Liquid ring compressor with side shield located inlet separator

摘要

A liquid ring compressor comprising at least one side shield having a suction connection leading to a suction chamber and a discharge connection leading to a pressure chamber. A cam disk spatially delimits the suction and pressure chambers from the working chamber of the liquid ring compressor. The cam disk comprises a suction slot that establishes fluid-flow communication between the suction chamber and the working chamber and a delivery slot that establishes fluid-flow communication between the pressure chamber and the working chamber. A separating and quieting configuration is provided in the suction chamber to separate and settle a portion of liquid from a drawn-in gas-liquid mixture so that the separated liquid may be removed from the suction chamber. The removal of a portion of the liquid prevents compressor performance from decreasing.
