About this file

This document is an Operation and Maintenance Manual for an Elmo Rietschle 2BH1900-1AK26 Vacuum Pump supplied by McKenna Engineering & Equipment Co., Inc. to Stateline Solutions LLC at Travis Air Force Base, with purchase order number SSLLC0025 dated August 29, 2025. The manual covers a side-channel blower system designed for industrial applications involving vacuum and pressure generation for non-flammable, non-aggressive, non-toxic, and non-explosive gases or gas-air mixtures. The equipment specifications indicate the G-BH1 and G-BH9 series pumps operate continuously at ambient temperatures between -15°C and +40°C, with installation altitude limits of 1,000 meters above sea level. The vacuum pump features standard mufflers on inlet and discharge connections, operates at 50 or 60 Hz depending on the model variant, and includes motor protection rated IP55 with insulation class F and UL/CSA approvals.

The manual provides comprehensive operational guidance across eleven sections covering safety protocols, installation requirements (horizontal or vertical positioning options), electrical connection specifications for three-phase AC motors with NEMA Premium efficiency ratings, piping connection procedures, commissioning steps including direction-of-rotation verification, and detailed troubleshooting tables addressing common faults such as motor failure to start, insufficient pressure generation, and abnormal noise. Critical safety warnings emphasize hazards from rotating impellers, vacuum and pressure exposure, hot surfaces reaching 160°C, and electrical dangers requiring trained personnel for all work. McKenna Engineering provides field service, repair center capabilities with 10,000 square feet of facilities, and engineering support including 3D modeling, ASME pressure vessel certification, hydrostatic testing to 3,000 PSIG, and complete turn-key packaged system integration for vacuum, compression, and bulk solids handling applications.

Clearance between bare live parts and between bare live parts and ground: ≥ 5.5 mm [0.217"] (at a nominal voltage of UN ≤ 690V).

For the tightening torques for terminal board connections (except terminal strips), see Chapter 3.1, "Mechanical data", Section "Tightening torques for screw connections", Pg. 10.

For terminals with clamping straps (e.g. as per DIN 46282), the conductors must be inserted so that approximately the same clamping height results on both sides of the bar.

Individual conductors must therefore be bent into a U-shape or connected with a cable lug

(DIN 46234).

This also applies to:

the protective conductor, the outer ground conductor.

Both conductors can be recognized from their color (green/yellow).

The terminal box must be free from foreign bodies, dirt, humidity.

Terminal box cover and cable entries must be tightly closed so as to make them dustproof and waterproof. Check for tightness at regular intervals.

Clearance between bare live parts and between bare live parts and ground:

at least 5.5 mm [0.217"] (at a nominal voltage of UN ≤ 690V).

There may be no protruding wire ends!

For motor overload protection:

Use motor circuit breakers.

This must be adjusted to the specified nominal current (see rating plate).

There is danger of an electrical shock when a defective pump-motor unit is touched!

Mount motor circuit breaker.

Have electrical equipment checked regularly by an electrician.

Interference immunity of drive motor:

For drive motors with integrated sensors, the operator must provide for a sufficient interference immunity itself. Select a suitable sensor signal cable (e.g. with screening, connection as for a motor power-supply cable) and analyzing unit.

Operation with frequency converter:

Pump-motor units with a UL approbation may not be operated on frequency converters in the US without testing by a suitable test agency!

With a power supply by a frequency converter, the following must be observed:

High-frequency current and voltage harmonics in the motor supply cables can lead to emitted electromagnetic interference. This is dependent on the converter design (type, manufacturer, interference suppression measures).

Be sure to observe the EMC notes of the converter manufacturer!

Use screened power supply cables if necessary. For optimal screening, the screen must be conductively connected over a large area to the metal terminal box of the drive motor with a screwed metal gland.

In the case of drive motors with integrated sensors (e.g. PTC thermistors) interference voltage can occur on the sensor cable depending on the converter type.

Limit speed:

see specifications on the rating plate.

Cutting/cutting of off extremities!

The rotating impeller is accessible with the inlet and discharge connections open!

With free entry and exit of gases, i.e. with direct intake out of or direct feeding into the atmosphere without piping, the following therefore applies:

Provide the inlet and discharge connections of the pump-motor unit either with additional mufflers or with additional piping of a sufficient length to prevent access to the impeller!

Connections:

To prevent foreign bodies from entering the unit, all connections are sealed off when delivered. Do not remove the sealing plugs until immediately before connecting the pipes/hoses.

The following applies for the arrangement of the pipe/hose connections:

The pumped gases are sucked in via the inlet connection (see Chapter 5.3.1, Pg. 19) and discharged via the discharge connection (see Chapter 5.3.2, Pg. 19).

