Engineering Simplicity: Built Like a Tank In an era of high-speed, fragile machinery, the liquid ring vacuum pump (LRVP) stands apart as a machine “built like a tank.” Its mechanical simplicity is its greatest strength; there is only one moving part—the impeller. Because there is no metal-to-metal contact between the impeller and the housing, … Read more
Vacuum Pumps are supportive and important in power generation, as they remove non-condensable gases (nitrogen and hydrogen) from the condenser. This makes the condenser work more effectively in removing spent steam from the discharge of the turbine. Some other types of pumps used in power generation include: Feedwater pumps are liquid pumps, not vacuum: the boiler … Read more
The paper-making process requires significant energy to create the vacuum necessary for dewatering the pulp and paper by removing moisture from the press fabrics. Liquid ring vacuum pumps can provide opportunities to improve energy-efficient solutions for this process. Here are some ways to gain energy efficiency using liquid ring vacuum pumps in the paper-making process. … Read more
Liquid ring refers to a type of vacuum pump that uses a rotating ring of liquid to make pistons compress the gas captured. Liquid ring pumps are used in industrial applications, including vacuums for liquid-solid separation in filters, pneumatic conveying, distillation, and vaporized drying. The pump consists of an impeller or rotor with vanes that … Read more
