Glossary

1 Glossary
In these instructions the following technical terms with the specified meaning are used:

Designation: Definition:

Vacuum pump Machine for generating a vacuum.

Compressor Machine for generating a gauge pressure.

Machine Here: Vacuum pump or compressor.

Unit for extracting, transporting and compressing gases and/or vapors, as well as
for generating vacuum and gauge pressure. Here the drive is not considered part
of the machine.

Pump-motor unit Unit consisting of a machine and a drive motor.

Machine set Two or more machines that are interconnected with couplings and mounted on a
common base frame.

Driving side; Side of the machine on which the drive is connected.

D side

Non-driving side; Side of the machine on which no drive is connected.

N side

Inlet pressure Pressure of the pumped gases/vapors on the inlet connection of the machine.

Discharge pressure; Pressure of the pumped gases/vapors at the discharge connection of the machine.
Compression pressure

Test pressure Pressure to which the machine is subjected when testing for leaks.

Qualified personnel Persons who, based on their training, experience and instruction, as well as their
knowledge of the pertinent standards, regulations, accident protection regulations
and operating conditions, are capable of carrying out certain tasks (e.g. start-up,
operation, maintenance, repair) and can recognize and avoid possible dangers in
the process. The required knowledge includes a knowledge of first aid and of the
on-site emergency equipment.
These persons must be authorized by the person responsible for system safety to
perform the required tasks.

The pump-motor unit can function in several
different operating modes.
Non-automatic operation
These differ in how the pump-motor unit is

switched on and off manually with a stop valve.
 Self-priming operation

 Operation with operating-liquid feed:

Transport and handling by means of a crane Attach the strap belts as shown in Fig. 4,
and strap belts is advisable. Pg. 21:
 Use two strap belts, of which one is routed
under the vacuum pump/compressor
housing, and one under the fan guard.
 The strap belts should be seated securely
in the undercuts so that the unit cannot slip
out.
 The belts must be sufficiently long (spread
angle smaller than 90°).
 Make sure that no damage is caused to any
attached fittings.

13.5 Cavitation protection

Cavitation is understood to be the production
and sudden implosion of gas bubbles in the
liquid being fed. If the pressure in the vacuum
pump/compressor drops below the evaporation
pressure of the liquid (on the intake side or in
constricted areas), gas bubbles form. When
the pressure increases above the evaporation
pressure again (on the discharge side or at
points with a larger cross-section), these gas
bubbles collapse while forming high pressure
peaks, which may lead to particles being torn
out of the housing wall and impeller. Noise is
radiated. Material destruction of the pump-
motor unit is possible. To prevent this,
measures should be taken for cavitation
protection.

To protect the unit from cavitation, connect the

cavitation-protection hose of the liquid
separator to the connection for cavitation
protection (Fig. 7, Pg. 25, Item 4).
