SECTION 1.0 DESCRIPTION

1.1 General
Congratulations on your purchase of a Siemens ELMO-PackTM oil sealed liquid ring
vacuum system. By carefully following the procedures outlined in this manual for
installation and operation of your system, you will guarantee years of satisfactory system
performance.
The ELMO-Pack TM Oil Seal System is a liquid ring vacuum pump package with a selfcontained cooling system. The system is designed to operate with a low viscosity sealing
oil that is provided with the system. This oil will provide increased vacuum levels
(deeper vacuum) at increased operating temperatures. The pump can operate at a higher
temperature without cavitation and without loss of operating liquid due to evaporation
because oil has a much lower vapor pressure and higher boiling point than water. Normal
operating temperature for the system is 150 -190F.
The ELMO-Pack TM systems are available in a variety of sizes. They can be provided in
a standard SIMPLEX configuration or an EXPANDABLE configuration.
1.2 Operating Principles
The ELMO-Pack TM oil seal liquid ring pump uses proven liquid ring technology to
provide a reliable mechanical vacuum system. The liquid ring pump is the most important
component in the system. A rotating impeller is used to make the operating oil flow
around the inside of the pump casing. The oil forms a seal between the impeller blades,
port plates and casing. The gas is compressed in this sealed chamber.
Because heat is generated during the compression, the discharge of the pump is hotter
than the suction. The operating oil absorbs most of the heat. Since the oil and inlet gas
(usually air) are mixed at the discharge, it is necessary to separate the two prior to
discharging the gas to the atmosphere. To do this, a borosilicate gas coalescing filter is
placed in the discharge, which removes all of the visible oil from the gas before
discharging. The filter is located in the upper portion of the discharge separator vessel.
This vessel is large enough to hold about two minutes of oil supply, which is recirculated
back to the vacuum pump.
The discharged oil is hot and must be cooled during normal operation by passing through
a cooler. At start-up, however, the extra oil in the separator is relatively cool (room
temperature). Since any water vapor in the suction stream could condense if the
discharge is too cool, it is desirable to heat the oil quickly. Therefore, a thermal bypass
valve is placed in the oil re-circulation line. This valve lets the oil bypass the cooler until
it gets to about 150F. Once it reaches 150F, the valve mechanically switches and the
oil is passed through the cooler.

The cooler is designed to remove the thermal load, about equal to the motor horsepower,
from the oil before it is sucked back into the pump. Since the cooler uses ambient air to
operate, the oil discharge temperature will be somewhat dependent on the local air
density and temperature.

CAUTION
Operating the system at altitudes above 3000 feet or more may
cause discharge temperatures to be above the
recommended maximum unless specially designed coolers are utilized.

CAUTION
Do not operate the system in a closed room.
Adequate ventilation is required to ensure proper operation.

CAUTION
Operation of the system in ambient
temperatures greater than 104F is not recommended.

Each system contains the following components described below. Refer to Figure 1-1 for relative
placement in the systems.
1.2.1 Siemens liquid ring vacuum pump.
The Siemens liquid ring vacuum pump is the heart of the system. A liquid ring vacuum
pump is a non-pulsating rotary vacuum pump that compresses gasses using liquid as a
compressing medium. The Siemens liquid ring vacuum pump has a simple design for
reliability. A single moving part, the impeller, rotates forcing the operating liquid to form
a liquid ring within the casing. This liquid acts as a sealant, as a compressing media and
as a coolant. Wear is minimized because there is no mechanical contact of moving parts.
On the suction cycle, liquid recedes from the impellers hub, drawing gas to be
compressed through the axial suction port. Because the impeller is off-center to the ring
of rotating liquid, the liquid reciprocates into spaces between the blades much like the
operation of a cylinder, compressing the gas against the hub. After almost one revolution,
the compressed gas is discharged through axial discharge ports. The Siemens variable
discharge port provides maximum efficiency at different vacuum levels.

CAUTION
On initial start up of the system, be sure to place the
recommended (See Table 2-1) priming oil in the pump. This is
in addition to the oil placed in the separator. Damage to the
system is possible if this oil is not added on initial start-up.
1.2.2 Electric Motor
The electric motor provides an efficient, reliable prime mover for the pump. A variety of
motor designs can be provided including explosion proof motors and motors for a variety
of voltages. The correct motor voltage must be specified and is the responsibility of the
user.
1.2.3 Air / Oil Separator
The liquid ring pump discharges both oil and air into a special discharge separator. The
separator is designed to separate the oil from the air. The oil is separated and settles to the
bottom of the separator tank where it is returned to the pump through the cooling system.
The air is discharged through a fitting located at the top of the separator. The separator
also has a port for convenient filling of the system.

CAUTION
Do not fill the system through the discharge gas fitting.
Use the oil fill port on the side of the separator.

1.2.4 Coalescing Filter

The separator also has a replaceable internal coalescing filter. The air being vented to
atmosphere must first pass through this filter. Almost all of the oil mist (99.97% of all
particles 0.3 microns or larger) is removed from the air stream and returned to the system.
1.2.5 Heat Exchanger
The oil temperature is maintained by an air to oil heat exchanger with a motor driven fan
and a thermal bypass valve. The heat exchanger fan motor passes ambient air over the
radiator style heat exchanger and operates continuously. This cooling system is designed
to operate in ambient temperatures up to 104F at altitudes of less than 3000 feet above
mean sea level.
1.2.6 Inlet Check Valve
The inlet check valve provides a tight shut off and prolonged cycle life utilizing a unique
continuous elastomer around the valve bore.

