Before we delve into the diverse range of diaphragm pumps offered by Ovell® Pump, let's establish a foundational understanding of what is a diaphragm pump. At its core, a diaphragm pump is a type of positive displacement pump. This means it operates by trapping a fixed amount of fluid and then forcing that volume into discharge.
So, how does a diaphragm pump work? Unlike centrifugal pumps thatrely on spinning blades and impellers to generate flow, a diaphragm pump operates through a unique expansion and contraction cycle. This creates apulsating flow, which is characteristic of positive displacement pumps. Specifically, our diaphragm vacuum pump works by precisely expanding the pump diaphragm away fromthe fluid chamber, which creates a vacuum. This vacuum efficiently draws liquid into the pump. Subsequently, the diaphragm contracts, positively displacing thetrapped fluid and then discharging it out into the process line.
This simple yet remarkably effective principle allows diaphragm pumps to handle an exceptionally wide variety of fluids, including those that are viscous, abrasive, shear-sensitive, or even highly corrosive, with remarkable reliability and minimal leakage. Their ability to self-prime and run dry also sets them apart, making them robust choices for unpredictable or intermittent pumping tasks.
While Ovell® offers a diverse portfolio of pump products tailored for various specific applications, most of them share a set of fundamental design features that underscore their universal quality and performance. These common characteristics contribute significantly to the pumps' durability, efficiency, and ease of maintenance:
· Plastic Centre Block: Many Ovell® pumps incorporate a robust plastic centre block. This design choice provides excellent chemical compatibility, particularly with acidic or corrosive fluids, and offers superior resistance to impact and wear. It also contributes to the overall lighter weight of the pump, aiding portability and installation.
· All-Bolted Construction: The use of an all-bolted construction ensures maximum structural integrity and leak prevention. Unlike clamp-band designs, bolted constructions provide a more secure and uniform seal across the diaphragm and manifold interfaces, minimising the risk of spills and improving overall operational safety, especially when handling hazardous materials.
· Air Valve Structure of Unbalanced Slide Valve: The innovative air valve structure of an unbalanced slide valve is critical to the efficiency and reliability of air operated diaphragm pump models. This design allows for rapid and precise air distribution, ensuring consistent and smooth pump operation, reducing air consumption, and virtually eliminating stalling, even under varying air supply conditions.
· Strengthened PTFE Diaphragm: The implementation of a strengthened PTFE diaphragm is a testament to Ovell®'s commitment to durability and chemical resistance. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is renowned for its inertness to a vast range of chemicals and its ability to withstand extreme temperatures. The "strengthened" aspect further enhances its mechanical stability and longevity, making it ideal for aggressive fluids and demanding continuous operation.
Beyond these inherent design features, all Ovell® products undergo rigorous quality control processes.
