Replacing the Vacuum Pump Exhaust Filter

This procedure applies to oil-based vacuum pumps only.
The gases used by the analyzer are exhausted by vacuum pumps. An exhaust filter is installed on the
exhaust port of each oil-sealed vacuum pump. The filter minimizes the release of oil vapor and should
be replaced when it becomes so saturated with oil that it is ineffective.
Exhaust filters are used on the vacuum pump to minimize the release of oil vapors.
The gases used are diluted substantially upon being released from the vacuum
pumps. However, it may be desirable in some locations to provide a fume hood for
added protection from hazardous gases and vapors released into the work area.
