40-75 Hz

Temperature: +5 °C to +40 °C (41 °F to 104 °F)

Relative humidity: 0 to 95% (non-condensing)

WARNING Do not remove or modify any safety or insulating equipment

from the pump. To do so may create a serious safety hazard
and may void the warranty.

WARNING The pump is designed for operation with neutral or

noncorrosive gases. Do not use it with potentially explosive or
inflammable substances.

WARNING ❑ This pump is capable of pumping air and inert gases only. It is not

designed to pump explosive, flammable, corrosive or particulate
forming gases. They can cause bodily injury, explosion, or fire.

❑ Install in an area that is not exposed to rain, steam, or excessive

humidity. They can cause electric shock, short circuits, and severe
bodily injury.

❑ Before inspecting or servicing the pump, be sure the electrical supply

is disconnected.

❑ The gas ballast must be sealed whenever pumping any gas not

intended to be vented to the atmosphere

CAUTION ❑ Although the pump can pump trace particulates normally found in the

atmosphere, it is not designed to process solids, chemicals, powders,
solvents, condensates, or other particulates. They can damage the
equipment, degrade its performance, or shorten its useful life.

❑ Do not install or use the pump in an environment exposed to

atmospheric agents (rain, snow, ice), dust, aggressive gases, or in
explosive environments or those with a high fire risk.

otherwise damage to the pump or shortened operating life may result.

WARNING Do not insert a finger or any foreign object in the path of the

fan; serious personal injury may result or the pump may be
damaged.

CAUTION Do not block the fan ducts. Blocking these ducts can cause

pump overheating. A pump surface temperature in excess of
65 °C (150 °F) is potentially damaging. If such conditions are
observed, turn the pump off and allow it to cool. Disassemble,
inspect for damage, and repair, if necessary.

16

Electrical Connections

For 100/115 V service, connect the IDP-15 to a 15 A circuit. Operation in a smaller
capacity circuit can cause nuisance circuit breaker trips when the motor is started,
especially if mains voltage is below 100 V.

When incorporating the IDP-15 into other equipment, only use circuit breakers rated for
the motor start service. Use of circuit breakers smaller than 15 A or that are not rated for
motor starting can result in nuisance trips.

Power Cord

Several power cord options are available from your Agilent dealer. Descriptions of the
available power cords and their ordering numbers are given in Table 3.

NOTE For high voltage operation, the pump must be connected to

IDP-15 Dry Scroll Vacuum Pump

the power supply using a high voltage IEC-320 type power
shielded cord of at least 10 A rated capacity.

CAUTION Be certain that your electrical mains power voltage

corresponds to that indicated on the rear of the pump.

Mechanical Connections

Pump Inlet

Use NW25, or larger, clean vacuum hardware with as short a length as practical between
the pump and vacuum chamber.

Insert a bellows between the pump and vacuum chamber to provide both vibration
isolation and strain relief.

Pump Exhaust

An NW16 exhaust fitting is located on the side of the pump. To avoid overheating the
pump, do not restrict the exhaust flow with long lengths of small diameter tubing. Use as
short as practical lengths of 16 mm ID, or larger, diameter hardware.

Gas Ballast

When pumping gas loads containing water vapor or condensable gases, use the gas
ballast. To activate gas ballast, remove the solid 1/4 NPT plug from either port 1 or port 2,
and install the sintered filter plug provided with the pump (see Figure 2 on page 13).

IDP-15 Dry Scroll Vacuum Pump

/22/13

Gas ballast port 1 is used for moderate water vapor loads (up to 20.7 g/hr), such as
intermittently pumping out a volume exposed to normal ambient humidity. Gas ballast port
2 is used for high water vapor loads (up to 235 g/hr), such as repetitively pumping out a
volume exposed to excessive ambient humidity, or process gas loads with a high water

DRAFT 8

vapor content.

For applications where ingress of air is undesirable, dry nitrogen at a flow rate of
approximately 5 l/min can be provided to the gas ballast inlet by making a 1/4 NPT
connection to the port.

CAUTION If hazardous materials are pumped, do not use gas ballast.

CAUTION Pumping high water vapor loads can cause a temporary

increase in ultimate pressure, due to adsorption and
absorption of water vapor by the internal surfaces of the
pump. Pumping water vapor loads in excess of the water
vapor handling capability of the gas ballast can cause
reduced time between tip seal replacements.

IDP-15 Dry Scroll Vacuum Pump

Operation

Cleaning the Pump

Unlike conventional oil-sealed pumps, Agilent dry scroll pumps do not contain fluid for the
cleansing of accumulated dust and debris. Run the pump periodically with the inlet open
to atmosphere for a minute or two to flush it out. Until experience is gained on your
specific process, flush the pump regularly and adjust this schedule according to your
specific conditions.

