610.44434.40.000 · 08.2019 8 / 44 © Gardner Denver Deutschland GmbH
Working in a safety-conscious manner
Work on running or energised vacuum pumps/compressors can lead to seri-
ous injuries due to body parts being drawn in or crushed or death due to
electric shock.
Work on the G-BH1 | G-BH9 at a standstill only and in a de-energized condi-
tion.
!With G-BH1 | G-BH9 with drive controller, the drive controller continues to be
under current after switching off due to the intermediate circuit voltage, which
is reduced only slowly
1. After switching off wait at least 3 min.
2. Before opening the drive control, ensure that it is de-energised.
Pressures and ejected media can cause serious injuries.
1. Depressurise the system before starting work on the G-BH1 | G-BH9.
2. Check that all components are depressurised.
3. Check that no media can escape.
Screws can damage the thread when screwed in repeatedly. This can cause
screwed parts to become lose and lead to severe injuries.
1. Replace damaged screws.
2. Insert screws into the open thread by hand.
3. Afterwards, use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.
During operation and after decommissioning, contact with hot surfaces can
lead to burns.
On the G-BH1 | G-BH9, temperatures during operation can reach 160°C [320°F].
On the 2BH1...-6 type, temperatures during operation can reach 200°C [382°F].
1. Do not touch hot surfaces during operation.
2. Keep hot surfaces clear of highly inflammable materials.
3. Allow the G-BH1 | G-BH9 to cool after shutting it down.
Operation with exposed or damaged parts can lead to serious injuries due to
body parts being drawn in and severed or crushed.
1. Replace damaged parts prior to beginning operation.
2. Re-attach safety and protective devices and put them back into operation
immediately after completion of work.
3. The G-BH1 | G-BH9 should only be put into operation when fully assembled.
Changes, additions and conversions may lead to unforeseeable risks and
thus to serious injuries or death.
Modifications, additions and conversions not described in the general documenta-
tion are the sole responsibility of the operator.
Only use original parts or parts and auxiliary materials (grease, sealant) recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
Keep all notices attached to the G-BH1 | G-BH9 in a clearly legible condition:
▪Labelling of connections
▪rotation arrows
▪Rating plate
▪Warning signs

Personal protective equipment
WARNING
Danger of crushing and cutting!
Crushing and cutting of body parts due to sharp edges or falling parts on
the open G-BH1 | G-BH9.
1. Wear protective gloves, safety footwear and safety goggles for all assembly
and disassembly, troubleshooting and maintenance work.
2. In addition, wear head protection for transportation and overhead work.
WARNING
Risk of injury!
Serious injuries due to body parts and hair being sucked or drawn in (vacu-
um) or due to projected particles (pressure).
1. Wear eye protection and tight clothes for all work when in operation.
2. Wear a hair net for long hair.
3. Remove jewellery and rings.
WARNING
Hearing damage!
Hearing damage due to time spent in noisy area under adverse operating
conditions or due to noise caused by conveyed media being discharged
from the gas outlet or piping.
Wear ear protection when remaining in the excessive noise area.

Requirements of the operator
WARNING
Destruction due to bursting or exploding!
Any machine that is operated at a pressure or speed that is beyond that
which is permitted can explode or burst and cause serious injuries due to
parts flying off and conveyed media being suddenly ejected.
1. The operator must ensure that the pressure differences [➙40] that affect G-
BH1 | G-BH9 are not exceeded.
2. The operator must ensure that the revolutions [➙40] are not exceeded.
WARNING
Risk of injury!
As the G-BH1 | G-BH9 is not air-tight, conveying material other than air can
lead to severe or fatal injuries (e.g.: asphyxiation, burns).
Adhere to the safety measures described for the material being conveyed (if
necessary, check leakage rates and provide for gas monitoring or forced ven-
tilation).
The operator ensures that:
▪All work on the G-BH1 | G-BH9 is carried out by:
– personnel that have the necessary Personnel qualifications and training [➙
9]
– personnel that have been sufficiently informed of these instructions and all
related documents [➙6]
▪Assignment, responsibility and supervision of personnel is regulated.
▪The content of these and locally applicable instructions are always available to
personnel.
▪Personnel are informed of possible dangers related to conveyed material and
the necessary safety precautions.
▪All local and plant-specific safety measures are complied with:
▪The free drawing in or emission of the conveyed media does not place any
personnel in danger.
▪Dangers due to electrical energy are not possible.

Function principle
The side-channel compressor consists of a drive (motor) and a compressor part in
which an impeller rotates contact-free in the side-channel.
Side-channel compressors can be used as a vacuum pump or are used as the
compressor (observe Correct use of the equipment [➙7]).
As soon as the motor is switched on, conveyed media is suctioned via the gas in-
let (1).
When it enters the side-channel the conveyed media is accelerated in the direc-
tion of rotation by the blades of the rotating impeller (3).
The centrifugal force presses the conveyed media to the inner wall of the side-
channel (2). From there, the conveyed media is supplied to the impeller blades
again.
With every renewed entry of the conveyed media into the impeller, it gains kinetic
energy and the pressure increases.
The cross section of the side-channel is limited at the interrupter.
In this manner, the conveyed media is stripped from the impeller blades and ex-
pelled via the gas outlet (4).
