Stuck vanes (r, 22) Repair the vacuum pump (Busch service)
Use only recommended oils (Ú Oil) and
change more frequently
The vacuum pump runs very hot
(the oil sump temperature shall not exceed
100 °C)
Insufficient air ventilation Make sure that the cooling of the vacuum
pump is not impeded by dust/dirt
Clean the fan cowlings, the fan wheels, the
ventilation grilles and the cooling fins
Install the vacuum pump in a narrow space
only if sufficient ventilation is ensured
On a vacuum pump with oil-cooler: clean the
intermediate spaces of the finned tube
Ambient temperature too high Observe the permitted ambient temperatures
Temperature of the inlet gas too high Observe the permitted temperatures for the
inlet gas
