The Edwards RV Series Small Oil-Sealed Rotary Vane Pumps are designed to deliver outstanding performance in scientific and research applications, offering excellent ultimate vacuum pressure, high pumping speeds, and superior vapor handling capabilities. These pumps have set the industry standard with over 400,000 units produced, making them reliable and proven for a wide range of vacuum needs.

Key Features:

• High Reliability: The pumps provide generous lubrication for moving parts, ensuring long-lasting performance.
• Safe Process & Systems: Fast-acting inlet valves offer best-in-class anti-suckback protection for greater safety.
• Flexible Configuration: With a mode selector and three-position gas ballast, the pumps can be reconfigured during operation for optimal performance.
• Quiet Operation: The pumps run quietly, with 48 dBA noise levels at 50Hz, improving the work environment and minimizing disruptive frequencies.
• Efficient Water Vapor Handling: The three-position gas ballast enables handling of up to 220 g/hr of water vapor, making it suitable for a variety of applications.
• Universal Motor: The motor is designed to cover a wide voltage and frequency range for global use.
• Controlled Inlet Valve: The smooth, oil pressure-controlled inlet valve eliminates pressure surges, and the valve closes rapidly within 0.4 seconds after the pump stops.

Technology:

The Edwards RV pumps are engineered for both high vacuum and high throughput applications, ensuring optimal performance with or without gas ballast. The simple mode selector and gas ballast controls make it easy to adjust the pump's performance as needed.
