to the application of diffusion coatings, or in advanced ion and plasma-type surfacing techniques. Vacuum pumps are used for drying, distillation, and evaporation. Lower boiling temperatures attained under vacuum preserve nutrients and improve taste, quality, and shelf life of products such as candies, jams, pharmaceuticals, and many mild products. Deaeration is needed for products such as meat pastes, sauces, soups, cellulose, latex, bricks, tiles, sewer pipes, and pottery clay. Also, vacuum conveyance of dangerous, viscous, contaminated, powdery, flaky, bulky, or simply hard-to-handle materials or products is used.

(Source: Sulzer Pumps.) evacuated, transparent plastic pipes from the forming machine at one end of the plant to the filling equipment at the other end of the building. With a profusion of processes and applications thus benefiting from vacuum pumps, it is not surprising that many different types and styles, sizes and models, and configurations and variations of vacuum producing machinery are available to the user. The familiar steam, gas, and fluid jet injectors/eductors must be acknowledged as prime vacuum producers; however, we will only mention them in passing because they lack moving parts and thus do not fit our definition of “machinery.” Vacuum pumps are often classified in two broad categories: dry type and liquid type. Dry types include lobe, rotary piston, sliding vane, and even diaphragm P-312 Pumps FIG. P-321 Hydraulic range chart (Type VCR 8). (Source: Sulzer Pumps.)

Figure P- 335 shows the operating ranges for many of these pumps. It should be noted that there is considerable overlap among ranges. The most important vacuum producers and their respective operating modes and features are of interest to use in the order listed in Fig. P-335. Single-stage liquid ring pumps Figure P-336 depicts the operating principle of a liquid ring pump. Its circular pump body (A) contains a rotor that consists of a shaft and impeller (B). Shaft and impeller centerlines are positioned parallel, but eccentrically offset relative to the centerline of the pump body. The amount of eccentricity is related to the depth of the liquid ring (C). The liquid ring is formed by introducing service liquid, normally water, via the pump suction casing (L) and through the channel (D) positioned in the suction port plate (E). The centrifugal action of the rotating impeller forces the liquid toward the periphery of the pump body. By controlling the amount of service liquid within the pump body where the impeller blades are completely immersed to their root at one extreme (F) and all but their tips exposed at the other extreme (G), optimum pumping performance will be attained.
