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
shaft not contact with the medium
protection against cavitation as standard
incorporated dirt drain
incorporated central drain
NOTE
no metallic contact of the rotating parts
The SIHI liquid ring vacuum pumps LEM/LEL are single-stage ones. During operation the pump must continuously be supplied with 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 gas. This liquid can be
separated from the gas in a liquid separator (see catalogue part
accessories).
APPLICATION It is possible to reuse the service liquid. The pumps are equipped with
a device by which the contaminated service liquid can continuously be
Handling and exhausting of dry and humid gases; entrained liquid can drained during operation (dirt drain), if necessary.
be handled during normal duty. The pumps are applied in all fields
where a pressure of 33 to 900 mbar must be created by robust The direction of rotation is clockwise, when looking from the drive on
