Vacuum pumps are used to remove air and other gases from a confined space, creating a partial vacuum. This process is used in numerous applications, including industrial processes, scientific research, and medical procedures. Essentially, vacuum pumps work by reducing the pressure within a system, allowing for various operations that benefit from a low-pressure environment.
Here’s a more detailed overview of vacuum pump applications:
