4.2 Operation 

4.2.1 Exhaust start 

(1)  Flow the Cooling water. 

(2)   Close  the  main  valve  of  the  Mechanical  booster  pump  and  start  running  the  Supplementary 

pump to exhaust inside pipes. 

(3)  Start  the  operation  upon  the  vacuum container  was  exhausted  to  the  pressure  lower  than  the 

maximum suction pressure of the Mechanical booster pump. 

(4) Start the mechanical booster pump when the vacuum chamber is pumped to below the maximum 

intake pressure of the mechanical booster pump. 

4.2.2 Exhaust stop 

(1)  Close the main valve of the Mechanical booster pump and stop it. 

(2)  The Mechanical booster pump shall keep running a while by the Rotor inertia. Check and ensure 

that the rotation stopped through the Oil level gauge to stop the Supplementary pump. 

(3)  Open  the  Suction  leak  valve  upon  stopped  the  Supplementary  pump  to  make  atmospheric 

pressure inside the Mechanical booster pump and Supplementary pump. 

(4)  Wait  until  the  Pump  cools  down  as  far  as  you  can  touch  by  hand  to  stop  flowing  the  Cooling 

water. 

(5)  Discharge the water in the Pump unit and Cooling water piping in case where the environment 

temperature comes down below 5

  under the state that the operation is stopped (Supply the 

compressed air of 0.3MPaG (gauge pressure) through the Cooling water inlet without closing the 

outlet.). Residual water, if any, might freeze up and cause crack of the Pump unit and/or Cooling 

water pipe. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Be sure to close the Vacuum valve and stop the Pump operation to open the 
Leak valve. Failure to follow this operation might cause the oil invasion in the 
casing from the Lubrication chamber or otherwise give damage to the Pump. 
Further  the  oil  might  flow  back  to  the  Vacuum  tank  if  used  the  Oil  rotation 
pump as the Supplementary pump. 
 
If failed in closing the Vacuum valve, the vacuum might leak from the Exhaust 
system through the Pump. 
 

CAUTION

 

 

The vacuum pump becomes high temperature during operation (70

  to 80

). 

Do  not  touch  the  Motor  and/or  Pump  unit  until  the  Pump  cools  down  after 
having stopped operation.  Apply an appropriate protection to avoid to touch 
the surface as necessary. 

 

However, if the environment was highly humid, keep the Mechanical booster 

pump warmer than the room temperature after having stopped it and make the 
atmospheric pressure inside the Pump. Water in the air might condense in the 
Pump and worsen the ultimate pressure and/or exhaust speed.
