3.1.2 Function
The OME is mounted at the exhaust of a rotary vane pump and separates oil droplets and vapors from
gases emitted at the exhaust. Stopped by the filter element, they are transformed into liquid.
The OME must be mounted vertically above the pump, the condensed oil is recovered by flowing back
through the filter element into the oil case, if the inlet pressure is less than 1 hPa for a sufficiently long
time.
The OME has a safety valve set to 500 hPa relative pressure which prevents overpressure in the pump
oil case when the filter element is saturated. Do not allow solid or pasty deposits created by pumped
vapors to stick the valve to the filter element.
3.2 Storage
