The Factors Affect Vacuum Value of Vacuum Pump Machine

January 22,2026.


The main factors directly affecting the ultimate vacuum degree of a Vacuum Pump Machine include the following aspects:

System Leaks
Leaks are the primary factor limiting the ultimate vacuum. External leaks commonly occur at flange connections with poor sealing, weld cracks, valve failures, etc., while internal leaks may be caused by ruptured cooling water pipelines allowing water to seep into the vacuum chamber. Leaks cause system pressure fluctuations and reduce the ultimate vacuum level.

Vacuum Pump Performance
The type of pump (such as rotary vane pump, Roots pump, molecular pump) and its working condition directly affect pumping speed and ultimate vacuum. High temperatures or contamination with impurities can reduce the pump's pumping speed and ultimate vacuum, so seals need to be replaced regularly and the pump should be maintained.

Cooling System Configuration
The temperature and flow rate of the cooling water directly affect the effectiveness of vapor condensation. The higher the temperature of the cooling water outlet, the lower the vacuum level. It is necessary to reduce the outlet temperature (for example, by increasing water flow or lowering inlet water temperature) to improve vacuum.

Residual Gas in the Container
The composition of residual gas in the container is closely related to the selectivity of the vacuum pump. If the composition of the original gases in the container does not match the pumping speed of the pump, it may limit the ultimate vacuum level.

Piping and Equipment Resistance
A complex piping layout or excessive resistance in demisting devices will reduce vacuum stability. Simplifying pipe design and optimizing equipment configuration can enhance the ultimate vacuum level.
