FIELD: gas industry.
SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to liquid-ring compressors, which can be used to remove fluid from wet gas and/or wet gas compression. In one version, a liquid ring compressor includes a shaft, a main body inner casing disposed about shaft to form a chamber between shaft and main body inner casing, an inlet configured to remove a portion of liquid from a wet gas and to direct wet gas into chamber. Liquid ring compressor also includes an impeller rotatably disposed within chamber and configured to direct a remaining portion of liquid in wet gas out towards main body inner casing to form a liquid ring within chamber to compress wet gas.
EFFECT: group of inventions is aimed at providing possibility of compression of wet gases which contain significant volume fraction of liquid.
