Abstract

See full text

A method for operating a liquid ring vacuum pump employs taking vibration measurements of the pump and comparing the measurements with a prescribed cavitation threshold. In addition, a measurement representing the liquid content in the gas to be conveyed is taken. This measurement is compared with a prescribed threshold. The rotational speed of the liquid ring vacuum pump is reduced if the prescribed cavitation threshold has been exceeded and the liquid content is less than the prescribed threshold. The rotational speed is increased if the prescribed cavitation threshold has been exceeded and the liquid content is greater than the prescribed threshold. A liquid ring vacuum pump is designed for implementing the method. Due to the regulation depending on the oscillations of the pump, the pump can be operated near the cavitation boundary without any risk of damage.
