1.0 DESCRIPTION

1.1 GENERAL (Principle of Operation)

The Stokes Microvac Pump is a self-contained, rotary, oil sealed piston type unit. The piston is driven by an
eccentric mounted on the drive shaft and the piston slided is guided by two floating hinge bars that are free
to oscillate in the pump housing. Facing the drive end, the piston assembly rotates clockwise. Air enters the
pump through the intake and then through the piston slide until the piston completes its stroke. At this point
all air previously entrapped is in front of the piston as it begins another stroke. As the piston continues to

DESCRIPTION
rotate, the air in front of it is compressed and discharged through the exhaust valve and finally out the
exhaust outlet. As the piston nears the top center position the intake port is closed, separating the system
from the pump (See Figure 1). The exhaust valves are of the corrosion-resistant, heavy duty, poppet type.
When the pump is in operation, lubrication of the internal parts is completely automatic. Oil is forced by
atmospheric pressure from the reservoir through the oil lines to the shaft bearings. The oil is then fed into
the pump to provide the necessary piston-to-cylinder oil seal. Finally, the oil is forced out through the
exhaust valve with the air and returns to the reservoir. A solenoid valve automatically prevents oil from
flooding the pump in the event of a power failure, or when the pump is accidentally shutdown without
vacuum being broken.

FIGURE 1 PUMP CROSS SECTION
1.2 GAS BALLAST

The pump is provided with a manually operated gas ballast valve to overcome the adverse affect on vacuum
resulting from oil contamination. Contamination occurs when water vapor or other gaseous components
enter the pump and condense within the pump mixing with the oil as emulsified droplets. The condensate
will mix with the oil and “flash” into vapor again as the oil circulates into high vacuum in the pump cylinder
limiting the vacuum to the vapor pressure of the condensed water. Gas Ballast is a controlled bleed of air
from the atmosphere. This air caries the water vapor through the compression cycle without it condensing
to liquid and mixing with oil. Thus, the water vapors are exhausted without contaminating the pump oil.
Other contaminates are also removed by ballasting except those that dissolve in the oil.

STOKES VACUUM MICROVAC ® VACUUM PUMP

SECTION 1.0
NOTE: Never use gas ballast when pumping gases or gas mixtures that are
explosive or flammable.

1.3 WATER SYSTEM (149-11, 212-11, 412-11 ONLY)

A supply of cooling water at 85o F. and * G.P.M. maximum is needed at the water inlet for efficient perfor-
mance. See Section 2.5 for additional information.

*149-011 1 GPM MAXIMUM

DESCRIPTION
*212-011 1-1/2 GPM MAXIMUM
*412-011 2 GPM MAXIMUM

1.4 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM


The main power supply is 230/460V., 60 Cy., 3 Ph. and should be wired through a suitable fused motor
starter. Power for the oil solenoid is taken from any two of the motor leads. Check both motor and sole-
noid nameplates to insure proper voltage.
1.5 LUBRICANTS
Refer to Section 2 for recommended high vacuum grease and pumping fluids.

1.6 GUARDS
The standard pump is with a totally enclosed belt guard to cover the motor pulley, pump pulley and belts.

146, 148, 149 NOTE: ALSO ENCLOSED FLYWHEEL GUARDS ARE INCLUDED AS
STANDARD EQUIPMENT.
1.7 VACUUM BREAK & GAGE PORTS

The pump is provided with a: 146-13 & 148-10 1/4" FPT Gage Port; 149-11,
212-11 & 412-11 l/2" FPT Vacuum Break & a l/4" FPT
Gage Port, as shown in Fig. 11.

IMPORTANT: When using Gage Port, provided a 90o elbow and at least 12"
of vertical pipe to the gage sensor.

SECTION 2.0
2.0 INSTALLATION

2.1 LOCATING AND MOUNTING

Locate the pump as near as possible to the equipment being evacuated so that the Vacuum, Water and
Exhaust connections can be conveniently made. Provide for adequate space for convenient servicing where
possible.

2.1.2 The pump should be mounted on a rigid foundation, such as a concrete floor, and made level by

INSTALLATION
shimming or grouting, if necessary. Bolt pump to foundation without putting a strain or twist in the pump
housing. See Figure 12 for foundation bolting dimensions.

