Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides comprehensive safety guidelines and operational specifications for diffusion pumps, focusing on hazard elimination and safety measures. It includes tables of general hazards, explosive conditions, and pressurization hazards, with recommended corrective actions.
General Hazards: Key hazards include utility loss, overpressure, overtemperature, insufficient water flow, and high voltage. Recommended actions involve using interlocks, temperature sensors, pressure relief valves, and ensuring proper grounding.
Explosion Risks: Explosions may occur if the pump operates without proper evacuation or cooling, or if exposed to strong oxidizers. Hydrocarbon fluids are more prone to explosions than silicone-based fluids. Cleaning solvents like acetone and alcohol are flammable and must be removed before operation.
Pressurization Hazards: Vacuum systems are not designed for pressurization, which can cause components to burst. Pressure relief devices and redundant safety measures are recommended to prevent failures.
Dangerous Substances: Handling toxic, corrosive, or reactive gases requires proper ventilation and exhaust systems. Overheating pump fluids can become toxic, and process gases should be managed to prevent exposure.
High Temperatures and Voltages: The document warns of burns from hot surfaces and steam, and the lethal risk of high voltages. Systems should prevent contact with these hazards, and personnel should be trained in safe handling.
Large Equipment Handling: Moving and installing large pumps require power-assisted equipment and trained personnel to avoid accidents due to the heavy weight and size of the pumps.
Diffusion Pump Basics: Diffusion pumps are used for high throughput of heavy gas loads, operating at low pressures. They have no moving parts and rely on a multistage jet assembly to function. Proper cooling and fluid management are crucial for safe operation.
Operating Characteristics: Specifications for various pump models include operating range, pumping speed, throughput, and cooling requirements. Operating within specified limits is crucial to prevent breakdowns and fluid loss.
Physical Specifications: The document outlines dimensions and weights of pump models, such as the HS-16 and NHS-35, including flange dimensions crucial for installation and compatibility.
Unpacking and Setup: Guidelines for safely unpacking and inspecting pumps emphasize using power-assisted equipment and trained personnel.
Cleaning Procedures: Cleaning involves using acetone and alcohol, with a step-by-step process for disassembly and cleaning of components like the jet assembly and sight glass.
System and Utility Connections: Instructions for vacuum and cooling water connections are provided, emphasizing vertical installation and cooling water discharge limits.
Electrical Connections: Wiring instructions vary based on source voltage, with diagrams provided. Correct wiring is crucial to prevent hazards.
Overheating Detection: Thermal switches monitor temperature to prevent overheating, with guidance on troubleshooting and replacing faulty switches.
Warnings and Cautions: Numerous warnings highlight risks of improper handling, cleaning, and operation, recommending protective measures and safety equipment.
Element Resistance Specifications: Resistance values for different voltages are provided, with total resistance specified at 8100W and 9600W.
Initial Vacuum Test Procedure: An initial vacuum test ensures system tightness before charging with fluid, with warnings against pressurizing the vacuum system.
Adding or Changing Pump Fluid: Guidelines include using clean containers, avoiding fluid mixing, and checking for leaks, with warnings about hydrocarbon fluids.
Operation and Startup/Shutdown Procedures: Operational warnings include avoiding air leaks and maintaining cooling water circulation. Startup involves evacuating the pump, turning on cooling water, and powering the heater. Shutdown includes closing the inlet valve, turning off the heater, and cooling the pump before air release.
Maintenance and Cleaning: Regular maintenance checks are recommended, including fluid levels, heater connections, and cooling water flow. Cleaning involves using acetone and alcohol, with safety precautions due to their toxic and explosive nature.
Disassembly and Reassembly Procedures: Detailed procedures for disassembling and reassembling jet assemblies and replacing heaters are provided, with troubleshooting tips for common issues.
Replacement Parts: Lists of part numbers and descriptions for components like cold caps, jet assemblies, heater elements, and O-rings are provided for maintenance and repair.

Explosion □ Operation of the diffusion pump without continuous evacuation below 0.5 Torr (0.67 mbar), or without coolant and introducing a strong oxidizer (such as air) or explosive vapors or powders or materials which may react with pumping fluids in a hot pump (above 300 °F or 150 °C) can cause an explosion. Such an explosion can violently expel valves and other hardware, slam open doors that are not designed for appropriate pressure relief, or burst other components of the vacuum system. Serious injury or death may result from expelled parts, doors, shrapnel, and shock waves. □ Three elements...

Table 3 Pressurization Hazards Pressurization Hazards □ Large vacuum pumps and their components are designed for vacuum service; they are not designed to be pressurized which could cause them to burst possibly expelling shrapnel at lethal velocities. Serious accidents have been caused by intentional pressurization of vacuum systems and their components. □ Never pressurize any part of a vacuum system for test or any other purpose. □ Always provide pressure relief when designing diffusion pumps into systems and ensure that pressure relief motion is limited to safe envelopes. □ Never permit the...

High Temperatures □ Hot Surfaces: Boiler temperatures reach 530 °F (275 °C) which can cause serious burns. Always ensure that surfaces have cooled to near room temperature before touching them. □ Hot Cooling Water and Steam: The water used to cool the pump can reach scalding temperatures. Touching or rupture of the cooling surface can cause serious burns. Water left inside Quick Cool coils from previous use turns to steam when the pump is reheated. This steam must be allowed to escape without contacting personnel. Whenever possible, design the water system with interlock valves so that power...

High Throughput Diffusion Pumps Diffusion Pump Basics Pump Operation The diffusion pump works by heating the pump fluid to its boiling point. The vapors travel upward inside the jet assembly and are accelerated out and downward through the jet nozzles toward the cool outer walls of the pump, where the vapor condenses back into a fluid. As the vapor passes the inlet, it picks up elements of the gas to be exhausted and carries them to the ejector and out of the pump via the foreline. The pump’s ability to reach low pressures is governed in part by the inlet size. The gas migrates by thermal motion...
