5.4 General References
According to its intended use the capacity of the vacuum pump depends on:
•
The kind of assembly
•
Accessories
•
The oil used
•
Additional connections
•
Vacuum piping system
In addition, fail-safe operation is determined by the mode of maintenance. Elements such as valves,
filters, condensers should be provided as early as in the conception. The materials of the vacuum piping
should be selected in such a way that they will be resistant to the media to be delivered!
5.3 Pump Location / Environmental Conditions
The pump should be located in a clean and well-ventilated area and adequate space
should be provided wherever possible for routine maintenance such as oil changes.
For best performance, the pump should be located as closely as possible to its system.
Determining factors for pump location should include length and size of connections,
the number of bends, and the type of exhaust connections.
