A liquid ring vacuum pump is simple to operate and is utilized in several applications across various industries. A liquid ring pump works together with a sealant required in its operation. This liquid could be water, oil or any additional solvent which is rotated by an impeller within the casing of the pump.

The typical oil used in a sizable rotary piston vacuum pump is a oil-free air compress mineral oil that has been through a distillation process to reduce its vapor pressure. These vacuum pumps have an ultimate vacuum, occasionally known as “blank off” vacuum, of 0.010 Torr (10 microns, 1 x 10-2 Torr or 0.0133 mbar).
