What type of oil is used in rotary vane vacuum pumps?
1 Answers
Introduction to oil for rotary vane vacuum pumps: 1. General conditions: For applications requiring a total pressure above 6X10-2 Pa, high-speed vacuum pump oil produced in Shanghai is recommended. For small pumps below 4L/s, No.1 vacuum pump oil can be used as a substitute. For direct-drive pumps above 8L/s, No.3 diffusion pump oil can be used as an alternative. 2. If the vacuum requirement is not high: and oil contamination and replacement are frequent, or vacuum pump oil supply is difficult, No.50 mechanical oil can be used as a substitute. 3. If the ambient temperature is low: and starting is difficult with no high requirement for ultimate vacuum, vacuum pump oil or mechanical oil with slightly lower viscosity can be used.