2.1.3 Remove cap from exhaust and intake openings only when ready to make a pipe connection. Also
remove the plastic plug (by unscrewing) from the Gas Ballast valve. When pump is to be subjected to
temperatures below freezing, drain water jacket through the housing drain plug to prevent cracking the
housing, then blow out water jacket. Follow this same procedure for storage.

2.2 VACUUM PIPING

Be sure all vacuum piping is tight. All pipe lines should be as short as possible and should be no smaller
than the inlet to the pump. (If it is absolutely necessary to run a long line, the pipe size should be increased
50% in diameter, or more, than the inlet to the pump.) Conductance of long lines must be checked and the
line sized large enough or pumping speed of system will be seriously decreased. When connecting pump to
the system, provide a vertical pipe at least 2 ft. long between the pump and the system, if the pump is
below the system inlet. If the pump is above or level with the system inlet, provide an inverted “U” pipe to
serve as a trap for dirt from the system and to prevent migration of pump oil toward the system inlet. Be
sure all vacuum piping is tight. If an inline filter is being used it should be installed as noted below. It is
advisable to install a flexible connection between pump intake and vacuum piping to eliminate vibration.
(See Figures 2 &3).

FIGURE 2 FIGURE 3
PUMP BELOW SYSTEM PUMP ABOVE SYSTEM

A high vacuum valve (full opening type preferred) is recommended to facilitate start-up and for checking
pump blank off pressure.

CAUTION: Make sure the system to be evacuated and connecting lines are
clean and free of weld splatter, dirt, or grit. Foreign matter
entering the pump can cause failure and possibly damage the
internal parts. To prevent this it is recommended that a 16 mesh
wire screen be installed at the inlet connection. After 20 hours of
operation the screen must be removed.
2-1
STOKES VACUUM MICROVAC ® VACUUM PUMP

SECTION 2.0
2.2.1 TYPES OF PIPING JOINTS

A. Standard wrought piping with welded joints makes the best vacuum piping system.
B. Copper piping with sweated fittings and joints can also be made vacuum tight and has the
advantage of providing a neat, clean vacuum installation.
C. Standard threaded piping, however, is satisfactory and more readily installed. The piping
should be carefully hammered to loosen any scales or chips. Blow out the resultant with
compressed air prior to installation. All male threaded joints should be carefully doped,
screwed up tight and NEVER “backed-off” to make parts align - this is apt to cause a leak.

INSTALLATION
Paint the joints while the system is under vacuum until the paint is no longer drawn in, G.E.
1201-B, Glyptal or equivalent is recommended for painting all connections.

2.2.2 LOCATION OF GAGE PORT

A vacuum gage connection is located at the upper left hand side of intake side of pump. (See Figure
12). The pipe plug found at this location should be replaced with a small vacuum ball valve to which
the gage can be connected. When a Stokes McLeod Gage is used a synthetic, thick wall, smooth
bore tubing, such as Tygon, makes a very satisfactory flexible connection.

2.3 EXHAUST PIPING

2.3.1 It is recommended that the exhaust be piped horizontally as short distance and tied into a vertical
exhaust pipe. The vertical exhaust pipe must be at least 1 ft. (12 inches) long and the bottom end of the
vertical exhaust pipe terminated with a plug or a drain cock to allow removal of moisture and contaminated
oil before it can accumulate sufficiently to drain back into pump oil reservoir. See Figure 4.

2.3.2 The exhaust pipe should be no smaller than the exhaust outlet and as short as possible. Run the
pipe outside the building where the pump exhaust vapors will not be objectionable. Point the outside end of
the exhaust pipe downward to prevent the entrance of rain water.

2.3.3 Closed circuit Oil Mist Separators are available from Stokes which can eliminate oil fog in the
majority of applications. The separator will not remove noxious or toxic gases and must be run outside the
building. For operating continually under conditions of higher pressure an electro-static precipitator is
recommended. Contact Stokes for specifics.

CAUTION: NEVER PLACE A VALVE IN THE EXHAUST LINE. IF A VALVE


MUST BE INSTALLED IN THE LINE, A RELIEF VALVE MUST ALSO
BE INSERTED IN THE LINE BETWEEN THE RESERVOIR AND THE
VALVE. THE RELIEF VALVE SHOULD BE EQUAL IN SIZE TO THE
LINE, AND SET TO OPEN AT 2 PSIG.

