RE: [TCML] Re: Tar



Hello Tony,

If the transformer is nearly full, I can't see this being a problem. Try
collapsing a full barrel of oil. Some kind of oil trap could be fashioned I
would think. I am not suggesting using a neon vacuum pump. A cheap pump is a
handy thing to have about. A small vacuum should do the job. If a compressor
is about, it shouldn't be hard to make a suitable venturi. 

Harbor Freight 92475-0VGA  16.99 air conditioner venturi. Better yet a break
bleeder hand pump 92474-0VGA $19.95 - 30 inch of mercury or 760 mm HG.

If the transformer can did happen to collapse, it would fill the whole  
pumping system with oil, a VERY bad thing! If you want to use a vacuum pump,
maybe 
a refrigeration vacuum pump could be rented for a day or two.

Bob,

If you pull a vacuum in the transformer  can, be sure it is strong enough 
to 
withstand the difference in  pressure. Atmospheric pressure will crush even 
a 
round steel 55 gallon  drum if a vacuum is created inside. There is a  ton 
(literally) of  pressure on each square foot with only 14 PSI pressure 
difference, 
so  be careful you don't implode the transformer can.

I also seriously  doubt that any sign shop would try to evacuate a 
transformer can with  their pumping system. That's not what it was designed 
to  do. I  
wouldn't want to risk contamination of my pumping system with oil vapor or  
the 
possibility of sucking oil into the manifold.
