22.1 VACUUM PUMPS

22.1.1 OPERATION OF VACUUM PUMPS

Vessel equipped with one set of vacuum unit consisting two vacuum pumps serving
only for black water system.
Prior to start confirm both pump casings are filled with water and all pump suction
and discharge valves open as well as line valves.

Manual Mode: Vacuum pumps will run regardless pressure in the line

Auto Mode: Vacuum pumps will run, controlled by pressure switches. There is one
pressure switch for each pump individually.
Set one pump to AUTO to enable pressure switch control. As both pump control
systems are independent if required both pumps can be set to AUTO. If one pump
fails to reduce pressure other can start as st-by to assist. In this case pressure settings
has to be adjusted to prevent starting at the same time.
