Introduction
1.2 Description
Note: There are two versions of 30B5M pumps, control configured versions and unconfigured versions: refer to
Section 3.7.1.
Refer to Figure 1. The 30B5M pump is a high throughput vapour booster pump. The 30B5M is designed for industrial
processes in which large quantities of gas or water vapour are evolved or processes which may result in heavy
contamination.
The pump has an interior jet assembly (3) inside the jet-stage cone (32) which is mounted vertically on the base of
the pump. The jet assembly has three jet-stages; each jet-stage has a jet on the top of a vapour tube (26). The pump
inlet-flange (1) is on the top of the first jet-stage.
The pump has two horizontal ejector-stages (29 and 30). The first ejector-stage (30) is below the jet-stages, the
second ejector-stage (29) is at the opposite end of the pump base. Each ejector-stage has a vapour tube (26) and a
conical ejector-jet (28 and 9).
The second ejector-stage (29) is connected to the backing-condenser (4), which is mounted vertically next to the jet-
stage cone (32). The backing-condenser has a flange to connect the backing-pump.
The pump is cooled by water which flows through copper cooling-coils (31) wound around the jet-stages, ejector-
stages and the backing-condenser.
Heaters (14) around the boiler at the base of the pump heat the pump fluid (15) to generate the required vapour.
There are 18 heaters in the pump, rated the same for all voltage variants (see Section 2.5). A radiation shield
underneath the heaters reflects heat from the back of the heaters to the boiler and so increases the efficiency of
the pump.

Introduction
1.3 Principle of operation
Pump fluid is heated in the base of the pump to produce a vapour which passes up through the interior of the jet-
stages and emerges from the jets as high-velocity vapour streams. The vapour streams condense on the cooled walls
of the jet-stage cone and the ejector-stage cones and drain into the base of the pump for recirculation.
A portion of system gas which arrives at the pump-inlet is trapped in the vapour stream from the first jet-stage. The
gases are compressed and transferred to the next stage. The gases then pass through the two ejector-stages and into
the backing-condenser where they are removed by the backing-pump.
The cooled surface of the guard-ring above the first jet-stage traps and condenses pump fluid vapour and minimises
any back-streaming of pump fluid vapour into the vacuum system.
1.4 Over-temperature protection
Note: The following sections describe the operation of the snap-switches on control configured pumps; you must
ensure that unconfigured pumps will operate in the same way: refer to Section 3.7.
1.4.1 Cooling-fail thermal snap-switches
Refer to Figure 1. The pump has three cooling-fail thermal snap-switches (7) on the cooling-coils. These snap-
switches are connected to the control-box (11). The snap-switches protect the pump against damage due to failure
of the cooling-water supply. If the temperature of the pump increases above 46 °C, the snap-switches will operate
to switch off the pump heaters. The snap-switches will reset automatically when the pump cools down.
The operating temperatures of the cooling-fail thermal snap-switches are preset for use with AP201 pump fluid. If
you want to use other fluid types in the pump, contact your supplier or Edwards for advice.
1.4.2 Boiler protection thermal snap-switches
Refer to Figure 1. The pump has two boiler protection thermal snap-switches (12). One snap-switch is fitted to the
fluid return-tube (8) from the backing-condenser, and the other snap-switch is fitted next to the drain plug (21).
These snap-switches are also connected to the control-box (11). The snap-switches protect the pump against damage
due to a low level of pump fluid. As supplied, the snap-switches will operate at 250 °C to switch off the heaters. You
can adjust the snap-switches to operate at different temperatures (refer to Section 4.4).
1.5 Full-heat and half-heat modes (control configured pumps only)
Control configured pumps have two operating modes: full-heat and half-heat. You can select these modes with the
Heater Power switch on the control-box (see Section 1.6).
The full-heat mode is the normal operating mode. When this mode is selected, all the heaters are switched on.
When the half-heat mode is selected, the electrical supply to some of the heaters is switched off. If you have a cyclic
process, you can select this facility when the 30B5M is not used to pump process gases; this will reduce the power
consumption of the pump, but also maintain the pump close to its operating temperature.
WARNING
Ensure that the boiler protection thermal snap-switches are wired into the pump control system,
and are correctly adjusted when the pump is fully charged with fluid and under vacuum.
The thermal trips are to protect the pump from overheating from low oil level, which may cause
the boiler to implode.

