A compressor design includes a male rotor (10) having one or more helical lobes (12) and a female rotor (14) having one or more helical grooves (16).

The male rotor is positioned in a first section of a chamber and the female rotor is positioned in a second section of the chamber. Fluid enters the chamber at an inlet, and when the rotors are driven, the lobes of the male rotor fit into the grooves of the female rotor, causing compression and movement of the fluid towards an outlet or discharge end where the compressed fluid is discharged. The configuration of the lobe and groove helix, the lobe and groove profile, and the outer diameter of the rotors can be varied in different combinations to form different rotors.

The disclosure discloses a method for determining reasonable design area of roots pump rotor profile of roots pump and its application, and belongs to the field of mechanical design. According to the method of the disclosure, after a relation between the roots pump rotor profile and performance parameters is established, constraint conditions for avoiding a closed volume and undercutting are further determined, so that a reasonable design region of a roots pump rotor blade peak curve is determined. Reference is given when the roots pump rotor profile is designed, i.e., the rotor profile with the blade peak curve being not within the reasonable design region inevitably causes the problem of closed volume or undercutting in application, so that the design of the rotor profile that causes the closed volume or undercutting can be avoided when the roots pump rotor profile is designed. The problem that the design unreasonableness of the rotor profile is not found until the design is completed is solved, so that the design efficiency of the rotor profile is improved.

A method for evacuating a chamber employs a pump arrangement composed of a booster pump and of a downstream forepump is connected to the chamber. The booster pump is accelerated, gas from the chamber is introduced into the booster pump, such that from the booster pump there is temporarily extracted an excess power which exceeds the power provided by the drive of the booster pump. The gas is discharged through a bypass valve while the outlet pressure of the booster pump lies above a predefined threshold value, and the gas is directed to the forepump when the outlet pressure of the booster pump has fallen below the threshold value. The gas supplied by the booster pump is compressed by means of the forepump.
