Shanghai Chongfu is a specialized pump manufacturer. These pumps are smart because they transport liquids from one place to another. These pumps were known as Air-Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) pumps. So, today, we will explore more about AODD pumps and the key things you need to know about AODD pumps.
Have you ever inflated a balloon? When you blow air into the balloon it expands and expands. AODD pumps operate in a similar manner to inflating a balloon. They rely on air to advance fluids from one location to another. The pump has two sides that can squeeze together and then release, like your lungs do when you inhale and exhale. As you move these two sides of the pump, you give the liquid a push through the pump and out wherever you need it to go — the same way you can blow air out of a balloon.
Diaphragms: These are like rubber sheets within the pump. They press together in the center and force the surgeon fluid through the valves and pump body. When they open up, they let in more fluid.
Valves – The valves function like doors for the liquid. These allow the flow of liquid into the pump and out of the pump when they open and close. The pump may be reluctant to pump the liquid if the valves do not function properly.
For an AODD pump to operate efficiently, it must be properly installed. The air pressure, for starters, has to be just right. An improper air pressure, too7 high or too low, the pump will not work. Plus the valves must be seated correctly, able to open and close without issues.
Size: Another consideration is the size of the AODD pump. It needs to be big enough to stir the liquid without strain, but not so much that it wastes energy or air. Just as a small balloon won’t hold that much air, a small pump won’t be able to move a lot of liquid. Proper maintenance is also very important for an AODD pump to be successful. Combining these two functions means the valves, diaphragms, and connections can be subject to wear and tear, and need to be checked for signs of wear and tear. It’s sort of like ensuring your bicycle tires are always pumped so you can ride it in tow.
Next, set the pump to the correct air pressure as indicated on the pump. This is because the pump requires just the right amount of air to properly push the liquid. At last, once everything is ready, you can switch on the air and see the fluid rush out of the pump! It’s like opening a water tap when you turn it on, the water flows out.
