A Vacuum Pump is used for many functions within a plant. They are employed to reduce the operating pressure of any system below atmospheric pressure.
Primarily vacuum pumps are used to reduce boiling temperatures of fluids and gases by reducing the pressure which in turn reduces the boiling temperature otherwise known as vapour pressure. In past times excessive heat was used such as steam to boil the fluids at high temperatures which, in turn, means a high energy load and a high operating cost.
There are many various types of vacuum pumps available, such as Dry Running, Liquid Ring, Rotary Vane Oil-Lubricated, Piston, screw, hook, and claw or lobular technology. The most common units now are Dry Running and Liquid Ring
ESI have a long-standing relationship with Flowserve SIHI since the early 1900s and has been promoting both their Dry Running and Liquid Ring Vacuum Pump technology for many years now.
Depending on the process application ESI can advise the best possible solution considering capital cost, cost of ownership, reliability, and maintainability whether it is Dry Running or Liquid Ring Technology.
