Since the effective maximum surface temperature does not depend on the according ignition source, but on
the temperature of the pumped liquid, no identification ensues with a temperature class or a temperature.
The symbol "X" has been integrated in the identification and the chapter 5.2 of this manual refers to the
arising surface temperatures.
The Ex-identification on the pump refers to the pump part only. The driver is subject to a separate
consideration.
2.5 SAFETY
2.5.1 Symbol- and Notice Explanation

2.5.1.1 Work Safety Symbol
This symbol will be found in this manual at all remarks for operational safety, where
risks for health and life of personnel may be posed.
Please observe these points and be cautious in these cases. All cautions should
also be passed on to other users. Apart from the cautions in this manual, the
generally accepted safety rules must be adhered to.
2.5.1.2 Attention Notice
To the items marked with ATTENTION in this manual, special attention must be paid
Attention ! in order to maintain a correct operating procedure and to avoid damage and
destruction of the machines and/or other plant equipment.
2.5.2 Work Safety Instructions

2.5.2.1 Special Notice when handling magnetic parts
All magnetic driven pumps contain extremely strong magnets which may pose health risks. The following
guidelines must always be observed.
2.5.2.2 Notice to risks of health and accidents
When handling magnetic parts, danger from magnet fields is possible. Individuals with
artificial cardiac pacemakers should keep distance from pumps with permanent-
magnetic couplings and not perform any maintenance or other repairs on such
machines.
Individuals with implanted defibrillators, metallic prosthetic heart valves, internal wound
clips (from surgery), prosthetic joints, metallic wiring, or other metallic prosthetic devices
shall avoid working with, being in proximity of, or handling the magnets contained in the
pumps.
Individuals with sickle cell anemia or those with significant blood pressure elevation
shall also avoid work on this unit. Individuals who have had previous surgeries (chest or
head) and who do not know if they have metallic clips internally, should avoid work on
this unit unless it can be firmly established by the physician that no metallic devices
exist.
The strong magnetic forces can cause parts and tools to slam together, injuring hands
and fingers. Use of non-magnetic tools and special care is recommended.
2.5.2.3 General Notices
Credit Cards:
Credit Cards or information on the credit card´s magnetic tape can be erased and shall be kept away
from the proximity of all magnets.
Computers, computer tapes, computer discs:
Keep magnets away from computers, computer tapes and computer discs or any computer memory
device to prevent damage.
When handling magnets all watches should be removed. Magnets have affected the workings of
mechanical spring driven watches as well as chip and electronically controlled watches.
2.5.2.4 General Instructions for pump´s operation
The sealless pumps of type PRM are manufactured in accordance with state of the Art-Technology and are
safe to operate. However, these units bear danger if they are inexpertly installed or handled.
Each person who is in charge of assembly, installation, operating and maintenance of PRM-pumps in a
plant, must have read and understood the complete manual and particularly item 2.5 „Safety“.
Special attention must be paid to the following points when operating the pump:
Never operate pump without correctly installed coupling guard.
Never use heat for pump disassembly.
When maintaining the pump, power supply to the driver must be interrupted and
secured against unauthorized restart.
Never disassemble pump before completely drained and cleaned from pumped liquid.
Never start pump without making sure it is primed and the suction line is completely
Attention !
filled with liquid, so that no explosive atmosphere may exist and dry running will be
avoided.
Never run pump with discharge valve closed or below minimum flow, because after a
short time already, the surface temperatures at the pump casing increase remarkably
through the quick heating up of the liquid inside the pump.
Never run pump dry.
Never operate pump without safety devices installed.
Never operate pump with suction valve closed or with clogged suction strainer, because
after a short time already, the surface temperatures at the pump casing increase
remarkably through the quick heating up of the liquid inside the pump.
If it cannot be excluded that larger solids (>0,5 mm) will be contained in the pumped
liquid, a filter must be provided on suction side.
Suction strainers must have a net „free area“ of at least six to seven times the suction
pipe area. Screen with a mesh width of 480 micron is recommended. Pressure losses at
rated capacity should not exceed 1 to 1,5 m (3 to 5 ft). There should be a minimum of
two pipe diameters of straight pipe between strainer outlet and pump suction flange.
When operating the pump, the values stipulated in the pump data sheet, concerning
pumped liquid, capacity, speed, density, pressure and temperature, as well as motor
power and other instructions given in the documentation of the contract, may not be
exceeded. Contact the factory if required.
3. PUMP DESCRIPTION
3.1 APPLICATION / DEFINED USE

