BÜCHI Vac V-511/512/5133 Function
3 Function
3.1 General
The system V-511 consists of a PTFE diaphragm pump and
an integrated additional condenser, without the Vacuum Controller V-800. This system runs in continuous operation with
the main switch turned on.
The systems V-512 and V-513, with the integrated Vacuum
Controller V-800, create and regulate a vacuum and maintain
it at a constant level by automatically compensating for any
loss of vacuum in the evacuated device and returning it to the
selected set pressure. This is accomplished by turning the integrated PTFE diaphragm pump on and off directly.
The vacuum, which is selected according to the solvent (cf.
Page 27), permits almost 100% condensation in the condenser
of the distillation apparatus. The result is a massive reduction
in solvent emissions. The integrated additional condenser assures that any solvent vapors which might have been suctioned off will be condensed out to the physical limit following the
pump.
In addition, the cooling water can be controlled during distillation. This can be handled by the cooling water valve, which is
available as an option. Up to 95% of the water can be saved
with this device.
Additional functions are
• Automatic performance of distillations until dry, if this is physically possible without a loss of solvents (씮 redistillation!)
• Automatic continued distillation until completion of a distillation which has been started manually (e.g., with a mixture
of problematic solvent mixtures)

BÜCHI Vac V-511/512/5134 Beginning Operation
4 Beginning Operation
4.1 General
Please check all parts for damage when unpacking. It is important that any transport damage be discovered when the parts
are unpacked. If necessary, a record of the condition of the
parts should be made immediately (report to postal service,
railway service, or shipping company).
Keep the original packaging for the event of a later transport.
4.1.1 Placement
The apparatus must be set up on a stable, clean, and level surface. The surrounding temperature may not exceed 40° C.
Proper air circulation is necessary.
The apparatus must be placed at a minimum of 20 cm from
walls and other objects in order to prevent damage. Containers, chemicals, or other apparatus may not be placed behind
the pump.
4.1.2 Electrical Connections
Ensure that the electric current available from the location’s
outlets is the same voltage as that indicated by the label on
the apparatus. The apparatus must always be connected to
a grounded outlet. External couplings and extension cords
must have a protective conductor (3-pin couplings, cables, or
plug and socket connections). There must be no break in any
part of the protective conductor. This will avoid risks resulting
from internal defects.
Connect the pump to the power source with the enclosed
cable.
4.1.3 Hose Connections
• Please be sure that none of the hoses are bent closed
(bends, the apparatus is resting on the hose).
• Replace brittle hoses.
• The hoses should be secured with standard hose clamps
or cable binders for safety. The hoses in the apparatus itself have already been secured by the factory.
• The apparatus must never be put into operation without
an exhaust hose. The exhaust hose must not be pointed
towards hot objects or towards objects which produce
sparks. The exhaust hose must end in a fume hood so
that none of the vapors from the solvents can be released
in the room.

Removing valve unit, collecting tank and condenser
Turn off the apparatus before beginning work.
The collecting tank and the Woulff-bottle should be checked
regularly for possible contents. If any substances have been
collected in these containers, they must be emptied. To do
this, the valve unit must be removed from its holder. The collecting tank or Woulff-bottle can then be removed by twisting
it counterclockwise a quarter-turn. This is also a good opportunity to check the gasket for damage. The top of the housing
must be unscrewed if the condenser must be removed. The
condenser can then also be removed by turning it clockwise
a quarter-turn. However, the hoses must first be disconnected
from the condenser.

BÜCHI Vac V-511/512/513 6 Maintenance
6 Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
Valve head
If the end vacuum of the pump can not be reached the
problem is often caused by stuck valve plates. To clean them
do the following steps:
1) remove all of the connections to the pump and the sound
absorber
2) switch the pump on
3) inject a small amount of about max. 10 ml at one time of
acetone at the inlet side of the pump and wait till the pump
makes the same sound as before injecting the solvent.
The injection should only be done with safety washing bottles
as seen on the picture.
4) Repeat point 3) four to five times
5) Leave the pump running for about 2 minutes and check
then if the end vacuum can be reached.
6) If the end vacuum can not be reached after this cleaning
procedure, repeat it again before going on with Chapter
6.2.
Housing
Before cleaning, please disconnect the apparatus from the
power source.
The housing is made of plastic. Drops of acid must be wiped
away immediately with a damp cloth. Using organic solutions
for cleaning (exception: ethanol) can cause damage and is
not allowed.
Glass parts can be rinsed out with standard cleaning agents
(e.g., mild soap solutions). After they have been cleaned and
dried thoroughly, they must be examined visually for splintered
places or cracks. As the valve unit is in a vacuum during operation, this examination must be carried out conscientiously.
Hoses and gaskets must also be examined visually; if cracks
have developed or if they have become brittle, they must be
replaced with suitable new hoses.
Büchi offers sets of spare parts which make it easier for the
user to obtain spare parts.The necessary articles can be found
in Chapter 8.1, Spare Parts.

