In modern industrial production and scientific research, vacuum diffusion pumps play an important role due to their efficient pumping capacity. As the core working medium, the quality and performance of vacuum diffusion pump oil are directly related to the stable operation and life of the pump. This article will explore the importance and application of vacuum diffusion pump oil.
The main functions of vacuum diffusion pump oil are lubrication, cooling, sealing and as a pumping medium. In the pump body, the oil film can reduce the friction between components and extend the service life of the equipment. At the same time, the oil circulation can take away heat and prevent the pump body from overheating. In addition, the pump oil can also form a liquid sealing layer at the sealing part to prevent gas leakage and ensure the vacuum degree. During the pumping process, the vapor molecules formed by the evaporation of the pump oil are discharged together with the pumped gas, thereby achieving a vacuum state.
It is crucial to choose the right vacuum diffusion pump oil. Different pump types and use environments have different requirements for pump oil. Therefore, when choosing pump oil, it is necessary to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and instruction manual of the pump. Using non-original oils may cause the pump to perform poorly or even cause failures.
In addition, special attention should be paid to the shelf life and use environment of vacuum diffusion pump oil. Oil should be stored in a cool and dry environment to avoid mixing with impurities. When changing the oil, it should be done after the oil temperature rises, and make sure to thoroughly clean the sediment in the pump. If the pump oil becomes darker or black, it should be replaced with new oil in time.
In summary, vacuum diffusion pump oil plays an indispensable role in vacuum equipment. Correct selection and use of pump oil can ensure the long-term stable operation of the pump and improve production efficiency.
