Operating and Installation Instructions E-Series E 08 - E 50 Air-Operated Diaphragm Pumps made of Plastic ought to be studied before installing the pump Jansen Pompentechniek T: +31(0)485-371318 E: info@pompentechniek.nl...
The appropriate use of an Almatec air-operated diaphragm pump of the E-Series refers to the liquid transport taking account of the operation parameter mentioned in this manual and in compliance of the given terms for commissioning, operation, assembly, disassembly and maintenance.
These technical data refer to ALMATEC E-Series pumps without optional equipment. Performance charts The data refer to water (20°C), under using of different variations (e.g. ball valve model, damper preparation etc.), a compressor Atlas Copco VSG30 and calibrated measuring equipment.
[23] in the center housing [4]. The connections of ALMATEC air-operated diaphragm pumps made of plastic have slightly tapered threads. Use threadseal only sparingly, otherwise the connections could be damaged.

Take care that no dirt or particles can intrude into the pump during the connection, as these can accumulate inside the pump and can cause malfunctions. An air filter [24] directly behind the air inlet [23] (not included in E 08 and E 10) prevents the entry of bulk particles. ®...
• Especially when deliver critical liquids, wear parts, like diaphragms, should be replaced within a preventive maintenance. • The use of non-original ALMATEC spare parts and structural changes lead to the lapse of the warranty immediately. When operating such a pump, damages of properties and/or persons cannot be excluded.
Besides, for the sizes E 08 and E 10 the shaft [20] additionally functions as the pilot piston for the air-valve. In these pumps E 08 and E 10, there are no shaft piston rings [22] and no set screws [21] nor an air filter [24].
® center housing [4]. To remove the PERSWING P air control system [26], screw off both end caps using the plastic mounting tool delivered with the pump (figure 11.2). Take out main and pilot piston. Push out the air valve housing with the mounting tool turned around (figure 11.3). fig.

C 9 and a stroke counter For assembly screw the adaptor elbow (or adaptor straight for pump sizes E 08 / E 10) into the additional air connection of the pump (it is possible that the adaptor is already installed). The position of the air inlet varies depending on the pump type and the pump size (see comments below).

Diaphragm monitoring (option code D 1, D 3) Although ALMATEC diaphragms with integrated metal core are designed for an optimum service life, the diaphragm remains a wear part. If it breaks, liquid can leak into the center housing and possibly emerge through the muffler. This can be prevented simply and effectively with the ALMATEC diaphragm monitoring.
Draining system (option code R 1, R 2, R 3, R 4, R 5, R 6) A pump equipped with the unique ALMATEC draining system can be emptied along with an inclining discharge line while being installed within the plant. The system is not appropriate to flush the pump with another liquid, nor from suction nozzle nor from discharge connection.
Diaphragm made of modified PTFE (option code P) For media with increased diffusion tendency (e.g. benzene, solvents) as well as for application with priming out of a vacuum PTFE/EPDM compound diaphragms made of modified PTFE are available. Spare part list Code P E 15 E 25 E 40...
Besides, a correct positioning of the O-ring [10] within the groove has to be ensured. An ALMATEC ET-damper can easily be attached to an E-Series pump at any time without changes of the piping, provided that the pump is configurated with product ports both horizontally. Make sure that the plug, center housing (Pos.

changing operating conditions. • Do not use any threadseal for the connection of pump and damper, otherwise the threads could be damaged. • Before putting the pulsation damper into operation as well as after some hours of operating, the housing bolts [6] have to be tightened according to the torque data of the following schedule, as the elements of construction tend to "settle".

Additional hints for pulsation damper series ET-F (flange version) Beside the screwed pulsation damper as standard flange versions (series ET-F) are available also. In general, pump and damper are dispatched completely mounted. Still, they can be packed in separate boxes, especially for the bigger sizes.
