In such a two-stage screw vacuum pump, the suction pressure of the pre-stage pump 22 in the steady operation state is
It reaches 10 -2 to 10 -3 torr and the pressure in the intermediate passage 23 (this is the back pressure of the front stage pump 22 and the rear stage pump 24
Is also about 1 to 20 torr, and the discharge pressure of the post-stage pump 24 is atmospheric pressure. Therefore, the volume of the gas sucked into the front stage pump 22 is compressed to 1/100 or less in the intermediate passage 23. Therefore, the pre-stage pump 22 that sucks a lean gas with a low suction pressure
Increases the exhaust speed so that more gas can be taken in. On the other hand, the post-stage pump 24 needs only to exhaust a small amount of gas, and in order to reduce the overall size, the front-stage pump 2
The pumping speed is as small as 15 to 70% of 2.

Therefore, when the front and rear stage pumps 22 and 24 are started from the atmospheric pressure by one driving machine 25, the gas discharged from the rear stage pump 24 is larger than the amount of gas discharged from the front stage pump 22 to the intermediate passage 23. Since the amount is small, the pressure in the intermediate passage 23 rises above atmospheric pressure, and the front and rear stage pumps 22,
24, the driving torque is remarkably increased. Further, the compression heat generated at that time causes an abnormal temperature rise, which may damage each member. This is the front and rear pump 22,
The same applies when 24 is driven by separate driving machines.

Further, an open / close valve is provided which opens when the intermediate pressure in the intermediate passage 23 rises due to intake of atmospheric pressure.
There is known a technique in which the atmosphere of No. 3 is opened to the atmosphere or is discharged to the discharge pipe of the post-stage pump 24 (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-7268, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-29259). However, in this known technique, since the discharge destination is the atmospheric pressure, the pressure in the intermediate passage 23 cannot be made equal to or lower than the atmospheric pressure, so that the effect of reducing the drive torque is not sufficient.

In the two-stage screw vacuum pump constructed as described above, the evacuation speed of the latter-stage pump is higher than that of the former-stage pump. Therefore, the suction fluid volume of the latter stage pump is always larger than the discharge fluid volume of the former stage pump. Therefore, the pressure in the intermediate passage can be suppressed to the atmospheric pressure or lower even if the atmosphere is sucked in at the time of startup or steady operation. As a result, the driving torque is reduced and an abnormal temperature rise due to the compression heat is prevented.
