Technical Brief: How Vacuum Pumps Work
Operating / Installation Instructions:
VP01QRBV Solenoid Controlled Venturi Vacuum Pump
Principles of Operaon
Compressed air is supplied to both normally closed (N.C.)
solenoid valves simultaneously. To create vacuum, energize the
first (vacuum) solenoid valve to allow the compressed air to
flow to the miniature venturi cartridge resulng in
instantaneous vacuum.
To release the part, de-energize the vacuum solenoid while
energizing the blow-off solenoid. Because the blow-off air is at
line pressure, a very powerful blow-off will be created.
Vacuum is produced in a venturi cartridge by forcing
compressed air through a liming orifice (nozzle). As the air
exits the orifice, it expands, increasing in velocity to supersonic
speed before entering the venturi secon (diffuser). This creates
a vacuum at the inlet port, located between the nozzle and
diffuser. T e nozzle and diffuser combine to create a vacuum h
cartridge. The precise fit of the nozzle to the diffuser is crical
to the pump funconing properly.
