THE YOUNG CENTRIFUGAL VACUUM AND BOILER FEED PUMP Patented December 10, 1918
The Young Pump is a reliable Vacuum System pump for handling both gases and
liquids efficiently.
The units are completely assembled (including electrical equipment) at the factory
and tested before shipment. They are ready to run when the feed wiring is connected
to the unit.
The unit consists of a Centrifugal Pump, bronze fitted, of enclosed impeller and high
efficiency type, an approved make of motor and electrical equipment, mounted with a
heavy welded tank on a substantial cast iron base.
The motor used is of 40 rating, of more than ample power for the maximum load
that will come on the unit. A safety factor insuring freedom from motor trouble.
All Standard Units are built to discharge against a pressure of 20 pounds at the
pump, except the Standard Unit VOA which is built to discharge against 18 pounds
pressure at the pump. Special pumps can be furnished to discharge against 35 pounds
pressure at the pump. .
Both the standard and special units are furnished for either continuous or automatic
control operation.

The capacity rating in square feet of equivalent direct radiation given in the table
is for a properly laid out and equipped vacuum system that is tight. The air capacities
are ample and standardized to produce under these conditions 10 inches of vacuum
with reasonably tight vacuum traps, and temperature of returns not to exceed 180
deg. Fahr.
The principle of the
YOUNG ACCUMULATOR TANK
vacuum producing element
is the oldest and most
efficient in practice--that of the ejector. Whenever
DischargcIo Boiler
the pump is in operation,
water is supplied under
pressure to the ejector noz
zle, which causes the ejector
to pull a strong suction
on the return line of the
heating system. This suc tion produced by the ejector
WxrtR Supply-
is particularly positive.
Where the returns come
hack at a low level an accu
mulator tank is recom
mended in preference to an
ordinary lift connection,
with all the returns gravita ting into it.
The accumulator tank is
Tjk-frss oSCMBl
Connections to Young Vacuum Pump and Accumulator Tank
equipped with a float switch control wired to the other control. Air and the water
of condensation flow into the accumulator tank from which they are pumped by
the pump unit. Should the YOUNG CONDENSATION PUMP AND RECEIVER accumulator tank fill with
water, the float control will function whether or not there is vacuum on.the re turn line of system. The snap switch between the vacuum regulator and starter can be used thus operating the pump as a condensation pump and re ceiver. This insures water being returned to the boiler at all times.
A Complete and Assembled Unit Ready for Piping and Wiring Connections
This accumulator tank equipment is particularly valuable where blast or other radiation is at a low level which must always be drained when vacuum is hot required on other parts of the system.
