The Positive Displacement Compressor and Its Applications

The fluid ring vacuum pumps are popularly known as positive displacement compressors. These machines are equipped with double or single suction impeller based on their size. The positive displacement compressors do not need lubricants, and you do not find any parts in their hydraulics for direct contact. This is the reason; the fluid ring vacuum pumps do not make much noise while in operation. The positive displacement compressors are simple but durable and robust in their design to provide you with optimum services.

These vacuum pumps and related compressors are a rotary positive displacement pump with a variety of applications in varieties of manufacturing and industries. The applications include pharmaceuticals, chemicals, paint industries, chemical manufacturing, petrochemical industries along with varied usages in general manufacturing and industries.

The functional features of the positive displacement compressor are simple, and the internal of these fluid ring vacuum pump or the compressors are filled with fluid in order to operate. The interior of the vacuum pump and compressor have port plates and casing. The eccentrically mounted impeller while rotating forms the fluid ring in the port plates and casing. Eventually, the fluid ring formulates a cell in the blades of the impeller. This cell gets itself expanded in the process of rotation, and ultimately draws the gas using the suction port as a channel. In the process, the rotation of the impeller continues making the sizes of the cells further smaller. Ultimately, this process compresses the gas towards the discharge port. However, while gas gets discharged through the discharge port, some portion of fluids also come out along with the gas and get separated in the separator.

In the whole processes of flexible discharge port that takes place in the port plate, the positive displacement compressor works very efficiently involving the entire ranges of suction pressure. The regulation of port opening functions based on the actual ratio of compression regulating and avoiding over-compression of the fluid ring vacuum pump.

The positive displacement compressors or the fluid ring vacuum pumps come in varieties of sizes of the LVP sizes with multiple methods of shaft sealing. You can get single sealing and double sealing along with magnetically coupling and hermetically sealed and canned motors in the market. In a simple understanding, in the hermetically sealed pump, a magnetic coupling or a canned motor is replaced in the place of shaft sea.
