8 Decommissioning
8.1 Shutting down for longer periods
Before shutting down the vacuum pump, observe the following instructions to adequately protect the in-
terior of the vacuum pump (suction chamber) from corrosion:
Procedure for a longer downtime of the vacuum pump (> 1 year)
1. Allow the vacuum pump to cool down.
2. Clean suction chamber.
3. Change the lubricant.
4. Seal the vacuum flange and fore-vacuum flange and any other openings with screw caps.
5. Evacuate the pump interior via the measurement connection on the vacuum side, to p < 1 hPa.
6. Vent the suction chamber of the vacuum pump through the measurement connection using dry air
or nitrogen.
7. Store the vacuum pump in dry, dust-free rooms, within the specified ambient conditions.
8. In rooms with humid or aggressive atmospheres: Hermetically seal the vacuum pump together
with a drying agent in a plastic bag.
9. For storage durations of more than 2 years, we recommend you carry out maintenance and a lu-
bricant change prior to recommissioning.
10. Please note, the vacuum pump may not be stored in the vicinity of machines, traffic routes, etc.,
as strong vibrations may damage the bearing.
8.2 Recommissioning
DANGER
Risk of explosion from electrostatic charging during transport
There is a risk of fatalities when transporting packaging material (foil) and plastic containers in poten-
tially explosive areas. Ignition can cause very serious injuries, and even fatalities.
► Only unpack the vacuum pump outside of potentially explosive areas.
NOTICE
Damage to the roots pump due to aging of the lubricant
The useful life of the lubricant is limited (max. 2 years). Prior to recommissioning, carry out the follow-
ing operations following inactivity of
2 years or more
:
► Observe the maintenance instructions – consult Pfeiffer Vacuum where necessary.
► Change the lubricant.
► Check the bearings and replace any aged elastomer parts.
Control work before re-commissioning
1. Check the roots pump for visible damage and operate the roots pump only in an appropriate oper-
ating status.
2. Check the interior of the pump for contaminants.
3. Remove any drying pearls from the suction chamber.
4. Do not operate the vacuum pump and notify
in the event of housing parts
exhibiting signs of rust.
5. Perform a leak test prior to recommissioning the vacuum pump as required.
