1950840124_A Page 7
1.2. General safety precautions
WARNING: AUTOMATIC RESTART

Risk of injury and damage to equipment. If the pump has an automatic restart
function and it is set to on, the pump will restart automatically when the power is
restored after the power interruption.
CAUTION: RADIO INTERFERENCE

Risk of injury. In a domestic environment, the pump can cause radio
interference which requires supplementary mitigation measures.
▪ Obey the work safety requirements and regulations.

▪ Obey all the local site safety and operating procedures.
▪ If any of the statements do not match with the applicable legislation, the
stricter of the two statements takes priority.
▪ The personnel responsible for the installation, operation, maintenance and
repair work must be trained and approved by us.
▪ The pump is designed for handling atmospheric air only. Other gases, vapours
or fumes must not be exposed to the pump intake or processed by the pump.
▪ Before you do the maintenance, repair, adjustment or other non-routine
checks, refer to Preventive maintenance schedule on page 108.
▪ For units that have a supply from a frequency converter, wait for
10 minutes after disconnection before you start the electrical work.
▪ Do not rely on the indicator lamps or electrical door locks. Before you do
maintenance work, disconnect and check for electrical safety with a
measuring device.
▪ Do not touch the pump intake when the pump is in operation.
▪ Keep the pump in safe operating condition. Replace parts and accessories
that are not safe for operation.
▪ Do not walk or stand on the pump or on its components.
Note:
1. These precautions apply to a pump that processes or uses air or inert gas.
When the pump is used with other gases, it is necessary to use more safety
precautions.
2. Some precautions are general and are applicable for all types of pumps
and equipment. Some of the statements, might not apply to your pump.
3. If the installation, operation, maintenance, and repair is done without our
prior written approval, or if the pump is not installed in accordance with our
recommendations, we will not accept liability or warranty claims in accordance
with the standard terms and conditions.
1950840124_A Page 8
1.3. Safety precautions during installation

1. When you lift the pump, make sure that:
▪ you use the correct lifting equipment and you obey the local safety
regulations
▪ you tighten all the loose and movable parts before you lift the pump
▪ no personnel are in the risk zone below the lifted load
▪ the speed of the lifting equipment is in safety limits
▪ personnel wear safety helmets in the area of overhead or lifting
equipment.
2. The pump is made to be installed and used inside. If the pump is installed
outside, contact us.
3. Install the pump in an area with cool and clean air.
4. Do not cause an air inlet blockage.
5. Refer to Technical data on page 70 for liquid handling capacity.
6. Remove the blanking flanges, plugs, caps and desiccant bags before you
connect the pipes.
7. The vacuum connection and discharge pipes must be of correct size and
applicable for the working pressures and temperatures.
8. Do not use frayed, damaged or worn hoses.
9. Distribution pipes and connections must be of correct size and applicable for
the working pressures.
10. The inlet air must have no flammable fumes, vapours or particles (for
example, paint solvents can cause internal fire or explosions). Refer to the
material safety guidelines.
11. The external force on the inlet and outlet connection is 30 kg. Make sure that
there is no strain on the pipe connections. Supports must not be installed to
the external body (canopy) of the pump.
12. If a remote control is installed, the pump must have the sign that follows:
"Danger: The machine is remotely controlled and can start without a warning."
The operator must make sure that:
▪ the machine is stopped
▪ the electrical isolation switch is open
▪ the electrical isolation switch is locked with a temporary warning
attached before maintenance and repairs
Persons that use a remote controlled machine must obey the necessary
precautions. When you operate the machine you must make sure that no
one is working on the machine.
13. Air-cooled pump must be installed in such a way that an adequate flow of the
cooling air is available. Make sure that the exhausted air does not recirculate
to the pump air inlet or cooling air inlet.
14. For water-cooled pumps, the cooling water system installed outside the
machine has to be protected by a safety device with set pressure according to
the maximum cooling water inlet pressure.
1950840124_A Page 9
15. The electrical connections must be same as the applicable codes. Make sure
that the machines are grounded and protected against short circuits by fuses
in all phases. Install a power isolation switch near the pump. You must be able
to lock the power isolation switch.
16. The pumps with an automatic start/stop system or an Automatic Restart After
Voltage Failure (ARAVF) function must have the sign: "This pump can start
without warning" attached near to the instrument panel.
17. Do not remove or adjust the safety devices, guards or insulation installed on
the pump.
18. There are pipes and parts with temperatures more than 70 ˚C (158 ˚F). Install
insulation or guards to prevent contact with hot surfaces. All pipes and parts
with high temperatures must be clearly marked.
19. If the ground is not flat or it has slope, contact the manufacturer.
20. Make sure that the pump is compatible with the working environment.
21. If a pump is installed in a system with inlet gas‑stream temperatures more
than the maximum temperature permitted, contact us. The installation must be
approved by us before the pump is started.

