Two years after it was founded in 1902, Kinney introduced the world's firstrotary pump. Then in 1926, Kinney developed a vacuum pump for use in largecommercial operations. Just as these pumps helped change the face of Americaby making it possible to mass produce products such as light bulbs, radio tubes,refrigerator and air conditioner components, constant research and innovativemanufacturing techniques has continued to spearhead Kinney's leadership inthe design and manufacture of oil-sealed rotary piston vacuum pumps.
And today, the remarkable long life and reliability of Kinney pumps is testimonyto the soundness of the basic rotary piston principle with the elimination ofmetal-to-metal contact in the pumping chamber.
The Kinney line of oil-sealed piston pumps covers a wide range of sizes in both single stage and compound pump design and as part of Tuthill Vacuum &Blower Systems, our full line capability lets us service a host of major industriesworldwide (see Application chart on pages 4-5). Our wide selection offersKinney customers a highly reliable, single source for pumps as well as theirinstallation, service and technical know-how. You can rely on the Kinney line!
PROFILE OF OUR CAPABILITIES
INTRODUCTION 1
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATIONThe Efficiency and Long-Term Reliability of the Kinney Rotary PistonPump is the Result of the Time-Tested Design.
1. The rotary piston does not spin on its axis. It moves in a circular path within the pumping chamber.
2. As it passes top dead center, it creates a constantly increasinginternal space on the inlet or suction side.
3. ...and a constantly decreasing internal space on the pressure or discharge side.
4. A high-integrity seal is maintained between the suction andpressure sides by a film of oil that is captured between the piston and the cylinder.
5. There is no contact between the piston and the cylinder.
6. The oil film is maintained by oil dragged into the clearance by the moving piston which creates a hydrodynamic wedge.
7. At the end of compression cycle, the clearance volume is completely filled with oil, making very high compressionratios available.
These three facts, the oil seal, the filling of the clearance volume, and nocontact between piston and wall, arewhat give the rotary piston pump itslow blank off, high pumping speeds atlow pressures and great durability.
Depending on your applicationand what vacuum level youneed to attain, Kinney Pumpsare available in either single-stage or two-stage design. The two-stage pumps will achieve alower vacuum level due to
the two piston chambers which are arranged in series
with a connecting channel.

Kinney KT Pumps have threesets of cams and pistons driv-en by a common shaft. Onecam and piston set is nolonger than the other two andthe cams are set 180° apart.The dynamic forces producedby the rotation of the long cam
and piston are balanced by opposing forces producedby the short cams and pistons on either side. Theresulting out-of-balance force is very small, makingit possible to mount the pump on springs or vibra-mounts which substantially reduce the dynamicforces transmitted to the floor.

INTEGRAL OIL-MIST-ELIMINATOR CONVERSESOIL, PROVIDES CLEAN DISCHARGEAll Kinney KT Series Low Profile Pumps have as standard an integral three-stage oil-mist-eliminator, which captures and returns the oil to the oil reservoir.The first stage is an impingement umbrella on which the largest oil droplets are removed. The second stage is a stainless steel pad,which collects small droplets. The third and final stage is a coalescing filter of glass fibers which removes all visible oil smoke from the discharge gas. Oil collected from all three stages automatically drains back to the oil reservoir.

KD/KDH SERIES8
HIGH VAPOR HANDLINGKinney Piston Pumps are equipped with three features to handle high vapor loads. First, the adjustable gas ballast valve can introduce air to the pumping chamber, which helps prevent vapor from condensing in the pump oil.Second, Piston Pumps have a large oil capacity, which has ahigher tolerance to contamination. The large reservoir can collecta significant volume of condensed liquid, which can be drained from the pump.Third, Piston Pumps can operate as part of a vapor handling system, in which the oil reservoir is maintained under vacuum.This is made possible by the oil pump and the design of the oilreservoir to operate under vacuum. Vapor handling systems,which keep the oil dry, can operate in corrosive applications.

Models KD and KDH are single stage vacuum pumpsof "duplex" design. Each has a single shaft with twosets of cams and pistons mounted 180° apart, whichoperate in parallel. The rotary pistons do not touchthe walls of the pumping chambers but are sealed by oil, which acts as both a lubricant and a sealant.KD pumps are air-cooled; KDH pumps need watercooling for most applications.
These are other quality features: a controllable gas ballast to permit the handling of condensablevapors and to minimize oil changes due to vaporcontamination of the sealing oil. Models KD-30 and KD-50 are equipped with an oil mist eliminator,optional on model KDH-130 & KDH-150. Each pumpoperates within the rating of its standard TEFC motor throughout the entire operating pressure range.

