How do Vacuum Pumps Work?

Vacuum pumps are device that is used to remove gases or particles of air from a closed volume in order to create a difference in pressure, resulting in an incomplete vacuum. Vacuum pumps can be constructed using various techniques based on needs for pressure as well as the purpose they serve. When designing the vacuum pump system choosing the right parameters is vital to get the best performance.

Vacuum pumps are device that is used to remove gases or particles of air from a closed volume in order to create a difference in pressure, resulting in an incomplete vacuum. Vacuum pumps can be constructed using various techniques based on needs for pressure as well as the purpose they serve. When designing the vacuum pump system choosing the right parameters is vital to get the best performance. How Does a Vacuum Pump Work? Vacuum is a vacuum that is devoid of matter in which the gaseous pressure within this space is less than the atmospheric pressure. Vacuum pumps primary function is to alter the pressure within a constrained space to produce a complete or partial vacuum. This can be done chemically or mechanically. Pressure always tries to even out across the separated regions when gas molecules move from low to high to fill the whole area of the. Thus, if a brand new space of low pressure is introduced gas will flow from the high-pressure area into the area of low pressure until they're of equal pressure. It is important to note that this vacuum phenomenon does not occur through "sucking" gases , but rather pushing molecules. Vacuum pumps are essentially used to transfer molecules of gas from one place into the next, creating the vacuum by switching between low and high-pressure states.

  2. Vacuum Pump Basics- As the molecules disappear from vacuum the process becomes more difficult to remove more which increases the amount of vacuum power needed. The pressure ranges are placed into several groups: High Vacuum: 10-3 to 10-7 mbar / 7.5-3 to 7.5-7 Torr Fine/ Medium Vacuum: 1 to 10-3 mbar / 0.75 to 7.5-3 Torr Rough/Low Vacuum: 1000 to 1 mbar / 760 to 0.75 Torr Ultra-High Vacuum: 10-7 to 10-11 mbar / 7.5-7 to 7.5-11 Torr Extreme High Vacuum: < 10-11 mbar / < 7.5-11 Torr Vacuum pump are classified according to the pressure range they are able to attain to aid in determining their capabilities. The classifications include: Primarily (Backing) Pumps that handle high and low pressure ranges. Booster Pumps are able to handle medium and low pressure ranges. Secondary (High Vacuum) Pumps are able to handle extremely high, high, and ultra-high vacuum pressures. Based on the requirements for pressure and the operating purpose the vacuum pump technologies are classified as dry or wet. Wet pumps employ water or oil for lubrication and sealing, whereas dry pumps don't have any fluid within the space between the rotating mechanism or static components that are utilized to compress and isolate gas molecules. Dry pumps, without lubrication are extremely precise in their tolerances and perform efficiently without wear. Let's look at a few of the ways employed in the vacuum pump.
