1.6Safety

1.6.1 Summary of safety markings

These user instructions contain specific safety markings where non-observance of an instruction would cause hazards. The specific safety markings are:

This symbol indicates electrical safety instructions where non-compliance will involve a high risk to personal safety or the loss of life.

This symbol indicates safety instructions where non-compliance would affect personal safety and could result in loss of life.

This symbol indicates “hazardous substances and toxic fluid” safety instructions where noncompliance would affect personal safety and could result in loss of life.

This symbol indicates safety instructions where non-compliance will involve some risk to safe operation and personal safety and would damage the equipment or property.

This symbol indicates explosive atmosphere marking according to ATEX. It is used in safety instructions where non-compliance in the hazardous area would cause the risk of an explosion.

This symbol indicates is used in safety instructions to remind not to rub non-metallic surfaces with a dry cloth; ensure cloth is damp. It is used where non-compliance in the hazardous area would cause the risk of an explosion.

This sign is not a safety symbol but indicates an important instruction in the assembly process.

1.6.2 Personnel qualification and training

All personnel involved in the operation, installation, inspection and maintenance of the unit must be qualified to carry out the work involved. If the personnel in question do not already possess the necessary knowledge and skill, appropriate training and instruction must be provided. If required the operator may commission the manufacturer / supplier to provide applicable training.

Always co-ordinate repair activity with operations and health and safety personnel, and follow all plant safety requirements and applicable safety and health laws and regulations.

1.6.3Safety action

This is a summary of conditions and actions to prevent injury to personnel and damage to the environment and to equipment. (For products used in potentially explosive atmospheres section 1.6.4 also applies.)

Prevent excessive external pipe load Do not use pump as a support for piping. Do not mount expansion joints, unless authorized by Flowserve in writing, so that their force, due to internal pressure, acts on the pump flange.

Ensure correct lubrication

(See section 5, Commissioning, startup, operation and shutdown.)

Start the pump with outlet valve partly opened (Unless otherwise instructed at a specific point in the user instructions). This is recommended to minimize the risk of overloading at full flow and damaging the pump at zero flow. Pumps may be started with the valve further open only on installations where this situation cannot occur. The pump outlet control valve may need to be adjusted to comply with the duty following the run-up process. (See section 5, Commissioning start-up, operation and shutdown.)

Never run the pump dry.

Inlet valves to be fully open when pump is running. Running the pump at zero flow or below the recommended minimum flow continuously will cause damage to the pump and seals. Low flow rates may cause a reduction in pump/bearing life,

Page 4 of 60

DMX/DMXD/DMXH/DMXDH USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 85392728 - 10/09

overheating of the pump, instability and cavitation/ vibration.

Do not run the pump at abnormally high or low flow rates. Operating at a flow rate higher than normal or at a flow rate with no backpressure on the pump may overload the motor and cause pump cavitation.

Never do maintenance work when the unit is connected to power.

When the pump is handling hazardous liquids care must be taken to avoid exposure to the liquid by appropriate sitting of the pump, limiting personnel access and by operator training. If the liquid is flammable and/or explosive, strict safety procedures must be applied.

HANDLING COMPONENTS

Many precision parts have sharp corners and the wearing of appropriate safety gloves and equipment is required when handling these components. To lift heavy pieces above 25 kg (55 lb) use an appropriate crane for the mass and in accordance with current local regulations.

Coupling guards must not be removed while the pump is operational.

THERMAL SHOCK

Rapid changes in the temperature of the liquid within the pump will cause thermal shock, which can result in damage or breakage of components and should be avoided.

HOT (and cold) PARTS

If hot or freezing components or auxiliary heating supplies can present a danger to operators and persons entering the immediate area action must be taken to avoid accidental contact. If complete protection is not possible, the machine access must be limited to maintenance staff only, with clear visual warnings and indicators to those entering the immediate area. Note: bearing housings must not be insulated and drive motors and bearings may be hot.

If the temperature is greater than 68 °C (154°F) or below -5 °C (20 °F) in a restricted zone, or exceeds local regulations, action as above shall be taken.

