(volume content greater than 21% and up to 100%). Conveying of other media leads to an increased thermal and/or mechanical load on the machine and is permissible only after a consultation with Busch. The machine is intended for the placement in a non-potentially explosive environment.
Product Description | 2 2.4.2 Gas Ballast Valve The gas ballast valve mixes the process gas with a limited quantity of ambient air to counteract the condensation of vapour inside the machine. The gas ballast valve has an influence on the ultimate pressure of the machine, see Tech- nical Data [► 30].

Risk of fire! • Only use oil approved by Busch and suitable for oxygen application, see Oil [► 30]. At delivery, the machine is already filled with specific oil "Busch YLC 250 B" which is suitable for oxygen application. A lead seal is applied on the oil fill plug (OFP) and the oil drain plug (ODP) in order to prevent wrong material from being filled in.
• Provide a lockable disconnect switch on the power line so that the machine is com- pletely secured during maintenance tasks. • Provide an overload protection according to EN 60204-1 for the motor. • Busch recommends installing a D-curve circuit breaker. 14 / 32 0870201532_RA_RC0400-0630C_-0003_O2_IM_en...
