The PhoeniXL is a leak detector for Helium or Hydrogen. This instrument may be used to detect the location and the size of leaks on objects under test in two different ways:
The PhoeniXL is to be used for leak detection only. It must not be used as a pumping system (esp. pumping aggressive or humid gases.)
Pumping condensable gases and steams: When pumping test sample water vapour that is inside the test object can attain to the fore pump. With the water vapor that is in the air - especially in humid areas or when using humid or wet test samples - the acceptable compatibility of water vapor or capacity of water vapor respectively can be exceeded.
The steam in the oil of the pump condeses when the water vapor rises over the acceptable value. So the attribute of the oil changes and danger of corrosion occures for the pump.
While using the leak detector with condensable gases and steams the oil of the fore pump has to be controlled regularly. So you can recognize a condensation of water vapor in the pump. Usually the oil is light and lucent. When water vapor is inside it gets blear and milky at operating state temperature.
When turning the pump off water vapor condensates and raises the part of water in the oil.
The leak detector must not directly be switched off after the process, in which condensable gases or steams are pumped, is finished. It must be running (at least 20 minutes) with opend gas ballast valve until the oil of the pump is freed from detached steam.
