- Use inert gas for gas ballast to avoid the formation of

explosive mixtures. A special adapter fitting is needed

to connect an inert gas supply line (see “Accessories

/ Spare parts”, pg. 92). This adapter replaces the

standard gas ballast cap and allows for an inert gas

line to be connected via a KF DN 16 small flange at a

maximum supply pressure of 17.5 psi (1.2 bar) abso-

lute.

- Close the gas ballast valve by turning the cap 180°.

In case of low boiling solvents (when the formation of

condensate is unlikely), the use of gas ballast might be

unnecessary. Operating the pump without gas ballast in-

creases the solvent recovery rate at the exhaust waste

vapor condenser.

In case of condensation

In case of

condensation: Check the liquid lev-

el in the catchpots during operation. Check the

liquid level in both catchpots regularly. Do not

allow the catchpots to overfill. Drain catchpots

in time to avoid overflow. Install a level sensor

(see “Accessories / Spare parts”, pg. 92) for

monitoring, if necessary.

The maximum liquid level is at approximately

80% of the total filling level to avoid problems

when removing the catchpots.

Removing the catchpots:

Catchpot at outlet:

Remove joint clip. Remove catchpot and drain

condensate.

Catchpot at inlet:

Admit air or inert gas (via the pump inlet) to

restore atmospheric pressure in the catchpot

before attempting removal. Remove joint clip.

Remove catchpot and drain condensate.
