The gas ballast valve is opened and closed by turning
the gas ballast knob (7/5) on the front.
To enable the TRIVAC-B to be used at intake pressures
as high as 1,000 mbar, a special lubricating system was
developed featuring force-lubrication of the sliding bea-
rings.
An oil pump (3/6) pumps the oil from the oil reservoir
(3/5) into a pressure-lubrication system which supplies
oil to all bearing points (3/2). From there the oil enters
the pump chamber area (2/6) of the vacuum pump.
The oil pump is fitted in the front end plate on the cou-
pling side of the pump module. The oil suction line is pla-
ced low, resulting in a large usable oil reservoir.
The oil is separated from the gas in the TRIVAC-B in two
steps as described above. First, small droplets are
coalesced into large drops in the internal demister (2/11)
fitted above the exhaust valve (2/10). Then, the large
drops fall into the oil reservoir as the exhaust gas is
diverted by the inner walls of the oil case. Thus a low
loss of oil is obtained. This and the large usable oil reser-
voir ensure long intervals between oil changes even at
high intake pressures.
The vacuum is maintained by the TRIVAC-B by an inte-
grated hydropneumatic anti-suckback valve (2/3) which
is controlled via the oil pressure.
Description
During operation of the TRIVAC-B the control piston
(4/3) remains sealed against a spring (4/2) by the oil
pressure. The valve disc (4/6) of the anti-suckback valve
is held at the lower position by its own weight (valve
open). When the pump stops (because it has been swit-
ched off or because of a failure), the oil pressure drops
and the spring (4/2) presses the control piston (4/3) up.
Thus a connection is provided between the oil case or
the oil reservoir (4/1) and the piston (4/4) of the anti-
suckback valve. Due to the pressure difference between
the oil case and the intake port the oil presses the piston
(4/4) up and the valve plate (4/6) against the valve seat
(4/5). The quantity of oil in the oil reservoir (4/1) prevents
the entry of air into the intake port (2/1) at the beginning
of this process.
After the oil has flowed out from the reservoir and when
the valve plate rests on the valve seat, air follows in,
which vents the pump chamber and forces the valve disc
(4/6) against its seat. This effectively prevents backstre-
aming of oil. The anti-suckback valve (2/3) operates
independently of the operating mode of the pump, i.e.
also with gas ballast.