DICKOW-PRM-pumps are used where ever sealless design is required (i.e. when pumping dangerous,
explosive or toxic liquids). Wear resistant sleeve bearings as well as the sealless design increase availability
and reduce both maintenance and total costs of ownership. PRM-pumps are suitable for a temperature
range of -50 to max. 240°C (-58 to 390°F).
For the defined use of the pump it is absolutely necessary that the pump is constantly filled with liquid so that
no explosive atmosphere may exist and dry running will be avoided. The maximum speed is determined with
2900 rpm (+ 10%) at 50 cycles and with 3500 rpm(+ 10%) at 60 cycles.
3.2 CONSTRUCTION
The DICKOW-Process Pumps acc. to API 685 are sealless single flow centrifugal pumps of back-pull-out
design with closed impellers, driven by synchronous magnetic couplings.
Disassembly of the rotating hydraulic part, complete with magnetic coupling and bearing, is possible without
loosening suction and discharge flange. The bearing bracket with the drive magnets can also be removed
without stress-relieving the pump. This enables changing of the ball bearings without draining the pump.
3.2.1 Volute casing, part 102

The volute casing is sealed on drive side by the bearing housing. The bearing housing is screwed to the
volute casing by studs. The pumped liquid is sealed from the atmosphere by a confined profile seal ring of
metal-to-metal fit. Replaceable impeller- and casing-wear rings are available in the standard configuration.
The volute casing is provided with centerline claws for mounting on the baseplate.
3.2.2 Impeller, part 233

All impellers are balanced according to DIN ISO 1940 / part 1, grade G 1,0. The impellers are also
hydraulically balanced such that no thrust loads will occur within the performance range.
3.2.3 Bearing housing, part 350 – internal circulation

The bearing housing connects the pump casing with the drive unit. The stationary wetted sleeve bearings
are located in a common bore in the bearing housing hub.
The magnet area at standard configuration is self-venting through the internal circulation holes which enable
also complete drainage thru the volute casing.
3.2.4 Bearing bracket, outer antifriction bearings

The drive shaft is carried in generously dimensioned oil lubricated antifriction bearings. The bearings are
protected against the atmosphere by a magnetic activated double seal. The oil level is controlled by constant
level oiler with additional sight glass.
3.2.5 Secondary containment

The secondary seal on pump side separates the magnet area from the oil bath and atmosphere, and forms -
together with the closed bearing bracket - a secondary containment behind the containment shell.
The mechanical seal prevents uncontrolled product leakage to the atmosphere in case of containment shell
damage. Connections for additional monitoring devices - for a continuous control of containment shell
leakage - are provided between containment shell and secondary containment. The secondary seal complies
with the maximum expected operating pressure.
3.2.6 Sleeve bearings

The pump shaft, with impeller and driven inner magnets, is held in place by wetted sleeve bearings. Bearing
material is highly wear resistant pure Silicon Carbide. The stationary sleeve bearings and the shaft sleeve
are dimensioned such that the radial loads can be accepted. Due to the hydraulic balance, no thrust loads
occur and therefore, the thrust bearings have the function only of start-up rings during operation.
The SiC-parts have an unlimited lifetime as long as a stable liquid film is provided between the bearing
faces. That means, as long as the boiling point is not exceeded in the containment shell area and cavitation
of the pump is avoided.
3.2.7 Magnet Coupling

DICKOW-Standard magnet material is Cobalt Samarium – Rare Earth (CoSm) providing a high energy
density. The required power is transmitted to the impeller without shaft duct to the atmosphere, respectively
without mechanical connection between pump shaft and drive shaft.
Energy is transmitted to the hermetically sealed liquid end by the outer drive magnets, passing motive force
through the containment shell to the internal drive magnets. The inner magnet ring transmits the required
torque direct to the impeller. Overload of the magnetic coupling and slipping will not effect demagnetization if
a reliable monitoring device prevents overheating of the magnets. After shut down of the pump and
elimination of the overload cause, the magnetic coupling gets its original capacity again.
Rotor and rotor cover are welded together such that the inner magnet elements are sealed against the
pumped liquid.
The outer rotor is protected from flaking during assembly and disassembly by a sheath tube.
3.2.8 Containment shell, part 817

