Positioning the pump
in the pumping installation
Positioning the pump
Determine where the pump will be placed.
Refer to the technical specification section for dimensions, if needed
(see
A 40
).
Use the handling devices to position the pump in the desired
location (see
B 10
).
Pump performance will depend on the kind of accessories used and the
quality of the mechanical connections such as the pump fittings.
As these pumps are typically used in a corrosive atmosphere, their reliability
will depend on proper installation and maintenance. When assembling the
vacuum circuit, we recommend the installation of maintenance accessories
such as shut-off valves on the inlet and purge lines.
For safety reasons, use accessories on the inlet and exhaust lines whose
materials and sealing properties are compatible with the gases being used.
The pump must be operated in the horizontal position in support on its feet,
with the pumping axis vertical and the inlet opening upwards.
Lock the pump by adjusting the for
leveling feet for resting solidly on
the floor.
Use a water level to check if the
frame is in horizontal position in
both axis.
