2.3.1 COMBI The COBRA DS 3181 C vacuum pumps are a combination of a screw vacuum pump NS 0800 A (DP) and a Booster vacuum pump WY 3600 A (MB). The COMBI vacuum pumps are streamlined. The COBRA DS vacuum pumps are COBRA NS screw vacuum pumps with cooling water and nitrogen circuits.
2 | Product Description 2.3.2 Gas Flow Checks A pressure sensor TS5 at the discharge monitors the discharge pressure. If the pressure reaches more than the limit value (alarm, preset at the factory: 0.2 bar), the purge cycle starts. Oil Circuit Since the complete operating principle works without contact, no oil circuit is needed in the work ar- Cooling The vacuum pump is cooled by:...
