Product Description | 2 LR 0420 A and LR 0580 A AOUT AOUT Alternative side suction connections* AOUT Alternative side discharge connections** Integral discharge separator Suction connection Operating liquid inlet Operating liquid outlet Discharge connection Shaft seal flushing inlet*** * No manifold, both connections to be used. ** For installations where gas and liquid are discharged to open gutter, both connec- tions open.
Product Description | 2 NOTICE If applying the configuration shown in figure 4. The discharge pressure will rise and lead to an increase in shaft power. • Make sure the cross-sectional area of the gutter is large enough. NOTICE If recirculation of the service liquid is not required. Drainage of the liquid should comply with the appropriate environmental regulations.
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. The machine is capable of maintaining ultimate pressure, see Technical Data [► 26].
• Drain the operating liquid from the machine and the system before storage. • Or add an anti-freeze solution. After testing, all Busch Dolphin vacuum pumps are vented and drained. 4.1 Short Term (Up to 3 Months) • Seal all apertures with adhesive tape or provided caps.
• Make sure that the coupling is correctly aligned, see Fitting the Coupling [► 15]. If the machine is installed at an altitude greater than 1000 meters above sea level: • Contact your Busch representative, the motor should be derated or the ambient temperature limited.
Installation | 5 5.2.1 Suction Connection NOTICE Ingress of foreign objects. Risk of damage to the machine! If the inlet gas contains foreign solid particles: • Install a suitable inlet screen (smaller than 0.2 mm mesh size) upstream of the ma- chine.

Chemical compat- ibility should always be checked by competent personnel before use, particular atten- tion should be paid to elastomer material selection. If in doubt, please consult Busch. 5.4 Fitting the Coupling WARNING Unprotected coupling.
• Provide an overload protection according to EN 60204-1 for the motor. • Make sure that the motor of the machine will not be affected by electric or electro- magnetic disturbance from the mains; if necessary seek advice from Busch. • Connect the protective earth conductor.
Commissioning | 6 • Watch the fan wheel of the motor and determine the direction of rotation just before the fan wheel stops. If the rotation of the motor must be changed: • Switch any two of the motor phase wires. For motor wiring and wiring diagrams, please refer to motor manufacturers instruction manuals.
6 | Commissioning • Make sure that the installation conditions (see Installation Conditions [► 10]) are met. Before operating the machine: • Make sure that the operating liquid level is at the machine shaft centre. • Check the operation of all automatic valves before start up –...
• Check the operating liquid temperature, see Operat- ing Liquid Connection. • Check the machine for liquid leaks - in case of leaks have the machine repaired (contact Busch). If applicable check gland packing leakage rate (20 to 40 drips per minute) and adjust as required.
• Decontaminate the machine as much as possible and state the contamination status in a ‘Declaration of Contamination’. Busch will only accept machines that come with a completely filled in and legally binding signed ‘Declaration of Contamination’ (form downloadable from www.buschvacuum.com).
Use of non-Busch genuine spare parts. Risk of premature failure! Loss of efficiency! • The exclusive use of Busch genuine spare parts and consumables is recommended for the correct functioning of the machine and to validate the warranty. Spare parts kit Description Part no.
