Summary
The Electric Diaphragm Pump is a new type of pumps.
In recent years break-through progress has been made in the diaphragm
material, so more and more industrialized countries in the world have
adopted such a pump type to replace some centrifugal or screw pumps to
be appiied in such industries as petrochemicals, ceramics and
metallurgy. Our diaphragm pumps include QBY pneumatic and DBY electric
types, and all of our product designs are based on reference of the
prototypes of American-based ABEL and have been appraised by the
Ministry of Coal Industry. DBY diaphragm pumps are applicable for low
pressure applications. namely the outlet pressure ≥ 3kgf/cm², whiie QBY
applicabie for applications with the outlet pressure ≥ 5kgf/cm². This
manual is for DBY disphragm pumps.
Perormanceand Characteristics
DBY series of electric diaphragm pumps has the following characteristics:
l.There is no need for water filling or diversion. and its self-priming capacity is above 7m.
Il. Its trafficability is good, and those grains, slurry or others with a diameter less than 10mm can all be passed easily.
lll.The
diaphragm will be separated by the working medium and the transmission
machinery. so the medium can by no means leak outwards. Besides, the
pump itself has no shaft seal, so its service life is extended greatly.
According to different medium types, the diaphraqm can be divided into
neoprene, fluorine rubber, chemigum and so on, which can meet
requirements of different users completely.
IV.Compact and
light: with a planetary cycloid transmission structure, the pump can be
small-size, and compared with similar pump types, both of its volume and
weight are half or so.
V.The medium flow-through part on the
pump body can adopt cast iron, stainless steel, rubber lining or
fluorine lining, as required by users, and the motor includes three
types: common, explosion-proof and speed requlation. At present the
pumps is being used in the following applications.
Main Applications
1.Different kinds of virulent, inflammable or volatile liquids.
2.Different kinds of strong acid, alkali and strong-corrosion liquids.
3.Transporting high-temperature media:150℃.
4.Recovery and circulation of hot water.
5.Loading and unloading of oil tankers, oil depots and oil products.
6.Pumping of pickle, jam, mashed potato, chocolate, etc.
7.Pumping of oil paint, wood gum and pigment adhesive.
8.Different kinds of porcelain glaze, cement grout, mortar and slurry.
9.Different kinds of latex, organic solvents and packing.
10.Pumping of sewage and remaining oil from cabins of oil tankers or barges for cabin emptying.
11.Hops, yeast slurry, syrup and molasses.
12.Pumping of sewage and sediment from shafts, adits, tunnels and sewer culverts.
13.Suction and transportation of different kinds of special media.
Working Principle Diagram
The
motor (3) drives the diaphragm (2) on the plungers on left and right
ends through the reducer (4) to make reciprocating motions from left to
right. Inside the left and right pump cavities, there are four upper and
lower non-return ball vaives (1) making motions to change volumes of
the working cavities and drive the four non-return ball valves to open
and close alternately, thus sucking (5) and discharging (6) the liguid
continually.

Select the Diaphragm COrrectly
The diaphragm is a major
part of this diaphragm pump and correct selection of the diaphraam can
get twice the result with half the effort. The users shall note nature
of their working medium in their orders so as to provide appropriate
diaphragms. Generally the diaphragms include the following types:
I. Butyronitrile diaphragm, mainly for oil-proof applications.
II.Neoprene 5031#, specially made by our company, mainly for resistance to acetone and different kinds of acid and alkaline
Ill.
Fluorine rubber 6021#, specially made by our company, mainly for high
temperature 150℃ and resistance to methylbenzene and corrosion, but more
expensive than other diaphragm types.
IV. Food rubber exclusively for transportation of food and beverage.
