KINNEY®

AIR EJECTOR LIQUID RING

In this system, an air ejector is inserted between the mechanical

lobe-type booster and the liquid ring pump. This enhances pump
Booster
performance across a wide range of sealant properties, and lowers
the booster discharge pressure. The result is significantly lower
continuous operating vacuum levels without increasing horsepower
requirements. Ambient air or recirculated process gas is used as
motive gas in the air ejector. To allow high-capacity pumping at 30 Air Ejector

Torr or above, motive air shut-off valves and a bypass manifold may
be added to the system. Air ejectors are also used without boosters
for certain applications where system simplicity is beneficial.

Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems (TVBS) is a pioneer in the

development of vacuum pump technology.
Introduced in 1926, the Kinney® rotary piston
vacuum principle still sets the industry
standard for high performance, reliability, ROTARY PISTON
VACUUM PUMPS
AND SYSTEMS
low maintenance and quiet operation in
a mechanical vacuum pump design. These
same performance features are demonstrated
in all the TVBS vacuum pump product
lines: liquid ring pumps, dry pumps, vane
pumps and our main line of rotary piston
pumps. In addition, all pump designs can be
incorporated in complete TVBS-engineered
vacuum systems.
