How to take care of side channel blowers and vacuum pumps
Professional Installation
ORB pumps are industrial quality and must be installed by professionals. The warranty will be invalid if incorrect installation causes damage.
Safety
This pump has moving parts, can run hot and has high voltage power supply. It is also heavy and bulky to move. Please make sure that all necessary safety precautions are taken.
Keep it cool
Your ORB Pump is designed to be operated at ambient temperatures below 40C so leave plenty of space around the pump and shield from direct sunlight.
Clean Air
All side channel blower / vacuum pumps need clean air. Fit intake air filters and renew/clean them regularly.
Over pressure
Exceeding the pressure/vacuum parameters of the pump will shorten the life. Ensure that correctly calibrated pressure relief valves are fitted.
Over current
Allowing the motor to draw too much power could damage the motor. Make sure that the motor has current supply protection.
Rotational Direction
The intended rotating direction of the shaft is marked with arrows on the vacuum pump/compressor housing. Compare the actual rotating direction of the external fan with the intended shaft rotating direction and correct if necessary.
Continuous Operation
Being an industrial pump it is designed for continuous operation or occasional on/off operation. Avoid situations where it is turned on and off regularly.
