For Plastic & A.O.D.D. PUMP systems
PipeGuard/PLAS & Air Operated Double ended Diaphragm pumps |
|
PROBLEM:
An A.O.D.D. could not suck water treatment chemicals from the 10ft high (3 meters) plastic drum stillage because it was 70ft (30 meters) away.
TECH. Notes: It is not necessary to read the areas shaded in this color. The good thing about an A.O.D.D. is that it jumps straight up to a constant flow rate after each stroke reversal, giving you a pretty smooth discharge flow (if the air line is large enough). The down side is: that it is difficult to fill instantaneously on the suction side.

If you do not need in-place flush-through, and wish to provide "T" pieces, use the extra connection for relief valve, system drain, or a gauge.

ANSWER: PIPEGUARD a Below was fitted to the pump inlet. Loss of suction power was avoided by eliminating flow reversal within - out twice connection continuous flow configuration, standard choice of damper type PiG-Plas/TW
RESULTS:
The A.O.D.D.
1. Can now fill - and pump.
2. Pumps at twice the rate through possible.
3. Pipe shake and breakage has ceased.
A PIPEGUARD PLAS from PVC was installed item b on the pump outlet, and the chemicals can now be pushed also to a mixing tank 320 ft (say 100 Meters) away.
Many different chemicals are handled buy the one system because the inlet - outlet twin hole through flow, enables flushing.
