Service technicians need to completely evacuate a refrigeration system any time they open the system to the atmosphere. Vacuum pumps and micron gauges are the tools you need to use for this. Are yours ...

Brake assist systems depend on vacuum pumps, which serve as essential components. Failures reduce brake performance, trigger fault detection codes, and affect vacuum-based systems. Regular maintenance ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This feature follows on from Restoring suck ‘n’ blow, here. Vacuum tanker pumps are simple beasts, so the job is straightforward, yet there are still one or two things to watch. • Don’t throw away the ...
