In vacuum systems, liquid contamination is a common issue that can lead to corrosion of internal components and pump oil degradation. Standard gas-liquid separators are often used to intercept liquid droplets, but they face challenges when dealing with high-temperature environments, where liquids vaporize into steam. Once steam enters the vacuum pump, it can condense back into liquid inside the pump, causing damage over time.
The Challenge of Steam in Vacuum Systems
Liquids under high temperatures evaporate, making them difficult to capture with conventional separators.
Steam ingress can lead to:
- Pump oil contamination, reducing lubrication efficiency
- Corrosion of metal components, shortening pump lifespan
- Reduced vacuum performance due to pressure fluctuations
Vacuum Pump Condensing Gas-Liquid Separator
Our condensing-type gas-liquid separator is specifically designed to handle steam and vapor in high-temperature vacuum applications, such as:
✔ Vacuum degassing (removing bubbles from liquids)
✔ Vacuum drying (food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries)
✔ Vacuum packaging (preventing moisture-related spoilage)
How It Works: Efficient Steam Condensation & Separation
1. Cooling Mechanism
- The separator integrates a chiller unit and heat exchanger, ensuring rapid cooling of incoming steam.
- The chilled coolant (circulated at controlled temperatures) condenses steam back into liquid form.
2. Spiral Flow Path for Optimal Separation
- The gas-vapor mixture enters a helical channel, where steam condenses on the cooled surfaces.
- Liquid droplets flow downward into a collection tank for easy disposal.
- Dry gas continues upward and exits through the pump inlet, ensuring only clean gas enters the vacuum system.
Key Advantages
✅ Prevents pump damage – Eliminates steam-induced corrosion and oil contamination
✅ Maintains vacuum stability – No pressure drops caused by liquid re-evaporation
✅ Versatile applications – Suitable for industries requiring high-temperature vacuum processes
Unlike conventional gas-liquid separators, the Condensing Separator ensures liquid and steam removal, protecting vacuum pumps in demanding environments. Whether for industrial drying, food packaging, or chemical processing, this solution enhances system reliability and longevity. If the temperature difference between steam and tap water is as high as 50°C, tap water can also be used as a coolant.
