Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)​​

1: Is the VT4.16 suitable for high-humidity environments?​​

Yes, but prolonged exposure to moisture may affect longevity. Consider gas pre-conditioning if operating in humid conditions.

2: How can I reduce operating noise?​​

Operate at 50 Hz (61 dB) instead of 60 Hz (64 dB). Secure mounting and anti-vibration pads also help minimize noise.

3: What is the maintenance interval?​​

Every 1,000–2,000 operating hours (or annually), inspect rotor clearances, bearings, and seals.

4: Can it run in high-altitude areas?​​

Possible but performance may vary; adjust settings based on local atmospheric pressure.

5: What causes vibration in the VT4.16?​​

Common causes include debris inside, worn bearings, or unstable mounting—inspect and replace parts as needed.

6: Does suction efficiency decrease over time?​​

Generally stable if properly maintained, but rotor wear (leading to gap enlargement) may slightly reduce efficiency over years.

7: How does it handle different gases?​​

Performs well with most gases, but is less efficient with hydrogen​due to lower compression ratio.

8: Will power consumption fluctuate?​​

Minor variations occur with pressure changes, but the pump operates within a stable power range (0.55–0.70 kW).​​

9: Can it be integrated with other machines?​​

Yes! Its compact design and stable suction make it easy to integrate into automation systems.

10: What’s the key limitation of the VT4.16?​​

Low compression ratioreduces efficiency for light gases like hydrogen, but it excels in most industrial vacuum applications.