2.4.1 Install a motor starter with safety device within easy reach of the operator.

2.4.2 Connect the solenoid valve as in Figure 5.

2.4.3 Connect motor so that pump shaft rotates clockwise when viewed from driven end. See 3.1 for

2.5.1 This pump is air cooled and no water connections are necessary.

149-11, 212-11 & 412-11ONLY

INSTALLATION
2.5.1 This pump is water cooled and must be connected to a water supply.

2.5.2 The 1/2" water inlet connection is located in the pump housing on the drive side near the bottom.

2.5.3 Insert a valve in the water inlet line and regulate the water flow so that the temperature of the oil in
the reservoir is between 140 Deg. and 160 Deg. F. Oil temperature kits are available that automatically
control the water flow to maintain the proper oil temperature (Consult factory). If pump is outside and
subjected to freezing temperatures, water tank and circulating pump should be installed with anti-freeze in
the water.

CAUTION: DO NOT START PUMP WHEN OIL TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 55o F.


2.5.4 The 1/2" water outlet is located in the pump housing on the opposite side of the water inlet.

2.5.5 The water outlet SHOULD be connected to an open drain to permit the operator to check the flow
and temperature of the outlet water periodically. There SHOULD NOT be a valve or back pressure in this
line. In some cases, cooling water must be discharged to a pressure drain. In such cases, discharge
pressure must not exceed 50 P.S.I.G. and no block valve should be placed in discharge line unless a 50#
relief valve is provided to protect pump from high inlet pressure.

NOTE: IF CONDENSABLES ARE PRESENT IN GAS BEING PUMPED AND


GAS BALLAST IS USED THROTTLE THE COOLING WATER TO RAISE
OPERATING TEMPERATURE TO THE LEVEL NEEDED FOR GAS
BALLAST (SEE SECT. 3).

2.6 LUBRICATION OF PUMP

The successful operation of this pump depends largely on the type of oil used. An initial charge of oil is
included with each pump. This standard oil is V-Lube (Label F) which is recommended for general operating
conditions in a relatively clean environment. The oil is a multigrade petroleum oil, fortified for oxidation
protection, containing detergent dispersants, with excellent flow characteristics at low temperature. It has
a viscosity of 430 SSU at 100 Deg. F., and 82 SSU at 210 Deg. F., with a vapor pressure of 0.0001 mm Hg.
at 145 Deg. F.

If the pump is to be operated at vacuum levels that cause the oil temperature to exceed 160 Deg. F. for
extended periods of time, a heavier grade oil should be used, Stokes V-lube (Label G) is available for oil
temperatures up to 200 Deg. F.

Special operating conditions may require the use of Special oils. We have listed the most used special
lubricants on the back page of the Bulletin enclosed, Greasing and Pumping Fluids for Vacuum Components.
Consult Stokes for specific recommendations when other than regular petroleum oils are being used.

2.6.1 INITIAL FILL

The microvac pump is shipped with an Initial charge of oil (* gallons) in the reservoir. Before connecting the
suction manifold slowly rotate the pump thru two revolutions. This will distribute the oil throughout the
pump interior.

3.0 OPERATION

3.1 PRE-START CHECK

NOTE: REMOVE BELT GUARD COVER. TURN PUMP OVER BY HAND AT


LEAST TWO REVOLUTIONS.

A. Jog the motor momentarily while observing pump rotation. If the pump does not rotate in a
clockwise direction, interchange any two of the three-phase leads.

OPERATION
B. Make sure the oil solenoid valve operates properly by checking the oil flow indicator. The
ball in the Oil Flow Indicator bowl should rise after system pressure is below 600 mm Hg.
(6" Hg. Suction).

C. The oil solenoid valve is normally closed, and must be energized when the pump starts.

The differential pressure between the oil reservoir (atmospheric pressure) and the pump
cavity (vacuum) forces the oil to the bearings and into the pump cavity. The oil lubricates
the moving parts and also creates an oil seal.

Oil starts to flow at 600 Torr. At 400 Torr the flow is approximately 50%. From 100% Torr
to blank-off (15u), flow is 100%.

NOTE: YOU MUST REACH 400 TORR IN 10 MINUTES OR A FORCE


FEED LUBRICATION SYSTEM IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE
ADEQUATE OIL FLOW TO THE PUMP CAVITY.

NOTE: IF INDICATOR BALL DOES NOT RISE, STOP PUMP IMMEDIATELY.


