Gas jet vacuum pumps remove gases and/or vapours from process operations thereby
generating a vacuum in the reactor. The suction flow is compressed to a higher pressure.
Applications
Ship-building and chemical industry
- Evacuating suction pipelines of non-self-priming centrifugal pumps.
- Indirect conveyance of liquids, e.g. for taking samples.
Chemical industry and power plants
As a pre-connected stage for liquid ring pumps to lower the suction pressure.
Aluminium production
Indirect conveyance of liquid aluminium. |
