These explosion proof XP rotary vane vacuum pumps include an electrically sealed explosion proof motor. These explosion-proof motors are designed to limit the chance a spark from inside the motor could travel outward to ignite air born flammable vapors or materials in the laboratory where the pump is operating. Explosion proof vacuum pumps are typically needed in applications where flammable materials may accidentally leak into the room air where these pumps are used. Explosion Proof vacuum pumps are
NOT designed to evacuate vapors and gas mixtures which are explosive if ignited.
When the vacuum pump is used to pump flammable gases you must keep a closed air tight system by:
- Not opening the gas ballast, opening the gas ballast could cause air (O2) to enter the pump.
- Ensuring the foreline inlet and exhaust outlet are leak tight to avoid flammable gas leakage into the atmosphere or air (O2) from entering the pump housing.
- Using only an inert gas like Nitrogen (N2) at the gas ballast to purge or dilute harmful gases being pumped.
