The main types of vacuum pumps

Liquid-ring (liquid ring) pumps

A distinctive feature of liquid ring vacuum pumps is that the compression of gas in them by a liquid ring, which is driven vane impeller is eccentrically located in the body.

Before starting the pump to the axis is filled with liquid. During the rotation of the impeller blades liquid discarded the body and between the hub of the impeller and the liquid ring formed sickle space divided by shoulder-blades of the impeller on the working cells, the amount of which varies depending on the angle of rotation of the impeller. At the angle of rotation of the impeller, where the volume of working memory increases, they are connected to the suction box and, through him, filled with pumped gas. When the volume of the working cell will be the maximum, it detaches from the suction box. Upon further rotation of the impeller working cell volume decreases, and it is compressed gas. At a certain angle of rotation of the working cell is connected to the positive window, and gas, by reducing the volume of the working cell is pushed out through the discharge window to discharge pipe.

Drive liquid ring pump is misuse of the motor. Motor shaft is connected to the pump shaft via a flexible coupling. Because the gas is compressed liquid in the pump by a good heat transfer between the compressed gas and liquid, and most chat heat of compression is removed from the gas. To maintain the temperature of liquid ring stable, constantly introducing new portions of cold liquid. Too much fluid is discharged from the liquid ring through the discharge window and delivery pipeline in the liquid separator.

The flow of the compression process with intense heat transfer allows to pump easily decomposed, polymerized, flammable and explosive gas and mixture. The presence of liquid ring and an absence of timing allows the pumps to pump gases containing pairs of liquid drops, solid foreign inclusions such as dust and even the abrasive particles. The appropriate selection of the working fluid can be used for pumping with liquid ring vacuum pump aggressive gases. For example, for pumping chlorine concentration is used sulfuric acid (the concentration of H2SO4 – 97 … 98%).

Vacuum pumps

Vacuum pump – a device for removal (pumping) of gases and vapors from the closed volume in order to get it vacuum. There are different types of vacuum pump, whose action is based on different physical phenomena: mechanical (rotational), jet, sorption, condensation.
Basic parameters of the vacuum pump

1. Limit (lowest) pressure (residual pressure, ultimate vacuum), which can be achieved by a pump, pumping rate – the volume of gas pumped at a given pressure in unit time (m3 / s, l / sec).

2. Acceptable (largest) outlet pressure in the exhaust section of the pump, the further improvement which violates the normal operation of the vacuum pump.

Application of vacuum

* High vacuum and high vacuum pumps are used in physics laboratories, high tech, for example, vacuum coaters.

* Low vacuum, and the corresponding vacuum pumps are widely used in technological processes of various industries, in medicine, agriculture, etc. Pumps, creating a low vacuum, used both independently and as a vacuum pump, ie used as the first stages of high-vacuum pumping systems.

Flatulence foil reinforced pipes

As a result of exploitation PEX pipes sometimes a situation arises requiring clarification of the processes. It is a swelling of the outer layer of PEX reinforced pipes, the emergence of so-called “bubbles”. First, remember that this reinforced pipes. This is a common PEX pipe which by means of a system of metal rollers (wheels) layer of metal foil. Foil, as it were dimmed on the tube. Then with the help of the extruder is applied outer layer of PEX. Where do bubbles appear? The fact that the foil is put on a special adhesive, an aqueous base. The same glue is applied between the foil and the outer layer of PEX. In manufacturing technology, this glue dried stream of hot air to remove excess moisture from the glue. And here is just a problem of which we speak. One of the two-pipe or “nedosushennaya”, or is incorrect proportion of glue (and quite a small percentage of errors). As a result of pipe may soon swell at the factory and it most likely will be married. While not necessarily seen such a pipe, not only in stock, but even at the exhibition. Another option is when the tube is perfectly normal in appearance, but after the installation and connection of hot water there are air bubbles of which we speak. This is all for the same reason that described above. Evaporate excess moisture in the adhesive layers and the air bubble is formed either between the pipe and the foil, or between the foil and the outer layer. As such troubles affect the efficiency of water supply? Again, that any air bubbles occur between the pipe and the foil, or between the foil and the outer layer of PEX. That is, the pipe itself in no way alters its functionality. When puncture bubbles allocated a certain amount of condensed moisture on heating pipes and no more. This follows several drops of water and all. You can wait as long as you like, more water will not. We are talking not about the leak, but about some rather an aesthetic problem because of the money people do not want to see his pipe with bubbles. Although we emphasize again that if you look in terms of functionality of the system, it remains full. It’s like a curve line of the jeans, as though bad, but you can wear.

