Liquid ring vacuum pumps

single-stage

LPH 80540, LPH 80553

Suction range: 120 to 1013 mbar

Suction volume flow: 1500 to 3300 m³/h

CONSTRUCTION TYPE

Sterling SIHI liquid ring vacuum pumps are displacement pumps of

uncomplicated and robust construction with the following particular
features:
Handling of nearly all gases and vapours
non-polluting due to nearly isothermal compression
oil-free, as no lubrication in the working chamber
small quantities of entrained liquid can be handled
easy maintenance and reliable operation
low noise and nearly free from vibration
wide choice of material, therefore applicable nearly
everywhere
incorporated dirt drain
incorporated central drain
no metallic contact of the rotating parts
The Sterling SIHI liquid ring vacuum pumps LPH 80540 and
LPH 80553 are single-stage ones. They can be applied with small
modification as compressors up to a compression pressure of
1,5 bar (see catalogue part K).
NOTE

During operation the pump must continuously be supplied with

APPLICATION service liquid, normally water, in order to eliminate the heat
Handling and exhausting of dry and humid gases; entrained liquid resulting from the gas compression and to replenish the liquid ring,
can be handled during normal duty. The pumps are applied in all because part of the liquid is leaving the pump together with the gas.
fields where a pressure of 120...900 mbar must be created by This liquid can be separated from the gas in a liquid separator ( see
robust vacuum pumps. catalogue part accessories).
Fields of application are for example It is possible to reuse the service liquid. The pumps are equipped
chemistry and pharmacy for distilling and degassing with a device by which the contaminated service liquid can
electric industry for impregnation and drying continuously be drained during operation (dirt drain), if necessary.
plastics industry for degassing etc. The direction of rotation is clockwise, when looking from the drive
on the pump.
