ATLANTIC FLUIDICS® THE REVOLUTIONARY ATLANTIC FLUIDICS® PUMP DESIGN Introducing the Atlantic Fluidics Liquid Ring Vacuum Pump, featuring the proprietary Fluid-Vac® axial flow design. This rugged, compact-design pump generates the highest vacuum of any comparable liquid ring pump. A fixed port cylinder, concentric with the rotor bore, directs the gas along the shaft axis, into the suction ports of the rotor and finally back through the rotor and rear of the pump for discharge. Because the gas flow is along the motor shaft (and not at right angles), the pump can start flooded, without damage....

ATLANTIC FLUIDICS® PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Atlantic Fluidics® Vacuum Pumps GAS OUT consist of a shrouded motor rotatCASING ing freely within an eccentric casing. There is no metal-to-metal INLET PORT contact between the rotor and the casing. Centrifugal force acting on liquid within the pump causes the liquid to form a ring inside the casing. A fixed port cylinder concentric with the rotor directs the gas into the suction ports. Gas is trapped between the blades by the liquid pistons formed by centrifugal force as the liquid recedes from the port cylinder. It is trapped GAS SUCTION at the...

ATLANTIC FLUIDICS® “T” SERIES MULTI-STAGE PUMPS Atlantic Fluidics® “T” Series Multi-stage Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps utilize the same axial flow design as the “A” Series Single-stage pumps, but with an additional stage to provide deeper vacuum levels. This patented pump style is designed for high wet vacuum applications where they can operate with the lowest partial gas pressure without cavitation. Ideally suited for evaporators, deaerators, autoclaves, dryers and other applications requiring vacuum higher than 27 In. Hg. When packaged in oil sealed systems, “T” Series pumps can operate in...

ATLANTIC FLUIDICS® An important consideration in planning a liquid ring vacuum pump installation is the design of the sealant system and its effect on the performance of the pump. TVS recommends early consideration be given to sealant system design because there are several elements of pump sizing, selection and system design that will be affected by the choice of the sealant system. Operating pressure is affected by sealant temperature, flow rate, specific heat, density and viscosity The gas load may influence the selection of the sealant and the sealant system The economic priorities may...

ATLANTIC FLUIDICS® The Partial-sealant Recovery System discharges water and gas into a gas/liquid separator tank. The gas vents from the top of the tank, while the water is retained. Approximately half of the water is disposed through an overflow; the remainder re-circulates back through the pump. Fresh water is added to maintain proper sealing water temperature. In order to keep the amount of make-up water to a minimum, the system may be fitted with a temperature modulation valve. A100 AIR COOLED FULL-SEALANT RECOVERY The Full-sealant Recovery System (pictured) is a closed-loop system. The...
