It is related to the vacuum pump. STATE OF THE ART 15 A pump is used to move, pressurize, or circulate liquids or gases from one place to another. These are machines or devices used for production purposes. They have different operating principles. Although there are many types of pumps, they are generally used to move liquids. They are used in industrial areas, chemical factories, water treatment plants, and energy sectors. widely used in power plants and agricultural irrigation systems, and sugar factories Although used in many places, they are also used in homes for water installations, heating systems and ventilation. They also play an important role in their systems. Today, sugar factories use vacuum pumps; cooking and evaporation station 25 Vacuum pump for condensers, for compressing CO2 gas taken from the lime kiln. It is used in all production processes where a compressor and vacuum are required. 2 The pumps used in current technology have shortcomings in terms of capacity and energy efficiency. It includes.

This is explained as follows. 5 Figures 1, 2, and 3 show the water ring vacuum pump and its details, which is the subject of this invention. It is shown. The invention involves drawing water from the inlet port (7) by forming a rotating ring of water. with a water ring vacuum pump that enables air or gas to be expelled from the outlet port (9) It is related. Under operating conditions, the pump uses water as the liquid; therefore, this 10 The pump is called a water ring vacuum pump. Water ring vacuum These pumps belong to the category of positive displacement pumps, and they are water ring pumps. It operates on the principle that a water loop forms during the operation of the pump. It involves creating the inlet. The fan (15) inside the pump rotates within this water ring. It creates a vacuum by drawing air through port (7). 15 The water ring vacuum pump consists of a cylindrical intermediate casing (1) and an eccentrically designed one. It consists of a fan (15). The pump's working area is with water during its functionality. It is filled. While the fan (15) is rotating, the water should not come into direct contact with the intermediate shell (1). However, the fan (15) forms a water ring covering the blades. This water ring seals 20 In addition to its function, it also undertakes the task of compression. The eccentrically placed fan (15), The water penetrates the ring from different depths, and this ring alternately receives air / gas. It functions like a piston, performing suction and compression operations. The pump is connected to the motor (16) and motor pulley (17) via the V-belt (18) and pump pulley (19) 25 It rotates the pump shaft (2). The pump shaft (2) transmits the power it receives from the electric motor (16) to the fan. (15) transmits. The fan (15) and shaft (2), intermediate housing (1) and bearing for suction and discharge. The head housings (8) are eccentrically positioned. The fan (15) is cyclical. During its movement, the water supplied to the system via the water inlet pipe (10) is accelerated; 6 Thus, a rotating ring of water is formed. This water is formed by the effect of centrifugal force. The ring has a concentric structure with the intermediate housing (1). During the rotational movement of the fan (15) At the top apex, the water ring is closest to the fan axis and the water flows to the fan (15) blades. It fills the gap completely. 5 During the first half turn, as the water ring moves away from the hub of the fan (15), the fan (15) The gap between the wings is increasing, and thus the air / gas located on the mirror(3) It is drawn in through the suction openings (4). This process reaches the lower peak of the fan (15). It continues until it reaches; the gap between the fan (15) blades is largely filled with water. Because it is purified, it reaches its highest level at the lower peak. 10 During the second half turn, the water ring is directed back towards the hub. Fan(15) blades The gap between them decreases, so the sucked air / gas is compressed and on the mirror(3) It is discharged through the outlet port (9) via the discharge openings (5) located there. 15 The Teflon plate flap (14) located above the discharge openings (5) prevents air / gas from entering the pump. by preventing the flow in the reverse direction from the output port (9) to the input port (7) This prevents the formation of pressure. This arrangement allows the pump to operate more efficiently and reduces pressure. It prevents loss. 20 Water ensures the seal between the fan (15) blades, while compression occurs It also helps to absorb the incoming heat. Continuously from the pump along with air / gas. Due to the water that flows out, the pump must be continuously supplied with water during operation. The discharged water is separated from the air / gas using a separator (20) and reused. It is used. Furthermore, the invention ensures a smooth inlet of air / gas to the pump. 25 The suction tank supports the creation of an ideal vacuum inside the pump by enabling it to do so. (21), oil seal (11) which serves as a seal and mechanical seal (13), which prevents friction. by reducing wear and heat, the bearing (12) and the shaft through bearings It includes components such as the bearing housing (6) which provides bearing support. 7 The scope of protection in this application is defined in the claims section and is explicitly stated above. The examples given cannot be limited to those described; a person skilled in the technique can make a difference in the invention. the innovation presented can be achieved by using similar structures and / or This structure can also be applied to other similar fields using the same technique. 5 It is clear that it can be implemented. Therefore, such structures foster innovation and especially technology. It is also obvious that it will lack the criterion of exceeding the known situation.
