OVELL booster diaphragm pumps are designed for industrial fluid transfer applications where standard pump discharge pressure may not be sufficient. By combining air operated diaphragm pump technology with pressure boosting capability, the system provides flexible pressure control while retaining the operating advantages of an AODD pump.
The booster diaphragm pump is particularly suitable for processes that require stable fluid transfer against higher system resistance, long pipelines, filtration equipment, elevated discharge points or downstream equipment requiring increased inlet pressure.
Unlike conventional electrically driven pressure boosting systems, an air operated booster diaphragm pump uses compressed air as its power source. Pump output can be controlled through the air supply, providing a practical solution for industrial applications requiring variable flow and discharge pressure.
A booster diaphragm pump uses compressed air to drive flexible diaphragms that alternately create suction and discharge cycles. Check valves control the direction of fluid flow while the booster system increases the available discharge pressure according to operating requirements.
The pressure boosting function helps the pump overcome resistance caused by pipelines, filters, valves and downstream processing equipment.
Because the pumped fluid is separated from the compressed-air drive system by the diaphragms, the pump can handle a broad range of industrial fluids while maintaining controlled fluid transfer.
The booster system allows discharge pressure to be adjusted according to process requirements. This is useful where fluid transfer conditions change between production stages or where downstream equipment requires stable inlet pressure.
The diaphragm pump design provides strong self-priming capability and can operate in applications where the pump is installed above the fluid level.
AODD pump technology allows temporary dry running without the mechanical-seal damage commonly associated with some conventional pump technologies.
Pump flow can be adjusted by regulating the compressed-air supply, allowing operators to match pump performance to changing production requirements.
The reciprocating diaphragm operating principle produces relatively low mechanical shear, making the booster diaphragm pump suitable for fluids that may be sensitive to excessive agitation.
The pump does not require an electric motor at the pump itself. The pneumatic drive system provides a relatively simple operating principle and supports straightforward maintenance.
OVELL booster diaphragm pumps can be used in a variety of industrial fluid transfer processes, including:
The correct pump configuration should be selected according to the fluid properties, required flow rate, suction conditions, operating pressure, temperature and chemical compatibility.
Pressure losses can increase significantly when fluids pass through long pipelines, filters, control valves, heat exchangers or other process equipment.
In these applications, a standard diaphragm pump may provide adequate flow but insufficient pressure at the final discharge point.
An OVELL booster diaphragm pump can provide additional discharge capability to help overcome system resistance and maintain more stable fluid transfer performance.
This makes the pump suitable for processes where reliable pressure delivery is more important than simply achieving maximum free-flow capacity.
Pump material selection is critical when handling chemicals and industrial process fluids.
Depending on the application, diaphragm, valve ball, valve seat and wetted component materials should be selected according to:
Selecting compatible wetted materials helps improve pump reliability and service life.
When selecting an air operated booster diaphragm pump, the following operating information should be considered:
OVELL can configure booster diaphragm pump solutions according to different fluid characteristics and operating requirements.
OVELL develops air operated diaphragm pump solutions for industrial fluid transfer and pressure boosting applications.
The booster diaphragm pump combines the flexibility of AODD pump technology with increased discharge pressure capability, providing a practical solution for demanding industrial fluid transfer systems.
For pump selection, provide the fluid name, required flow rate, discharge pressure, viscosity, temperature and operating conditions so that the appropriate booster diaphragm pump configuration can be recommended.
