YK08-0028-DI-002-08 4) You should also replace the oil if breathed in the solution to deteriorate lubrication of the oil as it would also cause biting inside. You shall have a risk if breathed in the solution in operation even you replaced the oil. 5) Caution shall be required for the operation under high pressure range.
YK08-0028-DI-002-08 4.2 Operation Start Before starting the pump, check the following again. 1) Piping and wire connection are completed (Refer to the “3.3 Air Suction Piping”, “3.4 Exhaust Connection” and the“3.5 Electrical Connection”). 2) Checking the oil level (Refer to “3.2 Lubrication”) Ensure that the oil level is between the two level lines on the oil level gauge.
Page 38
YK08-0028-DI-002-08 Follow the process described below if the rotation at start was not smooth; 1) Check first the oil level and fill it appropriately. 2) The oil might enter inside the Pump cylinder if you left the Pump stopped longtime (three days or more) even you kept the atmospheric pressure inside the Pump when stopped it last time.
YK08-0028-DI-002-08 4.3 Operation Stop 1) Close the vacuum valve on the Inlet side,open the vent valve to vent the pump,and shut down the pump. 2) After shutdown, open the vent valve to vent the pump to atmospheric pressure. The Vacuum pump gets high temperature during operation. VD151:temperature increase under non-load operation:25℃, VD151:temperature increase under high-load operation:45℃...
YK08-0028-DI-002-08 4.4 Gas Ballast Function This product is installed with the Gas ballast function as standard. It is applicable to breathe in the condensed gas such as the steam and solution vapor. Breathed condensed gas shall be liquefied through the Compress process of the Pump, mixed with the Pump oil and then cycled mixed together inside the Pump unit.
YK08-0028-DI-002-08 If you kept opening the Gas ballast valve when not exhausting the condensed gas, it might cause the oil splash, power loss or ultimate pressure rise. Keep the Gas ballast valve closed when not exhausting the CAUTION condensed gas. guaranteed pressure resistance of this pump is 0.03 MPa (0.3 kg / cm2) (gauge pressure).
The oil mist trap can be mounted to trap the oil mist discharged from the pump. The TMX-1 model is for the VD151/VD201. The trap with adapter can be set on the pump instead of the original exhaust pipe at the outlet.

YK08-0028-DI-002-08 5.3 Required Motive Energy Motive energy to drive the Vacuum pump is a total value of the work of the mechanical element on the rotary friction (mechanical work) and the work of compressing the air (compression work) that becomes maximum when the suction pressure is between 3×10 ~ 4×10 If the pressure went down under 10Pa, the compression work becomes smaller, then most of the motive energy shall be spent on the mechanical work.
YK08-0028-DI-002-08 6. Maintenance and Check 6.1 Maintenance You should check following points at least once per three days while you continue operation. Check the machine much more frequently during high overload operation (continuous operation 1kPa or more, repeated exhaust atmospheric pressure – vacuum). 1) Whether the Vacuum oil pump oil volume is between two level lines or not.
YK08-0028-DI-002-08 6.2.1 Pump Oil Level Check The pump oil level should be between the two level lines (MAX and MIN) on the oil level gauge. (Refer to the ” Fig. 3 Lubrication and oil level indication”.) 6.2.2 Vacuum Pump Oil Check The vacuum pump oil will be gradually deteriorated not only by contamination with sucked gas, but also by temperature rise during pump operation.
Page 49
YK08-0028-DI-002-08 1) The Pump oil might deteriorate in a shorter time depending on the use.It is recommended to replace the first Pump oil within ten days after operation start and see how it got dirty to determine the oil replacement cycle. 2) If the Pump breathes in a lot of water or the like, you should replace the oil more frequently.
