1.17  Traps (See Accessory section in the back of this manual.)

1.171  The need for a Trap

 

Where corrosive vapors or large quantities of condensable vapors are evolved from vacuum processing, a cold 

 

trap may be used in the connecting line to the pump.  It will help prevent damage to the pump mechanism and 

 

reduce oil contamination.  The cold trap, immersed in a suitable Dewar flask, is installed to that the vapors may 

 

come in contact with the surfaces of the trap and condense.  Commonly used refrigerants are liquid nitrogen or 

 

dry ice and acetone.  The refrigerant to be used depends upon the freezing point of the contaminations.  A variety 

 

of cold traps are available from Welch Vacuum, Thomas Industries, inc.

1.172  The care of a Trap

 

When using a cold trap the refrigerant should be maintained at a high level in the flask to keep the trap at a 

 

uniformly low temperature.  If the trap is re-warmed it may allow re-evaporation of the condensate.  The 

 

refrigerant add tube on the liquid nitrogen trap should not be obstructed as the refrigerant boil-off can produce 

 

dangerously high pressures.  If the trap becomes saturated it should be disconnected from the system, drained and 

 

cleaned.  An increase in pressure in the vacuum system will normally indicate that the trap has become saturated. 

 

To clean the trap, remove the trap from the system, allow the trap to warm up and rinse off the condensate with a 

 

suitable solvent in a fume hood.  Thoroughly clean and dry the trap before reinstalling in the system.

Section 2:  OPERATION

2.10  Starting Procedures

2.101  Starting a DUOSEAL Pump

 

Before attaching the pump to a system it is well to familiarize yourself with the function and action of the pump 

 

which you have now required.Remove the intake and exhaust port plugs and temporarily provide a stopper for 

 

the intake and a dust cap for the exhaustReview the power requirements as described in Section 1.4.

2.103  Cleanliness

 

Take every precaution to prevent foreign from entering the pump.  A fine mesh screen is provided for this 

 

purpose in the intake passage of all DUOSEAL pumps.

2.104  Oil Level Determination

 

The amount of oil suitable for efficient and satisfactory performance should be determined after the pump has 

 

reached its operating temperature.  Initially, however, the pump should be filled with fresh oil while the pump is 

 

idle.  Fill the pump until the oil level falls half way of the oil level window.  If after a short period of operation the

  

level should fall, it is likely the result of oil entering some of the interior pockets of the pump.  If the oil level 

 

rises, this signifies oil has drained into the pump cavity while pump was idle.  Shut off pump, then drain oil down 

 

to proper level.

 

If a gurgling sound occurs, additional oil must be added.  Mechanical pumps will gurgle in varying degrees under 

 

four conditions of performance: [a] when operating at high pressure as in the beginning cycles of evacuation of a 

 

chamber; [b] when the oil level in the pump reservoir is lower than required; [c] when a large leak is present in 

 

the system; and [d] when the gas ballast is open.  Awareness of the possibilities will save time in setting up a 

 

system.  Best performance of a mechanical pump is generally obtained after sufficient time has been allowed for 

 

the pump to come to operating temperature.

CAUTION

Do not run this pump with the intake open directly to 

the atmosphere.  The pump will overheat, excessive oil mist will 

be emitted from the exhaust and the pump will eventually seize.
