Premium Vacuum Pump Oil, 1 Litre, 1000ml

Product Information

Vacuum pump oil is a substance inside the pump that lubricates the pumping apparatus while also collecting moisture and contaminants from evacuated systems. Simply put, it’s what keeps the pump pumping. That is why changing oil as soon as it needs to be changed is critical. Bryan Orr hosted a live podcast discussion all about 90% efficient furnaces with HVAC professionals Ty Branaman, Adam Mufich, and Matthew Bruner. They covered the basics of how 90% furnaces work compared to traditional 80% furnaces, troubleshooting tips, and best practices for installation and service.

Also consider whether an oil-free or diaphragm pump would be better for applications involving low volumes, degassing, gas transfer and sampling, or else a lubricated pump for high capacity, high vacuum performance. In practice, techs are often taught to leave the ballast open until the pump can pull the system below a pressure (measured with a vacuum gauge at the system) below the boiling pressure of water for the ambient temperature. Then, you would close the ballast to pull the final deep vacuum. Vacuum Expert Howard Tring noted that leaving the ballast open until you get to the boiling point of water is a waste. The goal is to leave the ballast open only when it is stalled at the moisture evaporation pressure/temperature point. There is no exact answer here; an environment of use, proper use of the pump, aka proper use of gas ballast, and oil storage all play a factor in how long your pump will last.Change whenever you observe discoloration of the oil, whether it is a change to creamy from moisture or if it's darkening from other contaminants or heat. When the vacuum pump is not reaching the desired vacuum level. This is best tested with a vacuum gauge placed directly on the pump.

When the vacuum pump level is significantly higher than the rated blank-off vacuum. This is best tested with a high vacuum gauge mounted directly on the inlet port. Change pump oil based on the manufacturer-approved method but generally when the oil is warm. Make sure to dispose of the oil in a legal and approved location.Used vacuum pump oil can become contaminated with debris, moisture, and chemical impurities that can degrade its performance and increase the risk of equipment failure. Recycling vacuum pump oil involves removing these contaminants through a combination of filtration, distillation, and chemical treatment processes.

Fisher Scientific vacuum pumps combine high tech materials with outstanding engineering. They are designed for most laboratory applications, both routine and research. When choosing a vacuum pump, consider your application type, sample composition and operating parameters. For your life science applications, most protocols tend to involve aqueous solutions and vapours. Choose a general duty vacuum pump if chemical resistance is not needed. See our dedicated Life Science brochure to choose the appropriate general duty pumps and aspiration/filtrationstations suitable for your application needs. Vacuum pump oil recycling is typically done by specialised oil recycling companies, who use equipment and processes to separate the oil from contaminants and restore its properties. This process can help extend the life of the oil and reduce waste and environmental impact by reducing the need for disposal of used oil. Triple-distilled oil goes through yet another molecular distillation process and is devoid of sulfur or other impurities. This oil is chemically inert and is highly resistant to oxidation and reactance to other gases. Triple-distilled pump oil is transparent and is designed for an ultimate vacuum of 0.6 microns (6 x 10 -4 torr). Because vacuum pumps don’t have filters, the oil inside will eventually become saturated with contaminants, which reduces the pump’s efficiency.

Mobil Vacuum Pump Oil 100 is a premium lubricant, blended from specific high quality white oil with low volatility characteristics, for the lubrication of vacuum pumps. Provides a seal across the vanes and duo seal between the high pressure and low-pressure side of the pump in two-stage pumps Long service life due to high level of chemical and thermal stability and freedom from deposit formation

Another vacuum pump fluid worth mentioning is flushing oil (fluid). Flushing fluid is basically a solvent oil containing high concentrations of the helpful additives already present in distilled mineral pump oil. This pump fluid can be used to clean the residual contaminants (water, oxides, etc.) from your pump left over from the previous oil. Flushing fluid can be highly beneficial before and after the use of the vacuum pump. Know your pump, know your oil. The performance and ultimate vacuum of your pump demand that you keep the correctly designed pump oil in its vanes… see what I did there?The proper use of gas ballast keeps contaminants out of the oil, which can extend the life of the oil and the pump. Mobil Vacuum Pump Oil 100 is recommended for the lubrication of vacuum pumps and is suitable for applications involving absolute pressures from 50 microns of mercury down to the highest vacua achieved by commercially available vacuum pumps. The primary role of most oils is mechanical lubrication, and the vacuum pump is no different. Additionally, the vacuum pump oil seals the vanes in rotary vane pumps, cooling the pump through heat transfer between the inner and outer parts of the pump. Our vacuum pump oil is designed to have a low vapor pressure, much lower than the moisture in the HVAC/R system, ideally discharging it to the atmosphere. Low vapor pressure means having lower evaporative properties, where high vapor pressure has high evaporative properties. Because the vapor pressure of the pump oil is very low, it can operate at extremely low pressures without evaporating. The deeper the vacuum, the lower the pump oil vapor pressure must be, which can become a factor in ultra-deep vacuums used in some industries and scientific experimentation. Compressor oil, hydraulic oil and vacuum pump oil are three different types of lubricants used in different types of machinery.
