  • Page 12: The If System

    The iF1800 system has an FDP200 dry pump with an HMB1800 mechanical booster pump fitted to the inlet of the FDP200 pump. The FDP200 pump is referred to as the FDP pump and the HMB1800 is referred to as the HMB pump throughout the remainder of this manual.
  • Page 13: Safety

    Potential hazards on the iF system include electricity, hot surfaces, process chemicals, Fomblin oil and nitrogen and water under pressure. Detailed safety information is given in Section 3.1 (Installation), Section 6.1 (maintenance) and Edwards publication number P300-20-000 ‘Vacuum pump and vacuum system safety’.
  • Page 14: The If System (If1800 Shown Without Panelwork)

    The front panel has three pressure status LEDs (Figure 6, items 3, 5 and 6). These LEDs indicate whether the nitrogen supply pressure is too high, too low or is in the acceptable range, refer to Section 5.6. Figure 1 - The iF system (iF1800 shown without panelwork) 1. Inlet 2.
  • Page 15: The Hmb Mechanical Booster Pump

    The HMB pump is a positive displacement roots vacuum pump. The pump mechanism is driven by a three-phase electric motor. The HMB pump in the iF1800 system is driven through an electrical inverter, which increases the speed of the motor to 6000 r min The FDP pump backs the HMB pump: The HMB pump in an iF1800 system operates between atmospheric pressure and ultimate vacuum;...
