WELCH
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about WELCH from 3G Electric.
What is the filtration efficiency of WELCH exhaust filters?
WELCH exhaust filters, such as the 1417P-11 and 1417P-8, are rated for 99.9% filtration efficiency. They are designed to remove oil mist and particulates from vacuum pump exhaust streams. This high efficiency helps maintain a clean work environment and protects downstream equipment. The filters are available in various sizes to match different pump models, ensuring proper fit and performance.
What are the power requirements for WELCH rocking piston pumps?
WELCH rocking piston pumps, including models like the 2546B-01 and 8150B-30, operate on 115V AC single-phase power. This makes them suitable for standard electrical outlets in many industrial and laboratory settings. The pumps are available in different horsepower ratings and flow capacities, but all share the same voltage and phase requirement for ease of installation.
Can WELCH rocking piston pumps be used for both vacuum and compressor applications?
Yes, many WELCH rocking piston pumps are designed for dual service as either vacuum pumps or compressors. For example, the 2546B-01 delivers 1.6 cfm and can produce up to 100 psi continuous pressure, while also providing vacuum. This versatility allows the same pump to be used in different processes, reducing the need for multiple units. However, specific models may have different maximum ratings for vacuum and pressure, so consult the datasheet for exact specifications.
What is the maximum vacuum level achievable with WELCH rocking piston pumps?
WELCH rocking piston pumps can achieve maximum vacuum levels up to 29.8 in Hg, as seen in the 2581B-50 model. Other models like the 8150B-30 reach 26 in Hg. These vacuum levels are suitable for a range of applications including filtration, degassing, and aspiration. The actual vacuum achieved may depend on factors such as altitude, temperature, and system configuration.
How do I select the correct WELCH exhaust filter for my pump?
Selecting the correct WELCH exhaust filter involves matching the filter's dimensions and connection type to your pump's exhaust port. Filters are available in sizes such as 2 1/2-inch and 5-inch outside diameters, with overall heights varying from 2 1/2 inches to 9 1/2 inches. The manufacturer part number (e.g., 1417P-11, 1417P-10) can be cross-referenced with your pump model. 3G Electric provides datasheets and technical support to help identify the right filter.
