Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of vacuum techniques. More specifically, it relates to a pumping system comprising at least one lug pump, as well as a method of pumping by means of this pumping system.
  • the speed of rotation of the pump plays a very important role, by defining the operation of the pump during the various successive phases during the emptying of the vacuum chamber.
  • the electrical power required in the first pumping phases when the suction pressure is between atmospheric pressure and approximately 100 mbar, that is to say during operation at high mass flow, would be very high if the rotation speed of the pump could not be reduced.
  • variable speed drive which allows the speed or consequently the power to be reduced or increased according to different criteria such as pressure, maximum current, torque limit, temperature, etc. But during periods of operation at reduced rotational speed there are drops in flow at high pressure, the flow being proportional to the rotational speed. Also, the variation of speed by frequency converter imposes an additional cost and size.
  • the state of the art concerning vacuum pump systems which aim to improve the final vacuum and increase the flow rate typically includes booster pumps of the Roots type arranged upstream of the main dry pumps.
  • This type of system is bulky, works either with bypass valves presenting reliability problems, or by using means of measurement, control, adjustment or control.
  • these means of control, adjustment or slaving must be actively controlled, which necessarily results in an increase in the number of system components, its complexity and its cost.
  • the patent application US 2003/0068233 A1 offers a vacuum pumping system which includes a main pump, the discharge of which is connected to an exhaust duct provided with a non-return valve. An auxiliary pump is also provided, downstream of the main pump. This auxiliary pump is connected in parallel with the non-return valve.
  • Vacuum pumping systems comprising a main pump and an auxiliary pump connected in parallel with a non-return valve are also known from the documents.
  • WO 2014/012896 A2 JP 2007 100562 A , EP 1,243,795 A1 , DE 88 16 875 U1 and DE 38 42 886 A1 .
  • the present invention aims to allow obtaining a better vacuum than that (of the order of 0.01 mbar) that a single lug pump is capable of generating in a vacuum enclosure.
  • Another object of the present invention is to allow a draining flow rate which is greater at low pressure to be obtained than that which can be obtained using a single pin pump during a pumping operation to create a vacuum. in an empty enclosure.
  • the present invention also aims to allow a reduction in the electrical energy necessary for emptying a vacuum enclosure and maintaining the vacuum, as well as a drop in the temperature of the outlet gases.
  • a pumping system to generate a vacuum, comprising a main vacuum pump which is a lug pump having a gas inlet suction connected to a vacuum enclosure and a gas outlet discharge leading into a gas discharge duct to a gas exhaust outlet outside the pumping system.
  • the pumping system also comprises a non-return valve positioned between the gas outlet discharge and the gas exhaust outlet, as well as an auxiliary vacuum pump which has its motor and which is connected in parallel with the non-return valve. -return.
  • the auxiliary vacuum pump is arranged to start at the same time as the main vacuum pump and to pump all the time that the main vacuum pump pumps the gases contained in the vacuum enclosure and all the time that the main vacuum pump maintains a defined pressure in the vacuum enclosure.
  • the auxiliary vacuum pump can be of different types, including another lug pump, a screw type dry pump, a multi-stage Roots type pump, a membrane pump, a dry vane pump, a vane pump lubricated;
  • the auxiliary pump is operated continuously all the time that the main vacuum pump with lugs empties the vacuum enclosure, but also all the time that the main vacuum pump with lugs maintains a pressure defined (eg final vacuum) in the enclosure by evacuating the gases by its discharge.
  • a pressure defined eg final vacuum
  • the coupling of the main vacuum pump with lugs and of the auxiliary pump can be done without the need for specific measurements or devices (eg pressure, temperature, current sensors , etc.), neither servos, nor data management and without calculation. Consequently, the pumping system suitable for implementing the pumping method according to the present invention may comprise only a minimum number of components, be very simple and cost considerably less, compared with existing systems.
  • the main lug vacuum pump can operate at a single constant speed, that of the electrical network, or else rotate at variable speeds according to its own operating mode. Consequently, the complexity and the cost of the pumping system suitable for implementing the pumping method according to the present invention can be further reduced.
  • the auxiliary pump integrated in the pumping system can always operate according to the pumping method according to the invention without undergoing mechanical damage. Its dimensioning is conditioned by a minimum energy consumption for the operation of the device. Its nominal flow rate is chosen according to the volume of the exhaust duct between the main lug vacuum pump and the non-return valve. This flow rate can advantageously be from 1/500 to 1/20 of the nominal flow rate of the main lug vacuum pump, but can also be lower or higher than these values, in particular from 1/500 to 1/10 or even 1 / 500 to 1 / 5u nominal flow rate of the main vacuum pump.
  • the non-return valve placed in the duct downstream from the main lug vacuum pump can for example be a standard element available commercially, but it is also conceivable to design an element dedicated to the specific application. It is sized according to the nominal flow rate of the main lug vacuum pump. In particular, provision is made for the non-return valve to close when the suction pressure of the main lug vacuum pump is between 500 mbar absolute and the final vacuum (eg 100 mbar).
