Liquid ring vacuum pumps have multiple use across wide range of manufacturing industries
A
liquid ring vacuum pumps is an energy-efficient rotating positive displacement
pump found in many industries, including paper and polymers businesses,
diesel/diesel engines, medical equipment, petroleum refineries, textile mills,
aerospace, and semiconductor processes. A liquid ring vacuum pump has a series
of copper tubes filled with liquid ring material. When the ring is rotated by
an electrical current, it pumps the liquid from one tube to another. This
liquid is very similar to a vacuum cleaner as it only pumps the waste materials
away from the pump itself.
There
are two types of liquid
ring vacuum pumps: direct and indirect flow. A direct flow pump works
by compressing a gas in a ring that is then fed into a compression stage. The
ring's walls are made of a ring of metal containing holes that are punctured
when the vacuum pump's impeller is turned by the moving fluid. This puncturing
and expansion create a large amount of gas pressure behind the ring, which
forces the air into the compression stage. As the gas expands, it pulls up on
the piston and expands the opening of the casing, creating suction and
ultimately the gush of escaping gas.
Indirect
flow liquid ring vacuum pumps work in much the same way, except that the gas is
not pumped into a compression stage at all. Instead, the gush of escaping gas
passes through a second ring, which is designed to create a seal. A seal is
also necessary because the gas's pressure will decrease as it enters the
compression process. Once the sealed ring is filled with the rush of escaping
gas, the second ring is turned, forcing the gush into the compression process.
These vacuum pump devices are used for various manufacturing processes.
