Different Types Of Laboratory Vacuum System

By Rich Carter


Laboratory vacuum system is crucial in medical operations as it has various uses. A central system has the capacity to serve very many outlets. Some of the uses of vacuity in medical facilities include patient beds, neo-natal services and surgical garments to mention just but a few. Selection of the type of equipment to be bought is determined by the needs of the user.

There are a number of factors that should be considered when buying vacuity equipment. Reliability is the main one that is influenced by certain factors. Some equipment is more reliable than others. The equipment that you settle on should operate with the least of problems.

The most reliable of these equipment are the ring pumps since they do not develop complications despite the kind of work they are used for. The water used in them will affect how reliable they are. Hard water will lead to the accumulation of lime in the machine which inhibits it effectiveness.

Where hard water is a real issue, oil can be used in place of water. The equipment will operate smoothly as long as the oil is changed on a regular basis. Rotary vane pumps are other options whose effectiveness depend on how often inlet filters are maintained.

When buying such an equipment you should think of the cost and plan accordingly. The cost does not vary much, except for the case of dry pumps that cost much more. The availability of funds and anticipated usage will determine the facility to be acquired.

Maintaining laboratory vacuum system is very important as it will ensure how well it serves you. Water sealed pumps have the lowest maintenance costs except in a case where hard water is used. Use of hard water means that the system will breakdown more often and it will require servicing every time. Other types of equipment have their own costs that should be thought of before making a purchase.
