General
The Powerex® laboratory vacuum system is designed to create a suction system to remove unwanted fluids or gases from laboratory working areas. The laboratory vacuum system package is compliant with the NFPA 99 requirements for Risk Category 3 laboratory systems.

Each system is completely tested before shipment and includes:
  • Multiple vacuum pumps and associated equipment
  • ASME air receiver
  • NEMA 12 multiplex control panel
Each pump is factory piped to a common intake manifold. Vibration isolation pads are included with the system.


Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump
Each vacuum pump shall be of the rotary vane air-cooled design. Each vacuum pump shall be direct driven through a shaft coupling by a TEFC electric motor. Belt drives shall not be permitted. The vacuum pumps shall be mounted on vibration isolators.
  • Each vacuum pump shall be air-cooled and have absolutely no water requirements.
  • Each pump is equipped with a 5 micron inlet filter for removal of particulates.
  • Lubrication shall be provided by an integral, fully recirculating oil supply that is filtered by an automotive-type, spin-on oil filter. Non-recirculating (once-through) or partial re-circulating oil supply systems shall not be permitted. Each vacuum pump is supplied with ISO100 PAO synthetic oil.
  • The oil separation systems shall be integral and shall consist of no less than three stages of internally installed oil and smoke eliminators through which the exhaust gas stream must pass. This system shall consist of bulk separation, oil mist elimination, and smoke elimination, and shall be capable of removing 99.9+ percent of all oil and smoke particles from the exhaust gas stream.
  • Each vacuum pump shall include a built-in, ant-isuck-back valve, mounted at the pump inlet, and three sliding vanes.
Each pump is initially filled with full synthetic oil for improved lubrication, longer life, and chemical resistance.


Motor
The motor is continuous duty, C-face, TEFC, suitable for 208-230, or 460 V, 3 phase, 60 hertz electrical operation.


Air Receiver
The system shall include an ASME rated air receiver. The tank shall be internally lined and come with a manual drain and sight gauge. Systems with Basic Controls are also equipped with a vacuum gauge. Receiver is plumbed so that system vacuum must pass through the air receiver prior to the pumps to provide additional protection for the pumps.

  • Single point power connection
  • Redundant 120 VAC control transformers with fused primary and secondary protection
  • System overload trip, high temperature conditions, low vacuum or maintenance intervals for the pump will result in visual and audible alarms.


Why Powerex®

Service
Powerex® has an extensive network of trained sales and service dealers - over 220 authorized service centers throughout the United States, Canada, the Middle East, Central and South Americas.

In order to maintain a high level of service, we offer our distributors the chance to participate in our in-house training sessions to be up-to-date on our product offerings, installation and start-up procedures and troubleshooting solutions.

Engineering
Due to our vertical integration and full in-house engineering staff, Powerex® has the ability to customize both electrical control panels as well as the mechanical portion of the system to meet a wide variety of customer needs.

Thanks to our continuous process improvement policy and how easily our Sales, Customer Service, Engineering and Production teams can communicate with each other and our end customers, we are constantly figuring out ways to improve our current products and add new products to our standard offerings.

Innovation
Powerex® was the first company to package NFPA 99 compliant scroll systems. Today, we design and manufacture multiple NFPA 99 compliant product lines - Vacuum, Air, and Instrument Air.

We were the first company to utilize composite piston technology, now standard on all Powerex® reciprocating compressors. Powerex® also introduced the first dry scroll to the US oil-less compressor market in 1989. The scroll pump’s completely dry compressor chamber along with the low noise and minimal vibration is perfect for applications or locations not considered with reciprocating compressors.

Quality
Powerex® is a highly integrated operation where we not only assemble systems, but we also manufacture many of the major components. From compressors, UL control panels, desiccant dryers, monitors to air receivers, we control quality at every stage of design and manufacturing. All of our facilities are ISO 9001 certified.

Unlike our competition, we have used the same compressor brand for decades and also retain the same company ownership since our inception. This allows us to maintain quality and provide consistency in our product offerings year after year.

How It Works
A rotor is mounted eccentrically in the pump cylinder and contains several sliding vanes. As the rotor turns, centrifugal force causes the vanes to slide outward against the cylinder wall. Oil is injected into the pumping chamber to create a seal between the vanes and the cylinder wall and to lubricate the vanes for reduced wear. As a result of the offset rotor, a succession of variable volumes is formed in the cylinder housing creating the flow of air through the pump. Air is pulled into the pump inlet which is then compressed and discharged into the exhaust box. At this point oil is mixed with the air and is passed through several stages of internal oil and mist eliminators to remove 99.9% of the lubricating oil before the exhaust is released to atmosphere. The separated oil is then returned to the oil reservoir.


Optional Auto Purge Controls
Optional Auto Purge
  • Provides extra protection for pumps by performing a fresh air flush before shutting down
  • Air or electric auto purge control options available
Auto purge controls are available as an option for those processes requiring a fresh air flush before shutting down the off load pumps. The minimum run and auto purge functions are combined in the control as appropriate. Pumps will run through an automatic purge cycle every 60 minutes (after alternation phase), to purge any gases from the pump to atmosphere. A 3-position switch is provided to select automatic purge, manual purge, or purge off modes. The screen shot to the left simulates a quadplex system, with pumps 1 and 2 making vacuum to meet demand, pump 3 purging and pump 4 in ready mode should demand increase. Auto purge features include:
  • 15 min. purge cycle per pump
  • Pump will be put away clean (after completed purge cycle) when it is not needed to meet demand
  • Low vacuum alarm which indicates high usage or service requirement for other pump(s)
Our standard auto purge option will use a pneumatic actuated valve. The electric auto purge option will use an electric valve.

Note: This option is available with our Premium NFPA Control Panel. It is not available on systems with Basic NFPA controls.

Systems with the auto purge feature will include:
  • Control and operation of air actuated and/or electric isolation and purge valves
  • 3-position mode switch (Auto-Off-Manual)
  • Pump Status (pump On, Pump Ready, Pump Off, Pump Purging)
Pumps will run through an automatic purge cycle every 24 hours (after alternation phase), to purge any gases from the pump to atmosphere. A 3-position switch is provided to select automatic purge, manual purge, or purge off modes. (Note: Pneumatic purge isolation valves require 80 psi compressed air to be field supplied.)


Note
This option is available for systems with Standard HMI controls or Optional PBMI controls. It is not available on systems with Basic controls.
Please specify which (air or electric) auto purge option you would like when ordering.