1. Do not touch pipes or pump components during operation.
2. Use the correct type and size of hose end - fittings and connections. Make
sure that the hose is depressurised before you disconnect it.
3. Persons that use a remote-controlled machine must obey the necessary
precautions. Before you operate the machine you must make sure that no one
is working on the machine. If a remote control is installed, the pump must
have the sign that follows:
"Danger: The machine is remotely controlled and can start without warning."
4. Do not operate the pump:
▪ near flammable or toxic fumes, vapours or particles
▪ near oxidants or pyrophoric gas
▪ near the decomposition of gas
▪ outside the specified limit ratings.
5. Make sure that all bodywork doors are closed during the operation of the
pump. The doors can be opened for short periods (for example, routine
service operation). Persons must wear ear protection when the doors are
open. For pumps without external bodywork, ear protection must be worn near
the pump.
6. Persons must wear ear protection when the sound pressure level is equal to
or higher than 80 dB(A).
1950840124_A Page 10

▪ the guards are correctly installed
▪ the guards are in the correct position
▪ the hoses and pipes inside the pump are in serviceable condition
▪ there are no leaks
▪ the fasteners are tight
▪ the electrical leads are serviceable
▪ safety valves and other pressure relief devices are not clogged
▪ the inlet valve and the air net components (for example, pipes,
couplings, manifolds and valves) are in serviceable condition
▪ electrical cabinet air cooling filters are not clogged.
8. If warm cooling air coming out from the pumps is used in air heating systems
(for example, to warm up a workroom), take precautions against air pollution
and possible contamination of the breathing air.
9. Do not remove or adjust:
▪ the sound-damping material
▪ the safety devices
▪ the guards
▪ the insulation installed on the pump.
10. The oil separator tank can be slightly pressurised. Do not open the oil filler or
drain plugs, when the pump is in operation. Do not keep the oil filler or drain
plugs open when the pump is in operation.
11. Do not use the pump as a compressor.
12. Do not operate the pump without installing the air intake filter.
13. In open circuit cooling water towers on water‑cooled pumps, take protective
steps to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria (for example, legionella
pneumophila).
1.5. Safety precautions during maintenance or repair

1. Use the correct safety equipment (for example, safety glasses, gloves, safety
shoes).
2. Use the correct tools for maintenance and repair.
3. Use only genuine spare parts.
4. Do not start maintenance until the pump is cool.
5. Attach a warning sign "Work in progress, do not start" next to the pump before
you start the maintenance or repair.
6. Persons that use a remote-controlled machine must obey the necessary
precautions. Before you operate the machine you must make sure that no one
is working on the machine. Attach a sign next to the remote start equipment
as follows:
"Danger: The machine is remotely controlled and can start without warning."
1950840124_A Page 11
7. Before components are removed from the pump, make sure that:
▪ the pump is isolated from all sources of under and overpressure
▪ the pump is at atmospheric pressure.
8. Do not use flammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride to clean the parts.
Obey the safety precautions for toxic vapours of cleaning liquids.
9. During maintenance and repair:
A. clean the pump carefully with a clean cloth
B. install protective covers on the parts and openings of the pump.
10. Do not weld or do any operation involving heat near the oil system. Oil tanks
must be completely purged (for example, by steam cleaning) before you do
such operations. Do not weld or modify the pressure vessels.
11. If there is an indication or suspicion that an internal part of a pump is
overheated:
A. stop the pump
B. do not open the inspection covers until enough cooling time is
completed to prevent the risk of spontaneous ignition of the oil vapour.
12. Do not use a light source with an open flame to examine the inside of the
pump.
13. Make sure that no tools, parts or other items are left in or on the pump.
14. Be careful when you handle the regulating and safety devices. Make sure that
they operate correctly. For safety, do not disconnect the regulating and safety
devices.
15. Before you use the machine after maintenance or overhaul make sure that:
▪ the operating pressures, temperatures and time settings are correct
▪ the control and shutdown devices are installed, and they operate
correctly
▪ the coupling guard of the pump drive‑shaft is installed.
16. Every time the separator element is renewed, examine the discharge and the
inside of the oil separator vessel for carbon deposits. If there is excessive
carbon deposits, remove the carbon deposits.
17. Install protection to the motor, electrical and regulating components to prevent
damage from moisture when the pump is cleaned (for example, steam
cleaning).
18. Make sure that the sound‑damping material and vibration dampers of the
pump (for example, the sound‑damping material on the body and in the air
inlet and outlet systems) are in serviceable condition. Replace all damaged
material with genuine material from the manufacturer.
19. Do not use caustic solvents which can damage the materials of the air net (for
example, polycarbonate bowls).
20. Faults or wearing of seals can cause leakage of oil lubricant. Prevent the
dispersion in soil and pollution of the other materials.