The shaft rotating direction is marked with an arrow on the back of the vacuum pump/compressor housing (Fig. 1, Pg. 2, Item 7).

The delivery direction of the gases is marked with arrows on both connections (Fig. 1, Pg. 2, Item 6).

Danger from interchanging inlet and pressure line!

Interchanged inlet and pressure lines can lead to damage to the pump-motor unit and the system, and as a result of this to serious injuries!

Make sure that the inlet and pressure line cannot be confused when connecting.

Look for the clear marking with the arrow indicating the delivery direction on the inlet and discharge connections.

Danger due to vacuum and gauge pressure!

Danger due to escaping fluid!

During operation, connected pipes and vessels are vacuumized or pressurized!

Use only mounting elements, connections, lines, fittings and containers with sufficient freedom from leaks and strength for the pressures which occur.

Make sure that the mounting elements and connections are mounted sufficiently firmly and leak-free!

If the pumped gases are passed on on the discharge side in a closed pipe system, then it must be ensured that the pipe system is adapted to the maximum discharge pressure.

See Chapter 3.3: "Operating conditions", Section "Pressures", Pg. 11. Connect a pressure relief valve upstream if necessary.

NOTICE

Attach pipes/hoses free of mechanical tensions.

Support the weight of the pipes/hoses.

5.3.1 Inlet connection

The inlet connection with the related muffler (Fig. 1, Pg. 2, Item 3) is marked with an arrow pointing into the vacuum pump/compressor.

Connect the inlet pipe here. The pumped gases are sucked in via this.

Procedure: see Chapter 5.3.3.

Danger from solid bodies and impurities in the pump-motor unit!

If solid bodies penetrate into the pump-motor unit, blades of the impellers can break and broken pieces can be thrown out.

Install a filter in the inlet pipe.

Replace filter regularly!

5.3.2 Discharge connection

The discharge connection with the related muffler (Fig. 1, Pg. 2, Item 4) is marked with an arrow pointing out of the vacuum pump/compressor.

Connect the discharge pipe here. The pumped gases are discharged via this. Procedure: see Chapter 5.3.3.

5.3.3 Procedure when connecting

pipes/hoses

Attach the pipes/hoses to the unit as described in the following. The pipes/hoses are connected differently to inlet and discharge connections depending on the muffler design and the type of line (pipe or hose):

Muffler with inside threads:

The pipe is screwed directly into the muffler.

Muffler without inside thread:

– Screw threaded flange (available as an accessory) onto the muffler.

– Screw the pipe into the threaded flange.

Hose connection:

– for 2BH1 Screw the hose flange (available as an accessory) onto the silencer.

– Push the hose onto the hose flange and secure it with a hose clamp. See Chapter 3.1, "Mechanical data", Section "Tightening torques for screw connections", Pg. 10 for information on this topic.

6 Commissioning

Improper use of the unit can result in serious or even fatal injuries!

Have you read the safety precautions in Chapter 1, "Safety", Pg. 3 f.? Otherwise you many not carry out any work with or on the pump-motor unit!

Danger from rotating parts (external fan, impeller, shaft): Cutting/cutting off of extremities, Grasping/winding up of hair and clothing!

Danger due to vacuum and gauge pressure:

sudden escape of fluids (skin and eye injuries), sudden drawing in of hair and clothing!

Danger due to escaping fluid: Burns!

Start-up and operation only under the following conditions:

The pump-motor unit must be completely assembled. When doing so, pay particular attention to the following components:

– the vacuum pump/compressor cover,

– the muffler on inlet and discharge connections,

– the fan guard.

The pipes/hoses must be connected to inlet and discharge connections.

Inlet and discharge connections and the connected pipes/hoses may not be closed, clogged or soiled.

Check the mounting elements, connections of the pipe/hose connections, lines, fittings and containers for strength, leaks and firm seating at regular intervals.

6.1 Preparation

Danger from closed connections!

With closed/soiled intake or discharge connections vacuum or gauge pressure results in the pump-motor unit.

This can overheat and damage the drive motor winding.

Before start-up, make sure that the inlet and discharge connections are not closed, clogged or soiled!

Before starting up again after a longer standstill:

Measure the insulation resistance of the motor.

With values ≤ 1 kΩ per volt of nominal voltage, the winding is too dry.

Measures before start-up:

If a shut-off device is installed in the discharge pipe:

Make sure that the unit is NOT operated with the shut-off device closed.

Before starting up the pump-motor unit, observe the values specified on the rating plate. Specifications on the drive-motor nominal current apply at a gas entry and ambient…
