Maintenance
The gearbox and oil are
contaminated with the process
substances pumped.
Has the shaft-seal purge failed ? Check the pressure of the air or
nitrogen purge flow to the shaft-
seals; if necessary adjust the air or
nitrogen pressure. Change the
gearbox oil before you restart the
pump (refer to Section 5.7).
Have the seals in the pump failed ? The seals must be replaced. Contact
your supplier or Edwards for advice.
The gearbox is noisy. Is the oil level low ? Check the oil level and fill as
necessary (refer to Section 5.3).
The pump does not operate. Is the pump-motor faulty ? Make all the other appropriate
checks in this table. If there is no
other apparent cause for failure of
the pump to operate, check the
pump-motor and if necessary replace
it (refer to Section 5.11).
- - If you cannot rectify a problem, or if
you cannot identify the cause of a
problem, contact your supplier or
Edwards for advice.
