Lower pressure (e.g. -0.6 bar) means lower residual water content. Higher
pressure (for example, -0.4 bar) means faster dewatering in case of free
water.
By closing the needle valve (D) you reduce the absolute pressure and also
the air-flow rate for dewatering the operating medium.
If the needle valve (D) is completely closed, dewatering takes place
exclusively with the air released in the operating medium. The dewatering
rate is then reduced to a minimum.
Some oils foam intensively when they enter the vacuum column. This effect
especially occurs in case of very high water and air contents. This effect is
also to be observed with older oils or extremely high-viscosity media.
If too much foam is caused, it is drawn in by the vacuum pump or the vacuum
column will be overfilled. In this case, reduce the vacuum from e.g. -0.6 bar
to -0.4 bar.
Water condensation can occur in the connecting hose between the vacuum
pump and the vacuum column in the presence of a very high water content in
the oil. The water is separated out into the vacuum pump storage container.
In this case, reduce the vacuum to -0.4 bar.
If Error 03 or 33 is displayed after a certain amount of time, this will usually
be the result of excessively high vacuum (relative pressure too low).
