How to choose the right vacuum pump for the application

gast-3040

There are several options for choosing the appropriate vacuum pump for your application. At www.pumpular.com, when we are talking about vacuum pump, suction power matters! Suction power is determined by the desired vacuum level:

  • Ultimate vacuums down to 0.3 mbar (0.2 Torr):
    • Diaphragm Vacuum Pumps
    • Piston Vacuum Pumps
    • Venturi Vacuum Pumps
  • Ultimate vacuums down to 2 x 10-3 mbar (1.5 x 10-3 Torr):
    • Rotary Vane Vacuum Pumps
  • Ultimate vacuums down to 1 x 10-8 mbar (7.5 x 10-9 Torr):
    • Turbomolecular Vacuum Pumps
Also consider the following factors, which may influence your vacuum pump choice:
    1. The pump’s flow rate
    The flow rate of the pump is related to the machine’s draining time. As a result, the vacuum pump’s capacity to provide both the needed pumping speed (volume flow rate) and the mass flow rate according to the process requirements must be measured.
    1. Chemical compatibility
    Chemical compatibility is important. Determine whether the gases utilized with the pump are suitable to material of parts that exposes to those gases, as well as any potential issues with the process gas (such as moisture). You need to check on chemical guide or consult your engineer when you come to select vacuum pump.
    1. Type of pumps
    Pump types come in a variety of working method, shapes and sizes, for example piston type, rocking piston type or rotary vane. Each serves a specific purpose, and if you use the wrong unit for the wrong application, you’ll either get inadequate results or you can damage and destroy your equipment.
    1. Maintenance and Cost
    The frequency of maintenance cycles will then need to be examined. This will establish the total cost of your installation, which will include not only the purchase price but also the expenditures for operation and maintenance.
