7. Before removing any component, effectively isolate the machine from all sources of under- and/or
overpressure and make sure that the pump system is at atmospheric pressure level.
8. Never use flammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride for cleaning parts. Take safety precautions
against toxic vapours of cleaning liquids.
9. Scrupulously observe cleanliness during maintenance and repair. Keep dirt away by covering the parts
and exposed openings with a clean cloth, paper or tape.
10. Never weld or perform any operation involving heat near the oil system. Oil tanks must be completely
purged, e.g. by steam cleaning, before carrying out such operations. Never weld on, or in any way
modify, pressure vessels.
11. Whenever there is an indication or any suspicion that an internal part of a machine is overheated, the
machine shall be stopped but no inspection covers shall be opened before sufficient cooling time has
elapsed; this to avoid the risk of spontaneous ignition of the oil vapour when air is admitted.
12. Never use a light source with open flame for inspecting the interior of a machine, pressure vessel, etc.
13. Make sure that no tools, loose parts or rags are left in or on the machine.
14. All regulating and safety devices shall be maintained with due care to ensure that they function
properly. They may not be put out of action.
15. Before clearing the machine for use after maintenance or overhaul, check that operating pressures,
temperatures and time settings are correct. Check that all control and shut-down devices are fitted and
that they function correctly. If removed, check that the coupling guard of the vacuum pump drive shaft
has been reinstalled.

16. Every time the separator element is renewed, examine the discharge and the inside of the oil separator
vessel for carbon deposits; if excessive, the deposits should be removed.
17. Protect the motor, air filter, electrical and regulating components, etc. to prevent moisture from entering
them, e.g. when steam cleaning.
18. Make sure that all sound damping material and vibration dampers, e.g. damping material on the
bodywork and in the air inlet and outlet systems of the vacuum pump are in good condition. If
damaged, replace it by genuine material from the manufacturer to prevent the sound pressure level
from increasing.
19. Never use caustic solvents which can damage materials of the air net, e.g. polycarbonate bowls.
20. Faults or wearing of seals may cause oil lubricant leaks. Avoid dispersion in soil and pollution of other
materials.
Also consult sections Safety precautions during installation and Safety precautions
during operation.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas.
Processing of any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to the
application which are not included herein.

2 General description
2.1 What is vacuum and how is flow rate understood
What is vacuum and how to denote

A vacuum is any pressure in a system that is below the ambient atmospheric pressure. It can be denoted
in absolute terms or in effective (gauge) terms:
• mbar(a) – absolute pressure – denotes how much the pressure is above absolute zero vacuum.
• (minus) mbar(e) – the effective or gauge pressure – denotes how much the pressure is below the local
atmospheric pressure.
Reference Designation
1 Pressure
2 Absolute vacuum
3 Typical GHS pump working range (400 mbar(a) – 10 mbar(a))
4 Atmospheric pressure
Atmospheric pressure at sea level is roughly 1 bar or 1000 mbar. A typical working range for the GHS pumps
is 400 mbar(a) to 10 mbar(a). From the illustration it can be seen clearly that this range is also equivalent to
-600 mbar(e) and -990 mbar(e).
It is important to understand which type of reference is required before selecting a pressure instrument for
measuring the vacuum. It must be noted that the distinction doesn't matter for a pressure difference (delta P;
e.g. pressure loss), since it is always the result of subtracting 2 pressures (whether stated as absolute or
effective pressures).
Flow rate definitions

There are two common but different ways to denote flow rate in vacuum. The first one is based on the
displacement or volumetric flow rate and the second one is based on the throughput or mass flow rate.
Atlas Copco vacuum pumps use volumetric flow rate to denote performance, the unit being Am³/hr.
Displacement/volumetric flow rate
For the relevant pressure range, when a GHS 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 falling 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 always higher than the throughput in mass flow rate.
12 6996 0223 10
Instruction book
Throughput in mass flow rate

Even if the volumetric flow rate is quasi unchanged with falling pressure level, the number of molecules in
that pumped volume is not. By definition: the deeper the vacuum, the lower the amount of molecules in the
same volume of air. This means that the mass flow will decrease with decreasing (absolute) pressure. It is
clear that a flow rate must be stated at a certain vacuum level when using this denotation.
2.2 Introduction
The GHS 1300 VSD+ up to GHS 1900 VSD+ are single-stage, oil-sealed screw vacuum pumps driven by
an electric motor.
The vacuum pumps are controlled by the Atlas Copco Elektronikon® Graphic regulator (5).
The regulator is fitted to the front door. An electric cabinet (7) comprising fuses, transformers, relays, etc. is
located behind this door.
The vacuum pumps use VSD (Variable Speed Drive) technology. This means: automatic adjustment of the
motor speed, depending on the process demand.
The vacuum pumps are air-cooled and are enclosed in a sound-insulated bodywork.

