Vacuum System Safety Requirements
• The pump or building system must be capable of safely pumping explosive atmospheres
from the oven chamber, which is a C1D1; Class 1 Zone 1; ATEX Zone 1 location
.
Potentially explosive concentrations of vapors or gases will be present in the
chamber environment and its exhaust .
•
Hazardous Location Compliance : The pump or system must meet the appropriate
C1D2; Class 1 Zone 2; ATEX Zone 2; IECEx equipment requirements for the hazardous
classified location or zone it will be installed and operate in.
•
Ventilation Pump Clearances
: See the pump user manual for the clearance spaces
required to disperse heat and avoid overheating the pump. Pumps can overheat and
potentially ignite solvents if placed in confined spaces.
•
Explosive Exhaust : The HVAC or other ventilation system the pump exhaust is connected
to must be able to safely handle explosive atmospheres pumped from the oven chamber.
• Exhaust Ventilation : Outgassed byproducts may be hazardous to or noxious for
operating personnel. These must be expelled from the workspace area in compliance with
applicable laws, regulations, or ordinances.
•
Pump Suitability and Requirements : Refer to the vacuum pump manufacturer manual
for specifications and compatibility with applications. Consult the manual for operating
requirements such as pump oil and sorbent use, as well as maintenance requirements.
