Frequently Asked Questions

What is a liquid ring vacuum pump used for?

Liquid ring vacuum pumps are used for vacuum distillation, drying, filtration, degassing, and gas extraction in chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and pulp & paper industries. They handle wet or dusty gases well.

How does a liquid ring vacuum pump work?

An eccentric impeller spins inside a circular casing. The sealing liquid (usually water) is thrown outward by centrifugal force, forming a ring that follows the casing. The varying volume between impeller cells creates vacuum and compression.

What liquid is used in a liquid ring pump?

Water is the most common sealing liquid. For corrosive gases, other liquids (like oils or compatible process fluids) are used. The liquid must be compatible with the gas being pumped.

What is the difference between liquid ring and dry vacuum pumps?

Liquid ring pumps handle wet, dusty, or condensable gases and are more tolerant of contamination. Dry vacuum pumps are oil-free and cleaner, but more sensitive to wet or dirty gases.
