Selection of vacuum pump
When selecting a vacuum pump, please pay attention to the follows:
The range of vacuum must be up to -755 mmHg
The vacuum pump should have a large exhaust volume(more than 40 litres/min).
Water boiling point(c) Pressure(mmHg) Vacuity(mmHg)
40 55 -705
30 36 -724
26.7 25 -735
24.4 23 -737
22.2 20 -740
20.6 18 -742
17.8 15 -745
15.0 13 -747
11.7 10 -750
7.2 8 -752
05-755
Sequence of vacuum drying
According to the different ambient, vacuum drying has two ways:
Ordinary vacuum drying
Operating sequence:
Connect the pressure gauge with the liquid pipe and gas pipe, then run the vacuum pump
for more than 2 hours to reach the vacuity of -755 mmHg.
After pumping for 2 hours, if the pressure is higher than -755 mmHg, or there is some
moisture, then pump it for 1 more hour.
After 3 hours pumping, if the pressure is still higher than -755 mmHg, please check to see
if there are some air leak gap.
When the pressure is -755mmHg, stop pumping and wait for 1 hour to see if the pressure
change. If the pressure change, that means there are some air leak gaps or there is some
moisture in the pipe.
