Vacuum Boosters

vacuum boosters

Vacuum boosters are a critical component in enhancing vacuum pump performance, allowing for faster operation and achieving deeper vacuum levels. These devices are essential for applications that require high-capacity gas volumes at high vacuum, specifically in the 50 Torr to micron range. Vacuum boosters are versatile, capable of integration with all types of vacuum pumps, and are designed to operate at noise levels of 82 dB(A) or less in blank-off conditions, excluding motor and background noise.


Key Features and Construction

Vacuum boosters are constructed using robust materials to ensure durability and reliability in various industrial applications. The standard construction includes:

  • Housing and End Plates: Made from cast iron.
  • Port Fittings: Constructed from cast iron.
  • Rotors and Shafts: Fabricated from ductile iron.

For specialized needs, vacuum boosters can be made from materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, and Bi-Protec, catering to specific environmental and operational requirements.


Vacuum Booster Applications

Vacuum boosters are widely used across multiple industries, providing significant benefits in terms of efficiency and performance enhancement. Key applications include:

  • Transformer Oil Drying: Enhancing the drying process by achieving lower moisture levels in transformer oils.
  • Vacuum Furnaces: Improving the efficiency of vacuum furnaces used in various heat treatment processes.
  • Vapor Coating: Facilitating the vapor deposition process by maintaining optimal vacuum conditions.
  • Vacuum Packaging: Ensuring the integrity and longevity of packaged goods by providing a consistent vacuum.
  • Vapor Recovery: Assisting in the recovery of valuable vapors in industrial processes.
  • Chemical Processing: Enhancing the efficiency and safety of chemical manufacturing operations.
  • Dryers and Evaporators: Improving the performance of drying and evaporation systems by providing higher vacuum levels.

Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumping System

Booster / Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumping System

Relevant provides booster / liquid ring vacuum pumping systems in two and three-stage systems, complete with instrumentation, condensers, partial or complete sealant liquid recovery and recirculation, piping and valves.  The systems are ideal for pumping wet gas mixtures at low pressures, oil-filled systems to avoid problems with corrosive contaminants as well as sealant liquid vapor pressures at high temperatures. Process liquid-filled systems prevent contamination of process gases with water or oil.

Booster Rotary Piston Vacuum Pumping System

Booster / Rotary Piston Vacuum Pumping Systems

Booster / rotary piston vacuum pumping systems are able to pump high volumes at very low pressures. High-capacity dry rotary lobe vacuum boosters are matched to a smaller rotary piston vacuum pump for continuous operation below 1 Torr (1.3 mbar a), the vacuum booster can increase pumping speed by a factor of 10 or more.  

Pump performance ranges 200-12,000 CFM (320-20,388 m3/h) with ultimate vacuum levels as low as 0.2 microns. Relevant can offer conventional systems with direct driven or V-belt driven boosters as well as compact systems with close-coupled boosters.