Instruction book
Air flow
Air comes in through air intake filter (8) and vacuum control valve (12) and is displaced by the vacuum pump
element (13).
A mixture of air and oil flows into the oil separator tank (11).
After passing the air/oil separator filter, clean air, conditioned to a few parts per million, is discharged
through the outlet.
Oil system
The oil separator tank (11) removes most of the oil from the air/oil mixture by centrifugal action. The oil
separator (OS) removes the remaining oil. The oil collects in the lower part of the oil separator tank (11)
which serves as oil tank.
The oil system has a thermostatic bypass valve (10). When the oil temperature is below 80 °C (176 °F)
(87°C (189° F) for optional high-water handling capacity versions), the bypass valve shuts off the oil
supply from the oil cooler (3).
Air pressure forces the oil from oil separator tank through the oil filter (9). The oil cooler (3) is bypassed.
When the oil temperature has increased up to 80°C (176 °F) (87°C (189° F) for optional high-water
handling capacity versions), bypass valve (BV) starts opening the supply from the oil cooler (3). At
approx. 95°C (203 °F) (104°C (219° F) for optional high water handling capacity versions), all the oil
flows through the oil cooler. The filtered oil flows into the vacuum pump element (13).
Cooling
The cooling system has an oil cooler (3).
The fan (15) blows air over the coolers. This fan is set to run on or off, depending on the operating
conditions, according to a specific algorithm.
2.4 Condensate system
When discharge piping is used, water in the discharge air can condense in the piping and is accumulated
in the collector of the outlet pipe, where a drain point (Dr) is available.
When the pump leaves the factory, this drain point is connected with the external valve (EV). Preventing
condensate collection in the oil separator will extend oil life.
Consult local regulations, which are applicable for water drainage.
16 6996 0223 10
Instruction book
2.5 Regulating system

Description
If the vacuum process demand is less than the throughput of the vacuum pump, the vacuum pressure
decreases. When the pressure is lower than the set-point (desired 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 comes to the set-point, the
regulator starts the motor again.
Turbo version
The regulation system of the turbo version is designed to handle fast cycling duties. When the vacuum
pressure reaches the set-point, the regulator will keep the motor running at increased speed for an
adjustable time before the regulator decreases the motor speed.

3.1 Elektronikon® graphic controller

Control panel
Display of the Elektronikon® graphic controller
Introduction
The Elektronikon® controller has following functions:
• Controlling the vacuum pump

• Protecting the vacuum pump
• Monitoring components subject to service
• Automatic restart after voltage failure (made inactive)
Automatic control of the vacuum pump operation

The controller maintains the pressure within programmable limits by automatically adapting the motor
speed. A number of programmable settings, e.g. the setpoint, the minimum stop time and the maximum
number of motor starts and several other parameters are hereby taken into account.
The controller stops or reduces the speed of the vacuum pump whenever possible to reduce the power
consumption and restarts it automatically when the pressure decreases. For High Water Handling
Capability pumps, the pump is equipped with a purge cycle which prevents and removes condensed water
in the sealing oil.
A number of time based automatic start/stop command may be programmed. Take

into account that a start command will be executed (if programmed and activated),
even after manually stopping the vacuum pump.
18 6996 0223 10
Instruction book
Protecting the Vacuum pump
Shut-down
Several sensors are provided on the vacuum pump. If one of the measurements succeeds the
programmed shut down level, the vacuum pump will be stopped. This will be indicated on display (1) and
general alarm LED (2) will blink.
Remedy the trouble and reset the message. See also the Inputs menu.
Before remedying, consult the Safety precautions.
Shut-down warning
A shut-down warning level is a programmable level below the shut-down level.

