Introduction
1.2 Description
The CDX and IDX pumps are rugged, reliable dry vacuum pumps designed specifically for use in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, and in industrial processing applications.
The CDX and IDX pumps are single stage pumps which use the screw principle, in which a pair of intermeshing, non­contacting rotors are held in correct phase relation by a pair of timing-gears. The gears and the double-row angular contact ball bearings are oil lubricated.
The double-ended design means that the bearings, seals and gearbox remain at atmospheric pressure, and that axial loading on the bearings is minimal.
1.3 Shaft-seals purge system
Refer to Figure 1, 2 and 3, detail C. The shaft-seals purge pipelines (24) deliver an air or nitrogen purge to the shaft- seals. This purge:
Ensures that the shaft-seals are maintained at a positive pressure during pump operation.
Prevents the entry of corrosive or toxic process vapours into the pump gearbox.
Prevents contamination of t he process gases by pump oil.
Prevents damage to the shaft-seals by debris.
Note: Accessory kits are available to provide gas ballast, inlet and exhaust purge facilities on the pump: refer
to Section 7.4.
1.4 Air bleed - IDX1300 only
CAUTION
Blockage of the air bleed intake and/or the filter element will lead to seizure of the pump.
Refer to Figure 2. The IDX1300 is fitted with a permanent atmospheric air bleed at each end of the pump.
Refer to Section 5.16 for details of how to clean/replace the filter element.
1.5 Temperature control system
Refer to Figure 1, 2 and 3. The CDX and IDX pumps have an indirect cooling system. A coolant circulation pump (driven by the vacuum pump mechanism) circulates secondary coolant, in a closed loop, through jackets around the pump body, and through oil coolers. A heat exchanger in the circuit transfers heat to the primary coolant (that is, cooling water).
The primary coolant supply passes through a filter (Figure 12, item 20).
In operation, the pump is maintained at a constant temperature by a thermostatic control-valve (TCV, 17) which controls the supply of primary coolant (cooling water) to the heat exchanger.
The heat exchanger has a pressure cap and a coolant overflow pipe (Figure 7, item 4). As the temperature of the pump body increases, and the secondary coolant expands, excess coolant may be discharged from this pipe.
Two positive displacement oil pumps located in the gearbox and the end cover circulate oil (through a filter) to cool and control the temperature of the rotors, and to lubricate the bearings and gears.
The oil circulates through oil coolers (10, 22). The oil coolers are plate heat exchangers, in which heat is transferred from the oil to the secondary coolant.
Each oil circuit is also fitted with a pressure switch (IDX) or transmitter (CDX) to protect against loss of oil supply.

Introduction
A708-01-880 Issue E
Refer to Figure 1. IDX pumps have a thermal snap-switch box (9) on the end cover which contains two thermal snap-switches and a pressure switch (32) attached to the oil supply pipe at each end:
Connect the shut-down thermal snap-switch to a suitable control circuit to shut down the pump if it
overheats: refer to Section 3.7.
Connect the two pressure switches to a suitable control circuit to shut the pump down if either of the oil
circuits loses pressure. This is most easily done by wiring them in series. The shut-down thermal snap switch can be wired in series with the two pressure switches to shut down the pump if any one of the three switches trip.
Connect the warning thermal snap-switch to the control equipment to provide an indication that the pump is
too hot: refer to Section 3.7.
Refer to Figure 3. CDX pumps have a temperature sensor (9) fitted to the end cover and a pressure transmitter (32) attached to the oil supply pipe at each end. Connect these sensors to a suitable control circuit, in order to shut down the pump if it overheats or if either of the oil circuits loses pressure, refer to Section 3.6.
1.6 Drive coupling operation
The pump has a flexible drive coupling which transmits the drive from the pump motor to the pump rotors.
Refer to Figure 14. A coupling hub (10) is fitted to the pump shaft (14) and a drive hub (19) is fitted to the motor shaft (4). A flexible insert (18) fits between the two hubs.
1.7 Hazardous area and safe area versions of the pump
1.7.1 Safe area (in relation to an external atmosphere)
A safe area is one where there is no possibility of a potentially explosive atmosphere existing, therefore it is not necessary to take special precautions to avoid mechanical or electrical ignition sources.
1.7.2 Hazardous area
A hazardous area (in relation to an external atmosphere) is one where there is the possibility of a potentially explosive atmosphere existing, therefore it is necessa ry t o take spe cial prec aut ions to avoid mechanical or electrical ignition sources.
1.7.3 Pumped gases
Hazardous gases and vapours can be defined as materials that could be one or more of the following:
To xi c
Corrosive
Pyrophoric
Flammables in the flammable range
Oxidants
Flammables below the upper flammability limit.
Pumps that are suitable for pumping hazardous gases and vapours have a leak tightness specification of better than 10
-3
mbar l s.

