Abstract

The operating principles, the technical characteristics of the main types of modern vacuum pumps used in steel degassing units, and the peculiarities of using vapor-et and mechanical pumps in industrial practice are considered. It is noted that, in recent years, mechanical pumps are used to provide a higher evacuation rate and degree of evacuation and to reach a decrease in the operating costs on their maintenance and steel degassing.
