5 Installation
The installation of the turbopump and its fastening is of outstanding importance. The rotor of the turbo-
pump revolves at very high speed. In practice it is not possible to exclude the risk of the rotor touching
the stator (e.g. due to the penetration of foreign bodies into the high vacuum connection). The kinetic
energy released acts on the housing and on the anchoring of the turbopump within fractions of a sec-
ond.
Comprehensive tests and calculations conforming to ISO 27892 confirm the safety of the turbopump
both against crashes (destruction of the rotor blade) and against bursting (breakage of the rotor shaft).
The experimental and theoretical results are expressed in safety measures and recommendations for
the correct and safe fastening of the turbopump.
5.1 Preparing for set-up
WARNING
Danger to life from electric shock in the event of a fault
In the event of a fault, devices connected to the mains may be live. There is a danger to life from
electric shock when making contact with live components.
► Always keep the mains connection freely accessible so you can disconnect it at any time.
General notes for the installation of vacuum components
► Choose an installation location that permits access to the product and to supply lines at all times.
► Observe the ambient conditions given for the limits of use.
► Provide the highest possible level of cleanliness during assembly.
► Ensure that flange components during installation are grease-free, dust-free and dry.
5.2 Setting up the pumping station
WARNING
Risk of cuts on moving, sharp-edged parts when reaching into the open high vacuum flange
With the high vacuum flange open, access to sharp-edged parts is possible. A manual rotation of the
rotor increases the danger situation. There is the risk of cuts, up to the separation of body parts (e.g.
fingertips). There is a risk of hair and loose clothing being drawn in. Objects falling in destroy the tur-
bopump during subsequent operation.
► Only remove the original protective covers immediately prior to connecting the high vacuum
flange.
► Do not reach into the high vacuum connection.
► Wear protective gloves during installation.
► Do not start the turbopump with open vacuum connections.
► Always carry out the mechanical installation before electrical connection.
► Prevent access to the high vacuum connection of the turbopump from the operator side (e.g.
open vacuum chamber).
Procedure
1. Maintain a minimum distance of 50 cm to lateral boundaries or adjacent devices.
2. Make sure that there are sufficient cooling options for the pumping station.
3. Install suitable shielding if the surrounding magnetic fields exceed the permissible levels.
4. If you use housing heating and water cooling, make sure that the temperature at the vacuum
chamber connection flange does not exceed 120 °C.
5. Install suitable shielding so that the irradiated thermal output does not exceed the permissible val-
ues when high temperatures occur due to the process.
