ARO PD05P-ARS-PTT-B double diaphragm pump is a positive displacement pump that circulates fluid between two flexible diaphragms. It is commonly used for liquid transfer and dispensing applications. This air-operated pump can handle corrosive, viscous and abrasive liquids.
Working Mechanism:
- ARO double diaphragm pump uses compressed air to flex the diaphragms back and forth.
- When one diaphragm contracts, the other one expands.
- It creates a suction on one side and a discharge on the other, essentially pumping fluid through the pump.
Features:
- ARO PD05P-ARS-PTT-B double diaphragm pump is equipped with a PTFE diaphragm for excellent thermal stability and abrasion resistance.
- It is made of polypropylene for structural rigidity and resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces.
- This air-operated pump further features an unbalanced air valve design that ensures ice-free, stall-free operation.
- It also comes with a pneumatic motor for use in potentially explosive areas.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Are there any maintenance requirements for this ARO double diaphragm pump?
A.
- Regular inspection for wear and tear.
- Check and tighten all connections periodically.
- Lubricate the moving parts as and when required.
- Flush the pump with clean water or solvent to remove any residue.
Q. What are the differences between air-operated and electrically-operated double diaphragm pumps?
A. Air-operated double diaphragm pumps use compressed air or gas to operate. They are suitable where electricity is not readily available or where electrically driven pumps may pose a safety risk. Electrically-operated double diaphragm pumps (EODD) offer more precise control over flow rates and pressures, but they require access to electrical power.
Q. What safety precautions should I take when operating this ARO PD05P-ARS-PTT-B double diaphragm pump?
A.
- Provide proper ventilation in the pump area, especially when handling volatile or hazardous fluids.
- Following proper lockout / tagout procedures during maintenance and repair.
- Ground the pump properly to prevent static electricity buildup.
