Introduction Scope of this manual This manual provides installation, operation and maintenance instructions for the Edwards XDS100B Scroll Booster. You must use your pump as specified in this manual. Read this manual before you attempt to install and operate your pump.
The XDS pump is a compact, reliable vacuum pump which is suitable for use on vapour handling processes. The XDS100B is a scroll booster, with a pumping mechanism designed specifically for high pumping speed. It cannot exhaust directly to atmosphere, and must be backed by a primary pump; it is intended for use in conjuction with Edwards XDS35i or XDS46i scroll pumps.
The pump is fitted with an hours counter (10), which indicates the total time that the pump has run. Gas ballast control The XDS100B booster does not have a gas ballast option; condensation is not likely to occur in the pump, as the normal operating pressure is too low.
2. Power Note: XDS100B is not suitable for prolonged operation at inlet pressures above 20 mbar. Under such conditions, the inverter may reduce the motor speed. The above performance curve shows the XDS100B Scroll Booster speed and power consumption when used in conjuction with a XDS35i backing pump.
The Edwards XDS100B booster is not recommended for pumping explosive gases or hazardous substances. You must ensure that the XDS100B booster is suitable for your application. If you have any doubt about the suitability of the XDS100B booster for your application, refer to the Edwards guidelines on vacuum pump and vacuum system safety (see associated publications at the end of the contents list at the front of this manual).
A732-01-880 Issue A Unpack and inspect WARNING Use suitable lifting equipment to move the XDS100B booster. The mass of the pump is 48 kg. Mechanical lifting equipment should be attached to the lifting eye; loose slings should not be used.
If the booster or backing pump is operated with the foreline or backing pump exhaust line blocked, high pressures may be generated in the pipework. CAUTION The XDS100B cannot exhaust directly to atmosphere and must be backed by a suitable primary pump. Refer to Figure 1.
Take note of the following information when you connect the pump to your vacuum system. To minimise noise and exhaust emissions, it is recommended that the primary pump backing the XDS100B is connected to an exhaust line or a silencer (refer to Section 7.3.2).
A732-01-880 Issue A Operation Use of gas ballast control The XDS100B booster does not have a gas ballast option; condensation is not likely to occur in the pump, as the normal operating pressure is too low. Start up procedure WARNING Ensure that your system design does not allow the exhaust pipeline to become blocked.
If liquids that produce flammable vapours could be present in the pump foreline then the inert gas purge to the XDS100B should be left on all the time this liquid is present. Flammable liquids could be present in the foreline as a result of condensation or may be carried over from the process.
Wait one minute for capacitor discharge after disconnecting the power supply before working on the pump. WARNING The XDS100B must be isolated from its backing pump before maintenance can begin. If the booster backing pump is connected and operational the XDS100B scrolls will rotate. WARNING The pump may be contaminated with the process chemicals that have been pumped during operation.
2. Use a dry cloth and a soft brush to remove dirt and deposits from the fan cover. Replace the tip seals This instruction is applicable to the XDS100B replacement tip seal kit (contained in minor service kit, refer to Section 7.3.5) that must be fitted.
The process gas is too hot or the maximum continuous operating pressure has been exceeded. The exhaust pressure of the XDS100B is too high. Check operation of the booster backing pump and suitability of the backing pump for the application.
Dispose of the pump and any components from it safely in accordance with all local and national safety and environmental requirements. If this pump is to be returned to Edwards Vacuum Technology for disposal/ investigation. Particular care must be taken with components that have been contaminated with dangerous process substances.
