Technical data
2.1
Operating and storage conditions
Note:
For operation between -20 °C and 5 °C (-4 and 41 °F), we recommend that the HV pump is operated
continuously except when shut-down is necessary for maintenance purposes. Note also the cooling-water
requirements given in
There is a wide range of backing pumps which are suitable for use with the HV pumps. If necessary, contact
Edwards for advice.

WARNING
If you fit an isolation valve between the HV pump and the backing pump, you must interlock the
operation of the valve with the operation of the HV pump, so that closure of the valve results in
shut-down of the HV pump.
