CB Compact Vacuum Systems Brochure

VACUUM PUMP SELECTOR GUIDEKINNEY®AFKT Single-Stage Rotary Piston Pumps KT pumps are quiet running vacuum pumps with high pumping capacity at both high and low pressures. The triplex piston design is inherently dynamically balanced and is practically vibration-free. Even in dirty applications, the KT enjoys unequalled durability, as there is no metal-to-metal contact between the pump piston and the cylinder; clearances are filled with oil. All KT models include an integral, positive pressure lubrication system to insure reliable lubrication at all pressure levels. KT pumps are water-cooled; however, optional air-cooling systems are available on several sizes. Adjustable gas ballast valves are included as standard equipment for handling water and other vapor loads. LP series KT pumps incorporate all the features of the standard KT pumps, in addition to an integral oil mist eliminator and a compact, low-profile design.Typical Applications:Vacuum PackagingVacuum FurnacesVacuum CoatingKC and KTC Two-Stage Rotary Piston Pumps KC and KTC rotary piston vacuum pumps achieve the lowest possible pressures from mechanical pumps and are recommended for applications where the operating pressure is below 0.1 Torr (0.13 mbar). As there is no metal-to-metal contact from the clearances being filled with oil, these two-stage pumps are extremely rugged and reliable. KC and KTC pumps are air-cooled with the exception of the KTC-112, which is water-cooled (optional air-cooling systems are available). Adjustable gas ballast valves are included as standard equipment for handling water and other vapor loads. The triplex piston design incorporated into the KTC pumps is inherently dynamically balanced and is practically vibration-free.Typical Applications:Evacuating Refrigeration SystemsLiquid Gas StorageBrake Filling SystemsLow-Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (LPCVD)Silicon Crystal GrowingLeak DetectionKD and KDH Single-Stage Duplex Rotary Piston Pumps KD and KDH vacuum pumps are belt-driven, low-speed rotary piston pumps. These pumps enjoy unparalleled ruggedness and reliability; some have been in system operation for over 70 years. This reliability is due to no metal-to-metal contact from the clearances being filled with oil. Gas ballast and their large oil capacity enable the KD and KDH models to handle moderate water or other vapor loads. KD models are air-cooled, KDH models are water-cooled.Typical Applications:Drying ChambersDegasifiersFilling MachineryEvacuation of Process ChambersKT KC, KTC KD, KDH©2006 Tuthill Corp.

They are available in standard, all iron construction (no yellow metals) and 316 stainless steel. Liquid ring pumps often require water-cooling, but air-cooling systems are available. Complete engineered system solutions, including instrumentation, controls, piping and valves; self-contained liquid recovery and recirculation are also available. KLRC liquid ring vacuum pumps can pull down as low as 4 Torr (5.3 mbar a). However, low-pressure performance is limited by the vapor pressure of the sealing liquid, which can be water, oil or process liquids. Typical Applications:Chemical and Pharmaceutical ProcessingVapor RecoveryDeaerationExtrudersCrystallizersCentral Vacuum SystemsA Series Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps AF single-stage “A” series and vacuum pumps are simplistic in design, rugged in construction and built to run in the most severe of industrial conditions. With no metal-to-metal contact, it is not unusual for these pumps to run in 24/7 operation for years without maintenance. These “abuser-friendly” pumps are vibration-free and environmentally friendly, with no oil used for lubrication, and no oil discharged to atmosphere. Complete, self-contained systems, including liquid recovery and recirculation, are also available. “A” series single-stage pumps pull down to 29" Hg (25 Torr [33 mbar a]).Typical Applications:FiltrationSolvent Distillation/Vapor RecoverySterilizationAutoclavesDegasifiersExtrudersDeaerationEvaporatorsDry Screw Vacuum Pumps The SDV dry screw vacuum pump operateswithout oil or water in the pumping chamber, and with its straight-through design, the SDV can handle both condensable vapors and some solids without leaving residue. There is no metal-to-metal contact inside the pumping chamber, so wear is greatly reduced. The Kinney SDV dry screw pump is water-cooled, but self-contained air-cooled coolant recirculation systems are available. Typical Applications:Chemical and Pharmaceutical ProcessingSolvent RecoveryFormingCrystallizationDry EtchingSputteringVapor Recovery SDV pumps are variable-pitch, to increase efficiency, and lower temperatures. SDV pumps are also capable of full pumping speed from atmospheric pressure to 1 Torr (1.3 mbar a); however, the SDV can achieve ultimate vacuum as low as 0.01 Torr (0.013 mbar a). Complete engineered system solutions, including instrumentation, controls, piping and valves, and self-contained coolant recirculation, are also available.SDV Model CFM / m3/h HP / kW SDV-120 71/120 5/3.7 SDV-200 106/180 5/3.7 SDV-320 188/320 10/7.5 SDV-430 253/430 15/11 SDV-800 441/750 20/15 SDV-1500 882/1500 50/37 SDV- 2700 1588/2700 75/55 KLRC Model CFM / m3/h HP / kW KLRC-40 35/60 5/3.7 KLRC-75 70/120 5/3.7 KLRC-100 100/170 7.5/5.5 KLRC-125 130/220 10/7.5 KLRC-200 205/350 15/11 KLRC-300 300/510 25/18.5 KLRC-525 560/950 50/37 KLRC-775 830/1410 75/56 KLRC-950 990/1680 100/75 Model CFM / m3/h HP / kW A5 10/17 1 / 0.75 A10 16/27 1.5/1.1 A15 22/37 2/1.5 A20 35/59 3/2.2 A75 80/136 5/3.7 A100 115/195 7.5/5.5 A130 150/255 10/7.5 A200 220/374 15/11 A300 300/510 20/15 A600 625/1062 40/30Engineered SolutionsRotary Vane Vacuum Pumps KSVB/KSV rotary vacuum pumps are ideally suited for clean or moderately contaminated applications when suction filters are fitted to the pump.

