In many cases, multistage vacuum pumps consume less energy than single-stage pumps while doing the same job. Power requirements may be reduced as much as 50%. Rotary blowers are often called mechanical booster pumps because they are commonly used as a first stage in a multistage system. 

Combination ejector/liquid-ring systems and mechanical systems that use rotary blowers backed with other mechanical pump types are versatile and energy efficient. Thermal efficiencies of combination pumping systems are shown in Figure 23-12. Ejector/liquid-ring systems offer the highest reliability and are versatile for both wet and dry loads over a wide range. Rotary-blower/ rotary-piston systems are the most efficient and have been extensively applied. 

Liquid ring pumps, rotary lobe blowers and root pumps presently allow only small suction volumes, which lead to a large number of machines. At a suction pressure of 100 mbar the compression of 0.34 million mN would require, for example, about 60 liquid ring pumps.

Components of pneumatic conveying systems, (a) Rotary positive displacement blower for pressure or vacuum, (b) A rotary airlock feeder for fine materials (Detroit Stoker Co.), (c) A four-compartment receiver-filter (Fuller Co., Bethlehem, PA), (d) A two-stage cyclone receiver, (e) The Fuller-Kinyon pump for cement and other fine powders. Powder is fed into the aeration chamber with a screw and is fluidized with compressed air (Fuller Co., Bethlehem, PA).

Evacuation of the chamber is achieved by means of a series of pumps initially a rotary piston pump takes the pressure down from atmospheric to around 30 Torr, then a blower of the Rootes-type reduces it further to about 0.1 Torr lastly, an oil-diffusion pump brings the chamber down to the condition required for the evaporation cycle—in the region of 0.0002 Torr. 

Vacuum systems (Fig. 21-12 ) are characterized by material moving in an air stream of pressure less than ambient. The advantages of this type are that all the pumping energy is used to move the product and that material can be sucked into the conveyor line without the need of a rotary feeder or similar seal between the storage vessel and the conveyor. Material remains suspended in the air stream until it reaches a receiver. Here, a cyclone separator or filter (Fig. 21-12c) separates the material from the air, the air passing through the separator and into the suction side of the positive-displacement blower or some other power source.
