1. Gas ballast
Two position gas ballast allows either 60 g/hr or 220 g/hr (290 g/hr on RV12) of water vapour to be handled. This can be combined with an oil return accessory and an oil mist filter to enable continuous pumping with no loss of lubrication. Gas ballast can be automated by fitting the optional solenoid operated gas ballast valve.
-
2. Motor
Wide range single phase motor with an external switch to change the voltage from high to low volts and 3 phase motor options meet the requirements of the IE2 efficiency rating.
-
3. Oil
Edwards RV pumps are supplied with an initial charge of ULTRAGRADE⢠Performance 19 oil. This premium quality oil has been specifically formulated with a unique package of additives to give the best vacuum performance of any mineral oil. As such it combines an extremely tightly controlled vapour pressure with a high resistance to oxidation for a long life. For oxygen rich applications PFPE prepared pumps are also available. XTRAGRADE ADVANCED PFPE 64 must be purchased separately for PFPE prepared pumps.
-
4. Inlet
Best in class anti-suckback protection
Rapid closing within 0.4 seconds of pump stopping
All Edwards RV pumps are supplied with an inlet seal and integrated inlet mesh filter.Smooth controlled opening by oil pressure to eliminate pressure surges
-
5. Mode switch
The unique mode selector switch means that one pump fits all, so you only need one model for both high throughput and high vacuum applications. In high throughput mode the selector switch increases the oil flow to the high vacuum stage allowing the pump to operate continuously with high inlet pressures without any wear or loss of lubrication.
-
6. Designed for easy maintenance
One size hex-head wrench to dismantle all parts
All parts self-aligning so no jigs or special assemblies required
Polymer blades with no springs or pins for easier assembly and greater reliability
Shaft seals can be replaced from the motor side without dismantling the pump mechanism
No O-rings between the slices for easier assembly
-
7. No customer wiring
Integral IEC connector allows easy connection to mains electric supply for single phase standard motor pumps.
