Abstract: A pump set comprising a compressor followed by a liquid ring vacuum pump with the two pumps matched to each other so that a relatively small liquid ring vacuum pump can draw and maintain vacuum under 40 Torr.
Abstract: In a liquid ring compressor with a liquid separator which has a liquid take-off point in its housing which is fed by the liquid ring co-rotating with the impeller and connected through connecting lines outside the housing to internal auxiliary liquid circuits, a liquid jet pump is installed in the connecting line and supplied with operating fluid from the liquid take-off point and is used to return liquid which is separated from the compressed gas at least during the start up of the compressor.
