In principle, industrial vacuum pumps are merely compressors run with the inlet attached to the vacuum system and the outlet open to exhaust. In smaller sizes, compressors and vacuum pumps are often ...

Careful — a critical tool on your service truck may not be doing its job. How long has it been since you checked the performance of your vacuum pump? Many vacuum pumps in the field are not working ...

Cummins’ 5.9L diesel engines have many wonderful traits, from the simplicity of their design to the durability and reliability of their internal components. However, the powerplants also have parts ...

The last time we had this 470-inch Mopar big block on the dyno, it made 751 hp with Trick Flow heads and a dry sump oiling system. The dry sump setup that we used for those tests worked great, but it ...

Any time the internal piping or components of a refrigeration system are exposed to atmospheric air, they must be completely evacuated before refrigerant can be added into the system. Proper ...

Single-stage and multi-stage vacuum pumps have been around for quite some time, but some designers and engineers remain unsure about when to use one versus the other. For example, which pump is best ...

Three DARPA-funded research teams have completed a foundational study of chip-scale vacuum pumps by inventing three very different approaches to removing air from a sample chamber with a volume of one ...

MEMS and motor control are two things we cover and small vacuum pumps are often controlled by micros so it made sense to talk with Dr. Wei Yang about Honeywell’s latest technology breakthrough, a tiny ...
