NASH Vectra Oil Sealed Packages deliver reliable vacuum performance in a standard, pre-engineered system that uses oil as the seal liquid instead of water. Oil sealed packages are self-contained, eliminate water usage and disposal costs, and can attain higher vacuum levels that with water. Constructed around the heavy duty Vectra XL vacuum pump, our Vectra Oil Sealed systems are engineered for rigorous duty in the chemical and oil & gas industries.
Why Oil Seal over Traditional
One of the best features of the liquid ring pump is that it can operate with a multitude of different fluids as the seal liquid. The benefits of a self-contained oil sealed system over a traditional water sealed system include:
Eliminates water usage and disposal costs
Allows you to install it in remote locations where water may not be available
Allows you to attain higher vacuum levels than with water
Easy filter change without disconnecting piping
Can prevent the condensing or dissolving of a process gas
Simple Rugged Construction
At the heart of the oil sealed system is a durable NASH liquid ring pump, known to provide many years of reliable service, even in the most demanding processes. An oil sealed liquid ring system is more tolerant of carryover and wear, and it provides quiet operation. The oil is not required for lubrication which means it can operate at extremely long intervals between oil changes, easily going more than 10,000 hours with no downtime. Aside from a periodic oil and filter change, the system can run for years with no scheduled maintenance.
