To get the best performance from pneumatic pumps, they must be installed correctly. The 3 practical tips in this article will help you get maximum performance from your bomba.
Tip 1: Check the gauge and input airline pressure
The pump power air pressure plays a key role to get the most of it. Diaphragm pumps operate from 1 to 1. This means that the pump engine power air pressure is related to fluid pressure at the pump outlet. Example: If the objective pressure is 100 psi the compressed air pressure should be at least 100 psi.
The pump power pipe gauge is specified in the manufacturer's installation manual. As a general rule, it may be to maintain the same size as the pump gateway. In this case if the pump has a 1/2 ″ door to the hose gauge should be at least ½ ”
The most common error that users make when installing a pneumatic pump is to install a very restricted compressed airline. To solve this problem. Install the correct size of the power line and with a pressure regulator near the pump.
Tip # 2: Inspecting freezing and stuffy restrictions
The mufflers are recommended during the operation of diaphragm pumps as they reduce the noise that can be quite uncomfortable.
The pump air motor requires compressed air to run. However, when the compressed air enters the air valve and the channels through the pump for exhaustion of the stiffer at high speed, rapid temperature changes occur. In exhaustion of the silent, the air temperature is below zero C ° and can cause problems such as ice formation. This can reduce pump efficiency. Your air network has a high level of moisture.
One of the quick solutions to reduce ice formation is to lower the air pressure of the pump feed.
Here are additionally some suggestions to eliminate this problem:
- Increase the size of the pump to operate at lower speeds
- Remove exhaust air to a distant location with an exhaust tube
- Add an airline filter with a water and drain collector to collect condensation.
- Install an airline heater to increase the exhaust air temperature.
- Adjust the pressure dew point temperature with an air dryer.
Tip 3: Ensure proper piping and pipe size
Here is some information that the user should know about the pump pipe:
The input pump and output pump output diameters vary based on the flow rate required for operation.
The sizes of the input and output hoses should be the same as the size of the pump
Example: If a 1 inch pump has a half inch input hose, the pump will not be able to operate in full capacity without the risk of cavitation.
This risk increases as fluid viscosity is higher. In this example, the 1 inch pump should have a 1 inch input and output hose to avoid cavitation.
It is also recommended that a pneumatic pump be installed with a flexible input and output hose. Rigid pipes should be avoided. As the pump speed increases, vibration increases, which may increase the risk of loosening connections and as a consequence the leakage.