(1) CHECK OPERATION OF SOLENOID. (2) CHECK OIL LINES FOR

3.1.2 DRIVE BELT TENSION

A. At approximately the center of the span, between drive and driven pulleys, apply * pounds
pressure on the belt. If tension is correct, the resulting deflection should be **.

ON.

CAUTION: DO NOT START PUMP WHEN OIL TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 55o F.

NOTE: REMOVE PLASTIC PLUG FROM EXHAUST PORT BEFORE


OPERATING PUMP

OPERATION
3.2.1 Depress “start” button and check solenoid valve for proper operation.

3.2.2 Be sure the equipment being evacuated is properly cleaned and all openings closed. Open intake
valve.

3.3 CHECKING OIL LEVEL

3.3.1 Check oil level each day.

3.3.2 The oil level should be at center of sight glass or in lower half while pump is operating at high
vacuum. Level will change depending on suction pressure. In most cases, oil is added after
operating the pump for a short while.

3.3.3 To avoid blowing oil out the fill hole, do not add oil to the pump when in operation unless the pump
is at 1 torr or less without Gas Ballast.

NOTE: When pumping gases that contain water vapor it may be necessary
to remove the water that condenses in the pump reservoir sump.
This can be done by opening the oil drain valve and draining out
water, and closing valve when oil starts to flow. The interval for
this must be determined for each specific operation and depends on
the amount of water vapor and oil temperature. Operating the
pump with the oil temperature in the 160 Deg. F., temperature
range will tend to minimize formation of water, but will not
eliminate it.

3.4 OPERATION OF GAS BALLAST

3.4.1 Open the Gas Ballast valve fully for maximum efficiency. For a lesser degree of ballasting, turn
valve toward close position. Full gas ballast will cause pump temperature to rise but this is normal.
For maximum effect of gas ballast, pump should be run approximately at l60 Deg. F.

149-11, 212-11, & 412-11ONLY Operating temperature can be raised by throttling cooling water. Oil
Temperature Control Kits are available, consult factory.

NOTE: Be sure to remove the plastic plug in the Gas Ballast air intake
lines. This plug is used for shipping and storage purposes ONLY

3.4.2 If pumping water vapor in excessive quantities and the oil has become contaminated, it can be
purified by running the pump with Gas Ballast valve full open while the pump is shut-off from the
system. When excessive contaminants are present, indicated by high oil level, or thinning,
formation of varnish, etc., the oil should be replaced.

3-2
STOKES VACUUM MICROVAC ® VACUUM PUMP

SECTION 3.0
CAUTION: Gas Ballast should never be used if vapors being pumped are
explosive, e.g. Methane Gas, Hydrogen, and certain solvent vapors.
When gases of an explosive nature are being handled, the safest
procedure is to remove the gas ballast valve entirely and plug or
cap the pipe to which the gas ballast valve is attached.

Opening the gas ballast slightly will quiet valve noise when pump is blanked-off, but will prevent
reaching the lowest final pressure.

OPERATION
3.4.3 The check valve used for Gas Ballast should be inspected at least every six months for wear or a
broken spring when operating on an (8) hour a day basis; every 3 months for (24) hour a day
operation.

FIGURE 6
GAS BALLAST CHECK VALVE

3.4.4 The gas ballast valve should be closed when the pump is stopped. If the valve is open, gas will be
sucked into the pump through the valve and the vacuum manifold will be pressurized with
atmospheric air. This air going through the pump will carry the oil in the pump cylinder system. A
solenoid valve attached to the gas ballast piping can be used to operate the gas ballast
automatically. Contact local Stokes representative for additional information.

3.4.5 When a pressurized gas is used to ballast the pump, the pressure must be reduced to 2 psi
maximum. The use of higher pressures may damage the pump.

3.4.6 When pumping an explosive gas, (i.e. hydrogen, silane, methane) or corrosive gas, (cl, f, ccl4, etc.)
the pump must be ballasted with an inert gas (nitrogen, argon). The used of air for ballasting under
the above conditions can result in an explosion or excessive corrosion inside the pump.

3.5 PUMP STOP

3.5.1 Close intake valve to system.

3.5.2 Stop the motor and break vacuum unless system dictates otherwise.

3-3
STOKES VACUUM MICROVAC ® VACUUM PUMP

SECTION 3.0
NOTE: The solenoid valve closes automatically when the pump is stopped
or in case of power failure, thus preventing pump and vacuum
system from being flooded with oil.

