The RC 6 chemistry-HYBRIDTM pump is a combination of a two-stage rotary vane pump and a two-stage chemistry diaphragm pump, providing 10-3 mbar vacuum with optimized corrosion resistance. The diaphragm pump maintains the oil reservoir under vacuum in order to keep the partial pressures of solvent vapors at levels below their condensation points. This unique feature significantly reduces the concentration of oxygen and corrosive gases in the pump oil, reducing oil change needs by as much as 90 percent. The pumping unit version PC 8 with RC 6 includes a condenser and catchpot for waste vapor recovery, providing excellent environmental friendliness.
