Air Chambers
Compressed air flows into or out of the air chambers.The pump has a Right and Left Air Chamber.
Fluid Housings
The fluid being pumped will flow through the fluid housings. Each pump has a Right and LeftFluid Housing.
Diaphragms
Diaphragms separate the air chambers and fluid housings in the pump.The diaphragm is a materialthat will flex with increasing or decreasing air pressure. A common shaft connects the two diaphragms.
Inlet Manifold
Fluid flows from the fluid container through the inlet manifold either to the right or left fluid housing.
Outlet Manifold
Fluid flows out of the right or left fluid housing past the check valves, then through theoutlet manifold.
Air Valve
The air valve directs compressed air to either the right or left air chamber. The air valve consists ofa triggering mechanism, a valve cup, and a valve plate.The air valve directs compressed air through aport to one of the air chambers while the opposite air chamber is directed to the exhaust port.
Check Valves
A double diaphragm pump has four fluid check valves, two inlet check valves and two outlet checkvalves. The check valves control the fluid flow through the fluid housings and manifolds of the pump.Most double diaphragm pumps use ball type check valves. For a thorough explanation of check valveoperation refer to the Fluid Controls module.
Muffler
The muffler minimizes the noise of the exhaust air. Different mufflers provide different levels ofnoise reduction.
Wetted Parts
The wetted parts include all parts that come into contact with the pumped fluid. They include the inletmanifold, ball checks and seats, diaphragms, fluid housings, and outlet manifold.

Double Diaphragm Pump Operation
To help clarify the operation of the Double Diaphragm Pump we will divide the operation as follows.First we will describe the fluid flow. Then we will describe the air flow. Then we will describe the air
valve triggering mechanisms used in Graco Double Diaphragm pumps. We will refer to the pump
operation as the right or left. This is to aid in description only and bears no significance in a realapplication.
Part 1. Moving Fluid
Compressed air flows into the right air chamber, causing the right diaphragm to flex.This expansioncreates a high pressure in the right fluid housing equal to the air pressure applied to the pump. Theinlet check valve (4) of the right fluid housing closes, the outlet valve (2) opens, and the fluid ispumped through the outlet manifold. The pump shaft moves right creating a vacuum in the left fluidhousing. The left inlet check valve (3) opens, the left outlet valve (1) closes, and the fluid flows into the
left fluid housing. See Figure 2 for an illustration of the cycle.

At the end of the pump stroke the air valve switches and compressed air will flow into the left airchamber, causing the left diaphragm to flex. The inlet check valve (3) of the left fluid housing closes,the outlet valve (1) opens, and the fluid is pumped through the outlet manifold. The pump shaftmoves left creating a vacuum in the right fluid housing.The right outlet valve (2) closes, the right inletcheck valve (4) opens, and the fluid flows into the right fluid housing. See Figure 3.

Part 2. Air Flow Operation
To understand how the pump functions, you must understand how it is controlled or triggered. There
are two types of air valve triggering mechanisms used in Graco pumps: mechanically actuated and pilotoperated.
Air Flow With Mechanical Triggering
With the air valve in the left position, the left air chamber is connected to the exhaust port, compressedair will flow directly into the right air chamber.The diaphragm shaft moves to the right.

With the air valve in the right position, connecting the right side air chamber with the air exhaust,inlet air will flow directly into the left air chamber. As the diaphragm shaft moves to the left, it con-tacts the actuator link. As the shaft moves, force increases until the actuator overcomes the detentspring force. Then the detent link snaps over to the left and the cycle repeats itself.

Pilot Operated Triggering
In Figure 7 the diaphragm plates move to the right and the left side contacts the push pin and pushesit to the right.The push pin is attached to a cup that is similar to the valve cup previously covered.Thiscup is called the pilot block. When the pilot block is in the right position it connects the right pilot
port to the pilot exhaust port.
Figure 7 Pilot Valve Triggering Mechanism: Pilot Block Moves to the Right.
The exposed left pilot port allows the compressed air to flow through the channel to the left side of theactuator piston. Since the right side is open to exhaust the air pressure in the left chamber forces the
actuator piston to move to the right.

As the actuator piston moves to the right, the right air chamber is exposed to the exhaust port throughthe air valve cup. Now the compressed air will flow through the left air chamber port and pressurizethe left air chamber. The diaphragm assembly will move to the left. See Figure 8.

