Detailed Implementation

[0025] The attached figure shows the preferred embodiment of this water ring vacuum unit. The following is a more detailed description of this application in conjunction with the attached figure.

[0026] Depend on Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, a water ring vacuum unit includes a vacuum tank 1, a water ring vacuum pump 2, and a gas-water separator 3. The above three components, together with the control box, are integrated on a skid-mounted chassis to achieve modularization.

[0027] The inlets of the two parallel water ring vacuum pumps 2 are connected to the vacuum tank 1 via pipelines, and the outlets of the water ring vacuum pumps 2 are connected to the gas-water separator 3 via pipelines.

[0028] The outlet pipe 3013 of the gas-water separator 3 is connected to the inlet of the water ring vacuum pump 2 via a pipeline, and the pump is connected in series on the pipeline. The top of the gas-water separator 3 is connected to the gas chamber of the water ring vacuum pump 2 via a gas chamber pipe 3014.

[0029] Vacuum tank 1 serves as an energy storage device, providing buffering and pressure stabilization. Gas-liquid separator 3 acts as a circulating water storage device, simultaneously separating the discharged gas into gas and liquid components. Two water ring vacuum pumps 2 function as vacuum generating devices, employing a dual-pump design with each pump serving as a backup for the other, and featuring alternating and delayed operating modes:

[0030] In delay mode, when the vacuum pressure gauge reading is higher than the starting pressure, water ring vacuum pump #1 (2) starts running. After water ring vacuum pump #1 runs for 20 seconds, water ring vacuum pump #2 (2) starts running until the vacuum pressure gauge reaches the set value, at which point both pumps stop. The next time the system runs, water ring vacuum pump #2 (2) starts first, and this cycle of delay-based start / stop is repeated.

[0031] In alternating mode, the vacuum pump unit starts only one water ring vacuum pump 2 at a time, and alternates between starting and stopping according to the vacuum pressure gauge reading.

[0032] To achieve the dual function of gas-liquid separator 3 as both a gas-liquid separator and a circulating water storage device, in this embodiment, [the following is a description of the process]. Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the gas-liquid separator 3 includes a tank body 301. A rotary joint 3010 is fixed inside the tank body 301. The air inlet of the rotary joint 3010 is connected to the exhaust port of the water ring vacuum pump 2 via an air inlet pipe 308. The exhaust port of the rotary joint 3010 is connected to a vertically arranged rotating pipe 3011. Several nozzles 3012, arranged in a ring array around the top of the rotating pipe 3011, are connected through it. The nozzle axes of the nozzles 3012 intersect with the radial lines of the rotating pipe 3011. Air is ejected through the nozzles 3012, which drive the rotating pipe 3011 to rotate, generating centrifugal force, which is used for gas-liquid separation.

[0033] The gas-water separator 3 is provided with an exhaust pipe 307 at the top and a water outlet pipe 3013 is arranged below the rotary joint 3010.

[0034] Furthermore, the tank body 301 is provided with a horizontally arranged partition 302 inside, and a water leakage hole 305 is provided between the partition 302 and the inner wall of the tank body 301. The partition 302 divides the interior of the tank body 301 into an upper gas-water separation chamber 303 and a water storage chamber 304. The spray pipe 3012 is located inside the gas-water separation chamber 303, and the water outlet pipe 3013 is located inside the lower part of the water storage chamber 304.

[0035] In order to reserve space for gas-water separation, the nozzle 3012 is located in the middle area inside the gas-water separation chamber 303.

[0036] To optimize the gas-liquid separation effect, impact separation is added on the basis of centrifugal separation. Therefore, the inner wall of the tank 301 is provided with several vertically arranged impact plates 306, which are located directly above the water leakage hole 305.

[0037] The air inlet end of the rotary joint 3010 is connected to two air inlet pipes 308 through the air collection pipe 309, and the two air inlet pipes 308 are respectively connected to the exhaust ports of the two water ring vacuum pumps 2.

[0038] A cooler can be optionally installed on the outlet pipe 3013 to achieve complete self-circulation of the working fluid and reduce waste. A bacterial filter and exhaust gas sterilizer can be optionally installed on the exhaust pipe 307 to sterilize and inactivate the exhaust gas, meeting environmental protection requirements.

[0039] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application.