The containment shell is bolted to the bearing housing and sealed from the atmosphere by a profile seal ring
of metal-to-metal fit. That means, the wetted area is hermetically sealed from the drive end or from the
atmosphere. The containment shell is stressed by the internal pressure only, the required wall thickness
depends on this pressure and on the operating temperature. The shell is not used as an additional bearing
holder and thus, no dynamic stress occurs.
Damage of the containment shell through incorrect operation or insufficient monitoring can
cause penetration of the product to the atmosphere. When handling dangerous products,
appropriate safety- and monitoring devices must be provided.
4. INSTALLATION
Attention ! Installation, foundation and maintenance of pumps handling inflammable, highly
inflammable liquids and other pollutive products may only be performed by companies or
their personnel who possess the permission acc. to the local state regulations regarding the
water protection law.
4.1 RECEIVING THE PUMP

Inspect the pump as soon as it is received. Make notes of damaged or missing items on the receipt and
freight bill. File any claims with the transportation company immediately. Check for identical speed on pump
and motor name tag.
4.2 STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
Short Term - less than six months

DICKOW normal packaging procedure is designed to protect the pump during shipping. Upon receipt store in
a covered and dry location.
Long Term - more than six months

Preservative treatment of machined surfaces will be required for pumps of material GGG40.3 or GS-C25.
Store the pump in a sheltered dry place. Rotate shaft several times by hand every three months by removing
the coupling guard. If required, disassemble and inspect prior to final installation. Refer also to driver
manuals for their long term storage.
4.3 ALIGNMENT OF BASEFRAME

Pre-condition for a proper and troublefree operation of the pump is the accurate assembly of the entire unit.
Improper installation inevitably results into increased vibrations (5.4.1, item 3) and thus, to damage on the
elastic coupling and the antifriction bearings. Therefore, the pump should be assembled by specially trained
personnel only or by our own fitters.
If the pump is delivered completely mounted with motor, a careful assembly is guaranteed. After examining
the unit on site for possible transportation damage, the following steps should be taken:
Alignment of baseframe by means of a water level.

Elimination of unevenness in the foundation by suitable supports.
Checking respectively realignment of the coupling
Attention ! The proper alignment of the entire unit prior to start-up is the responsibility of
the owner only.
4.4 ALIGNMENT OF FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS

For assembly and alignment, the installation/instruction manuals of the respective manufacturers must be
considered.
4.4.1 Documentation according to Directive 94/9/EG

Couplings are required for a safe operation of the pumps. They are defined to transmit energy and therefore,
are subject to the Explosion Proof Directive and will have a CE-marking. A declaration of conformity as well
as an instruction manual will also be supplied.
4.5 COUPLING GUARD

Never operate pumps without properly mounted coupling guards (shock protection). If the
coupling guard is manufactured and supplied by DICKOW, compliance with the valid
technical safety requirements – such as proper stability, sufficient distance to rotating parts
and no use of light metal for operation in hazardous areas - is guaranteed. If the coupling
guard is provided by the user, it must be in accordance with the above mentioned
requirements and meet the standard EN 809.
4.6 PIPING
The piping must be laid stress-relieved to the pump. The connection flanges of the pipes
Attention !
must be in exact alignment with the pump flanges. Never draw piping into place by imposing
force. If piping will be cleaned or flushed after installation, suction and discharge opening
must be closed by blanks. No solids must get into the pump during standstill
General
1. All piping must be supported and line up naturally with the pump flange.
2. Do not make final connection of piping to pump unit until grout has hardened.
3. Piping that handles hot liquids, require proper installation of expansion loops so that linear
expansion of piping will not cause misalignment.
4. Piping should be arranged to allow pump flushing and draining prior to the removal of pump for
servicing.
5. Gasket installation and materials must be suitable for the service.
6. The allowable forces and moments must be considered.
7. The flange sealing faces must be degreased and cleaned to be free of residues prior to
connecting the piping and inserting the gaskets.
4.6.1 Suction pipe

