4.3 Starting in Cold Weather
The bearing grease and cup packing may harden under cold conditions, and the pump may be
difficult to start. Use the following procedure in this case.
1) Open the inlet to atmosphere, and switch power ON-OFF two or three times until the pump
starts. If the pump still does not start, raise the ambient temperature above 7°C.
2) With the inlet open to atmosphere, run the pump for a few minutes to warm it.
3) Commence normal operation once the pump has warmed.
5. Pump Performance
5.1 Evacuation Rate
The rate of evacuation varies with the type of gas used, and its pressure. The maximum rate of
evacuation is reached when air is introduced, and slowly decreases as pressure is reduced.
The resistance of the piping system increases with small bore piping which extends over long
distances, and this reduces the rate of evacuation.
The declared rate of evacuation for this pump is the maximum value achieved with dry air.
5.2 Power Requirements
The power required to drive the pump is the total of the work required to overcome the rotational
resistance of the pump (mechanical work), and the work required to compress the air
(compression work), and is at a maximum at an inlet pressure of 0.50MPaG.
If pressure
drops below this level, compression work is considerably reduced and power is expended in
mechanical work.
