A vacuum level down to 100 mbar abs. and improved efficiency of up to 10%: with its new Nash 2BE5 series, Gardner Denver Nash is extending its competence in the market for liquid ring pumps with high gas flow rates.

Drinking water is a valuable elixir, which remains limited in some regions of the world, or even unavailable. Both man and industry suffer from lack of water. Desalination of seawater offers a way out, but the technology has very high requirements. Plant manufacturers are therefore thirsting for robust and energy efficient pumps.

Wher­ev­er in­dus­trial pipes, pipe as­sem­blies, valves or hous­ings must be ab­so­lute­ly tight the leak in­tegri­ty is test­ed with test pumps. The re­quired test pres­sure can be cre­at­ed with them right on site, de­pend­ing on the mod­el. The drive can be de­signed as man­u­al, elec­tri­cal or petrol-pow­ered drive. Re­spec­tive con­trols and valves there­by per­mit the re­pro­du­ci­ble “trac­ing” of test pres­sure curves and al­so the gen­er­a­tion of test pro­to­cols.
