Abstract

Systems for evacuating process fluids having condensable and incondensable components, especially those including corrosive constituents, include a condenser for condensing at least part of the condensable component and discharging the condensate from the system, a jet diffuser supplied with atmospheric air as a motivating fluid for diluting and increasing the pressure of the uncondensed portion of the process fluid, and a liquid ring suction pump for further increasing the pressure of the diluted uncondensed process fluid and discharging it from the system.
