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.
