How It Works - Pump™
3
1. Air Chamber
The air chamber is the chamber that houses
the air which powers the diaphragms.
2. Air Distribution System
The air distribution system is the heart of
the pump. The air distribution system is the
mechanism that shifts the pump in order to
create suction and discharge strokes.
3. Lock Nut (Outer Diaphragm Piston)
The outer diaphragm pistons provide a
means to connect the diaphragms to the
reciprocating common shaft and to seal the
liquid side from the air side of the diaphragm.
4. Holding plate (Inner Diaphragm Piston)
The inner piston is located on the air side of
the pump and does not come into contact
with the process fluid.
5. Check Valve Ball
NOMAD air-operated pumps use suction and
discharge check valves to produce directional
flow of process fluid in the liquid chamber.
The check valve balls seal and release on the
check valve seats allowing for discharge and
suction of process fluid to occur.
6. Check Valve Seat
The removable seats provide the ball valves a
site to check.
7. Discharge Manifold
Process fluid exits the pump from the
discharge port located on the discharge
manifold at the top of the pump.
8. Liquid Chamber
The liquid chamber is filled with the process
fluid during the suction stroke and is emptied
during the discharge stroke. It is separated
from the compressed air by the diaphragms.
9. Diaphragm
The diaphragm membrane provides for
separation of the process fluid and the
compressed air power source. To perform
adequately, diaphragms should be of
sufficient thickness and of appropriate
material to prevent degradation or permeation
in specific process fluid applications. NOMAD
offers a variety of diaphragm materials for
your specific application requirements.
10. Inlet Manifold
Process fluid enters the pump from the intake
port located on the inlet manifold at the
bottom of the pump.
The NOMAD diaphragm pump is an air-operated, positive displacement, self-priming pump. These drawings show flow pattern through the pump
upon its initial stroke. It is assumed the pump has no fluid in it prior to its initial stroke.
