  • Page 15: Product Description

    The pump design is based on a standard pump. It is used in applications where the backstreaming of fluorine is critical, in particular those installations that use NEG (Non-Evaporable Getter pump) ion pumps. The lubricants and seals used do not contain fluorine compounds. Please contact Pfeiffer Vacuum for more detailed information on specific applications. 15/54...

  • Page 17: Installation

    Installation 5 Installation 5.1 Installation The pump needs to operate in a horizontal position resting on its feet, the pumping axis must be verti- cal, and the pump inlet must be on top. 1. Determine where the pump will be located. 2. Handle the pump using a hoist. 3.
  • Page 18: Connection On The Pump Inlet Side

    Installation 4. Remove the blanking plates used to seal the inlet and exhaust ports. 5. Keep the blanking plates, screws and washers for reuse when transporting the pump. 6. Ensure that no screws, washers or other objects are dropped into the pump inlet. 7.
  • Page 19: Connecting Cp Version Pumps

    The gas purge consists of injecting an inert gas into the pump. In this manual, the inert gas will be called ‘nitrogen’, as it is the most commonly used gas. For more information about the type of purge gas, contact your Pfeiffer Vacuum service center. DANGER Danger of death by explosion when pumping gases containing pyrophoric/flammable materi- There is a risk of explosion if pyrophoric materials above the LEL are sent to the pump.
  • Page 20: Check That The Installation Is Leaktight

    Installation LG version The air injection line flow rate is ensured by a jet, which is integrated into the pump. 5.3 Check that the installation is leaktight When the product leaves the factory, product leaktightness under normal operating conditions is guar- anteed.
  • Page 21: Customer Electrical Installation Protection

    Installation The pump has thermal sensors that prevent start-up at certain temperatures (see chapter “Preliminary precautions for use”). 5.4.1 Customer electrical installation protection The pump is connected to the mains with the mains power cable provided. The earth connection (fre- quency converter, cover, pump) is made via the power cable connected to a compliant electrical instal- lation.

    Operation 4. Check that the inlet pressure is not higher than atmospheric pressure. If the pressure is too high, it can damage the product. 5. Check that the ambient temperature is well within the permitted operating range. 6. Check the exhaust line during pumping to prevent the risks related to excess overpressure. 6.2 Matrix gas/applications You are advised to use the appropriate pump version according to the applications and the nature of the gases pumped and apply the usual precautions to guarantee the reliability and safety of the procedure.

  • Page 32: Purge Operation

    Operation beyond its saturated vapor pressure in the compression phase. It can condense, impairing pump per- formance. The gas ballast can be used to inject a certain quantity of air (neutral or dry gas) into the pump during the ‘compression’ phase so that the partial pressure of the pumped gas is less than its sa- turated vapor pressure at the pump’s operating temperature.
  • Page 33 Operation The combined use of the gas ballast and the purge allows large amounts of condensable vapors to be removed. Commissioning To better pump with condensable vapors or moist air, it is necessary to operate with a hot pump and to use a nitrogen supply with the required characteristics (see chapter “Nitrogen characteristics”).
  • Page 34: Maintenance

    Maintenance 7 Maintenance 7.1 Maintenance safety instructions DANGER Risk to health posed by residual traces of process gases inside the pump Process gases are toxic and hazardous to health. They can cause poisoning and be fatal. Before dis- connecting the pump, any remaining traces of process gases must be eliminated. ►...
  • Page 35: Maintenance Frequency

    ► Remove dust from the air ventilation grids with a cloth. Do not use a compressed air blower. Cleaning the inlet filter The ACP 28 and ACP 40 models are fitted with a filter in the inlet flange. Check the cleanliness of this filter regularly.
  • Page 36: Exchange Procedure For Replacement Products

    Maintenance 1 Conical filter Draining the external silencer (CV version) The maintenance frequency depends on the amount of condensable vapors pumped in the application in which the pump is installed.
