Dolphin Operating Principle:

The impeller rotates in the cylinder partially filled with water or another liquid medium. The rotation forces the liquid to the outside of the cylinder to form a liquid ring. The entering vapors are trapped within the vane slots between the rotor shaft and the liquid ring where they are compressed and discharged to atmosphere.