1.2.7 Inlet Vacuum Gauge

The inlet vacuum gauge is a bourdon tube type gauge and indicates the vacuum level at
the pump inlet relative to ambient pressure in inches Hg vacuum. The gauge is isolated
with a convenient gauge cock to allow removal or replacement without affecting system
operation.

1.2.8 High Temperature Switch

A discharge temperature switch is provided to protect the pump from a high temperature
condition. This switch has common and normally open contacts. This switch must be tied
into the motor control panel. A high temperature condition will shut down the vacuum
system. A high temperature condition can result in damage to the pump. The switch trips
at a temperature of approximately 200F.

CAUTION
Do not operate the vacuum system unless the
discharge high temperature switch is connected.
Operation at excessive temperatures
could damage the pump or
cause early or excessive system wear.

10

1.2.9 Thermal Bypass Valve

The oil temperature is maintained by an air to oil heat exchanger with a motor driven fan
and a thermal bypass valve. The thermal bypass valve is a temperature-actuated valve
that allows the service oil to bypass the heat exchanger when its temperature is below
150F. This cooling system is designed to operate in ambient temperatures up to 104F.
1.2.10 Compound Gauge
The operating liquid compound pressure gauge provides the user an easy check to assure
that the oil system is running properly. This gauge should normally read a slight vacuum
(1-8Hg Vacuum). The gauge is isolated with a gauge cock to provide removal or
replacement without affecting system operation.
1.2.11 Pressure Gauge
The separator has a discharge pressure gauge located near the top of the separator. If the
filter becomes obstructed this gauge will indicate a high back-pressure. Normal range is 1
to 3 psig.

CAUTION
Do not operate the pump with a high discharge back pressure
since this will cause the motor to draw excessive power.
1.2.12 Oil Level Gauge
A separator level gauge provides easy monitoring of the system oil level. The oil level
should be at the pump shaft centerline for Siemens model 2BE vacuum pumps (30 to 75
Horsepower) and approximately even with the centerline of the operating liquid inlet
connection on the pump for Siemens model 2AV or 2BV (1.5 to 25 Horsepower) vacuum
pumps.
1.2.13 Drain Valve
The separator is equipped with a separator drain valve. This will allow the user to drain
away water that may have collected in the system from the process and to drain the oil for
maintenance and/or changing. Water will eventually settle to the bottom of the separator
tank. The drain line is connected to the bottom of the separator tank for convenient
draining.
1.2.14 Gauge Cocks
Gauge cocks are provided with pressure gauges (items 7 & 10) to provide isolation of the
gauges for easy replacement or removal without affecting system operation.

11

1.2.15 Structural steel Base

A rugged structural steel base is provided with the system. When a non-expandable
simplex system is furnished, all equipment is supplied on one base. When an expandable
system (simplex, duplex or triplex) is furnished, the control panel and a vacuum receiver
tank are furnished on a separate base, with each pump system on its own base.

CAUTION
The system should be installed on a flat, level surface.
If anchored to the surface with bolts, take care in avoiding excessive
piping stress on the pump, which could cause leaks or
vibration during operation.
1.2.16 Temperature Gauge
A discharge temperature gauge is provided to indicate the operating temperature of the
system. The acceptable range is 150F to 190F.
1.2.17 Ball Valves
The Y-strainer can be cleaned without loss of oil by closing two isolation valves located
at each end of the strainer. These valves should be fully opened during normal
operation.

WARNING
Do not operate the system without oil or with any of the oil system
valves in the closed position as severe damage can result.
1.2.18 Y-Strainer
The oil is collected in the bottom of the separator and returned to the pump after passing
through a Y-Strainer and the heat exchanger. The Y-Strainer is in the system to remove
any foreign debris that may have been introduced from the users process.
1.2.19 Sight Flow Indicator
A scavenge line is provided from the bottom of the coalescing filter to the suction port of
the liquid ring vacuum pump. This will remove any oil that has collected in the bottom of
the filter. The line runs externally from the upper portion of the separator tank (which
contains the coalescing filter) to the inlet manifold on the pump. A sight flow indicator is

12

provided in this line. It is normal for a SLIGHT amount of oil to flow in this line. A
constant flow of oil indicates that the coalescing filter requires replacement. [Note that a
small needle valve is included in high vacuum systems to allow operation above 28
inches Hg vacuum.]
1.2.20 Low Level Switch (optional)
A separator low-level switch may be provided to indicate a low oil level condition. This
switch has common and normally open contacts, which should be tied into the motor
control panel using a time delay to eliminate false trips due to tank turbulance. A lowlevel condition should shut down the pump drive motor. Low oil level can result in loss
of the liquid ring and possible damage to the pump.
1.2.21 High Level Switch (optional)
A separator high-level switch may be provided to indicate a high oil level condition. This
switch has common and normally open contacts, which should be tied into the motor
control panel using a time delay to eliminate false trips due to tank turbulance. A highlevel condition should shut down the pump drive motor. High oil level can result in
motor overload and possible damage to the pump.
1.2.22 Inlet Filter (optional)
An inlet filter with 10-micron polyester element may be provided for applications where
particulate matter may be present in the users process.
1.2.23 Non-Expandible Control Panel (optional)
1.2.23.1 Control Panel (optional)
The optional base-frame mounted integral control panel is provided with motor starter
including overloads, on-off switch, motor running light, high temperature light and
high/low-level indicator lights. A reset switch is provided to clear any shut down
condition. The panel will automatically shut down the pump drive motor in the event of
over-temperature, low or high oil level (if supplied with the system) or motor overload
conditions. The indicator lights will show the reason for shut down. The panel has an
hour meter that will indicate total running hours for the pump drive motor.
The panel provides motor protection that will prevent motor burn out in overload
conditions. The operator should limit the number of across the line starts. This is to
prevent potential motor damage from excessive starting. All electric motors require high
starting current and the number of starts per hour should be limited to the motor
manufacturers recommendations (usually one hot or 2 cold starts per hour).
The panel can be provided dedicated for one system (simplex) or can be ordered for an
expandable system.

