    In order to prevent the destruction of equipment and injuries to the operating personnel, we urgently recommend to follow the installation instructions given in these Operating Instructions. GA03107_002_A4 - 09/2015 - © Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum...
  • Page 6: Electrical Hazards

    Safety Information The pumps must only be operated at the permitted speeds. Especially when using frequency converters which have not been specifically approved by Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum, you need to ensure an effec- tive protection against overspeeding. Electrical Hazards WARNING Potentially lethal voltages are present at the mains connections.
  • Page 7: Thermal Hazards

    Since not all application related hazards for vacuum systems can be described in detail in these Operating Instructions, Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum has available a separate document (Safety Booklet) in which the hazards and general safety concepts for design, operation and maintenance of vacuum systems are explained.
  • Page 8: Ignition Risk

    RUVAC pumps with toxic and/or aggressive gases, it is imperative that you consult your local Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum office. Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum is not in a position to perform servicing (repairs) and waste disposal of radioactively contaminated pumps. Both needs to be ensured from the side of the user.
  • Page 9: Danger Of Pump Damage

    Do not use the pump for applications that produce abrasive or adhe- NOTICE sive powders or condensable vapors that can leave adhesive or high viscosity deposits. Please contact Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum Sales for selecting the right separator. Vapors which condense upon being compressed within the pump to liquids must be avoided when their vapor pressure exceeds the vapor tolerance of the pump.

Exclusively use original Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum spare parts, since only these have been designed such that proper grounding is ensured. Chemical Reactions The pump must not be used in connection with reactive or corrosive gases, which might result in an exothermal chemical reaction.
  • Page 24 Due to the installation position and the tolerances stated for the temperature measurement, and for compliance with temperature classification TX, the RUVAC WA/WAU must be shut down reliably at the shutdown temperatures stated in Table 1. T4 operation is excluded.
  • Page 25: Description

    Description Description Design and Function The RUVAC WA and RUVAC WAU are Roots vacuum pumps which are driv- en directly by an electric motor. The WAU types have a pressure balance line between the discharge and intake flange. Standard RUVAC pumps are not suited for pumping of oxygen when the oxygen concentration exceeds that in the atmosphere.
  • Page 26 (p > 10 mbar), whereas for pressures in the fine vacuum range (p < 1 mbar) the attainable compression ratio is decisive. RUVAC WA/WAU pumps have been specifically designed for operation in the rough and fine vacuum ranges. They are thus either used in connection with backing pumps or in closed gas cycles.
  • Page 27: Design

    In both side chambers there are integrated oil pumps to ensure that the bear- ings and gearwheels receive sufficient lubricant at all recommended speeds. GA03107_002_A4 - 09/2015 - © Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum...
  • Page 28: Pressure Balance Line

    Description The motor of the RUVAC WA/WAU is directly flanged to the coupling hous- ing. One shaft of the pump is linked to the shaft of the motor by an elastic coupling. The shaft of the other impeller is driven via the synchromesh gear.
  • Page 29: Lubricants

    WS/WSU models should be preferred. Standard Specification RUVAC WA/WAUs are supplied for vertical flow as standard. The shaft seal housing is supplied with a filling of oil. Before the pump is shipped the oil has been drained out. The quantity of oil needed for running the pump is supplied in a separate container.

    NOTICE Only fill in the oil after having installed the pump. Installation Install RUVAC WA/WAU pumps on a flat, horizontal surface (1° max. tilt). NOTICE If the pump is not level, lubricant may enter the pumping chamber from the gear chambers.
  • Page 37: Filling In Of The Oil

    Clean the oil-fill port and screw the plug back in using a gasket which is in perfect condition. The oil-fill port must be sealed air-tight. Entry of air from the outside may cause oil-containing gas to enter the pumping chamber via the impellers seals. GA03107_002_A4 - 09/2015 - © Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum...

    The opening pressure of the differential valve is designed only for 50 or 60 Hz operation of the pumps. RUVAC WA Do not switch on the RUVAC WA until the backing pump has evacuated the vacuum vessel to the cut-in pressure. For processes in which condensable vapours are pumped, it is advisable to evacuate the vacuum vessel via a roughing line to the cut-in pressure.
  • Page 49: Operation

    It is advisable to switch the RUVAC WA on and off via a pressure switch to NOTICE ensure that it runs only in the permissible pressure range.
