[0002] A Roots vacuum pump is a type of variable displacement vacuum pump containing two synchronously rotating, oppositely oriented lobe rotors. The rotors have small gaps between them and between the rotors and the pump casing wall, preventing direct contact. Roots vacuum pumps have undergone long-term testing in applications such as petroleum, chemical, plastics, pesticide, turbine rotor dynamic balancing, and aerospace space simulation, and therefore should be widely promoted and applied domestically. They are also widely used in the petroleum, chemical, metallurgical, and textile industries. Vacuum pump accessories, such as silencers, are used for noise control in vacuum pumps.
