INTRODUCTION The AquaSeal water-sealed liquid ring vacuum pump system has been designed to give you safe, reliable, trouble-free service, provided the basic maintenance guidelines as set out in this manual are followed. Compared to other vacuum pump systems, the AquaSeal water-sealed liquid ring vacuum pump system offers the advantages of no metal-to-metal contact between the impeller and casing.
The customer should take photos of the product as it arrives and send to DEKKER and the freight carrier if there are any issues. The party who selected the shipper is responsible for filing the freight claim. Failure to report these issues within the freight carriers’...
Lifting Lift the equipment carefully and with weight evenly distributed. DEKKER is not responsible for equipment that has been damaged through mishandling or dropping. Location Install the unit in a well ventilated and dust free area. The pump or system should be a minimum distance of 3 feet from surrounding walls to allow for checking fluid level, temperatures, pressures and general servicing.
OSHA, National Electric Code and any other applicable local electrical code concerning switches, fused disconnects, etc. DEKKER includes a wiring diagram in the control panel for use by the installer. DEKKER recommends a main disconnect switch be fitted between the vacuum system and the incoming power.
Seal Fluid Piping No recovery AquaSeal systems require an adequate supply of seal water at a supply pressure of between 40 and 100 psig entering the flow control valve. If the sealing water temperature is higher or available pressure lower, consult your authorized dealer or call the factory.
(see next page, item 4A.1). Consult the factory for specific system size alignment. Mono-block units do not require any field adjustment (motors are C-face mounted). DEKKER Vacuum Technologies, Inc. / Part No. 9983-0000-S02 Rev. B...

Clean and inspect the strainer every 500 hours. Shaft Seals All DEKKER liquid ring vacuum pumps are fitted with mechanical shaft seals. Mechanical seals do not require maintenance unless there is more than a small amount of leakage. To define this we differentiate between the...
Usually the valve is used to isolate the vacuum system from the piping network. Inlet Filter (optional): An inlet filter may be installed on the AquaSeal water-sealed vacuum pump systems to prevent carry-over of particles into the pump.
The following is a basic troubleshooting guide and not all options may be included. Service should be done by a DEKKER authorized distributor or a properly trained service technician. Each unit is tested and checked at the factory. Always indicate model and serial number when calling. The model and serial number is viewable on the gold-colored information plate attached to the unit.
Check for scale build-up in pump. Check the seal-fluid temperature, it could be too high. 10. Check the vacuum level, pump may cavitate as a result of a too deep of a vacuum level. DEKKER Vacuum Technologies, Inc. / Part No. 9983-0000-S02 Rev. B...
