Air driven liquid pumps

The air driven liquid pumps have different applications. They use air in pumping the liquids both thin and viscous. They mostly pump flammable liquids that might be dangerous to pump using electricity. For purposes of safety of the other equipment in use, the air pumps are used. The pumps offer high reliability in terms of tapping since they offer consistent flow of the liquid through the system. The air driven liquid pumps is one of the main critical components of the plant. Therefore, caution is necessary when choosing the right equipment for use and application. The choice of a wrong one, will led to the whole downtime and failure of the whole system.

The air driven pump must also be compatible to the system that will use the system in operation. The pump should further be compatible with the type of oil that will be undergoing the pumping process. The design of the pump should be in accordance to the fluid that is to be pumped in order to reduce any safety risks.

Design of the pumps and air driven liquid pump should follow certain considerations. One of the first considerations is the alkalinity of the chemical composition. The corrosive and acidic nature of the fluids degrade the pumps. The materials, therefore, must be corrosion resistant, and this is in order to avoid complications during use.

Other factors include the alkalinity temperatures of the operating fluid. Temperature resistivity is also a factor that will determine the nature of the material to use. Materials that are resistant need materials that are highly resistant while the other materials require less resistant materials. More so, viscosity is another factor that determines the material to use. Viscosity is directly proportional to temperature and, therefore, higher temperature will cause it less viscous.
