In this paper, the pumping performance of the two-stage disk-type drag pump which works in the outlet pressure range from 3 to 0.001 Torr is studied experimentally. The rotational speed of the pump is 24,000rpm, and nitrogen is used as a test gas. The pumping characteristics of various drag pumps are performed. The inlet pressures are measured for various outlet pressures of the test pump. The maximum compression ratios for zero throughput are 1000(two-stage BSC type), 740(helical-type), 90(BSC type) and 85(OSC type), respectively. The ultimate pressure of the two-stage disk-type drag pump is $8.1\times10^6$ Torr.

In this paper, the pumping performance of the disk-type drag pump which works in the outlet pressure range from 4 to 0.001 Torr is studied experimentally. The pumping characteristics of various drag pumps are performed. The inlet pressures are measured for various outlet pressures of the test pump. The flow-meter method is adopted to calculate the pumping speed. Compression ratios and pumping speeds for the nitrogen gas are measured. The present experimental data show the leak-limited value of the compression ratio in the molecular transition region. The rotational speed of the pump is 24,000rpm. The inlet pressures are measured for various outlet pressures of the test pump. The ultimate Pressures for zero throughput are measured for three-stage, two-stage and single-stage disk-type, respectively.

In this study, we are investigated experimentally the pumping characteristics about the pumping channel shapes of disk-type drag pump (DTDP). We are experimented the pumping performance about the rotors which have channel or do not exist. The channel disk-type rotor has spiral channels both upper and lower part, and stator is planar. The planar disk-type rotor hasn't channel and stator has spiral channels both upper and lower part. The flow-meter method is adopted to calculate the pumping speed. Compression ratio and pumping speeds for the nitrogen gas are measured under the inlet pressure range of 0.001 ${\sim}$ 4 Torr. The maximum of compression ratio was about 3300 for three-stage DTDP (channel disk-type rotor), 1000 for four-stage (planar disk-type rotor) and two-stage DTDP (channel disk-type rotor) at zero throughput. The ultimate pressure was $1.6{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr for three-stage DTDP (channel disk-type rotor), $2.5{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr for four-stage DTDP (planar disk-type rotor).

The pumping characteristics of a single-stage disk-type drag pump (DTDP) are calculated for the variation of the vertical clearance between a rotor and stator by the three-dimensional direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. The gas flow mainly belongs to the molecular transition flow region. Spiral channels of a DTDP are cut on the both the upper and lower sides of a rotating disk, but a stationary disk is planar. The interaction between molecules is described by the variable hard-sphere model. The no time counter method is used as a collision sampling technique. The vertical clearance has a significant effect on the pumping performance. Experiments are performed under the outlet pressure range of 0.4∼533 Pa. When the numerical results are compared with the experimental data, the numerical results agree well quantitatively

Turbo-type molecular drag pumps ( MDPs ) are used in the liquid crystal display ( LCD ), semiconductor and other thin film industries. Siegbahn ( disk-type ) molecular drag pumps are used as high-pressure stages in the hybrid-type turbomolecular pumps, where they can operate in the viscous, the transition and the free molecular flow regime. In this study is performed to investigate the pumping characteristics of three-stage disk-type molecular drag pump ( DTDP ) in the molecular transition flow region. The experiments are measured using five vacuum pressure gauges in the positions for rotors of DTDP. The test is performed with nitrogen gas ( $N_2$ ).

The pumping characteristics of a single-stage disk-type drag pump ( DTDP ) are calculated,for the variation of the vertical clearance between a rotor and stator and of the radial clearance between a rotor and casing wall, by the three-dimensional direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC)method. The gas flow mainly belongs to the molecular transition flow region. Spiral channels of a DTDP are cut on the both the upper and lower sides of a rotating disk, but the stationary disks are planar. As a consequence of results, the vertical and radial clearances have a significant effect on the pumping performance. Experiments are performed under the outlet pressure range of 0.4 $^{\sim}$ 533 Pa. When the numerical results are compared to the experimental data, the numerical results agree well qualitatively.

The direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method is applied to investigate the flow field of a disk-type drag pump. The pumping channels are cut on both sides of a rotating disk. The rotor has 10 Archimedes' spiral blades. In the present DSMC method, the variable hard sphere model is used as a molecular model, and the no time counter method is employed as a collision sampling technique. For simulation of diatomic gas flows, the Larsen-Borgnakke phenomenological model is adopted to redistribute the translational and internal energies.

The pumping performance of molecular drag pumps (MDP) has been investigated experimentally. The exporimented MDPs are a disk-type drag pump (DTDP), helical-type drag pump(HTDP) and compound drag pump (CDP), respectively In the case of the DTDP, spiral channels of a rotor are cut on both upper surface and lower surface of a rotating disk, and the corresponding stator is a planar disk. In the case of the HTDP, the rotor has six rectangular grooves. The CDP consists with the DTDP, at lower part, and with the HTDP, at upper part. The experiments are performed in the outlet pressure range of $0.2{\sim}533Pa$. The inlet pressure and compression ratio are measured under the various conditions of outlet pressure and throughputs, and nitrogen is used for the test gas. At the outlet pressure of 0.2Pa, the ultimate pressure has been reached to $1.0{\times}10^{-2}Pa$ for the HTDP, $1.3{\times}10^{-4}Pa$ for the DTDP, and $3.6{\times}10^{-5}Pa$ for the CDP. The maximum compression ratio of the CDP is much higher than those of the DTDP or HTDP. Consequently, the ultimate pressure of the CDP is the lowest one.
