Roots Vacuum Pump And Roots Blower Difference

Between

Vacuum pump equipment has been widely used in electric power, sewage treatment, environmental
protection, chemical industry, steel, building materials, pesticides, pharmaceuticals and other industries.

In recent years, the demand of Roots vacuum pump (negative pressure roots blower) is particularly high in
Online Moreover,
some countries and regions, so it is of strategic significance to seize these markets. Inquiry roots
vacuum pump has been tested in petroleum, chemical, plastic, pesticide, steam turbine rotor dynamic
balance, aerospace space simulation and other devices for a long time, so it should be vigorously promoted
and applied in China. It is also widely used in petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, textile and other industries.

Since roots vacuum pump is widely used, the following EVP vacuum pump manufacturers
(https://www.evpvacuum.com/water-ring-vacuum-pump-factory.html) will introduce the following concepts
and precautions in use:

1、 Concept of Roots vacuum pump and its difference with roots blower

https://www.evpvacuum.com/roots-vacuum-pump-and-roots-blower-difference-between.html 3/12
2/27/22, 3:53 AM roots vacuum pump and roots blower difference between- Vacuum Pump - EVP Vacuum Solution!

Roots vacuum pump is a kind of rotary positive displacement vacuum pump. Its structure is evolved from
roots blower. It is mostly used in Roots vacuum unit to improve pumping speed and vacuum degree of front
stage pump. In fact, the structure and principle of Roots vacuum pump and roots blower are the same.
Roots blower is used for positive pressure condition, while roots vacuum pump is used for negative pressure
condition. In structure, the two main machines are the same, but there are slight differences in inlet and
outlet. Roots blower is generally connected with its exhaust outlet, while roots vacuum pump is connected
with its suction inlet The Conduit.

2、Roots vacuum pump working principle :

Roots vacuum pump is a kind of vacuum pump without internal compression, usually the compression ratio
is very low, so the high and medium vacuum pump needs the front stage pump. It is a vacuum pump that
moves the gas by pushing a pair of blade shaped rotors in the pump cavity synchronously and reversely.

Roots vacuum pump (https://www.evpvacuum.com/p-en-70-ZJ_Roots_Vacuum_Pump.html) is a kind of

mechanical vacuum pump with a pair of synchronous and high-speed rotating sole rotors. The pump can
not be pumped separately, and the front stage needs oil seal and water ring to discharge air directly.

Its structure and working principle are similar to roots blower. When it works, its suction port is connected
with the vacuum container or main pump of vacuum system. There is no contact between the rotor and the
rotor, or between the rotor and the pump shell of the vacuum pump, and the clearance is generally 0.1-0.8
mm; oil lubrication is not required. The rotor profile includes arc, involute and cycloid. Involute rotor pump
has high volume utilization rate and easy to ensure machining accuracy, so involute type is used for rotor
profile. The rotary speed of Roots vacuum pump can be as high as 3450 ~ 4100 rpm; the pumping rate is 30
~ 10000 L / S (1 L = 10-3 m3); the limit vacuum is 6.5 × 102 PA for single stage and 1 × 103 PA for double
stage.

Roots blower schematic diagram

The limit vacuum of roots pump depends not only on the structure and manufacturing accuracy of the pump
itself, but also on the limit vacuum of the previous stage pump. In order to improve the limit vacuum degree
of the pump, roots pump can be used in series. The working principle of roots pump is similar to roots
blower. Due to the continuous rotation of the rotor, the extracted gas is drawn into the space V0 between the
rotor and the pump shell from the air inlet, and then discharged through the exhaust port. Because the V0
space is completely closed after suction, there is no compression and expansion in the pump chamber.
However, when the top of the rotor turns around the edge of the exhaust port and the V0 space is
connected with the exhaust side, a part of the gas will recoil into the space V0 due to the high gas pressure
on the exhaust side, which makes the gas pressure suddenly increase. When the rotor continues to rotate,
the gas is discharged from the pump. In the pump cavity of roots pump, there are two “8” shaped rotors
installed vertically on a pair of parallel shafts, and a pair of gear belts with transmission ratio of 1 act in the
opposite synchronous rotation motion. There is a certain gap between the rotors and the inner wall of the
pump shell, which can realize high speed operation.