13

CAUTION
The non-expandable system panel does not
control the system vacuum level.
If system vacuum level control is required,
an expandable panel with PLC control is required.
The non-expandable simplex control panel will be provided attached to the standard
structural base fame that accommodates the system.
1.2.23.2 Power Supply
The panel has been designed for the voltage indicated on the supplied panel-wiring
diagram.

CAUTION
Operation of this system at voltages
other than those specified in the
supplied system documentation
can cause extreme damage.

1.2.23.3 Combination/Non-Combination Starter Panel

Siemens panels are non-combination types unless otherwise specified.

The customer must provide a fusible disconnect or circuit breaker unless a combination
starter is specified for the control panel.

The heat exchanger fan and vacuum pump drive motors are protected by thermal
overload devices. Each overload relay has an adjustable setting that is factory set to
match the nameplate full load current of the motors. If the setting is changed it will result
in improper motor protection. The settings should be checked to assure that they match
the motor full load current value that is provided on the motor nameplates.

15

1.2.23.5 Non-expandable control panel sequence of operation

The pump starts when the operator places the on-off switch in the ON position. The
pump will run continuously unless an alarm condition occurs. If the pump shuts down
the panel will display the alarm condition that caused the shutdown by illuminating the
appropriate indicator light. This alarm light will stay on and the pump will stay deenergized until the user presses the RESET Pushbutton. When the RESET button is
pressed, the pump will re-start unless an alarm condition is still present. If the pump
shuts down and none of the alarm indicator lights are illuminated, the motor overload
could be tripped due to a motor overload condition. The motor overload relays have a
manual reset button, which must be actuated to allow the motor to re-start.

CAUTION
When the panel is connected to the users power supply, assure that the
proper voltage is applied. Refer to the wiring diagram furnished with
the system.
CAUTION
The user must provide required primary circuit protection disconnect
in compliance with NEC and local codes. This may be a fusible
disonnect or circuit breaker.
CAUTION
Only qualified personnel
Should attempt to work on the control panel.
Dangerous voltages are present.

1.3 Expandable Systems

All ELMO-Pack TM oil seal liquid ring vacuum systems are also available as expandable
systems in either NFPA99 (National Fire Protection Association Standard for Hospital
Systems) or Siemens Standard configurations.
Expandable systems are available as simplex, duplex or triplex configurations from the
factory.
The expandable panel can be ordered set up to handle up to three pumps. The panel is
pre-configured for operation as a triplex system, so any expandable simplex or duplex
panel can be easily upgraded to handle additional pumps.

CAUTION
Modification of the Siemens panel
should only be attempted by a qualified electrician
and done per manufacturers instructions.
1.3.1 Description
The expandable system consists of one or more simplex systems as previously described
plus an additional base frame containing a vacuum receiver tank and an expandable
control panel. Each vacuum pump system will be referred to as an Expansion Module.
The system can handle up to three Expansion Modules. If it is initially ordered with one
or two pumps, additional ELMO-Pack TM Expansion Modules can be added later and
field installed. The additional electrical components can be field installed in the
Expandable Control Panel by a qualified electrician and are included with each expansion
module. The panel is pre-wired and designed to accept the expansion module
components. A qualified plumber can pipe the additional expansion modules into the
system.
The panel is normally furnished in a NEMA 12 or NEMA 7 enclosure with noncombination starters. The customer must provide a fusible disconnect or circuit breaker.
A normal NFPA 99 system includes disconnects.
The Vacuum receiver tank is included to provide vacuum storage to accommodate
changes in demand from the customers process. The vacuum receiver is a Carbon steel
ASME code vessel that functions as an accumulator. If there are sudden changes in
demand from the process, the vacuum receiver volume will respond by providing a stored
vacuum source that will help maintain the system pressure. This will prevent excessive
starting and stopping of the pumps. The receiver tank is provided with a sight level
gauge and drain valve.

18

1.3.2 NFPA vs. Standard Systems

The expandable ELMO-Pack TM liquid ring systems are available as either standard
configuration or NFPA 99 compliant systems. Both the standard and the NFPA
configurations contain the same basic components, including:
-

Vacuum receiver tank

ELMO-Pack TM expansion modules
Suction piping
Inlet filters
Control panel

In addition to these basic system components, the NFPA 99 compliant system includes:
-

Discharge piping manifold with isolation values

Specially configured control panels with disconnects and
redundant control voltage transformer.
Low vacuum pressure switch, alarm and reset button.

For most industrial applications, the standard configuration is acceptable. NFPA 99

specifications typically only apply to medical and certain lab applications.

Refer to Table 1-2 for panel configuration.

