Maintenance
For normal operation, the maintenance of ALCATEL 5 to 21 m
3
/h series
pumps only require regular oil changes.
Before any draining or maintenance operation, check the pumping
conditions of the installation: potential toxicity, corrosion or radioacitivity
of pumped gases.
Depending on the case, we recommend:
- to purge the pumping installation with dry nitrogen before maintenance;
- wear gloves, protective goggles and, if necessary, a breathing apparatus;
- ventilate the premises well and disassemble the equipment under a suction
hood;
- not to dispose of used oils and residues using the standard system and, if
necessary, have them destroyed by a specialized company.
After a complete maintenance operation, it is recommended to perform
a helium leak tightness test.