B064-04-880 Issue F
1.6 Control-box controls and lamp (control configured pumps only)
Refer to Figure 2. Control configured pumps have the following controls and lamp:
1.7 Performance
The pumping speeds and throughputs given in Section 2 were calculated from measurements made with total
pressure gauges. If partial-pressure gauges are used, the calculated values for pumping speeds are approximately 10%
higher. This is because partial-pressure gauges do not measure the pressure added to the system by condensable
gases.
We do not give absolute values for the ultimate pressure of the pump. The ultimate vacuum depends on the fluid
used in the pump, the leak tightness of the system, outgassing from surfaces and the use of cold traps.
1.8 Operation with high ambient humidity
When the pump is switched off, the heaters in the pump will absorb moisture: this will cause a decrease in the
insulation resistance of the heaters. If you operate the pump in an environment with high ambient humidity, this may
cause the heaters to fail. The rate of moisture absorption (and therefore the time taken for the insulation resistance
of the heaters to fall below the recommended value) depends on the ambient humidity and temperature and the
length of time that the pump is switched off.
In addition to the recommendations made in later sections of this manual, you can overcome the effect of high
ambient humidity if you:
Configure the electrical installation of the pump for 'soft-start' operation, when the pump is operated with
typically 20 to 25% of the nominal electrical supply voltage.
Install anti-condensation heaters under the base of the pump. Switch on these heaters when you switch off
the pump.
Detailed information about these recommendations is outside the scope of this manual. If you need more information
about the operation of the pump with high ambient humidity, contact your supplier or Edwards for advice.
Power Enable switch (1) Use this to reset the pump after it has been automatically shut down
because of an over-temperature fault, or if it has been isolated from the
electrical supply.
Power Enable lamp (2) This lamp is on when the pump is available for operation. When this lamp
is on, you can use the Heater Power switch to select full-heat or half-heat:
see below. If the lamp is off, you must press the Power Enable switch to
reset the pump before you can switch the heaters on.
Heater Power switch (3) Use this to switch off all of the heaters, or to select half-heat or full-heat
modes.
Electrical supply isolator (4) Use this to isolate the pump from the electrical supply.
Emergency stop switch (5) Use this in an emergency to isolate the pump from the electrical supply.

Installation
3.3 Locate and assemble the pump
Note: Surfaces of the pump are very hot during operation. If necessary, fit guard rails around the pump after you
have installed it, to prevent accidental contact with hot surfaces of the pump.
The base of the 30B5M pump has lifting-bolts (see Figure 1). Locate the base of the pump within practical working
distance from your electrical supply and your cooling-water supply. We recommend that you leave a gap of at least
1.6 m from the control-box end of the pump to allow you to easily replace the heaters.
After you have located the base of the pump, if your pump was supplied unassembled in two packages, assemble the
other components as described below.
1. Refer to Figure 1. Lift the jet-stage cone (32) over the pump, then lower the vapour tube (6) and jet
assembly (3) through the inlet-flange (1).
2. Connect the vapour tube (6) to the top of the T-tube.
3. Lower the jet-stage cone (32) onto the pump, then connect the bottom flange of the jet-stage cone (32) to the
T-tube.
4. Fit the braces which support the jet-stage cone (32).
5. Fit the guard-ring (2) and the 'O' ring to the pump inlet-flange (1).
6. Inspect all 'O' ring joints and ensure that they are tight; tighten any loose joints.
WARNING
Locate the pump on a flat, secure foundation. If you do not, it may become unstable and fall over.
WARNING
Use suitable lifting equipment to move the base of the 30B5M pump. The mass of the base of the
pump is 620 kg.
WARNING
If you mount the pump off of the floor, you must fit a suitable mesh shield (with hole size less than
10 mm) under the pump, to prevent accidental contact with unprotected electrical conductors in
the pump.
