Except the above features, ZJP series Roots
Pump has own a relief valve which function is to
control roots pump's differential pressure
between air-inlet and air-outlet. When the
differential pressure is over standard one the
relief valve opens automatically. Because the
pump's inlet-outlet is interlinked, some of gas
returns to the inlet. At this time, the pump
operates in a constant differential pressure.
When the differential pressure is lower than that
of a relief valve, the valve close automatically
(shown as Diagram2)

4. Operating principle
The pump’s operating principle is shown as
Diagram 3.When the pump is rotating, the gas in
an exhausted container directly enters the space
encircled by two rotor and pump cavity and the
gas entered before is merely encircled by space
Vo(see the shaded parts in Diagram). The mixed
gas in Vo is merely encircled, but not be
compressed and expanded. With the rotation of a
rotor, the rotor’s top reaches the outlet port edge,
the gas in pump’s outlet port will spread to the
space Vo, the mixed gas in Vo will be carried to a
fore pump to be exhausted. Thus, with the rotor’s
continuous operation, more gas will be carried to
outlet port and exhausted by the fore pump. That
is the functional principle of the pump’s volume.
When this pump is operating under a very
low pressure, because of rotor’s high speed
(3000rpm), the linear speed of the rotor’ surface is
near to molecular heat pace. At this time, the gas
impacted on the rotor is brought to an outlet port
with a higher pressure and removed by
beforehand vacuum pump. That is the molecular
functional principle of thin pump.
The combined action by the two principles
makes this pump have features of a big pumping
rate and a stable pumping rate curve in an interval
of 1.3x103～1.3 Pa.
According to this pump’s characteristics and
different operating condition, different fore pump
can be freely chosen which is not required too
high vacuum, but required to remove corrosive
gas with large steam or little dust. Completed with
a double-stage water-ring vacuum pump and a
piston vacuum pump, the limit vacuum is lower
and its power proportioning is different, too. Our
company can specially design various pump’s unit
according to user’s different requirements and
operating conditions .Welcome to contact us by
call or email.

Diagram 3. Working Principle
5. Installation
1. Before installation, checking each parts and
make sure there have no damaged, and to see
whether the product is fit to order contract.
2. The pump must be installed in a place of
cleaning, no dust or a little dust and infection
with dielectrics. According to its operating
condition, the pump’s inlet port can be equipped
an anti-dust device (such as an oil-sealed
mechanical pump used as fore pump).
3.The pump’s operating environment temp. is
5-40 ℃ and the max. temperature rise is cannot
exceed 100 ℃.
4. According to operating condition, the pump
can be installed to a cement base or steel frame
base which should be calibrated. Otherwise, it
will be seriously affect the pump’s normal
operation.
5. The gas inlet pipe should be kept sealing,
even a small leakage will affect its vacuum.
6. The length of a pipe is as short as possible,
using less joint and elbow with its diameter less
than its pump’s bore.
7. A flexible soft pipe such as a metal bellows
should be linked between this pump and a fore
pump so as to prevent damaging this pump
because of fore pump’s vibration.
8. It is better to equipped a vacuum valve on the
pump’s inlet and outlet pipes so as to keep the
vacuum of pump cavity after stopping operation.
9. (For water cooling type) A valve should be
installed on inlet pipe for cooling water so as to
regulate water quantity and control the outlet
temperature of cooled water at 20-40℃ 。 Pay
attention to the water temperature not over
40℃ so as to avoid producing sediment in a
water tank.
10. An advance vacuum pump must be used as
this pump’s fore pump which is not used alone.
If an oil-sealed mechanical vacuum pump is
used as its fore pump, the two may be used in
series connection. So this pump is not
suitable for drawing out the gases such as
too much oxygen content, explosiveness,
corrosion to ferrous metal, chemical
reaction to vacuum oil and containing dust
etc. Otherwise, the service life of a fore pump
will be shortening.

