The most common errors when using Roots pumps and how to avoid them

The Roots pump operates on a purely volumetric level and, in comparison to the rotary vane pump, does not have internal compression. It compresses against exhaust pressure. All parts in contact with the media are oil-free.

When selecting and operating a Roots pump, it is not rare that considerable errors are made. They can easily be avoided by considering the specific parameters valid for the individual pump type.