Introduction
Non hazardous gases and vapours do not constitute a hazard should they leak into the external environment or should the pump develop an inward air leakage, this could include one or more of the following:
Vapo urs
Inert gases
Materials below the lower flammability limit
Non toxic materials
Non corrosive materials.
Pumps that are suitable for pumping non hazardous gases and vapours cannot be guaranteed not to leak small amounts of gas (greater than 10
-3
mbar l s) into or out of the pump, therefore it has to be assumed that there is the
possibility for some pumped gases to be present in the external atmosphere.
Note: Where pumps suitable for non hazardous gases and vapours are used to pump inert gases they should be
located in a well ventilated area in order to avoid the possibility of asphyxiation.

2.10 Coolant
The pump is supplied filled with Edwards coolant which is monopropylene based, and is both an antifreeze and a corrosion inhibitor. Spare Edwards coolant is available: refer to Section 7.3. A Material Safety Data Sheet for the coolant is available on request.
If using another coolant type to replenish lost coolant:
It must prevent the formation of visible oxide sludge and scale deposits.
It must provide frost protection down to a temperature of -14 °C (7 °F), when mixed in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
It must be compatible with the materials of construction of the cooling system; that is: SG iron, copper,
brass, aluminium, stainless steel, rubber (hoses) and fluoroelastomer (Viton) seals.
It must comply with the requirements of BS 6580-1992 and BS 5117.
It must be based on monopropylene glycol or ethylene glycol fluid.
It must not contain amines.
The coolants shown in Table 10 may be suitable for use in the CDX and IDX pumps. All of these coolants are amine free, automotive grade, ethylene glycol antifreezes and must be d i luted to b etw e en 35% t o 50% by v o lume w i th wat er to provide the required cooling protection. However, Edwards recommends the use of Edwards coolant; Edwards cannot guarantee other types of coolant will provide the best corrosion protection for the pump.

3.7 Connect the oil pressure sensors (CDX pumps only)
CAUTION
Ensure to route the pressure sensor cables away from hot surfaces of the pump or other equipment. If not, the cable may be damaged.
The pressure sensors measure the oil pressure in the supply pipes. Connect the output of the sensors to a suitable control circuit to shut down the pump when either of the sensors detects a loss of pressure.
Set the control circuit trip setpoint (that is, the pressure setpoint at which the control circuit will shut down the pump) to 0.3 barg (5 psig).
Note: Incorporate a suitable time delay in the signal in the control circuit to allow the pump to start, as initially
there is low oil pressure until the pump attains full rotational speed. The amount of delay will depend on the ramp-up time set on the VFD.
3.8 Connect the thermal snap-switches (IDX pumps only)
CAUTION
Ensure that the thermal snap-switch cable is routed away from hot surfaces of the pump or other equipment. If not, the cable may be damaged.
If required, connect the output of the warning thermal snap-switch to the control equipment to provide an indication that the pump is too hot.
Connect the output of the shut-down thermal snap-switch so that the pump is automatically switched off when it is too hot.
The thermal snap-switches will reset (that is, close again) when the pump cools down to a preset temperature (see
Section 2.8). Edwards recommends that the control equipment incorporates a manual reset device so that the pump
does not automatically switch on after it cools down.
Use the following procedure to connect to the thermal snap-switches. If connecting to the thermal snap-switches as described in this Section, the outputs from the thermal snap-switches will be normally closed and will open when the pump is too hot.
WARNING
Connect the oil pressure sensors to a suitable control circuit to shut down the pump when the oil pressure drops. If not, the system will not be ATEX compliant (if applicable), damage to the pump can result, and there may be a risk of explosion or fire.
WARNING
Connect the shut-down thermal snap-switch so that the pum p sto ps w hen t he th erm al sn ap- swit ch opens. This must be independent of the oil pressure switches so th at if the thermal sn ap switch o r either of the oil pressure switches open, the pump will be shut down. If not, a fire may result.
WARNING
Incorporate a manual reset device in the control equipment. If not (and a fault which causes the shut-down thermal snap-switch to open is not corrected), the pump will automatically switch on again when it cools down. If maintenance or fault finding has been started on the pump, there will then be a risk of injury to people.