2.1. Vacuum and flow rate
A vacuum is a pressure in a system that is less than the ambient atmospheric
pressure. It can be shown in absolute terms or in effective gauge terms:
▪ mbar(a) - the absolute pressure shows how much the pressure is above the
absolute zero vacuum.
▪ (minus) mbar(e) - the effective or gauge pressure shows how much the
pressure is below the local atmospheric pressure.
Flow rate definitions

The two ways to show the flow rate in a vacuum are:
1. The displacement or volumetric flow rate (Am³/hr)
2. Throughput or mass flow rate
Displacement/volumetric flow rate

For the relevant pressure range, when the pump operates at quasi constant
motor speed (rotations per minute) and since the compression chambers have
fixed dimensions, the same volume of air is pumped from inlet to outlet with
decrease in pressure level. Over the relevant pressure range, this makes the
volumetric flow rate quasi independent of the vacuum level. It is the expression of
the flow rate inside the piping at the governing vacuum level (Am³/hr) and is
always higher than the throughput or mass flow rate.
Throughput or mass flow rate

If the volumetric flow does not change with the decrease in pressure level, the
number of molecules in the volume of air can change. The deeper the vacuum,
the less number of molecules in the same volume of air.
The mass flow rate will decrease with a decrease in (absolute) pressure. A flow
rate must be shown at a specified vacuum level when you use throughput or
mass flow rate.
1950840124_A Page 13
General description
Figure 1 Vacuum and flow rate
1. Pressure 2. Atmospheric pressure

3. Typical pump range (400 mbar(a) to 4. Absolute vacuum
10 mbar(a))
Atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately 1 bar(a) or 1000 mbar(a).

The working range for the pumps is 400 mbar(a) to 10 mbar(a) (-600 mbar(e)
to -990 mbar(e)).
It is important to understand the type of reference to select a correct pressure
gauge to measure the vacuum. Note that the distinction does not matter for a
pressure difference (delta P, example, pressure loss), since it is always the result
of subtracting two pressures (as absolute or effective pressures).
Our pump uses volumetric flow rate to denote the performance.
2.2. Introduction
The pumps are single‑stage, oil‑sealed screw pumps driven by an electric motor.
The pumps are controlled by our controller.
The controller is attached to the front door. An electric cabinet is installed behind
the front door. The electric cabinet contains fuses, transformers, relays, etc.
The pumps use Variable Speed Drive (VSD) technology. The VSD technology
helps to automatically adjust the motor speed as necessary.
The pumps are available as air‑cooled, water‑cooled and energy recovery
versions. The pumps have a sound‑insulated canopy.

Air flow
Air comes in through the air intake filter and is displaced by the pump element. A
mixture of air and oil flows into the oil separator tank. After passing the air/oil
separator filter, clean air, conditioned to a few parts per million, is released
through the outlet.
Oil system
The oil separator tank removes most of the oil from the air/oil mixture by the
centrifugal action. The oil separator removes the remaining oil. The oil collects in
the lower part of the oil separator tank.
The oil system has a thermostatic bypass valve. When the oil temperature is less
than 83 °C (181 °F) (87 °C (189 °F) for the optional high‑water handling capacity
versions), the bypass valve stops the oil supply from the air/oil cooler or water/oil
cooler.
The air pressure pushes the oil from the oil separator tank through the oil filter.
The air/oil cooler or water/oil cooler is bypassed. When the oil temperature
1950840124_A Page 18
General description
increases up to 83 °C (181 °F) (87 °C (189 °F) for the optional high‑water
handling capacity versions), the bypass valve starts the supply from the air/oil
cooler or water/oil cooler. At approximately 95 °C (203 °F) (104 °C (219 °F) for
the optional high‑water handling capacity versions), all the oil flows through the
air/oil cooler or water/oil cooler. The filtered oil flows into the pump element.
Cooling
The cooling system has an air/oil cooler or water/oil cooler.
The fan blows air over the air/oil cooler. The fan is set to on or off, depending on
the operating conditions, as per the specific algorithm.
2.4. Condensate system

