For safe and effective operations from the start, pay attention to the following points. For complete details refer to the DSS Scroll pump instruction manual linked at the end of this page.
- To limit the compression at higher inlet pressure by the pump, there are two blow off valves in between the stages.
- The pump is not suitable for hazardous gases. The pump must only be used for non-hazardous applications.
- Potential hazards on the dry pumps include electricity, hot surfaces, process chemicals.
- The pump must be connected to a suitably fused and protected electrical supply and a suitable Earth (ground) point.
- Make sure that the motor is configured correctly for your electrical supply.
- Make sure that the direction of rotation of the pump is correct before you operate the pump.
- Make sure that your system can provide sufficient gas ballast and/or inlet purge to dilute toxic gases to safe limits.
- At high temperatures the tip seal wear product will begin to decompose, giving rise to gaseous fumes that can produce unpleasant symptoms.
- Leak test the system after installation and seal all the leaks found.
- Allow the pump to warm up and use full gas ballast and inlet purge before pumping condensable vapors.
- Purge the pump before you shut it down.
- We recommend major pump overhaul after 32000 hours.
- Dispose of the pumps in accordance with all national and local safety and environmental guidelines.