When using sealless pumps, care must be taken for the NPSH-conditions. The suction
Attention !
piping requires careful design for these pumps. It is especially important that the available
NPSH of the system is exactly determined.
NPSH-available ≥ NPSH-required + minimum 0,5 m (1.5 – 2 ft)
Suction pipe should be flushed before connection to the pump and the following be considered:
1. Use of elbows close to the pump suction flange should be avoided. There should be a mini-
mum of 2 pipe diameters of straight pipe between the elbow and suction inlet..
2. Suction piping must never be of smaller diameter than the pump suction.
3. Reducers, if used, must be eccentric at pump suction flange as shown in the following drawing.
Suction lift conditions Flooded suction conditions
Reducer
Reducer
4. If suction strainers are provided they must have a net „free area“ of at least six to seven times
the suction pipe area. Recommended mesh width 480 micron. Pressure losses at rated
capacity should not exceed 1 to 1,5 m (39 - 59"). There should be a minimum of two pipe
diameters of straight pipe between strainer outlet and pump suction flange.
5. Separate suction lines are recommended when more than one pump is operating from the
same suction vessel.
6. Never connect a larger suction pipe direct

to the pump suction flange. Flow eddies
reduce the free flow area of the pump.
Additional losses reduce the calculated
available NPSH, cavitation can occur.
4.6.2 Discharge pipe

1. Isolation valve should be installed in discharge line to permit closing of the line for pump
inspection and maintenance. If an additional check valve is foreseen, it should be placed
between discharge flange and isolation valve.
2. Diffusers, if used, should be placed between discharge flange and isolation valve. Standard
reducers (e.g. according to DIN 2616) should be used.
3. Cushioning devices should be used to protect pump from surges and water hammer, if quick-
closing valves are installed in system.
4. If a bypass pipe is provided for obtaining a minimum flow, lead the bypass back to the suction
source - not to the pump suction pipe right in front of the suction flange. !
5. If the discharge pipe is equipped with an automatic control valve which closes under certain
conditions (even at distance to the pump), an additional minimum flow bypass must be
provided.
4.6.3 Final piping check

After connecting piping to the pump:
1. Rotate shaft several times by hand to be sure that there is no binding and all parts are free.
2. Check alignment according to the alignment procedure outlined previously to maintain absence
of stress through piping. If stress exists, correct piping.

4.7 INSULATION
Insulation, if foreseen for pumps handling hot liquids, should cover the volute casing only. To avoid
overheating of the magnets, heat dissipation by radiation must be guaranteed in the area of bearing housing
350 and bearing bracket 330. Thus, insulation of bearing housing and bearing bracket is not allowed.
Insulation can also be required if the specification regarding maximum surface temperature within the
explosion proofness must be fulfilled. This is especially the case if the liquid temperature exceeds the
allowable temperature of the given temperature class.
4.8 SAFETY DEVICES

All safety devices for temperature, vibration, leakage etc, must be properly connected to the
Attention !
motor circuit respectively the control panel before start-up. Consider special descriptions
and wiring diagrams.
4.9 EARTHING CONNECTION

An earthing connection on the baseplate or frame is provided as standard. These earthing connections must
be plugged in any case.
4.10 DRIVE MOTOR

The drive motor is an electric device and must be connected by skilled and trained personnel only. All
applicable state and local laws and safety regulations must be observed. For installation in hazardous area,
IEC 60079-14 must be considered.

is the responsibility of the owner only.
5. OPERATION OF THE PUMP
5.1 START-UP PROCEDURE / LUBRICATION

When the before mentioned instructions have been performed, the protection strainer on suction side must
be checked and possible blanks removed. The pump can then be put in operation as follows:
1. Before start-up, the bearing bracket must be filled with oil.

If start-up follows a longer storage period of the pump, it is recommended to fill the bearing
bracket first with petrol and rotate the pump shaft several times by hand to clean the bearings
from possible impurities.

For filling up, remove the vent plug 913 from the top of the bearing bracket. The oil is to be
filled in - at back-folded constant level oiler - through the vent plug connection until the filling
level reaches the connection elbow of the oiler. Then, fill the oil reservoir in accordance with
above figure and put it back to upright position. The oil will now run from the oil reservoir into
the bearing bracket until the required level is reached.
As long as the oil reservoir is filled with oil during operation, a sufficient oil filling in the bearing
bracket is ensured. If the oil level in the reservoir drops down to about 1/3 of the total height,
refilling is recommended.
After the first start-up of new pumps, the oil filling should be renewed after 200 operating hours,
then once a year.