When discharge pipes are used, water in the discharge air can condense in the
pipes. This water is collected in the collector of the outlet pipe where a drain point
is available.
Initially, the drain point is connected to the external valve. Prevent condensate
collection in the oil separator to extend the oil life. Refer local regulations which
are applicable for water drainage.
Figure 8 Condensate system
1. Drain point
2.5. Regulating system

If the vacuum process demand is less than the throughput of the pump, the
vacuum pressure decreases. When the pressure is lower than the set‑point
(necessary vacuum pressure), the regulator decreases the motor speed.
If the vacuum pressure decreases and the motor operates at minimum speed,
the regulator stops the motor. When the motor is stopped automatically and the
vacuum pressure reaches the set‑point, the regulator starts the motor again.
1950840124_A Page 19
General description
Turbo version
The regulation system of the turbo version can handle fast cycling duties. When
the vacuum pressure reaches the set‑point, the regulator will keep the motor
operating at increased speed for an adjustable time before the regulator
decreases the motor speed.
2.6. Electrical system

Elektronikon® graphic controller
3. Elektronikon® graphic controller

3.1. Introduction
The controller automatically changes the motor speed to keep the pressure in
programmable limits.
The functions of the controller are as follows:
▪ to control the pump
▪ to protect the pump
▪ to monitor the components and their service life
▪ ARAVF (not in operation).
Automatic control of the pump operation

The controller automatically changes the motor speed to keep the pressure in
programmable limits.
The pump has different programmable settings. For example:
▪ the set point
▪ the minimum stop time
▪ the maximum number of motor starts.
All the different programmable settings are used for the operation of the pump.
The controller:
▪ stops or decreases the speed of the pump to decrease the power
consumption
▪ restarts the pump automatically when the pressure decreases.
The high water‑handling‑capability pumps have a purge cycle. The purge cycle
stops and removes condensed water from the sealing oil.
Note:
A number of time‑based automatic start/stop command can be programmed. A
start command will be executed (if programmed and activated), even after
manually stopping the pump.
Protect the pump
Shutdown
The pump has sensors to detect the pump performance parameters. If any
parameter is more than the programmed shutdown limit, the pump will stop. A
fault code will be shown on the display and a general alarm LED flashes. To
restart the pump you must correct the fault and reset the fault code. Refer to
Inputs menu on page 31.
Shutdown warning
A shutdown warning limit is a programmable limit below the shutdown limit.
1950840124_A Page 21
If one measurement is more or less than the programmed shutdown warning

limit, a message shows on the display and a general alarm LED flashes. These
tell the operator the shutdown warning limit is exceeded.
When the fault is corrected, the message goes out of view and the general alarm
LED does not flash.
Warning
A warning message shows if:
▪ Element outlet temperature is too high
▪ Pump discharge pressure is too high
▪ Purge cycle was not completed (temperature has not reached the value in the
given time).
Service warning
Specified service operations are put together in service plans. Each service plan
has a programmed time interval (service interval). All the service operations must
be done before the end of the service interval. If the service interval elapses and
a service operation are not done, a message will be shown on the display to do
the applicable service operations.
Automatic Restart After Voltage Failure (ARAVF)
WARNING: AUTOMATIC RESTART OF THE PUMP

Risk of injury. If the automatic operation mode in the controller is activated, the
pump will automatically restart if the supply voltage to the module is restored.
The controller has an ARAVF function which automatically restarts the pump, if
the voltage is reconnected after voltage failure. Initially this function does not
operate. If you want the ARAVF function to operate, contact our customer centre.

