Working Mechanism
- Procon rotary vane pumps have a rotor with vanes inside a cylindrical casing.
- When the rotor spins, the vanes slide out due to the eccentric shape.
- This motion creates expanding chambers that draw in fluids or gases.
- As the rotor turns, the vanes push the fluid or gas towards the outlet, creating a vacuum or generating flow.
Features
- Procon 4 Series rotary vane pumps have brass housing that accounts for durability.
- They are self-priming and have nitrile / fluorocarbon elastomers to achieve wear-resistant sealing.
- These rotary vane pumps can handle temperatures up to 320 degrees F.
- Selected models have relief valves to handle and dissipate excess pressures (above the maximum operational pressure).
Frequently Asked Questions
How do rotary vane pumps achieve a vacuum?
Rotary vane pumps achieve a vacuum by creating expanding chambers when the vanes slide outwards due to the eccentricity of the rotor. This action draws in the gas or fluid from the inlet and then pushes it towards the outlet.
What are the factors to consider while choosing a rotary vane pump?
Selecting the appropriate pump size depends on factors like desired flow rate, vacuum level, operating temperature and the type of fluid being handled.
Is there a way to determine the rotational direction of Procon rotary vane pumps?
Each Procon rotary vane pump has directional arrows (clockwise / counter-clockwise) at the front that represent the rotational direction.
How can I keep oil out of the pumped gas or fluid?
To prevent oil contamination, ensure you use the right type of oil and replace it at regular intervals. Additionally, proper filtration and periodic oil checks are essential to maintain oil cleanliness.
