Specifications:The document outlines various models and components in vacuum technology, including pressure switches, gauges, regulator valves, non-return valves, and lubricant oils for
vacuum pumps. Key specifications include:
- Model SIF.1: A diaphragm pressure switch with a normally open contact and a bimetal thermometer set to 30°C, used for monitoring filter efficiency.
- Model SIF.2: A mechanical Bourdon spring pressure gauge for visual pressure indication and filter clog warnings.
- Flow and Vacuum Regulator Valves: These adjust flow pressure using a screw or knob, with settings based on circuit throughput.
- Non-Return Valves: Made of bronze with NBR rubber gaskets, designed to prevent load loss and available for different mounting positions.
Procedures and Recommendations:Guidelines for effective component use include:
- Using manufacturer-supplied oils or those with specified characteristics to ensure pump performance and prevent damage.
- For high vacuum pumps, using oils with low vapor tension and hygroscopic content to maintain efficiency.
Standards and Norms:
References include standards like EN 60529 for protection class (IP65) and EN 8293 for accuracy class (2.5).
Lubricant Oils:Details on appropriate oils for vacuum pumps include:
- BV Series Oils: For lubricated pumps, offering high viscosity index and chemical stability.
- AV Series Oils: For high vacuum pumps, with low vapor tension.
- SW Series Oils: Multi-purpose oils for rotary pumps, reducing deposits.
Specifications and Properties:
PAO-based oils are highlighted for their anti-wear, anti-oxidant, demulsifying, and deaerating capabilities, maintaining pump cleanliness and efficiency. They are stable at high temperatures and compatible with most lubricants, excluding silicone-based ones.
Advantages:
Benefits include excellent deaeration, anti-foam properties, high oxidation resistance, and prolonged service life with minimal maintenance.
Important Considerations:
Vacuum oils are combustible. If a pump intakes mixtures with over 21% oxygen, it can lead to oil oxidation and potential pump damage. Pumps designed for PFPE-type oil should be used in such cases.
Comparison Table:
A table compares oil types and specifications, including viscosity, operating pressure, temperature, and flashpoint. AV and SW series oils have no commercial equivalents.
