2 | Product Description NOTE Technical term. In this instruction manual, we consider that the term ‘machine’ refers to the ‘vacuum pump’. NOTE Illustrations. In this instruction manual, the illustrations may differ from the appearance of the machine. Operating Principle Water-cooled version with direct cooling Water-cooled version with plate heat exchanger (optional) The machine works on the one-stage, twin-screw pump principle.
Conveying of other media leads to an increased thermal and/or mechanical load on the machine and is permissible only after a consultation with Busch. The machine is intended for the placement in a non-potentially explosive environment.