If one of the measurements succeeds the programmed shut-down warning level, a message will appear on
display (1) and general alarm LED(2) will light up, to warn the operator that the shut-down warning level is
exceeded.
The message disappears as soon as the warning condition disappears.
Warning
A warning message will appear if:

- Element outlet temperature is too high
- Pump discharge pressure is too high
- Purge cycle was not successful (temperature not reached within requested time)
Service warning
A number of service operations are grouped (called Service Plans). Each service plan has a programmed
time interval. If a time interval is exceeded, a message will appear on display (1) to warn the operator to
carry out the service actions belonging to that service plan.
Automatic restart after voltage failure
The regulator has a built-in function to automatically restart the vacuum pump if the voltage is restored
after voltage failure. For vacuum pumps leaving the factory, this function is made inactive. If desired, the
function can be activated. Consult the Atlas Copco customer center.
If activated and provided the regulator was in the automatic operation mode, the
vacuum pump will automatically restart if the supply voltage to the module is
restored.

Example for service level (A):

The figures at the left are the programmed service intervals. For 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 either 4000 running hours or 8760 real hours are reached, whichever comes first. Note that
the real-time hours counter keeps counting, also when the controller is not powered.
The figures within the bars are the number of hours to go till the next service intervention. In the example

• All Elektronikon Mk5 controllers have a built-in web server that allows direct connection to the company
network or to a dedicated PC via a local area network (LAN). This allows to consult certain data and
settings via a PC instead of the display of the controller.
• If the compressor is equipped with a SMARTBOX, the network connection of the Elektronikon is already
in use. To allow the web server functionality, the network cable that is connected to the SMARTBOX
should be unplugged and replaced by the cable of the company network. If both the web server
functionality and SMARTBOX are required, please contact your local Atlas Copco Customer Centre for
support.
Configure a dedicated PC connection

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

element outlet is programmed at 95 °C (203 °F), the minimum limit for the shut-down level
changes to 96 °C (204 °F). The recommended difference between the warning level

