Understanding the Benefits of Air Operated Diaphragm Pumps in Industry
What Does AODD Mean?
"AODD" stands for "Air Operated Double Diaphragm." ARO's air operated diaphragm pumps are known for their reliability and versatility. These pumps are a type of positive displacement pump, capable of handling a wide range of fluids, including abrasive, viscous, and corrosive materials.
What Is the Principle of an Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pump?
An air operated double diaphragm pump (AODD pump) operates through the reciprocating action of flexible diaphragms and check valves. Compressed air enters the air chamber on one side of the diaphragm, causing a discharge stroke. This movement expels the fluid through the pump's outlet.
Simultaneously, the diaphragm on the opposite side creates suction, pulling liquid into the pump. A common shaft links the diaphragms, ensuring they move in sync. The air valve alternates air pressure to each side of the diaphragm, enabling continuous operation.
ARO’s pumps are engineered for reliable fluid transfer. Their design avoids complex parts, ensuring minimal maintenance. The robust air distribution system keeps air consumption efficient, and the pumps are safe to use in explosive or hazardous environments. Additionally, they are a cost effective solution for many industries requiring dependable performance. Learn more about How Air Operated Diaphragm Pump Work?