A high-capacity dry rotary lobe vacuum booster is matched to a smaller rotary piston vacuum pump. For continuous operation below 1 Torr (1.3 mbar a), the vacuum booster can increase the pumping speed of the vacuum pump by a factor of 10 or more, resulting in a higher capacity system with economy of scale. For operation at higher pressure and for faster evacuations, the booster may be approximately twice the capacity of the piston pump. Conventional systems with either direct driven or V-belt driven boosters and low-profile systems with close-coupled boosters are available. Performance ranges from 200-2700 CFM (340-4590 m3/h) with ultimate vacuum levels as low as 0.2 microns. Custom engineered system solutions to 10,000 CFM (17000 m3/h) are also available. Our application engineers can help you make the best selection for your specific needs. Typical Applications:Transformer Oil DryingVacuum Furnaces Vapor CoatingVacuum PackagingBooster/Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumping Systems Kinney Booster/Liquid Ring systems are ideal for pumping wet gas mixtures at low pressures. Sealing liquids can range from water to oil to process liquids. Oil filled systems avoid problems with corrosive contaminants and sealant liquid vapor pressures at higher temperatures. Process liquid filled systems prevent contamination of process gases with either water or oil. A wide variety of two- and three-stage systems are available, complete with instrumentation, condensers, partial or complete sealant liquid recovery and recirculation, piping, and valves. Typical Applications:Vapor RecoveryChemical ProcessingDryers and EvaporatorsBooster/Dry Screw Vacuum Pumping Systems These systems combine high pumping speed with deep vacuum levels and operate free of oil, water or other sealing liquids. Flows range to 10,000 CFM (17000 m3/h) with vacuum levels to 10 microns and below. Complete engineered solutions are available and may include any combination of Kinney KDP or SDV vacuum pumps, vacuum boosters, electric motors, direct or V-belt drive, coolant recirculation systems, instrumentation, controls, skid piping and valves.

Your Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems sales representative will be pleased to assist you in making a final selection.EXAMPLE:For 50 CFM and 80 Torr, the selector guide indicates that KD, KDH, KSV, KLRC, KDP, SDV, and T pumps should be considered.The color coding in the guide is coordinated with the colors of the headings of the columns on the inside pages which describe these pumps.A review of the data in the appropriate columns will further narrow your selection to the following specific pump models: KSV-200, KLRC-100. Final selection should be based on a consideration of “OTHER FACTORS” as listed on the back cover of the folder.Determine the desired vacuum level in inches of mercury, Torr or mbar*, and locate it on the vertical scale.Calculate the required capacity in cubic feet per minute or cubic meters per hour based on system volume, pump down time, gas load, and leakage (see back cover) and locate it on the horizontal scale.The box where lines projected from the points on the vertical and horizontal scales intersect shows the possible pumps for the selected pressure and capacity.See “Other Factors” listed on the back page to further narrow your selection.1.2.3.4.How to Use This Selector Guide*Note: 1 Torr= 1mm mercury absolute pressure. To convert inches of mercury vacuum to Torr: Torr = (30 – inches of vacuum) x 25.4 at sea level e.g., 20 inches Hg = (30 - 20) x 25.4 = 254 TorrPrinted in U.S.A.Form No.9109 R-2/06How to Calculate Pump CapacityCubic Feet per Minute (CFM) or Cubic Meters per Hour (m3/h)Pump capacity in CFM must be sufficient to achieve both pump down speed and to handle gas load and/or leakage. The following steps will allow you to estimate the required CFM for both. Pump selection should be based on the higher of the two numbers.PUMP DOWN1. Determine the volume of the system or process in ft3 (or m3).2. Determine the pump down factor from the graph.3. Divide the volume of the system ft3 (or m3) by the desired pump down time in minutes (or hours) and multiply by the pump down factor.GAS LOADIf you know the volume of gas at standard conditions (760 Torr, 70°F) (1013 mbar, 0°C), use this formula. FORMULAFor English units:For metric units:If you know the mass flow of gas in lbs/hr (or kg/hr), use this formula.FORMULAFor English units:For metric units:OTHER FACTORSThe design of the vacuum piping connecting the pump to the process may affect the selection of the vacuum pump. Piping which is too long or too small in diameter will reduce pumping speed at the process. For rapid pump down on small volumes, include the volume of the piping as part of the volume to be evacuated.In considering the alternative pump selections for an application, take into account these factors:• Is the gas to be pumped dry or are there heavy vapor loads?• Is the gas clean? Is it contaminated by dust or chemicals?• Compare the power consumption of alternatives.• Is cooling water available if required? Is air cooling an option?Before making final pump selection, contact your TVBS sales representative who will be pleased to assist you in selecting the right pump for your application.
