3.3 Setup
The vacuum system DUPLEX / TRIPLEX VRD consists of two or three rotary vane vacu-
um pumps of the type R 5 RD 0360 A. These are arranged horizontally one above the
other in a base frame and connected on the suction side to a collecting line.
The strainer installed in the suction flange prevents the ingression of dirt particles into the
vacuum pump.
The gas ballast valve is used for the addition of a limited quantity of ambient air to the
process gas, to counteract the condensation of vapor in the vacuum pump.
The vacuum system is completely piped and the electrical components are wired on a
switch and control cabinet.
