21 - ENGINEERING DATA FOR “OILSYS” SYSTEMS
WORKING PRINCIPLE
OILSYS packages main components are: a liquid ring vacuum pump ITEM 4 from series TRH, TRS, TRM, TRV, an
air/liquid separator
reservoir
ITEM 1B which is also a self-contained frame,
a heat exchanger ITEM 9 and an oil
demister filter ITEM 1C.
Turbine type mineral oil, or equal (see tab. 12), is used for
service liquid. The characteristics of the chosen oil are such that
at pressures below 100 mbar, the pump capacity is greater than
what would be when using water, and higher vacuum levels are
attainable. When working, the vacuum pump discharges the gas
handled with a portion of the liquid in the special frame ITEM 1B
that acts as separator of gas from the oil and let settle any
condensable or particles coming through the pump suction
flange. The circulator pump ITEM 22 pumps the oil back to the
vacuum pump after it has been through the heat exchanger
ITEM 9 and cooled at about 60/80°C. The gas is vented after being cleaned of all oil with the special oil demister
element; a pressure gauge ITEM 14 on the filter housing ITEM 1C gives indication of the degree of dirt contained by the
filter element. Special inspection openings ITEMS 43 are easily accessible for maintenance and cleaning of the frame
separator. Contrary to rotary vane vacuum pumps, there are no moving parts that come in contact with each other,
therefore there is no need for lubrication of the pump internals; these are very robust and reliable pump packages which
offer extended operating life even when handling condensable gases.