The heat exchanger fan and vacuum pump drive motors are protected by thermal
overload devices. Each overload relay has an adjustable setting that is factory set to
match the nameplate full load current of the motors. If the setting is changed it will result
in improper motor protection. The settings should be checked to assure that they match
the motor full load current value that is provided on the motor nameplates.
1.3.2.2 Operation (25 HP or less)

CAUTION
When the panel is connected to the users power supply, assure that the
proper voltage is applied. Refer to wiring diagram furnished with the
system.
CAUTION
For non-NFPA 99 systems, the user must provide a primary circuit
protection disconnect in compliance with NEC. This may be a fusible
disconnect or circuit breaker. These are provided per NFPA 99
requirements on NFPA systems.
The Expandable Control Panel provides manual or automatic operation of one, two or
three pumps. The requirement for running pumps is determined by vacuum switches. If
the system has three pumps and all three units are in the automatic mode position, the
system will operate as follows: On start-up, all three pumps will be started immediately
and will continue to run until vacuum increases beyond the set-point of VAC-1 vacuum
switch. This switch is set to the highest vacuum of all three switches. We will refer to this
switch as the lead vacuum switch. When vacuum increases beyond the lead vacuum
switch set point, all pumps will shut down after a user adjustable time delay has timed
out. The time delay prevents overheating of the motors caused by excessive repeated
starts.
System vaccum will decrease with process demand. When system vacuum decreases to
the set point plus the adjustable dead band of the lead vacuum switch (VAC-1), the lead
pump will start. This pump will continue to run until process vacuum has reached the set
point of the lead vacuum switch and the adjustable run timer TR-1 has timed out.
If system vacuum decreases with only one pump running and reaches the set point of
VAC-2 (lag vacuum switch), the lag pump will start. Both pumps will continue to run
until the system vacuum has reached the set point of the lead pressure switch and the
adjustable run timer TR-1 has timed out.

23

If system vacuum continues to decrease with two pumps running and reaches the set
point of VAC-3 (lag-lag vacuum switch), the lag-lag pump will start. All three pumps
will continue to run until the system vacuum has reached the set point of the lead pressure
switch and the adjustable run timer TR-1 has timed out.
Each time the lead vacuum switch shuts down the pumps (on increasing vacuum), the
roles of lead, lag and lag-lag pump functions will be alternated between pump #1,
pump #2 and pump #3 to provide even cycle time for all three pumps. If one pump is
shut down because of an alarm condition, the other pumps will continue to run on
demand as described above.

CAUTION
Only qualified personnel
Should attempt to work on the control panel.
Dangerous voltages are present.
1.3.2.3 Operation (30 HP or larger)
System panel configuration logic is custom designed for larger horsepower units to meet
customer requirements. Please refer to the custom documentation included with your
large horsepower system for specific details of operation.
1.4 Application Limits
The ELMO-Pack TM Oil Seal System is a liquid ring vacuum pump package with a selfcontained cooling system. The system is designed to operate with a special sealing oil
that is provided with the system. This oil will provide increased vacuum levels (deeper
vacuum) at increased operating temperatures. The pump can operate at a higher
temperature without cavitation, and there will not be loss of operating liquid due to
evaporation because oil has a much lower vapor pressure (higher boiling point) than
water. Normal operating temperature for the system is 150 -190F.
These systems are ideal where it is not convenient for a user to provide a water supply to
a typical liquid ring pump application.

24

Liquid ring pumps are ideal for applications requiring a rugged vacuum pump that can
tolerate entrained liquid and solids. However, there are some situations that require
special designs. If the following limits are observed, the standard system will give years
of trouble free operation.
-

Ambient Temperature must not exceed 104F while using the standard motors.

Altitude at installation location must be 3000 ft. above mean sea level.

Water vapor or the condensable load must not be excessive. Contact the factory
for assistance in determining if excessive vapor is present in your suction gas.

The use of an inlet filter is advisable if particulate matter is present in the suction
stream. This will prolong the life of the oil.

If reactive chemicals are present, special oils may be required. The standard oil is
an ISO 22 non-detergent semi-synthetic (Poly-alpha olefin) oil selected for
vacuum service. Contact the factory for assistance in selecting the proper oil for
your application.

Liquid ring pumps may not operate properly below 29 inches Hg vacuum. If
excessive vibration or noise at low pressures is experienced, contact the factory
for assistance.

Maximum consumed power is at 20 inches Hg vacuum. It may be necessary to

adjust the seal liquid flow rate at this operating point by throttling one of the
strainer isolation valves.

Operation of the system in dirty or dusty environments may require frequent

cleaning of the radiator cooler. It is also possible to provide an air duct or filter to
minimize fouling of the radiator.

WARNING
Operation of the standard system outside the application limits
described above could cause a hazardous condition,
damage to the equipment and will void the factory warranty.

25

Section 2.0 Installation

2.1 Unpacking
Inspect the ELMO-Pack TM System and pump carefully and note any signs of damage
incurred in transit. Verify that the packing list and the received shipment are in agreement
and all listed items are present.
Since all systems are ordinarily shipped FOB our factory, any damages in transit are the
responsibility of the carrier and should be reported to them immediately. All ELMO-Pack
TM
Systems can be lifted using a forklift on the underside of the steel frame. Never lift
the entire system by the pump and motor assembly only. When lifting, care should be
taken to assure that the skid is secure and balanced. The skid can then be lowered onto
wooden cribbing (4x4 timbers are suitable) so the forks can be withdrawn.
The base should be lowered and leveled using jacks. Precision leveling is not required;
level the base using a carpenters level. Although grouting is not required, the frame
should be continuously supported. The frame is provided with anchor bolt holes to
secure the system to the foundation.
For maintenance, the Siemens vacuum pump and motor assembly can be lifted off of the
systems frame independently. See Maintenance section for lifting instructions. The inlet
port of the pump is covered for shipment as well as the exhaust connection on the
separator tank. This will prevent dirt or other foreign materials from entering the pump or
separator. Leave these covers in place until just before the piping is connected to the
ELMO-PackTM System.
2.2 Electrical Power Supply
Check the wiring diagram supplied with your system to determine the voltage
requirements for the unit and the type of disconnects supplied.

