Turbopump Screen
Posted: Mon Mar 26, 2018 5:54 pm
I'm using a Leybold Turbovac 150, and was about to bolt it on today when I realised the inlet screen was loose and not parallel to the inlet flange. It was a bit forward from its usual position, which I thought was fixed.
I pushed on it and the screen went back to its normal position and won't move now. If the pump was shook quite a bit while upside down, it might slip forward, but be able to be pushed back into position as described.
I'm not sure if anything has changed, perhaps it has always been this way. I'd like to make sure it's okay before spinning it up though.
