A vacuum pump is a device that
removes gas molecules from a
sealed volume to create a
partial vacuum. The working
principle of a vacuum pump is
based on the principle of
creating a pressure difference
between two connected
spaces. The pump essentially
pumps gas molecules from a
low-pressure area to a high-
pressure area, effectively
creating a vacuum in the low-
pressure area.
There are several types of
vacuum pumps, but they all work
on the same basic principle of
removing gas molecules from a
sealed volume. Some of the most
common types of vacuum pumps
include
Positive displacement
pumps:
These pumps use mechanical
action to trap gas molecules
and move them from the low-
pressure area to the high-
pressure area. Examples of
positive displacement pumps
include rotary vane pumps and
screw pumps.
Momentum transfer pumps:
These pumps use high-speed jets of gas
to transfer momentum to the gas
molecules in the low-pressure area,
which propels them towards the
high-pressure area. Examples of
momentum transfer pumps include
diffusion pumps and turbomolecular
pumps.
