipment damage could 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
allowin liquid to flow from the system into the pump. Personal
injury, death and/or equipment dama e may occur if reat caution
is not exercised.
i) Because of the above possibility when you loosen the gasketed
joint at the back of the casing (5) loosen the casing nuts (5C)
only one full turn and then use the jack screws in the flange of
the cradle spacer (7) to break the gasket seal. If fluid and/or
pressure remains in the pump it will spray out now. Use
extreme caution wearing protective gear to avoid injury. Do
not proceed with disassembly until leakage ceases completely.
If leakage does not cease the isolation valves may not be seal-
ing. Note that if the pump was purchased without a drain the
pump will contain fluid which will flow out at the time the nuts
are loosened and the gasket seal is broken.
WARNING:
When you open the pump, the fluid will be exposed to the atmos-
phere and personnel in the area. For the safety of all involved, the
risk of exposure can be reduced by flushin the cavity that was just
drained with a compatible, non-toxic, non-hazardous, stable liquid,
before disassemblin the pump.
j) Remove the casing nuts (5C) and using a mechanical lifting
apparatus to support the weight pull the rotating unit from the
casing (5).
k) Flush the wetted parts now exposed with a compatible non-
toxic non-hazardous stable liquid.
l) Remove the gasket from the face of the casing (5) or the casing
back cover (22) dependent on which one the gasket may have
