Mechanical Vacuum Boosters are extensively used in the performance of the vacuum pumps, in low- pressure range, where conventional vacuum pumps have poor volumetric efficiency.
Major advantages Of Mechanical Boosters:
Can be integrated with any installed Vacuum Systems, such as Steam Ejectors, water Ring Pumps, Oil seal Pumps, Water Ejectors etc.
Vacuum Boosters are power efficient.
They provide high pumping speeds even at low pressures.
Boosters increase the vacuum of the process. Vacuum Booster can be used over a wide working pressure range from 100 Torr down to 0.001 Torr (mm of mercury) with suitable arrangement of backup pumps.
Table Below gives rough estimate of how the Boosters give maximum vacuum when installed in combination with various types of Vacuum pumps and Ejectors.
