Water Ring Vacuum Pumps – JD Vacuum Service
Introduction to Water Ring Vacuum Pumps
What Are Water Ring Vacuum Pumps?
Water ring vacuum pumps (LIQUID RING VACUUM PUMP) are rotary positive displacement pumps that use water as the sealing medium. These pumps are widely used in industries where moisture, vapor, and gases must be handled efficiently.
How Do They Work?
A rotating impeller forms a ring of water inside the pump casing. This water ring creates chambers that trap and compress gas, generating a stable vacuum. Their simplicity makes them highly durable and easy to operate.

Troubleshooting Guide for Key Issues
Reduced Pump Performance:
- Inspect suction and discharge lines for leaks or blockages.
- Check impellers for signs of wear or damage and replace if necessary.
- Ensure the seal liquid flow rate is within the recommended range.
- Monitor the seal liquid used and its vapor pressure, as changes can affect vacuum levels.
- Analyze original design parameters against current operating conditions, especially regarding gaseous composition and cooling water temperature.
- Confirm back pressure is as per design conditions.
Unusual Noises or Vibrations:
- Inspect the pump for signs of misalignment (belts or couplings) and adjust if necessary.
- Check bearings for signs of wear or damage and replace if needed.
- Look for signs of cavitation, such as pitting or erosion on the impellers, and address the issue promptly.
- Ensure proper pump mounting.
Overheating:
- Monitor the cooling water flow rate and adjust as necessary.
- Regularly clean heat exchangers to remove any debris or contaminants.
- Ensure proper lubrication of the pump’s bearings and other moving parts.
- Check for high inlet temperatures or clogging of the discharge port.
