2.5 Vacuum Pump
The pump provides a vacuum source for the transport and sample flow system. The pump
exhaust connects to the manufacturing facility central toxic exhaust system.
Note: The exhaust line from the VC4™ should not exceed 50 feet.
The pump is located in the VC4™ system cabinet. The cooling fan circulates air over the pump.
The VC4™ system draws cooling air in through a filter mounted on the front panel of the
cabinet.
