SIHILPH-X - Liquid Ring Vacuum Pump

Two Stage

LPH 45008, LPH 45311, LPH 45316

Pressure Range: 33 to 1013 mbar

Suction Volume: 55 to 258 m³/h
CONSTRUCTION
Sterling SIHI liquid ring vacuum pumps have a simple but robust
construction with the following features and benefits:
Near isothermal compression
Oil free, with no internal lubrication
Capable of handling almost all gases and vapours
Able to handle quantities of liquid “carry over”
Low maintenance and safe operation
Low noise and almost vibration free
Available in a wide range of materials
Broad range of applications
O-ring sealing as standard
Cavitation protection as standard
Drain hole as standard
Built-in solids drain
Rotating metallic parts are non contacting to minimise wear
ATEX compliance
Sterling SIHI liquid ring vacuum pumps of the range LPH 45008,
LPH 45311 and LPH 45316 are two stage pumps. In addition, the
LPH 45008 and LPH 45316 can be used as compressors without
any modification. (see the Technical Catalogue - Liquid Ring
Compressors)
