Air vacuum pumps are convenient and beneficial pieces of equipment, used by many businesses and organisations. These pumps are also ideal for businesses that are concerned with environmental issues. These pumps are also extremely efficient, and they can help your business run more efficiently and effectively. You can also purchase air vacuum pumps for your business for a range of purposes, from cleaning to maintenance.
Energy Savings
Compared to conventional vacuum pumps, an air vacuum pump consumes less energy during its operation. It normally only cycles on and off for about 2% of the total operation time. This makes it a highly energy-efficient option, even when used for long periods of time. The following chart will help you evaluate the energy savings of an air vacuum pump. It also shows how much energy is used in pumping a volume of 20 cubic feet.
Increased Response Time
The increased response time of an air vacuum pump is due to the additional energy used during system evacuation. Increasing the capacity of a vacuum pump does not cut the response time in half, but it can improve system performance. In many applications, the time needed for system evacuation depends on the amount of air present in the closed system. Moreover, the length of the tubing may determine the level of vacuum. In this case, the pump size needs to be considered.
No Moving Parts
When you’re looking for an air vacuum pump, you might want to go with one that doesn’t have any moving parts. These pumps can handle air pressures of up to 28 inches of mercury (as), and they can evacuate a cubic foot of volume in as little as 13.2 seconds. No moving parts mean no hassle for maintenance, and an air vacuum pump also saves you money in the long run.
Oil Separation From Gas
When using an air vacuum pump for oil and gas separation, the most basic and inexpensive type is the oil-gas separation pump. This unit consists of a pump housing and an oil-return groove. The bottom of the unit has an air intake, a one-way valve, and filtering equipment. The oil-return groove is located on the pump’s air intake. Upside, there’s a layer that separates the gas and oil. The pump’s end cap includes a relief opening, which is helpful when removing the separated gas.
Conclusion
Before purchasing your air vacuum pump, it is always beneficial to research different models and their features to ensure it aligns with what you plan on using it for. You can often ask the seller/company for advice on each model and advise them of your budget. Air vacuums can be used for many different reasons, and it is best to find the one that is right for you before purchasing.
