Figure 6 Lifting the Cryopump with Commercial Lift Equipment
Compressor Position
Place the compressor in a location that is protected from the elements and where the ambient
temperature will always be within the range specified in the Cooling Requirements section of the
Compressor manual.
AVOID EQUIPMENT DAMAGE. Always thoroughly drain the coolant from the
cooling circuit if the compressor is to be shipped or stored.
The compressor must be installed base down, within 5 degrees of level, and preferably at
a height convenient for making connections and reading the gauges. Be sure the compressor
cannot inadvertently roll from its location, particularly if it is elevated.
Allow at least 610-mm (24") clearance from the front, rear and from both sides of the
compressor for maintenance.
Compressor Checkout
The compressor should be operated before being connected to the system.
1. Use plastic tubing, nuts and ferrules from the compressor installation kit to connect coolant
supply and return lines to the compression water fittings on the compressor. Connect the
supply line to the supply valve furnished and installed by customer. Turn on the coolant and
check lines for leaks. Tighten fittings if necessary. See Specifications in the Compressor
manual for cooling requirements.
