    • Description
    •   The Roots vacuum pump is a positive-displacement rotary vacuum pump that operates without internal compression, also known as a mechanical booster pump. A typical Roots liquid-ring vacuum unit consists of a Roots pump (the main pump) connected in series with a liquid-ring pump (the forepump). The Roots pump achieves gas suction through two synchronously rotating, counter-rotating impeller-shaped rotors, while the liquid-ring pump completes gas compression and discharge by cyclically varying the volume of its pumping chamber. When used in tandem, this configuration enables operation across a broader pressure range and delivers significantly higher pumping efficiency. Additionally, the system can be customized to include instrumentation, condensers, control units, piping, valves, and fully or partially recirculating working fluid systems—providing customers with tailored, comprehensive solutions.

         Overview

        A standard Roots vacuum pump cannot be used alone and must be paired with a suitable forepump to form a complete system. The primary function of the forepump is to reduce the discharge pressure of the Roots vacuum pump, ensuring that the inlet-to-outlet pressure difference and compression ratio of the Roots unit remain within a specific range. Since the Roots pump has a limited compression ratio, selecting an appropriately sized forepump with the right pumping speed is crucial. Note that the maximum compression ratio of a Roots vacuum pump varies depending on the discharge pressure—typically around 3:1 at higher discharge pressures. In contrast, when combined with a liquid-ring forepump, the Roots vacuum unit can achieve a much higher compression ratio, often reaching up to 40:1 or even higher.

        Since Roots vacuum pumps have a relatively low compression ratio, to achieve higher vacuum levels and greater pumping speeds, multiple Roots vacuum pumps can be connected in series with a forepump to form a multistage Roots vacuum pump unit, thereby meeting the demands of high-vacuum applications. The number of stages in the vacuum unit is determined by the desired working vacuum level—typically, the ultimate vacuum of the system should be half to one order of magnitude higher than the actual working vacuum. Additionally, since different vacuum systems operate at varying pressure ranges, it’s crucial to keep the following key points in mind when selecting and configuring the appropriate pump unit.

        1. The main pump must operate within its optimal performance range;

        2. The compression ratio of the main pump or intermediate pump relative to the backing pump must not exceed the allowable range;

        3. The ratio between the forepump and the first-stage Roots pump should be kept as low as possible, ensuring that a decline in the forepump's performance will not significantly affect the system's overall vacuum capability.