IDP-15 Integrated Isolation Valve

The IDP-15 scroll pump offers an optional, factory-installed Integrated Isolation Valve built
into pump module. This option is installed into the body of the pump and does not affect
the external size of the pump or the height of the inlet flange.

All IDP-15 scroll pumps are supplied with an exhaust valve to prevent rapid leak-up to
atmospheric pressure. However, any vacuum pump generates a small increase in inlet
line pressure when turned off. This can cause a small amount of pump debris to be
carried back into the vacuum line or chamber when pump power is interrupted. For
applications where the process is sensitive to contamination from pump debris, install a
fast acting, automatic, normally closed valve at the pump inlet to prevent pump debris
from migrating backwards through the pump inlet.

The Integrated Isolation Valve is a safety valve that protects the vacuum system in the
event of power failure by isolating the vacuum system from the vacuum pump and venting
the pump to atmospheric pressure. The Integrated Isolation Valve is designed to prevent
any tip seal debris back streaming into the vacuum system. The valve operates with
atmospheric pressure and activates upon loss of electrical power. The lifetime is in
excess of 200,000 cycles, which translates into years of trouble free use in suitable
environments. The opening burst pressure, approximately 5 x-10
than the critical backing pressure for turbo molecular and diffusion pumps.

The Integrated Isolation Valve's solenoid valve is connected in parallel with the IDP-15
electrical supply. When the electrical power is on, the solenoid valve is closed, which
allows the pump to keep the Integrated Isolation Valve's body and the vacuum system
evacuated. Interruption of electrical power to the pump causes the solenoid valve to
open. Air is admitted into the Integrated Isolation Valve causing it to close very quickly.
This isolates the vacuum system from the pump, while the pressure differential between
the outside atmosphere (inside the pump) and the vacuum system provides the force
necessary to maintain the valve in its closed position without electric or pneumatic power.

Torr, is typically less

DRAFT 8/22/13

21

IDP-15 Dry Scroll Vacuum Pump

With the vacuum system isolated, a very small orifice admits air from the inside the pump
to the lower chamber of the Integrated Isolation Valve until its pressure has risen to
atmospheric pressure. When the pump is restarted, it starts to evacuate the valve's lower
chamber volume first until the pressure is lowered to approximately that of the vacuum
system. At that moment the spring activated diaphragm automatically opens again (with a
10 sec delay to avoid back burst in the vacuum system) allowing the vacuum system to
be pumped at the full speed of the pump.

Kits and Service Options

Agilent pumps will provide many years of trouble-free service if the maintenance
procedures and intervals are observed. Cleaning and tip seal replacement are
recommended when pump base pressure has risen to an unacceptably high level for your
application. If your pump exhibits humming or grinding noises from the bearings, a major
overhaul should be done by Agilent personnel or an authorized rebuild center. Advance
exchange pumps are available to minimize downtime.

Tip Seal Replacement

1.Remove the new tip seal from the kit.The tip

seal is supplied in one length, sufficient to
create a short and a long segment for the
orbiting plate and the outboard housing (four
segments total).The tip seal cross section is
rectangular.The width is less than the height.

2.Install each tip seal segment, starting at the

inside so the 1/8” gap occurs at the end. Use a
flat wooden or plastic tool to press each
segment into its lock (red arrow). Each
segment has a lock (four total). Clean away
any tip seal debris generated when pressed
into each lock.

3.Cut each tip seal segment to a length that

leaves an 1/8” gap at the end.

4.Lightly lubricate the O-ring with a trace of

vacuum grease. Use the Krytox 224 grease
supplied with the kit. Krytox LVP or Apezion L
can be substituted. Do not use vacuum grease
containing silicone.

IDP-15 Reassembly

IDP-15 Dry Scroll Vacuum Pump

1. Align the outboard housing with the

orbiting plate using the pin and pin
alignment hole shown by the red arrows.
Ensure that the tip seals and O-ring do not
get pinched or misaligned.

2. Reinstall the six screws and tighten.

3. Reinstall the console by swinging it back

and aligning it with the body slots as
shown.

4. Place the bracket against the electrical tray

and align the bracket slots with the tapped
holes in the tray.

5. Plug the red/black fan connector together.

6. Align fan cowling by wiggling it over the

exhaust port. Replace and tighten the four
fan cowling screws.

7. Replace the two screws at the bottom of

the fan cowling. Lift and hold the bracket
while tightening these screws.

8. Reinstall the power cord.

To test the pump:

1. Run the pump for about 5 seconds. Verify that the front fan is running.

If you hear loud noises or observe labored operation, this indicates that the tip seal or main
O-ring are possibly out of place.

2. Disassemble and repair as necessary.
