Can a pneumatic diaphragm pump be used to pressurize pipelines?
Thread Content
The emulsion produced by our factory needs to be filtered, and I would like to design a filtering system for it. Many manufacturers of filtration systems on the market use a filtration method that combines centrifugal pumps with filter cartridges. Since the amount of filtration required by us is very small, and it’s not convenient to run cables in the installation site, I would like to use a filtration method that involves pneumatic diaphragm pumps together with filter cartridges. However, I’m concerned that the diaphragm pumps may not be able to generate sufficient pressure, resulting in unstable flow and thus an inability to carry out effective filtration. Therefore, I would like to ask experienced experts: can pneumatic diaphragm pumps indeed replace centrifugal pumps for pressure filtration? Thank you
I have used pneumatic diaphragm pumps to pump substances into tanks at atmospheric pressure; once the outlet pipeline reached a height of over 6 meters, the pump would start struggling and fail to pump effectively.
I can’t climb anymore after 6 meters; maybe the pump is too small. I want to use it for pressure filtration in pipelines; it’s quite rare, so I’m a bit hesitant.
A pneumatic diaphragm pump is powered by compressed air, and its \"head\" depends on the pressure of the air supply; if it cannot achieve a lift of 6 meters, could it be due to an excessively high density of the fluid or insufficient air supply pressure?
We use a pneumatic pump to apply pressure, and a precision filter to remove the activated carbon.
Is the application working well? Could there be a situation where the pressing head is not sufficient?
What pressure head do you need? We can achieve 6 kilograms
The information you provided is incomplete. What is your request? If the conditions aren’t clear, how can others help you? I think for ordinary filtration, a diaphragm pump will work fine! The gas source pressure of 6 kilograms is sufficient
This is related to the size of the pneumatic diaphragm pump you choose, as well as the inlet pressure of the compressed air. I have experience with filtration in VAE emulsions and VAC latexes; you can send me an email at hys@shjiyo.com
