Note the specified cross sections for the connection lines
If exhaust gases must be collected or contained, do not allow the exhaust
line to become pressurised. The pressure in the oil box must not exceed
0.5 bar relative to the atmospheric pressure. An exhaust line which is too
small in diameter or which is blocked can result in the formation of over-
pressures within the pump. Possible consequences can be a damaged or
even burst open the pump. Thus the exhaust line must be checked from
time to time to ensure that there are no obstructions.
Never operate the pump with a sealed exhaust line. There is the
danger of injury.
When pumping vapours we strongly recommend the installation of a
condensate separator on the suction side and also on the exhaust side.
Avoid backflowing condensate
Install the exhaust line with a downward slope (lower than the pump) so as
to prevent condensate from flowing back into the pump. If this is not pos-
sible, insert a condensate trap.
Safely lead the exhaust gases away
Exhaust gases may, depending on the type of application, present a health
hazard and/or may be detrimental to the environment.
The exhaust gases from the vacuum pump must be safely led away and
subjected to post-treatment as required. In order to reduce the emission of
oil vapours we recommend the installation of an additional exhaust filter
(Leybold accessory, see Section 1.4). Depending on the type of application
or the kind of pumped media, the corresponding regulations and informati-
on sheets must be observed.
The maximum inlet pressure must not exceed atmospheric pressure
(1013 mbar).
