Vacuum Pumping Systems

Vacuum Pumping Systems

A vacuum pumping system combines multiple vacuum pumps to create a desired vacuum environment.
Vacuum technology is widely utilized in a variety of fields, ranging from cutting-edge science and technology to general industry. The required vacuum conditions vary widely depending on the application. From an environmental perspective, exhausting condensable and corrosive gases and treating wastewater and used oil are critical issues that must be addressed. Energy conservation is also an important and long-standing issue. The required pressure range varies widely for each application.
Each type of vacuum pump has its own unique characteristics. Combining them makes it possible to satisfy these various requirements.

Turbo Molecular Pumps in tandem

Schematic diagram

A turbo molecular pump for ultra-high vacuum (UHV) can be backed by another turbo molecular pump. When used in tandem, these pumps can achieve a high pumping speed for hydrogen in the XHV range, helping to stabilize it.

Combination with a Getter pump or XHV pumps

Schematic diagram

Adding a turbo molecular pump to an extreme high vacuum pump such as an ion pump, getter pump, or non-evaporating getter pump (NEG pump), makes pumping various gases in extreme high vacuums easier and more stable.

Vacuum Pumping Systems that use Mechanical Booster Pumps

Combination with an Oil-sealed Rotary Vacuum Pump

Schematic diagram

A mechanical booster pump combined with an oil-sealed rotary vacuum pump can efficiently evacuate a large volume. This has been proven in heat treating and welding applications.

Two stages of Mechanical Booster Pumps combined with an Oil-sealed Rotary Vacuum Pump

Schematic diagram

Combining two mechanical booster pumps in tandem allows the vacuum pumping system to reach a higher vacuum.

The PRM/SR series pumping system consists of a single- or multi-stage mechanical booster pump (Roots vacuum pump) and an oil-sealed rotary pump. Oil-sealed rotary pumps are the most cost-effective, efficient, and user-friendly vacuum pumps that can exhaust to the atmosphere, making them widely used for various applications worldwide.
Two oil-sealed rotary vacuum pumps are available: the rotary plunger type (Kinney type) P/K series and the rotary vane type (Gede type) VRD/VSV series. The rotary plunger type is efficient, durable, robust, and easy to maintain. The rotary vane type is popular due to its low vibration and small size.

Combination with a Liquid-ring Vacuum Pump

Schematic diagram

A mechanical booster pump combined with a liquid ring vacuum pump is ideal for pumping condensable gases and is used in vacuum drying and distillation processes.

Two stages of Mechanical Booster Pumps combined with a Liquid-ring Vacuum Pump

Schematic diagram

A pumping system with two or more mechanical booster pumps in tandem reaches a higher vacuum. These systems are widely used in vacuum drying equipment and other applications.

The PRL series consists of single- or multi-stage mechanical booster pumps (Roots vacuum pumps) and a liquid ring vacuum pump. Using a liquid ring vacuum pump as the primary pump enables the system to perform well when pumping water vapor, organic solvents, and other condensable components.
Circulating sealing water in a closed-cycle system minimizes the amount of wastewater containing organic solvents. The same organic solvent in the suction gas can be used as a sealing liquid. This simplifies suction gas recovery and helps comply with effluent standards.
For specific applications, a pumping system incorporates one or more roots vacuum pump stages to achieve a high pumping speed in medium vacuum ranges and reach higher vacuums with relatively low power.
