WARNING:
The surfaces of the dr
y pump, booster (if ed) and spools are very hot when the dry
pumping system is running. Allow these surfaces to cool to safe temperatures before
installing the accessories inside the enclosure. Be sure to route and secure accessory
cables as shown in their installaon manuals to prevent the cables from resng on
hot surfaces.
Refer to the individual accessories manuals for installaon informaon.
5.12 Commission the dry pumping system
WARNING:
During some applicaon cy
cles, the dry pumping system may exceed the OSHA
1910.95 Occupaonal Noise Exposure Limits, the EU noise direcve 2003/10/EC or
other regional noise limits dependent upon the process, duty cycle, installaon or
environment in which the dry pumping system is being operated. A sound pressure
survey must be conducted aer installaon. If necessary, the controls must be
implemented to ensure that the relevant limits are not exceeded during the
operaon and that adequate precauons are taken to prevent the person from
exposure to the high noise levels during the operaon.
1. Before starng the pump, the main po
wer supply should be connected correctly
and cooling water and purge gas need to be checked.
2. Switch on the cooling water and purge gas supplies.
3. Ensure that the exhaust ex
tracon system is not blocked (for example, that valves
in the exhaust extracon system are open).
4. Ensure that all openings to atmospheric pressure in the foreline vacuum system
are closed.
5. Either connect the main power supply or install the run buon (1x6:6 and 1x6:7).
6. If the dry pumping system starts and connues to operate, connue at step 8. If a
warning or alarm condion is indicated:
▪ Shut down the dry pumping system. Refer to Manual shut down on pag
e 51.
▪ Contact us.
7. Look at the pressure gauge in the inlet pipeline:
▪ If the pressure is increasing, immediately shut down the dry pumping system
and contact us.
▪ If the pressure is decreasing, connue to step 9.
8. Visually check the purge gas dial pressure gauge on the rear of the pump to ensure
that the purge gas is being delivered to the pump. Connue to check the dial
pressure gauge regularly as the dry pumping system is used.
9. Aer the dry pumping system is commissioned:
▪ To connue t
o operate the dry pumping system, refer to Start up on page 50.
▪ Otherwise, shut down the dry pumping system. Refer to Manual shut down on
page 51.