BÜCHI Vac V-511/512/513
6.2 Removal and Assembly of the Pump Heads,
Valve Heads and Diaphragms
Under conditions of normal usage, the diaphragms and the
valve plates will rarely require replacement.
If the benchmarks of the function checkup (6.1) are not met,
the pump heads, diaphragms, and valve heads should be
cleaned.
If the pump’s performance does not improve, the valve heads
(38025) and possibly the diaphragms must be replaced
(Spare Parts Set 38120).
Attention: Before replacing the diaphragms, please disconnect
the apparatus from the power source.
The parts of the pump head are delicate. Pay close attention
to ensure that the glass head, the valve head, and the diaphragms are not subjected to mechanical damage. Before
assembly, the parts must be examined for nicks, chips, or
deformation.
6 Maintenance
Page 19

BÜCHI Vac V-511/512/513
Removal and cleaning of valve head
1. Release both of the black hose couplings GL-14 between
the pump heads.
2. Using the allen wrench provided, loosen crosswise with a
quarter-turn each and remove the 4 screws on the valve
head top.
3. Carefully remove the valve head top with the valve head
and glass head.
4. Place the entire part on a soft surface. The glass head
can now be removed by applying light pressure to the
valve head.
The valve head, glass head, and diaphragms can now be
cleaned with a suitable cleansing agent (e.g., acetone), or
defective parts can be replaced. The valves of the valve head
can be cleaned by putting the whole valve head into an acetone
bath. If they are still contaminated, use an ultrasonic bath.
Avoid hitting the sides and edges of the glass head. A glass
head which has been dropped may not suffer any apparent
damage, but could break if used again!
Removal of the diaphragms
Only remove the diaphragms if they are broken or can not be
cleaned in a mounted way. They can be released by turning
them counterclockwise.
Replacement of the diaphragms
Before you replace the diaphragm make sure, that the
diaphragm holder fits tight on the lower side of the diaphragm.
There must be no
gap between holder and diaphragm
The diaphragm and the diaphragm holder can then carefully
be screwed on and tightened by hand with the same force as
your have needed to detache it before! Check again if there is
no
gap between diaphragm and holder after replacing the
diaphragm.
6 Maintenance
Page 20

BÜCHI Vac V-511/512/5136 Maintenance
Replacement of the pump head and assembling
1. Before replacing the valve head check if the valves are
not stuck together by holding the head between two fingers.
You should hear a soft clicking while shaking it carefully.
2. Place the valve head into the valve head top. Check if the
rubber sealing is symmetrical placed in the metal part of
the valve head top. Then snap the glass head into the top
so that the knobs on the glass head fit into the spaces on
the valve head. Place the assembled pump head on the
diaphragms.
Pay careful attention to the arrows on the upper part of the
valve heads. They must point in the same direction on both
pump heads.
3. Place the setting gauge side number 1 between the metal
top and thread and screw the first screw (a) in so that the
setting gauge can be removed without force. After the
first screw do the same procedure with the screw (b) and
then with the screw (c) and last but not least again with
the screw (d) (Crosswise).
4. If all screws are on the level 1 change to the side 2 of the
setting gauge. Place this side between metal top and
thread and screw the first screw (a) one quarter-turn in.
After this change the setting gauge to screw (b) and screw
this one also a quarter-turn in. Go on with the screw (c)
and (d) in the same way and repeat this procedure till you
can’t remove the setting gauge without force. Loosen the
screw a little bit to take out the setting gauge and leave
the screw on this position.
Hold the short red part of the allen wrench to tighten the
screws, which will provide for the correct tightness.
You should only use screws with a blue spot on the thread.
The blue spot is a Tufloc coating which prevents the screw
from loosening during operation or transportation of the pump.
If you are using a new screw it could be possible that you
need a slightly higher force to screw this in. This doesn’t matter and doesn’t influence the result of your work.

BÜCHI Vac V-511/512/513 6 Maintenance
5. Now connect the connecting hose, tighten the hose connections, and then assemble the second pump head the
same way as the first one.
6. If the vacuum is not achieved, it may be necessary to
replace or clean the valve head seals. To do this, remove
the valve heads as indicated in 6.2. 1-4.
Carefully take the white sealing rings out of the retainer using
the valve reed and place them in an ultrasonic bath (if possible).
Refit the cleaned individual parts or replacement parts as
shown in the diagram.
6.3 Function control
A functional control should be carried out at least once a year
as follows:
Pump:
The suction time for a dry volume of 3 litres at 20 mbar should
not take longer than 60 seconds.
The functional control should also include a regular inspection
of hoses for any brittle areas and leaks.
If the pump does not perform to specification, the pump,
diaphragms and valve heads must be cleaned and replaced,
if necessary.

BÜCHI’s customer service provides the following services:
• Spare parts service
• Repair service
• Maintenance service
• Technical consulting.
6.5. Working with strong acids / bases on Büchi
VAC V-500 – 513
If strong acids or bases are removed with a Vacuum pump,
protecting clothing such as goggles and laboratory coats must
be worn during operation of the device.
If strong acids or bases are distillated we highly recommend
to rinse the pump after the application to increase the lifetime
of the instrument.
That means 5-10 ml of water should be sucked in trough the
pump inlet and collected directly after the pump outlet. This
process should be repeated as long as the pH of the liquids
coming out of the pump outlet, is between 3-9.
After that the pump is been dried, by sucking air through the
pump for 2-3 min.
