About the series

Features and benefits of the LRP VSD+ series

The series at a glance

The LRP 700–1000 VSD⁺ range has two variable drives for precise vacuum control and optimisation of the water circulation. Stainless steel components such as the impeller, end plates, liquid tank and heat exchanger provide high corrosion resistance and a long service life, even with aggressive process gases and contaminants.

The integrated Automatic Seizure Prevention protects the pump element against seizing after longer standstill periods. Thanks to the Elektronikon® controller and Atlas Copco ES central controllers, monitoring and remote control are possible.

Typical applications are food processing, plastics extrusion, rubber processing, pulp and paper, mining, drying, sterilisation and evaporation.

With the LRP VSD+ series, Atlas Copco offers a powerful range of liquid-sealed liquid ring vacuum pumps that was developed for reliable operation, high efficiency and demanding process conditions. The proven liquid ring principle allows the reliable conveying of moist, contaminated and condensable gases. Thanks to the integrated VSD+ drive, the pump speed adjusts automatically to the actual vacuum demand, which offers an energy-efficient solution for industrial vacuum applications.

Energy-efficient operation

The integrated VSD+ drive adjusts the pump speed automatically to the actual vacuum demand. This can reduce energy consumption, particularly when the load varies.

Robust and reliable

The proven liquid ring principle allows reliable operation even with moist or liquid-laden gas flows. The robust construction is designed for demanding industrial applications.

Versatile in use

The LRP VSD+ is particularly suitable for processes with moist, contaminated or condensable gases. It offers a reliable solution for numerous industrial vacuum applications, for example in food processing, packaging, the chemical industry and the general process industry.

Operating principle

The Atlas Copco LRP VSD+ series works on the principle of liquid-sealed liquid ring vacuum technology. An eccentrically arranged impeller rotates inside the pump housing and forms a liquid ring with the aid of an operating liquid. This creates the necessary working chambers, in which the gas drawn in is continuously taken in, compressed and then discharged. The operating liquid provides both the sealing and the cooling of the compression chamber. This makes the LRP VSD+ particularly suitable for applications in which moist, contaminated or liquid-laden gases have to be conveyed. The robust construction and the proven liquid ring principle allow reliable and low-maintenance operation. The integrated VSD+ drive adjusts the speed automatically to the actual vacuum demand and can thereby reduce energy consumption under changing operating conditions. The LRP VSD+ series is suitable for numerous industrial applications that call for reliable vacuum generation, efficient operation and the conveying of moist or contaminated gases.
