Installation
DANGER
Risk to life due to incorrect installation and commissioning!
Improper or wrong installation can cause serious injuries or death.
Ø
Only authorised specialist personnel that have been trained about the safety regula-
tions for handling of oxygen plants are allowed to install and commission the pump.
Ø
The regulations for safety and health at work BGR 500 issued by the professional
associations (Operation of oxygen plants) or other relevant national regulations
must be met.
5.1 Preparation of installation
DANGER
Risk of explosion due to inadmissible oxygen concentration!
The vacuum pump VSI OXY is not gas-tight. Oxygen enrichment in the room air can
cause explosions.
Ø
Sufficiently vent the place of installation. The oxygen content by volume in the
room air may not exceed 21%.
Ensure the following conditions:
• Machine freely accessible from all sides
• Do not close ventilation grids and holes
• Sufficient space for installing and removing pipes and for maintenance work, particularly for the installa-
tion and deinstallation of the machine
• No external vibration effects
• Do not suck any hot exhaust air from other machines into the cooling system
Oil filling point (Fig. 2/, 3/H, H1), oil sight glasses (Fig. 2/I, I1, 3/I, I1) and oil drains (Fig. 2/K,
K1, 3/K), cooling water inlet (Fig. 2/C, 3/C) and cooling water outlet (Fig. 2/D, 3/D) must be easily
accessible.
The cooling air inlets (Fig. 2/E, 3/E) and the cooling air outlets (Fig. 2/F, 3/F) must be at least 30 cm
away from the adjacent walls. Cooling air coming out must not be sucked in again.
5.2 Installation
DANGER
Risk of explosion due to pollution in the intake medium!
If pollutants are sucked in, especially organic substances, this can cause a severe
danger of explosion!
Ø
To protect the VSI OXY, the user must install an appropriate filter on the inlet side.
Alternatively, the vacuum-tight intake filter (ZVF) can be installed.
CAUTION
Property damage caused by improper installation!
Improper erection and installation can damage the machine.
Ø
The machine may only be operated when it is set up horizontally
(Max. inclination: 8 ° in all directions).
Ø
Secure the machine against tipping over and falling.
Ø
The floor must be plane and even.
Ø
The bearing surface must be designed to be able to carry the weight of the machine.
Ø
The non-return valve must not be removed.
