What are Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pumps (AODD)?
Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pumps, or AODD pumps for short, are a type of positive displacement pump that uses compressed air to pump liquids. They are known for their reliability, versatility, and ability to handle a wide range of fluids, including abrasive, corrosive, and viscous substances.
How do Thermac AODD Pumps work?
AODD pumps consist of two diaphragms, a center body, and a manifold. Compressed air is supplied to the pump, which causes the diaphragms to flex. This action displaces the liquid being pumped, pushing it through the pump and out the discharge port.
Key Advantages of Thermac Pumps
- Dry Run Capability: Unlike many pumps, Thermac Pumps can operate even when dry. This remarkable feature eliminates the risk of damage, making it ideal for intermittent operations or situations where fluid supply may fluctuate.
- Self-Priming Mastery: The pump’s self-priming ability ensures efficient fluid transfer, even from low-level sources. This eliminates the need for priming operations, saving time and effort.
- Handling Solids with Ease: Thermac Pumps can effortlessly handle fluids containing suspended solids, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, from wastewater treatment to industrial processes.
- Gentle on Sensitive Fluids: The gentle pumping action of PCPs makes them ideal for handling abrasive, corrosive, and shear-sensitive fluids. The unique design minimizes product damage and ensures optimal performance.
- Air-Powered Efficiency: As an air-driven pump, the Thermac Pump eliminates the need for electricity, reducing operational costs and eliminating electrical hazards. This makes it a reliable and safe choice for various environments.
- Submersible Operation: The pump can be submerged completely without compromising performance or safety. This feature expands its application possibilities, especially in challenging environments.
- On-Demand Operation: The Thermac Pump operates on an on-demand basis, automatically starting and stopping as needed. This energy-efficient approach optimizes fluid transfer and reduces operational costs.
- Precise Flow and Pressure Control: A simple air pressure regulator allows for precise control of fluid flow and pressure, ensuring optimal performance for specific applications.
- Seal-Free Design: The absence of dynamic mechanical seals or packings eliminates leakage and maintenance requirements, resulting in increased reliability and reduced downtime.
Why Choose a Thermac Pump?
- Versatility: Thermac Pumps can handle a wide range of fluids, from clean water to viscous and abrasive substances.
