Operating Principle
After connecting the compressed air, air valve control the compressed
air impels diaphragm 1 moves toward right, meanwhile, the diaphragm
1 also extrude medium and cause it out of chamber. Diaphragm not only
convey medium, also isolate compressed air and medium in the pump
chamber. When one diaphragm is pushed away from the center body,
another diaphragm will moves toward center body for these two dia-
phragm are connected by one rod. When diaphragm 2 moves toward
center body, the following high pressure compressed air will be dis-
charged out through the muffler, meanwhile, the pump inlet side will
creates a vacuum, then atmospheric pressure will push the medium into
suction pipeline. The pump entry valve ball will be raised and leaves the
valve seat, the medium will enter into pump chamber.
When the diaphragm 1 under high pressure, will slowly move to maxi-
mum position of stroke. Meanwhile, the compressed air will slowly enter
into diaphragm 2 following space and impels the diaphragm 2 away the
center body. The diaphragm 1 also will moves toward center body for
these two diaphragms are connected by one rod. The diaphragm 2 will
extrude the medium and function on entry valve ball and seal up the suc-
tion pipeline through the water power. The water power also will func-
tion on exit valve ball and open the discharge pipeline. Meanwhile, exit
valve ball of pump another side will shut down for pressure function, en-
try valve ball will open, then the medium will enter into the pump cham-
ber.
When one stroke finish. The compressed air will enter into diaphragm 1
following space again through reversing valve, simultaneously the dia-
phragm 2 following compressed air will discharge out through muffler.

lubrication. This is the preferred mode of
operation. There may be instances of
personal preference or poor quality air
supplies when lubrication of the com-
pressed air supply is required. The pump
air system will operate with properly lubri-
cated compressed air supply. Proper lu-
brication requires the use of an air line
lubricator set to deliver one drop of SAE

at the point of operation. Consult the
pump’s published performance curve to
determine this.
