Air operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps are used in facilities of all sizes, and in a variety of different industries. From petrochemical to food and beverage, these pumps are popular and versatile. Their unique design is ideal for transferring highly abrasive or viscous products. But how do they work? An AODD pump uses compressed air…
DetailsAn AODD pump is a type of positive displacement pump that uses compressed air as a power source. The compressed air is shifted from one chamber to the other by a linked shaft that allows the chambers to move simultaneously. … These pumpsuse reciprocating elastomeric diaphragms and check valves topump fluid.
Cavitation is a phenomenon in which rapid changes of pressure in a liquid lead to the formation of small vapor-filled cavities, in places where the pressure is relatively low. When subjected to higher pressure, these cavities, called “bubbles” or “voids”, collapse and can generate an intense shock wave Cavitation is a significant cause of wear…