WARNING
If the voltage reported on the wiring diagram supplied with the system
does not match your supply voltage,
contact the factory immediately.
Do not attempt to install the system if the supply voltage and the system
voltage requirement do not match, as a hazardous condition and severe
damage could result.

26

2.3 Location
The ELMO-Pack TM must be installed on a horizontal, level surface. Floor anchors are not
required because of low vibration levels. If anchors are used, care must be taken to
eliminate pipe stress load on the inlet piping. A flex connector should be installed.
At least 2 feet of air space should be allowed between any wall or obstruction and the
heat exchanger air intake. This will assure adequate flow of cooling air and provide
maintenance access.
For expandable systems, place the vacuum receiver skid on the far left of the installation
pad. Then place each expansion module next to the receiver skid and connect the piping
as indicated in Figure 2-1.
For expandable systems, run the provided wiring from the panel to the vacuum expansion
modules.

2.4 Wiring Installation

Wire all components in accordance with the wiring diagram in Section 1.0, Control
Panel, or the wiring diagram supplied with your equipment. See Figure 1-2 (Nonexpandable system) or Figure 2-2 (expandable systems) for details.
If the system is supplied with a Siemens Panel, wire the power to the panel.

Section 3.0 Operation

3.1 Preliminary Inspection
1.

Check the seal-oil liquid level and prime the pump with oil as described in
Section 2.5.
2. Open all valves in the operating liquid line to allow service liquid flow.
3. Make sure all drain valves are closed.
4. Open block valves on all gauges.
5. Check all piping making sure the connections are in accordance with Figure 2-2.
6. Open any isolation valves in the suction and discharge piping.
7. Check that the power supply to the motor has correct voltage and amperage as
specified in supplied wiring diagram.
8. Isolate the power source from the motor to prevent accidental starting of the motor
and system.
9. Install all necessary disconnects in accordance with local codes.
10. For each installed pump briefly jog the motor by placing the panel selector in the
manual position for a few seconds. Observe the direction of rotation of the pump.
Correct direction of rotation of the vacuum pump for BV2 and AV2 systems is
clockwise when viewed from the non-drive end of the motor; for BE1 systems the
correct direction of rotation of the vacuum pump is clockwise when viewed from the
drive end of the pump. Change pump or panel wiring (switch location of 2 leads) if
pump is operating in opposite direction from that indicated.

WARNING
Local codes may require and Siemens recommends installation of fused
disconnects or circuit breakers within sight of the control panel.
Standard control panels are not supplied with disconnects.
Check local code requirements prior to installation.

CAUTION
Only a qualified electrician should attempt
electrical installation of this system.

31

3.2 Startup
With steps 1 through 9 complete from section 3.1 (Preliminary Inspection), switch all
pumps to auto mode. All vacuum pumps should start. Observe the vacuum gauge on the
inlet connection. The gauge should start to indicate vacuum within 15 seconds. If no
vacuum is indicated, turn off the system immediately. Perform all steps 1 through 9 from
section 3.1 (Preliminary Inspection). There will not be a vacuum if there is no system
resistance to gas flow at the suction.

CAUTION
Repeated starts can cause overheating of the motor, which may result in
motor burnout (particularly for across the line starting).
If repeated starts are made, allow sufficient time between trails to
permit heat to dissipate from windings and rotor to prevent
overheating. Please consult the motor manual.
1. Confirm the oil in the separator is at the correct level and trace the operating liquid
line confirming all valves are open and the seal liquid is flowing from the separator to
the pump.
2. Confirm that there are no closed valves in the discharge piping from to the pump.
(NFPA systems only)
Run the system for hour and check for the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Stable vacuum.
No unusual vibration or noise.
Operating temperature should be 150-190F.
Acceptable operating pressure at the separator should be 1-3 psig.
Acceptable operating pressure for the operating oil at the pump should be 1-8 Hg
Vacuum.
6. Seal oil level in separator level gauge.
3.3 Shut down
The ELMO-Pack TM system design makes shut down and re-start virtually one step
operations. When the system is to be shut down simply turn the power supply to the
system off. The ELMO-Pack Oil TM seal system is supplied with an inlet check valve to
prevent any fluid being pulled from the pump back up into the system piping.

32

3.4 Vacuum switch adjustment (expandible systems only)

Each vacuum pump in an expandible system is provided with a pressure switch (See
Figure 3-1) to control the vacuum cut-in point of the pump. The factory settings are
outlined in Table 1-2, Section 1.3.2.1. Each switch is field adjustable to alternate settings
by following the procedure outlined in this section.

Figure 3-1 Typical Pressure Switch

3.4.1 Operation
The controls are actuated by vacuum. The following sequence occurs: 1) an increase in
vacuum (towards 30 in. Hg vacuum), causes circuit A-B to close and B-C to open (See
Figure 3-2). This is the Trip setting. 2) when the pressure returns to a predetermined
lower vacuum (towards atmospheric pressure), circuit A-B will open and circuit B-C will
close. This is the Reset point. The difference between the Trip and Reset setting
is the differential.

Figure 3-2

Standard Contact Arrangement for Negative Pressure

33

3.4.2 Adjustment
Generally, unless otherwise specified, controls shipped from the factory are set at the
operating range vacuum indicated in Table 1-2 and minimum differential.
3.4.3 Operating range adjustment
Turn range adjustment Screw A counterclockwise to lower the upper and lower
vacuum settings. To increase the upper and lower settings, turn Screw A clockwise.
The approximate upper vacuum setting is shown by indicators on the outer edges of the
nameplate.
3.4.4 Differential adjustment
When the differential blade is at the low point of the differential cam the control will
function at minimum differential. To increase the differential, turn adjustment Screw B
counterclockwise. This will decrease the higher vacuum setting only. To decrease the
differential, turn differential adjustment Screw B clockwise. This will lower the higher
setting only.
Condensed instructions are supplied with open style controls and are on the inside of the
cover on enclosed devices.
NOTE: Use the vacuum gauge (See Figure 1-1) when setting the control.

