3.2 Storage

4 Description of the Product

4.1 Construction

Airtech liquid ring vacuum pumps of the3AV type are closed coupled pumps.

The pump is of simple, robust construction.

4.2 Function

The liquid ring rotates inside the working areaeccentrically to the shaft. The impeller trans-mits the drive performance by the circulatingliquid ring as compression power to the gas tobe delivered. This produces low pulsationcompression.

The service liquid - normally water - must beadded and cooled continuously. This dissi-pates the resulting compression heat and addsliquid to the ring, since part of the liquid iscontinuously dissipated along with the gas on

the pressure side. The liquid can be separatedfrom the gas in a discharge separator at-tached.

The unit must be handled properlyduring transportation. For pumps with abase plate and motor, do not suspend thepump from the ring loop on the motor.

When not in use, The unit should be storedin a dry environment and covered to ensurethat it is free of any dirt or debris.

The motor also serves as a pump shaft.The shaft sealing is effected by a singleacting mechanical seal

Failure to observe all safety guidelineslisted in this section will invalidate anywarranty claims.

Installation Location

Always install the unit in an area where thepump is easily accessible.

The pump is supplied with suction and dischargeconnections for the operating liquid which aresealed to avoid contamination from any foreignsubstances. It is recommended that you do notremove the seals until the pipes are fitted.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The vacuum pump must be attached to acompletely flat base plate. If low vibration run-ning is desirable, the unit should be fixed to avibration insulated foundation.

The mounting position must be horizontal. Thesuction and discharge fitting of the pump shouldbe positioned vertically facing upward or horiz-ontally to the right (view towards pump). Thehorizontal discharge connection is situatedfrom the bottom. In order to keep the pumpfrom draining out when not in use, the dischargepipe should be raised up to the middle of theshaft.

5.5 Operation modes

5.5.1

(standard operation under normal conditions)

5.5.2

The heat exchanger W should be sized todissipate about 85% of the motor power andany possible heat or condensation. The heatexchanger W may be omitted if the vacuumpump will be run for a short period of timeand if the liquid in the system cools down toambient temperature during the period before itis restored.

The diameter of the suction, discharge and oper-ating liquid pipes should be equal to thecorresponding pump connections. For longerpipes, larger internal diameters should be con-sidered.

In order to avoid damage to the mechanicalseal, the pump must be operated in theproper direction of rotation.

Pump piping should be installed without strain.A flex connector should normally be providedfor the suction and discharge.

Before starting the pump check the integrity ofthe piping carefully.

A non-return valve must be mounted in thesuction pipe in order to avoid it being filled withoperating liquid and avoid a pressure drop in thevacuum system.

If an isolation valve is installed in the suctionand if the pump is run when this shut-off deviceis closed, cavitation will occur. This will damagethe pump during a longer working period.

If a shut off valve is installed in the discharge,care must be taken that the pump will not beoperated or kept running when the dischargevalve is closed.

Apart from proper electrical installation (takinginto account appropriate guidelines and regula-tions) check the pump's direction of rotation toensure it matches the arrow on the pump casing.

Always install a magnetic motor starter toprotect the pump motor.

Operating without a protective motor starter onthe input side that is properly set (see nameplate for currents) shall invalidate any claimsfor compensation of damages. The proper flowdirection of the gas is marked by arrows on thepump casing.

The set-up is per Figure 2a (page 8) The oper-ating liquid B consists of clean liquid F andcirculating liquid U. Liquid leaves the liquidseparator as discharge liquid A through theliquid discharge UA. The pressure of cleanliquid should exceed max. 0,2 bar the pressureat the pump discharge nozzle in the liquid sep-arator.

Closed circulation cooling should be used foroperating liquids that may be corrosive orhazardous or where highly combustible gasesare delivered. The set-up is per Fig. 3 (page 8).At connection UA a shut-off device will beattached. The operating liquid B consists ofcirculation liquid U. In the circulating pipe IU, aliquid pump PB has to be mounted. If the vacuumpump is to run for more than 5 minutes withoutwithout sufficient pressure difference betweensuction and discharge.

Continuous cooling will occur if sufficient liquidis available that is not being recycled as oper-ating liquid.

The unit is to be set-up according to Figure 4a.The connection UU will be sealed. The operatingliquid B consists of clean liquid F. The requiredpressure of clean liquid should not considerablyexceed 0 bar (atmospheric pressure).