2. Fill suction pipe and pump completely with liquid. Open suction valve. Open discharge valve
partially or completely.
3. The magnet coupling is normally designed for direct-on-line starting. "Star-

Attention ! delta starting" must be specified when placing order. If this has not been
considered when selecting the magnet coupling, decoupling may be the
consequence when switching over.
In case of demagnetization, switch off the motor immediately to avoid
overheating of the magnets and elevated containment shell surface
temperature.
4. A start-up against closed discharge valve must be avoided if ever possible,

Attention ! because in this case, the absorption of the magnet losses through the internal
circulation in the containment shell area is not granted any more. If a start-up at closed
discharge valve is required by technical reasons (i.e. at operational troubles), a bypass or a
containment shell temperature monitor for automatic motor shut down must be installed.
Non-observance of this instruction may cause dry running in the containment shell area
(sleeve bearing failure), respectively demagnetization through inadmissible containment shell
surface temperature.
Lead bypass lines back to the suction source only. Do not return it to the suction pipe, right in
front of the suction flange.
5. If the above mentioned items have been checked, start the driver briefly to determine direction
of driver rotation which must be clockwise when viewing the shaft end. Shut off and check for a
smooth run down. The pump may not come to a jerky stop after shut off.
6. If the pump has come to a complete standstill and no problems have occurred, restart the
pump.
Immediately observe the pressure gauges.

Attention ! If discharge pressure is not quickly attained, stop driver, refill the pump and
attempt to restart. Adjust discharge valve until rated flow is obtained.
7. Continued operation against closed discharge valve without an additional

Attention ! bypass will cause excessive temperatures within the pump. Damage of the
sleeve bearing or overheating of the magnets through excessive containment
shell surface temperature is possible.
5.2 OPERATION
1. Attention ! Always adjust capacity with the valve in discharge line. Never throttle flow by
suction valve.
2. Pump and motor should always operate steadily and free of vibrations (see 5.4.1, item 3)
Attention ! A sudden increase of running noise is always a sign of possible trouble
3. The ampere load specified on the name tag of the drive motor must not be exceeded.
4. When operating with a capacity higher than rated and stamped on the pump name tag, make
sure that NPSH-available > NPSH-required.
5. Attention ! Never operate pump below the required minimum flow. The thermal stable
minimum flow depends on the magnet losses (refer to pump data sheet)
and on the physical properties of the pumped liquid (density, specific heat). When the pump is
running in the range right of the minimum flow, a constant temperature in the containment shell
area will be reached.
The following facts are relevant:

Minimum flow and temperature rise when handling water at 20°C (68°F) are displayed on the
following drawing.
The containment shell surface temperatures resulting from the eddy currents can also be
determined from this drawing.
Attention ! Independent from the determined minimum flow for a stable temperature
curve, pumps may not be operated at capacities below 15% of BEP, related
to the rated impeller diameter.
The expected containment shell temperature TSp can be calculated as follows:
C H 2O * Density H 2O *
TSp ,product = TE + ΔTSp ,H 2O x x
C product Density product
TSp ,product = Containment shell temperature during operation
TE = Inlet temperature suction flange
= Temperature rise in the containment shell, dependent from

ΔTSp , H 2O magnet losses (as per above Figure)
C = Specific heat for water and product
* use always the same units for water and pumped liquid
With the determined containment shell temperature, vapour pressure ΔPD can be taken from the vapour
pressure curve of the pumped liquid.
It must be guaranteed that the existing pressure in the containment shell is higher than the vapour pressure
of the pumped liquid.

for calculating the allowable operating temperature within the limits of the Explosion Proof Directive
94/9/EG:

T3 200°C 392°F
T4 135°C 275°F
T5 100°C 212°F
T6 85°C 185°F
Calculation of the allowable operating temperature is done step by step as follows:
Determination of temperature increase ΔTSp ≈ 4°C at H2O from the drawing on page 23 and
conversion to the physical characteristics.
C H 2O density H 2O
ΔTSp , Aceton = ΔTSp , H 2O x x
C Aceton density Aceton

= 4 x x = 9,9°C

When determining the allowable operating temperature at pump application for a certain
temperature class T, the standard EN 13436-1, 13.3.3 requires to consider a safety reduction
of ΔTS = -5°C for the T-classes T6-T3 and ΔTS = -10°C for the T-classes T2/T1.
From the known sizes it follows:
T zul = TT −KL − ΔTSp,Produkt − ΔTS = 135 − 9,9 − 5

T zul = 120°C
Attention ! In principle, the user of the pump must guarantee to maintain the liquid temperature. If the user
is unable to do so, reliable measurements must be taken (e.g. temperature monitoring) to avoid
!
excessive temperature rise in any case.
5.3 SHUT DOWN

1. Close valve on discharge side slowly.
2. Attention ! Immediately after closing the valve, the driver must be turned off and checked
for steady run-down.
3. Close valve on suction side.

