About this file

This is a Source Evaluation Data document for a surgical vacuum system at the VA Puget Sound Health Care System, dated 20 May 2024. The document provides a comprehensive inspection and compliance assessment of the vacuum pump equipment located in the Energy Plant area serving Facility/Building 100.

The system utilizes a Rogers/KRVP Series unit (Model KRVP-30-VAC, Serial 23H6528852) with a Rogers pump (Model KRVP-30, Serial H652885223) operating at 274 CFM and 460 volts. The vacuum main line pressure is 20.7"HG with a gauge range of 0-30HG. The lead pump activates at 19.8"HG and deactivates at 24"HG, while the lag pump operates at 17"HG on and 22"HG off. The evaluation confirms compliance across 18 major assessment categories with substantially all requirements marked as "Yes," including: dual pump configuration with check valves and isolation valves; adequate receiver with ASME data plate and manual drain; automatic activation of additional units with local audible/visual signals wired to master alarm panels; automatic pump alternation; dedicated disconnect switches and motor starting devices; power supply from the essential electrical system; outdoor exhaust location at least 10 feet from building openings with trapped drip leg and valved drain; hard-drawn copper distribution piping with appropriate labeling; line vacuum low switch connected to master alarm panels on the patient side of the main valve; and demand check fitting with gas-specific configuration. Technical support is available at 503-639-6151. The document contains a Comments section at the conclusion.

Yes No N/A ☐ ☐ ☒ 1. Is the data on this sheet for the following source(s): LEAD & LAG?

☒ ☐ ☐ 2. Is the entire area Facility served by this source?

☒ ☐ ☐ 3. Is the room adequately vented to prevent accumulation of heat per manufacturers’ recommendation?

☒ ☐ ☐ 4. Are there two or more pumps?

☒ ☐ ☐ 5. Does each pump have a check valve to prevent backflow through off-cycle units?

☒ ☐ ☐ 6. Does each pump have isolation valves on intake piping?

☒ ☐ ☐ 7. Does each pump have isolation valves (or equivalent) on exhaust piping? NOTE: If the answer is no, a tube cap can be used when pumps are removed from service.

☒ ☐ ☐ 8. Is there sufficient flexible couplings installed in the piping to and from the equipment?
