FR Roots vacuum pump

1、 Structural principles and characteristics:




1. FR series Roots vacuum pump, also known as mechanical Booster pump, is a rotary variable volume vacuum pump without internal compression, which is evolved from Roots blower. Mainly using a pair of "8" shaped rotors to maintain a certain gap in the pump body and perform constant speed reverse rotation to generate suction and exhaust effects. (See Figure 1)




2. The two rotors are supported in the rolling bearings of the end caps on the two sides of the pump body, and rely on a pair of synchronous gears to keep the two rotors engaged during high-speed rotation. The gap between the rotor and the end cap plane is adjusted arbitrarily by a round nut in front of the fixed end bearing (technical patent), so that the pump can only expand to one side due to heating during operation.




3. The four sets of internal seals inside the end cover use piston ring devices to prevent lubricating oil from entering the pump chamber in the front and rear covers. The sealing form used for the output shaft is mechanical sealing, which removes the oil cup and completely eliminates oil leakage.




4. This pump has undergone significant structural changes and adopts imported SKF bearings, resulting in low noise during operation and significantly lower indicators than standard.




5. The flat surface is sealed with an O-ring without applying sealant.




According to the structural principle, the rotor can operate at high speeds, so the pump has a high pumping speed, simple structure, and economical operation. Therefore, Roots vacuum pumps have been widely used in industries such as metallurgy, petrochemical, electronics, and food.

2、 Scope of use:




The biggest advantage of the FR type Roots vacuum pump is that it has a high pumping rate within a wide inlet pressure range, but it cannot be used alone. A front stage vacuum pump must be connected in series, and the Roots vacuum pump can only start working when the pressure in the pumped system is pumped from the front stage vacuum pump to the allowable inlet pressure of the Roots vacuum pump (see Figure 2). In general, the Roots vacuum pump does not allow continuous operation under high pressure difference, The time should not exceed 1 hour, otherwise it will be overloaded and overheated and damaged. Therefore, when using Roots vacuum pumps, it is necessary to choose the previous stage vacuum pump reasonably and install necessary protective equipment.




The front stage vacuum pump is generally an oil sealed mechanical pump, but if the limit pressure requirement is not high, other forms of coarse vacuum pump can also be selected as the front stage pump. Especially when extracting gas containing a large amount of water vapor, it is ideal to choose a water ring vacuum pump as the front stage pump, and of course, the maximum pressure that can be reached is also relatively low. In addition, the pumping speed of the selected coarse vacuum pump should not be too small, usually half of that of the Roots vacuum pump, otherwise it may cause overheating and damage to the Roots vacuum pump during operation.

Note: 1. The pumping rate refers to the maximum pumping rate measured by the Roots vacuum pump within the range of 0.5Pa to 10Pa under the recommended conditions of using the front stage pump.


2. Extreme pressure refers to the use of a seated compressed vacuum gauge without any container, with the pump mouth sealed, and after sufficient air extraction, under the recommended conditions of using the front stage pump


The lowest value of stable air partial pressure measured at the pump inlet, while the total pressure is measured using a thermocouple vacuum gauge.


3. Users can choose different front stage vacuum pumps according to their actual situation when using them, but different front stage vacuum pumps will make the main technology of Roots vacuum pumps


There has been a significant change in performance.


4. The execution standard of this pump is JB/T 7674-2005

Instructions for use:


1、 Preparation before startup:


1. Open the cooling water inlet valve and check if the cooling water is unobstructed.


2. When stopping the pump, the lubricating oil on the front and rear covers should be filled up to ensure that the oil level can be maintained at more than half of the position after the pump is running. The lubricating oil should be used with vacuum pump 1.


3. Corresponding measures must be taken when used in the following situations:


a) When there is dust or particles in the inhaled gas, a dust collector or filter should be installed in front of the suction port:


b) If the inhaled gas contains corrosiveness, neutralization measures must be taken:


c) If there is a small amount of water vapor in the inhaled gas and the front stage pump used is an oil sealed mechanical pump, the oil sealed mechanical pump should be equipped with a gas ballast device. When there is too much water vapor, a condenser must be installed.


2、 Start program:


1. Start the front stage pump


2. Open the valve on the pre extraction bypass pipeline of the front stage pump and the valve on the intake and exhaust pipeline of the Roots vacuum pump.


3. After the pressure in the system reaches the allowable inlet pressure of the Roots vacuum pump, close the valve on the bypass pipeline and start the Roots vacuum pump. If there is no bypass pipeline or valve, start the Roots vacuum pump after the pressure in the system reaches the allowable inlet pressure of the Roots vacuum pump. If an automatic control device is used, the starting process can be automated.


4. According to the actual situation of the vacuum system, if it is a small sealing system, the Roots vacuum pump can be started shortly after starting the front stage pump. If it is a large vacuum system, the Roots vacuum pump should be started after the front pump reaches the allowable inlet pressure of the Roots vacuum pump.


3、 Precautions during operation:


1. During operation, it is necessary to strictly follow the technical requirements of the Roots vacuum pump. Under normal circumstances, the inlet pressure of the Roots pump should be lower than 1300Pa. If the pump operates for a long time beyond the maximum allowable inlet pressure, it may also malfunction due to overheating.


2. Pay attention to the load of the motor and the temperature rise of various parts of the pump. Under normal operation, the maximum temperature rise of the pump should not exceed 40oC, and the maximum temperature should not exceed 80oC.


3. There should be no abnormal vibration or noise during operation.


4. If there is motor overload, excessive temperature rise, abnormal sound, vibration, etc. during operation, the machine should be immediately stopped to check the cause and eliminate the fault.


4、 Shutdown Procedure


1. Close the intake valve of the Roots vacuum pump.


2. Stop the Roots vacuum pump step by step, and finally stop the previous stage pump. It is strictly prohibited to make mistakes in the shutdown procedure.


3. At the same time as stopping the front stage pump, immediately inflate the air inlet of the front stage pump.


4. Close the cooling water inlet valve.


5. If it is necessary to stop using for a long time, or to prevent frost cracking in winter, the remaining water in the cooling water jackets of the front and rear covers of the pump must be drained separately.

V. Maintenance and upkeep


1、 Regular inspection


1. Daily inspection:


a) Oil level inspection: Too little oil can cause poor lubrication, and lubricating oil should be replenished in a timely manner.


b) Temperature inspection: Use a thermometer to check the temperature of various parts of the pump.


c) Motor load inspection: measure motor load with power meter or current meter and Voltmeter.


2. Monthly inspection:


Whether the lubricating oil has deteriorated (chemical units must increase it to weekly inspection)
