BUSCH R5 RE 0016 B, Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 8 / 24

CAUTION
_a
The vacuum pump is shipped without oil.
Operation without oil will ruin the vacuum pump in short time.
Prior to commissioning it must be made positively sure that oil is
filled in.
The vacuum pump is delivered without oil (oil specification
Ú
page 20:
Oil).
●
Keep approx. 1 litre(s) (RE 0016 B) or 2 litre(s) (RE 0040 /
0063 B) resp. oil acc. to the table Oil (
Ú
page 20) ready
Note : The amount given in these operating instructions is a guide. The
sight glass (p) indicates the actual amount to be filled in.
CAUTION
_a
Filling oil through the suction connection (f) will result in breakage
of the vanes (i) and destruction of the vacuum pump.
Oil may be filled through the filling port (g, o) only.
CAUTION
_a
During operation the oil separator is filled with hot, pressurised oil
mist.
Risk of injury from hot oil mist with open filling port.
Risk of injury if a loosely inserted filling plug (g, o) is ejected.
Remove the filling plug (g, o) only if the vacuum pump is stopped.
The vacuum pump must only be operated with the filling plug (g, o)
firmly inserted.
●
Remove the filling plug (g, o)
●
Fill in approx. 1 litre(s) (RE 0016 B) or 2 litre(s) (RE 0040 /
0063 B) resp. of oil
●
Make sure that the level is between the MIN and the MAX-mark-
ings of the sight glass (p)
●
Make sure that the seal ring is inserted into the filling plug (g, o)
and undamaged, replace if necessary
●
Firmly reinsert the filling plug (g, o) together with the seal ring
Note : Starting the vacuum pump with cold oil is made easier when at
this very moment the suction line is neither closed nor covered with a
rubber mat.
●
Switch on the vacuum pump
In case the suction line is equipped with a shut-off valve:
◆
Close the shut-off valve
In case the suction line is not equipped with a shut-off valve:
◆
Cover the suction connection (f) with a piece of rubber mat
●
Let the vacuum pump run for a few minutes
●
Shut down the vacuum pump and wait a few minutes
●
Check that the level is between the MIN and the MAX-markings of
the sight glass (p)
In case the level has dropped below the MIN-marking:
◆
Top-up oil
In case the suction line is equipped with a shut-off valve:
◆
Open the shut-off valve
In case the suction line is not equipped with a shut-off valve:
◆
Remove the piece of rubber mat and connect the suction line
Recording of Operational Parameters
As soon as the vacuum pump is operated under normal operating
conditions:
●
Measure the drive motor current and record it as reference for fu-
ture maintenance and troubleshooting work
Operation Notes
Use
WARNING
_ad
The vacuum pump is designed for operation under the conditions
described below.
In case of disregard risk of explosion!
The vacuum pump must only be operated under the conditions de-
scribed below.
WARNING
_ad
Operating a faulty vacuum pump puts the explosion safety at risk.
Risk of explosion!
The vacuum pump must only be operated in faultless condition.
A faulty vacuum pump must immediately be removed from service.
The vacuum pump is intended for
–
the suction
of
–
air and other dry, non-aggressive, non-toxic and non-explosive
gases
Conveying media with a lower or higher density than air leads to an in-
creased thermal and/or mechanical load on the vacuum pump and is
permissible only after prior consultation with Busch.
Max. allowed temperature of the inlet gas: 40 °C
Disclaimer: The vacuum pump comes with a couple of features
(
Ú
page 3: Safety Concept) meant to accommodate the approval of
the vacuum pump for use in/with potentially explosive atmosphere.
The provision of these features by Busch does not constitute any kind
of implicit approval or certification of the vacuum pump for the use
in/with potentially explosive atmosphere. The assessment of the suit-
ability of these features for the safe operation of the vacuum pump
in/with potentially explosive atmosphere is solely in the responsibil-
ity of the manufacturer of the superordinate machinery (i.e. the ma-
chinery into which the vacuum pump is to be incorporated) and/or
the certifying body for the superordinate machinery. Further measures
may have to be taken, depending on the specific application and/or
the applicable national explosion safety regulations.
The explosion safety regulations of the European Union require a dif-
ferent approach, hence the vacuum pump R 5 RE 0016 B / RE 0040 B
/ RE 0063 B is not meant for use in/with potentially explosive atmo-
sphere within the European Union.
In case the vacuum pump is equipped with a gas ballast (optional) wa-
ter vapour within the gas flow can be tolerated within certain limits
(
Ú
page 9: Conveying Condensable Vapours). The conveyance of
other vapours shall be agreed upon with Busch.
The vacuum pump is thermally suitable for continuous operation
(100 percent duty).
The vacuum pump is ultimate pressure proof.
