Exploring the Maximum Capacity of Air-Operated Double Diaphragm Pumps
Understanding Air-Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) Pumps
AODD pumps use compressed air to move fluids efficiently. They are versatile and reliable. These pumps handle everything from water to abrasive and viscous fluids. Their air distribution system ensures consistent performance.
- Self-priming capability allows easy startup and operation.
- Handles various fluid types, including corrosive and high-viscosity liquids.
- Can run dry without damage, increasing reliability.
What is the principle of AODD pump?
AODD pumps operate using two diaphragms that move back and forth, driven by compressed air.
This motion creates suction and discharge, allowing fluid transfer. Flexible diaphragms separate the fluid from the air side. Check valves control the flow direction, ensuring efficiency. The air valve system regulates the compressed air supply, optimizing performance and reducing air consumption in high-performance applications.
ARO’s EXP Series pumps feature advanced air valve systems that maximize efficiency in positive displacement applications.
How to Choose an AODD Pump?
Selecting the right AODD pump depends on the following factors:
- Flow rate requirements and discharge pressure conditions
- Material compatibility with the fluid being transferred
- Solid-handling ability and operating environment
