7.4.7 TAV vent-valve and vent-port adaptor
Two solenoid-operated vent-valves are available for system venting. The valves are 24 V d.c., normally-open, and
can be driven automatically from the EXC Controller. The solenoid-valve is fitted in place of the manual-valve, or
alternatively can be fitted with an adaptor (supplied with the valve) and be used with any suitable NW10 flanged port
on your vacuum system.
The vent-port adaptor allows the vent-port or the purge-port to be used with any suitable NW10 fitting: see Figure 9,
item 8 and item 11.
7.4.8 ACX air-cooler
An ACX air-cooler can be fitted to the EXT pump. However, please refer to Section 3 to check the suitability of air-
cooling in a particular application.
7.4.9 Vibration isolators
In applications where the small amount of vibration generated by the turbomolecular pump is a problem, a vibration
isolator can be fitted. The isolator consists of two special flanges separated by a flexible bellows and a rubber, anti-
vibration, outer collar. The isolator required depends on the pump inlet-flange size.
7.4.10 PRX purge-restrictor
A modified DN10NW centring-ring is available to filter the purge gas and restrict its flow rate to the recommended
flow of 25 sccm. The restrictor is suitable for all EXT pumps fitted with a purge-port.
7.4.11 VRX vent-restrictor
Use a VRX fixed orifice vent-restrictor to restrict the flow of vent gas into the EXT pump. Refer to Section 3.4 for
information on the selection of the correct VRX vent-restrictor.
