The Xin'anjiang ZJC/ZJP series Roots vacuum pump is a positive displacement vacuum pump. It utilizes a pair of figure-eight rotors rotating in opposite directions at a constant speed within the pump casing, maintaining a certain gap, to generate suction and exhaust.
The biggest advantage of the ZJC/ZJP Roots vacuum pump is its high pumping speed at relatively low inlet pressures. However, it cannot be used alone; a backing vacuum pump must be connected in series. The Roots vacuum pump can only begin operation after the pressure in the system being evacuated has been reduced to the allowable pressure of the Roots vacuum pump by the backing pump. Furthermore, under normal circumstances, the Roots vacuum pump should not operate under high pressure differentials, otherwise it will overload and overheat, resulting in damage. Therefore, it is crucial to select an appropriate backing pump and install necessary protective equipment when using a Roots vacuum pump. It is particularly important to note that when the Roots pump has undergone anti-corrosion treatment, its backing pump can be a water jet vacuum pump or a corrosion-resistant water ring vacuum pump, capable of pumping corrosive gases containing large amounts of water vapor.