6.1. Preparations before starting
① For water cooling type, make sure the
cooling water pipe is open.
② Check there have enough lubrication oil in
end cover A and end cover B, make sure the oil
should be reached to the oil level of oil mirror.
The oil cup of oil sealing should be filled full
usually and keep clean. New pump’s oil must be
changed after operating30 ～ 50 hours. After
then, the oil can be changed according to the
operating condition.
③ If there have dust and other metal powder in
the exhausted gas, anti-dust or filler devices
should be installed in front of air inlet port. If
there have corrosive gas in exhausted gases,
some neutralizing measures should be adopted.
④ Check there have no any loosening in
various parts .Motor ’s rotational direction
should be in accordance with arrow direction on
a pump.
6.2. Starting
①Start the fore pump
②Open the gas inlet valve of this pump
③
For water cooling type, o
pen the water cooling
valve and start this pump.
④The pump should be in a stable operation and
the rotor without crash . Or should be stopped.
⑤There is no leakage in the oil –sealed position
of a pump’s shaft.
⑥During the operating, if the temperature rise is
too high ,the reading of current meter is
suddenly changed, an abnormal noise or other
unusual phenomena appears ,the pump should
be stopped immediately.
6.3. Stopping
① Close gas inlet valve which on inlet port at
first.
② Stop pump（and close the inlet valve ）
③ Stop the fore pump
④ For water cooling type only, close the water
inlet valve of water cooling pipe.
⑤ If the pump’s operation is stopped for a long
time or its operating in a cold zone, the cooling
water must be drained out completely.
Otherwise, the cooling water will be frozen and
make the pump’s castings in frost crack.
7. Maintenance & accessories
7.1 Safety information
The safety information was given in the
following applies to all maintenance work.
Warning: Disconnect the electrical power before
disassembling the pump and venting to
atmospheric pressure. Make absolutely sure that
the pump cannot be accidentally started. If the
pump has been pumping harmful substances,
determine the nature of hazard and introduce
suitable safety measure.
When drying or blowing out the pump with
compressed air, technician must observe and
obey all safety regulations.
Caution: All maintenance and cleaning work
described in this section must be only carried out
by the trained person.
When handling the used oil pls observe the
relevant environment regulations.
Improper maintenance or repairs may affect the
service life and pump performance.
7.2 Oil change/gear box
Warning: Before pumping oxygen or other highly
reactive gases at concentrations which exceeding
20% in the atmosphere will be necessary to
choose a special pump. Such a pump have to
modified and degreased as well as a special
lubricant oil . Bearings consume a little oil and the
gear under clean operating conditions. We
recommend you to change the oil after the first
500hrs operation to remove any wearing residue.
Then, under the normal operating conditions,
change pump oil after every 3000hrs operating.
Change oil much more frequently when pumping
corrosive vapors or large amount of dust or when
happing from the atmospheric pressure to working
pressure usually.
Warning: Before removing the oil-drain/oil filling
screw, the pump should be stooped at first and
vent to atmosphere pressure( have no vacuum
inside pump chamber).
When the pump has become warm during
operation, the casing and the oil temperature may
exceed 80 ℃ ,then should leave the pump to
cooling down.
Always wear protective gloves to protect yourself
against aggressive residues in the oil .

Loosen the oil-drain/oil-fill screw and then drain
out the oil. Clean the sealing surface and firmly
reinstall the oil-drain screw using a gasket which
is in a perfect condition. Wipe off any oil residues
from the casing. Fill in new oil. Make sure to use
the right kind of oil.
Caution: We recommend the vacuum oil is N100
or N62. Make sure the oil level is correct .If the oil
level is too low, the bearings and gearwheels will
not lubricated adequately; if it is too high, oil may
enter into the pump chamber. Clean the oil-fill port
and reinstall the screw using a gasket which is in a
perfect condition.
Caution: The oil fill port must be sealed tightly.
Or the air willbe entered into pump chamber
through impeller seals .
7.3 Oil Change/Shaft Seal Housing
Warning: The oil in the shaft seal housing should
be changed every 3,000hrs operating. Loosen the
oil-drain screw under the shaft seal housing, drain
out the oil and then screw the oil-drain with a
gasket which is in a perfect condition. Fill in fresh
oil through the oiler and the oil should be reached
to the oil level. .
Maximum level:
- when the pump is warm = 1/2 of the height
of the oiler.
- when the pump is cold = 1/3 of the height of
the oiler. Wipe off any oil residues from the casing.
7.4 Cleaning the Fan and the Cooling Fins
Warning: The fans slits as well as the motor fins
will be polluted when working in humidity
conditions . In order to ensure a sufficient air enter
into motor and the pump’s casing, the fan grids
must be cleaned using a cleaning brush when
polluted. Any coarse dirt must be removed from
the motor fins and the pump.
7.5 Cleaning the Pumping Chamber
Warning: Under dirty operating conditions, pump
chamber and rotor will be getting polluted. After
removing the two connecting lines, the
contaminants can be blown out with dry
compressed air or flushed out using a suitable
solvent. Contaminants that cannot be removing
completely from the pump chamber with a wire
brush, metallic sponge or scraper. Then change
the oil.
Warning: During cleaning, the rotors must be
turned only by hand. The loosened parts must not
remain in the pump. After cleaning, check the
pump by slowly turning the rotor. The rotor should
be moved freely and without any resistance.
