NOTE
Illustrations
In this instruction manual the illustrations may differ from the machine appearance.

2.1

Operating Principle

The machine works on the Booster blower principle.
The two oil housings (on each side) allow the lubrication of the gears and bearings.
A bypass valve (BPV) limits automatically the differential pressure between inlet and outlet.

In case of foreseeable misuse outside the intended use of the machine.
Risk of injuries!
Risk of damages to the machine!
Risk of damages to the environment!
● Make sure to follow all instructions described in this manual.
The machine is intended for the suction of air and other dry, non-aggressive, non-toxic and non-explosive gases.
Conveying of other media leads to an increased thermal and/or mechanical load on the machine
and is permissible only after a consultation with Busch.

small.

● Use larger diameter or
shorter lines.

The backing pump is not correctly defined.

● Contact Busch.

The machine runs in the wrong
direction.

● Check the direction of rotation, see Wiring Diagram
Three-Phase Motor [➔ 16].

Internal parts are worn or
damaged.

● Repair the machine (contact
Busch).

Wrong oil quantity or unsuitable oil type.

● Use one of the recommended oils in the correct quantity, see Oil [➔ 33].

Defective gears, bearings orcoupling element.

● Repair machine (contact
Busch).

● See problem “The machineruns too hot”.

● Seek advice from your local
Busch representative.

ProblemPossible Cause

RemedyThe machine runs too hot.

Insufficient cooling.

● Make sure to comply withthe cooling water requirements, see Cooling Water
Connection [➔ 12].

Ambient temperature too high.

● Observe the permitted ambient temperature, see Technical Data [➔ 30].

Temperature of the processgases at the inlet too high.

● Observe the permitted gas
inlet temperature, see Technical Data [➔ 30].

Oil level too low.

● Top up oil.

The backing pump is not correctly defined.

● Contact Busch.

Oil change intervals are toolong.

● Drain the oil and fill in newoil, see Oil Change [➔ 22].

The machine runs too hot.

● See problem "The machineruns too hot".

The oil is black.

Further information about operation limits:
At the beginning of evacuation, the rated delta P and consequently, the rated current, might be exceeded. Especially, if the chamber size is large and the size of the backing pump is small. This could
lead to overheating of the vacuum booster pump or to overload of the motor. In case of doubt,
please contact the product management.
