Various older belt-driven Welch models appear from time-to-time on eBay and elsewhere but listed information for
them - including what I have above for pumping speed and even the number of stages
- may not be reliable. Notes 1. The "Pumping Speed" values used here are the manufacturer's free air displacement ratings.
These photos are prettier than the ones on the Welch Web site and I believe the
captions match the pump which wasn't the case the last time
I checked there. Exploded parts diagram and parts list available on Welch's Web site.
The specs for the 1405 on Welch's Web site show 3.1 cfm (91
l/m) but I list those I've seen everywhere else. The 1373
only shows up in the "Parts Diagrams" portion of the Web site
but without specs. Here is a chart of the most important specs for a variety of Welch belt-drive rotary vane vacuum pumps.
And, those 50 year old pumps are still serviceable, requiring at most
a cleaning and relatively inexpensive rebuild kit to meet
original factory specifications. These appliances and machines often require the expertise
of technicians and engineers who are skilled in working on them.
We have experienced technicians who are trained in the best industry standard.
After disassembling it for the second time and
finding the problem, I unstuck the rubber from the shaft, lined up the broken pieces as best I could,
and added an additional spring of my own to keep
them together - hopefully. I suggest you use a shop vacuum cleaner to get all the drilled metal
pieces into the vacuum cleaner, not the transmission. The kickstart parts were soft
& use of the kickstarter is not recommended. They also have repair parts and kits for all their pumps as well as exploded diagrams (with repair manuals and more
coming soon) should your acquisition turn out to
need a bit of maintenance or a miracle. I
also don't think direct-drive pumps have quite the
same aesthetic appeal as belt-driven pumps. There have also been a number of articles on vacuum systems and
technology in the Amateur Scientist column of Scientific American.
Lesker Vacuum Systems and Components, a supplier of vacuum related
equipment and supplies, has basic technical notes on vacuum pumps,
gauges, and other product related topics in their "e-Catalog".
Pfeiffer Vacuum has several documents on basic vacuum technology under "Downloads".
As far as convenience goes, you only have to
type in basic contact info to get a quote. Whether your
type of door is closed by hand, or by an electronic device, regular
maintenance can prevent major disasters down the road.
With available alternatives which ranges from laminate refinishing to
hardwood refinishing, the professionals can certainly help refresh various hard flooring
products to give enhanced look as well as safety for many
years of more overall performance. However, I do believe that
both these pumps would benefit from another oil change and flushing might help the 1402 even more.
Again, if you are certain that your appliance is broken, then you must secure the help of experts and
professional service providers straight away.
You may be strongly tempted to call an amateur to come and fix your damaged appliance.
Actual performance may be slightly lower.
Typical performance with fresh belt-drive pump oil will be a fraction of a Torr for single-stage pumps and a
few microns for two-stage pumps. The vapor pressure at 25 °C for Welch Duo-Seal oil is about
5 times the listed base pressure for two-stage Welch pumps!
2. The specifications for "Ultimate Vacuum", especially for two stage pumps, are
generally overly optimistic and not achievable in practice
except under the most controlled conditions with the pumps in perfect mechanical
condition, new from the factory or after several flushes, and filled with special
low vapor pressure oil. The Electronic Bell Jar has a
detailed article on refrigeration service pumps. When you're coming up with a pick, take the time to look at the examples below these are
rated the most effective in the arena of fridges and
finding a repair service and appliance components
for them isn't hard. I still doubt they would reach
spec'd pressure though I have seen another pump (Ulvac
Sinku-Kiko G-50D) come in well under its more conservative rated base pressure of 0.75 microns after a flushing and two oil changes.
Newer 1405s are externally similar to 1402s with the large oil
case but older versions have a very small oil reservoir above
the pump chambers and no other oil case.