1) Location:
Locate the vacuum pump on a level surface that is clean, well lit, well ventilated and capable taking the
weight of the pump. The entire length of the frame base must be supported. Shim where necessary (do not
use wood).
Ambient temperature should not exceed temperatures listed on the specifications.
All models are intended for indoor installation.
Do not locate the unit where the hot exhaust air from other vacuum pumps or heat generating equipment
may be drawn into the unit. Never restrict the flow of exhaust air from the fluid cooler.
The heated exhaust air must be exhausted to the outside to prevent high ambient conditions in the room.
Allow sufficient space (1 m of clearance on all sides and top of the vacuum pump) for safe installation,
inspection and maintenance.
2) Piping connections:
The vacuum distribution and piping system, including the vacuum pump and all related components, must
be designed in accordance with generally accepted engineering practices. For instance, inlet pipe work
should slope away from the vacuum pump. Improperly designed distribution systems can cause damage to
the vacuum pump. Exhaust piping should be installed in such a manner as to not create additional back
pressure on the vacuum pump. Also, the exhaust piping should be installed sloping away from the vacuum
pump.
A drip leg with drain point provision is foreseen available inside the vacuum pump, to prevent condensate
from running back into the fluid reservoir.
Care must be taken to avoid assembling the piping in a strain with the vacuum pump.
It is very important to use adequate pipe diameter for the vacuum network. The combination of restrictive
pipe diameter and long pipe runs can create significant pressure drop. A rule of thumb on single vacuum
pump installations: maintain the diameter of the vacuum pump inlet as far into the process as possible.
It is recommended to install an isolation valve at the inlet of the vacuum pump, to isolate the pump from
vacuum distribution and piping system before performing maintenance.
The discharge air can run up to 120 °C (248 °F), piping should be suitable to handle this temperature.
3) Ventilation:
The inlet grid(s) and ventilation fan should be installed in such a way that any recirculation of cooling air to
the inlet grating of the vacuum pump is avoided. The air velocity to the grid(s) has to be limited to 5m/s.
The maximum air temperature at intake opening is 46°C (115°F), (minimum 0°C / 32°F)
6996 0223 10 67
Instruction book
Ventilation alternative 1 and 3: The required ventilation to limit vacuum pump room temperature can be
calculated from:
Qv = SF * Pnom / (1.21 * dT)
Where:
Qv = Required cooling air flow (m³/s)
SF= Service factor of Motor (-)
Pnom = Nominal motor power of vacuum pump (kW)
dT= Temperature increase in vacuum pump room (°C)
Ventilation alternative 2 and 4: The fan capacity should match the vacuum pump fan capacity at a
pressure head equal to the pressure drop caused by cooling air ducts.
Maximum allowable pressure drop in ducting before or after the vacuum pump = 10 Pa.
Safety
Apply all relevant safety precautions, including those mentioned in this book.
Outdoor/altitude operation
The vacuum pumps are designed according to IP2X classification. The electrical cabinet and motor are
designed according to IP54 classification. If the unit is installed outdoors, special precautions must be
taken; consult Atlas Copco.
The vacuum pumps can only be used in temperatures above 0 °C (+32 °F). If frost might occur, the
appropriate measures should be taken to avoid damage to the machine and its ancillary equipment. In this
case, consult Atlas Copco.
Also, if operating above 1000 m (3300 ft.), consult Atlas Copco.
Moving/lifting
The vacuum pumps can be moved by a lift truck using the slots in the frame. Take care not to damage the
bodywork during lifting or transport.
68 6996 0223 10
Instruction book
Lifting slots
Before lifting, reinstall the transport securing bolts. Make sure that the forks protrude from the other side of
the frame. The vacuum pumps can also be lifted after inserting beams in the slots.
Make sure that the beams cannot slide and that they protrude from the frame equally. The chains must be
held parallel to the bodywork by chain spreaders in order not to damage the Vacuum pump. The lifting
equipment must be placed in such a way that the vacuum pump is lifted perpendicularly. Lift gently and
avoid twisting.
It is not allowed to lift the Vacuum pump if the canopy parts or lifting supports are
not completely installed. When the vacuum pump is being lifted, it is also forbidden
to come under the load or to perform maintenance activities to it.
Acclimatization
When moving the vacuum pump into an installation room, condensation can occur on
some components.
To avoid the dew from harming the electrical components, ensure at least 2 hours of
acclimatization before switching on the vacuum pump.
4.3 Electrical connections
Working with machinery controlled by a frequency converter requires special safety

precautions. These safety precautions depend on the kind of network used (TN,
TT, IT system). Consult Atlas Copco.
Most vacuum pump are designed for use in TT/TN networks and are intended for
industrial environments where the electrical supply is separated from the
residential/commercial supply network.
To use the machine in light industrial, commercial or residential environments with a
shared supply network or in an IT network, extra measures can be required: contact
Atlas Copco.

5.1 Energy recovery unit

Description
A large part of the energy required for any compression process is transformed into heat. For GHS oil-
injected screw vacuum pump, the major part of the compression heat is dissipated through the oil system.
The Atlas Copco energy recovery (ER) systems are designed to recover most of the above-mentioned heat
by transforming it into warm or hot water without any adverse influence on the vacuum performance. The
water can be used for diverse applications.
Components
The energy recovery system is completely integrated and mainly comprises:
• Stainless steel oil/water heat exchanger
• Thermostatic by-pass valve for energy recovery heat exchanger (BV2)
• The necessary bolts, flexibles, etc.
• Pressure relieve valve with pressure setting of 10 bar
• Oil drain valve.

