3.5 Connection of the Flanges
Already small quantities of liquids (from the vacuum chamber or the piping)
can lead to liquid damages within the pump. These may lead to a defor-
mation of the impellers and may entirely destroy the pump. Suitable pro-
tective measures should be provided as required in the piping on the intake
side (separator, T-piece).
The pumps are vented with nitrogen for protection during transport. Only
remove the packing flanges before immediate connection.
If not already done, remove the protective shipping covers, foil or packing
flanges from the flanges.
Clean the flanges and check that the sealing surfaces are in perfect condi-
tion.
Flange the pump to the vacuum system.
Don’t place any stress on the pump casing when installing the intake and
discharge lines. Fit compensation elements in order to avoid such stresses.
Inspect the rubber elements of the pump feet for excess deformation (see
Section 3.1).
When attaching the pump directly (without bolting down the feet) to the
forevacuum pump, a special adapter has to be used. See Section
Accessories.
You must also check whether the backing pump is rigid and stable enough
to support the load of the RUVAC pump in each case. Notice safety infor-
mation 0.1.
