Vacuum Connections
The Nautilus Extreme MXE-500 has a unique vacuum system which
allows you to connect your vacuums in either parallel or in series.
Vacuum connections can be changed quickly, without tools. While
there is debate on which vacuum alignment provides the best
extraction, this much is true:
•
Two vacuums in series: The vacuum lift is increased by 1.6 times
the rating of a single vacuum, while the air flow stays the same as
a single vacuum.
• Two vacuums in parallel: The vacuum air flow is increased by 2.0
times the rating of a single vacuum, while the lift says the same.
Air flow is usually measured in cubic feet per minute, indicated as
CFM.
Lift is usually measured in inches of water column, indicated as
“H2O or “WC.
To connect vacuums in parallel:
1. Connect the discharge / exhaust hose from vacuum #1 to the exhaust
pipe on machine base.
2. Place the rubber stopper into the vacuum inlet port of vacuum
manifold number two.
3. Open vacuum gate valve and attach the Gatekeeper to prevent
accidental valve closure.
When connected in parallel, both vacuums must be running during cleaning.
Vacuums cannot be operated individually.
To connect vacuums in series:
1. Connect the discharge / exhaust hose from vacuum #1 to the vacuum
inlet port of vacuum manifold number two.
2. Place rubber stopper into the exhaust pipe on machine base.
3. Remove Gatekeeper and close vacuum gate valve.
When connected in series vacuums can be operated individually if desired during
cleaning.
Always secure the Gate Valve Open with
the Gatekeeper when connecting the vacuums in Parallel.
Closing the Vacuum Gate Valve with the hoses connected
in the Parallel configuration may cause damage to
Vacuum
#2.
