** Horizontal flow units are available with 6” (150 mm) ports on inlet and discharge as standard.
Vertical flow units have 6” (150 mm) on top and 3” (80 mm) on bottom.
Kinney KV-100 oil is recommended for use on boosters with typical vacuum applications. Consult Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems
about oils for use where hazardous or chemically active materials may be present. NOTE: See “Frequently Asked Questions” on
page 15 for additional information regarding lubrication.
Add vacuum oil to the booster in the quantity shown in Table 2. The oil level must be maintained within the notched area of the sight
glass. See Figure 2. Lower drive units (horizontal flow) have “bull’s eye” type oil level gauges. Maintain oil levels at the center of the
glass. Oil may not be added while booster is operating. Oil reservoirs are under vacuum.
PIPING CONNECTIONS
Manifolding should be no smaller than the pump connections in order to minimize restrictions to gas flow. Accurately align the mating
flanges to the inlet and discharge manifolding to prevent distortion of the booster housing. Temporarily fit a fine wire mesh filter at the
suction port if solid particles are likely to be entrained into the air stream and remove the filter when particles no longer appear. This
is especially desirable on new installations and when manifolds have been welded. The manifolding to and from the booster should
be fitted with flexible connections to isolate vibrations, absorb expansion and contraction due to thermal change, and to absorb
misalignment differences. If the booster is to be water cooled, connect a clean supply to the ¼” NPT connection on the seal adapter
housing adjacent to the drive shaft. The drain line will be connected on the bottom of the non-drive end reservoir, see Figure 3 for
connection locations.
The partly water-cooled slinger version has cooling water to the seal adapter housing only. The cooling coils and interconnecting
water line are omitted and the interconnecting line leading from the seal adapter housing is led to the drain.
