Edwards can offer advice and assistance in matching your pump to your application. If you use the iXL120(N) system on an application for which it is not intended it may invalidate your warranty.
The table specifies minimum water flow rate that is required at 30 °C cooling water. The water flow rate can be reduced if colder water is supplied. Contact Edwards for additional information. Maximum flow of 5 l min to prevent condensation at 10 °C cooling water.
Edwards publication ‘Vacuum Pump and Vacuum System Safety’ (publication number P400-40-100). Only Edwards trained engineers may install the dry pumping system. Users can be trained by Edwards to conduct the tasks described in this manual, contact your local service centre or Edwards for more information.
Incorporate flexible pipelines in the vacuum pipeline to reduce the transmission of vibration and to prevent loading of coupling-joints. We recommend that you use Edwards braided flexible pipelines for exhaust connection. Adequately support vacuum/exhaust pipelines to prevent the transmission of stress to pipeline ...
You must obey the instructions and take note of any precautions given below to ensure that pumped gases do not enter their flammable ranges. The iXL120 and iXL120N are not suitable for use with potentially flammable or pyrophoric materials. ...
Gas purges WARNING The iXL120 and iXL120N pumps are not suitable for use with hazardous production materials. Any hazardous production materials must be diluted to a safe level before entering the pump. Gas purge is provided for the sole purpose of enabling the pumping of inert light gases such as helium.