1.6.4Products used in potentially explosive atmospheres

Measures are required to:

Avoid excessive temperature

Prevent the build up of explosive mixtures

Prevent the generation of sparks

Prevent leakages

Maintain the pump to avoid hazard

The following instructions for pumps and pump units when installed in potentially explosive atmospheres must be followed to help ensure explosion protection. Both electrical and non-electrical equipment must meet the requirements of European Directive 94/9/EC.

1.6.4.1Scope of compliance

Use equipment only in the zone for which it is appropriate. Always check that the driver, drive coupling assembly, seal and pump equipment are suitably rated and/or certified for the classification of the specific atmosphere in which they are to be installed.

Where Flowserve has supplied only the bare shaft pump, the Ex rating applies only to the pump. The party responsible for assembling the ATEX pump set shall select the coupling, driver and any additional equipment, with the necessary CE Certificate/ Declaration of Conformity establishing it is suitable for the area in which it is to be installed.

The output from a variable frequency drive (VFD) can cause additional heating effects in the motor and so, for pumps sets with a VFD, the ATEX Certification for the motor must state that it is covers the situation where electrical supply is from the VFD. This particular requirement still applies even if the VFD is in a safe area.

1.6.4.2Marking

An example of ATEX equipment marking is shown below. The actual classification of the pump will be engraved on the nameplate.

ENSURE THE EQUIPMENT TEMPERATURE CLASS IS SUITABLE FOR THE HAZARD ZONE

Pumps have a temperature class as stated in the ATEX Ex rating on the nameplate. These are based on a maximum ambient temperature of 40 °C

(104 °F); refer to Flowserve for higher ambient temperatures.

The temperature of the liquid handled influences the surface temperature on the pump. The maximum permissible liquid temperature depends on the ATEX temperature class and must not exceed the values in the table that follows.

The temperature rise at the seals and bearings and due to the minimum permitted flow rate is taken into account in the temperatures stated.

*The table only takes the ATEX temperature class into consideration. Pump design or material as well as component design or material may further limit the maximum working temperature of the liquid.

The responsibility for compliance with the specified maximum liquid temperature is with the plant operator.

If an explosive atmosphere exists during the installation, do not attempt to check the direction of rotation by starting the pump unfilled. Even a short run time may give a high temperature resulting from contact between rotating and stationary components. Where there is any risk of the pump being run against a closed valve generating high liquid and casing external surface temperatures, the users shall fit an external surface temperature protection device.

Avoid mechanical, hydraulic or electrical overload by using motor overload trips, temperature monitor or a power monitor and make routine vibration monitoring checks.

In dirty or dusty environments, regular checks shall be made and dirt removed from areas around close clearances, bearing housings and motors.

1.6.4.4Preventing the build up of explosive mixtures

ENSURE THE PUMP IS PROPERLY FILLED AND VENTED AND DOES NOT RUN DRY

Ensure the pump and relevant suction and discharge pipeline system is totally filled with liquid at all times during the pump operation, so that an explosive atmosphere is prevented. In addition it is essential to make sure that seal chambers, auxiliary shaft seal systems and any heating and cooling systems are properly filled. If the operation of the system cannot avoid this condition, users shall fit an appropriate dry run protection device (e.g. liquid detection or a power monitor).

To avoid potential hazards from fugitive emissions of vapor or gas to atmosphere the surrounding area shall be well ventilated.

1.6.4.5Preventing sparks

To prevent a potential hazard from mechanical contact, the coupling guard must be non-sparking and anti-static for Category 2.

To avoid the potential hazard from random induced current generating a spark, the baseplate shall be properly grounded.

Avoid electrostatic charge: do not rub non-metallic

Page 6 of 60

DMX/DMXD/DMXH/DMXDH USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 85392728 - 10/09

surfaces with a dry cloth; ensure cloth is damp.

The coupling must be selected to comply with 94/9/EC and correct alignment must be maintained.

1.6.4.6Preventing leakage

The pump shall only be used to handle liquids for which it has been approved to have the correct corrosion resistance.

