Rotary Lobe Vacuum Booster
Panda
WV 0500-2000
Panda WV 1000
Description
Panda vacuum boosters are dryrunning and used together with
backing pumps in all rough and
fine vacuum applications where
high pumping speeds are required.
Panda vacuum boosters work
completely contact-free and
without seal fluids such as oil or
water in the working chamber.
Thanks to the large selection of
design sizes, the suction capacity
and ultimate pressure can be
designed optimally in economic
terms, and matched exactly to the
process conditions.
Features and Options
The high volumetric efficiency is
a further factor that increases the
economy of operation.
Panda vacuum boosters are safe
to operate due to the sturdy, tried
and tested design. The integrated
bypass valve makes operation
possible from atmospheric pressure
to ultimate vacuum.
Thanks to variable, horizontal or
vertical pumping direction, the
Panda is application oriented.

Operating Principle
Function of the bypass valve
Applications
Panda vacuum boosters work with two
rotary lobes arranged parallel and
rotating in opposite directions of
rotation.
During the contact free rolling process,
the conveyed volume is separated
off on the inlet side between lobe
and housing and then pumped to the
pressure side. No lubricants or
sealants are required in the pumping
chamber for the contact free operation.
Panda vacuum boosters have a bypass
valve fitted as a standard feature
which limits the differential pressure
between the inlet and the outlet.
The bypass valve consists of a
connection between inlet and pressure
sides of the Panda, which is located
outside of the conveying chamber.
A mechanical valve is built into this
connection and opens when the pressure
difference is exceeding the determined
maximum value. This allows that part of
the pump gas to be returned to the inlet.
This bypass valve allows the operation
of the vacuum booster together with the
backing pump at atmospheric pressure,
avoiding any overload of the pump or
the motor. The main advantage is to
allow the booster to cycle frequently
between higher and lower inlet pressures
without turning the motor off.
Panda vacuum boosters are used
together with other vacuum pumps
(backing pumps) in vacuum systems or
vacuum pump groups.
Oil-lubricated rotary vane vacuum
pumps of the R 5 series or COBRA dry
screw vacuum pumps are suitable as
backing pumps. Ideal applications
include those where high speed
evacuations to low ultimate pressures
are required in a frequent cycle.

A = Bypass valve cracking point - Dependant
on differential pressure of valve and the
volumetric ratio (V1/V2) (booster/pump).
B = Flow @ atmospheric pressure - Dependant
primarily on backing pump capacity.
C = Nominal flow of booster - Dependant
primarily on the displacement of the
booster and the capacity of the backing
pump selected.
D = Ultimate pressure - Dependant primarily
on the ultimate pressure of the vacuum
pump selected and the volumetric ratio.

application of vacuum boosters.
