Key Features

• Two-Stage Rotary Vane Design: This design enables a deeper ultimate vacuum and more thorough system cleaning compared to single-stage pumps. The second stage begins pumping at a lower pressure, allowing for a profound vacuum.
• High Flow Rate: With a 6 CFM free air displacement, the pump ensures rapid and efficient evacuation, optimizing service timelines.
• Iso-Valve™: A quarter-turn valve isolates the pump from the system, simplifying rate-of-rise measurements and preventing oil back-up during power interruptions.
• Gas Ballast Feature: This mechanism introduces a precise amount of atmospheric air, mixing it with moist air to reduce condensation within the pump and help maintain oil purity.
• Heavy-Duty Motor: A high-torque motor facilitates easy startup and efficient operation, even under demanding conditions.
• Durable Construction: Built with a die-cast aluminum housing for durability and a molded polycarbonate base to improve balance and minimize vibration during operation.
• Offset Rotary Vanes: This proven design creates powerful compression within the pumping chamber, effectively reducing system pressure and vaporizing moisture for exhaust.
• Easy Oil Management: Features an accessible oil fill port and a large sight glass for convenient oil level monitoring and additions.
• Inlet Filter: Prevents foreign matter from entering the pumping chamber, protecting the pump from contamination.

Applications

The Robinair 15600 Two Stage Vacuum Pump is suited for a range of professional vacuum tasks, including:

• HVAC/R System Evacuation: Designed for use on A/C-R systems utilizing CFCs, HCFCs, and HFCs in conjunction with various lubricants like mineral oil, ester oil, alkylbenzene oil, and PAG oil.
• Automotive Air Conditioning Service: Effectively evacuates automotive AC systems for maintenance and repair.
• Refrigeration System Installation and Maintenance: Essential for removing moisture and non-condensable gases from refrigeration units.
• Residential and Light Commercial HVAC: Ideal for evacuating typical residential and light commercial HVAC systems up to approximately 7.5 tons.
• General Vacuum Applications: Suitable for various industrial and laboratory vacuum requirements where a deep vacuum is critical.

Benefits

• Achieve Deep Vacuum Levels: The two-stage design efficiently pulls a deep vacuum (down to 15 microns), crucial for thoroughly removing moisture and non-condensable gases from sealed systems.
• Ensure Optimal System Performance: Proper system evacuation prevents common issues like acid formation and component damage, contributing to reliable and efficient operation of HVAC/R equipment.
• Extend Equipment Lifespan: By effectively eliminating moisture, the pump protects delicate system components from corrosion and freezing, thus prolonging the overall lifespan of air conditioning and refrigeration units.
• Reduce Service Time: A high 6 CFM pumping capacity enables faster evacuation times, allowing technicians to complete jobs more quickly and efficiently.
• Maintain Oil Purity: The integrated gas ballast feature reduces moisture contamination in the pump oil, which helps extend the oil's life and sustains pump performance over time.
• Simplify Operation and Maintenance: User-friendly features such as the Iso-Valve™, easily accessible oil fill port, and clear sight glass streamline operation and facilitate routine maintenance.
• Deliver Durable Reliability: Constructed with a heavy-duty motor and robust aluminum housing, this vacuum pump is engineered for sustained performance in professional service environments.
