Lubricant emulsification issue in diaphragm pump drive chamber?
Thread Content
I’m seeking help from experts regarding the analysis of lubricant emulsification in the drive chamber of a diaphragm pump (Riva brand).
First, check where water can get in, and then figure out how to address the emulsification.
If the lubricant has emulsified, water must have gotten in; check where there is a leak.

1. The diaphragm is damaged; the medium has gotten into the lubricating oil in the drive chamber. It is recommended to disassemble and replace the diaphragm, clean out the lubricating oil chamber, and refill it with new lubricating oil.
2. The seal in the drive chamber is faulty; water or other substances have entered the lubricating oil, causing it to emulsify. It is advised to identify and rectify the source of the poor sealing, clean the lubricating oil chamber, and replace the lubricating oil with new oil

How does the lubricating oil in the drive chamber emulsify? I know that hydraulic oil can cause the medium to mix with the hydraulic oil due to a ruptured diaphragm.
The key issue is that oil emulsification occurs in the drive chamber here!
