Oxy g en pumpin g In certain applications, mixtures containing oxygen at different concentrations, or even pure oxygen, are used. Oils of mineral origin are combustible. Exposure to pure oxygen at high temperatures may cause them to self-ignite. In addition, they are highly oxidized during pumping and quickly lose their lubricating properties.

Note : when operating a two stage vane pump continously, greater than half an hour, above 1.0 Torr (1.3 rnbar), the unit should be equipped with an oil mist eliminator. Please, contact Varian if your application operates for more than half an hour above 1.0 Torr (1.3 mbar).

Regeneration of In a pump stored with the same oil for a long time, condensed vapours may pump oil contaminate the oil bath and affect performance. This is also the case ofter pum ping vapours and when the oil appears cloudy or discolored through the sight glass.

Assembly The condensation of vapours at the pump exhaust is reduced if: the pump and oil temperature are high; - the pressure at the exhaust is as low as possible {removal of the oil mist eliminator ... ); Exh. · the condensates are collected separately from the oil bath and do not block the exhaust duct.

Presentation of the product range wide range Varian oil seal rotary vane pumps are used in many vacuum technology Specific solutions adopted to various applications. applications They con be used on their own lo a:::hieve a maximum vacuum of 1 Q-3 Torr (1 Q-3 mbar), or in pumping assemblies, e.g.
Technical characteristics SD Model Characteristics * These values are for pumps equipped with single-phase motors. Note: The pressure measurements were mode with a capacitive diaphragm pressure gauge measuring a total pressure in the absence of a cold trap. Measurements using a Pironi type gauge can give different pressure values.