Since the left side is open to exhaust the air pressure in the right chamber forces the actuator piston tothe left. The air valve cup connects the left air chamber port to the exhaust port.
Figure 10 Pilot Valve Triggering Mechanism: Actuator Piston and Valve Cup Move to the Left.
Now the compressed air will flow through the right air chamber port and pressurize the right airchamber, causing the diaphragm to move to the right. See Figure 10.
In this type of triggering the large area of the diaphragm has only a small pilot block to move making
it easy to direct the air valve to move.The link between the diaphragm movement and the air valvemovement occurs pneumatically (air pressure).

Whole Pump Operation
We have up until now treated the fluid movement and the air operation separately, but these operationswork together. The following section discusses the two operations together. The following figures areof the pilot triggered mechanism.
Air flows through the air inlet of the pump to the right air chamber port and into the right air cham-ber. The diaphragm flexes pressurizing the fluid in the right fluid housing. As in Figure 11, the inletcheck valve of the right side manifold closes and the outlet check opens. The diaphragms, connectedby a shaft, flex together; when the right air chamber is pressurized,the left air chamber exhausts. Whenthe shaft pulls back it creates a vacuum in the left fluid housing. The outlet check valve closes and theinlet check opens allowing fluid to flow in through the inlet manifold and into the left fluid housing.
The movement of the diaphragm to the right triggers the air valve so the valve cup moves to connectthe right air chamber port with the exhaust port.

Air now exhausts from the right air chamber. The compressed air flows into the left air chamber andflexes the diaphragm.The air causes the left diaphragm to flex pressurizing the left fluid housing. Asin Figure 12, the inlet check in the left fluid housing closes and the outlet check opens causing fluid toflow through the outlet manifold of the pump.

Summary
Compressed air drives double diaphragm pumps. Compressed air, directed by the air valve, enters
either the right or left air chamber and exhausts from the opposite chamber. This causes thediaphragms to reciprocate back and forth causing fluid to be loaded and dispensed.

Pump Application
Graco sells a variety of double diaphragm pump models with different fluid delivery capability. Fluiddelivery can exceed 275 gpm (1040 lpm) with larger pump models. All double diaphragm pumps havea fluid to air ratio of 1:1. This means the fluid pressure of the pump will be approximately equal to theair inlet pressure. Maximum air inlet pressure can be 50 to 120 psi (3.4 to 8.3 bar) depending on pumpmodel. See product information.
Figure 13 Graco Double Diaphragm Pump Line.
The large fluid delivery capability of this pump makes it ideal for transfer applications. The lowpressure operating feature makes this pump ideal for low pressure supply including sprayingapplications. Common applications of this pump include bulk tank supply, waste fluid evacuation,
sludge evacuation, spraying or dispensing adhesives, conventional airspray supply pump for paintsand coatings, and for transferring acids and caustics.

Advantages
Pump Advantages:
High fluid delivery rates at low fluid application pressure; less than 120 psi (8.5 bar). This large
fluid delivery capability makes double diaphragm pumps ideal for transfer applications. Easy to install on a cover, pail, wall or submerged.
Many diaphragm options for fluid versatility with extended pump life.
Air power offers convenience for many installations, no electrical hazard, and stall against pressureefficiency.
Extremely portable.
Handles a wide variety of fluid viscosities, abrasive, and corrosive qualities.
Seal-less, leak proof design prevents fluid waste, mess, and hazard.
Can run dry without damage.
Air Valve Advantages:
The air valve is the principal feature that differentiates this pump from the competition.
Not dependent on the air being clean, dry, or containing oil.
Allows for easy on line maintenance of the pump. Decreased repair time and cost.
Uses fewer seals compared to other designs. Reduces the mechanical friction within the valve,eliminating the need for lubricated air.
Operates on very little air pressure, 15 psi (1 bar) or less.This allows the pump to cycle at low
flow rates. Creates a more gentle pumping action during high flow rates. Some applications require a more
gentle pump action such as more shear sensitive fluids like flexographic ink and water baseadhesives, which can froth or foam if agitated or sheared too aggressively.
The low operating pressure is useful when spraying materials at very low flow rates, such asapplying stains for shading or specking on wood furniture.
Works well when there is fluid inlet head pressure.

8/3/2019 Bomba Diafragma-doble Efecto
30/40
Limitations
Not for high pressure applications. The fluid to air ration relationship of all Double Diaphragm
Pumps is 1:1, meaning if 100 psi of compressed air is applied to pump, theoretically we will onlyachieve 100 psi of fluid output. Graco does not recommend operating the pump at air pressureshigher than the pump rating.
More surge than other pumps. An accumulator (surge suppresser) will reduce surging in applica-tions where surging is not acceptable.
Air consumption in a continuous duty operation may result in higher energy consumption thanother pump styles.
Cannot pump stringy, viscous fluids.
