How do I set up a SIHI liquid ring pump?
I have a sihi 2 stage pump and have no idea how to I'm supposed to cycle liquid through it. I looked at past posts and have a pretty good handle on cooling systems/methods but where do I connect my coolant lines to? There is a valve on what I believe is the inlet side(The shaft end) and theres a plug just below it but no port on the exhaust end. I'm considering a closed loop system but I have no experience with these whatsoever. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
