 Operating Principle

After connecting the compressed air, air valve control the compressed
air impels diaphragm 1 moves toward right, meanwhile, the diaphragm
1 also extrude medium and cause it out of chamber. Diaphragm not only
convey medium, also isolate compressed air and medium in the pump
chamber. When one diaphragm is pushed away from the center body,
another diaphragm will moves toward center body for these two dia-
phragm are connected by one rod. When diaphragm 2 moves toward
center body, the following high pressure compressed air will be dis-
charged out through the muffler, meanwhile, the pump inlet side will
creates a vacuum, then atmospheric pressure will push the medium into
suction pipeline. The pump entry valve ball will be raised and leaves the
valve seat, the medium will enter into pump chamber.

When the diaphragm 1 under high pressure, will slowly move to maxi-
mum position of stroke. Meanwhile, the compressed air will slowly enter
into diaphragm 2 following space and impels the diaphragm 2 away the
center body. The diaphragm 1 also will moves toward center body for
these two diaphragms are connected by one rod. The diaphragm 2 will
extrude the medium and function on entry valve ball and seal up the suc-
tion pipeline through the water power. The water power also will func-
tion on exit valve ball and open the discharge pipeline. Meanwhile, exit
valve ball of pump another side will shut down for pressure function, en-
try valve ball will open, then the medium will enter into the pump cham-
ber.

When one stroke finish. The compressed air will enter into diaphragm 1
following space again through reversing valve, simultaneously the dia-
phragm 2 following compressed air will discharge out through muffler.

 GENERAL GUIDELINE
INSTALLATION AND START-UP
Locate the pump as close to the product be-
ing pumped as possible. Keep the suction
line length and number of fittings to a mini-
mum. Don’t reduce the suction line diame-
ter.
For installations of rigid piping, short sec-
tions of flexible hose should be installed be-
tween the pump and piping. The flexible
hose reduces vibration and strain to the
pumping system.
AIR SUPPLY
Air supply pressure cannot exceed 125 psi
(8.6bar). Connect the pump air inlet to an air
supply of sufficient capacity and pressure
required for desired performance.
When the air supply line is solid piping, use a
short length of flexible hose between the
pump and the piping to reduce strain to the
piping. The weight of the air supply line, reg-
ulators and filters must be support by some
means other than the air inlet cap. Failure to
provide support for the piping may result in
damage to the pump. A pressure regulating
valve should be installed to insure air supply
pressure does not exceed recommended lim-
its.
AIR VALVE LUBRICATION
The air distribution valve and the pilot valve
are designed to operate without lubrication.
This is the preferred mode of operation.
There may be instances of personal prefer-
ence or poor quality air supplies when lubri-
cation of the compressed air supply is re-
quired. The pump air system will operate
with properly lubricated compressed air sup-
ply. Proper lubrication requires the use of an
air line lubricator set to deliver one drop of
SAE 10 non-detergent oil for every 20 SCFM
(9.4liters/sec) of air the pump consumes at
the point of operation. Consult the pump’s
published performance curve to determine
this.

AIR LINE MOISTURE
Water in the compressed air supply can create
problems such as icing or freezing of the ex-
haust air, causing the pump to cycle erratically
or stop operating. Water in the air supply can
be reduced by use a point-of-use air dryer to
supplement the user’s air drying equipment.
This device removes water from the com-
pressed air supply and alleviates the icing or
freezing problems.
AIR INLET AND PRIMING
To start the pump, open the air valve approxi-
mately 1/2” to 3/4” turn. After the pump
primes, the air valve can be opened to increase
air flow as desired. If opening the valve in-
creases cycling rate, but does not increase the
rate of flow, cavitation has occurred. The valve
should be closed slightly to obtain the most
efficient air flow to pump flow ratio.
BETWEEN USES
When the pump is used for materials that tend
to settle out or solidify when not in motion, the
pump should be flushed after each use to pre-
vent damage (product remaining in the pump
between uses could dry out or settle out. This
could cause problems with the diaphragms and
check valves at restart) in freezing tempera-
tures the pump must be completely drained
between uses in all cases.
STORAGE
If the equipment is to be stored prior to instal-
lation, place it in a clean location. The pump
should be stored in an ambient temperature of
15°C (59°F) to 25°C (77°F) and relative humidi-
ty below 65%. It should not be exposed to any
heat source e.g. radiator, sun as this could re-
sult in a negative way on the tightness of the
pump. Do not remove the protective covers
from the suction, discharge and air connec-
tions which have been fastened to keep pump
internals free of debris. Clean the pump thor-
oughly before installation.
