BRIEF INFORMATION

Vacuum pumps and pressure sensor

➔➔ Electrical vacuum pumps to support or independently generate the vacuum for
the pneumatic brake booster system
➔➔ Applicable for all engine concepts, also for electric motors and hybrid drives
➔➔ HELLA is the market leader and has over 10 years of experience in developing
and manufacturing electrical vacuum pumps

PRODUCT FEATURES

Application
Under certain driving conditions or depending on the engine layout, no vacuum or an insufficient vacuum is supplied to the brake
booster through the intake manifold of the internal combustion engine. The UP 28 variant can support the system by generating an
additional vacuum (support application). The UP 5.0 can provide the pneumatic vacuum supply as a "stand-alone" system. For this,
the pump acts as the sole vacuum source and ensures an adequate supply for the brake booster and any auxiliary consumers.
DESIGN AND FUNCTION
ROTARY VANE COMPRESSOR PRINCIPLE

The vacuum pumps' function is based on the rotary vane compressor principle. The pump contains a rotor that is
off-centre to the pump chamber. The blades set in the rotor slide along the interior wall of the pump chamber.

The volume enclosed by the blades is continuously compressed by rotation. This change in the chamber volume
generates a vacuum causing air to be sucked in by the brake booster through the vacuum pump via the brake
system's pneumatic line system.

SPECIAL FEATURES

➔➔ Engine-independent vacuum support

➔➔ Flexible installation location
➔➔ Dry-running system (no connection to the lubricating oil circuit required and maintenance-free)
➔➔ Further use of conventional brake systems for alternative drive systems, such as hybrid and electric drives
➔➔ Reduction of energy consumption due to demand-based use
➔➔ Support for complying with legal requirements to reduce pollutant emissions
