    Otherwise, take the necessary measures with the transporting company and, if necessary, notify VARIAN. For all handling, only use the devices provided for this purpose (lifting rings, handle, etc.).
  • Page 8 Installation and • The machines must be connected to an electrical installation in compliance with decree 88-1056 dated 14th November 1988, as well as any local start-up electrical codes that apply. • It is important to isolate the machine from the power source before any intervention on the equipment (for maintenance purposes).
  • Page 9 Purges for pumping condensable, corrosive, and hazardous gases All pumps models Purges The use of vane pumps may result in pumping gases or vapours which are Aammable or that could contaminate the oil. In this case, these products must be diluted using purges supplied with dry gases, such as nitrogen to avoid undesirable reactions.
  • Page 10 Setting The gas. flow rate is adapted according to the application and the installation, taking 'the following criteria into account (flow 50 lo 300 SCCM): • When pumping high quantities of gas, a highly corrosive gas or an easily condansable gas, it is recommended lo use a high nitrogen flow rate. Caution ! It is assumed that a sufficient quantity of nitrogen is available.
  • Page 11 gen pumping 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.
  • Page 13: Operating Principle

    Operating principle of the rotary vane pump Rotary vane pump This is a volumetric pump, with a functional part composed of: principle - A hollow cylindrical stator with inlet and exhaust valves. - A rotor mounted eccentrically inside the stator for pumping. - Two vanes sliding in the rotor, forced against the stator by centrifugal force and springs.
  • Page 14 ()-3 Torr ( l .33 x l 0- 3 mbor). Note : when operating a two stage vane pump continously, greater than half an hour, above l .0 Torr, the unit should be equipped with an oil mist eliminator and oil return system (Contact VARIAN).
  • Page 15 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 o�er pumping vapours and when the oil appears cloudy or discolored through the sight gloss.