Example for service level (A):

The figures at the left are the programmed service intervals. For the service
interval A, the programmed number of running hours is 4000 hours (upper row)
and the programmed number of real time hours is 8760 hours, which
corresponds to one year (second row). This means that the controller will launch
a service warning when 4000 running hours or 8760 real hours are reached,
whichever comes first.
1950840124_A Page 40
Note:
Even when the controller is not powered, the real time hours counter keeps
counting.
The figures in the bars are the number of hours to go till the next service
intervention. In the example above, the pump was just started up, which means it
still has 4000 running hours or 8280 hours before the next service intervention.
Service plans
A number of service operations are grouped (called Level A, Level B, etc.). Each
level stands for a number of service actions to be done at the time intervals
programmed in the controller. When a service plan interval is reached, a

to the company network or to a dedicated PC through a Local Area Network
1950840124_A Page 59
(LAN). This permits to check some data and settings through a PC instead of
the display of the controller.
▪ If the pump has a SMARTBOX, the network connection of the controller is
already in use. To let the web server function, the network cable must be
unplugged from the SMARTBOX and replaced by the cable of the company
network. If the web sever and the SMARTBOX are necessary at the same
time, contact the local customer centre.
Configure a dedicated PC connection

▪ Make sure that you are logged in as administrator to change the IP settings.
▪ Use the internal network card from your computer or an USB to LAN network
card.

Note:
- The voltage on the pump terminals must not deviate more than 10% of the
nominal voltage.
- It is recommended to keep the voltage drop over the supply cables at nominal
current below 5% of the nominal voltage (IEC 60204‑1).
- If cables are grouped together with other power cables, it can be necessary to
use cables of a larger size than those calculated for the standard operating
conditions.
- Use the original cable entry. Refer to Figure: Dimension drawing.
- To keep the IP protection degree of the electric cubicle and to protect its
components from dust from the environment, it is mandatory to use a correct
cable gland when you connect the supply cable to the pump.
- Local regulations remain applicable if they are stricter than the values given in
the manual.
Leakage breaker (optional)

If a leakage breaker is necessary for installation, use an all current sensitive
leakage breaker, RCM or RCD Type B (refer to IEC/EN 60755). Make sure that
the leakage breaker has a sufficient trip level.

Calculation method for IEC:

▪ Single supply cables (3 phases + PE - configuration (1)):
▪ Add 10% to the total pump current (Itot from the tables)
▪ Install the specified fuse on each cable.
▪ Parallel supply cable (2 x 3 phases + PE - configuration (2)):
1950840124_A Page 85
Technical data
▪ Add 10% to the total pump current (Itot from the tables) and divide by 2
▪ Multiply the ampacity of the cables with 0.8 (refer to table A.52.17
(52‑E1))
▪ Install fuses of half the size of the recommended maximum fuse size
on each cable.
▪ When using 2 x 3 phases + PE as in (3):
▪ Add 10% to the total pump current (Itot from the tables) and divide by
√3
▪ Multiply the ampacity of the cables with 0.8 (refer to table A.52.17
(52‑E1))
▪ Fuse size: the recommended maximum fuse size divided by √3 on
each cable.
▪ Size of the PE cable:
▪ For supply cables up to 35 mm²: same size as supply cables
▪ For supply cables larger than 35 mm²: half the size of the supply wires
▪ Always check the voltage drop over the cable (less than 5% of the
nominal voltage is recommended).
▪ Example: Itot= 89 A, maximum ambient temperature is 45 °C,
recommended fuse = 100 A
▪ Single supply cables (3 phases + PE - configuration (1)):
▪ I = 89 A + 10% = 89 x 1.1 = 97.9 A
▪ The table for B2 and ambient temperature = 45 °C permits a maximum
current of 93 A for a 50 mm² cable. For a cable of 70 mm², the
maximum permitted current is 118 A, which is sufficient. Use a
3 x 70 mm² + 35 mm² cable.
If method C is used, 50 mm² is sufficient. (35 mm² for method F) =>cable
3 x 50 mm² + 25 mm².
▪ Parallel supply cable (2 x 3 phases + PE - configuration (2)):
▪ I = (89 A + 10%)/2 = (89 x 1.1)/2 = 49 A
▪ For a cable of 25 mm², B2 at 45 °C, the maximum current is
63 A x 0.8 = 50.4 A. So, 2 parallel cables of 3 x 25 mm² + 25 mm² are
sufficient.
▪ Install 50 A fuses on each cable instead of 100 A.