… (G) – tightness of the pump is ensured by freely vibrating membrane of Teflon separating the flow part of the drive pump and oil-filled chamber with a plunger moving within it.

Scope pumps dispensing

They are used in technological processes in chemical, petrochemical, fat, food and other industries.

Screw pump

Screw pump – hydraulic machine, a working body of which is the screw: serves as a liquid, including those with high viscosity. Screw pump is a type of rotary pumps, also called worm gear. In case a screw pump is a leading and one or two propeller driven. When rotating the screws where they move along the axis of engagement – closed between the turns of the volume of fluid displaced. Liquids reportedly mostly potential energy, making it significantly increases the pressure.

A variety of wear-resistant screw pumps are ideally suited for use in industry and municipal economy. In addition to pumping liquids, on properties similar to water, screw pumps are used when working with sludge, viscous and shear sensitive clay, heavy material and abrasive fluids.

Scope vortex pump

* Pumps with soft seal used for pumping water, neutral and chemically active liquids with temperatures from -15 to +85 ° C.
* Pumps with end seal used to pump toxic, flammable, flammable and explosive liquids with temperatures from -40 to +85 ° C. This pump is fitted with explosion-proof motors.

Materials used in the manufacture of a vortex pump, dependent on the pumped medium.

Sealed Chemical Pumps

Sealed pumps CT – designed for pumping liquids in stationary conditions (including liquefied gases), a pair which may form explosive mixtures with air or contaminate the environment. The main design features sealed electric – no external seals of rotating parts and compact design that combines in a single block of the pump and built-in asynchronous motor.

The design of pumps eliminates pollution, loss of pumped product, reduces the cost of the construction by reducing the cost of sewage treatment.

Elements of the built motor – stator and rotor separated from the pumped liquid thin-walled (0.5 mm) cartridges.

Cooling and lubrication of bearings made of pumped liquid, electric start and work without filling or partial filling of the pumped liquid is not allowed.

In the symbol of pumps (CT – centrifugal hermetic) number in the numerator – the nominal flow (m3 /?) Number in the denominator – nominal head (m), b – Trim wheel next letter – a symbol of the material in contact with the pumped fluid, the number following the letter – the nominal power of the integrated engine, and the next figure – a constructive response, depending on the temperature and pressure of the fluid.

Vortex Pump

Vortex pumps are designed for pumping water, neutral, flammable, toxic, flammable and explosive, as well as chemically active liquids with temperatures from -40 to +85 ° C with a solids content of not more than 0,01% by weight of up to 0,05 mm .

Parameters of the vortex pump

Vortex pumps are characterized by the work of the vortex wheel, which is a flat disc with short straight radial blades, located on the periphery of the wheel. The body has a circular cavity, which includes the blade and wheels. The inner sealing protrusion, tightly adhering to the outer ends and side surfaces of the blades, shared the suction and discharge pipes connected to the ring cavity.

When wheel spin liquid is keen blades, while under the influence of centrifugal force, twisted. Thus, in a ring cavity of the working pump formed a kind of fresh annular vortex motion, why the pump is called a vortex. The peculiarity of the vortex wheels is that the same fluid particle moving along a helical trajectory, the section from the entrance to the annular cavity to exit repeatedly finds himself in space mezhlopastnoe wheel, where each time receives an additional increment of energy, and hence and pressure. Due to this vortex pump is able to develop the pressure 2-4 times greater than the centrifugal pump with the same diameter wheel and the same speed. This, in turn, leads to a much smaller overall size and weight of vortex pumps in comparison to the centrifuge.

The advantage of vortex pumps is that they possess the self-priming ability (especially pumps SCD air cap), which excludes the need to fill the shell and suction line fluid pumped before each launch.

The disadvantage of vortex pumps is relatively low efficiency (18-40%) and rapid wear of parts at work on liquids containing suspended solids.

For pumping easily solidifying liquids Pumps are manufactured with heating – performance videoconferencing. Structurally, this is done in a more heated lid clamped on the outer cover of the case, form a chamber heating. In the heated lid is connected to the steam pipe steam pressure of 5 kgf/cm2.

To ensure self-suction pumps are manufactured with an air dome – fulfillment SCD. Air cap, attached to the delivery hose has offtake and by injection effect provides the ability to self-priming pump. When water-filled shell can provide a self-suction pump 4 m operating conditions.

Shaft seal pumps – double soft seal or double face (2f).

PEX tubing – what to choose?

By length of pipeline (about 2 million km outside and 14 million km inland), Canada after the U.S. took second place in the world. However, there is no country with such worn-out pipes, as the USA. Approximately 50 thousand kilometers are in a critical condition, more than 5 km were laid in late or early this century. About 40% of the total PEX Plumbing system utilities in need of major repair or replacement.

