Abstract
A two-shaft vacuum pump which draws gas in at an inlet and compresses it at a first outlet for discharge, thereby producing a vacuum at the inlet, has a second, pressure-responsive outlet from the area where the gas is compressed for discharge from the first outlet. The second outlet thereby relieves excess, compression gas pressure which could overload the pump motor, for example, at the start of operation when high-density gas is drawn in for compression.
