Principle of Operation
Refer to Fig. 2, the rotor mounted eccentrically in the pump cylinder, has two vanes which divide the pump chamber into three changeable compartments. When the rotor rotates clockwise, gas is sucked into chamber 1 gradually, transferred by chamber 2, and compressed and exhausted by chamber 3. The working cycle is repeated to achieve the vacuum of the system. The exhausted gas from the first stage goes into the second stage (low-vacuum stage) through air channel, and is compressed again before discharging into atmosphere to achieve a lower ultimate vacuum pressure.
Principle of Gas Ballast
The controllable gas (generally dry air at room temperature) is admitted into the pump chamber. It is mixed with pumped vapor during the gas compression process.This increases the percentage of non-condensable gas such that the partial pressure of the vapor being pumped is below its saturated vapor pressure when the exhaust valve opens. The vapor is then discharged from the pump without liquefaction. The more vapor contained in the pumped gas, the more dry air is required (See Fig. 7 Gas ballast valve).

Table 2
Connection to System
|
|
The pump is strictly forbidden to operate in areas with risk of fire and explosion |
|
|
Make sure the gas flow at the exhaust port is not blocked or restricted in any way. Check to ensure the exhaust line is not obstructed by deposits before start-up. |
|
|
The exhaust pressure shall not be 1.15 bar higher than the absolute pressure (relative pressure 0.15 bar) but not be lower than atmospheric pressure. |
|
|
Take the following into account to choose the pump installation site: convenient for installation, maintenance, disassembly and electrical connections as well as good ventilation. |
|
|
Place the pump feet horizontally or fix the feet with bolts while connecting the pump to vacuum system. |
|
|
Oblique installation may result in pump’s vibration, high noise or even damage. The pump shall be set up on a flat and firm surface. |
|
|
The length of connecting line between pump and vacuum system shall be as short as possible. The diameter of the connecting line shall be the same as that of intake port. |
|
|
The hoop at intake port is available for connection with vacuum hose or regular vacuum pipe. No any stress generated by the pipe on the hoop is allowed while connecting. |
|
|
The exhaust line should be laid so that it slopes down so as to prevent condensate from backstreaming into the pump and contaminating the oil. Drain the oil in the exhaust line periodically to avoid block of exhaust line. If the exhaust line slopes up, the installation of a condensate trap is necessary. Check leak of the connection between pipe and flange. Vacuum tightness is essential for the achievement of ultimate pressure of the pump. |
Symbols for Switch that Controls the Motor
|
|
NRD24M/30M employs an automatically reset thermal limiter which can shut off the entire product. In the event that the thermal limiter operates, nothing is need to do but waiting for the motor to restart automatically if it has been cooled to the temperature which is specified by the thermal limiter type. Of course. users can also choose to cut off the power supply and re-energize it until the motor has been cooled to the ambient temperature. |

Do not use an adapter with this product. When the product must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection shall be made by qualified service personnel. |
Initial Start and Operation
Start-up
|
|
Make sure the gas flow at the exhaust port is not blocked or restricted in any way. Do not start the pump if the exhaust port is blocked. |
|
|
The oil level shall be kept between position MAX and MIN of oil sight glass. Excessive or insufficient oil will decrease the pump performance or even cause malfunction. The pump must be stopped before adding oil. |
|
|
Make sure the gas flow at the exhaust port is not blocked or restricted in anyway. Do not start the pump if the exhaust port is blocked. |
|
|
The operating ambient temperature is 10 – 40 C and humidity should be less than 85%. |
Operation
|
|
High temperature hazard! Do not touch the surface! The surface of the pump could be very hot during operation and after shutdown within one hour. |
Pumping non-condensable gases
Close the gas ballast to pump non-condensable gases (Set the gas ballast to position C, refer to Fig. 7). The ultimate pressure will rise (loss of vacuum) with gas ballast opened.
Pumping condensable gases and vapor
If the vacuum system contains a small amount of condensable gas, open the gas ballast valve (Set the gas ballast to position I or II, refer to Fig. 7) and keep the pump running for at least 30 minutes to pump the condensable gas effectively. Close the gas ballast valve when the vacuum system pressure is reduced to a certain value. If the pump operates at low temperature, condensable gas may be dissolved in the pump oil. The oil may be emulsified or deteriorated which will affect the pump performance, even cause corrosion of the pump body.The rise of oil level during pump operation is a sign of condensable gas contained in the vacuum system.Do not switch off the pump immediately when the process is finished. Keep the pump running with gas ballast open and intake port closed until all gases dissolved in the oil are removed.
Inspection and Maintenance
|
|
All checks and maintenance must be performed by trained personnel in accordance with local safety rules and regulations. |
|
|