5.2 Energy recovery systems

General
The energy recovery systems can be applied as low temperature rise/high water flow systems or as high
temperature rise/low water flow systems.
Low temperature rise/high water flow systems
For this type of application, the temperature difference between the water in the energy recovery system
and the vacuum pump oil is low. As a consequence, a high-water flow is needed for maximum energy
recovery.
Example: The heated water is used to keep another medium at a moderately high temperature, in a closed
circuit, e.g. central heating.
High temperature rise/low water flow systems
For this type of application, a high-water temperature rise in the energy recovery system is obtained, which
consequently brings on a low flow rate.
Example: An open circuit where cold water from a main supply is heated by the energy recovery system for
use in a factory, e.g. pre-heating of boiler feed water.
Recovery water flow
The recovery water enters the unit at inlet connection (1). In heat exchanger (HE) the compression heat is
transferred from the vacuum pump oil to the water. The water leaves heat exchanger (HE) via outlet
connection (2).
Water requirements for closed water circuits
The use of a closed water circuit minimises make-up water requirements. Therefore, the use of soft or
even demineralised water is economically feasible and eliminates the problem of scale deposits. Although
the heat exchanger water circuit is made of stainless steel, the water circuit connected to the vacuum
pump may require corrosion inhibitors. Consult section Cooling water requirements to minimise problems
due to bad water quality. If in any doubt, consult Atlas Copco.
Add an anti-freeze product such as ethylene-glycol to the water in proportion to the expected temperature
to avoid freezing.
Water requirements for open water circuits
For open, non-recirculation water circuits, the major problems usually encountered are related to deposit
control, corrosion control and microbiological growth control. To minimize these problems, the water should
meet a number of requirements. See section Cooling water requirements. If in any doubt, consult Atlas
Copco.
6996 0223 10 75
Instruction book
5.3 Operation
Description
The vacuum pump oil flow is controlled by two thermostatic valves (BV1 and BV2), ensuring reliable
vacuum pump operation and optimum energy recovery.
Bypass valve (BV1) is integrated in the oil filter housing of the vacuum pump and controls the oil flow to the
heat exchanger (HE) and the main oil cooler (Co) of the vacuum pump. Bypass valve (BV2) controls the oil
flow through the oil/water heat exchanger (HE) of the ER unit. Both valves consist of an insert (thermostat)
mounted in a housing.
Flow diagram of vacuum pump with energy recovery system
76 6996 0223 10
Instruction book
BV1 starts closing the bypass line over the oil cooling circuit at the lower limit of its temperature range. At
the upper limit of its temperature range, the bypass line is completely closed and all the oil flows through
the oil cooling circuit.
BV2 starts closing the bypass line over the ER heat exchanger (HE) at the lower limit of its temperature
range. At the upper limit of its temperature range, the bypass line is completely closed and all the oil flows
through the main oil cooler (Co).
Bypass valve BV1 starts opening at 80 ºC (176 ºF) and is completely open at 95 ºC (203 ºF). Bypass valve
BV2 starts opening at 87 ºC (189 ºF) and is completely open at 102 ºC (216 ºF). The ER system can be
provided with bypass valves at the water side.
BV2 must have a higher opening temperature (set point) than BV1 in order to prevent the heat from being
dissipated in the vacuum pump oil cooler (Co) rather than in the oil/water heat exchanger (HE) when using
the compression heat as source for energy recovery.
Energy recovery system in use

• Vacuum pump start-up
When the vacuum pump is started up from cold, the oil temperature will be low. Bypass valve (BV1) shuts
off the oil supply to the oil cooling system to prevent the vacuum pump oil from being cooled. The oil flows
from the oil separator vessel (AR) through the oil filter(s) (OF) back to vacuum pump element (E).
All energy input is used to rapidly warm up the vacuum pump oil. No energy is recovered.
• Maximum energy recovery
As soon as the oil temperature reaches the set point (opening temperature) of bypass valve (BV1), the
valve starts closing off the bypass over the oil cooling system, gradually allowing the oil to flow through the
heat exchanger (HE). As the oil temperature rises to approx. 87 ºC (189 ºF), all the oil passes through the
cooling system. The exchange of heat between the vacuum pump oil and the heat recovery water is
maximum. The oil from the heat exchanger outlet flows via oil filter (OF), vacuum pump element (E) and
separator (AR) back to the inlet of heat exchanger (HE). Bypass valve (BV2) bypasses the main oil cooler
(Co) as long as the oil temperature remains below its set point.
Operation principle at different loads:
• Low consumption of recovered energy
The temperature of the oil leaving heat exchanger (HE) rises. When the temperature rises above its set
point, oil cooler bypass valve (BV2) will gradually allow the oil to be cooled in the oil cooler (Co).
• Recovery water flow too high/temperature too low
In this case, bypass valve (BV1) will open the bypass line allowing oil from heat exchanger (HE) to be
mixed with oil from separator (AR). Energy is transferred from the vacuum pump oil to the water, but at a
relatively low temperature level.
No energy is recovered
This situation should be considered as exceptional, e.g. in case of maintenance of the energy recovery
system or when no energy is required for a long period.
Stopping the unit for a long period
In case of an open water system and/or if freezing temperatures can be expected, isolate the vacuum
pump water system and blow it through with compressed air.
6996 0223 10 77
Instruction book
5.4 Maintenance
Vacuum pump oil
For references used consult section Energy recovery unit.
Oil change:
1. Run the unit until warm. Stop the unit, switch off the isolating switch and close the air outlet valve of
the vacuum pump.
2. Depressurize the vacuum pump and drain the oil by opening the drain valve. Also drain the oil from
the heat exchanger by opening the drain plug on the heat exchanger (HE). Close the plug after
draining.
3. Resume oil change as described in section Oil and Oil Filter Change.
Thermostatic bypass valves
Change the thermostat of the ER system at the same interval as the thermostat of the unit.
Heat exchanger (HE)