Avoid entrapment of liquid in the pump and associated piping due to closing of suction and discharge valves, which could cause dangerous excessive pressures to occur if there is heat input to the liquid. This can occur if the pump is stationary or running.

Bursting of liquid containing parts due to freezing must be avoided by draining or protecting the pump and ancillary systems.

Where there is the potential hazard of a loss of a seal barrier fluid or external flush, the fluid shall be monitored.

If leakage of liquid to atmosphere can result in a hazard, then a liquid detection device shall be installed.

1.6.4.7Maintenance to avoid the hazard

CORRECT MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED TO AVOID POTENTIAL HAZARDS WHICH GIVE A RISK OF EXPLOSION

The responsibility for compliance with maintenance instructions is with the plant owner or operator.

To avoid potential explosion hazards during maintenance, the tools, cleaning and painting materials used must not give rise to sparking or adversely affect the ambient conditions. Where there is a risk from such tools or materials, maintenance must be conducted in a safe area.

A maintenance plan and schedule shall be adopted. (See section 6, Maintenance).

1.8Specific machine performance

For performance parameters see 10.4 Customer Data Sheet. When the contract requirement specifies these to be incorporated into User Instructions these are included here. Where performance data has been supplied separately to the purchaser these should be obtained and retained with these User Instructions if required.

1.9Noise level

Attention must be given to the exposure of personnel to the noise, and local legislation will define when guidance to personnel on noise limitation is required, and when noise exposure reduction is mandatory. This is typically 80 to 85 dBA.

The usual approach is to control the exposure time to the noise or to enclose the machine to reduce emitted sound. You may have already specified a limiting noise level when the equipment was ordered, however if no noise requirements were defined, then attention is drawn to the following table to give an indication of equipment noise level so that you can take the appropriate action in your plant.

Pump noise level is dependent on a number of operational factors, flow rate, pipework design and acoustic characteristics of the building, and so the values given are subject to a 3 dBA tolerance and cannot be guaranteed.

1.9.1Pump noise levels

The following tables may be used to determine the estimated sound pressure levels (SPL), expressed in dBA (dB), for DMX/DMXD/DMXH/DMXDH pumps.

The values shown have been derived from actual noise test data and are based on the following conditions:

a)Equipment is located in a free field above a reflecting plane in which the reduction in noise level in all directions is 6 dB in each octave band for each doubling of distance.

b)Background noise is 10 dB (minimum) below all noise levels in each octave band.

c)The values shown are at a distance of 1 m (3.281 ft), horizontally from major pump surfaces and 1.5 m (4.78 ft) above the floor using the

standard pressure reference of 20 µPa (0.00002 N/m2).

d)Overall noise level, dBA ("A" scale) is determined at points of maximum noise level, and the values of all mid-band frequencies are basis "C" scale readings.

1.9.2Overall noise level

Tables below show dBA levels for two stage and three or more stage pumps, based on the best efficiency point BEP at design RPM and required impeller diameter.

For specific gravities less than 1.0, use 1.0 specific gravity. For specific gravities above 1.0, use the actual specific gravity.

When the required condition flow falls outside the range of 75% to 125% of BEP, a Part Load Correction (PLC) must be added to the noise levels as follows:

During extended periods of storage prior to installation and from the time of installation until commercial operation, precautions must be taken to protect the pump from deterioration. The various parts of the pump are protected prior to shipment by applying varying grades of preservative and paint. However, during shipment and handling, the preservatives are subjected to conditions that can cause their removal. Also, during extended periods of time, the preservatives may deteriorate. The following procedures should be followed to prevent deterioration of the pump during the extended storage period. These procedures may also be supplemented by the experience of the person(s) performing the tasks.

It should be noted, that unless otherwise agreed to, full responsibility and costs associated with the storage and inspection of this equipment rests with the customer.

Page 11 of 60

DMX/DMXD/DMXH/DMXDH USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 85392728 - 10/09

If pump is equipped with a mechanical seal and is stored or has not been run for 1 year or more, the mechanical seal must be removed before start-up and faces re-lapped to guard against the possibility of seal leakage. When reinstalling the seal, new “O” rings and gaskets must be used.