3.9 Connect the oil pressure switches (IDX pumps only)
CAUTION
Ensure to route the thermal snap-switch cable away from hot surfaces of the pump or other equipment. If not, the cable may be damaged.
Connect the output of each oil pressure switch so that the pump is automatically switched off if the oil supply at either end fails.
Note: Incorporate a suitable time delay in the signal of the control circuit to allow the pump to start, as initially
there is low oil pressure until the pump attains full rotational speed. The amount of delay will depend on the ramp-up time set on the VFD.
Alternatively a time delay relay can be incorporated in the control circuit.
3.10 Pump motor electrical connections
3.10.1 Introduction
Make the electrical connections to the pump motor as described in the following sections.
Edwards recommends connecting the electrical supply to the pump motor through a suitable current monitor, and configuring the high current setting on the current monitor to switch off the pump motor at a suitable overload
WARNING
Connect the oil pressure switches so that the pump stops when either of the switches or the thermal snap switch opens. If not, a fire may result.
WARNING
Ensure that the electrical installation of the pump conforms to local and national safety requirements. It must be connected to a suitably fused and protected electrical supply and a suitable earth (ground) point.
WARNING
Use suitable flameproof cable glands to connect the electrical supply and control cables to the pump motor of CDX pumps. If not, the installation will not be flameproof.
WARNING
If the CDX pump is part of an ATEX system, refer to the ATEX system instruction manual before making any of the electrical connections. There may be additional electrical requirements mandated by the ATEX Directive.
WARNING
Incorporate a manual reset device in the pump electrical supply circuit. If not, and a fault condition causes a transient failure of the electrical supply, the pump will automatically switch on again when the electrical supply is restored. If maintenance or fault finding has been started on the pump, there will then be a risk of injury to people.

3.11 Connect the pump to earth (ground)
1. Refer to Figure 1, 2 or 3, detail E. Connect one end of a suitable earth (ground) conductor to the earth (ground) stud (28).
2. Connect the other end of the conductor to a suitable earth (ground) point in the installation.
3.12 Check the direction of pump rotation
Note: The pump must be heated to at least +5 °C (41 °F) before starting or rotating the pump.
WARNING
If the CDX pump is part of an ATEX system, it must be powered by an electrical supply at the rated frequency of the pump motor, unless the system is specifically designed to operate with a variable speed drive. If this is the case, consult the ATEX system instruction manual.
WARNING
Connect the pump motor thermistor outputs to a suitable control circuit to isolate the electrical supply when the pump motor overheats. If not, the pump can be damaged, and there may be a risk of explosion or fire.
WARNING
Incorporate a manual reset device in the control equipment. If not (and a fault which causes the thermistors to shut down the pump is not corrected), the pump will automatically switch on again when the motor windings cool down. If maintenance or fault finding has started on the pump, there will then be a risk of injury to people.
WARNING
Connect the pump earth (ground) stud to a suitable earth (ground) point. If not, static electricity build-up might provide a source of ignition, and lead to explosion or fire.

