Contar com uma bomba pneumática de diafragma é uma alternativa que garante inúmeros benefícios para a rentabilidade da sua indústria. Entretanto, para que essa bomba consiga entregar toda a sua produtividade, é de extrema importância saber qual o caudal necessário.
De forma simplificada, o caudal de uma bomba se refere a quantidade de fluido ou líquido que pode ser transportado a sua operação. saber esse valor vai ajudar a operar com mais produtividade, além de contribuir para identificação de alguns fatores:
- Verificar o funcionamento eficiente da sua bomba;
- Identificar se o equipamento é compatível com a sua aplicação;
- Carry out calculations for cost savings.
For this reason, it is very important to determine the flow rate and then implement improvements in your operation. Working with a higher flow ensures more agility to the process and helps your company meet deadlines and achieve superior production
How is the flow rate calculated?
Flow rate calculation can help identify the amount of fluid that has passed through the pump and the amount of gallons per minute that this equipment can pump over time.
Flow measurement can be done using different types of accessories and tools. If your pump does not yet have this equipment to measure its flow, it is still possible to calculate the flow efficiently.
Firstly, you need to know how many strokes your pneumatic diaphragm pump can make per minute. With this calculation you can calculate how many movements the pump performs in 10 seconds and then multiply the value obtained by 6. By consulting your equipment's data sheet, it is possible to determine a performance curve so that your pump can deliver the expected productivity.
However, it is necessary to take into account all the factors that can somehow impact the performance of your equipment, such as air pressure.
The flow rate of the pneumatic diaphragm pump can be controlled to achieve the highest efficiency for the type of operation being carried out. Standard 1:1 pumps can reach a pressure of up to 8.6 bar, delivering a flow rate of up to R$ 280 gallons per minute.
All this efficiency can be delivered without the need to adopt sophisticated or complex controls, making the pneumatic diaphragm pump one of the best equipment for the fluid pumping not industrial environment.
To ensure your pump is delivering all the efficiency it needs, it needs to be sized correctly. The size of the port used can make all the difference in your operation, and often, adapting the port size will help deliver a higher flow rate for your business. Depending on the fluid being pumped, larger ports can help increase the efficiency and longevity of your equipment.
