Positive-displacement pumps diaphragm

Positive displacement pumps diaphragm vacuum pumps, liquid ring vacuum pumps, rotary vane and rotary piston vacuum pumps as well as Roots vacuum pumps (dry compressing claw and screw pumps are not yet mentioned here but also belong to this group of pumps). 

Other positive displacement pumps, such as rotary, gear, and diaphragm pumps, normally require PR valve protection for both the pump and downstream equipment. PR valves for all positive displacement pumps should have a capacity at least equal to the pump capacity. 

Positive displacement pumps, such as reciprocating and diaphragm pumps. 

The core - flood apparatus is illustrated in Figure 1. The system consists of two positive displacement pumps with their respective metering controls which are connected through 1/8 inch stainless steel tubing to a cross joint and subsequently to the inlet end of a coreholder 35 cm. long and 4 cm. in diameter. Online filters of 7 im size were used to filter the polymer and brine solutions. A bypass line was used to inject a slug of surfactant solution. Two Validyne pressure transducers with appropriate capacity diaphragms are connected to the system. One of these measured differential pressure between the two pressure taps located about one centimeter from either end of the coreholder, and the other recorded the total pressure drop across the core and was directly connected to the inlet line. A two - channel linear strip chart recorder provided a continuous trace of the pressures. An automatic fraction collector was used to collect the effluent fluids. 

Diaphragm pumps are used for metering small amounts of additive into a fuel or fuel oil. The cost of these pumps is low compared to other positive displacement pumps. These pumps are excellent metering pumps and are primarily designed for low-pressure, low-flow applications. Also, they are not recommended for pumping high-viscosity fluids.

Unloader valves work like a spring-loaded bypass valve when the sprayer is operating. However, when the nozzles are shut down, they reduce strain on the pump by moving the overflow back into the tank at low pressure. These valves should be used on larger positive-displacement pumps (piston and diaphragm) to avoid damage to the pump or other system components when the nozzles are cut off. 

Positive displacement pumps. The minimal shear operation of progressing cavity or lobe pumps make them ideal for slurries. The non-pulsating flow is beneficial in most processes, but they are significantly more expensive and less portable than diaphragm pumps. 

Pumps are major components of all chromatography systems as they have to induce the driving force for the elution and separation process. In any case, process pumps should be able to maintain their set-point flow rate in a smooth manner. Positive-displacement pumps, such as diaphragm pumps, are often used in preparative and large-scale chromatography systems.

Positive displacement pumps can be grouped into three basic categories based on their design and operation reciprocating pumps, rotary pumps, and diaphragm pumps. 

Plunger or diaphragm pumps do not handle large flow rates in excess of 100 m /hr (4400 US gpm), but they are suitable for a wide range of applications at higher volumetric concentrations than centrifugal pumps. Positive displacement pumps can pump slurries with a weight concentration of 70%.