  • the auxiliary pump can be made of materials and / or with coatings with high chemical resistance to the substances and gases commonly used in the semiconductor industry.
  • the auxiliary pump is preferably small.
  • the auxiliary vacuum pump always pumps in the volume between the gas outlet discharge of the main vacuum pump with lugs and the non-return valve.
  • the sizing of the auxiliary vacuum pump aims for a minimum energy consumption of its motor. Its nominal flow rate is chosen according to the flow rate of the main vacuum pump with lugs, but also taking into account the volume that the gas evacuation pipe defines between the main vacuum pump and the non-return valve. This flow can be from 1/500 to 1/20 of the nominal flow rate of the main lug vacuum pump, but can also be lower or higher than these values.
  • the pressure is high, for example equal to atmospheric pressure. Due to the compression in the main lug vacuum pump, the pressure of the gases discharged at its outlet is higher than atmospheric pressure (if the gases at the outlet of the main pump are discharged directly to the atmosphere) or higher than the pressure at the inlet of another device connected downstream. This causes the non-return valve to open.
  • the pressure at the outlet of the main lug vacuum pump becomes that at the inlet of the auxiliary vacuum pump, that of its outlet always being the pressure in the duct after the non-return valve.
  • main lug vacuum pump consumes less and less energy for compression and produces less and less compression heat.
  • the figure 1 shows a pumping system SP for generating a vacuum, which is suitable for implementing a pumping method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • This pumping system SP comprises an enclosure 1, which is connected to the suction 2 of a main vacuum pump constituted by a lug pump 3.
  • the gas outlet discharge from the main lug vacuum pump 3 is connected to a discharge pipe 5.
  • a discharge check valve 6 is placed in the discharge pipe 5, which after this non-return valve continues into the gas outlet pipe 8.
  • the non-return valve 6, when 'it is closed, allows the formation of a volume 4, comprised between the gas outlet discharge from the main lug vacuum pump 3 and itself.
  • the pumping system SP also includes the auxiliary vacuum pump 7, connected in parallel to the non-return valve 6.
  • the suction of the auxiliary vacuum pump is connected to the volume 4 of the evacuation duct 5 and its discharge is connected to the conduit 8.
  • the auxiliary vacuum pump 7 is also started.
  • the main lug vacuum pump 3 draws the gases into the enclosure 1 through the conduit 2 connected to its inlet and compresses them to then discharge them on its outlet into the exhaust conduit 5 by the non-return valve 6
  • the closing pressure of the non-return valve 6 is reached, it closes.
  • the pumping of the auxiliary vacuum pump 7 gradually lowers the pressure in the volume 4 to the value of its limit pressure.
  • the power consumed by the main lug vacuum pump 3 gradually decreases. This occurs in a short time, for example for a certain cycle in 5 to 10 seconds depending on the ratio between the volume 4 and the nominal flow rate of the auxiliary vacuum pump 7, but can also last longer.
  • the auxiliary vacuum pump 7 can be another lug pump, a screw type dry pump, a multi-stage Roots pump, a membrane pump, a vane dry pump, a lubricated paddles or even an ejector.
  • the ejector can be either a "simple" ejector in the sense that the flow rate of its propellant gas comes from a distribution network on the industrial site, or equipped with a compressor which supplies the ejector the propellant gas flow at the pressure necessary for its operation. More specifically, this compressor can be driven by the main pump or, alternatively or by addition, independently, independent of the main pump. This compressor can draw atmospheric air or gases into the gas outlet pipe after the non-return valve. The presence of such a compressor makes the pump system independent of a source of compressed gas, which can respond to certain industrial environments.
  • the figure 2 shows an SPP pumping system suitable for implementing a pumping process not in accordance with the present invention.
  • the system shown in figure 2 shows the piloted pumping system SPP, further comprising suitable sensors 11, 12, 13 which control either the motor current (sensor 11) of the main lug vacuum pump 3, or the pressure (sensor 13) of the gases in the volume of the outlet pipe of the main lug vacuum pump, limited by the non-return valve 6, i.e. the temperature (sensor 12) of the gases in the volume of the outlet pipe of the main lug vacuum pump, limited by the non-return valve 6, a combination of these parameters.
  • the main lug vacuum pump 3 begins to pump the gases from the vacuum enclosure 1
  • parameters such as the current of its motor, the temperature and the pressure of the gases in the volume of the outlet duct 4 begin to change and reach threshold values detected by the sensors. After a delay, this causes the auxiliary vacuum pump to start.
  • these parameters return to the initial ranges (outside the setpoints) with a delay, the auxiliary vacuum pump is stopped.
  • the auxiliary vacuum pump can also be of the lug type, of the screw dry type, of the multi-stage Roots, of the membrane, of the paddle dryer, of the lubricated paddles or of an ejector (without or with compressor supplying its propellant gas), such as in the embodiment of the invention of the figure 1 .
