Liquid ring vacuum pumps have been employed for removing air from steam surface condensers and industrial processes for over 40 years. They are among the simplest, most reliable method known of pumping gases. A typical vacuum pump Air Removal System for steam condenser service consists of two, identical 100% capacity pump skids. It is common practice to use both pumps simultaneously to evacuate or hog the condenser to the point where steam

Expanding on our growing portfolio of engineered solutions for the power generation industry, Unique Systems is proud to offer packaged Condensate Pump Systems. What originally began as a value-added service to a select group of customers, this type of package has now become a typical offering in our line of process systems.

Liquid ring vacuum pumps have been employed for removing air from main condenser waterboxes for the past 40 years. In the Waterbox Priming application, vacuum pumps evacuate air and any other non-condensable gases from the cooling water piping and waterboxes of the main condenser that services a steam turbine. Lowering the pressure in the waterbox enables the cooling water to be forced up into the waterbox by the atmospheric pressure in a manner similar to the way a barometer functions. This greatly reduces the amount of energy needed to pump the cooling water up into the waterbox and allows cooling water circulation pumps of lower horsepower rating and discharge head pressures to be used. Savings are achieved in both initial capital and operating costs.
