300676782_002_C0 General description What is vacuum and how is flow rate understood What is vacuum and how to denote A vacuum is any pressure in a system that is below the ambient atmospheric pressure. It can be denoted in absolute terms or in effective (gauge) terms: ...
300676782_002_C0 Displacement/volumetric flow rate For the relevant pressure range, when a CP / OP claw pump operates at quasi constant motor speed (rotations per minute) and since the compression chambers have fixed dimensions, the same volume of air is pumped from inlet to outlet with falling pressure level. Over the relevant pressure range, this makes the volumetric flow rate quasi-independent of the vacuum level.

300676782_002_C0 Figure 6 – Flow diagram - OP150, OP300 Dry claw overpressure pumps Over pressure Pump Air comes in through air inlet filter and silencer. The air flows through the non-return valve which prevents reverse flow of air to the inlet. The air is compressed in the element and exhausted at pressure through the pressure port.
300676782_002_C0 Cooling Figure 7 – Pump cooling The pump is cooled by forward curved fan located within the coupling housing. This provides air flow around the pump to aid cooling. The cooling fins also radiate the heat away and the motor fan cools the drive motor.
300676782_002_C0 system 2.4 Condensate Figure 8 – Position of Drain port Reference Name Drain port A port (1) at the base of the exhaust silencing chamber allows draining of the condensate. Humid versions of this vacuum pump may have a manual drain valve / tap installed to facilitate easy draining.

300676782_002_C0 CAUTION All pipes should be installed STRESS FREE to the pump unit. Location: Locate the pump horizontally on a level surface. Ensure surface must be clean, well lit, well ventilated and capable of taking the weight of the pump. The entire length of the frame base must be supported. Insert shim, where necessary (Do not use wood).
Page 28
300676782_002_C0 CAUTION At 2.5 bar (g) pressure, over-pressure pump can generate hot air up to 250°C, the pipe must be rated accordingly. Leakage in the pipework and accessories is a major factor that affect the performance and efficiency of the pump. Regular inspection and leak testing is recommended.
