Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vakuumpumpanordnung nach dem Oberbegriff des 1. Schutzanspruches.The invention relates to a vacuum pump arrangement according to the preamble of 1. Protection claim.

Vakuumpumpen, bei denen die Erfindung besonders effektiv eingesetzt werden kann, sind rotierende Pumpen, insbesondere Reibungspumpen. Sie bestehen in der Regel aus einer Anzahl von Stufen, welche unterschiedlich gestaltet sein können und jeweils Rotor- und entsprechende Statorbauteile aufweisen. Diese pumpaktiven Bauteile werden von dem zu fördernden Gas durchsetzt. Um optimale Pumpeigenschaften, wie maximalen Gasdurchsatz und maximale Kompression, zu erreichen, müssen die rotierenden Teile mit hoher Geschwindigkeit umlaufen. Die zu diesem Zweck benötigte Antriebsenergie wird nur zum Teil in kinetische Energie verwandelt. Ein großer Teil davon wird als Verlustwärme freigesetzt. Weitere unerwünschte Wärmemengen werden frei durch die Lagerung (mechanische Verluste durch Reibung in Kugellagern oder elektrische Verluste in Magnetlagern) und durch Kompression und Reibung der Gase.Vacuum pumps in which the invention can be used particularly effectively can be rotating pumps, especially friction pumps. They exist usually from a number of levels, which are designed differently can and each have rotor and corresponding stator components. This Pump-active components are penetrated by the gas to be pumped. To optimal Pump properties, such as maximum gas throughput and maximum compression, To reach the rotating parts at high speed circulate. The drive energy required for this purpose is only partially in transformed 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) and by compression and friction of the gases.

Zur Erzeugung von Ultrahochvakuum in einem am Ansaugflansch angeschlossenen Rezipienten ist es üblich, diesen auszuheizen. Dadurch wird das erwünschte Vakuum in deutlich kürzerer Zeit erreicht als ohne Heizen.To generate ultra high vacuum in a connected to the intake flange Recipients are usually used to heat them up. This will make the desired Vacuum reached in a significantly shorter time than without heating.

So werden durch den Betrieb der Pumpe und auch durch das Ausheizen des Rezipienten erhebliche Wärmemengen freigesetzt. So by the operation of the pump and also by heating the Recipients released considerable amounts of heat.

Die Menge der von einer Vakuumpumpe geförderten Gase ist unter anderem von der Temperatur im Schöpfraum abhängig. Die Gasmenge ist bei höherer Temperatur pro Volumeneinheit kleiner als bei niedrigerer Temperatur. Es ist also sinnvoll, Maßnahmen zu ergreifen, um die Temperatur im Schöpfraum zu reduzieren. Die Rotortemperatur wird durch die Wärmeableitung zum Pumpengehäuse beeinflusst. Bei einem kühlen Pumpengehäuse und somit einem größeren Temperaturunterschied zwischen Rotor und Gehäuse wird die am Rotor entstehende Wärme besser abgeführt. Dadurch kann die zu pumpende Gasmenge erhöht werden. Eine niedrigere Rotortemperatur wirkt sich zusätzlich positiv auf die Lebensdauer aus.The amount of gases pumped by a vacuum pump is among others depends on the temperature in the scoop chamber. The amount of gas is higher Temperature per unit volume is lower than at lower temperature. It is So it makes sense to take measures to increase the temperature in the scooping chamber to reduce. The rotor temperature becomes due to the heat dissipation to the pump housing affected. With a cool pump housing and thus a larger one The temperature difference between the rotor and the housing is the one that arises on the rotor Heat dissipated better. This allows the amount of gas to be pumped increase. A lower rotor temperature also has a positive effect the lifespan.

Dem Stand der Technik entsprechend, sind Vakuumpumpen üblicher Bauweise direkt mit dem Rezipienten verbunden. Es gibt Konstruktionen mit Kühleinrichtungen, welche im Pumpengehäuse integriert sind. Eine solche starre Lösung fixiert die erhöhten Herstellkosten auch für die Anwendungen, bei denen eine Kühlung an der entsprechenden Stelle nicht erforderlich ist.According to the state of the art, vacuum pumps are of conventional design directly connected to the recipient. There are constructions with cooling devices, which are integrated in the pump housing. Such a rigid solution fixes the increased manufacturing costs even for the applications where one Cooling at the appropriate point is not necessary.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Vakuumpumpe vorzustellen, bei der die während des Betriebs entstehende Wärme effektiv abgeführt werden kann. Die Konstruktion soll einfach und kostengünstig zu verwirklichen und variabel einsetzbar sein.The invention is based on the object of presenting a vacuum pump which effectively dissipates the heat generated during operation can. The construction should be simple and inexpensive to implement and variable be applicable.

Die Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des 1. Schutzanspruches gelöst. Die Ansprüche 2 - 7 stellen weitere Ausgestaltungsformen der Erfindung dar.The task is characterized by the characteristic features of the 1st protection claim solved. Claims 2-7 represent further embodiments of the invention represents.

Die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung ist eine einfache Konstruktion. Sie kann im Prinzip an jede Pumpe sowohl im Hochvakuumbereich als auch im Vorvakuum bereich angebracht werden. Im Bedarfsfalle können mehrere Bauteile zusammen montiert werden. Durch Variation der Temperatur der temperierten Flüssigkeit kann die Temperatur an unterschiedlichen Stellen der Pumpe je nach Erfordernis eingestellt und so die thermischen Verhältnisse optimal an den Einsatzbereich und den Betriebszustand angeglichen werden. Insbesondere besteht die Möglichkeit, zum Beispiel auf der Vorvakuumseite eine höhere Temperatur zu erzeugen, um Kondensationen an dieser Stelle zu verhindern.The arrangement according to the invention is a simple construction. You can in Principle of every pump both in the high vacuum range and in the fore vacuum area to be attached. If necessary, several components can be put together to be assembled. By varying the temperature of the tempered liquid the temperature at different points of the pump depending on the requirement adjusted and so the thermal conditions optimal to the application and the operating status can be adjusted. In particular, there is Possibility, for example, of a higher temperature on the fore-vacuum side generate to prevent condensation at this point.
