Air-Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) pumps are powered
by compressed air or nitrogen .
The main directional (air) control valve
① distributes
compressed air to an air chamber, exerting uniform pressure
over the inner surface of the diaphragm
②
. At the same time,
the exhausting air
③
from behind the opposite diaphragm
is directed through the air valve assembly(s) to an exhaust
port
④
.
As inner chamber pressure
(P1)
exceeds liquid chamber
pressure
(P2)
, the rod
⑤
connected diaphragms shift
together creating discharge on one side and suction on the
opposite side . The discharged and primed liquid’s directions
are controlled by the check valves (ball or flap)
⑥
orientation .
The pump primes as a result of the suction stroke . The
suction stroke lowers the chamber pressure
(P3)
increasing
the chamber volume . This results in a pressure differential
necessary for atmospheric pressure
(P4)
to push the fluid
through the suction piping and across the suction side check
valve and into the outer fluid chamber
⑦
.
Suction (side) stroking also initiates the reciprocating
(shifting, stroking or cycling) action of the pump . The suction
diaphragm’s movement is mechanically pulled through its
stroke . The diaphragm’s inner plate makes contact with an
actuator plunger aligned to shift the pilot signaling valve .
Once actuated, the pilot valve sends a pressure signal to the
opposite end of the main directional air valve, redirecting the
compressed air to the opposite inner chamber .

SUBMERGED ILLUSTRATION
Pump can be submerged if the pump materials of construction
are compatible with the liquid being pumped . The air exhaust
must be piped above the liquid level . When the pumped product
source is at a higher level than the pump (flooded suction
condition), pipe the exhaust higher than the product source to
prevent siphoning spills .
