Risks during installation
DANGER
Danger to life from electric shock
Touching exposed and voltage-bearing elements causes an electric shock. Improper connection of
the mains supply leads to the risk of touchable live housing parts. There is a risk to life.
►Before the installation, check that the connection leads are voltage-free.
►Make sure that electrical installations are only carried out by qualified electricians.
►Provide adequate grounding for the device.
►After connection work, carry out an earthed conductor check.
WARNING
Danger of poisoning due to toxic process media escaping from the exhaust pipe
During operation with no exhaust line, the vacuum pump allows exhaust gases and vapors to escape
freely into the air. There is a risk of injury and fatality due to poisoning in processes with toxic process
media.
►Observe the pertinent regulations for handling toxic process media.
►Safely purge toxic process media via an exhaust line.
►Use appropriate filter equipment to separate toxic process media.

CAUTION
Danger of injury from moving parts
After a power failure or a standstill as a result of overheating, the motor restarts automatically. There
is a risk of injury to fingers and hands if they enter the operating range of rotating parts.
►Safely disconnect motor from the mains.
►Secure the motor against reactivation.
►Dismantle the vacuum pump for inspection, away from the system if necessary.
CAUTION
Danger of injury from bursting as a result of high pressure in the exhaust line
Faulty or inadequate exhaust pipes lead to dangerous situations, e.g. increased exhaust pressure.
There is a danger of bursting. Injuries caused by flying fragments, the escaping of high pressure, and
damage to the unit cannot be excluded.
►Route the exhaust line without shut-off units.
►Observe the permissible pressures and pressure differentials for the product.

3 Product description
3.1 Function
The rotary vane pumps of the HenaLine are single-stage, oil-sealed rotary positive displacement pumps
with air cooling and circulatory lubrication. A non-return valve in the vacuum connection closes the in-
take line automatically when the rotary vane pump is switched off and prevents an operating fluid return
flow. The integrated oil mist filter cleans the conveyed gas and prevents the operating fluid mist from
being emitted at the exhaust. The operating fluid collected in the separator is supplied back to the rotary
vane pump. A filter is also installed on the operating fluid separator for cleaning the operating fluid.
Fig. 2: Operating principle
The pumping system is made up of the housing, the eccentrically mounted rotor, and the centrifugally
sliding vanes, which divide the suction chamber into multiple chambers. The volume of each chamber
changes periodically as the rotor rotates. This causes the gas to be continuously drawn in at the vac-
uum connection and compressed in the suction chamber by the rotation of the rotor until the exhaust
valve opens against the atmospheric pressure and the gas leaves the suction chamber.

3.1.1 Operating fluid
The pump oil, also known as operating fluid, fulfills various tasks in a rotary vane pump:
●lubrication of all moving parts
●filling part of the dead volume under the exhaust valve
●sealing the gap between the intake and exhaust channel, and between the vanes and the working
chamber
●ensuring an optimal temperature balance through heat transfer
Product description
17/62

3.1.2 Cooling
The rotary vane pump is cooled by thermal radiation from its surface, the air current from the two fans
and the pumped gas.
In case of thermally unfavorable ambient conditions, Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends the use of a pump
version with oil/water heat exchanger.
●Air cooling (standard)
●Oil/water heat exchanger (optional)
3.1.3 Gas ballast system
The gas ballast system supplies air to the working chamber of the rotary vane pump periodically at the
beginning of the compression phase. When pumping down vapors, this air prevents condensation within
certain limits in the rotary vane pump. The gas ballast valve affects the final pressure of the rotary vane
pump.
3.1.4 Operating fluid return via the float valve
Function of the operating fluid return
The operating fluid return functions only at an operating pressure of < 800 hPa.
The rotary vane pump is equipped with an operating fluid return as standard. If the operating fluid col-
lected in the operating fluid separator reaches a certain level, a float valve opens and the ejected oper-
ating fluid is returned to the intake port of the vacuum pump.
3.2 Identifying the product
►To ensure clear identification of the product when communicating with Pfeiffer Vacuum, always
keep all of the information on the rating plate to hand.
►Observe the motor-specific data on the motor rating plate attached separately.

4 Transportation and Storage
4.1 Transporting the vacuum pump
WARNING
Risk of serious injury from swinging, toppling or falling objects
During transport, there is a risk of crushing and impact on swinging, toppling or falling objects. There
is a risk of injuries to limbs, up to and including bone fractures and head injuries.
►Secure the danger zone if necessary.
►Pay attention to the center of gravity of the load during transport.
►Ensure even movements and moderate speeds.
►Observe safe handling of the transport devices.
►Avoid sloping attachment aids.
►Never stack products.
►Wear protective equipment, e.g. safety shoes.
NOTICE
Equipment damage from operating fluid leaking into the pumping system.
If the vacuum pump is tipped, the operating fluid will overflow into the pumping system, resulting in
the vane breaking when the vacuum pump is switched on.
►Always transport the vacuum pump horizontally or without operating fluid filling.
►Fill in the operating fluid only at the final installation location.
Preparations for transport
Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends keeping the transport packaging and original protective cov-
er.
General information regarding safe transport
1. Observe the weight specified on packaging.
2. Use personal protective equipment, e.g. safety shoes.
3. Use transport equipment (e.g. fork lift truck or lift truck).
4. Where possible, always transport or ship the product in the original packaging.
5. Be mindful of transport damage.
6. Always place the product on an adequately sized, level surface.
Transporting the vacuum pump with its packaging
1. Observe safe handling of manually operated transport devices.
2. Note the center of gravity of the load.
3. Use a fork lift truck or pallet truck to transport the vacuum pump on a pallet in its packaging.
4. Ensure harmonious movements and moderate speeds.
5. To protect the inside of the pump, leave both protective covers on the connections during trans-
port.
