At the pump exhaust
Exhaust of corrosive, reactive, flammable, pyrophoric or oxidizing process
gases may result in severe injury or death.
Always connect the pump exhaust to an appropriate exhaust extraction
system.
Remove the blank-offs blocking the inlet and exhaust ports; these
components prevent foreign bodies from entering the pump during transport
and storage.
It is dangerous to leave them on a pump in operation.
For safety reasons, any accessories connected to the inlet and exhaust must
be made of materials compatible with pumped gases and leak tested after
reassembly.
It is recommended to be able to isolate the pump from the
vacuum and exhaust system particularly if you have pumped
corrosive gases. (inlet and exhaust isolation valves, purges...)
Several fitting accessories are available in the Manufacturer catalog.
When the pump is connected to the pumping line, it is recommended
to perform a leak test on the whole line to check the connection (pump,
pipe...).
Ensure that all components in the exhaust pipeline have a maximum pressure
rating which is greater than the highest pressure that can be generated in
your system.
Incorporate flexible stainless steel flanged bellows in the vacuum pipeline to
reduce the transmission of vibration.