Calculation method for UL:

▪ Single supply cables (3 phases + 1 PE - configuration (1)):
▪ Add 25% to the total current from the tables (refer to UL 508A 28.3.2:
“Capacity shall have 125% of the full load current”)
▪ Install the specified maximum fuse on each cable.
▪ Parallel supply cable (2 x 3 phases + 2 PE - configuration (2)):
▪ Add 25% to the total current from the tables and divide by 2
▪ Multiply the capacity of the cables with 0.8 (refer to UL 508A table 28.1
continued)
▪ Install fuses of half the size of the recommended maximum fuse size
on each cable.
▪ When using 2 x 3 phase + 2 PE as in (3):
▪ Add 25% to the total current from the tables and divide by √3
▪ Multiply the capacity of the cables with 0.8 (refer to UL 508A table 28.1
continued)
▪ Fuse size: the recommended maximum fuse size divided by √3 on
each cable.
▪ Size of the PE cable:
▪ For supply cables up to AWG8: use same size as the supply cables
▪ For supply cables larger than AWG8: use maximum permitted capacity.
< 100 A use AWG8
< 200 A use AWG6
< 300 A use AWG4
Always check the voltage drop over the cable (less than 5% of the nominal
voltage is recommended).
Example of supply cable calculation: Itot= 128 A, maximum ambient temperature
is 45 °C, recommended fuse = 150 A.
▪ Single supply cables (3 phases + 1 PE - configuration (1)):
▪ I = 128 A + 25% = 128 x 1.25 = 160 A
▪ For AWG2/0, the maximum current is 175 A, which is sufficient => use
AWG2/0
▪ Install the specified maximum fuse (150 A) on each cable.
▪ Parallel supply cable (2 x 3 phases + 2 PE - configuration (2)):
1950840124_A Page 87
Technical data
▪ I = (128 A + 25%)/2 = (128 x 1.25)/2 = 80 A

▪ For an AWG4, the maximum current is 85 A x 0.8 = 68 A, which is not
sufficient. For an AWG3, the maximum current is 100 x 0.8 = 80 A. So,
2 parallel cables of 3 x AWG3 + 2 x AWG8 are sufficient.
▪ Install 80 A fuses on each cable.
4.5. Cooling water requirement

The cooling water must have specified requirements to prevent problems of
scaling, fouling, corrosion, bacterial growth.
Note:
In open circuit cooling towers, take applicable protective measures to prevent the
growth of harmful bacteria (for example, legionella pneumophila) when there is a
risk of inhalation of the water droplets.
General recommendations cannot include all the effects of combinations of the
various compounds, solids and gases that are in the cooling water (in interaction
with the different materials). The recommendations given in the cooling water
specifications are a general guideline for the permitted coolant quality. A
statement is given in the specification where the strict limits are necessary.
The water requirements are applicable for the untreated water. When the water is
treated, some parameters will change.
The water treatments should be done by a specialised water treatment company
(taking the responsibility for the performance of the treated cooling water and the
compatibility with the materials in the cooling circuit). This includes:
▪ selection of the correct additives
▪ selection of the correct application
▪ monitoring the concentrations and properties
▪ prevention of the sludge formation
▪ maintenance of the system.
This is also applicable to the treatment with the antifreeze products. The
antifreeze products must be given with applicable stabilisers and inhibitors. The
specifications depends on the:
▪ type of the cooling circuit: open, once through/recirculating with tower/closed.
▪ application:
▪ Standard - maximum 65 °C cooling water temperature at the outlet
▪ Energy recovery - water temperature up to 95 °C
If the water is not as per the recommended values or you are not sure about the
quality of the water, contact the manufacturer.
Water requirements for closed water circuits

The use of a closed water circuit minimises the make‑up water requirements.
The use of soft or demineralised water is economically feasible and removes the
problem of scale deposits. The water circuit is made of the stainless steel, the
corrosion inhibitors for the water circuit connected to the pump can be necessary.
1950840124_A Page 88
Technical data
Refer to Cooling water requirement on page 88 to minimise the problems

because of the bad water quality. If in doubt, contact us.
Water requirements for open water circuits

For the open, non-recirculation water circuits, the problems are related to deposit
control, corrosion control and microbiological growth control. To minimize the
problems, the water must meet the requirements given in Cooling water
requirement on page 88. If in doubt, contact us.
Cooling water parameters
pH
The effect of pH is included in the Ryznar Stability Index (RSI). The pH itself is
subjected to limitations:
Type of cooling pH
Materials
system Standard
Contains copper 6.8 - 9.3
Stainless steel with carbon steel
Single pass 6.8 - 9.3
and/or cast iron
Stainless steel only 6.0 - 9.3
Recirculating (with Stainless steel with carbon steel
6.8 - 9.3
tower) and/or cast iron
Stainless steel with carbon steel
Closed loop 7.5 - 9.3
and/or cast iron
When the system contains Zn or Al, the pH must be < 8.5.
Total dissolved solids (TDS) and conductivity

