A VACUUM PRIMER FINDING THE RIGHT DESIGN From ventilating our homes to making the production of microchips possible, vacuums play a huge role in modern life. This wide range of uses means there’s an equally wide variety of vacuum pumps and blowers to choose from. If your system needs one of these units, it’s important to find the right fit. Here’s an overview on how to match the perfect vacuum to any application. These units are ideal for processes requiring low to medium vacuum pressure. Two designs fall into this category: positive displacement (PD) and centrifugal blowers. PD units rely on expanding and contracting chambers to trap and release air or natural gas, not unlike human lungs. In general, they are capable of reaching up to a 28” Gauge Vacuum (HgV) and can maintain a constant flow despite changes in pressure. Meanwhile, centrifugal blowers use centrifugal force to create a vacuum. This more simplistic design makes them far easier to maintain, as they have fewer moving parts to worry about. They also deliver larger suction volumes than PD pumps. For processes requiring less than a 14” HgV, these are a highly efficient option. BLOWERS
sending out single-sentence messages in all lowercase letters with nary an emotion.
We get it; you’re busy. But it’s worth taking an extra moment of your time to craft an email that carries the human element as well. It’s important to take a professional tone and to keep communication brief, but you can still write, to some degree, like you talk. This will show recipients that you take communicating with them seriously.
3. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, REPLY TO THE EMAILS YOU RECEIVE.
Again, you’re busy, and you’ve got to prioritize your work, but consistently ignoring emails is a clear sign of negligence and will make you unpopular among your coworkers. If you don’t have time to think of a clear answer, a simple confirmation that you received the message goes a long way. While you can safely ignore all those companywide filler emails you receive each week, you need to show your coworkers and contacts that you’re willing to put in a little effort and that you’re on top of your responsibilities.

VACUUM PUMPS
When truly high levels of vacuum pressure are needed, these are the units that deliver. At the lower end of the spectrum, rotary vane pumps use a single, offset rotor to gradually compress air as it moves towards the discharge port. They are ideal for applications requiring no more than 23–25” HgV. For applications requiring a contact- and oil-free compression, screw pumps are an ideal solution, as they are capable of achieving a maximum of 28–29” HgV. But if you are looking for the heaviest lifters on the market, you’ll need a liquid ring vacuum pump. By rotating service liquid concentrically through an eccentrically mounted impeller, these units can reach a staggering 29.9” HgV.
