overpressure and make sure that the pump system is at atmospheric pressure level.
8. Never use flammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride for cleaning parts. Take safety precautions
against toxic vapours of cleaning liquids.
9. Scrupulously observe cleanliness during maintenance and repair. Keep dirt away by covering the parts
and exposed openings with a clean cloth, paper or tape.
10. Never weld or perform any operation involving heat near the oil system. Oil tanks must be completely
purged, e.g. by steam cleaning, before carrying out such operations. Never weld on, or in any way
modify, pressure vessels.
11. Whenever there is an indication or any suspicion that an internal part of a machine is overheated, the
machine shall be stopped but no inspection covers shall be opened before sufficient cooling time has
elapsed; this to avoid the risk of spontaneous ignition of the oil vapour when air is admitted.
12. Never use a light source with open flame for inspecting the interior of a machine, pressure vessel, etc.
13. Make sure that no tools, loose parts or rags are left in or on the machine.
14. All regulating and safety devices shall be maintained with due care to ensure that they function
properly. They may not be put out of action.
15. Before clearing the machine for use after maintenance or overhaul, check that operating pressures,
temperatures and time settings are correct. Check that all control and shut-down devices are fitted and
that they function correctly. If removed, check that the coupling guard of the vacuum pump drive shaft
has been reinstalled.
16. Every time the separator element is renewed, examine the discharge and the inside of the oil separator
vessel for carbon deposits; if excessive, the deposits should be removed.
17. Protect the motor, air filter, electrical and regulating components, etc. to prevent moisture from entering
them, e.g. when steam cleaning.
18. Make sure that all sound damping material and vibration dampers, e.g. damping material on the
bodywork and in the air inlet and outlet systems of the vacuum pump are in good condition. If
damaged, replace it by genuine material from the manufacturer to prevent the sound pressure level
from increasing.
19. Never use caustic solvents which can damage materials of the air net, e.g. polycarbonate bowls.
20. Faults or wearing of seals may cause oil lubricant leaks. Avoid dispersion in soil and pollution of other
materials.
NOTICE!
Also consult sections Safety precautions during installation and Safety precautions during
operation.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas. Processing of any
other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to the application which are not included
herein.

2.1 What is vacuum and how is flow rate understood
What is vacuum and how to denote
A vacuum is any pressure in a system that is below the ambient atmospheric pressure. It can be denoted
in absolute terms or in effective (gauge) terms:
mbar(a) –absolute pressure –denotes how much the pressure is above absolute zero vacuum.
(minus) mbar(e) –the effective or gauge pressure –denotes how much the pressure is below the local
atmospheric pressure.

2
Absolute vacuum
3
Typical QSV pump working range (400 mbar(a) –10 mbar(a))
4
Atmospheric pressure
Atmospheric pressure at sea level is roughly 1 bar or 1000 mbar. A typical working range for the QSV pumps
is 400 mbar(a) to 10 mbar(a). From the illustration it can be seen clearly that this range is also equivalent to -
600 mbar(e) and -990 mbar(e)
It is important to understand which type of reference is required before selecting a pressure instrument for
measuring the vacuum. It must be noted that the distinction doesn't matter for a pressure difference (delta P;
e.g. pressure loss), since it is always the result of subtracting 2 pressures (whether stated as absolute or
effective pressures).
Flow rate definitions
There are 2 common but different ways to denote flow rate in vacuum. The first one is based on the
displacement or volumetric flow rate and the second one is based on the throughput or mass flow rate.
Quincy vacuum pumps use volumetric flow rate to denote performance, the unit being Am³/hr.
Displacement/volumetric flow rate
For the relevant pressure range, when a QSV pump operates at quasi constant motor speed (rotations per
minute) and since the compression chambers have fixed dimensions, the same volume of air is pumped
from inlet to outlet with falling pressure level. Over the relevant pressure range, this makes the volumetric
flow rate quasi independent of the vacuum level. It is the expression of the flow rate inside the piping at the
governing vacuum level (Am³/hr) and always higher than the throughput in mass flow rate.