If the clean liquid pressure is fluctuating consid-erably (from time to time an over pressure of 0,2bar will be exceeded), it is useful to provide apressure-reducing valve RF3 (Figure 2b) or leadthe clean liquid into a container b with float valveRF1.The pump primes the operating liquid B outof this container (Figure 4b). The level of theliquid should be in the middle of the shaft.

In situations where the gas and the liquid do nothave to be discharged separately, the liquidseparator may be omitted. It would then besufficient to install a pipe ID, leading to a dischargesink.

A side-mounted liquid separator has to beinstalled so that the liquid discharge is at thesame level as the shaft.

Setting up the unit

Select an operating mode that will ensure thatas little fresh liquid as possible is needed.

7.1 General

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

11

When handling air and other inert gases water isnormally used as the ring liquid. Ring liquidsother than water may also be used in order tomeet process requirements. The ring liquid mustbe free of foreign matter which could erode thecasing. Use filters as necessary to keep thepump free from contaminants.

At the desired operating temperatures, the kin-matic viscosity should be 4 mm 2/s; higher visco-sity in the operating liquid may require a largermotor.

The vapor pressure of the ring liquid should beno more than 16 mbar during vacuum operationat working temperature; higher vapor pressuresreduce the suction capacity and final vacuumfrom those indicated in the performance tablesand curves. When ring liquids other than waterare used, the performance data of the pumpmust be confirmed by Airtech.

Condensation of steam in the vacuum pumpmay cause cavitation and consequently destroyparts of the pump. Therefore, condensationbefore the vacuum pump is preferable (injectioncondenser, surface condenser, etc.) In somecases the condensate arising can also be drain-ed into the vacuum pump. For large quantites ofcondensate, a separate liquid pump may haveto be involved.

The published suction capacity will be reachedat an operating temperature of 15° C. Operationat higher temperatures will cause a reducedsuction capacity.

For vacuum operation with suction pressuresbelow 130 mbar, care should be taken that theoperating water temperature is not below 10°Cto avoid freezing of the suction nozzle.

7.2 Fresh Water Requirement

For once-through operation, a fresh waterquantity according to Figure 7 is necessary. Thefresh water requirement for partial recirculationis also shown in Figure 7. The temperaturedifference ∆t (temperature of operating waterminus temperature of fresh water) must be stip-ulated. When the operating temperature is toohigh for the desired vacuum level, cavitationwill occur.

For operation at other rotational speeds, thefresh water requirement is converted proportion-ally with the change of speed.

For full recirculation systems, the amount ofcirculating liquid is the same as that for partialrecirculation systems.

Example: 3AV 55

In case of an inlet pressure of 130 mbar the fresh water requirement at continued cooling FD = 0,37 m3/h, and

Note: 1 m3/nr water =4.4 gpm

When a shut-off valve is installed in the suction lineand the pump is run with the isolation valve closed,cavitation will occur. Consequently parts of the pumpcan be damaged if the pump is run for a long period.

If mainly steam is handled it will condense duringcompression, causing cavitation. In order to avoidcavitation, a small quantity of air or other dry gasshould be added at suction side. This can be accom-plished by:

• A vacuum relief valve h,

• Use of cavitation protection; UC can delay damagedue to occasional cavitation.

• Through a connecting pipe (with nozzle) to theliquid separator a.

The use of a gas ejector also avoids cavitation(see page 8).

In the event that fine-grained dust or dirt gets intothe pump, it can be rinsed out through theconnections USE during the operation from timeto time, in order to avoid wear-out.

When large quantites of dust or dirt will be enc-ountered, the discharge should be cleaned morefrequently. When the pump stops it will beemptied. In this case the pipe has to be closedbfore switching off the pump or the pump has tobe refilled to the middle of the shaft beforerecomissioning it.

When operating the pump with water, the hard-ness of the water has to be strictly observed, asvery hard water leads to formation of scale inthe pump. In such cases the required water hasto be treated (softened) before using it as ringliquid or the pump has to be opened from timeto time and the deposits have to be removed.As the impurities (rust, dirt, etc.) are gathered inthe liquid separator, it should be cleaned at thesame time.

8 Maintenance

Due to their simple and robust construction, thevacuum pumps in closed coupled version needlittle maintenance. Any maintenance work need-ed will normally result from the operatingconditions.
