Liquid-ring
vacuum pump needs
no cooling water
ECO-Seal is a new design of
recirculation
system
from
Graham Precision Pumps which
uses lubricant rather than water
as a seal fluid. This eliminates
the need for a constant supply
of water (supplied at 15C ideally) to pull and maintain the
desired
level
of
vacuum
demanded by a conventional liquid ring pump installation. Even
if a full recovery system is used,
water sealed pumps require
water to make up for the liquid
temperature in the circuit. ECOSeal systems use ambient air as
the cooling source.
ECO-Seal systems are supplied as complete self-contained
units pre wired and ready for
operation
with a choice of
accessories to enable customised designs to be supplied.
It offers increased capacity
at high vacuum due to the low

vapour pressure characteristics

of the lubricant seal fluid.This
reduces the power requirements and so the running costs.
The system is highly reliable
with only one moving part, the
impeller shaft assembly, and
requires a minimum level of
maintenance. The seal fluid
requires
replacement
after
approximately 10000 hours of
continuous or intermittent operation in most cases. ECO-Seal
systems have extremely low
noise levels and minimal vibration measurements giving the
operator a comfortable environment for working.
A wide range of seal fluids
are available to best suit the
application. Most of the seal fluids will also provide corrosion
protection of the internal parts
and prevent scale forming. Any
solids carried over to the vacuum system are filtered out to
stop erosion of the unit.
