A liquid ring vacuum pump is simple to operate and is used in several applications across various industries. A liquid band pump works together with a sealant needed in its Liquid-Ring Vacuum Pump operation. This liquid could be water, essential oil or any other solvent which can be rotated by an impeller within the casing of the pump.

As the shaft turns, a liquid ring is created by the centrifugal force generated by the rotating impeller. This pressure holds the liquid ring against the inner wall structure of the pumping chamber. Since the impeller is located eccentric to the pumping chamber, the depth of entry of the blades in to the liquid ring decreases and improves as the impeller rotates. This creates increasing cell quantity on the inlet port side, creating vacuum.

On the discharge slot side, the impeller cell volume decreases as the blades move further into the liquid ring. This escalates the pressure until discharge occurs through the discharge interface.

A continuing flow of clean sealing liquid comes to the pump via the sealing-liquid inlet.

Regarding the two-stage liquid band pump, the discharge from the first stage will not discharge to atmosphere. Instead, the initial stage discharges through the manifold resulting in the second stage in addition to through a discharge interface located in the intermediate plate between your first- and second-stage impellers.