If the temperature rise over the energy recovery system declines over a period of time with the same basic
working conditions, the heat exchanger should be inspected. To clean the oil side, soak the heat
exchanger in a degreasing solution. To remove scale formation in the water compartment, a proper
descaling process should be applied. Consult Atlas Copco.
5.5 Cooling water requirement

General
Cooling water needs to fulfill certain requirements in order to avoid problems of

scaling, fouling, corrosion or bacterial growth.
In open circuit cooling towers, protective measures must be taken to avoid the
growth of harmful bacteria such as legionella pneumophila when there is a risk of
inhalation of the water droplets.
No general recommendation can encompass the effects of all combinations of the various compounds,
solids and gases typically found in cooling water in interaction with different materials. Therefore, the
recommendations formulated in our Cooling Water Specifications are a general guide line for acceptable
coolant quality. However, where strict limits apply, a statement is made in the specification.
The water requirements refer to untreated water. When water is treated, some parameters will change.
Water treatments should be carried out by a specialized 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 not only the selection of the appropriate additives, but also the correct application,
monitoring of concentrations and properties, prevention of sludge formation and maintenance of the
system. This applies also to treatment with antifreeze products. They must be provided with suitable
stabilizers and inhibitors. Specifications are also depending on the type of cooling circuit (open, once
through / recirculating with tower / closed) and on the application (Standard - max 65 °C cooling water
temperature at the outlet) or Energy Recovery (water temperature up to 95 °C).
In case water is not in line with recommended values or if any doubt, consult the manufacturer.

itself is subject to limitations:

Containing copper 7.5 - 9.3 7.5 - 9.3
Closed loop 7.5 - 9.3 7.5 - 9.3
Stainless steel only 6 - 9.3 6 - 9.3
When the system contains Zn or Al, the pH must be < 8.5.
2. Total dissolved solids (TDS) and conductivity

The conductivity is expressed in S/cm, the TDS in ppm.
Both parameters are related with each other. The conductivity is convenient for quick monitoring of general
water quality, but the TDS is required for calculating the RSI. If only one of both parameters is measured,
an estimation can be obtained by using a theoretical conversion factor (0.67).
TDS = conductivity x 0.67
3. Hardness
Different types of hardness are in relation with each other and together with the pH and the alkalinity of the
water they determine the equilibrium situation of the water, determined and specified by the RSI.
In addition, the calcium hardness must be limited to:
Ca (ppm CaCO3)
Type of cooling system Standard Energy recovery
Single pass < 500 <2
Recirculating (with tower) < 500 not applicable
Closed loop < 1000 < 50

Instruction book
4. The Ryznar Stability Index (RSI)

The Ryznar Stability Index is a parameter for predicting whether water will tend to dissolve or precipitate
calcium carbonate. The adhesion of scaling depositions and their effect are different on different materials,
but the equilibrium of the water (scaling or corrosive) is only determined by its actual pH value and by the
saturation pH value (pHs). The saturation pH value is determined by the relationship between the calcium
hardness, the total alkalinity, the total solids concentration and the temperature.
The Ryznar Stability Index is calculated as follows:
RSI = 2*pHs - pH,
where,
• pH = measured pH (at room temp) 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 heat exchanger
• C: depends on the calcium hardness (CaCO3)
• D: depends on the HCO3 concentration or M-alkalinity
The values of A, B, C and D can be found in below table:

case, contact a specialist.
5. Free chlorine (Cl2)

