Heavy smoke coming from the exhaust port of the water ring vacuum pump
Thread Content
The water ring vacuum pump used in the workshop for evacuating equipment has a buffer tank in between. The material contained in the equipment or storage tanks is acidic and volatile; sometimes, during vacuuming, a large amount of condensable acid mist is generated at the exhaust port of the vacuum pump, or this acid mist may enter the vacuum buffer tank. How can this situation be avoided? Is it necessary to install additional equipment before the vacuum pump, such as a jet pump? What is the specific process involved?
The gas space in the buffer tank is too small
Install a condenser in front of the buffer tank; its size should be determined based on the size of the equipment ahead, in order to effectively condense and collect the liquid. Install another small condenser in the exhaust pipeline behind the vacuum pump to lower the temperature of the working fluid and absorb soluble acid mist.
A steam jet pump can be used. Water can also be sprayed from the outlet of a water ring pump to absorb acid mist.
