OPERATION

Diagram of pump inlet stage showing gas entering through slot (D) and expanding in compartment (C) delimited by vanes (A) and (B).

Inlet

Gas is taken in through slot (D) and then expands in compartment (C), which is delimited by vanes (A) and (B): this marks the beginning of the intake stage.

Diagram of pump intake stage showing new position of vanes (A) and (B) ensuring compartment (C) is at maximum volume.

The new position of vanes (A) and (B) ensures that compartment (C) is at maximum volume. In particular, vane (A) cuts off communication between compartment (C) and slot (D) to complete the intake stage.

Diagram of pump compression stage showing compartment (C) reducing in volume and gas pressure increasing.

Compression

Compartment (C) reduces in volume and gas pressure increases: the compression stage thus begins.
