Assembly
To install the OME in a vacuum system, ISO small flanges or ISO clamp flanges are pro-
vided on the input side and output side. The flanges are provided with protective caps
when delivered to protect the sealing surfaces.
If gases are pumped that may not enter the atmosphere, an exhaust line must be con-
nected to the exhaust flange.
If large amounts of vapor arise during operation, it is recommendable to install a conden-
sate separator between the rotary vane pump and OME so that condensate is removed
in the KAS, and only oil mist enters the OME.
The OME can also be mounted beside the pump. When doing this, the position of the
installation must be maintained and the connecting and return drainage pipes going
down towards the pump be moved.
Turn off the vacuum pump, vent to atmospheric pressure and allow to cool.
Remove the protective caps from the connection flanges.
Place the OME on the exhaust side of the rotary vane pump with the sight glass facing
downward onto the flange, and fasten it with the clamping ring (accessory) or bracket
screws (accessory), if clamp flanges are used; observe centering ring (accessory).
If a
centring-ring with an outlet nozzle
has been fitted at the side of the pump, re-
place this with a standard version centring-ring.
If an exhaust valve
has been fitted in
at the side of the pump, this must be removed.
Lay exhaust line from the OME sloping downward so that no condensate can flow
back.
– If an air trap is created in the system, then a device for draining condensation water
must be provided at the lowest point.
OME 16 ATEX
If an ATEX version has been installed
a stainless-steel clamping ring
must definitely
be used. This clamping ring comes included with the pump and ensures that the OME is
properly grounded.
WARNING
Poisonous substances exit from the exhaust!
There is a poisoning hazard from discharged gases or vapors that can be hazardous
and/or polluting during use.
Install and run the exhaust line so that overpressure cannot build up inside it.
Follow the vacuum pump installation instructions in the respective operating instruc-
tions.
NOTICE
Vacuum component
Dirt and damage impair the function of the vacuum component.
When handling vacuum components, ensure that they are kept clean and are protect-
ed against damage.
Ensure that the connection flange is clean, dry and free of grease.
