FLOODING

If the pump is not vented to atmosphere when 

stopped under vacuum, it is possible for oil to flood 

the pump cylinder, causing a hydraulic lock that 

can make it difficult to start the pump. 

To release this hydraulic lock, fully open the gas 

ballast valve and try to turn or rock the pump pulley 

by hand to force out the oil. Do not apply excessive 

force to turn the pump pulley, such as with a long 

pry bar.

OIL MIST ELIMINATOR

It may be necessary to clean out the oil separator 

or change the replaceable filter element after the 

pump has been in service for a long time. It may be 

necessary to do so quite frequently if mechanical 

contaminants are present or if oil sludging due to 

chemical attack takes place. To do this, remove 

the top cover of the oil separator and clean it as 

required.

Since pump applications vary greatly, operating 

experience is the best guide for determining 

the interval for replacing the oil mist eliminator 

element. 

NOTE:  

N

Drain valves in the oil mist eliminator are 

application-specific.

Change the oil mist eliminator if:

•

Visual inspection shows the oil mist eliminator

element is blocked by foreign matter.

•

Pump backpressure as read at the inlet to the

oil mist eliminator (or the oil fill plug) reads

higher than 4 – 6 psig (27.57 – 41.36 kPa). This

indicates the element is contaminated.

•

Motor current exceeds the manufacturer’s

recommendations shown on the motor

nameplate. This indicates the element is

contaminated.

•

Mist is discharged from the oil mist eliminator.

This indicates the element is ruptured or the

gasket is not sealing.

The oil separator-mist eliminator assembly can 

flood if the pump is operated for prolonged periods 

higher than 5 Torr (6.7 mbar a). This oil buildup will 

cause oil droplets to be discharged when the pump 

is operating. To remove this trapped oil, decrease 

the pump operating pressure to less than 5 Torr 

(6.7 mbar a) until the trapped oil can return to the 

pump.

If it is not feasible to operate the pump at 5 Torr 

(6.7 mbar a) or below to prevent flooding the oil 

separator-mist eliminator assembly, install an oil 

return line 

(see Figure 5-1)

. If the pump operating 

range is 5 – 150 Torr (6.7 – 200 mbar a), the return 

line should connect to the gas ballast valve, in 

which case the valve must not be closed. If the 

operating range is above 150 Torr (200 mbar a), 

the oil return line should connect to the pump at 

the suction port area.