3.6 OPERATING NOTES

3.6.1 If large amounts of air pass through the pump, it may become warm and under severe conditions
may become hot. This does not indicate trouble. The pump is designated for high vacuum work

OPERATION
and should not be operated at pressures above 600 mm Hg. for more than 15 minutes or at
intermediate vacuums for periods which cause oil temperature to exceed 200 Deg. F. For optimum
pump operation the oil temperature of the oil in the reservoir should be between 140 Deg. F. and
160 Deg. F. with the pump operating on the system or process. Oil temperature can be measured
by inserting a thermometer in the fill hole or by contact pyrometer on oil line near the solenoid. If
the pump is to be operated with oil temperature in excess of 160 Deg. F. the use of a heavier
viscosity oil is recommended. (See Section 2.6.)

3.6.2 When starting the pump or when handling large amounts of air, oil vapor in the form of smoke will
issue from the exhaust. Again this is no indication of trouble, as the volume of smoke will decrease
as the vacuum in the system improves.

NOTE: Stokes closed type oil mist separator is available to alleviate


exhaust oil smog.

3.6.3 If the pump has been shut down for an extended period, always turn over at least two (2)
revolutions by hand before starting to insure free movement of parts.

3.6.4 Low oil temperature can cause overloading when starting the pump and possibly prevent the pump
from sealing. Microvac pumps should not be started when the oil temperature is below 55 Deg. F.*
Optimum operating oil temperature after starting is between 140 Deg. F. to 160 Deg. F. Opening
the Gas Ballast valve will help warm-up the oil.

A Water Miser is recommended to automatically control the oil temperature.

*THIS APPLIES ONLY IF STOKES V-LUBE “F” IS USED. CONSULT FACTORY IF OTHER
OILS ARE USED.

4.0 CHECKING

4.1 POOR VACUUM

No pump will give good results on a poor vacuum system. If the vacuum in the system is unsatisfactory,
the usual cause is leakage. To check for this condition, a methodical approach will usually resolve the
problem in the least amount of time.

CHECKING
4.2 LOCALIZING LEAKAGE

A leak rate will help localize a vacuum leak. Such a test is easily made by successively isolating and evacu-
ating each section of the system. The in-leakage rate of the isolated section is then noted.

4.2.1 A vacuum leak detector will speed up the process of the locating leaks.

FIGURE 7
STANDARD VACUUM SYSTEM PIPING

4.3 REPAIRING SMALL LEAKS

To repair small leaks or to close pores, use Sealing Compound, Stokes Part No. 4-927. When replacing plug
type valves (if used) use Locktite Pipe Sealer No. 7l4-l to help seal them. Gate, Ball or Butterfly type high
vacuum valves are preferred for high vacuum service.

NOTE: Use of Teflon Tape for sealing is not recommended. Material is


often drawn into system, causing premature wear and damage to
moving parts.

STOKES VACUUM MICROVAC® VACUUM PUMP

SECTION 7.0
SUMMARY

MICROVAC PUMP MAJOR ATTENTION ITEMS

1. Check oil level, oil flow and condition of the pump oil periodically. If oil is contaminated, change it
and if very dirty, clean the oil reservoir and exhaust valve chamber. Oil should be changed as often
as necessary to maintain low blank-off and effective lubrication.

MAINTENANCE
2. Replace exhaust valve springs and exhaust valve disc at least every 6 months when pump is
operated 8 hours per day. Clean out any sludge accumulation in oil reservoir.

3. If the gas ballast feature is used regularly, it may be necessary to replace the check valve at
least every 6 months.

4. To insure for maximum gas ballast efficiency, check outlet water temperature on jacketed models
to make sure the pump is running warm. Oil in the pump reservoir should be approximately 140
degrees to 160 degrees F.(60-71 Deg. C.) for best gas ballast efficiency.

5. If pump incorporates an external oil mist separator, periodically drain off any accumulated dirty oil
and discard. This will maintain the efficiency of the unit and extend the life of the element.

6. Check oil solenoid valve periodically for sludge and/or foreign particles accumulation by
disassembling and cleaning. If valve sticks in open position, oil can be sucked into pump at shut
down. If valve sticks in closed position, insufficient lubrication results and pump can be damaged.
Disassemble valve, inspect and clean. Replace parts needing replacement.
