1. The document provides procedures for replacing a mechanical seal in a DSD pump. It involves draining the pump, removing the gearbox and impeller assembly, removing the old seal components, cleaning parts, measuring clearances, and installing the new seal components. 2. Special care must be taken when installing the new mechanical seal seat and bellows assembly to properly lubricate parts and ensure full seating. 3. Reinstallation involves placing the gearbox and impeller assembly back into the pump housing, reconnecting lines, and testing for leaks. Proper lifting devices and torque specifications are provided.

REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES
j. Turn the jacking screws clockwise evenly to back the bearing housing out of the pump body. Make sure the
gearbox and bearing housing stay straight as the assembly is backed out.

k. Remove the gearbox and impeller assembly to a suitable work area.

l. Remove cotter pin and nut from impeller shaft.

m. Using a suitable puller remove the impeller and impeller key from the shaft.

n. Use hooks that fit around the shaft and seal then remove the mechanical seal assembly.

o. Remove the cup and seat from the bearing housing.

p. Clean impeller shaft and all components.

q. Measure the impeller wear surfaces and the wear rings. The wear rings should be replaced if the radial
clearance is 0.015 to 0.020 inch.

r. If necessary, remove and replace the wear rings in the pump body and rear bearing housing.

s. Inspect the oil seal in the rear bearing housing and replace if necessary.

DSD PUMP MECHANICAL SEAL
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES
2. Installation

WHEN INSTALLING THE MECHANICAL SEAL SEAT AND THE BELLOWS ASSEMBLY MAKE SURE
THE SHAFT AND SEAL COMPONENTS ARE WELL LUBRICATED USING A SOLUTION OF
ETHYLENE GLYCOL (ANTI-FREEZE) OR SOAP AND WATER. IF RESISTANCE IS FELT APPLY
ADDITIONAL LUBRICANT.

a. Being careful not to touch the sealing surface of the mechanical seal seat, apply a solution of ethylene
glycol (anti-freeze) or soap and water to lubricate the inside of the seat assembly. Slide the cup and seat
assembly over the impeller shaft. Using a soft clean pusher tube (a short length of 2 inch PVC pipe) make
sure the cup and seat assembly are seated in the rear bearing housing.

b. Keeping fingers away from the carbon seal ring apply a solution of ethylene glycol (anti-freeze) or soap
and water to lubricate the pump shaft and inside of the seal bellows. Orient the carbon seal ring towards the
seal and slide the bellows and spring over the impeller shaft. Apply pressure with a clean pusher tube and
make sure the seal bellows is all the way onto the shaft.

c. Insert impeller key in the impeller shaft and install the impeller on the shaft.

d. Install impeller nut and tighten to 135 ft-lb (183 N-m) Lock the impeller nut in place using a cotter pin.

e. Apply a light coating of grease to the seal ring groove and install a new seal ring on the rear bearing
housing.

f. Install a new gasket on the rear bearing housing, holding it in place with a light coating of grease.

g. Thread two 3/8-16 UNC studs in the pump body to help guide the bearing housing onto the pump body.

h. Using proper lifting device lift gearbox and impeller assembly into place. Use studs to guide the bearing
housing into the pump body.

i. Insert the 3/8-16 UNC x 1-1/4 inch long cap screws into the rear bearing housing. Tighten screws to 35 ft-
lb (58 N-m) torque.

j. Reconnect drive shafts, electrical, cooling lines and air lines to gearbox.

k. Test operate apparatus and watch for leaks.
