Please select one of the options below, or if your specific power requirement is not shown, select PW4 and explain your exact power requirements.

• PW1 480 volt / 3 phase / 60hz primary power and 24vdc control power.
• PW2 380 volt / 3 phase / 50hz primary power and 24vdc control power.
• PW3 400 volt / 3 phase / 50hz primary power and 24vdc control power.
• PW4 415 volt / 3 phase / 50hz primary power and 24vdc control power.
• PW5 575 volt / 3 phase / 60hz primary power and 24vdc control power.
• PW6 Custom power - please describe.

If you are unsure about your exact requirements, please see the following document for international voltage and frequencies. Note: ASC's manufacturing plant is in the US and therefore utilizes 480V/3PH power. For this reason, when PW2-PW6 is selected, ASC will be required utilize rental diesel generator power to test the oven during in-house tests. This generator rental cost as well as a slight increase in motor costs will be priced into the project, so one should expect a slight increase in autoclave price when PW2-PW6 is selected.

• VP1 One vacuum pump, fully integrated to autoclave, with PC controls.
• VP2 Two vacuum pumps, fully integrated to autoclave, with PC auto-switching and redundancy logic/controls.

ASC standardizes on an Airtech L-series, rotary-vane, oil-seal vacuum pump for our aerospace vacuum applications. The Airtech pump includes an exhaust filter, vibration isolators, and anti-suckback valve. The pump achieves a vacuum level of 29.8 "Hg (2 mmhg) at 60hz operation and sea-level.

For the VP2 option, ASC will provide two (2) pumps with PC-control logic that allows manual selection of a single pump, dual pump operation, and auto-switching for balance duty, and redundancy.

Pump Ratings

For composite applications, ASC has developed a simple rule of thumb for sizing vacuum pumps. We generally offer a pump that delivers a capacity that will provide approximately 2 cfm to each of the autoclave's source lines. For example, for a 10 source line application, we would select an L25 pump, which delivers 20 cfm.

The VacTrap is an ASC designed modular vacuum system that utilizes conventional stainless-steel ball valves, a proprietary custom aluminum trap blocks, and a chiller.

The VR option provides an integrated receiver tank, transducer connected to PC system, and two PC-controlled valves. Once configured, the system will provide Recipe-based programming and control of the system vacuum to +/- 1" hg (24 mm Hg) accuracy. The VR option includes solenoid operating valves for ovens with minimal vacuum source ports, and proportional valves for larger oven systems.
