Vacuum Pump

Oil sealed vacuum pumps are used in many applications, including:

• Vacuum heat treating and vacuum furnaces
• Hydrogen cooled generators
• Industrial production and research
• Ethanol and C02 extraction
• Transformer oil removal and cleaning
• Paper and sugar plants
• Plastics industry
• Brewer bottling plants

Oil sealed vacuum pumps are suited for both industrial production and research applications. They use oil to enable higher compression ratios and better internal cooling.

When choosing an oil sealed vacuum pump, you can consider factors such as:

• Vacuum depth
• Chemical resistance
• Type of pump
• Expense
• CFM
• Pumping capacity at the intended vacuum level
• Potential impact of dust or debris from process, corrosive gases, high gas throughputs, and frequent ventings

• Pharmaceutical and chemical: Used for filling, filtration, cooling, crystallizing, distillation, deaeration of caustic solutions, and solvent recovery
• Food: Used for degasification of mineral water, bottling, deodorization of salad oils and fats, and sterilization of tea and spices
• Power plants: Used for condenser venting and as a power generating device
• Petrochemical: Used with ejectors and condensers for different processes
• Paper machines: Used in the forming, press, and drying sections

• Compression
• Air and ash handling
• Flare gas recovery
• Processing of aggressive, flammable, or corrosive gases and vapors
• Chlorine compression

• The pressure of the liquid ring
• The flow rate of the pump
• The cost of water and water disposal