Disinfecting with chlorine is not done in closed systems, neither in energy recovery systems.
A continuous level of 0.5 ppm should not be exceeded. For shock treatments, a maximum limit of 2 ppm

9.2 Electrical cable size and fuses

Important
The voltage on the vacuum pump terminals must not deviate more than 10% of the
nominal voltage.
It is however highly 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 may be necessary to
use cables of a larger size than those calculated for the standard operating
conditions.
• Use the original cable entry. See section Dimension drawings.
To preserve the IP protection degree of the electric cubicle and to protect its
components from dust from the environment, it is mandatory to use a proper cable
gland when connecting the supply cable to the Vacuum pump.
• Local regulations remain applicable if they are stricter than the values proposed
below.
Caution:
• Always double-check the fuse size versus the calculated cable size. If required,
reduce fuse size or enlarge cable size.
Cable length should not exceed the maximum length according to IEC60204 table 10.
Leakage breaker (optional)

If the installation requires a leakage breaker, always use an all current sensitive leakage breaker, RCM or
RCD Type B (according to IEC/EN 60755) with a sufficient trip level.

Instruction book
Earthing
The earthing cable connected to the vacuum pump (PE) should be minimum according to EN 60204-1
section 828.
Cable sizing according IEC
The tables below indicate the current carrying capacities of cables for 3 commonly used installation
methods, calculated according to standard 60364-5-52 - electrical installations of buildings part 5 -
selection and erection equipment and section 52 - current carrying capacities in wiring systems.
The allowed currents are valid for PVC insulated cables with three loaded copper conductors (maximum
conductor temperature 70 °C).
Installation method B2 according to table

B.52.1. Multi-core cable in conduit on a
wooden wall.
Maximum allowed current in function of the ambient temperature for installation method B2.
Installation method C according to table B.52.1.

Single-core or multi-core cable on a wooden wall.
Maximum allowed current in function of the ambient temperature for installation method C.
112 6996 0223 10

Instruction book
Installation method F according table B.52.1. Single-core

cables, touching in free air Clearance to wall not less than
one cable diameter
Maximum allowed current in function of the ambient temperature for installation method F
Calculation method for IEC:

• Single supply cables (3 phases + PE - configuration (1)):
• Add 10% to the total vacuum pump current (Itot from the tables)
• Install the prescribed fuse on each cable
• Parallel supply cable (2 x 3 phases + PE - configuration (2)):
• Add 10% to the total vacuum pump current (Itot from the tables) and divide by 2
• Multiply the ampacity of the cables with 0.8 (see 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 vacuum pump current (Itot from the tables) and divide by √3
• Multiply the ampacity of the cables with 0.8 (see 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
6996 0223 10 113

Instruction book
• 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 allows a maximum current of 93 A for a 50 mm²
cable. For a cable of 70 mm², the maximum allowed current is 118 A, which is sufficient. Therefore,
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.
Cable sizing according UL/cUL
Calculation method according UL 508A, table 28.1 column 5: allowable ampacities of insulated copper
conductors (75°C (167°F)). Maximum allowed current in function of the wire size
AWG or kcmil Maximum current

10 < 30 A
8 < 50 A
6 < 65 A
4 < 85 A
3 < 100 A
2 < 115 A
1 < 130 A
1/0 < 150 A
2/0 < 175 A
3/0 < 200 A
Calculation method for UL:
• Single supply cables (3 phases + 1 PE - configuration (1)):
• Add 25% to the total current from the tables (see UL 508A 28.3.2: “Capacity shall have 125% of
the full load current”)
• Install the prescribed 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 (see 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 (see UL 508A table 28.1 continued)
• Fuse size: the recommended maximum fuse size divided by √3 on each cable.
114 6996 0223 10

Instruction book
• Size of the PE cable:

• For supply cables up to AWG8: same size as the supply cables
• For supply cables larger than AWG8: use maximum allowed 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 prescribed maximum fuse (150 A) on each cable
• Parallel supply cable (2 x 3 phases + 2 PE - configuration (2)):
• 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 insufficient. 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.
