Abstract A liquid ring compressor including a separate gas input opening disposed in the control disc of the compressor near the delivery space of the compressor impeller between the suction and the output openings of the control disc. The improvement of the invention comprises the gas input opening comprising a calibrated gas input opening, and the compressor including means for coupling the opening to the compression space of the liquid ring compressor for continuously feeding a pressure-increasing gas ballast to the delivery space of the compressor through the calibrated opening. The pressure increase of the gas pumped by the impeller ahead of the output openings of the control disc in the direction of rotation of the impeller is thereby reduced.
In a liquid ring compressor including a separate gas input opening disposed in a control disc of the compressor near a delivery space of the compressor impeller and between suction and output openings of the control disc, the improvement comprising said opening comprising a calibrated gas input opening, and said compressor including means for coupling said calibrated opening to a compression space of said compressor for continuously feeding a pressure-increasing gas ballast to the delivery space of the compressor through said calibrated opening from the compression space of the compressor for reducing the pressure increase of gas pumped by the impeller ahead of the output openings of the control disc in the direction of rotation of said impeller.
