Page 9: Description
The GVD 175 and GVD 275 pumps are two-stage oil-sealed, high-vacuum pumps designed for reliable, long-term operation in both laboratory and industrial environments. A four-pole three-phase motor provides direct-drive through a flexible coupling. The pumps are free-standing mounted on steel runners. -

If you do, there is a risk of fire or explosion in the oil-box of the pump. WARNING We do not recommend that you use the GVD 175 and GVD 275 pumps to pump hazardous substances. You must ensure that the pump is suitable for your application. -
Page 16: Unpack And Inspect
Instruction Book If you use the pump in a high ambient temperature and have a high gas throughput, the temperature of the pump-body may exceed 70°C. You must fit suitable guards to prevent contact with hot surfaces. Make sure that the exhaust pipeline cannot become blocked. If you have an exhaust- ... -
Page 17: Connect The Pump To The Cooling Water
If you pump oxygen or other dangerous gases and vapours, you must use a chemically inert and stable oil (such as perfluoropolyether). For information on pumping dangerous gases and vapours, refer to the Atlas Copco guidelines on vacuum pump and vacuum system safety (see Associated Publications at the end of the contents list). -

Instruction Book Figure 3 – Oil level indication 4. Refit the oil filler-plug. Tighten the plug firmly by hand. Do not over-tighten. Electrical installation 3.7.1 Connect the pump to your electrical supply WARNING Ensure that the electrical installation of your pump-motor conforms with your local and national safety requirements. -
Page 19: Connect The Pump Inlet To Your System
Instruction Book 1. Remove the cover from the motor terminal-box. 2. Check your electrical supply voltage and frequency. If necessary, configure the motor to operate with your electrical supply. For motor wiring information refer to the wiring diagram supplied in the motor terminal box. 3. -
Page 20: Connect The Pump Outlet To Your System
Instruction Book Take note of the following information when you connect the pump to your vacuum system. For optimum pumping speeds, ensure that the pipeline connected to the inlet-port is as short as possible and has an internal diameter not less than the inlet-port diameter. Support the vacuum pipelines to prevent loading of the coupling-joints. -
Page 21: Gas-Ballast Inlet Connection
Instruction Book 3.10 Gas-ballast inlet connection As shown in Figure 5 (item 3), the pump has two gas-ballast inlets. We supply the pump with a blanking plug fitted to one inlet: the other inlet is open. You can use either of the inlets, but you must fit the blanking plug to the inlet you do not use. -
Page 22: Operation
Instruction Book Operation Gas-ballast control Use the gas-ballast control (Figure 1, item 1) to change the amount of air introduced into the low-vacuum stage of the pump. Use of the gas-ballast will prevent the condensation of vapours in the pump. The condensed vapours would contaminate the oil. Turn the gas-ballast control fully clockwise: to achieve ultimate vacuum ... -
Page 23: To Achieve Ultimate Vacuum
Section 2, make sure that this is not due to your system design before you contact your supplier or Atlas Copco for advice. In particular, the vapour pressure of all materials used in your vacuum system, including pump oil, must be much lower than the specified ultimate vacuum of the pump. Refer to Section 5.12.2... -
Page 24: Unattended Operation
Instruction Book 3. Turn the gas-ballast control fully anti-clockwise. 4. Operate the pump until the oil is clear. Unattended operation The pump is designed for unattended operation under the normal operating conditions specified Section 2. However, we recommend that you check the pump at a regular interval of not more than 14 days. -