4. Empty the pump during shut-down in winter and protect it against frost.
5.4 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

DICKOW-PRM-Pumps with magnet drive and oil lubricated antifriction bearings are designed to be
maintenance-free and do not require any adjustments. But without doubt, a routine maintenance program
can extend the lifetime of your pump and can prevent serious damage. Well maintained equipment will last
longer and requires less repair. You should keep maintenance records to help pinpoint potential causes of
problems.
5.4.1 Routine Maintenance

1. Temperature Monitoring
The wetted DLC-coated SiC-bearings have in principle an unlimited service life as long as boiling
point is not exceeded which would cause flashing of the liquid between the sliding faces
respectively dry run. The permanent magnets keep their magnetic forces for life unless elevated
temperatures cause demagnetization. Excessive temperature increase can be caused by the
following operating conditions:
a) operation against closed discharge valve or below minimum flow,
Operation against closed discharge valve can also happen if isolation valves
Attention ! in the downstream piping system close automatically at operational troubles.
b) clogged circulation holes through solid particles,
c) driver slips, respectively the magnetic coupling broke at start-up or decoupled through blocking
of the driven rotor (breakdown of internal circulation).
d) solid particles in the gap between driven rotor and stationary containment shell cause additional
friction,
e) dry running
All above mentioned possibilities cause a rapid rise of containment shell surface temperature.
Therefore, it is recommended to monitor the temperature of containment shell surface in order to
ensure an automatic switch off of the pump before serious damage occurs.
The DICKOW MAG-SAFE temperature monitoring system - reading the temperature direct on the
heat source - provides a reliable protection against the above mentioned troubles. Common tem-
perature probes PT100 work sufficiently only at properly filled pump and rotating inner magnet. A
protection against item c) and e) is not provided.
2. Motor load control
In case of dry running or blocked impeller, the pump shaft only transmits the magnetic losses, the
motor load drops nearly to zero. A power monitor can switch off the pump before magnet
overheating or wrecked bearings will occur. These devices require no additional sensors or
auxiliary pipes on the pump and can be installed in the motor circuit also subsequently. They can
be considered as the most economic monitoring systems for magnetic coupled pumps.
3. Vibration monitoring
All rotating pump parts are properly balanced, according to DIN ISO 1940/part 1, grade G 1,0.
During performance tests, we check pump vibration and ensure that a rate of velocity =
3,0 mm/s (0.12"/s) will not be exceeded.
For vibration measurement, the bearing brackets are provided with four "dimples" staggered each
by 90°.
5.5 MAINTENANCE - ANTIFRICTION BEARINGS

Obtainment of a long service life requires careful monitoring and maintenance of the pump bearings. This
includes for instance a constant check of the oil level in the bearing bracket and of the bearing temperature.
The oil sump temperature should not exceed 80°C (173°F)
The oil filling must be changed yearly. The vent holes in the vent screw must not get clogged.
To avoid damage of the containment shell by worn out ball bearings and eccentric rotation of the outer
magnets, the PRM-pumps are fitted with a containment shell protection device. In case of eccentric running,
the outer magnet coupling will first touch the bearing bracket and not get in contact with the containment
shell due to the different clearances. Operators can recognize such upset conditions by increasing noise,
vibration and/or increased power consumption, and switch off the driver before serious trouble occurs.

containment shell couple magnet cover
Continuous operation with worn out antifriction bearing causes wear of the cover 160 and
increasing surface temperature at the bearing bracket 330 and consequently, reduces the
clearance between outer magnet and containment shell. Using the MAG-SAFE pump
protection, the outer magnets will cut the connection wire and switch off the pump. If no
monitoring is provided, damage of the containment shell and penetration of the pumped
liquid to the atmosphere will be the result. When handling dangerous liquids, appropriate
safety devices must be foreseen
5.6 TROUBLE SHOOTING