Installation
A708-01-880 Issue E
CAUTION
If operating a CDX pump with an oil temperature (measured on the end cover) higher than 95 °C (203 °F), use a nitrogen shaft-seals purge. If not, the shaft-seals may be damaged during operation.
Use a rigid metal (such as stainless steel) pipeline with an outside diameter of ¼ inch for the nitrogen or compressed dry air supply. If an acoustic enclosure will be fitted, ensure that the pipeline will not obstruct the enclosure.
Edwards recommends installing an automatically operated isolation valve in the gas supply pipeline configured so that:
The shaft-seals purge gas supply is on whenever the pump is on.
The shaft-seals purge gas supply remains on for a period of at least 30 minutes after the pump is stopped.
Refer to Figure 1, 2 or 3, detail C and use the following procedure to connect the shaft-seals purge gas supply:
1. Remove the red blanking cap from the shaft-seals purge inlet (25)
2. Connect the gas supply pipeline to the inlet.
3.15 Connect the pump inlet and outlet
Note: If the CDX pump is part of an ATEX system, refer to the ATEX system instruction manual for further
information when connecting the pump inlet and outlet.
Where there is a risk that corrosive or dangerous condensates may form inside the pumping system, Edwards recommends fitting suitable heaters to the inlet and outlet pipelines. If necessary, contact Edwards or the supplier for advice.
3.15.1 Connect the pump to the process system
Note: Flame arrestors are available as accessories: refer to Section 7.4.
When connecting the pump to the process system:
Support process pipelines to stop the transmission of stress to pipeline joints.
The pump must be able to be isolated from the atmosphere and process system if pumping or producing
dangerous chemicals.
To g et t he b es t p um pi n g sp ee d , en su r e th at t he p ip e li n e which connects the process system to the pump is as
short as possible and has an internal diameter not less than the pump inlet.
WARNING
Take all necessary safety precautions when pumping toxic, flammable or explosive gases. If not, there will be a danger of injury or death to people.
WARNING
Ensure that the system can provide adequate gas ballast and/or inlet purge to dilute toxic gases to safe limits. If not, there will be a risk of emission of dangerous gases.
WARNING
If pumping flammable and explosive gases, use a CDX flame-proof pump (use a pump with integral flame arrestors, or fit external flame arrestors) and ensure that the system can provide adequate gas ballast and/or inlet purge to dilute the gases to safe levels. If not, there may be a danger of fire or explosion.
A708-01-880 Issue E

Installation
Use a flexible connection in the pipeline from the process system to the pump to reduce vibration and stress
in the system pipelines.
Use the following procedure to connect the pump inlet to the process system. Do not allow debris to get into the pump during installation. Refer to Figure 1, 2 or 3.
1. As supplied, both IDX pumps and CDX pumps without flame arrestors have an inlet filter in the pump inlet (6):
If installing the pump in a new process system, leave the filter in the pump inlet to prevent the entry of weld
particles or other debris into the pump. Remove the filter in Section 5.6.
If installing the pump in an existing process system which does not contain any debris that could damage the
pump, remove the filter from the pump inlet.
2. Use suitable bolts to connect the pump inlet (6) to the process system. Use a suitable PTFE gasket to seal the connection. Edwards recommends using the gasket type specified in Section 2.9.
3.15.2 Connect the pump outlet
CAUTION
Install an outlet catchpot to prevent the drainage of condensate back into the pump. If not, condensate which drains back into the pump may damage it or cause it to seize.
Use suitable bolts to connect the pump outlet (Figure 1, 2 or 3, item 16) to the exhaust system. Use a suitable PTFE gasket to seal the connection. Edwards recommends using the gasket type specified in Section 2.9.
The exhaust pipeline system must be designed so that the pressure in the pipeline during pump operation is less than
1.15 bar absolute (1.15 x 10
5
Pa, 16.7 psi) for the CDX/IDX1000 and less than 1.05 bar absolute (1.05 x 105 Pa,
15.25 psi) for the IDX1300. If the pressure in the pipeline is higher than t his press ure, the p ump will oper ate at a hi gh
temperature and may trip (because of excessive electrical current consumption) or seize.
Support the exhaust pipelines to prevent the transmission of stress to the pipeline coupling-joints.
If using flexible bellows, ensure bellows which have a maximum pressure rating which is greater than the highest pressure that can be generated in the system are used.
WARNING
Connect the pump outlet to a suitable exhaust treatment plant, to prevent the discharge of dangerous gases and vapours into the surrounding atmosphere.
WARNING
Incorporate safety devices to prevent operation of the pump when the exhaust pipeline is restricted or blocked. If not, the exhaust pipeline may become over-pressurised and may burst.
WARNING
For ATEX pumps only. Install the pump outlet in such a way so that a backflow of pumped media is reliably prevented after the pump has been switched off. If an inlet valve is fitted to the inlet of the vacuum pump, it will prevent backflow of pumped media when the pump is shut down.

