Introduction Scope and definitions This manual provides installation, operation and maintenance instructions for the Edwards 30B5M Vapour Booster Pumps. You must use the pump as specified in this manual. Read this manual before you install and operate your pump. Important safety information is highlighted as WARNING and CAUTION instructions;...
Refer to Figure 1. The 30B5M pump is a high throughput vapour booster pump. The 30B5M is designed for industrial processes in which large quantities of gas or water vapour are evolved or processes which may result in heavy contamination.
When the half-heat mode is selected, the electrical supply to some of the heaters is switched off. If you have a cyclic process, you can select this facility when the 30B5M is not used to pump process gases; this will reduce the power consumption of the pump, but also maintain the pump close to its operating temperature.
279 mm diameter with 4 equally spaced 16.7 mm fixing-holes on a 235 mm PCD Pump fluid data Note: An Edwards Material Safety Data Sheet for AP201 fluid is available on request. Recommended fluid type Apiezon AP201 Fluid charge 55 litres...
Table 1. If either item is missing, notify your supplier in writing within three days. If the 30B5M pump is not to be used immediately, replace the protective covers. Store the pump in suitable conditions, as described in Section Table 1 - Checklist of components Description Check (✓)
Locate the pump on a flat, secure foundation. If you do not, it may become unstable and fall over. WARNING Use suitable lifting equipment to move the base of the 30B5M pump. The mass of the base of the pump is 620 kg.
Section 3.7.3. Ensure that the pipeline which connects the 30B5M to your vacuum system is as short as possible and has the maximum possible internal diameter. Separately support the pipeline which connects the 30B5M to your vacuum system.
Leak-test the system The 30B5M pump is stringently leak-tested before despatch. After you have installed the 30B5M pump, leak-test the system before you fill the pump with fluid; outgassing from the fluid may give false test results. The pump fluid is viscous at ambient temperature and may block small leaks.
1 to 3 and terminals 4 to 6 (to allow for half-heat operation) on terminal block TS02 (4). 7. Refer to Figure 6. On a control configured 30B5M, connect the phase wires in the electrical supply cable to the terminals marked 'L1', 'L2' and 'L3' on the electrical supply isolator/circuit breaker (4). 8. Refer to Figure 5 or 6.
PFPE fluids is near the operating temperature of the 30B5M. The thermal breakdown products of PFPE fluid are very dangerous. We recommend that you use Apiezon AP201 fluid in the 30B5M pump. The thermal breakdown products of this fluid can be dangerous; details of the breakdown products are given in Table 2.
Use the best fluid for your application. If the 30B5M pump already contains traces of pump fluid, you must refill it with the same type of fluid. If it is necessary to use a different fluid, you must clean the 30B5M pump thoroughly before you fill it with a different fluid.
Removal of the panels could cause the thermal trips to function incorrectly and the pump boiler to overheat and implode. In the following sections we assume that the 30B5M pump will be used in conjunction with a pumping system as shown Figure 7.
7. Close the vacuum system isolation-valve (3) and the vacuum system air-admittance valve (4). Close any other openings to atmospheric pressure. 2. Switch on the cooling-water supply to the 30B5M pump. 3. Switch on the holding pump (11, if fitted), then switch on the backing pump (8).
20 and 30 ºC above ambient temperature. Ensure that the boiler does not get too hot; if it does, the pump fluid may vaporise and contaminate the vacuum system. The following method of shut-down ensures that the 30B5M pump is left evacuated and prevents absorption of air by the pump fluid.
'O' rings. The pump may have overheated if it was misused, if it malfunctioned, or if it was in a fire. Edwards Material Safety Data Sheets for fluorinated materials used in the pump are available on request: contact your supplier or Edwards.
Use the following procedure to replace a heater. 1. Switch off the 30B5M pump, allow it to cool, then open it to atmosphere. 2. Isolate the pump from the electrical supply and disconnect the pump electrical supply cable from the electrical supply.
Section Disposal Dispose of the 30B5M pump and any components removed from it safely in accordance with all local and national safety and environmental requirements. Take particular care with the following: Components which have come into contact with pump fluid.
The majority of these centres employ Service Engineers who have undergone comprehensive Edwards training courses. Order spare parts and accessories from your nearest Edwards company or distributor. When you order, please state for each part required: Model and Item Number of your equipment ...
