 Product Description | 2

2.1 Operating Principle

The machine works on the rotary vane principle.

The oil seals the gaps, lubricates the vanes and takes away compression heat.
The oil filter cleans the circulating oil.
Exhaust filters separate the oil from the discharged gas.

2.2 Application
The machine is intended for the suction of air and other dry, non-aggressive, non-toxic
and non-explosive gases.
Conveying of other media leads to an increased thermal and/or mechanical load on the
machine and is permissible only after a consultation with Busch.
The machine is intended for the placement in a non-potentially explosive environment.
The machine is designed for indoor installation, in case of outdoor installation, ask your
Busch representative in order to take specific precautions.
The machine is capable of maintaining ultimate pressure, see Technical Data [► 25].
Version with float valve (standard):
The machine is suitable for continuous operation.
Version with oil return valve:
During operation oil accumulates at the bottom of the upper chamber of the oil
separator, which cannot flow down into the bottom chamber, as long as the ma-
chine runs. At the latest after 10 h of continuous operation, in case of high pres-
sure difference between suction side and pressure side after a shorter period, the
machine must be shut down for at least 15 min, so that the oil can run down
from the upper chamber of the oil separator into the bottom chamber.
Permitted environmental conditions, see Technical Data [► 25].

2 | Product Description

2.3 Start Controls

The machine comes without start controls. The control of the machine is to be provided
in the course of installation.
The machine can be equipped with a soft-starter.

2.4 Optional Accessories

2.4.1 Gas Ballast Valve
The gas ballast valve mixes the process gas with a limited quantity of ambient air to
counteract the condensation of vapour inside the machine.
The gas ballast valve has an influence on the ultimate pressure of the machine, see Tech-
nical Data [► 25].

2.4.2 Inlet Filter

The inlet filter protects the machine against dust and other solids in the process gas. The
inlet filter is available with a paper or polyester cartridge.

2.4.3 Level Switch

The level switch monitors the oil level in the oil separator (OS).

 Transport | 3

3 Transport
WARNING
Suspended load.
Risk of severe injury!
• Do not walk, stand or work under suspended loads.

WARNING
Lifting the machine using the motor eye bolt.
Risk of severe injury!
• Do not lift the machine using the eye bolt fitted to the motor. Only lift the machine as
shown.

NOTICE
In case the machine is already filled with oil.
Tilting a machine that is already filled with oil can cause large quantities of oil to in-
gress into the cylinder. Starting the machine with excessive quantities of oil in the
cylinder will immediately break the vanes and ruin the machine!
• Drain the oil prior to every transport or always horizontally transport the machine.

• Make sure that the eyebolt(s) (EB) is/are in faultless condition, fully screwed in and
tightened by hand.

Machine weight:
see the technical data or the nameplate (NP)

• Check the machine for transport damage.

If the machine is secured to a base plate:
• Remove the machine from the base plate.

4 | Storage

4 Storage
• Seal all apertures with adhesive tape or reuse provided caps.
If the machine is to be stored for more than 3 months:
• Wrap the machine in a corrosion inhibiting film.
• Store the machine indoors, dry, dust free and if possible in original packaging
preferably at temperatures between 0 ... 40 °C.

5.2 Connecting Lines / Pipes

• Remove all protective covers before installation.
• Make sure that the connection lines cause no stress on the machine‘s connection; if
necessary use flexible joints.
• Make sure that the line size of the connection lines over the entire length is at least as
large as the connections of the machine.
In case of long connection lines it is advisable to use larger line sizes in order to avoid a
loss of efficiency. Seek advice from your Busch representative.

5.2.1 Suction Connection

NOTICE
Ingress of foreign objects or liquids.
Risk of damage to the machine!
If the inlet gas contains dust or other foreign solid particles:
• Install a suitable filter (5 micron or less) upstream from the machine.

Connection size(s):
– G1 1/4
Depending on the specific order, other connection dimensions may apply.

5.2.2 Discharge Connection

CAUTION
The discharge gas contains small quantities of oil.
Risk to health!
If air is discharged into rooms where persons are present:
• Make sure that sufficient ventilation is provided.

Connection size(s):
– 1x G1 1/4 ► RA 0025/0040 F
– 2x G1 1/4 ► RA 0063/0100 F
Depending on the specific order, other connection dimensions may apply.
• Make sure that the discharged gas will flow without obstruction. Do not shut off or
throttle the discharge line or use it as a pressurised air source.
Unless the aspirated air is discharged to the environment right at the machine:
• Make sure that the discharge line either slopes away from the machine or provide a
liquid separator or a siphon with a drain cock, so that no liquids can flow back into the
machine.