Operation
A708-01-880 Issue E
4 Operation
4.1 Operational safety
The procedures in the following sections assume that there is a pump inlet isolation valve fitted to the pump.
WARNING
The CDX pump is suitable for handling flammable vapours from gas groups IIA, IIB3 and IIB within temperature classifications T1, T2, T3 and T4, depending on the flame arrestor configuration fitted. If in any doubt, contact Edwards for advice.
WARNING
If the CDX pump is part of an ATEX Category 1 system, or part of any system which handles flammable gases in their flammable range, the shaft-seals purge is safety critical, and ensure the purge supply cannot be interrupted during operation. Refer to the ATEX system instruction manual for further details.
WARNING
If the CDX pump is part of an ATEX system, a pump case tempe rat ure limit wi ll have be en specif ied for normal pump operation. (Refer to the ATEX syst em instru ction manual for details.) Ensure that the pump case temperature is maintained below this limit, otherwise the pump will be switched off by the ATEX control system.
WARNING
During operation, parts of the pump can become very hot. Under abnormal conditions, the temperature of the pump body can reach 115 °C (239 °F). Do not touch the pump.
WARNING
Do not operate the pump with a coupling cover removed. If so, there will be a danger of injury or death from the rotating mechanisms.
WARNING
Do not operate the pump with the pump inlet or pump outlet open to atmosphere. If so, there will be a danger of injury or death from the rotating mechanisms, from the exposure to vacuum or to toxic gases, from explosive gases, or from hot exhaust gases.
WARNING
Take all necessary safety precautions when pumping toxic, flammable or explosive gases. If not, there will be a danger of injury or death to people.
WARNING
Do not expose any part of the body to vacuum. If so, there will be danger of injury.

Operation
4.2 ATEX system control
If the CDX pump is part of an ATEX system, use the predefined procedures in the ATEX system instruction manual to:
Start up the system.
Allow the pump to warm up.
Shut down the system.
4.3 Non-ATEX system control
4.3.1 Start the pump
1. Use the procedure below to start the pump.
2. Refer to Figure 7. Look at the level of coolant in the coolant level sight-glass (3). If the coolant level is below the minimum level, refill the pump with coolant: refer to Section 5.5.
3. Check the gearbox oil level: refer to Section 3.5.1.
4. Check the end cover oil level: refer to Section 3.5.2.
5. Turn on the cooling water supply, shaft-seals purge gas supply and exhaust extraction system (if fitted).
6. Check that the pressure of the shaft-seals purge gas supply is correct and adjust if necessary.
7. Switch on the pump.
Note: The pump must be heated to at least +5 °C (41 °F) before starting or rotating the pump.
4.3.2 Allow the pump to warm up
CAUTION
Allow the pump to warm up and use full gas inlet purge and gas ballast (if fitted) before pumping condensable vapours. If not, the vapours may condense in the pump and corrode or damage the pump.
Leave the pump to operate (with the inlet isolation-valve closed) to allow the pump to warm up to its operating temperature.
Without inlet purge, warm-up takes approximately 90 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature.
When the pump has warmed up to its operating temperature, start process pumping.
In the first 30 seconds of pumpdown, open the inlet isolation valve slowly if there is liquid in the inlet pipeline, in order to minimize the ingress of liquid (entrained in the process gas stream) into the pump.
WARNING
During pump warm-up, coolant may drain out of the coolant overflow pipe. Take all necessary precautions if this may present a hazard.

A708-01-880 Issue E
4.3.3 Shut down the pump
CAUTION
If the pump is operating in an ambient temperature between -20 and -5 °C (-4 and 23 °F), Edwards recommends that the pump is never shut down, other than for maintenance. If doubts about this, contact Edwards for advice.
CAUTION
Purge the pump before shutting it down. If not, process vapours may condense in the pump and corrode or damage the pump.
Note: If the pump will be shut down for a long time in an environment where the temperature is close to freezing,
Edwards recommends draining the cooling water from the pump to prevent damage to the pump: refer to
Section 6.1.
1. Isolate the pump inlet from the process gases.
2. Purge the pump of contaminants and potentially damaging vapours. Use one of the following methods:
Operate the pump for at least 45 minutes.
Operate the pump at or close to atmospheric pressure for at least 15 minutes.
Operate the pump with full inlet purge (if fitted) for at least 15 minutes.
Operate the pump with full gas ballast (if fitted) for at least 15 minutes.
3. Switch off the pump.
4. When the pump has cooled down, turn off the cooling water supply and the shaft-seals purge gas supply.