CAUTION
The range adjustment Screw A should not be adjusted beyond the
pressure indicated on the pressure scale as this may cause the control to
malfunction.
It is recommended that a periodic inspection of gauge vacuum be made and the vacuum
control adjusted to compensate for application variables.

35

WARNING
Shut down the system and lock out power
before proceeding with any of the scheduled maintenance.

4.3 Strainer
With the pump shut down, close the ball valves located directly upstream and directly
downstream from the strainer. Place a catch pan directly below the strainer to catch
escaping oil from the strainer and pipe (see Figure 4-1). With proper sized wrench,
loosen the screen cover nut and remove (see Fig 4-2). Note that the stainless steel screen
should slide out easily. Remove the screen from the housing, clear any dirt or debris, and
inspect screen for tears, old oil buildup or damage. After clearing the screen replace it
and be sure that the screen slides easily back into place. Do not force the screw anchors
into place; if resistance is felt, check the housing cavity for obstructions. Use Teflon tape
to reseal the threads of the strainer. Once the seal is re-established, be sure to open both
isolation valves to ensure proper operation of the system.

Figure 4-1 Preparing to clean Y-strainer.

Figure 4.2. Cleaning the Y-strainer

screen.

4.4 Operating Liquid Seal Oil

The ELMO-Pack TM Oil Seal System is shipped with factory recommended seal fluid. We
recommend the use of Siemens ELMO-22005G (See Appendix for MSDS Sheet) seal
fluid to achieve optimum performance of the system. Contact the factory to reorder the
required replacement.

36

DANGER
Operation on improperly selected oil can cause overheating,
overloading of the motor or degradation of the elastomers used in the
pump.
Use only Siemens ELMO-22005G vacuum oil to preserve warranty
coverage.

4.4.1 Draining Oil

Place a catch pan under the ball valve located at the separator tank bottom (See Figure 43) With the pump shut down, open the ball valve and drain the operating liquid oil,
emptying the catch pan to drain any water or dirt that may have accumulated in the
separator below the operating liquid outlet connection (See Table 2.1 for quantity of oil
in system). When the oil has completely drained from the separator, shut the valve.
Locate the system drain plug upstream from the thermostatic bypass valve in the vertical
piping tee (see Figure 4-4). Place a catch basin under the plug. Remove it and allow the
oil to drain. After all the oil is completely drained reinstall the drain plug using Teflon
tape to assure a proper seal. Inspect used oil. If it seems dirty, flush the separator with
clean oil as needed until the flushing oil runs clean. Properly dispose of the old oil.

Figure 4-3. Draining the oil

separator.

Figure 4-4. Using the total drain

to remove all oil from the system.

If removing the pump from the system, be sure to drain all of the oil from the casing. To
do this, locate the total drain on the bottom of the pump cover. Remove the drain plug
and allow the oil to flow into a catch basin. Replace the total drain plug, along with the
reusable gasket when finished.

37

4.4.2 Adding oil

With the separator flushed, close the ball valve located at the tank bottom. Place oil
absorbent mats under the oil fill connection. Remove the square head pipe plug from the
oil fill connection on the separator. Place the funnel in the fill connection opening and
pour new oil into the separator.(See fig. 4-5) While adding oil check the level gauge
located below the fill connection for oil level. Oil level must be maintained at the service
liquid connection of the pump (models from 2 to 25 horsepower) or pump shaft center
line (models from 30 horsepower and higher) . Over filling will cause the pump to
overwork and become hot. After reaching the required level, (See Section 2.5, Table 2.1)
operate the pump for 3 to 4 minutes. Now stop the pump and the check the oil level
again. If required, add additional fluid up to the recommended level.

FIRST TIME START-UP

When starting a system for the first
time after a rebuild of the pump or on
receipt from the factory, it may be
necessary to prime the pump.
See Section 2.5 for detailed
instructions.
Figure 4-5. Filling the separator
with oil.

CAUTION
Do not add oil through the gas discharge opening, since
it will collect in the oil mist coalescing element and cause start-up
problems. Only add oil through the oil fill connection.
4.5 Inlet Filter (optional)
Check after 50 hours of pump operation, clean or replace the element every 1000 to 3000
operating hours depending on the application or when excessive loss of vacuum is
noticed during operation. Be careful during inspection and cleaning not to knock off
excessive dirt or debris into the pump inlet. Remove any foreign debris from the filter
housing.

38

4.6 Discharge Oil Filter

4.6.1 Removing Filter
Disconnect and remove any discharge piping. Disconnect the scavenge line tubing at the
connection located below the in-line sight glass (Figure 4-6). Loosen & remove the hex
bolts, hex nuts, and washers. Store the loose fasteners in a secure place. Place oil
absorbent mats around separator base to collect any excess oil in the discharge oil filter
upon removal from the separator. Remove the separator top plate vertically being careful
not to damage the internal scavenge line piping (Figure 4-7) Remove the internal
scavenge line from the separator top plate to avoid damaging the piping while the filter is
being replaced. Lift the filter vertically to avoid lodging the filter within the separator
tank. Properly dispose of the old filter.

Figure 4-6. Removal of separator lid.

Figure 4-7. Removal of oil

filter.

