19. Whenever air containing hazardous substances is sucked in (i.e. biological or microbiological agents), use abatement systems placed upstream of the vacuum pump. 20. Any vacuum pump placed in an application with inlet gas stream temperatures above the published maximum temperature should be approved by Atlas Copco prior to start-up. 6996 0224 30...
Instruction book Also consult sections Safety precautions during operation Safety precautions during maintenance or repair. 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. Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment;...
Instruction book 11. Do not remove any of, or tamper with, the sound-damping material. 12. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, guards or insulations fitted on the machine. 13. The oil separator tank can be slightly pressurised. Do not open and do not leave oil filler or drain plugs open during operation.

Instruction book 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;...
Instruction book General description 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: ...
Page 13
There are 2 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 actual m³/h. Displacement/volumetric flow rate...

Instruction book General description The GVS 16A up to GVS 630A are single-stage, oil-sealed and air-cooled rotary vane vacuum pumps driven by an electric motor. GVS 100A up to GVS 300A are also available without electric motor. GVS 470A and GVS 630A are belt driven.
Instruction book Air flow Air drawn through the air intake filter (optional), the inlet protection screen and the inlet non-return valve is displaced by the vacuum pump element towards the air end exhaust valve. This valve ejects a mixture of air and oil into the exhaust filter element. After passing the exhaust filter element, clean air - conditioned to a few parts per million - is discharged through the outlet.

Instruction book The air intake filter (optional) should be installed in a horizontal position to prevent filtered dust falling into the pump inlet when replacing the air intake filter element and resulting damage to the pump. Initial start-up instructions: Check the process lines for the correct size to prevent high pressure drop and for cleanliness to protect the vacuum pump.
Instruction book Starting Procedure: Check oil level and oil condition. Switch on the voltage. To avoid excessive energy consumption and damage to the vacuum pump the maximum allowed starting frequency is 6 starts per hour. For more frequent operation, let the pump run continuously and control the vacuum demand by a pitot valve on the pump inlet.
For overhauling or carrying out preventive maintenance, service kits are available (see section Service kits Service contracts Atlas Copco offers several types of service contracts, relieving you of all preventive maintenance work. Consult your Atlas Copco Customer Centre. General When servicing, replace all removed O-rings and washers.
Store the pump in its packing in a covered, dry place at a temperature between -20°C (-4 °F) and 50°C (122 °F). If the vacuum pump is going to be stored without running from time to time, protective measures must be taken. Consult Atlas Copco. 6996 0224 30...
Service kits For overhauling and for preventive maintenance, a wide range of service kits is available. Service kits comprise all parts required for servicing the component and offer the benefits of genuine Atlas Copco parts while keeping the maintenance budget low.
Lift the 3 exhaust filters from the W shaped metal sheet holder and remove them from the oil casing. Make sure that the new exhaust filters have the O-ring (opposite side of overpressure valve) and grease them using Atlas Copco vacuum grease. 6996 0224 30...

Instruction book Replace the O-ring of the exhaust plate. Insert new exhaust filters. They are guided in the oil casing correct position. Make sure the compression springs are behind the W shaped metal sheet holder. Plug the exhaust plate on the W shaped metal sheet holder with the 2 location pins and screw the exhaust plate on the oil casing using a 8 mm Allen key.
Let the pump run with closed intake for a few minutes, stop the pump and check the oil level. Top up if necessary. Oil filter change (not applicable to GVS 16A and GVS 25A) Drain the used oil completely following above instructions.
Instruction book Cleaning radiator, motor fan guard and pump Radiator, motor fan guard and pump must be kept clean. This can be done using compressed air and a dry cloth. Be careful not to damage the oil cooler (if applicable) by cleaning with compressed air or by exerting excessive pressure with the cloth.
