SPRENGEL PUMP Meaning and Definition

1. A Sprengel pump is a specialized type of gas pump that operates based on the principle of boiling and condensing a specific fluid to generate a vacuum or low-pressure atmosphere within a closed system. It is typically used in scientific laboratories for tasks such as creating a high vacuum or evacuating air from an apparatus.

   The Sprengel pump consists of a glass column connected to a vapor source, usually a liquid, at the bottom. This liquid, often mercury or sulfuric acid, is heated to its boiling point which results in the production of vapor. As the vapor rises through the column, it compresses the remaining gas present in the system. The compressed mixture of vapor and gas continues to rise until it reaches the top of the column, where it then cools and condenses back into liquid form. This condensation process leads to a considerable decrease in pressure in the space above the liquid, creating a partial vacuum.

   The Sprengel pump operates continuously by altering the liquid level and temperature, which controls the rate of condensation. It is a highly efficient pump that can achieve very low pressures and can be employed in applications where other vacuum technologies may not be suitable. However, due to the use of hazardous and corrosive materials, proper safety precautions must be taken when operating a Sprengel pump.

Etymology of SPRENGEL PUMP

The term "Sprengel pump" is derived from the name of its inventor, Hermann Sprengel (1834-1906), a German chemist. He developed the Sprengel pump in the mid-19th century as a laboratory vacuum pump. The device revolutionized vacuum technology and played a crucial role in the advancement of scientific research. "Sprengel pump" is now a commonly used term to refer to this type of vacuum pump design.