The basic structure and principle of Roots blower (https://www.evpvacuum.com/zg-series-roots-blower.html)

and roots vacuum pump are similar, but roots vacuum pump and roots blower are different. Roots vacuum
pump is used for suction and is often used for negative pressure environment, while Roots fan is used for
blowing air, which is usually used for positive pressure environment. Therefore, for roots equipment, their
inlet and outlet are opposite. One pressure gauge is positive pressure gauge, the other is negative pressure
pressure gauge, That is to say, they are essentially the same, but the price of Roots vacuum pump is slightly
higher than that of Roots blower!

3、 Roots vacuum pump Characteristics :

Roots vacuum pump has the advantages of fast start-up, low power consumption, low operation and
maintenance costs, high pumping speed and high efficiency. It is not sensitive to a small amount of water
vapor and dust in the extracted gas. It has a large pumping rate in the pressure range of 100-1 PA, which
can quickly remove the gas suddenly released. This pressure range is just between oil sealed mechanical
vacuum pump and diffusion pump. Therefore, it is often connected in series between the diffusion pump and
the oil sealed mechanical vacuum pump, which is used to increase the pumping volume in the middle
pressure range. At this time, it is also known as the mechanical booster pump.

Roots vacuum pump (https://www.evpvacuum.com/Roots_Vacuum_Pump.html) is widely used in smelting,

degassing, rolling in vacuum metallurgy, vacuum distillation, vacuum concentration and vacuum drying in
chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries. Vacuum pump accessories for vacuum pump noise control,
vacuum pump muffler.

4、 Precautions when using roots vacuum pump:

1. Roots vacuum pump must be equipped with the front stage pump, not used alone.

2. Roots vacuum pump is mostly used in Roots vacuum unit, its function is to improve pumping speed and
vacuum degree of the front stage pump.

3. If the vacuum degree of Roots vacuum pump is reduced during use, it is necessary to check whether the
clearance between the rotors of Roots vacuum pump has changed. If the rotor clearance of Roots vacuum
pump becomes larger, it is necessary to replace roots vacuum pump.

4. When choosing roots vacuum pump, attention should be paid to the sealing mode of vulnerable parts of
Roots vacuum pump. Generally, roots vacuum pump adopts mechanical seal, which can effectively improve
the working efficiency of Roots vacuum pump.

5、 The obvious difference between Roots blower and roots vacuum pump is that roots blower is used for
positive pressure air supply, while roots vacuum pump is used for negative pressure suction.

According to the different structure and vacuum degree, roots vacuum pump can be divided into ordinary
roots vacuum pump with medium and high vacuum degree and rough vacuum roots vacuum pump with
direct exhaust. The former needs to be used together with the front stage pump to ensure that the pressure
difference is within 2kpa-10kpa. If the pressure difference is too large, the compression ratio will increase,
the power will increase and the thermal expansion will cause the motor overload or the rotor thermal
expansion locking; the latter can make the equipment adapt to the pressure difference of up to 88kpa by
Online
increasing the structural clearance and equipping with air cooling or water cooling at Inquiry
the same time, In other
words, the so-called direct exhaust atmosphere, due to the large gap, the vacuum degree is far less than
the former.

Therefore, roots blower can be used instead of Roots vacuum pump in some temporary low vacuum
environment (roots vacuum pump is connected to the system by inlet, and the system is pumped by the
inlet; roots blower is connected with the system, and the exhaust port is used to supply air to the system).
However, it is only limited to the rough vacuum environment, and can not be applied to vacuum or other
occasions with high requirements.

However, on the contrary, no one is willing to replace roots blower (https://www.evpvacuum.com/p-en-158-

SSR_Roots_type_Blowers.html)with roots vacuum pump in practical application. On the one hand, the price
of Roots vacuum pump is much higher than that of Roots blower due to the large difference in cost
performance; on the other hand, ordinary roots vacuum pump, as mentioned above, needs to be used
together with the previous stage pump, which can not be started under normal pressure, so it is impossible
to use it.
