Definitions

  • the document USA57816409 describes a scroll compressor comprising a pressurized oil lubrication device in which pressure balancing means are provided.
  • the expansion device comprises for example at least one deformable and gas-tight membrane.
  • the expansion device comprises for example a single membrane for a shaft passage or a plurality of membranes arranged in parallel.
  • the pumping stage adjacent to the oil pan is configured to deliver the pumped gases at atmospheric pressure.
  • the vacuum pump is therefore a primary vacuum pump.
  • the volume on the pumping side 11 is located between the at least one sealing device 6a, 6b and an outlet of the pumping stage located after the rotors 5, considering the direction of flow of the gases pumped in the pump vacuum 1 and the case where the oil sump 2 is located on the discharge side of the vacuum pump 1.
  • a second tap 17 made in the pump body 16 opens into the volume of the oil pan 2, for example in the upper part of the oil pan 2.
  • This second tap 17 is connected to the second orifice 14 of the shell 13, the first and the second orifice 14 being formed on either side of the membrane of the expansion device 12.
  • the membrane may deform when pressure differences occur on either side of the membrane, between the volume on the pumping side 24 and the volume of the oil sump 2. These deformations make it possible to balance the pressure. the pressure between the volume between the pumping side 24 included between the sealing devices 6a, 6b and the pressure prevailing in the oil sump 2.
