If you’re thinking of having vacuum pumps installed to your home or
workplace, make sure to ask the experts first which one is most ideal for
you. There are actually several types of vacuum pumps that you can use and
each one has its own set of benefits. At the end of the day, the one you’ve
chosen should be the one that “fits” your needs.
Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps
Liquid ring vacuum pumps are normally used for moderate to intensive
vapor load conditions. It is ideal for use because it helps seal compatible
fluids through the use of gas or vapor. When not done correctly, this may
result to harming or destroying the quality of your pumps. The good thing
about liquid rings is the fact that they are very simple to use so even “first
timers” can operate it on their own. Further, it is also inexpensive and does
not require tedious maintenance.
Rotary Vane Pumps
Rotary vane pumps are characterized as oil sealed pumps that can be used
to pump clean, dry and non-reactive gases. This type of pump needs to be
installed in a cool area. Although it is also reliable, it is quite expensive to
maintain because its power is dependent on the use of oil which gets more
and more expensive by the minute.
Rotary Piston Pumps
Rotary piston pumps, classified as industrial grade heavy duty pumps, are
used against high contaminants. In particular, this type is also reliable
considering its power. In addition, its ability to handle discriminating
performances, as well as combat huge amount of contaminants makes it
“cost-efficient”.
Dry Vacuum Pumps
Dry vacuum pumps are machines known for effectively compressing gasses
with the use of a sealing fluid like oil or water. These types of pumps are
oftentimes used in corrosive situations where environmental restrictions may
be present.

Vacuum Boosters
Finally, if you purchased and installed any of these vacuum pumps at home
or in a commercial space and you’d want to add to its pumping capacity, all
you need to purchase are vacuum boosters that are usually compatible with
all of the aforementioned types. These boosters are considered as gas
accelerators that help increase the flow of gas being fed to the vacuum
pump.
