4.2 Description
V-VC 202 and V-VC 303 have a micro filter on the intake side and an oil and oil mist separator for the return
of the oil to the oil system on the outlet side. The vacuum pump is housed in a sound cover. A fan between
the pump housing and the motor cools the air in the pump housing and cools the circulating oil.
An integral non-return valve prevents the evacuated system from being ventilated after the pump has
stopped. If the machine has been idle for more than two minutes the connected pipe should be ventilated to
atmospheric pressure.
A gas ballast valve fitted as standard (Fig. 2/U) prevents condensation of water vapour in the inside of the
pump when low amounts of steam are sucked in when the pump is at operating temperature. A reinforced
gas ballast (optional) can be used if there is a higher amount of water vapour.
The pumps are driven by standard flanged three-phase motors using a coupling.
These oil-flooded rotary vane vacuum pumps V-VC 202 and V-VC 303 are suitable for producing vacuum.
The nominal pumping capacity with free suction is 200 and 300 m3/h at 50 Hz. Data sheet D 232/20 shows
the dependency of the pumping capacity on the intake pressure.
These types are suitable for the evacuation of closed systems or for a continuous vacuum within the follow-
ing intake pressure ranges: 0.5 to 500 mbar (abs.).
If the machine is operated continuously outside these ranges there is the risk of oil leaking through the outlet
opening. When evacuating closed systems the volume to be evacuated must be no more than 2% of the
nominal pumping capacity of the vacuum pump.
For permanent operation of > 100 mbar (abs.) the next larger motor output must be used.
If the unit is switched on more frequently (at regular intervals of about 10 times an hour) or at
higher ambient temperatures and intake temperatures, the excess temperature limit of the motor
winding and the bearings may be exceeded.
Please contact the manufacturer should the unit be used under such conditions
If it is installed in the open air the unit must be protected from environmental influences, (e.g. by a
protective roof).
5 Installation
5.1 Preparing for installation
The suction flange (Fig. 2/D), oil filling point (Fig. 2/H), oil sight glass (Fig. 2/I), oil outlet (Fig. 2/K),
gas ballast (Fig. 2/U) a the oil removing device housing (Fig. 2/T) must be easily accessible.
The cooling air inlets (Fig. 2/E) and the cooling air outlets (Fig. 2/F) must be at least 30 cm away
from adjacent walls. Cooling air coming out must not be sucked in again.
For maintenance work there must be a space of at least 50 cm around the machine.
5.2 Installation
NOTICE
It is possible to install the machine on a firm base without anchoring. When installing on a substruc-
ture we recommend fixing with flexible buffers
WARNING
NOTICE
DANGER
NOTICE
Power supply
The conditions at the installation location must match
the information on the motor data plate. Without
derating the following is permissible:
• ± 5% voltage deviation
• ± 2% frequency deviation
WARNING
Improper use
May lead to severe or fatal injuries. Therefore be
sure to obey the safety instructions.
CAUTION
Hot surfaces
When the machine is at operating temperature the
surface temperatures on the components (Fig. 2/
Q) may go above 70°C.
You must avoid touching the hot surfaces (mar-
ked with warning plates).
CAUTION
Noise emission
The highest noise pressure levels measured as
per EN ISO 3744 are given in Section 9. When
spending a long time in the vicinity of the running
machine use ear protectors to avoid permanent
damage to your hearing.
CAUTION
NOTICE
DANGER
WARNING
Hot surfaces
During maintenance work there is the danger of
getting burnt on hot components (Fig. 2/Q …4/Q)
of the machine.
Wait for the machine to cool down.
Regular maintenance work must be carried out in order to ensure operational safety.
Maintenance intervals also depend on the operational demands on the machine.
With any work observe the safety instructions described in Section 2.8 “Safety notes for installation, com-
missioning and maintenance”.
The whole unit should always be kept in a clean condition.
