Doubts about the design of vacuum tubes
Thread Content
Recently, I encountered some issues related to the design and use of vacuum pipes, and I would like to ask the experts for any good suggestions: Option A: Place the main vacuum pipe in the air. Advantage: There are no pipes on the ground to cause obstacles； The pipeline design is relatively simple. Disadvantage: The equipment is connected to the DN50 branch pipe using a bellows (semi-transparent), and water accumulates inside the bellows. The bellows hanging in the air doesn’t give a very good visual effect. Option B: Place the vacuum main pipeline on the ground. Advantage: No water accumulation inside the bellows. Disadvantage: Pipes on the ground cause obstruction ； At the same time, the main pipes experience significant elevation changes, resulting in poor vacuum performance and water accumulation in the ground pipes. My question is: regardless of whether it’s Option A or Option B, in terms of vacuum extraction performance and overall cable management, which option is better?
Everyone tends to choose A; especially when they see something blocking the way and preventing them from passing, it makes them uncomfortable
Personally, I lean towards B. A small liquid separation tank is installed at the end of the pipeline, which helps to address the issue of water accumulation in the main pipe. Since the medium is gas, even though the main pipe has a high lift, it does not have a significant impact on the vacuum pumping efficiency.
Tending towards A; no particular reason. The actual effect can only be tested
I think Option A provides a better vacuum effect than Option B
Okay, thank you all for your enthusiasm. For now, let’s go with A temporarily. . .
Personally, I think Option A is better than Option B; in Option B, the pipe goes up and then down, increasing its length and potentially affecting the vacuum level.
Option A is better; the hose does not need to be too long, and the branch pipes can be connected to easily accessible positions on the ground, allowing for a neat arrangement. Additionally, if the upward-extending pipes do not interfere with safety passages, they should be lowered as much as possible.
For Option A, a gas-liquid separation tank can be added, and the pipes can be given an appropriate slope

A, you’ve already said that B doesn’t work well!
