Abstract: A multi-stage vacuum pump comprising a stator defining multiple pumping chambers is discussed. The stator comprises a plurality of transfer channels for providing a fluid passage from an outlet port of one of the plurality of pumping chambers to an inlet port of a subsequent pumping chamber. Some of the transfer channels comprise two side channel sections on opposing sides of the stator. One of the transfer channels comprises a single side channel section on one side of the stator. The vacuum pump further comprises a gas ballast inlet channel arranged on an other side of the stator to the one side of the stator.

Abstract: The present invention is a scroll pump comprising two intermeshing scrolls arranged so that on relative orbital movement of the scrolls gas is pumped from an inlet to an outlet. The scrolls have a plurality of successive scroll wraps I, II, II, IV, V, VI between the inlet and the outlet. There is a single-start condition in which fluid is pumped from the inlet to the outlet along a single flow path extending through each of the scroll wraps in succession and a multi-start condition in which fluid is pumped from the inlet along a plurality of flow paths which extend in parallel through radially adjacent scroll wraps and converge to a single flow path prior to the outlet. A valve arrangement is operable for switching the scroll pump between the single-start and the multi-start conditions.

Abstract: A scroll vacuum pump has an axially extending drive shaft with an eccentric shaft portion, such that rotation of the drive shaft imparts an orbiting motion to an orbiting scroll relative to a fixed scroll. An axial adjustment mechanism has a plurality of adjustment members angularly spaced around the drive shaft and extending through the pump housing towards the orbiting scroll, the plurality of adjustment members each being configured to provide an independently adjustable axial position of the orbiting scroll. A plurality of sealing means isolate the plurality of adjustment members from a pump chamber, the plurality of sealing means extending around each of the plurality of adjustment members and comprising at least one flexible portion such that one end of the sealing means may orbit relative to a fixed other end of the sealing means.

Abstract: A scroll pump includes an inlet and an outlet, a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll intermeshed with each other, wherein the fixed scroll and orbiting scroll define a space therebetween. The scroll pump further includes a biasing apparatus configured to bias the orbiting scroll against the fixed scroll, a fluid recirculation channel which extends from the space to the inlet through either the fixed scroll or the orbiting scroll, and a fluid recirculation valve disposed in the fluid recirculation channel. The fluid recirculation valve is configured to permit flow of fluid from the space to the inlet through the fluid recirculation channel or to block flow of fluid through the fluid recirculation channel. The fluid recirculation valve is configured to switch from a closed state to an open state when a pressure differential across the fluid recirculation valve is equal to or exceeds a certain threshold value.

Abstract: The invention provides a crank sleeve for a scroll pump. The crank sleeve has a longitudinal axis and is configured to provide a radially extending crank offset for imparting an orbital path on an orbital scroll of the scroll pump. The crank sleeve further comprises an integrally formed counterbalance for reducing pump vibration extending radially in a direction substantially opposite to the crank offset.
