Vacuum pump installed in a high position can give better vacuum
Vacuum pump installed in a high position can give better vacuum
(OP)
Hi, all,
My boss said that somebody told him that if a water ring vacuum pump was installed in a high position(say, on the roof of the plant), then you can get better vacuum. Did anyone hear about this? Is there any theory or logic behind this?
Thanks

Vacuum inside of the pipe is not affected significantly by changes in elevation. Unless the pump is located higher in attempt to separate liquids, I do not see an advantage.
Is he confusing this system with an ejector system which requires barometric leg(s)?
Did you contact a vacuum pump manufacturer for their view?

For the same reason, it is also good practice to locate the vacuum pump as close as possible to the vessel to evacuate - this explains the advice to locate in a high position, as usually this evssel is a condenser or otherwise requires a barometric leg for discharge, so it is normally high.
Last - don' be scroogy, use a big pipe at least suction side.
