RV ATEX Rotary Vane Pumps

Product catalog summary
Introduction

This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of ATEX rotary vane pumps, specifically Group 2 Category 2 and 3. It highlights the importance of adhering to safety warnings to prevent damage and ensure safe operation. The pumps are designed to meet ATEX requirements for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, classified under Group II Category 2 for external ignition sources and Category 3 for internal sources. They are oil-sealed, sliding vane, high vacuum pumps suitable for laboratory and industrial use, featuring an inlet valve to prevent oil back migration and driven by ATEX-approved flameproof motors. The pumps are certified for use in explosive atmospheres, suitable for gas groups IIA, IIB, and IIC.

Normal and Abnormal Operation

The manual outlines conditions for normal operation, including correct electrical connections and safety interlocks, ensuring safe use in specified gas atmospheres. Prohibited uses include operating in higher ATEX category zones, using as a positive pressure compressor, and operating under high back pressure or reverse rotation.

System Data

Includes physical, mechanical, and electrical data such as dimensions, mass, noise, vibration, and specific electrical data for single-phase and three-phase pumps.

Installation

Details safety precautions and procedures for mechanical and electrical installation, including motor configuration and connection to electrical supply. Installation must be performed by skilled technicians familiar with vacuum equipment, maintaining positive pressure in the pump oil box and using inert gas purges for ATEX compliance.

Operation

Covers procedures for pumping flammable materials, gas purges, shutdown, and manual reset. Emphasizes the need for leak-tight systems and the use of inert gas purges to prevent condensation of flammable vapors.

Maintenance

Provides safety information, maintenance plans, and control intervals for ATEX coupling inserts. Maintenance is crucial for ATEX certification, requiring the system to cool and be isolated from electrical supply before maintenance. Weekly checks include ensuring secure cable glands, clean motor fan cowls, and sufficient oil levels.

Service and Spares

Information on service and spare parts is provided, with instructions for returning equipment. Standard maintenance kits are referenced in individual manuals, and additional spares can be obtained from Edwards.

Technical Data

Includes tables with torque settings for various pump components and specifies maintenance intervals for ATEX coupling inserts. It also provides electrical, mechanical, and noise data relevant to the pumps.
