What Is a Liquid Ring Compressor?
Liquid ring compressors are machines widely used in refrigeration and air compression equipment.
They operate by sealing the compression chamber inside the compressor with liquid. The operational principle is characterized by the motor rotating a screw, causing the compression of air, and the sealing and liquid supply to the exhaust chamber through the liquid sealing valve.
In refrigeration equipment, they are used for compressing refrigerants in air conditioning units and refrigerators. In air compression equipment, they find application in air compressors and air tools. The mechanism of a liquid ring compressor primarily consists of a screw, a liquid sealing valve, and liquid. They have the advantage of low oil usage and minimal noise. As a precaution, it’s essential to confirm the type and size and ensure safe usage. There are two types: single-stage and multi-stage, each with different merits and handling complexities.
