Abstract:
A dry pump for gases comprises a first rotor (1) comprising a first lobe portion (1A) and a first screw (16), as well as a second rotor (2) comprising a second lobe portion (2A) and a second screw (2B). A casing delimits an internal volume in which are located together the first and second screws (1B, 2B) and the first and second lobe portions (1A, 2A). Each of the first and second screws (1B, 2B) comprises a threading invariable along its length. The first and second rotors (1, 2) turn in opposite directions and are located in successive configurations. In a first configuration of the rotors, the first and second lobe portions (1A, 2A), a portion of the first screw (16), a portion of the second screw (2B) and the casing together delimit a chamber (30) which is closed. In a second configuration of the rotors, the chamber (30) has a smaller capacity than in the first configuration. In a third configuration of the rotors, the chamber (30) is displaced entirely at the first and second screws (1B, 2B) and isolated from the lobe portions.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pumping system to generate a vacuum (SP), comprising a main vacuum pump which is a dry screw pump (3) having a gas suction inlet (2) connected to a vacuum chamber (1) and a gas discharge outlet (4) leading into a gas evacuation conduit (5) in the direction of a gas exhaust outlet (8) outside the pumping system. The pumping system comprises a non-return valve (6) positioned between the gas discharge outlet (4) and the gas exhaust outlet (8), and an auxiliary vacuum pump (7) connected in parallel to the non-return valve. In a pumping method by means of this pumping system (SP), the main vacuum pump (3) is started up in order to pump the gases contained in the vacuum chamber (1) and to discharge these gases through its gas discharge outlet (4), simultaneously to which the auxiliary vacuum pump (7) is started up. Moreover the auxiliary vacuum pump (7) continues to pump all the while that the main vacuum pump (3) pumps the gases contained in the vacuum chamber (1) and/or all the while that the main vacuum pump (3) maintains a defined pressure in the vacuum chamber (1).
Abstract:
A pumping installation includes at least one first positive-displacement machine and one second positive-displacement machine, as well as a control module, in which installation a gas is evacuated from an enclosed volume by means of the first positive-displacement machine and/or the second positive-displacement machine. The pumping installation includes at least one control valve controlled by the control module and a pressure sensor for sensing the value of the pressure at the outlet of the first positive-displacement machine and/or a temperature sensor for sensing the value of the temperature at the outlet of the first positive-displacement machine in order to control the flow of gas between the enclosed volume and the outlet of the pumping installation.
