3.2.2 Performance characteriscs
Note:
The performance characteriscs described below are for use with hydrocarbon oil.
The posions of the mode selector and the gas-ballast control dene the performance
characteriscs of the pump. These performance characteriscs are listed fully in Table:
Performance data- High Vacuum mode and Table: Performance data- High throughput
mode .
Table: Performance characteriscs gives the ulmate vacuum and maximum water
vapour inlet pressure for each of the six possible combinaons of control posions. The
curves 0, I, and II in Figure: Performance characteriscs in High Vacuum mode (pumping
speed against inlet pressure) show the relaonship between inlet pressure and pumping
speed for High Vacuum mode S.
