Definitions

  • Rapidly rotating vacuum pumps i.e. particularly magnetically supported turbomolecular pumps of the non-displacement type, require a reliable overspeed protection since, due to centrifugal forces, rotational speeds in the overspeed range do not only lead to destruction of the vacuum pump but may also cause considerable danger to persons.
  • the rotor is designed to the effect that its bending-critical counter-rotational resonance frequency is between 3% and a maximum of 30% above the nominal rotational frequency.
  • no active overspeed protection i.e. no direct controlling and limiting of the rotational speed which would exist in addition to the control means for the electric drive motor.
  • the process of setting the bending-critical counter-rotational resonance frequency to a frequency between 3% and a maximum of 30% above the nominal rotational frequency can be performed in various manners.
  • the mass, the geometry and the support of the rotor of the vacuum pump can be changed and adapted in such a manner that the bending-critical counter-rotational resonance frequency will be maximally 30% above the nominal rotational frequency, thus immanently preventing an overspeed.
  • the resonance vibrations at the bending-critical counter-rotational resonance frequency will consume considerable power so that a run-up to a rotational frequency at a level thereabove would be possible only with a massive power reserve.
  • the drive power of the electric drive motor has to be set in a manner allowing it to be completely consumed by the resonance vibrations at a rotational frequency in the range of the bending-critical counter-rotational resonance frequency.
  • the bending-critical frequencies are situated on relatively high frequency levels. For this reason, the bending-critical counter-rotational resonance frequency is especially suited to be utilized for immanent overspeed protection.
  • the rotor of the vacuum pump is supported by a magnetic bearing.
  • a magnetic bearing is to be understood herein as a magnetic bearing with respect to at least one radial degree of freedom.
  • the rotor of a rapidly rotating vacuum pump is magnetically supported with respect to all five degrees of freedom if a magnetic bearing is provided.
  • the magnetic bearing itself will generate radial vibrations of the rotor due to the counterbalancing control. Thereby, particularly also bending-critical vibrations are activated, and it will not be possible for the pump to pass through these vibrations as long as no suitable magnetic-support control algorithm is provided for passing through the bending-critical resonance frequencies.
  • Such a suitable control algorithm is not provided herein.
  • the magnetic-support control algorithm is configured to the effect that, on the basis of the available drive energy, the pump cannot pass through the bending-critical resonance frequencies.
  • the bending-critical counter-rotational resonance frequency is between 5% and 25% of the nominal rotational frequency, and more preferably it is in the range of 20% above the nominal rotational frequency.
  • An interval of about 20% above the nominal rotational frequency will offer sufficient safety from overshoot beyond the rotational frequency in the process of running up the rotor from standstill to the nominal rotational frequency. During run-up, it can thus be avoided that said overshoot will undesirably cause the occurrence of bending-critical counter-rotational resonance frequencies.
  • the bending-critical counter-rotational resonance frequency should be as closely as possible above the nominal rotational frequency, thus obviating the requirement of a rotor design having an unnecessary extent of stability.
  • the rapidly rotating vacuum pump is a vacuum pump of the non-displacement type, e.g. a turbomolecular vacuum pump.
  • the rotational speeds are usually in the range from 10,000 to 100,000 r/min. Rotational speeds and respectively rotational frequencies in such a high range make it especially advisable to use a magnetic bearing for supporting the rotor.
  • the FIGURE shows a so-called Campbell diagram for a rapidly rotating vacuum pump.
  • the resonance frequency f res of the rotor is plotted over the rotational frequency f rot of the rotor.
  • the rapidly rotating vacuum pump herein is a turbomolecular vacuum pump whose rotor is supported completely in a five-axial arrangement by means of a magnetic bearing.
  • the rotor is driven by an electric drive motor and is operated at a constant predetermined nominal rotational frequency f nom .
  • the bending-critical counter-rotational resonance frequency f crit for the rotor of the vacuum pump is substantially 970 Hz.
  • the nominal rotational frequency f nom of the vacuum pump and respectively of the drive motor, the drive motor control unit and the rotor is substantially 800 Hz.
  • the bending-critical counter-rotational resonance frequency f crit is substantially 21% above the nominal rotational frequency f nom of the vacuum pump.
  • the drive power of the electric motor is limited in such a manner that it will be completely consumed by the counter-rotational resonance frequencies in case that the rotational frequency of the rotor should happen to reach the bending-critical counter-rotational resonance frequency f crit .
  • the vacuum pump does not comprise any further active overspeed protection, i.e. it does not comprise a second rotational-speed control loop provided in addition to the rotational-speed control loop of the motor control.
  • the curve 16 representing the bending-critical counter-rotational resonance frequency cannot be influenced by a corresponding setting of the control parameters of the magnetic bearing of the vacuum pump.
  • the control parameters of the magnetic bearing are provided to the effect that the bending-critical resonance frequencies will be activated strongly enough to exclude that an operation with the drive energy available would allow the pump to pass through the bending-critical resonance frequencies.
  • the control parameters for the magnetic bearings should be relatively soft.
