High Capacity Dry Vacuum Pump

The subject RFQ is hereby amended to provide answers to the following vendor questions submitted: Question: Is atmospheric gas or other specific gases be moved by this pump? Answer: The pump is used to move atmospheric air only. Question: What level (Torr) will the pump be required to achieve? Answer: The expected minimum pressure achieved is 0.01Torr (1.3e- bar) Question: Will the pump be required to continuously maintain this vacuum level. Answer: Yes, the pump normally maintains vacuum for months at a time in continuous operation. Question: Will the pump be required to cycle from atmospheric pressures to the designated vacuum level over a set time frame? Answer: The vacuum vessel is vented to air for repair of interior components, principally mechanical actuators, two or three times a year. For example, if a motion stalls, we will vent the vessel and troubleshoot the cause, complete the repair, and re-evacuate the vessel. The new pump has a higher pump speed so the evacuation can be done faster.
