Performance Monitoring Analysis of Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps

Abstract

Liquid ring vacuum pump which uses rotating liquid as piston to abstract and compress gas is a kind of rotating positive displacement pump. Its running state implies some fault informantion. To capture performance levels of liquid ring vacuum pump, a comprehensive performance monitoring system includes data acquisition, data reprocessing, data storage, abnormal judgment and fault alarm, performance displaying is developed in this paper. Hence, the performance levels of liquid ring vacuum pump can be observed anytime by the monitoring system, the maintenance cost can be reduced, pumps can be operated at the highest performance level as far as possible, the reliability and the maintainability of liquid ring vacuum pump can be effectively improved by this monitoring system.
