I am going to setup my bush this year to vacuum instead of just gravity. I have a few vacuum pumps that I have acquired. This is the one I think I'll use.

It's a dual stage rotary vane with 25 cfm. I am only putting it on 1000ish taps.
Question is. What do I need to do to it to keep it cool and working well? I understand this machine probably isn't meant to run 24/7 but can it? If not what can I do to make it possible?
I currently use it for milking a cow but never on for more than 15 minutes and only pulling 12" at that.
I also have a Kinney kc 15

2 stage rotary piston at 15 cfm. Used it also for same purpose.
