Technical Information
The recommended lubricating oil is the Agilent AVF Platinum oil. The AVF Platinum
oil is a general-purpose mechanical pump fluid specifically engineered to provide
superior performance in high speed direct drive mechanical pumps.
AVF Platinum is formulated using premium polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic base
fluid, coupled with an unparalleled high-performance additive package.
This vacuum pump lubricant features superior thermal and oxidation stability
enabling it to operate over a wide range of temperatures without coking, deposit
formation, or corrosion.
The lubricant has low volatility and compatibility with mineral oil lubricants.
Corrosion protection, low pour point and excellent oxidative stability ensure that the
use of this lubricant over a wide range of applications and systems will result in a
long, trouble-free and uninterrupted service interval. AVF Platinum is specifically
advantageous in pump operating within harsh chemical environments, particularly
with sour gas (hydrogen sulphide present) applications, due to their robustness of
formulation and cleanliness of operation.
The pump must be operated only with AVF Platinum vacuum fluid. Use of any
CAUTION
other oil (even a topping up) will void the warranty.
To avoid the risk of contaminating the oil, absolute cleanliness of the pump and
CAUTION
surrounding area must be ensured during the lubrication procedures.