4.6.2 Replacing Filter

With the old filter removed per instructions above, place the new discharge oil filter
inside the separator. If necessary, reconnect the internal scavenge line tubing to the
separator top plate. Orient the separator top plate so the external scavenge line realigns
with the vertical scavenge line tubing from the pump and reinstall the top plate on the
separator. Replace hex bolts, hex nuts, and washers in the separator top plate and tighten.
Reconnect the vertical scavenge line tubing from pump.

39

4.7 Cooler
The air cooler should maintain a 150-190F pump discharge temperature. If this
temperature is not maintained, check the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Fan motor not functioning (contact Siemens customer service for replacement.)
Fan motor amps too high (check voltage).
Visually inspect fan and radiator for any visible damage or wear.
Clean Radiator fins as required if damaged, bent or clogged with debris.
Oil flow blocked. Check y-strainer and clean as required.

4.8 Inlet Check Valve

If an inlet check valve is replaced or reinstalled be sure that the valve is installed so the
flaps fall downward. This check valve is provided without spring to assist close. Gravity
holds the valve open when it is installed in the vertical position with flow downward.
This valve should only close when the vacuum pump is de-energized and the process is
still under vacuum. The valve then closes and stops any flow of oil into the inlet piping
and the process equipment.
4.9 Thermostatic Control Valve
The Thermostatic control valve is a non-adjustable valve. The valve comes factory set to
operate at 150F. When the discharge temperature gauge reads less than 150F, the line
from the thermal bypass valve to the heat exchanger should be cool to the touch. Above
150F, this line should feel hot. If this is not the case, contact a Siemens customer
service representative for a replacement.

CAUTION
Exercise care when touching piping with hot oil flowing inside.
Do not touch if the discharge temperature gauge reads above 160F, as
burns may result.
4.10 Pump Disassembly
4.10.1 Applicability
These instructions apply only to the 7.5 Horsepower through 25 horsepower model AV2
ELMO-Pack TM systems. For the systems below 7.5 horsepower consult the appropriate
Siemens Manual for 2BV style pumps. For systems greater than 25 HP, consult the
Siemens Manual for 2BE1 style pumps. Copies of these manuals are supplied when
applicable or may be obtained directly from our website, www.siemensvpc.com.

Figure 4.10. Removal of port

plate from the cover.

4.10.5 Removal of Port Plate from Cover

When required, the port plate can be removed from the cover. Place the cover/port plate
assembly on wooden blocks so that the port plate is laying flat parallel to the work
surface. Remove the total drain connection plug located at the bottom of the cover
(Figure 4-10). Place a 3/8 diameter bolt (minimum 6 in length) through the total drain
connection and tap it with a hammer until the port plate comes loose from the cover.

CAUTION
Do not apply excessive force when removing the port plate
from the casing as damage to the port plate could result.

42

4.10.5.1 Removal of Seal Compound from Port Plate/Cover Surfaces.

The port plate is sealed to the cover by application of a liquid sealant to the common
surfaces on the reverse side of the port plate and the cover. Before re-assembly, old
liquid sealant (blue in color) should be removed from these surfaces with a putty knife or
suitable wire brush. During re-assembly, a liquid sealant must be reapplied to these same
surfaces any time that the port plate is removed from the casing.
4.10.5.2 Variable Discharge Valve Removal
There is a stainless steel plate bolted to the outboard side of
the port plate at the discharge port (Figure 4-11). Remove
this plate and the Teflon flapper valve found beneath it.
Inspect the flapper valve for damage and replace as
necessary.

CAUTION
The flapper valve must be installed
for proper operation of the pump.
Operation without a flapper valve or
a damaged flapper valve
will affect pump and system
performance.

port plate and cover.

4.10.6 Impeller Removal

Using a slotted crossarm puller (Snap-On Model Number CJ84-4 or equal) and a
pneumatic wrench (Figure 4-12), pull the impeller off of the shaft (Figure 4-13). It is
permissible to heat the hub of the impeller when necessary.
There is a fluted tolerance ring between the shaft and impeller that assists in holding the
impeller to the shaft. This ring should be replaced (do not re-use) during re-assembly of
the pump.
Now remove the key in the shaft and observe the mechanical seal.

43

CAUTION
Reuse of the tolerance ring during
re-assembly may cause the
impeller to seat improperly or
move on the shaft, which could
damage the pump.

Figure 4-13. Removal of impeller

with slotted crossarm puller.
4.10.7 Mechanical Seal Removal
Place some clean oil on the shaft to aid in removal of the mechanical seal. Slide the
mechanical seal out and off of the shaft. Place it in a clean area and protect the surfaces
of the seal faces from damage.

Apply liquid sealant to all common faces between the back of the port plate and the cover
prior to re-assembly. Do not over apply sealant to assure proper operation of the pump.
The recommended sealant is Dow Corning 832 or comparable.

46

4.10.12.3 O-Ring Replacement

It is often difficult to replace the o-ring located on the outside of the inner face of the port
plate to seal it to the casing. To assist in placing the o-ring properly, it is permissible to
spray the o-ring with adhesive (3M High Strength Binding Spray Adhesive or equal) to
assist in re-assembly.
4.11 Motor Maintenance
At a minimum, the bearing lubrication, insulation resistance and cleanliness of the motor
must be periodically checked as part of a routine maintenance program.
4.11.1 Bearing Lubrication

CAUTION
Do not lubricate motor while in operation, since excess grease will be
forced through the bearings and into the motor before it will force its
way out of the drain plug. Excess grease accumulation on windings
reduces insulation life.
Bearing life is assured by maintaining proper alignment, proper belt tension, and good
lubrication at all times.
Prior to shipment, motor bearings are lubricated with the proper amount and grade of
grease to provide six months of satisfactory service under normal operation and
conditions.
For best results, grease should be compounded from a polyurea base and a good grade of
petroleum oil. It should be of No. 2 consistency and stabilized against oxidation.
Operating temperature range should be from 15F to +300F for class F and H
insulation. Most leading oil companies have special bearing greases that are satisfactory,
such as Exxon Unirex N3.
Re-lubricate bearings every six months (more often if conditions require), as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Stop the motor. Lock out the switch.

