Diaphragm Pump And Its Working Principle

DIAPHRAGM PUMP AND ITS WORKING PRINCIPLE

Diaphragm Pump

DIAPHRAGM PUMP

A diaphragm pump is a positive displacement pump that uses a combination of reciprocating action and either a flapper valve or a ball valve to transfer liquids.

This pump is sometimes referred to as a membrane pump. Diaphragm pumps are air rotary vane pumps and are ideal for viscous liquids.

It is so versatile, they are used in virtually every industry that requires fluid transfer. They are often used for dewatering or water removal across many different industries.

HOW DO DIAPHRAGM PUMP WORK?

A diaphragm is a positive displacement pump which utilises two flexible diaphragms that reciprocate back and forth, creating a temporary chamber, which both draws in and expels fluid through the pump.

Air-Operated Pumps

These pumps can be done by using compressed air Small Air-Operated Pumps

These pumps are used in low-volume liquid distribute accounts.

Small Air-Operated Pumps

It develop forces to 60 PSI & in some cases 100 PSI

TYPES OFÂ DIAPHRAGM PUMPS

APPLICATIONS OF A DIAPHRAGM PUMP FOOD & BEVERAGE: They are perfect for the Food & Beverage Industry.

SURFACE COATING: Diaphragm Pumps transport chemicals, used for Surface Coating, from storage tanks, containers and baths.

PULP & PAPER: Diaphragm Pumps can transport glue, adhesives and resin solutions, perfect for the Pulp & Paper Industry.

PETROCHEMICAL: Diaphragm Pumps can be used for offshore Oil drilling in order to carry oil to the surface and to lubricate the drill.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF DIAPHRAGM PUMPS

Self-priming Explosion proof Changeable flow rate and expulsion pressure Portable Easy installation They can operate in the long term
