Connection B - Fore-Vacuum Pump

A flange KF 25 NW is available to connect the Tur-bo-V551/701 pump to the
fore-vacuum pump. A hose or vacuum approved pipe can be used. If a rigid
pipe is used, any vibration generated by the mechanical pump must be
eliminated through the use of bellows.
The Turbo-V551/701 pump is characterized by its high compression ratio also
NOTE
for oil vapors. When using a mechanical oil-sealed pump, it is advisable to
install a suitable trap between the turbopump and the fore-vacuum pump in
order to prevent oil backstreaming.
