Vacuum Pump Liquid Silencers
Vacuum Pump Liquid Silencers
Separator-silencers are used to remove liquid from gas flow vacuum systems using either liquid-sealed rotary positive blowers or liquid ring vacuum pumps. Separator-silencers may be required for both the inlet (vacuum) and the discharge (atmospheric) of a vacuum system. Only the most stringent acoustical environments require significant inlet silencing. An inlet separator provides corrosion protection for the vacuum pump by removing most, if not all, of the process liquid before it enters the vacuum pump. The vacuum pump or blower discharge is normally extremely noisy and requires a high-performance separator-silencer.
Vacuum Pump and Liquid Removal System Example
Air and liquid enter the inlet separator-silencer during processing (1). Process liquid is removed (2), and air enters the vacuum pump (3). The pump takes in seal liquid (4). Air and seal liquid are pumped into the discharge separator-silencer (5), which removes the liquid (6) and sends the air into the atmosphere (7).
RWVS/UWVS Series Inlet Liquid Separator-Silencers
The RWVS and low profile UWVS inlet liquid separator-silencers provide corrosion protection for vacuum pumps by removing most of the process liquid before it enters the vacuum pump. These separators are best suited for full vacuum conditions under critical applications which require inlet silencing. Exterior surfaces receive a shop coat of rust inhibitive primer.

RWSI/UWSI Series Inlet Liquid Separator-Silencers
The RWSI and low profile UWSI inlet liquid separator-silencers provide corrosion protection for vacuum pumps by removing most of the process liquid before it enters the vacuum pump. These separators are best suited for full vacuum conditions under critical applications, which require inlet silencing. The RWSI models have a unique profile and larger pipe sizes than the RWVS series. Exterior surfaces receive a shop coat of rust inhibitive primer.

RVCS/UVCS Series Discharge Liquid Separator-Silencers
The RVCS and low profile UVCS models provide high performance liquid separation and noise attenuation. When an inlet separator is not installed, the discharge separator may need to be over-sized. Exterior surfaces receive a shop coat of rust inhibitive primer.

RVRS/UVRS Series Discharge Liquid Separator-Silencers
The RVRS and low profile UVRS models offer better attenuation than the RVCS and UVCS models. For pipe sizes 1"-3", the RVRS has a side liquid outlet, while the RVCS has a vertical liquid outlet. Exterior surfaces receive a shop coat of rust inhibitive primer.
