the drive manufacturer.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Wire the motor and other electrical
devices such as solenoid valves and
temperature switch to the proper
voltage and amperage as indicated
on the nameplate of each component
being wired. Turn the booster by hand
after wiring is completed to determine
that there are no obstructions and if the
booster turns freely; then momentarily
start the booster to check the direction
of rotation. Figure 5 shows direction of
air flow in relation to rotor rotation. The
air flow direction can be reversed by
reversing the appropriate motor leads.
OPERATION
STARTING
Check the oil for proper level at both
ends of the booster. Add, or drain, oil as
necessary to bring the oil to the correct
level. See Figure 2. Too much oil
particularly on the gear end can result
in excessive heat generation. Too little
oil will possibly result in failure of the
timing gears, bearings, and mechanical
seals.
Start the backing pump. When pressure
is reduced sufficiently, start booster pump. A pressure switch can be installed to start the booster at a predetermined pressure. If
the booster is water cooled turn on the cooling water when the booster is started. Adjust the water flow so that the discharge water
temperature is no more than lukewarm (70° to 80° F [21° to 26° C]).
OPERATING
The upper temperature limits for booster pump operation are between 350° to 375° F (175° to 190° C) measured in the exhaust gas
stream with a low mass thermocouple. When this temperature limit switch is installed, as the temperature exceeds the predetermined
temperature, the booster motor will stop and cannot be restarted until the temperature drops below the trip setting of the temperature
switch.
NOTE: These upper limits are not for continuous operation. Consult with factory for detailed information or assistance.
STOPPING
CAUTION: Venting the booster to pressures above cut-in while running can damage the pump.
Stop the booster by turning off the motor. Isolate the booster from the vacuum system and vent the booster to atmosphere. Turn off
the cooling water if water cooled. Stop the backing pump. Refer to component instruction manual.
MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
Scheduled maintenance consists of changing lubricating oil every 250 to 1500 hours of operation. Change the oil more frequently if