2.4.1Pump inspection upon arrival

When the pump is received, it should be inspected for damage or other signs of rough handling. Any damage if found should be reported to the carrier immediately.

Inspect the preservative coating on the various parts. If necessary, renew the preservative in areas where it has rubbed off or scraped.

Inspect all painted surfaces. If necessary, touch up the areas where paint has been chipped or scraped.

Inspect all covers over pump openings and piping connections. If covers or seals for the covers are damaged or loose, they are to be removed, and a visual inspection made of the accessible interior areas for accumulation of foreign materials or water. If necessary, clean and re-coat the interior parts with preservative to restore the parts to the “as shipped” condition. Install or replace covers and fasten secure.

2.4.2Storage area

When selecting a storage area, the following should be taken into consideration:

a)The deterioration of the equipment will be proportionate to the class/type of storage provided.

b)The expenses involved in restoring the equipment at time of operation will be proportionate to the class/type of storage provided.

2.4.3Storage preferred (dry)

If at all possible, the pump and its components should be stored indoors where they will be protected from the elements. If it is not possible to store the pump and its components indoors, precautions must be taken to protect them from the elements. Regardless of whether storage is inside or outside, the storage area should be vibration-free. All boxes that are marked for inside storage must be stored indoors. Coverings of heavy gauge plastic sheets, canvas, waterproof burlap or other suitable coverings should protect the pump and its components from

dirt, dust, rain, snow or other unfavorable conditions when stored outdoors.

All equipment must be placed upon skids or blocks to prevent contact with the ground and surface contaminants. Equipment must be adequately supported to prevent distortion and bending.

2.4.3.1Rotor storage

It is recommended that pump rotor be removed from pump and stored vertically. Rotors may also be stored horizontally in the pump. Rotors that have to be stored horizontally outside the pump must be supported close to impeller to eliminate sag that may cause rotor to take a permanent set.

2.4.3.2Customer inspection

The stored equipment is to be placed on a periodic inspection schedule by the customer.

The responsibility for setting up an inspection and maintenance schedule rests with the customer and will be dependent upon the class/type of storage provided. It will be expected that initially inspection would occur weekly, then depending upon the inspection reports being favorable or unfavorable, inspection would continue weekly, monthly, or quarterly, as may be determined. Inspection reports must be kept on file.

Every inspection should consist of a general surface inspection.

a)Pump supports are firmly in place.

b)Pump covers over openings are firmly in place.

c)Pump coverings, plastics or tarps, are firmly in place. Any holes or tears must be repaired to prevent entrance of dirt or water.

d)Pump covers are periodically removed from openings and interior accessible areas inspected. If surface rusting has occurred, clean and repaint or re-coat with preservative.

e)If rusting occurs on exterior surfaces, clean and repaint or re-coat with preservative.

f)Loosen casing drain plugs to allow seepage of any accumulated moisture.

g)If the rotor is stored horizontally, rotate pump rotor 1-1/4 revolutions at least once a month to prevent rotor from taking a permanent set.

DMX/DMXD/DMXH/DMXDH USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 85392728 - 10/09

Make sure bearings have adequate lubrication before turning rotor.

The oil inlet blanking plates should be removed and a small amount of oil injected into the bearings before turning. Refit blanking plates.

h)Periodically remove bearing covers and inspect for accumulation of moisture, rust and foreign material. As required, clean bearings and bearing housing and re-preserve. Install bearing cover and secure to assure maximum protection. Bearings removed for storage should be coated with preservative, wrapped in oil/wax paper, and stored in a warm dry area.

i)Check individually wrapped parts for signs of deterioration. If necessary, renew preservative and wrapping.

If storage is over one month, Instrumentation (Controls, Electrical devices, Temperature switches) should be removed and placed in a climate control environment if Instrumentation is not powered up.

