Tips for 2XZ Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump Maintenance
The following are some common maintenance tips:
- Cleanliness: Keep the pump clean to prevent contaminants from entering the pump.
- Filter: A filter is recommended. Monitor and replace the filter regularly to prevent solids and liquids from entering the pump. The upper and lower connections of the filter are spaced about 3/5 of the overall filter height. When there is too much water solution, it can be drained through the drain screw plug and tightened promptly.
- Pay attention to the oil cleaning: If the pump oil becomes dirty, turbid, or contains water or other volatile substances, it will affect the ultimate vacuum. You can open the gas ballast valve to purify it at this time. Observe the ultimate vacuum recovery. If the ultimate vacuum is not recovered after several hours, the pump oil should be replaced.
- Replacement of pump oil method: The pump runs for about half an hour, making the oil thin. Stop the pump from the oil drain hole to drain the oil, and then open the air inlet to run for 10-20 seconds. During this time, you can slowly add a small amount of clean pump oil from the suction port to replace the oil in the pump chamber memory. If the oil coming out is dirty, the latter can be repeated.
- Maintain oil level: Check the oil level when the pump is running. It should be maintained in the middle of the sight glass.
- Oil: Change the oil regularly to prevent contamination, which can cause performance problems and pump failure. It is recommended that the oil be changed every 100 hours of operation or every six months to a year.
- Oil quality: Avoid mixing diesel fuel, gasoline, or other oils with high saturated vapor pressures with vacuum oil as this may reduce the ultimate vacuum.
- Vanes: Vanes should be replaced when they are one-fourth shorter than new. When replacing the vanes, the bearings and gaskets should also be replaced.
- Oil loss: Use a crude oil separator in the discharge line to minimize oil loss.
- Backup pump: Keep a spare pump on hand to minimize downtime.
- Storage: If improper storage causes moisture or other volatiles to enter the pump chamber, open the gas ballast valve to purge. If the ultimate vacuum is affected, consider changing the oil.
- Installation: Install the pump in a clean, dry, and ventilated area.
- Periodic inspection and maintenance: Periodically check the pump’s ultimate pressure and calibrate using a compression mercury vacuum gauge. Check that the pump steers properly and sounds normal.
- Cleaning and overhaul: If the pump needs to be disassembled for cleaning or overhauling, attention must be paid to the disassembly steps to avoid damaging the parts. When disassembling and cleaning the parts inside the 2XZ rotary vane vacuum pump, it is generally OK to wipe them with gauze. If there are metal chips, sand, mud or other harmful substances to be cleaned, gasoline can be used for scrubbing and drying before assembling, do not use gasoline to soak.
