Why Pfeiffer Vacuum HILOBE 2704/pumping station does not reach ultimate pressure?
- S
  Sandra ClementsAug 17, 2025
  If your Pfeiffer Vacuum Water Pump/pumping station isn't reaching ultimate pressure, several factors could be at play. First, check the backing pump to ensure it's functioning correctly. Second, inspect the system for any leaks, conduct a leak test if needed, and eliminate any identified leaks. Also, verify the calibration of your measurement instruments. Finally, make sure auxiliary gases, like sealing gas or gas ballast, aren't unintentionally entering the vacuum pump. Another potential cause is condensate or other outgassing impurities in the operation fluid, in which case you should replace the lubricant.

  If you notice unusual noises during the operation of your Pfeiffer Vacuum Water Pump, immediately switch it off. The suction chamber might be dirty, requiring cleaning. In case of damage to the bearing or gear wheels, or imbalance due to deposits on or in the pistons, switch off the vacuum pump immediately and contact Pfeiffer Vacuum Service. If the issue is imbalance due to deposits on or in the pistons, clean the pistons.

Why does my Pfeiffer Vacuum Water Pump switch off after a while after being started?

  If your Pfeiffer Vacuum Water Pump switches off after starting, it could be due to the thermal protection switch of the motor or the vacuum pump being triggered. Determine the cause of the issue and fix it. Allow the vacuum pump or motor to cool down if necessary, and make sure to use the pump as intended. The thermal protection switch of the motor and/or the oil temperature sensors of the vacuum pump may also have triggered for the same reasons, so follow the same steps.

  Walter WilsonAug 28, 2025
  If the LEDs on the operator panel of your Pfeiffer Vacuum Water Pump don't match the operating state, it could be caused by a defective operator panel circuit board due to overvoltage or faulty pin assignment. It could also be that 24 V applied via third-party power supply with deviating potential. Replace the electronic drive unit RC and contact Pfeiffer Vacuum Service.

Why is my Pfeiffer Vacuum HILOBE 2704 not reaching ultimate pressure?
- R
  Roy HarringtonAug 31, 2025
  If your Pfeiffer Vacuum Water Pump isn't reaching the expected ultimate pressure, several factors could be at play. First, examine the backing pump to ensure it's functioning correctly. Next, check the entire system for any leaks, conduct a leak test if needed, and eliminate any found leaks. Also, verify the calibration of your measurement instruments. Finally, check to see if auxiliary gases, such as sealing gas or gas ballast, are inadvertently entering the vacuum pump. If there is condensate or other outgassing impurities in the operation fluid, replace the lubricant.