Thoroughly clean off pipe plugs and remove from housings.
Remove hardened grease from drains with stiff wire or rod.
Add new grease to inlet with hand gun until small amount of new grease is
forced out of drain.
5. Remove excess grease from ports, replace inlet plugs, and run motor hour
before replacing drain plug.
6. Put motor back into operation.

47

4.11.2 Checking Insulation Resistance

Check insulation resistance periodically. Any approved method of measuring insulation
resistance may be used, provided the voltage across the insulation is at a sage value for
the type and condition of the insulation. A hand cranked megger of not over 500 volts is
the most convenient and safest method. Standards of the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE) recommend that the insulation resistance of stator
windings at 75C, measured at 500 volts DC, after one minute should not be less than:
Rated Voltage of Machine + 1000 = Insulation Resistance in Megaohms
1000
This formula is satisfactory for most checks. For more information, see IEEE Standard
No. 43, Recommended Practice for Insulation Resistance Testing of AC Rotating
Machinery.

4.11.3 Checking Motor Cleanliness

CAUTION
Do not attempt to clean motor while it is operating. Contact with
rotating parts can cause severe personal injury or property damage.
Stop the motor and lock out switch before cleaning.
The motor exterior must be kept free of oil, dust, dirt, water, and chemicals. For fan
cooled motors, it is particularly important to keep the air intake openings free of foreign
material. Do not block air outlet or inlet.
On non-explosion-proof TEFC motors, a removable plug in the bottom center of the
motor frame or housing permits removal of accumulated moisture. Drain regularly.

48

4.12 V-Belt Drive Instructions

ELMO-Pack systems utilizing a V-belt drive must be properly set up and positioned
before stating. Sheaves must be aligned with the grooves parallel to each other.
Setscrews and mounting bolts should be checked to ensure tightness on the motor and
pump shafts. Ensure that sheaves are properly installed and aligned before tensioning the
drive. Belts should be placed over the sheaves and into the grooves without being forced
into place.
1. With all belts in their grooves, adjust the center distance and take up the slack until
the belts are fairly taut (use the adjusting bolt on the motor slide base to perform this
operation) with a slight bow on the slack side.
2. Test the drive under load conditions. If the bow on the slack side is too tight or too
loose, shut down the unit and adjust the center distance accordingly. Retest the drive.
Belts which slip or squeal on start are usually too slack, which results in inefficient
operation, high belt temperature and shortened belt service life. Belts which are too
tight cause high motor amperage or excessive bearing load which may result in
shortened bearing and shaft seal life.
3. The belts should be monitored frequently for the first few days of operation. The
belts will seat themselves in the grooves during this period. They may also stretch a
bit requiring some re-adjustment.

NOTE: Belts should always be replaced as a set!

Figure 4-17. Check individual unit rotation arrows to determine proper direction of
rotation.

49

Section 5.0 STORAGE

5.1 SHORT TERM (3 MONTHS OR LESS)
The following steps must be followed:
1. ELMO-Pack TM Oil Seal System must be stored in a warehouse free from extreme
temperatures, humidity and corrosive atmospheres
2. If unusual vibration exists at the storage facility isolator pads should be placed under
the ELMO-Pack TM Oil Seal System .
3. All breathers and drains are to be sealed while in the storage facility to protect from
moisture accumulation.
4. Minimize condensation around the ELMO-Pack TM . Place desiccant
around the motor and other controls to reduce the effect of moisture

5.2 LONG TERM (OVER 3 MONTHS)

1. ELMO-PACK TM Oil Seal Systems are to be kept in a warehouse free from extreme
temperature, humidity and corrosive atmospheres.
2. If unusual vibration exists at the storage facility isolator pads should be placed under
the ELMO-Pack TM Oil Seal System.
3. All breathers and drains are to be sealed while in the storage facility to protect from
moisture accumulation.
4. Minimize condensation around the ELMO-Pack TM Oil Seal System. Place the
desiccant around the motor and other controls to reduce the effect of moisture.
5. Coat all exposed machined surfaces with a material to prevent corrosion. (EXXON
Rust Ban #392, or equal)
6. Before placing into storage, measure and record the electrical resistance of the
winding insulation with a megger or an insulation resistance meter. Minimum
acceptable Megohm level is the insulation kV rating + 1 Megohm. This information
will be needed when removing the system from long-term storage.
7. When removing the ELMO-Pack TM Oil Seal System from long-term storage the
motor windings are to be meggered and this reading is to be compared to with the
readings taken before the package was put into storage. The insulation resistance
reading must not have dropped more than 50% from the original readings from line
#6. Any drop below this point necessitates electrical or mechanical drying.

50

Check inlet check valve and inlet filter (optional). Ensure no lines are open to atmosphere causing loss of
vacuum.
Ensure that the oil level is correct and that the pump is primed.
Check the vacuum switch setting, if supplied.
Check for low oil level, add oil if needed (Oil to be above level shutoff switch).
Check discharge temperature and high temperature switch (switch set at 200F).
Check the oil scavenger line for a "high vacuum" needle valve (necessary for operation above 28" Hg V).
