Procedure
1. Unscrew and remove the higher filler screw from the operating fluid pump.
2. Use the syringe and the operating fluid from the turbopump shipment.
3. Place a container below the filling port.
4. Fill in operating fluid until it overflows at the filling port.
–
Maximum volume 50 ml.
–
In vertical mounting orientation, the filling volume is a little lower.
5. Seal the filler screw.
–
Tightening torque: 3 Nm
5.4 Connecting the fore-vacuum side
WARNING
Danger to life from poisoning where toxic process media leak from damaged connections
Sudden twisting of the turbopump in the event of a fault causes fittings to accelerate. There is the risk
of damaging on-site connections (e.g., fore-vacuum line) and resulting leaks. This results in leakage
of process media. In processes involving toxic media, there is a risk of injury and danger to life due to
poisoning.
►
Keep masses connected to the turbopump as low as possible.
►
Use flexible lines to connect to the turbopump where necessary.
Suitable backing pump
Use the turbopump only in combination with a suitable backing pump that can deliver up to
the required maximum fore-vacuum pressure. To achieve the fore-vacuum pressure, use a
suitable vacuum pump or a pumping station from the Pfeiffer Vacuum range.
In this case, the backing pump is also controlled directly via the turbopump electronic drive
unit interfaces (e.g., relay box or connection cable).
