3、 EEMUA, is a European non-profit membership Association helpingcompanies that own or operate industrial facilities - the users of engineeringequipment and materials.EEMUA aims to improve the safety, environmental and operating performance ofindustrial facilities in the most cost-effective way, there

4、by demonstrating andpursuing leadership in asset management.EEMUA Members pursue these aims through collaboration for mutual benefit,sharing engineering experiences and expertise and by promoting their distinctinterests as the users of engineering products.Specifically, the aims of EEMUA Member comp

5、anies are achieved by:- providing the organisation within which networking, information sharing andcollaboration on non-competitive technical matters can take place;- influencing the way written regulations are interpreted and applied in practice;- presenting and promoting Members views, and encoura

6、ging the application ofgood, sound engineering practices;- developing user guides, specifications, training and competency schemes;-facilitating Members participation in national and international standards making;- influencing relevant national and European legislation and regulations.Formed in 194

7、9 as the Engineering Equipment Users Association, and re-namedin 1983 (as a result of taking over the materials association, OCMA), EEMUA hasfor more than fifty years given companies that own and operate process plants,power stations and other significant industrial facilities, a collaborative voice

8、 inaddressing technical and engineering related issues that impact on good integritymanagement and asset management practices. The Association is open tocompanies of all sizes that meet its engineering user criteria. Further details ofcurrent Members of EEMUA is available on the Associations website

37、inimum requirements for liquid ring vacuum pumpsand compressors for general service. These include basic design, materialsand auxiliary equipment.A liquid ring machine, whether vacuum pump or compressor, is a rotarypositive-displacement machine in which gas compression is achieved by theaction of a

38、radially bladed impeller mounted in an eccentric or ellipticalcasing which is partially filled with liquid. (See Figure 1).Note : A bullet (o) at the beginning of a paragraph indicates that adecision by the purchaser is required. These decisions should beindicated on the data sheet (see Appendix A);

39、 otherwise they shouldbe stated in the quotation request or in the order.1.2 Alternative Designs1.2.1 The vendor may offer alternative designs. Equivalent metricdimensions, fasteners and flanges may be substituted as mutually agreedupon by the purchaser and the vendor.1.2.2 When specified or agreed

40、by the purchaser national standards maybe substituted for the codes and standards referenced in this document.1.3 Conflicting RequirementsIn case of conflict between this standard and the enquiry, or order, theinformation included in the order shall govern.1.4 Definition of TermsTerms in this standa

41、rd are defined as follows:1.4.1 The Normal Operating Duty defines the conditions under which themachine is required to operate. This is the duty at which the vendorusually certifies that performance is within the tolerances specified.1.4.2 Normal Speed is the operating speed at which the NormalOpera

42、ting Duty is achieved.1.4.3 Maximum Continuous Speed (in revolutions per minute) is thespeed at least equal to 105 percent of the highest speed required by anyof the specified operating conditions.1.4.4 Maximum Allowable Speed (in revolutions per minute) is thehighest speed at which the manufacturer

43、s design will permit continuousoperation.1.4.5 Minimum Allowable Speed (in revolutions per minute) is thelowest speed at which the manufacturers design will permit continuousoperation.1.4.6 Maximum Allowable Temperature is the maximum continuoustemperature for which the manufacturer has designed the

44、 equipment (or anypart to which the term is referred) when handling the specified fluid atthe specified pressure.1.4.7 Minimum Allowable Temperature is the minimum temperature forwhich the manufacturer has designed the equipment (or any part to whichthe term is referred).1.14.8 Maximum Allowable Wor

45、king Pressure is the maximum continuouspressure for which the manufacturer has designed the equipment (or anypart to which the term is referred) when handling the specified fluid atthe specified temperature.1.14.9 Maximum Sealing Pressure is the highest pressure expected at theseals during any speci

46、fied static or operating condition, and duringstart-up and shut-down.1.4.10 Maximum Allowable Differential Pressure is the maximumdifferential pressure for which the manufacturer has designed theequipment for continuous operation.1.4.11 Maximum Allowable Vacuum is the maximum vacuum (minimum suction

47、pressure) for which the manufacturer has designed the equipment.1.4.12 The capacity of a liquid ring machine is the volume flow of gascompressed and delivered referred to the pressure and temperature at thecompressor inlet.1.4.13 The use of the word design in any term (such as design power,design pr

48、essure, design temperature or design speed) should be avoided inthe purchasers specifications. This terminology should be used only bythe equipment designer and the manufacturer.1.5 Referenced Publications1.5.1 The current editions of the standards, codes and specificationslisted in Appendix C shall

49、, to the extent specified herein, form a part ofthis standard. The applicability of changes in standards, codes andspecifications that occur after the inquiry shall be mutually agreed uponby the purchaser and the vendor.1.5.2 The purchaser and the vendor shall mutually determine themeasures that must be taken to comply with any national codes,regulations, ordinances, or rules that are applicable to the equipment.SECTION 2 - BASIC DESIGN2.1 General2.1.1 The equipment (including auxiliaries) covered by
