Definitions
- the invention relates to a vacuum pump, for example of the turbomolecular pump type or a molecular pump or a combination of both types, in The following also called a friction pump according to the preamble of the first claim.
- Such vacuum pumps usually consist of a number of stages, which can be designed differently and each rotor and corresponding stator parts exhibit. These pump-active parts are in the axial direction of the pumped Gas permeated. For optimal pump properties, such as maximum gas throughput and to achieve maximum compression, the rotating parts circulate at high speed. The drive energy required for this purpose is only partially transformed into kinetic energy. Much of it is called Heat loss released. Further undesirable amounts of heat are released through storage (mechanical losses due to friction in ball bearings or electrical Losses in magnetic bearings) or in the compression of gases. These heat sources lead to disturbing temperature increases in the drive and bearing area and in areas of the pump-active components in which they have adverse effects can. In extreme cases, it can cause the rotor to start up and destroy the Pump come. To avoid overheating of critical components these pumps are equipped with cooling devices.
- Friction pumps of the type described are increasingly being used Processes such as in chemical processes or in semiconductor manufacturing, where large amounts of easily condensable gases are produced.
- the gases to be extracted are from this range to a pressure range in which laminar flow prevails, compressed. That means relatively high pressure in this area large amounts of gas are produced.
- these gases are easily condensable are, which is all the more the case at low temperatures, liquid or Solid deposits to a considerable extent. This can cause corrosion and etching processes, which lead to the destruction of individual components or the entire pump.
- Through the deposition of solid parts especially the very narrow gaps in the area of molecular pumps narrowed even more, what with a decrease in performance or, in the worst case, with the destruction of the pump.
- EP O 352 688 is used to prevent heat transfer from a heated one Part on a cooled part, a thermal impedance element as an additional component placed between the cooled and heated part. This brings the Disadvantage of larger external dimensions. There are also additional Seals and connecting elements necessary, which represent critical components and complicate the setup. These disadvantages multiply when the Thermal separation of several areas of the pump is to be carried out.
- WO-A-9 400 694 describes a vacuum pump in which the high vacuum range and the fore vacuum area have different temperatures.
- DE-A-44 10 903 describes a system with a vacuum pump and one Measuring device, in which vacuum pump and measuring device common devices for Have supply, control, operation and display. The question of different Temperatures in the individual pump areas are irrelevant here.
- the object of the invention is to be able to be used in a wide pressure range
- a vacuum pump of the type of a friction pump in which Liquid and solid deposits are largely excluded and at the same time overheating of those sensitive to higher temperatures Components is avoided.
- the external dimensions of the pump should be maintained and additional critical components can be avoided.
- the three areas are thermally decoupled by the contact areas between them can be minimized by radial and axial free rotations. Those contact surfaces that are still necessary for structural reasons are largely formed by heat-insulating materials.
- the high vacuum area can be independent of the fore vacuum range and the motor and Storage area treated thermally in this way, i.e. controlled, cooled or heated be how it is the respective application and the respective stage of the application process require. The same applies to the fore vacuum area. For example here where, due to the increased pressure, liquid and solid deposits are favored, these can be avoided by specifically increasing the temperature.
- the heat generated in the engine and bearing area due to operation is largely dissipated by cooling, and an uncontrolled or unwanted transition from heat to the other components is avoided.
- the vacuum pump is divided into three areas: the high vacuum area 1, the Forevacuum area 2 and the drive and storage area 3.
- the high vacuum area 1 is in the example shown here as a turbomolecular pump with a rotor and Stator disks 9, 10 formed and provided with a gas inlet 13.
- the fore vacuum area 2 has, for example, a molecular pump of the Holweck pump type on. This consists of rotating cylinder parts 11 and a stator 12 with spiral grooves.
- the gas outlet opening is designated 14.
- the Drive and bearing area 3 essentially houses a drive motor 4 for the shaft 8, on which the rotating components of the high vacuum area and the Forevacuum area and storage facilities for the shaft 8, in the present Example of an axial and a radial magnetic bearing 5 and 6.
- a Another radial passive magnetic bearing 7 is arranged in the high vacuum region 1.
- the high vacuum area 1 can from the drive and storage area 3, e.g. B. by free spins 17, which are in the shaft 8 are thermally insulated. In the places where from constructional For free rotation not possible and contact surfaces not to be avoided these can be formed by materials with low heat conduction. So can e.g. B. between high vacuum area 1 and fore vacuum area 2 to the one with the 18th designated places inserts made of such materials are present as well the locations designated 19 between fore-vacuum region 2 and the drive and Storage area 3.
- the high vacuum area 1 and the drive and storage area 3 can by inserts made of poorly heat-conducting materials, e.g. B. in the wave the point designated 20 are thermally decoupled from each other.
- the high vacuum area is equipped with a cooling device 21 and a heating device 23.
- temperature sensors 25 can the high vacuum area is thermally monitored and the heating or cooling is controlled become.
- Rod-shaped heating elements are used to heat the fore-vacuum area 24 inserted radially from the outside into the housing.
- temperature sensors 26 can the fore-vacuum area is thermally monitored and the heating elements are regulated.
- the engine and bearing area is equipped with a cooling device 22 for removing it heat generated.
