4. Suction Lift vs Flooded Suction Applications Suction Lift Installation Mount the MicroTron™ pump on the top of a molded tank, not to exceed 5 feet from pump to bottom of tank. Flooded Suction This installation is recommended for very low outputs, solutions that gasify and/or high viscosity solutions.
8. Optional Three Function Valve The optional 3-function valve injection assembly provides three functions in one injection valve assembly. Anti-siphon feature allows metering of liquids “down hill” or into the suction side of a circulating pump. It provides protection against an accidental application of suction pressure at the fluid injection point. Its Teflon coated diaphragm provides a positive anti-siphon action.
50spm x .000167gps x 1440 (minutes per day) = 12.02 gallons per day Reducing the stroke length will reduce the pump’s output again. If the example pump above had it’s stroke length reduced to 50% the 12.02 gallons per day output is reduced to 6.01. (Example: 12.02 gpd x 0.50 = 6.01 gpd) A higher product viscosity will reduce the output.
Diaphragm Replacement 1. Remove fluid end cover by lightly prying it loose from the fluid end. 2. Remove the four screws attaching the fluid end to pump body. 3. Remove the fluid end from the pump body. 4. Unscrew the diaphragm from the pump shaft in a counter-clockwise direction. Be careful that diaphragm support ring does not fall out.
