Overview


How a Liquid Ring Vacuum Pump Works?

As the name suggests, these pumps use water or any other liquid for its operation. Similar to other standard pumps in the market, these pumps feature a bladed impeller, which is attached to the center hub. However, the only difference is these impellers are positioned off-set to the center hub.

In regular centrifugal pumps, the fluid at the pump’s suction port will have a low pressure value. However, the pressure increases when it passes through the various impeller stages. Finally, at the discharge port the pressure becomes higher. However, in the case of liquid ring vacuum pumps, air is pulled out of the low pressure vessels, such that the vessel pressure goes below the value of atmospheric pressure. This leads to the creation of vacuum conditions.

The blades located on the top of the pump remain closer to the outer wall than those at the bottom and side of the pump. Owing to this relative eccentricity, a compression is produced by the pump. This eccentricity also leads to the partial filling and emptying of the rotor chamber in the state of revolution. This partial emptying and filling triggers the piston action within each set of the impeller blades or rotor. The parts of the pump are designed such that they allow the gas to enter during the emptying of the liquid in the rotor chamber, and discharge it when the compression is completed.

PV Series


MXQ PV Series liquid ring vacuum pumps are dimensional and functional equivalents of NASH CL Series vacuum pumps. These pumps are widely utilized in various critical industrial applications such as autoclaves, paper machine dewatering, chucking, carburetor testing, cooking, deaerating, eviscerating, priming, solvent recovery, etc. It can be seen that the wide employment of these pumps results from the following factors:

  • The pump features rugged construction, and is typically made of ductile iron, stainless steel or combination of both these materials.
  • The pumps are ideal to use when the application involves:
    • Air carrying various solid contaminants
    • Vapor that needs to be reclaimed
    • Corrosive gas or gases
  • These pumps are also ideal to use when the liquid may be carried over, or when you require noise-free, and smooth operations.

Capabilities

  • Maximum Vacuum: 700 mm Hg (27.5ʺ Hg) at sea level
  • Capacity: 150 to 25500 M3 /hr (88 CFM to 150,000 CFM)