If the pump does not develop the required performance or if other unexpected things
Attention !
happen during start-up, please consider, that you bought a quality product carefully tested
prior to delivery. Before calling DICKOW service personnel or disassembling the unit, please check carefully
the pump´s environment. Check simple things, such as forgotten blanks in the piping, motor and pump
speed in accordance with the labels, wire connections in the terminal box. Make sure that control devices
are properly connected and measuring instruments are calibrated.
5.6.1 No liquid delivered at start-up

Problem: Feed- or suction line is not completely vented or insufficiently filled.
Remedy: Fill again pump and suction line. Check foot valve in suction line.
Problem: Block valve in suction line is closed, blanks have not been removed.
Remedy: Open valve, remove blanks.
Problem: Feed- or suction line contain air pockets which cannot be eliminated by filling up because
piping is incorrectly laid out.
Remedy: Check layout of the pipes. Suction line at suction lift conditions must continually slope upwards,
at flooded suction conditions gradually slope downwards to the pump.
Problem: Pump does not come up to speed, magnet decouples. Motor is bigger than the rated coupling
power according to the name tag.
Remedy: Use smaller motor or install stronger magnets. Check with application engineer.
Problem: Pump does not come up to speed, motor is smaller than rated coupling power.
Remedy: Check start-up conditions, ask DICKOW application engineer for improving start-up conditions.
Attention ! Switch off motor immediately when magnet coupling slips in order to prevent
overheating of magnets.
Problem: Star-delta starting is foreseen, magnets decouple.

Remedy: Check the suitability of star-delta-starting with our application engineer.
5.6.2 Pump does not obtain rated flow or head after start-up
Problem: Block valve in suction line is not opened completely.
Remedy: Open valve.
Problem: Motor speed is not identical with the pump speed according to the name tag.
Remedy: Change motor, check up with application engineer.
Problem: Strainer basket filter on suction side is clogged

Remedy: Clean the filter.
Problem: Suction pipe is leaking.

Remedy: Retighten flange connection on suction side.
Problem: Pump rotates in wrong direction.

Remedy: Change motor wiring.
Problem: Differential head of the system is higher than specified in the order and on the name tag.
Remedy: Check with the application engineer whether the pump can at this stage be equipped with a
larger impeller (check power rating of the motor).
Problem: Viscosity of pumping liquid is higher than stated in the order.

Remedy: Check with application engineer.
Problem: Capacity reduces at increasing operating temperature. NPSH-available < NPSH-required.

Remedy: Increase feed head by rising the liquid level on suction side, improve NPSH-available.
Installation of inducer improves NPSH-required. Check with application engineer.
Problem: Pump cavitates.

Remedy: As described before.
Attention ! Cavitation creates slide bearing failure. Never operate pump under such upset
conditions.
5.6.3 Motor requires excessive power

Problem: Differential head lower than rated.
Remedy: Throttle discharge valve to obtain the capacity according to the name tag. Correct impeller
diameter (item 5.7)
Problem: Density or viscosity is higher than specified in the order.

Remedy: Check with the application engineer.
Problem: Motor speed is not identical with the pump speed according to the name tag.
Remedy: Change motor.
If a motor with enlarged drive power is installed, the transmissible power of the
Attention ! magnet coupling as well as the start-up conditions with the new motor data
must be checked. Contact application engineer.
5.6.4 Magnet slips during operation

Problem: Short time interruption of motor power. If power comes back before the pump has come to
standstill, the high starting torque decouples the magnets.
Remedy: If power cut is conditioned by frequent thunder storms with lightening, relays must be installed
such that a restart of the motor is possible only when the pump has come to a complete stop.
At automatic controlled plants, power cut can be caused by overloaded relay. Analyse power
consumption records for sudden peak currents.
5.6.5 Pump does not restart after a longer operating time

Problem: Magnets decouple.
Remedy: Check magnets with breakaway torque test acc. to section 7.1, item 3. Replace rotor if
necessary.
Permanent magnets keep their designed torque for life. Reduced torque
Attention ! capability is caused by overheating or by corroded protection cover. If
overheating has occurred, install additional protection device or change
operating conditions.
5.6.6 Pump is noisy and vibrates after start-up

Problem: Coupling between motor and pump is incorrectly mounted or aligned.
Remedy: Check and correct according to section 4.4/4.5.
Before removing the coupling guard and before starting any alignment
procedure, make sure that driver is shut off and secured against unauthorized
restart.
Problem: Base not rigid enough.

Remedy: Stabilize and support the area of the pump.
Problem: Foundation bolts are loose.

Remedy: Tighten foundation bolts.
Problem: Pump cavitates.

Remedy: Refer to section 5.6.2 - NPSH-improvement.
5.6.7 Pump gets noisy and vibrates after a longer operating time
Problem: Outer antifriction bearings are worn out
Remedy: Replace antifriction bearings. Use brand new originally packed bearings only. Consider sizes,
clearances and grease filling as specified in item 6.2.
5.6.8 Pump failure through damaged sleeve bearings
Attention Damage on the sleeve bearings is not caused through corrosion or wear. Reasons therefore
are usually operating upsets. Careful analysis and elimination of possible causes are required.
Consider the following notices for analysing the damage.
1. Start-up ring 500.1 on containment shell

destroyed
Possible After disassembling, abrasive solids such as

cause: welding residues, scales and sediments from the
pipes were found inside the pump. These
abrasives caused excessive wear and increase of
the clearance on suction side and disturbed the
balancing system within the pump. This kind of
damage can already occur after a short operating
time.
Remedy: Check clearance on impeller suction- and

discharge side. If the diametrical clearance on
suction side (Dsa - Dsi) exceeds 0,2 mm (0.032“),
replace the wear ring on suction side and if
necessary also the impeller.
Prior to re-installation of pump, the system must
be flushed respectively cleaned.
Installation of protective filters is recommended.

2. Sleeve bearing 310.1 and shaft sleeve 524 destroyed
Possible If no solids exist, damage of this kind can only be effected through exceeding boiling
cause: temperature in the containment shell area. Reasons therefore can be operation against closed
valve, below minimum flow, clogged circulation holes, or insufficient pressurization when
handling volatile liquids.
Remedy: - Clean the circulation holes, check for possible modification to external circulation from
discharge flange via cyclone separator or filter.
- Recalculate the safety against exceeding boiling point (contact application engineer).
- If possible, increase the pressurization by installing a larger impeller and orifice.
- Possible installation of an additional bypass.
- Installation of the MAG-SAFE temperature monitoring device.
3. Start-up ring 500.5 or sleeve bearing destroyed
Possible Damage of the start-up ring is a result of cavitation. If the NPSH-available drops below NPSH-
cause: required, uncontrolled additional thrust loads occur which cannot be absorbed by the balancing
system in the pump. These forces effect vaporization of the liquid respectively dry run.
Remedy: Increase liquid level on suction side to improve NPSH-available. Improve NPSH-required by
installation of an inducer (contact application engineer). Dropping below NPSH-value can also
be caused through partly clogged filter on suction side. Clean the filter and protect the pump by
monitoring the pressure loss in the filter. Cavitation can also appear if the pump operates –
conditioned on insufficient pressure resistance in the discharge line - with a capacity higher
than the rated capacity as per name tag or data sheet. Throttle discharge valve, respectively
correct impeller diameter (refer to section 5.7).
5.7 IMPELLER TRIMMING
5.7.1 Reduced impeller diameter required

Required new diameters for impeller and back vanes should be inquired from the factory. Also request a trim
down shop drawing.
Attention ! After trimming the impeller, it must be dynamically balanced.
5.7.2 Increased impeller diameter required

When increasing the impeller diameter by more than 5%, suitability of the magnet coupling and motor power
must be checked. If increase of motor power is also required, the start-up safety must be checked in
accordance with the new motor data.

8. RETURNING THE PUMP TO THE FACTORY
Pumps returned to the factory for overhauling or repair, may be disassembled or main-
tained by our service personnel only if the pumped liquid is clearly defined by the pump
user. According to the „Decree for dangerous Goods“ a „Safety Data Sheet DIN 52900“
completely filled in must accompany the shipping documents.
For non-toxic and non-explosive liquids, a transport control sheet with Attention Notice for danger and
handling must be undetachable fixed on the pump (a copy attached to the delivery note).
Above work safety instructions apply also for complaints on new pumps which have already been in contact
with liquid.
All pumps must be completely drained, flushed and neutralized before returning to the factory in order to
avoid endangering of personnel, unnecessary costs for disposal and delay in handling.
