Product description Function The oil mist eliminator is mounted on the exhaust port of rotary vane pumps. It filters oil mist particles out of the supported stream of gas, thereby reducing the operating fluid mist discharge. The filter elements have been installed in a corrosion-resistant aluminium casing and consist of a glass polyester fleece cylindrical filter.
Installation Installation Assembly To install the OME in a vacuum system, ISO small flanges or ISO clamp flanges are pro- vided on the input side and output side. The flanges are provided with protective caps when delivered to protect the sealing surfaces. If gases are pumped that may not enter the atmosphere, an exhaust line must be con- nected to the exhaust flange.
Installation Installing the operating fluid return line NOTICE Make sure that the return for the operating fluid is working properly. The operating fluid can only be sucked out and returned when there is a minimum about of operating fluid in the oil mist eliminator. ...

Installation Fit ODK 1 with adapter (without magnetic valve) NOTICE Watch out for any accidental ventilation of the pump After the ODK 1 has been fitted the pump is not sealed on the exhaust side. This results in a vacuum chamber attached to the suction side being ventilated once the pump has been switched off.
Page 14
Installation ODK 2 with Adapter (with solenoid valve) In order to avoid the pump being automatically ventilated via the operating fluid return line after having been switched off, the magnetic valve (NC/normally closed) of the ODK 2 must be supplied with power at the same time as the engine. 41 145 Fig.
Operation Operation CAUTION Watch out for excess pressure in the exhaust line. There is a risk of damage to the seals, and a risk of rupture or overloading of the pump. Ensure that there is no excess pressure at the OME exit point. ...
Maintenance Maintenance Draining the operating fluid If the accumulated operating fluid in the OME is above the top edge of the sight glass 12, the operating fluid must be drained. The intervals, at which the operating fluid is drained, depend on the operating conditions. WARNING Operating fluid may contain toxic substances from the pumped media! Danger of poisoning from the emission of harmful substances from the operating fluid.
OME and oil mist exits. NOTICE Disclaimer of liability Pfeiffer Vacuum accepts no liability for personal injury or material damage, losses or op- erating malfunctions due to improperly performed maintenance. The liability and war- ranty entitlement expires.
