Why Air Operated Double Diaphragm pumps?
Air operated diaphragm pumps are reciprocating pumps where the working elements are flexible diaphragms. The control is by means of compressed air being applied to the Air Valve incorporated into the pump, The Air Valves’ unique design guarantees a perfect, non-stalling operation, even at low pressure and does not need any lubrication.
Leak free air operated diaphragm pump
Air operated diaphragm pumps are leak free since they have no plungers or piston rods, which pass through the pressure boundary. Leakage can however occur if the diaphragm breaks. It is therefore necessary to replace the diaphragms in the course of preventive maintenance to avoid breakdowns.
Variable flow
By simply adjusting the air supply the double diaphragm pump provides variable flow and discharge pressures of up to 870 kPa. The compressed air can be used to balance liquid pressure and give high discharge capability. A single pump can provide a broad spectrum of pumping capabilities from a few litres up to 1,060 l/min.
Dry running capabilities
Air operated double diaphragm pumps are designed to run dry indefinitely without damage and are self priming from a dry start. The Air Operated Double Diaphragm pump can also run completely submerged or installed with flooded suction. No packing glands are needed and there are no close-fitting, sliding or rotating parts to maintain.
Capabilities
As flow and discharge of the air operated diaphragm pump is infinitely variable one pump can be used for an extremely wide range of capabilities. This elimates the need for costly motor drives and critical calculations.