One of the reasons for this sorry state of engineering services related to the fact that over 70% of pipelines in Canada are made of steel and only 30% – of non-metallic materials, whereas the life of steel pipe is not more than 10-15 years. Calculated the same length of service pipe made of PEX in cold water is at least 50 years, and in systems for hot water and heating at least 25-30 years.

This leads to a gradual increase in the use of PEX tubing. Statistical studies show sales growth and demonstrates the popularization of PEX tubing.

However, one of the main features of a modern domestic market of PEX Plumbing tubing is that it has an extremely wide range of material that appeared in the West as recently as well as a few decades ago. They differ significantly in innovation, quality and price.

The history of PEX tubing is more than 65 years. For us, everything that is now sold in equal measure are new.

In such a sudden large amount of information orientation was not so easy, even the builders, not to mention the prime buyers. Common how-ever systematic information base that contains objective information on all accounts in our market PEX piping and technologies have not yet been created. These circumstances greatly complicate the task of choosing the best of them. Let’s try to understand this situation.

Radiant heating for green buildings

The heating of homes created to compensate for the loss of heat in the room and is able to maintain the required temperature in homes with the help of artificial heating of buildings. It is organized by autonomous heating in the cottages and country houses. In order to create the most favorable conditions for life and organized system of heating a country house. You can not talk about the ideal conditions of life, if not a comfortable temperature, but also need the proper distribution of temperature inside all buildings. When heating houses is important to first warm the rooms where people spend most of the time.
Independent heating Detached

Independent heating the cottage and the cottage is a complex process that must exercise professionals. It is important not only to heat the house, you need to make the heating system is within the interior of the premises and in line with the overall design of the house.
independent heating cottage

Currently, independent heating system houses, as well as houses and villas continuously upgraded, improved and perfected, it allows the best support in the homes of the very comfortable temperature, precisely such what you want. Your home will have the most respectable appearance, and at the same time will satisfy all your desires.

It must be remembered that the heating villas has its own specifics. The houses in the cottages are designed to stay in the summer, so the heating system here is different from the heating cottages and houses.

Material PEX Borealis RA-130E

The new material is PEX, Borealis RA-130E is designed specifically for the manufacture of pipes and PEX fittings used in water and heating systems.

Borealis RA-130E is included in the classification of PEX materials under the symbol PP-R-100 (PEX Random Copolymer – PP-R), and in the near future he will be able to displace well-known brand today PEX PP-R-80.

The new material has passed the temperature, strength and hygiene tests in a number of independent organizations. For example, temperature and strength tests at temperatures ranging from plus 20 to plus 110 ° C were carried out in a European center of Bodycote Polymer (Sweden) by methods that meet international quality standard ISO 9080 and in accordance with the instructions DVGW W544 Testing Center German association of industries of gas and water (Karlsruhe).

The following table summarizes the obtained during the test values of the maximum operating pressure (MPa) for PEX RA-130E (PP-R-100). Ibid, for comparison, are the requirements for standard PEX PP-R-80.

The results of comparative tests of PEX Borealis RA-130E (PP-R-100) with four standard values of temperature

Values in the table the maximum operating pressure can be used as input parameters in the calculation of pipelines in the water and heating systems.

During studies at plus 110 C, as a coolant used not only hot water, but superheated steam. During prolonged heat stress were recorded various states of the material, reflecting the dynamics of his condition. The result was a family of “isotherms strength” RA-130E (PP-R-100) at various fixed temperatures. These isotherms represent a set of dependencies, change the maximum operating pressure (pressure stress) as a function of the life of the material at fixed temperatures.

When operating at high temperatures 95-110 C service life of pipelines made of a new modification of PEX will be 25-30% higher than that of pipes made from standard PEX PP-R-80.V water systems should be applied pipelines hygienically safe materials. In European countries, there are a number of normative documents, strictly regulating the procedure for confirmation of the claim. Drinking water, long time in pipelines must not change the taste and smell of purchase. PEX PP-R-80 for thirty years been subjected to independent auditing organizations, and the testimony of impeccable hygienic characteristics of the material is widely used not only in pipelines, but also for food packaging.

Testing center of German industry association of gas and PEX plumbing (Karlsruhe), regularly publishes “worksheets” – quality certificates, which confirm that the tubes made from Borealis RA-130E (PP-R-100), drinking water remains clean.

To date, modification of PEX “Borealis RA-130E” (PP-R-100) has already certified more than 20 countries, including Canada.