The conductivity is given in S/cm. The TDS is given in ppm.
The conductivity and the TDS are related with each other. The conductivity is
convenient for quick monitoring of general water quality. The TDS is necessary
for calculating the RSI. If only one of the parameters is measured, you can get
the estimation by using a theoretical conversion factor (0.67):
TDS = Conductivity x 0.67
Hardness
Different types of hardness are in relation with each other. Different types of
hardness with the pH and the alkalinity of the water give the equilibrium situation
of the water (given and specified by the RSI).
The calcium hardness must be limited to:
1950840124_A Page 89
Technical data
Ca (ppm CaCO3)
Type of cooling system
Standard
Single pass < 500
Recirculating (with tower) < 500
Closed loop < 1000
The Ryznar Stability Index (RSI)

The RSI is a parameter to predict if the water will tend to dissolve or precipitate
calcium carbonate. The adhesion of scaling depositions and their effects are
different on different materials. The equilibrium of the water (scaling or corrosive)
is calculated by its actual pH value and saturation pH value (pHs). The saturation
pH value is calculated by the relationship between the calcium hardness, the
total alkalinity, the total solids concentration, and the temperature.
RSI is calculated as follows:
RSI = 2*pHs - pH,
in which,
▪ pH = measured pH (at room temperature) of the water sample
▪ pHs= pH at saturation
pHs is calculated from:
pHs = (9.3 + A + B) - (C + D),
in which:
▪ A: depends on the total solids concentration
▪ B: depends on the water temperature at the outlet of the water/oil cooler
▪ C: depends on the calcium hardness (CaCO3)
▪ D: depends on the HCO3 concentration or M-alkalinity
The values of A, B, C and D are given in the table that follows:

6.2. Installation proposal

Do the analysis of the risks before you remove the packaging of the system.
Install the pump on a level surface that:
▪ is clean
▪ is vibration free
▪ has sufficient lighting
▪ is ventilated
▪ supports the weight of the pump.
The complete length of the frame base must be supported. Add a shim where it
is necessary. Do not use wood.
Make sure that the ambient temperature is not more than the specified
temperature given.
All models are intended for indoor installation.
Do not locate the pump where the hot exhaust air from other pumps or heat
generating equipment can be drawn into the pump. Never prevent the flow of
exhaust air from the fluid cooler.
Release the hot exhaust air outside, to prevent the high ambient conditions in the
room.
Isolation of the energy sources is the responsibility of the user. The isolation
valve is necessary in the installation.
The electrical connection must be in accordance with all local and national safety
standards.
1950840124_A Page 96
Installation
Figure 16 Installation proposal
A. Isolation valve
Note:
A sufficient space is necessary (1 m of clearance on all sides and top of the
pump) for the safe and correct installation, daily inspection and maintenance.
1950840124_A Page 97
Installation
6.3. Piping
The vacuum distribution and piping system, including the pump and all related
components, must be designed in accordance with generally accepted
engineering practices. For example, inlet pipe work should slope away from the
pump. Incorrectly designed distribution systems can cause the damage to the
pump. Exhaust pipes should be installed in such a way that they do not create
additional back pressure on the pump.
The exhaust pipes should be installed sloping away from the pump.
A drip leg with a drain point provision is given in the pump to prevent the
condensate to go back into the fluid reservoir.
Take precautions to prevent the installation of the pipes in a strain with the pump.
Use sufficient pipe diameter for the vacuum network. The combination of
restrictive pipe diameter and long pipes can create a pressure drop. For the
single pump installation, keep the diameter of the pump inlet as far into the
process as possible.
We recommend to install an isolation valve at the inlet of the pump to isolate the
pump from vacuum distribution and piping system before you do the
maintenance.
The discharge air can have temperature up to 120 °C (248 °F), make sure that
the pipes can take this temperature.
The external force extended on the inlet connection is limited to 200 kg. The
external force extended on the outlet connection is limited to 50 kg. The
connection pipes must be free from strain.
The pump has an inlet filter. But related to the application, an additional inlet
filtration upfront the pump can be necessary.
We recommended to install an isolation valve at inlet and outlet of the air and
water pipes to isolate the pump from the vacuum distribution and piping system
before you do the maintenance.
Remove the dust caps from the cooling water inlet and outlet. Connect the water
hoses to the water inlet and outlet ports. Check the water hoses, pipelines and
connections that there are no leaks.
6.4. Ventilation
Install the inlet grids and the ventilation fan to prevent the recirculation of the
cooling air to the inlet grating of the pump. The air velocity to the grids must not
be more than 5 m/s.
The maximum air temperature at the intake opening for 3 ph is 46 °C (115 °F)
and for 1 ph is 32 °C (90 °F), (minimum 0 °C / 32 °F).
The ventilation alternative 1 and 3: The necessary ventilation to limit the pump
room temperature is calculated from:
Qv = SF * Pnom / (1.21 * dT)
Where,
1950840124_A Page 98
Installation
Qv = necessary cooling air flow (m³/s)

