Gardner Denver Nash: Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps

The document describes how a Gardner Denver Nash liquid ring vacuum pump works. It uses a liquid, such as water, that forms a ring around a spinning rotor. As the rotor chambers pass by the inlet port, they draw in gas which is then compressed and discharged out of the pump. The liquid ring acts like pistons in a cylinder to compress the gas in continuous, pulsation-free flow from inlet to outlet.

Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps

How they work


1 From outside, the rugged NASH vacuum pump only
hints at how its internal parts function. Shaft bearings on
heavy cast iron brackets are easily accessible for servicing.
The top connection of the pump is the inlet, while the side
section is the discharge. Some NASH pumps do have a dif-
ferent orientation. The NASH liquid ring vacuum pump
uses water or any other suitable liquid, which acts as “liquid
piston”: hence, the name liquid ring.

2 It’s apparent that the chambers between the


rotor blades, shown here in yellow, are open
around the periphery. However, not easy to see,
the chambers are open on the inside, as well.
These inner edges of the rotor blades are machined
to rotate around the cone surface (shown here in
red), with a close non-contact fit.

body do while the pum is in operation. The spinning of blue
liquid forms a ring due to centrifugal force. Because the
rotor axis and the body axis are offset from each other, the
liquid ring is not concentric with the rotor.
