You can use the pumps to pump oxygen and water vapour, subject to the following conditions:
• Oxygen – The oxygen concentration must be less than 20% by volume.
• Water vapour - You must ensure that vapour does not condense inside the pump; refer to
Section 3.6.3.
If you wish to pump a gas not in the list above, contact your supplier for advice. If you do not contact
your supplier, you may invalidate the warranty on the pump. The pumps are not suitable for pumping
aggressive or corrosive gases.
2.3 Vent gas specification and vent control data
Although the pump may be vented to atmosphere, high relative humidity of the air may greatly increase
the subsequent pump-down time. To reduce pump-down times you should vent the pump with dry, clean
gases.
2.4 Water-cooling
The following cooling-water specification corresponds to a typical high-quality drinking water
specification. Check with your water supply authority if you are in doubt about the quality of your supply.
