Water ring vacuum pump
Thread Content
I would like to ask whether the water inside a water ring vacuum pump remains stationary or is in a state of dynamic equilibrium In other words, does the water inside keep being replenished while also being drained during the operation of the pump?
Water enters while it also exits; as the water is constantly stirred, its temperature rises.
Dynamic equilibrium is achieved by carrying both water and gas out; separation takes place in the gas-water separator, after which the water returns to the pump through the lower pipeline
Water is introduced while water and gas are discharged together, and then separated in a gas-water separator.
Some have a water replenishment tank, with an inlet and an outlet, connected to a pump
If you look at the structure, it’s clear that the water inside the pump will be drawn out, after which gas and liquid are separated. The liquid water is cooled in a heat exchanger before returning to the pump. Some water is lost, so it’s necessary to replenish it. Moreover, water is also generated in the pipes and containers downstream
So how is the amount added to the pump body controlled? I saw pipes that carried water back to the pump, but there was only a ball valve controlling those pipes; no control valves were present
The gas-water separator is equipped with an overflow pipe to allow excess water to flow away, thereby controlling the water level