5.1 Safety information
A suitably trained and supervised technician must maintain the pump.
Ensure that the pump is stationary before carrying out any maintenance.
Ensure that the pump is located in a well lit area with sufficient space around it to allow maintenance to be
carried out safely.
Ensure that the installation technician is familiar with the safety procedures that relate to the products
handled by the pumping system. Wear the appropriate safety clothing when coming into contact with contaminated components. Dismantle and clean contaminated components inside a fume cupboard.
Use suitable lifting equipment and wear safety shoes when replacing the pump motor.
Leave the pump to cool to a safe temperature (see Tab le 1 ) before starting maintenance work.
Isolate the pump and other components in the process system from the electrical supply so that they cannot
be operated accidentally.
Recheck the pump rotation direction if the electrical supply has b een disconnected.
Do not reuse O-rings or gaskets.
Protect sealing-faces from damage.
Do not touch or inhale the thermal breakdown products of fluorinated materials which may be present if the
pump has overheated to 260 °C (500 °F) and above. These breakdown products are very dangerous. The pump may have overheated if it was misused, if it malfunctioned, or if it was in a fire. Edwards Safety Data Sheets for the fluorinated materials used in the pump are available on request: contact the supplier or Edwards.
Leak-test the system after maintenance work is complete and seal any leaks found to prevent leakage of
dangerous substances out of the system and leakage of air into the system: refer to Section 3.16.
5.2 Maintenance plan
WARNING
Obey the safety instructions in this Section and take note of appropriate precautions. Failure to observe these instructions may result in injury to people and damage to equipment.
WARNING
If the pump is certified for II C external operation, only wipe the outside of the pump with a damp cloth.
WARNING
If the CDX pump is part of an ATEX system, maintain the pump using the schedule given in Table 15 and as described in Sections 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 5.10, 5.11, 5.12, 5.13, 5.14, 5.15 and 5.16 of this manual, for the ATEX certification to remain valid.
WARNING

Maintenance
The plan in Table 15 (page 49) details the maintenance operations that must be carried out for CDX pumps which are part of an ATEX system, and the maintenance operations Edwards recommends to maintain non-ATEX CDX pumps and IDX pumps in normal operation. Instructions for each operation are given in the section shown.
In practice, the frequency of maintenance of IDX and non-ATEX pumps is dependent on the process. In clean processes, the frequency of maintenance operations can be decreased; in harsh processes, the frequency of maintenance operations may have to increase. Adjust the maintenance plan for IDX and non-ATEX pumps according to experience.
When maintaining the pump, use Edwards maintenance and service kits. These contain all of the seals and other components necessary to complete maintenance operations successfully. The Item Numbers of these kits are given in Section 7.3.
5.3 Check the oil levels
Note: If pouring oil into the gearbox or end cover frequently, or if there is a sudden loss of a large amount of oil,
this may indicate that the pump has a fault. In these circumstances, Edwards recommends shutting down the pump as soon as possible and contact the supplier or Edwards for advice.
5.3.1 Check the gearbox oil level
Figure 1, 2 and 3 show the locations of the two gearbox oil level sight-glasses (18).
1. Refer to detail D. With the pump running, check that the pump gearbox oil level is between the MIN and MAX mark on the bezel (26) of either of the two oil level sight-glasses. If the oil level is below the MAX mark, continue at Step 2, otherwise continue at Section 5.3.2.
2. If the pump is operating, shut down the pump: (refer to Section 4) and allow the pump to cool.
3. Remove the gearbox oil filler plug and bonded seal (4): see Warning above.
4. Fit a suitable funnel or nozzle to the oil filler port, then pour oil into the pump gearbox until the oil level fills the oil level sight-glass (see detail D).
