Is it necessary to add a buffer tank in front of the vacuum pump? Dear experts, please answer this question. Also, are there any regulatory requirements that mandate the use of buffer tanks?

There should be no mandatory requirement to include this. Generally, vacuum pumping is not necessary. In cases where special manufacturing processes require maintaining a stable pressure range and the pressure cannot be too low, it is difficult to achieve stability by using a pump alone; however, this can be accomplished more easily by adding a buffer tank and controlling its pressure

Some are equipped with a buffer tank at the front to prevent materials from entering the vacuum pipeline

To maintain a stable vacuum and prevent severe fluctuations, it is recommended to add a buffer tank.

It is necessary to add this to prevent damage to the equipment, and it also allows for the recovery of the liquid materials that can be extracted

It should be added; generally, vacuum pump unit manufacturers include a liquid separation tank.

It seems it needs to be added; most people say it should be added!

Vacuum pumps are usually supplied by the manufacturer in a complete packaged form; whether it is necessary to add additional components depends on the recommendations of the manufacturer and the design institute, with an analysis based on the actual circumstances

It is necessary. There are two benefits: first, it prevents materials within the system from entering the vacuum pump; second, it reduces fluctuations in vacuum level.
