1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
These operation and maintenance instructions apply to the DESMI Deslube-N pump series.
DESMI Deslube-N is a multi-stage centrifugal pump with thrust bearing unit. The pump is further
equipped with a closed impeller.
The pump is designed only for pumping lubricating oils with temperatures between 0 and 80C.

When pump serves for main engine oil lubrication and is ceramic coated, a proper filter shall be
installed in the piping system to protect the main engine. This is to consider in case there is coating
material peeled off and enter the main engine.

2. TECHNICAL DATA
The pumps are manufactured in various material combinations which appear from the type number
on the name plate. See below.

be calculated as the noise level of the motor + 2dB (A).The noise level of the motor appears from the
instruction manual for the motor. The pump performance data appears on the nameplate of the pump.

3. TRANSPORT, STORAGE AND DELIVERY

3.1 TRANSPORT
Lift the pump by placing the rope around it and see to it that the pump is balanced.
The rope must not bear against sharp edges and corners.
Lifting eyes might be mounted in the pump and used instead.
Before shipment the pump is to be fastened securely on a pallet or the like.

3.2 STORAGE
After plat form testing, every pump is drained and an internal corrosion-resistant protection is
applied (except for pumps in bronze material or specific conditions). However, we recommend that
the pump is always stored indoors and in a dry area – e.g. packed in plastic sheeting and equipped
with moisture-absorbent Silica Gel bags.

a. Short-term storage, less than three month

(1) Storage area must be reasonably level, stable ground not subject to flooding.
(2) the equipment will have to be stored in a dry location and free from vibrations
(3) Small pumps shipped in package may be stored as received, provide the skids have not
been damaged in transit.
(4) For big pump, the suction and discharge openings should be check to ensure closed to
prevent dirt, animals or vandals from entering.
(5) For the duration not exceeding three months. Moreover, it is advised to turn the pump shaft
over manually and periodically to avoid any risks of seizing of mobile parts.

b. Long-term storage
If the storage duration exceeds three months, in addition to the precautionary measures
specified in a, it is necessary to coated with rust preventative adequate for all exposed
machined surfaces(consult your lubrication specialist) and re-apply the preserving fluid in
pump casing every three months. Make sure that the product used is compatible with the
pump materials and complies with the environmental protection and personnel safety
regulations currently in force.

c. Coating & Recommended anticorrosion

Coat the pump by spraying anticorrosion oil through both input and output branches e.g. by
means of pressure air every year. Recommended anticorrosion oil is Q8 Ravel D, Shell Ensis
PX / EX, Mobilarma 777 or similar oil. Also a neutral oil as e.g. a hydraulic oil can be used. If
pumps are mounted in a piping system, the coating can be sprayed through manometer
holes on input and output branches.

3.3 DELIVERY
- Check on receipt that the consignment is complete and undamaged.
- Defects and damages, if any, are to be reported to the carrier and the supplier

 immediately in order that a claim can be advanced.

4. INSTALLATION

4.1 MOUNTING/FASTENING
The pump should be mounted on a sturdy base plate with a flat and horizontal surface to avoid
distortion.

- Avoid distortion of the base plate.

- Avoid distortion of the piping system.
- Check carefully that pump and motor are accurately aligned.
- Shaft can easy rotate without any noise.

At installations pumping hot or very cold liquids, the operator must be aware that it is
dangerous to touch the pump surface and, consequently, he must take the necessary
safety measures.

4.2 WIRING

Wiring to be carried out by authorised skilled workmen according to the rules and regulations
in force.

4.3 ASSEMBLY DIMENSIONAL DRAWING

Assembly dimensional drawing will be sent to the customer for each pump type. And the product
will be consistent with dimension drawing.5. INSPECTING THE PUMP

Before any inspection of the pump, check that the unit cannot be started unintentionally.
-The system is to be without pressure and drained of liquid.
-The repairman must be familiar with the type of liquid, which has been pumped as well
as with the safety measures he has to take when handling the liquid.
-Inspect the shaft seal for leaks at regular intervals.

5. INSPECTING THE PUMP

5.1 INSPECTION
When the pump has been dismantled, check the following parts for wear and damage:

- Shaft seal/sealing seat : Check seat for flatness and cracks.

Check rubber parts for elasticity.
- Bearings : Replace in case of wear and noise.

5.2 SHAFT ADJUSTMENT

When the pump has been assembled, check that the shaft rotates freely; if necessary adjust the
axial clearance by turning the lock nut on the up-shaft. The axial raise is 2~4mm.Don’t raise shaft
too much so that pump shaft can’t rotate freely.

6. SYSTEM BALANCING

It is often difficult to calculate a delivery head in advance. It is, however, decisively important to the

capacity of liquid delivered.

A considerably smaller delivery head than expected will increase the capacity of liquid delivered,
causing increased power consumption.
Therefore, after start-up, it is necessary to check either the capacity of liquid delivered or the power
consumption of the pump e.g. by measuring the current intensity of the connected motor. Together
with a reading of the differential pressure the capacity of water delivered can be determined against
the characteristics of the pump.
Should the pump not function as intended, please proceed according to the fault-finding list. Bear in
mind, though, that the pump was carefully checked and tested at the factory and that the majority of
faults stem from the piping system.

7. PREPARATION FOR STARTING

7.1 Check motor rotating direction with the pins by starting up for a short while. It is
recommended that the electrical connection and rotating direction check be carried out prior
to connecting with pump.

7.2 The rotor shall rotate freely by turning it at the coupling without any noise

7.3 Check if the liquid level in tank or well meets the submersible depth requirement for the
pump.

7.4 Check if motor control and protection system are reliable.

The pump is not warranted for pumping foreign material in the liquid.

8. STARTING AND MAINTANENCE

8.1 Set the discharge valve at nearly closed position.

8.2 Ensure liquid level is higher than min. liquid level requirement.

8.3 Start the pump; open the discharge valve slowly to avoid overheating/pressure.

8.4 The pump shall be stopped and checked as soon as one of the following phenomena occurs:
1. Current exceeds the specified value or fluctuates widely;
2. Obvious vibrations and noise.
3. Bearing temperature or motor winding temperature exceeds the value specified in the
documents provided with the equipment.

8.5 The operator shall pay attention to the follows during normal operation:
1. Check and record the operating conditions, such as current, voltage, discharge pressure and
capacity daily.
2. Check for leakage daily.

9. STOPPING

9.1 Shut-off the power supply for motor.

9.2 Close discharge valve.

10. DISMANTLING
Before dismantling the pump make sure that it has stopped. Empty the pump of liquid
before it is dismantled from the piping system. If the pump has been pumping dangerous
liquids you are to be aware of this and take the necessary safety precautions.
If the pump has been pumping hot liquids, take great care that it is drained before it is
removed from the piping system.

In DL 300/400 pump, if you want to dismantle bowl unit, you have to dismantle the head unit first.
But in DL 500 pump, the bowl unit can be dismantled from bottom.

10.1 Dismantling top parts

If only bearing unit is necessary to be dismantled, motor and pump will not need to be lifted. It brings
much convenience in maintenance.
