The Design of the SuperEvac™
The SuperEvac Pump is a 2-stage rotary vane design
(at right) that increases efficiency and speeds pump
down to 15 microns.
The pump lowers the internal pressure of a refrigeration system until moisture boils into a vapor. As the
moisture is vaporized, it is evacuated by the pump,
helping dehydrate the system. Most technicians try to
achieve between 250 and 1000 microns.
During new system set-up, protective caps are removed admitting moisture and air into system components. If air – a non-condensable – remains in the
system, it collects on the high side reducing system
efficiency. This causes a rise in head pressure. The
discharge valve gets hotter than normal and organic
solids form causing compressor failure.
Moisture in the system can form ice which closes off
openings in expansion valves and cap tubes, and
prevent adequate cooling.
Ultimately moisture and air can produce acids and
sludge which could cause in-warranty failures.
A vacuum pump "pulls" air and moisture out of the
system before the system is damaged. The higher and
more complete the vacuum, the more moisture is
removed. That's why your SuperEvac pump is specifically engineered for high vacuums of 50 microns
and better.
1. Male pipe pump intake. Large hose suggested
for maximum pull down.
2. Gas ballast valve helps remove moisture and
other condensable vapors that have been drawn
into the pump as a result of evacuation. Opening
the ballast allows fresh air to enter the pumping
chamber and keep vapors from combining with
the oil. Vapors escape harmlessly through the

turn the oil milky white and lower pump performance below specifications.
To operate ballast, turn the valve counterclockwise one full turn after evacuation starts.
As the vacuum reading reaches 1000-2000
microns, close the ballast to achieve a deeper
vacuum.
