Operating instructions.

Useful information

Diaphragm vacuum pumps (also called membrane pumps) are oscillating positive displacement pumps. The dia-phragms generate vacuum by expanding the volume in the vacuum chamber which in turn reduces the pressure in the vacuum chamber thus causing atmospheric pressure air to be pushed into the chamber. The air in this chamber is then pushed out from the vacuum chamber through a different route (gas outlet) with the use of valves. These periodic movements of the diaphragm generates vacuum at the in-let of the pump.
Attention have to be paid when working with gas mixtures containing condensable gases, e.g. water vapour or sol-vents. Use of IKA MVP 10 basic with these gases will result in their condensing somewhere in the air flow of the pump. This causes pressure build up in the vacuum chamber which in turn reduces the service life of the diaphragms and valves.
To prevent condensation or to discharge condensates pro-duced by the pump, the gas ballast valve should be opened. By opening the gas ballast valve, a small amount of air is allowed into the vacuum chamber, reducing the concentra-tion of the condensable gas. Purging of condensation can also be done by allowing full gas flow at atmospheric pres-sure through the pump for several minutes.
To protect the internal valves and diaphragms, fit an up-stream condensation trap (such as a Woulff bottle) to the IKA rotary evaporator RV 8 and RV10).
The release of solvent vapors into the atmosphere can be avoided by fitting a downstream discharge condensation trap.
The exhaust air hose should generally deliver to a laboratory extraction system.
Fitting an exhaust air hose will also reduce the noise level.

Setting Up

Configurations:
IKA MVP 10 basic vacuum pump and vacuum controller connected to a vacuum load device.

Commissioning

Connect vacuum hose from inlet nozzle to recipient. Plug in power socket to mains and flip rocker switch (A, see Fig. 1) to “I” position to switch on the device.
Observe the ambient conditions (temperature, humidity etc) listed under technical data.

Maintenance and cleaning

The equipment is maintenance-free. It is only subject to the natural wear and tear of components and their statistical failure rate.

Cleaning
For cleaning disconnect the mains plug!
Use only cleaning agents which have been approved by IKA to clean IKA devices.
These are water (with tenside) and isopropanol.
Wear protective gloves during cleaning the devices. Electrical devices may not be placed in the cleansing agent for the purpose of cleaning.
Do not allow moisture to get into the device when cleaning. Before using another than the recommended method for cleaning or decontamination, the user must ascertain with IKA that this method does not destroy the device.

Maintenance

Remove the top cover: by unscrewing the 4 screws on bottom.
Examine hoses visually for cracks. If cracks have developed or the hose becomes brittle, replace with suitable new ones.
To clean the housing of the device, use only water with a detergent that contains tensides, or use isopropylalcohol for stubborn soiling.

Using the gas ballast valve

Ensure that when the gas ballast valve is open, the air/gas that enters through the gas ballast valve doesn’t come in contact with any hazardous, explosive or other-wise dangerous mixtures that the vacuum pump is pumping at its inlet.
Venting the receptacles or the vacuum pump using ambient air may under some circumstances create a risk of serious dam-age to the equipment and/or surrounding installations and a risk to personnel of serious injury or even death, due to the formation of hazardous and/or explosive mixtures if a reaction between the air and the medium that is being pumped occurs either within the pump or at its outlet.
For pumping condensable vapours (water vapour, solvents, etc.):
Let pump run with gas ballast valve closed until pump reaches its operating temperature.
Open gas ballast valve (refer to figure below).
Gas ballast valve is open when the notch on the cap is aligned with the notch on the nozzle (Gas ballast valve can be closed by rotating cap at least 90°).
When gas ballast valve is opened, ultimate vacuum will be reduced and pumping speed will decrease.
Use inert gas at air inlet to avoid formation of explosive mixtures.
