Page 4: Introduction
KINNEY KTC vacuum pumps are built to exacting standards and if properly installed and maintained will provide many years of reliable service. We urge you to take time to read and follow every step of these instructions when installing and maintaining your pump. -

KTC™ SERIES MANUAL 1845-2 © 2006, Tuthill Corporation This manual applies to Kinney Vacuum models KTC-60 and KTC-112. You should be thoroughly familiar with these instructions before attempting to install, operate or repair this unit. Consult Kinney when problems arise that cannot be resolved after reading this manual. -
Page 6: Pump Components
Pump Components The pumps have three cylinders with rotary pistons, two of which operate in parallel as a single high vacuum stage and have a common inlet and discharge. The discharge of this stage is connected in series to the inlet of the backing stage cylinder, which discharges into the oil-gas separator. -
Page 7: Operating Cycle
Operating Cycle Gas from the system enters the pump suction and passes through the hollow piston slide and out into the space being created between the piston and cylinder wall. This space increases and more gas is drawn in as the piston rotates. -
Page 8: Installation
The installation of a Kinney oil mist eliminator on the discharge is recommended for all applications. Oil that collects in the eliminator should be returned to the pump. The optional oil return kit will allow oil to drain back into the separator housing when the pump is operating a low pressure or when the pump is stopped. -
Page 9: Filling The Pump With Oil
Use oil recommended by Kinney and see the Specifications for the quantity of oil required to fill the pump. There are two oil reservoirs in Kinney KTC pumps, the main reservoir is at atmospheric pressure and feeds oil to the high-pressure stage, and the other is between the two stages and feeds oil to the low-pressure stage. -

6) Close vent valve. Handling Large Quantities of Water Use of the gas ballast valve enables Kinney pumps to handle small to moderate amounts of water and other vapors in the suction gas stream. See the Gas Ballast section below. -
Page 11: Gas Ballast
KTC Series pumps can accumulate some water in the reservoir before it reaches the oil line pickup where it could circulate through the pump. If water or other condensate collects in the oil reservoir, the water should be drained be- fore the level reaches the oil line pickup. -
Page 12: Changing The Oil
Sometimes a process related coating build up can be removed by soaking the pump with proper solvent (turning by hand) - check with Kinney Service Department. Inspecting the inside of the pump is covered under “Disassembly”. Pump Leaks... -
Page 13: Checking Process Equipment
To read blank off pressure, close the pump inlet by means of a vacuum valve or blank off plate. Connect a vacuum gauge to the suction side and position the gauge tube, facing downward into the higher area of the manifolding so that the tube will not become flooded and blocked by splashing pump oil. If the pump is dis- connected from the process equipment, connect a 90-degree elbow, extending upward, to the inlet flange and bolt the blank off plate, with gauge connection, the open elbow flange. -
Page 14: Shaft-Seal Assembly
To inspect the discharge valves, remove the valve as described in the “Disassembly” section. Inspect the valves by snapping the valve disk or lower valve spring away from the valve seat to check for spring tension and mechanical de- fects. Inspect the sealing surfaces for dirt or other foreign material. Check that the disk or lower valve spring has not warped (dish shape), as they must be flat for full contact. -
Page 15: Disassembly
should remain free of oil and grease. Tension should be removed from belts if the drive is to be inactive for an ex- tended period of time. DISASSEMBLY The following steps are for complete disassembly of the pump, however the pump should be disassembled only to the extent necessary for servicing. -
Page 16: Assembly
16) Remove four screws securing the oil pump housing and pull off the housing complete with the pump. 17) Remove the closed head in the same way as the open head was removed, by jacking the head off of the cylinder 18) Pull the closed head slide pin and piston from the cylinder and again mark them so that they can be replaced in the same location. -
