1.2 Applications
GXS dry pumping systems are suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. Edwards has a dedicated team of
applications engineers who can help to determine the best dry pumping system for an application.
Warranties may be invalidated if the dry pumping system is used on an unsuitable application. If in doubt, contact
Edwards.
1.3 Description
The GXS dry pumping systems range has been developed to meet the demanding requirements for process pumping
solutions in industrial applications. The range sets new standards for harsh process capability, reliability and
reduced cost of ownership in low footprint packages.
There are various different ways to control the dry pumping system and monitor status. The user can manually press
controls on the front panel and monitor LEDs on the front and rear of the dry pumping system. The Edwards Pump
Display Terminal (PDT) gives further functionality for set up and status monitoring. Alternatively the dry pumping
system can be controlled using a distributed control system by connecting to the parallel interface by the MCM
MicroTIM. There are also several serial interface options, including Ethernet connection.
A high flow purge / solvent flush kit is available as an option to clean the dry pumping system on applications where
large quantities of dust and sticky deposits are encountered. The cleaning process is run while the dry pumping
system is in Green Mode/Standby mode and is carried out without the need to remove the pump enclosure. A PDT is
required to initiate the cleaning process, it controls a set sequence called DP Clean.
Warning - Use protective equipment. RF Earth (ground).
Warning - Risk of explosion. Warning - Pressurised.
