Steam turbine condensing


Liquid ring vacuum pumps are used for the start-up and condensing operations of steam turbine condensers.

Waterworks
Liquid ring compressors are used to aerate the water, for the oxidation process, and to effect a reverse flow through the filters.

Sludge extraction vehicles


A liquid ring vacuum pump is used to produce a vacuum in a collecting tank into which sludge is then pumped.

Vacuum toilets
Sewage is pumped pneumatically into a collecting tank under vacuum.

Lowering of the ground water table


Liquid ring vacuum pumps are used to evacuate a tank. Air and ground water are extracted from filter pipes over the tank.

Steam and gas sterilisers


Before and after sterilisation, the steriliser chambers are evacuated with the help of liquid ring vacuum pumps.

Applications
Typical markets and applications for the Sterling SIHI range of vacuum pumps are set out in the accompanying table and some are described below:

Plastics processing extrusion


Liquid ring vacuum pumps are used to de-gas and dry the plastic compound prior to extrusion.

Vacuum mixing equipment


Vacuum mixing equipment is used in the production of liquid and paste like products. By continuous deaeration and degassing, a very high degree of homogeneity of the products is achieved.

Chemical and pharmaceutical industry


The Sterling SIHI range of liquid ring and dry running vacuum pumps are used for distillation, drying, condensing, absorption, evaporation and filtration. The SIHI range of vacuum pumps are suitable for use with all types of vacuum filtration, distillation, evaporation and drying equipment.

Vacuum calibration
Liquid ring vacuum pumps are employed to generate a vacuum which draws the plastic profile against the walls of the mould.

Sugar mills
Liquid ring compressors are used for compressing carbon dioxide; liquid ring vacuum pumps are employed in the vacuum pan house and for drying purposes.

Drying and impregnation of wood


Wood can be dried quickly and without cracking if it is put under vacuum before being impregnated.

Solvent recovery systems


To avoid health hazards and environmental pollution, exhaust flows containing solvents are cleaned. The processes applied to recover the solvents use liquid ring or dry running vacuum pumps, or liquid ring compressors.

Milk collecting tank trucks


Milk is drawn out of the tanks in dairy farms and into the tanker by means of a liquid ring vacuum pump.

Automatic bottling plant


Bottles and cans are evacuated before filling. This process creates a low-oxygen atmosphere which prevents the beverage from oxidising.

Liquid Ring Vacuum


Vacuum pumps 100.000 Compressors

...cool, robust and cost effective


Operating principle of a liquid ring vacuum pump is as follows: I An impeller (A) is mounted eccentric to a round pump body (B) and enclosed between two end-plates. As the body is partially filled with service liquid before operation, the impeller rotation creates a liquid ring (C) concentric to the body by the action of centrifugal force.

Gas ejectors

I Because of the eccentric mounting, the liquid ring does not simultaneously fill all of the cavities between the impeller blades. Some cavities are momentarily empty whilst some are completely full. I As the cavities pass the suction port, the volume of liquid within them reduces, and this in-turn creates a negative pressure. This acts as the pumps suction, drawing more gas from the vessel to be evacuated. I As the impeller continues to rotate, these cavities become filled with the liquid ring, and the entrained gas is compressed. As rotation continues past the discharge port, all gas and some service liquid is forced out of the pump. The liquid ring can be regenerated through the use of a separator (D).

I During the compression cycle the liquid ring is heated. To ensure that the temperature of the service liquid is maintained below that at which its vapour pressure would compromise the efficiency of the pump, it is cooled by the addition of make up liquid (E). The evacuated gas is discharged from the separator via outlet (F) and service liquid is discharged through port (G). Alternatively, a heat exchanger can be incorporated into the recirculated flow of service liquid in order to maintain a closed system.

For over 80 years Sterling SIHI has maintained it's position as a leading supplier of liquid ring vacuum pumps, liquid ring compressors and gas ejectors to a wide range of process and related markets. Close contact is maintained with customers to ensure that product development is geared to market place needs. This is supported by investment in state of the art manufacturing to promote consistent quality, competitive lead times and ensure competitive pricing. Full technical support is available for demanding applications. The comprehensive Sterling SIHI range of liquid ring vacuum pumps is available in single and two stage designs, with suction capacities up to 12000 m3/h and suction pressures in the range 33 to 1013 mbar. Above atmospheric pressure these pumps can be used as compressors. I Liquid ring vacuum pumps and compressors can handle almost any gas or vapour I No contact between individual rotating parts I The materials of construction can be selected to suit the operating conditions

I The compression process is largely isothermal I The pumps offered can safely handle explosive gases and toxic or carcinogenic media I Because of their vapour condensing abilities, the suction performance is increased with saturated vapours

I Single or double mechanical seals ensure low leakage rates. Where no leakage is important magnetic drive versions are offered I Operates with low noise and low vibration I A high degree of operational safety with minimum maintenance I Entrained liquid can be pumped with the evacuated gas I Compliant with the major safety requirements covering use of equipment in hazardous environments e.g. ATEX I In cases where a liquid ring vacuum pump cannot achieve the required end-pressure, the working range can be extended to a lower absolute pressure (down to 4 mbar) by connecting a Sterling SIHI gas ejector to the pump

The SIHIdry vacuum pump is a vertical twin-screw machine that is completely dry running and has no mechanical shaft seals. Moreover, the hermetically sealed unit has been developed specifically to meet these demands, whilst maintaining a simple, cost-effective solution. With particle and liquid handling capabilities the self-draining SIHIdry unit, in its very basic form, offers superior resistance to both corrosion and heat-accelerated deposition. Importantly, this basic layout provides the platform for an extensive range of intelligent modules that can be incorporated in order to exactly match dynamic process requirements. Retaining its simple but modular design, the standard unit can interface with most Distributed Control Systems (DCSs) and also offers a single-plug digital interface with a standard Ethernet if plant monitoring and running history are important. The SIHIdry was developed in order to operate with explosive media, both internally and externally. Consequently, it was the first vacuum pump to be accredited with ATEX 100a. Moreover, the formal risk assessment indicated that it is possible to use this pump as an ATEX Category 2 machine without flame arresters and their associated problems. The SIHI range of dry running vacuum pumps is available with ATEX Category 1, T4 internal certification for use with Zone 0 explosive media. Interestingly, ATEX Category 2, for use with Zone 1 explosive media is possible without the need to fit flame arresters.

Non contacting screws means no wear parts, extended pump life and low maintenance No mechanical shaft seals means no wear parts, extended pump life and low maintenance

No oil or service liquid means no disposal costs

Extremely quiet with no gear box

Single plug interface option permits remote monitoring

To meet the demands of the process industry, Sterling SIHI offers completely dry running vacuum pumps. Dry running vacuum pumps are used increasingly throughout industry where there is:
I

Integrated overload protection to ensure reliability and availability

Growing demand for uncontaminated vacuum, free from oil or service liquid A requirement for low operating pressures Flexibility required from batch processes Concern about storage and disposal costs of service liquids Pressure to minimise life-cycle costs
