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 needed 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 mineral oil that is through a distillation process to reduce its vapor pressure. These vacuum pumps possess an oil-free air compress ultimate vacuum, occasionally called “blank off” vacuum, of 0.010 Torr (10 microns, 1 x 10-2 Torr or 0.0133 mbar).
