Mobil Vacuum Pump Oil 100 is a premium lubricant, blended from specific high quality white oil with low volatility characteristics, for the lubrication of vacuum pumps. Water vapour is a common contaminant in vacuum systems and tends to condense in pumps, oils separators and reservoirs. Mobil Vacuum Pump Oil 100 has good demulsibility to separate readily from water. This aids water removal and prevents its return to metal surfaces to cause rust and corrosion. Triple-distilled oil goes through yet another molecular distillation process and is devoid of sulfur or other impurities. This oil is chemically inert and is highly resistant to oxidation and reactance to other gases. Triple-distilled pump oil is transparent and is designed for an ultimate vacuum of 0.6 microns (6 x 10 -4 torr). As soon as there is a notable difference from its original clear state is a good time to change your oil. The signs above of contaminated vacuum pump oil help you determine whether your vacuum pump oil has altered its ability to keep its designed viscosity or its vapor pressure for maximum efficiency. Yes, vacuum pump oil can be recycled, but it requires specialised equipment and processes to remove contaminants and restore the oil's performance properties.

Vacuum pump oil is a substance inside the pump that lubricates the pumping apparatus while also collecting moisture and contaminants from evacuated systems. Simply put, it’s what keeps the pump pumping. That is why changing oil as soon as it needs to be changed is critical. Vacuum pump oil recycling is typically done by specialised oil recycling companies, who use equipment and processes to separate the oil from contaminants and restore its properties. This process can help extend the life of the oil and reduce waste and environmental impact by reducing the need for disposal of used oil.Compressor oil is designed to resist oxidation, maintain viscosity under high temperatures, and provide excellent lubrication under high pressure. It typically contains additives to prevent rust and corrosion in the compressor system. The podcast concludes with a reminder that extensive training content on HVAC topics like this is available through HVAC School and other industry experts. Continuing education and an open, collaborative mindset are important for professional growth. When the vacuum pump is not reaching the desired vacuum level. This is best tested with a vacuum gauge placed directly on the pump. Know your pump, know your oil. The performance and ultimate vacuum of your pump demand that you keep the correctly designed pump oil in its vanes… see what I did there?

Oil” is a bit of a misnomer because modern pump oil technology has evolved well beyond the original distilled petroleum products. Also consider whether an oil-free or diaphragm pump would be better for applications involving low volumes, degassing, gas transfer and sampling, or else a lubricated pump for high capacity, high vacuum performance. Most HVAC application vacuum pumps are rotary vane pumps in a single- or double-stage design. A vacuum pump moves vapor molecules out of the system, working in and out of the pump through the vacuum pump oil itself. That process makes the vacuum pump oil one of the most critical variables in the evacuation process.A key difference with 90% furnaces is the addition of a secondary heat exchanger that extracts more heat from the exhaust gases before they go out the flue. This allows the furnace to achieve at least 90% efficiency. The condensing of water vapor in the exhaust also releases latent heat. However, the acidic condensate must be properly drained, and pipes must be corrosion-resistant. Proper airflow is also critical. Fisher Scientific vacuum pumps combine high tech materials with outstanding engineering. They are designed for most laboratory applications, both routine and research. When choosing a vacuum pump, consider your application type, sample composition and operating parameters.
