2. Liquid-ring pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-ring_pump

   Single-stage vacuum pumps typically produce vacuum to 35 torr (mm Hg) or 47 millibars (4.7 kPa), and two-stage pumps can produce vacuum to 25 torr, assuming air is being pumped and the ring-liquid is water at 15 °C (59 °F) or less. Dry air and 15 °C sealant-water temperature is the standard performance basis, which most manufacturers use for ...

3. Suction (medicine) - Wikipedia

   The portable suction unit of an ambulance A dental vacuum system for central suction. In medicine, devices are sometimes necessary to create suction. Suction may be used to clear the airway of blood, saliva, vomit, or other secretions so that a patient may breathe. Suctioning can prevent pulmonary aspiration, which can lead to lung infections.

4. Negative-pressure wound therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative-pressure_wound...

   Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT), also known as a vacuum assisted closure (VAC), is a therapeutic technique using a suction pump, tubing, and a dressing to remove excess exudate and promote healing in acute or chronic wounds and second- and third-degree burns. The therapy involves the controlled application of sub-atmospheric pressure to ...

5. Aspirator (medicine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspirator_(medicine)

   They can be used during surgical procedures but an operating theater is generally equipped with a central system of vacuum tubes. [1] Most aspirators are therefore portable, for use in ambulances and nursing homes, and can run on AC or battery power. They consist of a vacuum pump, a vacuum regulator and gauge, a collection canister, and ...

6. Rotary vane pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_vane_pump

   The contact between the vanes and the cavity wall divides up the cavity into "vane chambers" that do the pumping work. On the suction side of the pump, the vane chambers are increased in volume and are thus filled with fluid forced in by the inlet vacuum pressure, which is the pressure from the system being pumped, sometimes just the atmosphere.

7. Vacuum pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_pump

   In the field of oil regeneration and re-refining, vacuum pumps create a low vacuum for oil dehydration and a high vacuum for oil purification. [44] A vacuum may be used to power, or provide assistance to mechanical devices. In hybrid and diesel engine motor vehicles, a pump fitted on the engine (usually on the camshaft) is used to produce a vacuum.
