2 | Product Description NOTE Illustrations In this instruction manual the illustrations may differ from the machine appearance. NOTE Technical term. In this instruction manual, we consider that the term ‘machine’ refers to the ‘VL System’. NOTE Instruction manual supplement. This document is a supplement to the DOLPHIN LM and LT liquid ring vacuum pump instruction manual whose content remains valid.
Product Description | 2 2.1.2 Partial Recovery (Open Circuit) Description Process inlet (IN) Gas discharge (OUT) Operating liquid inlet (OPI) 50% of operating liquid liquid recov- ered Partial recirculation liquid system reduces the consumption of fresh liquid by recovering and recircu- lating 50% of the operating liquid.
2 | Product Description VL System Description The VL system description is written on the system’s nameplate. It is defined as in the following ex- ample: VL 0320 A T K O ZE M X Description VL = Compact liquid ring vacuum sys- Size of the vacuum pump Design status of vacuum pump M = Single stage (LM) vacuum pump,...
Product Description | 2 Operating liquid control valve (OPC) allows the operating liquid flow rate to be regulated for opti- mum performance of the system, with compound pressure gauge (CG) indicating the operating liq- uid pressure at the vacuum pump inlet. The suction non-return valve (NRV) prevents operating liquid from flowing back into the process when the system stops under vacuum.
3 | Transport Transport WARNING Suspended load. Risk of severe injury! ● Do not walk, stand or work under suspended loads. WARNING Lifting the VL system incorrectly. Risk of severe injury! Risk of damage to the machine! ● Do not lift the entire system by the vacuum pump and the motor. ●...
Risk of damage to the machine! ● 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. Instruction Manual Supplement DOLPHIN VL Systems_EN_en 11 | 36...
● Make sure that all provided covers, guards, hoods, etc. are mounted. 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 CAUTION Restriction of the separator vent. Will cause back pressure and possible separator failure. ● The separator vent piping should not be restricted as separator vessel is not pressure rated. NOTICE Discharge gas flow obstructed. Risk of damage to the machine! ●...
● If the machine is equipped with a power connector, install a residual current protective device to protect persons in case of isolation default. ● Busch recommends installing a type B residual protective device suitable for the electrical in- stallation.

7 | Commissioning The working pressure of the vacuum pump shall therefore be sufficiently above the vapor pressure of the operating liquid. In particular the pressure control in the vacuum system must by no means be achieved by throttling or even closing of the suction line! The vapor pressure of the operating liquid and consequently the ultimate pressure can be reduced by cooling.
Maintenance | 8 Maintenance DANGER Live wires. Risk of electrical shock. ● Electrical installation work must only be executed by qualified personnel. WARNING Machines contaminated with hazardous material. Risk of poisoning! Risk of infection! If the machine is contaminated with hazardous material: ●...
Interval Maintenance work Monthly ● Check the machine for liquid leaks - in case of leaks have the machine repaired (contact Busch). ● Check gauges are functioning – replace if damaged. Yearly ● Clean Y-strainer. ● Clean inlet screen if installed.
● Decontaminate the machine as much as possible and state the contamination status in a ‘Dec- laration 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).
10 | Decommissioning Decommissioning DANGER Live wires. Risk of electrical shock. ● Electrical installation work must only be executed by qualified personnel. CAUTION Hot surface. Risk of burns! ● Prior to any action requiring touching the machine, let the machine cool down first. ●...
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 Description Part no.
