Water ring Vacuum Compressor

• Introduction:

Our specially built water ring vacuum pumps are perfect for controlling liquid, water, gas and air moment applications in many industries. Other than liquid ring vacuum pumps, we also offer twin water separation systems/pumps, refiner plates/discs, oil seal high vacuum pumps, and twin lobe roots blowers. These products are essential for factories that need equipment to desalinate seawater, remediate lands, or even distil products.

• Water ring vacuum compressor:

A water ring vacuum compressor is a type of positive displacement compressor that uses water as a sealing fluid to create a vacuum. The compressor consists of a cylindrical casing with an impeller mounted off-center. The impeller rotates inside the casing and creates a liquid ring by centrifugal force. This ring of liquid seals the space between the impeller blades and the casing, creating a series of gas pockets that are compressed as they move from the inlet to the outlet.

The water ring vacuum compressor is commonly used in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemical manufacturing. It is ideal for handling gases that are wet, dirty, or corrosive because the liquid ring provides a barrier between the gas and the compressor.

One of the advantages of the water ring vacuum compressor is that it has a simple design with few moving parts, making it easy to maintain and operate. It also has a low noise level and can handle variable volumes of gas flow.

However, there are some limitations to the water ring vacuum compressor. It is not suitable for handling gases with high vapor pressure or high viscosity because the liquid ring can break, leading to a loss of vacuum. It also requires a constant supply of water, which can be a disadvantage in some settings.

Water ring vacuum compressors are typically available in a range of sizes and capacities, from small units designed for laboratory use to large industrial-scale models capable of handling large volumes of gas.

One advantage of water ring vacuum compressors is their ability to handle a wide range of gases, including corrosive and explosive gases. However, in some cases, the water used in the compressor may react with the gas, requiring the use of a corrosion-resistant material for the compressor casing and blades.

Water ring vacuum compressors are also known for their ability to operate at low pressures, making them well-suited to applications such as vacuum drying, vacuum filtration, and vacuum distillation. Overall, the water ring vacuum compressor is a reliable and efficient option for creating a vacuum in a range of industrial applications.