2.4.3.3Prior to installation maintenance

Six months prior to the scheduled installation date, a Flowserve representative is to be employed to conduct an inspection. All costs involved during inspection, dismantling, restoration, replacement of parts, and reassembly will be the responsibility of the customer. The customer will supply all necessary labor, tools, and cranes. This inspection will include (not necessarily in its entirety) but not be limited to the following:

a)An inspection of all periodic inspection records as kept on file by the customer, and all inspection reports that have been compiled during the storage period.

b)An inspection of the storage area to determine the “as stored” condition of the equipment prior to any protection being removed.

c)An inspection of the equipment with protection covers and flange covers removed.

d)Depending upon the length of time the equipment was stored, the class/type of storage provided, (i.e.: indoor, heated, unheated, ground floor, concrete floor, out-of-doors, under roof, no roof,

waterproof coverings, on concrete, on ground) and as a result of the inspection of a, b and c above, Flowserve representative may require a partial or complete dismantling of the equipment.

e)Dismantling may necessitate restoration of painted or preserved surfaces, and/or replacement of gaskets, “O” rings and mechanical seal and bearings. Use only Flowserve recommended replacement materials.

Upon completion of the inspection, the Flowserve representative shall submit a report to the Customer, and to the Manager of Customer Service, stating in detail the result of the inspection.

If there are any discrepancies identified, it is the customer's responsibility for correction before initial startup.

2.4.4Storage non-preferred (wet)

It is not recommended that the rotor be subjected to extended periods of submergence or wetting prior to start-up. However, it is recognized that in some cases, a long period of time may lapse from installation until commercial operation.

If the pump must be stored after being installed and wetted, the following inspection and maintenance should be performed.

Isolate the pump with valving - tag (seal) all valves.

Preserve the pump internals.

If storage is over one month, Instrumentation (Controls, Electrical devices, Temperature switches) should be removed and placed in a climate controlled environment if Instrumentation is not powered up.

Electric motors (pump driver) should not be stored in damp places without special protection (refer to motor manufacturer’s instructions).

2.4.4.1Corrosive pumpage.

Fill entirely the pump with an approved preservative such as #2004-Chempagard 9 from Chempak. The pump should be filled to highest level possible, affording the greatest protection possible to all internal parts of the pump.

Page 13 of 60

DMX/DMXD/DMXH/DMXDH USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 85392728 - 10/09

This solution, when drained, will result in a thin residual oil film (less than 0.0127 mm (0.0005 in.)) on all internals after the water has evaporated. This residue provides added corrosion protection until pump is again filled with liquid or put into service.

Pump cannot be fully drained. Volutes in the lower half cannot be drained below the bottom of the main casing bore.

2.4.4.2Non-corrosive pumpage.

Fill pump with pumpage to the highest level possible. Open periodically drain connection to drain off any moisture that may have accumulated. Refill to highest level possible. Drain and inspect pump prior to startup.

a)Rotate pump rotor 1-1/4 revolutions at least once a month.

Make sure bearings have adequate lubrication before turning rotor.

b)Periodically remove bearing covers and inspect for accumulation of moisture, rust and foreign material. As required, clean bearings and bearing housing and re-preserve. Install bearing cover and secure to assure maximum protection.

2.4.4.3Painting and preservation

Paints and preservatives used are either Flowserve standard or special as required by the contract specification. Refer to 2.1.3, Paint/Rust Preventive for the description of paints and preservatives used in this order or contact the branch office through which the order was placed.

2.5Recycling and end of product life

At the end of the service life of the product or its parts, the relevant materials and parts should be recycled or disposed of using an environmentally acceptable method and local regulations. If the product contains substances which are harmful to the environment, these should be removed and disposed of in accordance with current regulations.

3 PUMP DESCRIPTION

The “DMX” is a multistage single or double suction, opposed impeller, horizontally split volute pump.

The suction and discharge nozzles are cast integral with the lower half casing. Rotating parts are accessible by removing the upper half casing, which can be removed without breaking suction and discharge piping.

3.1Configurations

The DMX can have the following configurations:

3.1.1Single suction

Single suction configuration

Single suction impeller at first stage (DMX)

3.1.2Double suction

Double suction configuration

Double suction impeller at the first stage (DMXD)

DMX= Single suction standard pressure DMXD = Double suction standard pressure DMXH = Single suction high pressure DMXDH = Double suction high pressure

3.3Design of major parts

3.3.1Casing

The casing provides for immediate containment of the liquid being pumped, while directing the flow of liquid from the suction nozzle to the impellers and subsequently through the volute to the discharge nozzle.

