  2. Vacuum pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_pump

    In the field of oil regeneration and re-refining, vacuum pumps create a low vacuum for oil dehydration and a high vacuum for oil purification. [44] A vacuum may be used to power, or provide assistance to mechanical devices. In hybrid and diesel engine motor vehicles, a pump fitted on the engine (usually on the camshaft) is used to produce a vacuum.

  3. Vacuum ejector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_Ejector

    A vacuum ejector, or simply ejector, or aspirator, is a type of vacuum pump, which produces vacuum by means of the Venturi effect.. In an ejector, a working fluid (liquid or gaseous) flows through a jet nozzle into a tube that first narrows and then expands in cross-sectional area.

    Historic or older homes can bring a lot of charm and details that aren’t available in the standard look of a new build. But they also may come with years of delayed or ignored maintenance hiding ...

  5. Turbomolecular pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbomolecular_pump

    Interior view of a turbomolecular pump. A turbomolecular pump is a type of vacuum pump, superficially similar to a turbopump, used to obtain and maintain high vacuum. [1] [2] These pumps work on the principle that gas molecules can be given momentum in a desired direction by repeated collision with a moving solid surface.

  6. Vacuum sewer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_sewer

    Vacuum technology is based on differential air pressure. Rotary vane vacuum pumps generate an operation pressure of -0.4 to -0.6 bar at the vacuum station, which is also the only element of the vacuum sewerage system that must be supplied with electricity. Interface valves are installed inside the collection chambers. They work pneumatically.

  7. Roughing pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roughing_pump

    The term "roughing pump" derives from the vacuum range it works in, "rough vacuum", above 1x10 −3 torr (0.1 Pa). Pumps that operate in the high vacuum ranges typically don't operate, or only operate inefficiently, at atmospheric pressures , whereas pumps that work efficiently at atmospheric pressure usually cannot produce a vacuum lower than ...

  8. Ion pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_pump

    A noble diode pump is a type of ion pump used in high-vacuum applications that employs both a chemically reactive cathode, such as titanium, and an additional cathode composed of tantalum. The tantalum cathode serves as a high-inertia crystal lattice structure for the reflection and burial of neutrals, increasing pumping effectiveness of inert ...
