Operation
Manual 1807 Rev B p/n 001807 0000
To use the gas ballast technique, proceed as
follows:
• Continuous gas ballast:
With the pump
operating, open the gas ballast valve until the
ultimate pressure is slightly below that needed
for the process. Operate the pump in this
manner continuously to aid in preventing oil
contamination.
• Intermittent gas ballast:
With the pump
operating, fully open the gas ballast valve during
periods when this will not affect the process
(work preparation, recycling, etc.). This will aid in
cleaning up oil contamination. If not convenient,
operate the pump in this manner overnight to
clean up severely contaminated oil.
If it is necessary to clean up the oil in the shortest
period, use the following procedure as a rough
guide to estimate the total time required to obtain
the desired blank-off pressure.
1. Observe the pump’s blank-off pressure with the
gas ballast valve fully closed.
2. Open the gas ballast valve fully and operate
the pump for about 15 – 20 minutes.
3. Close the gas ballast valve fully and observe
the pressure change in that time period. The oil
is clean when there is no further reduction in
pressure.
SPECIAL REFRIGERATION SERVICE
PUMPS
Kinney offers high vacuum pumps that are
specifically engineered for servicing refrigeration
equipment, which includes thorough vacuum
drying, degassing, and fast leak detection.
When connecting a pump to a refrigeration unit,
use 1/2 in., 5/8 in., or 3/4 in. copper tubing.
Smaller tubing is not recommended because of
the restriction to gas flow. If it is necessary to vent
the pump exhaust outside, use ordinary hose of
suitable diameter. Do not position the hose so that
condensate can collect and cause blockage, such
as in a loop or sag in the hose.
Before and after using a pump on refrigeration
equipment, remove the cap in the drop-out trap
to drain all liquid condensate. Drain the pump,
flush, and recharge it with fresh oil after each use
if it will not be used again for 2 or 3 days. This will
protect the pump during storage from rust and
contaminants, which are frequently encountered in
refrigeration service.
