Comprehensive Product Portfolio

Our range of products can be individually applied or combined into packaged systems with additional components to serve a variety of process demands. From hermetically sealed pumps that eliminate leakage to engineered hybrid vacuum systems that optimize efficiency, we deliver smarter solutions custom-tailored to your specific requirements.

Liquid Ring Technology

Nash knows the technology behind liquid ring vacuum pumps because we invented the liquid ring principle of operation. Liquid ring vacuum pumps operate at low temperatures and are suitable for handling liquids, steam, and condensate. Developed for the toughest applications, these pumps can safely and reliably handle explosive gases and corrosive vapors.

Requiring minimal care and known for extremely low maintenance, NASH liquid ring vacuum pumps provide years of dependable service because of their robust design, rigorous quality, and simple design. Thanks to their low operating costs and extensive performance range, our vacuum pumps excel in any application.

Downloads For General Industrial

As the snorkels are inserted, the NASH steam ejectors create a vacuum of 0.5 mm HgA and draw the steel into the chamber. The lower partial pressure within the vacuum chamber removes both hydrogen and nitrogen gases from the liquid steel, which are both vented as the steel is continuously circulated. The evacuation time is usually five minutes or less.

Types of Steel Degassing 

There are three basic types of vacuum degassers: steam, recirculation, and ladle. The system choice is determined by many factors, including the primary objective of the degassing capital investment costs, operating costs, temperature losses, tonnage, throughput, space availability, and turnaround time.

All types of systems take place in a vacuum chamber, and the vacuum is created by multis-stage NASH steam jet ejectors, often in combination with a NASH liquid ring vacuum pump.

Steam jets work on a constant mass flow basis, while liquid ring vacuum pumps work on a constant volume basis.  Used together, an economic break-even point may be reached to take advantage of the best characteristics of each.  Our degassing system is designed to meet specific requirements and your Nash engineer can help you determine the optimal solution. The steel degassing process requires:

  • Rapid evacuation of the vacuum tank
  • Maintenance of vacuum while at the same time removing a heavy flow of inert gas
  • Immediate availability
  • Dust resistance
  • Safe operation under harsh conditions  

Designing the Vacuum Pumping System for Steel Degassing

In order to design your degassing system, you will need the following information:

  • The number of dissolved gases to be removed.  Absolute pressure, steel chemistry, and argon flow rate will all affect the rates at which the gases will be removed.
  • The load at system design pressure in dry air equivalent.
  • The load the system needs to meet at different pressures (if required by outgassing system).
  • The system volume.
  • The processing time required to go from atmosphere to deep vacuum.
  • The final absolute pressure of the system to help determine how many stages are needed.
  • The quantity of argon required to determine the agitation energy and the rate of dissolved gas removal.
  • The in-leakage rate of air into the system.
  • The steam pressure and temperature.
  • The cooling water temperature.
  • The cost of steam and electricity.
