Abstract : In manufacturing enterprises, electricity costs have become the third largest expense after raw material costs and labor costs. Given today's tight electricity supply, saving electricity has become a major concern for business operators. Water-circulating vacuum systems are widely used in various industries, becoming one of the important pieces of equipment in production, and also one of the main power-consuming devices. Therefore, frequency conversion energy-saving retrofitting of water-circulating vacuum pumps has certain practical significance. According to the requirements of the production process, our company has a vacuum system consisting of three water-circulating vacuum pumps. During use, two vacuum pumps operate at their maximum speed for extended periods, while the other is on standby. In actual production conditions, the actual mechanical effective pumping rate of the vacuum system is much higher than the designed effective pumping rate for most of the time; with a fixed speed, the actual vacuum level is much higher than the vacuum level required for production, resulting in a serious waste of power consumption of the vacuum pump motor. [b]Analysis of Water-Circulating Vacuum Pump Operation Conditions 1. Basic Principles of Water-Circulating Vacuum Pumps[/b] Water ring vacuum pumps are the most common type of liquid ring vacuum pump. Liquid ring vacuum pumps have a multi-bladed rotor eccentrically mounted inside the pump casing. When it rotates, it throws liquid against the pump casing, forming a liquid ring concentric with the casing. This liquid ring, along with the rotor blades, creates a rotary variable displacement vacuum pump with periodically changing volume. When the working liquid is water, it is called a water ring pump. In a water ring pump, the impeller rotates within the pump body, forming a water ring and a working chamber. The water ring and impeller form a crescent-shaped space. The right half of the crescent shape increases in volume, forming the intake chamber, while the left half decreases in volume, constituting the compression process (equivalent to the exhaust chamber). The pumped gas enters the intake chamber through the inlet pipe and inlet port. As the rotor rotates further, the gas is compressed and discharged through the exhaust port and exhaust pipe. The discharged gas and water droplets enter the water tank through the exhaust pipe. At this point, the gas separates from the water; the gas is discharged into the atmosphere through a pipe, while the water enters the pump from the water tank or is discharged into a drainage system through a pipe.
