A vacuum pump is used to expel air and non-condensible gases from the condenser in order to allow it to continue accepting steam (the collapse of which produces the vacuum in a condenser). If the vacuum pump fails, it will take from seconds to a few minutes before enough non-condensible gases build up in the condenser to stop the flow of steam.
The non-condensible gases come from the boiler feedwater supply, despite the fact that boiler water is treated to prevent this. The minute amount of air in the water is carried with the steam into the turbine then the condenser where it will concentrate unless removed by the vacuum pump.

What type of oil is recommended for a high-vacuum pump?
For high-vacuum pumps, a low vapor pressure oil like mineral oil or synthetic hydrocarbon oil is recommended. These oils offer high stability, low vaporization rates, and reduced backstreaming, crucial for maintaining vacuum levels. Additionally, they provide effective lubrication and thermal conductivity for optimal pump performance.
Where is the vacuum pump located on 1999 dodge diesel?
Driver side of engine, between the power steering pump and the back of the timing cover.
Where does the vacuum lines coming out of a power steering pump on a 1993 Toyota Corolla LE connect to on the engine?
