Liquid ring vacuum pumps

LEH 1200, LEH 1500, LEH 1800

Pressure range: 33 to 1013 mbar

Suction volume flow: 440 to 2050 m/h

CONSTRUCTION TYPE

SIHI liquid ring vacuum pumps are displacement pumps of

uncomplicated and robust construction with the following particular
features:
non-polluting due to nearly isothermal compression
oil-free, as no lubrication in the working chamber
handling of nearly all gases and vapours
small quantities of entrained liquid can be handled
easy maintenance and reliable operation
low noise and nearly free from vibration
wide choice of material, therefore applicable nearly
everywhere
Internal service liquid return; adjustable from the outside
protection against cavitation as standard
incorporated dirt drain
incorporated central drain NOTE
no metallic contact of the rotating parts
During operation the pump must continuously be supplied with
The SIHI liquid ring vacuum pumps LEH are single-stage ones.
service liquid, normally water, in order to eliminate the heat
resulting from the gas compression and to replenish the liquid ring,
because part of the liquid is leaving the pump together with the
APPLICATION gas. This liquid can be separated from the gas in a liquid separator
(see catalogue part accessories).
Handling and exhausting of dry and humid gases; entrained liquid It is possible to reuse the service liquid. The pumps are equipped
can be handled during normal duty. The pumps are applied in all with a device by which the contaminated service liquid can
fields where a pressure of 33 to 900 mbar must be created by continuously be drained during operation (dirt drain), if necessary.
robust vacuum pumps.
Fields of application are for example: The direction of rotation is clockwise, when looking from the drive
chemistry and pharmacy for distilling and degassing, on the pump.
electric industry for impregnation and drying
plastics industry for degassing etc.
