How to Identify and Fix Common Vacuum Problems ?
Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced Vacuum Technicians :
Steam ejectors pass steam through an expanding nozzle. The nozzle controls the expansion of steam and converts pressure into velocity; thus, creating a vacuum to transfer gases. An ejector operates on a mass basis, not by displacing volume.
Steam when condensed into water reduces in volume drastically at the order of thosands depending upon the pressure existing inside the condenser, e.g. around 14500 times at 0.1 bar. This enormous reduction in volume creates the vacuum inside the condenser.
The steam ejector pump works by water vapor fluid. It has lesser moving parts than the mechanical vacuum pump, so more durable and cheaper. The water ejector pump works by water fluid. This pump doesn`t work without other combination pumps such as oil rotary vacuum pumps and so on.
An Ejector works by accelerating a high pressure stream (the `motive`) through a nozzle, converting the pressure energy into velocity. Around the nozzle tip, where velocity is highest, a low pressure region is created. This is often called the suction chamber of the Ejector.
Vacuum applies to steam turbines because the pressure of saturated vapour above available cooling water is well below 1 bar (typically 17 mbar at 15°C ambient).
The most critical component of a vacuum system is the ejector, and it consists of four main parts: the steam chest, steam nozzle/s, suction head, and diffuser. Condensers are heat transfer device that promotes condensation. Condensers are designed for removing/exchanging heat between a hot fluid and coolant.
Since, radiation is in the form of electromagnetic waves, it does not require any medium and hence, the waves can pass through vacuum. Hence, the heat transfer through vacuum happens through radiation.
In a vacuum chamber, the pressure can be extremely low. So low, in fact, that water can actually boil at room temperature. So, if you put some water in a high-vacuum chamber you will see it boil. (Then, with all that water vapor around, it won`t be a high vacuum anymore!)
Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps are required to vacuum gas. In simpler terms, it works as an equipment to positively displaced gasses. On the other hand, centrifugal pumps are used to convey liquid. Hence, it works as an equipment for velocity type fluid.
Air Ejectors are used to extend the operating range of Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps, boosting performance. The inlet pressure of a Liquid Ring Pump is limited to approximately 30 mbar abs because of the vapour pressure of its seal liquid (usually water).
The extractor mechanism removes a cartridge from the chamber, while the ejector throws the cartridge away once it is extracted.
Steam ejectors : The device is used to create, mostly vacuum or to suck liquids or gases. Most common drive/motive force on the ejector is steam. Nozzle B is connected to the gas to be compressed/pumped or liquid to be pumped or the system to be evacuated.
The removal of air and other noncondensable gases from the condenser shell side is required for proper heat transfer from steam to cooling water in the condenser and, thus, to maintain high vacuum in the condenser.
3.2.
The vacuum is used to allow vapor particles to deposit directly on to the substrate, where vapor particles condense back to a solid state, forming a functional coating. The vacuum evaporation process involves two basic stages: the evaporation of a functional material and the condensation on the substrate.
A potential vacuum is created when a boiler is shut down. As the unit cools, the steam condenses and water level drops, which allows the pressure to drop. If the steam drum vent is not open when the unit is cooling, a vacuum condition can result.
To attain a state of vacuum, a space must be empty, i.e. devoid of all gaseous material. The consequence of this is that the pressure in this space is very low, as it contains no or only a small number of particles, which exert a force on an area as a result of their impact against the walls.
Essentially, the system is comprised of four main components: the main vacuum unit, pipes and inlets, a vacuum hose, and cleaning tools. The vacuum hose and cleaning tools are what you – the consumer – will most directly interact with. They`re pretty familiar and work just as they would on any vacuum cleaner.
A: Yes, in an initially perfect vacuum an object would lose heat. Even if none of the atoms came loose from the object, electromagnetic radiation would be emitted.
Same thing with air and water steam: they are about as different as it gets. Evaporated water doesn`t become air it becomes a gas, water vapour. Your confusion is between the terms gas and air: air is a specific mixture of gases; water vapour is just water in gas rather than liquid form.
0K (zero degrees Kelvin) or -273.15 degrees Centigrade.
But radiation — heat transfer via electromagnetic waves — can occur across a vacuum, as in the sun warming the Earth.
Ice in a vacuum (such as space) willsublimate, not evaporate. Sublimation is the transition directly from the solid phase to the gaseous phase. … In the vacuum of space, gaseous vapor can easily escape the solid with no need for melting to liquid, first.
In vacuum atmospheric pressure is zero; According to Le-chatlier`s principle on decreasing pressure, volume increases so more water converts into gas (vapour). So rate of evaporation increases.
The short answer is that yes, water can exist as a solid in a vacuum. Look at icy comets that exist in the vacuum of deep space. However, to get water to that point means some pretty extreme and violent phase changes from room temperature and 1 atm.

No steam My SV1000 steam cleaner will not make steam. It heats up, but I think the small portholes where the steam comes out are clogged up. Are parts available to change the steam line?
ANSWER : I used the straw to prime the lines and 50/50 mix of vinager and water and it worked perfectly. I then mixed the water container with the same mix and ran it through the system. All works fine now.

The steam is to comeing out of the nozzle but underneath the machine
ANSWER : You will need to check to see if there is a break in the steam track so a physical examination of the leak with an investigation into the steam track will needed.

Elna Top 300 sewing machine. I need manual to operate this machine. I have already found out that Elna contracted with Tiwan(excuse my spelling) to make there machine between 1989-1991. I want to know which machine made in Switzerland is comperable to this one. Thanks…Audrey
Sorry about the catagory…but you do not have sewing machine on list.

.I have this machine. I use it for my heavy sewing, as it will go through anything. I would be happy to copy the manual and send it to you for copy costs. Just let me know. I would love to know what knowledge you have gained about this machine. It does not appear to be an easy machine to find info on, may not have produced a lot? I had no idea it was not a European produced machine.

While using my mop yesterday, it stopped letting steam come out. Tonight I plugged it up again and you could hear it trying to steam. I push the button in to release the square frame and it pushed out a burst of steam and pushed the head off. Put it back together and it still will not let steam out. No matter how much water is in it.

We have the water hooked up at the back of machine. there is a spout for the water to come in and fill the ice tray.but is does not. If we turn the water on it fills up the space under the ice basket. I keep getting red light and then the two smal llight one ice and one water come on. We can hear the motor trying to fill the ice try and then lights come on. Please help me this so I can use this product. It did not come with a manual.
ANSWER : The water inlet valve on the back of unit opens when the ice maker needs water. If the valve doesn’t seal good because of sediment or wear it will continue to drip and when the water reaches the ice maker supply tube it will freeze blocking the fill tube.. You can take the water line off the valve and watch to see if it drips.
With the fill tube blocked with ice the water can drip down the back wall or drip into the ice bin or just stop up. You can use a hairdryer to thaw the tube out.