KC SERIES10
SPECIAL SERVICE PUMPSKinney KC series pumps are ideally suited for tough,demanding applications. They can also be ordered for specific, special duty applications.
Refrigeration Service Pumps – these pumps are manufactured and tested using oil and seals which are compatible with the Freon used in refrigeration coilsand compressors.
Automotive Brake Line Filling Pumps – these pumpsare manufactured and tested using oil which is com-patible with brake fluid. A special shaft seal designeliminates oil leakage due to brake fluid contamina-tion in the pump.
Industrial Gas Distribution – these pumps are manu-factured and tested using oil which is fire resistant.
HIGHLIGHTS
• Pumping Speed at Pressures Below 10 Microns. Lower than Attainable with Single-Stage Pumps
• Ultimate Pressure: .2 Microns (McLeod Gauge)
• Can Operate at Any Pressure up to Atmosphere
• Adjustable Gas Ballast Permits Handling of Condensable Vapors
• No Metal-to-Metal Contact in Pumping Chamber
• Unequaled Durability, Even in Dirty Applications
• Air-Cooled
Typical Applications: Refrigeration Systems, Liquid Gas Storage, Automotive Applications, Leak Detection
Kinney Series, two-stage vacuum pumps, aredesigned to achieve lower pressures than can beachieved with single-stage pumps. Two sets of camsand pistons, mounted 180° apart on a single shaft,operate in series. The two pumping chambers areconnected by a channel, which serves as an oil supply duct for the high vacuum side of the pumpand as a gas duct between the two stages. The highvacuum side is continuously sealed with vacuum oil from its own reservoir, the vacuum conditioningbeing provided by the roughing (2nd) stage.Functionally vibrationless, they are well suited forportable installations. Because there is no metal
contact between the pump piston and cylinder,clearances are sealed and lubricated with oil. Unitsare equipped with a gas ballast valve to providevapor-handling capability. Oil mist eliminators arestandard. Each pump operates within the rating ofits standard TEFC motor throughout its operatingpressure range.Wear is minimum. Units operate without repairs for many years. Pumps can be serviced easily in the field without special tools.Specifically manufactured refrigeration units prepared for use with POE oil, compatible withFreon R134A are also available.

Kinney Piston Pumps have three sets of cams and pistonsdriven by a common shaft. One cam and piston set is nolonger than the other two and the cams are set 180° apart.The dynamic forces produced by the rotation of the longcam and piston are balanced by opposing forces producedby the short cams and pistons on either side. The resultingout-of-balance force is very small, making it possible tomount the pump on springs or vibramounts which substan-tially reduce the dynamic forces transmitted to the floor.
NO ANCHOR BOLTSKT Pumps do not require lagging, anchor boltsor special foundations and may be located onany floor that will support their weight.
OIL-SEALED TWO-STAGE ROTARY PISTONVACUUM PUMPSKTC-21, KTC-60, KTC-112
The KTC series two-stage high vacuum pumps are of "triplex" design, a single shaft with three sets ofcams and pistons, one set larger than the other.Pumps in this series maintain lower pressures than are attainable with single-stage pumps. In operation, one of the smaller pumping chambers is in series with (backing) the other two, which function in parallel. A unique internal balancing technique reduces the magnitude of pump movement(deflection) to 0.0002'' while simultaneously reducing thedynamic forces transmitted through the flexible mounting padsfurnished with each pump to less than one pound. Thesepumps are vibration-free, air-cooled, (except the KTC-12 whichis water-cooled), and equipped with an adjustable gas ballastproviding vapor handling capability while reducing oil changesby preventing condensable vapors from contaminating the oil.
Other superior quality features include a special umbrellatype discharge baffle to reduce oil loss to levels not attainable in other pumps, solenoid valves to protectagainst oil flooding and the single gas ballast adjustmentthat assures balanced air flow and simple regulation.The pump operates within the rating of its standard TEFCmotor throughout the complete operating pressure range.

HIGH VAPOR HANDLINGKinney KT Pumps are equipped with three features to handle high vapor loads. First, the adjustable gas ballast valve can introduce air to the pumping chamber, which helps prevent vapor from condensing in the pump oil.Second, KT Pumps have a large oil capacity, which has a highertolerance to contamination. The large reservoir can collect a significant volume of condensed liquid, which can be drained from the pump.Third, KT Pumps can operate as part of a vapor handling system, in which the oil reservoir is maintained under vacuum. This ismade possible by the oil pump and the design of the oil reservoir to operate under vacuum. Vapor handling systems, which keep the oil dry, can operate in corrosive applications.
STRONGER 4-PIECE CAGEDSLIDE PINSSlide pins in allKinney RotaryPiston Pumpshave 4-piecedcaged construc-tion, with endpieces that keepboth segments in perfect alignment.