SF= Service factor of motor
Pnom = Nominal motor power of the pump (kW)
dT= Temperature increase in the pump room (°C)
Ventilation alternative 2 and 4:
The fan capacity should match the pump-fan capacity at a pressure head equal
to the pressure drop caused by the cooling air ducts.
Maximum permitted pressure drop in ducting before or after the pump = 10 Pa.
Outdoor/altitude operation
The pumps are designed according to the IP2X classification. The electrical
cabinet and motor are designed according to the IP54 classification. If the pump
is installed outdoors, special precautions must be taken. Contact us.
The pumps can only be used in temperatures above 0 °C (+32 °F). If frost
occurs, take applicable protective steps to prevent damage to the pump and its
ancillary equipment. In this case, contact us.
If it is necessary to operate the pump at more than 1000 m (3300 ft), contact us.
6.5. Position the pump
WARNING: HEAVY OBJECT

Risk of injury and damage to the equipment. Do not lift the pump if the external
body (canopy) parts or lifting supports are not fully installed. When the pump is
being lifted, do not stand below the load or do maintenance.
▪ Use correct lifting equipment (fork-lift truck or pallet truck) to move the pump
on its pallet, near to the installation area.
▪ The pumps can be moved by a lift truck using the slots in the frame.
▪ Lift the pump vertically.
▪ Carefully lift the pump without twisting.
▪ Before lifting, install the transport securing bolts.
▪ Make sure that the forks extend to the other side of the frame.
▪ The pumps can also be lifted after you insert beams in the slots.
▪ Make sure that the beams do not slide and extend uniformly from the frame.
▪ Hold the chains parallel to the bodywork by the chain spreaders to prevent
damage to the pump.

6.6. Acclimatization
CAUTION: MOISTURE FORMATION

Risk of damage to equipment. To prevent moisture that can damage the
electrical components, make sure that a minimum of 2 hours of acclimatization
is done before you start the pump.
When you move the pump to the installation room, condensation can occur on
some components. Make sure that the pump is left idle for minimum 2 hours to
adjust in the installation room condition.
6.7. Electrical connections
CAUTION: NETWORK CONNECTIONS

Risk of injury. Take special safety precautions when you use the machines
controlled by a frequency converter. The safety precautions depend on the type
of network used (TN, TT, IT system). Contact us for information.
Most pumps are designed for use in TT/TN networks and are intended for an
industrial environment where the electrical supply is separated from the
residential/commercial supply network.
To use the pump in light industrial, commercial or residential environments with a
shared supply network, or in an IT network, extra precautions are necessary.

Vacuum fluid basic

The vacuum fluid basic is a mineral fluid specially developed lubricant for use in
single stage oil‑sealed screw pumps. Its specific composition keeps the pump in
excellent condition. The vacuum mineral fluid can be used for the pumps that
operates at the ambient temperatures between 0 °C (32 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F).
If the pump regularly operates in the ambient temperatures above 35 °C (95 °F),
the oil lifetime decreases significantly. In such case, use our vacuum synthetic
fluid for a longer interval for oil exchange.
If the pump regularly operates in the ambient temperatures more than 35 °C
(95 °F), the oil lifetime decreases.
Vacuum fluid premium and ultra

The vacuum fluid premium and ultra are high quality synthetic lubricant for
oil‑sealed screw pumps which keeps the pump in excellent condition. Because of
its excellent oxidation stability, vacuum synthetic fluid can be used for the pumps
that operates at the ambient temperatures between 0 °C (32 °F) and 46 °C
(115 °F).
If the pump regularly operates in the ambient temperatures more than 40 °C
Vacuum fluid FG (food grade)

The vacuum fluid FG is a special oil, delivered as an option.
The vacuum fluid FG is a unique high‑quality synthetic lubricant, specially
created for oil‑sealed screw pumps for the food industry. This lubricant keeps the
pump in excellent condition. The vacuum food grade fluid can be used for the
pumps that operates at the ambient temperatures between 0 °C (32 °F) and
40 °C (104 °F).