The casing halves are sealed by the use of a gasket and are joined together by studs, which are installed in the lower half casing and fastened with washers and cap-nuts.

3.3.2Impellers

The series’ impellers are single suction, enclosed type, and one-piece construction and are dynamically balanced. They are fitted with renewable impeller rings (front and back), which are held in place by headless set-screws.

The impellers are keyed and have a shrink fit to the pump shaft. They are held in axial position by a split ring.

3.3.3Casing rings

Casing rings are positioned over the impeller front rings. These rings are tubular and renewable.

3.3.4Channel rings

Renewable cast channel rings are positioned over the impeller back rings. They divide the casing into stages. These rings are horizontally split and are held together by shoulder screws or dowel pins.

3.2Name nomenclature

The pump nomenclature is:

3X10DMX10

The 3 is the pump discharge size

The X is the separator

The 10 is the nominal impeller size

The DMX is pump type

The 10 is the number of stages and depending on pump size, they go from 2 to 14 stages

3.3.5Center sleeve

A renewable type center sleeve is used under the center bushing. The center sleeve is tubular and keyed to the shaft (via the impeller key).

3.3.6Center bushing

The renewable center bushing is horizontally split, and the two halves are held together by socket head cap screws and taper dowel pins. It is held in position by the raised annular ring of the bushing engaging the annular groove in the casing. The center bushing, in conjunction with center sleeve, divides the casing at the center (back to back) impellers.

DMX/DMXD/DMXH/DMXDH USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 85392728 - 10/09

3.3.7Throttling sleeve

Renewable type throttling sleeve is used under the throttling bushing. The throttling sleeve is tubular, keyed, has a shrink fit to the shaft, and is held in position by a split ring.

3.3.8Throttling bushing

Renewable type throttling bushing is used. It is held in position by the raised annular ring of the bushing engaging the annular groove in the casing. The throttling bushing, in conjunction with the throttling sleeve, allows pressure to be bled off through the balance line, so that pressure on the Seal Chambers is balanced. The throttling bushing also balances the axial thrust of the pump rotor.

3.3.9Crossover sleeve

A renewable type crossover sleeve under crossover bushing is only used on double suction pumps (DMXD/DMXDH). The crossover sleeve is tubular, keyed, has a shrink fit to the shaft, and is held in position by a split ring.

3.3.10 Crossover bushing

A renewable type crossover bushing is only used on double suction pumps (DMXD/DMXDH). The crossover bushing is horizontally split, and the two halves are held together by taper dowel pins. It is held in position by the raised annular ring of the bushing engaging the annular groove in the casing. The crossover bushing, in conjunction with crossover sleeve, controls the leakage between the first and second stage impellers.

3.3.11 Shaft

The high strength shaft is ground over its entire length to close tolerances. The shaft is designed to transmit the required power without vibration and is stepped at each impeller fit for ease of assembly and disassembly.

3.3.12 Bearings

The sleeve bearings are carbon steel backed, babbitt lined, sleeve type insert bearings. The renewable bearing inserts are mounted in bearing housings kept from rotating by means of stop pins.

Each bearing is lubricated by an external pressure supply system.

The thrust bearing is of the titling type with pads on each side of the shaft mounted thrust

collar. It is capable of transmitting the thrust load in either direction. It is lubricated from the

pressure lubrication system.

3.3.13 Seal Chambers

The Seal Chambers are cast integral with the casing. Your pump is typically shipped with the mechanical seal already installed.

The mechanical seal is designed to suit each application. This creates the correct seal loading face when seal gland is bolted in place.

Cartridge type mechanical seals are preset at the seal manufacturer’s facility and require no field settings. The seal installation should be checked before startup.

Refer to the mechanical seal manufacturers drawing and instructions found in section 8 of this manual for detailed information.

3.4Performance and operating limits

Refer to section 10.4 Customer Data Sheet.
