Chemical pump QBK series

airelectricself-priming

An air driven diaphragm pump moves fluid by the alternate and repeated back-and-forth movement (strokes) of two flexible membranes or diaphragms mounted on a common shaft (Figure 1). Although diaphragm pumps can be driven directly, with the shaft connected directly to a motor, an air driven double diaphragm pump pump uses compressed air with a sophisticated distribution system directing the air alternately to two air chambers on the opposite sides of the diaphragms. Application: • Corrosive chemical • Volatile solvents • Viscous,sticky fluids • Shear-sensitive foodstuffs and pharma product • Dirty water and abrasive slurry • Smaller solids • Creams,gels and oils Advantages: • Handel a wide variety of fluids with high solids content • Self priming • Ability to run dry • Explosion proof • Pumping efficiency remains constant • No mechanical seals, couplings, or motors • Can not overheat Limitation: • Low maximum speed • Not very energy efficient • Pulsed flow - requires dampener for reduction