Section II - General description
Quincy Vacuum Pump-QSV Series 13
Throughput in mass flow rate
Even if the volumetric flow rate is quasi unchanged with falling pressure level, the number of molecules in
that pumped volume is not. By definition: the deeper the vacuum, the lower the amount of molecules in the
same volume of air. This means that the mass flow will decrease with decreasing (absolute) pressure. It is
clear that a flow rate must be stated at a certain vacuum level when using this denotation.
2.2 Introduction
The QSV 2200 up to QSV 3200 are single-stage, oil-sealed screw vacuum pumps driven by an
electric motor.
The vacuum pumps are controlled by the Quincy Airlogic Graphic regulator (C).
The regulator is fitted to the front door. An electric cabinet (1) comprising fuses, transformers, relays, etc.
is located behind this door.
The vacuum pumps use VSD (Variable Speed Drive) technology. This means: automatic adjustment of
the motor speed, depending on the process demand.
The vacuum pumps are air-cooled and are enclosed in a sound-insulated bodywork.

Section II - General description
Quincy Vacuum Pump-QSV Series 17
Air flow
Air comes in through air intake filter (AF) and Vacuum Control Valve (VC) and is displaced by the
vacuum pump element (E).
A mixture of air and oil flows into the oil separator tank (OT).
After passing the air/oil separator filter, clean air, conditioned to a few parts per million, is discharged
through the outlet.
Oil system
The oil separator tank (OT) removes most of the oil from the air/oil mixture by centrifugal action. The oil
separator (OS) removes the remaining oil. The oil collects in the lower part of the oil separator tank (OT)
which serves as oil tank.
The oil system has an electronic controlled thermostatic valve (BV). When the oil temperature at the
discharge of the element is below the calculated condensation temperature, the thermostatic valve shuts off
the oil supply from the air cooler (Co) / water cooler (Cw).
Air pressure forces the oil from oil separator tank through the oil filter (OF). The air cooler (Co) / water
cooler (Cw) is bypassed. When the oil temperature has increased above the calculated condensation
temperature, the thermostatic valve starts opening the supply from the air cooler (Co) / water cooler
(Cw). The filtered oil flows into the vacuum pump element.
Cooling
The cooling system has an oil cooler (Co).
The variable speed fan sucks air over the cooler. The rotational speed of the fan is depending on the
operating conditions according to a specific algorithm.

Section II - General description
18 Quincy Vacuum Pump-QSV Series
2.4 Condensatesystem
When discharge piping is used, water in the discharge air can condense in the piping and is accumulated in
the collector of the outlet pipe, where a drain point (Dr) is available.
The pump leaves the factory, with this drain point connected and the external valve (EV) supplied as loose
part. Preventing condensate collection in the oil separator will extend oil life.
Consult local regulations, which are applicable for water drainage.
2.5 Regulating system
Description
If the vacuum process demand is less than the throughput of the vacuum pump, the vacuum pressure
decreases. When the pressure is lower than the set-point (desired vacuum pressure), the regulator
decreases the motor speed.
If the vacuum pressure decreases and the motor operates at minimum speed, the regulator stops the motor.
When the motor is stopped automatically and the vacuum pressure comes to the set-point, the regulator
starts the motor again.

3.1 Airlogic Graphic controller
Display of the Airlogic Graphic controller
Introduction
The Airlogic controller has following functions:
Controlling the vacuum pump
Protecting the vacuum pump
Monitoring components subject to service
Automatic restart after voltage failure (made inactive)
Automatic control of the vacuum pump operation
The controller maintains the pressure within programmable limits by automatically adapting the motor
speed. A number of programmable settings, e.g. the set point, the minimum stop time and the maximum
number of motor starts and several other parameters are hereby taken into account.
The controller stops the vacuum pump whenever possible to reduce the power consumption and restarts it
automatically when the pressure decreases. For High Water Handling Capability pumps, the pump is
equipped with a purge cycle which prevents and removes condensed water in the sealing oil.
CAUTION!
A number of time based automatic start/stop command may be programmed. Take into account
that a start command will be executed (if programmed and activated), even after manually stopping
the vacuum pump.
Protecting the Vacuum pump
Shut-down
Several sensors are provided on the vacuum pump. If one of the measurement succeeds the programmed
shut down level, the vacuum pump will be stopped. This will be indicated on display (1) and general alarm
LED(2)will blink.
Remedy the trouble and reset the message. See also the Inputs menu.
