principles of operation
A liquid ring vacuum pump compresses gas using an auxiliary liquid (normally water) as a liquid compressant, as sealing liquid and cooling liquid.

The 4 Functions of the Liquid Ring:

PISTON:
the liquid ring segment between two blades is acting like a piston causing intake, compression and discharge.

SEALING:
between blades and body (no metal-metal contact) and between suction and discharge ports (avoiding a by-pass).

COOLING:
evacuate the specific heat of the gas, the heat of compression and of condensation.

CONDENSING:
the suction capacity is increased by condensing a portion of the vapour at the inlet.



1. INLET SECTOR

liquid moves outward and draws the gas from the inlet port into the rotor chamber



2. COMPRESSION SECTOR

liquid moves inward compressing the gas in the rotor chamber



3. OUTLET SECTOR

compressed gas escapes to the outlet
