  • Page 4: Reception And Storage

    1/ INTRODUCTION 1.1 - GENERAL The air operated diaphragm pump series AD is manufactured by ALBIN PUMP and is marketed and sold by a net of authorised distributors. This instruction manual contains important information on the AD range and must be read carefully before installation, service and maintenance.
  • Page 5 Liquids not suitable for the pump can cause damages to the pump unit and imply risk of serious personal injury. Always consult your ALBIN PUMP distributor if you are not sure of the compatibility of fluids with the pump materials including the elastomers.
  • Page 6 since 1928 IMPORTANT ! The pump must not be used for other purposes than recommended and quoted for without consult- ing your AlLBIN PUMP distributor. Never use, under no circumstances, the pumps for pumping non-conductive flammable or explosive fluids. The AD pumps do not exceed a noise level rating of 80 dB(A) but still it is advised always to wear ear protection when you are working or standing close to an operating AODD pump.

  • Page 7: Operating Principle

    since 1928 1.4 - OPERATING PRINCIPLE The AODD pump is an air-powered, reciprocating positive displacement pump with two pumping chambers. Two diaphragms, centrally located in the chambers, separate the compressed air (‘‘dry side’’) from the liquid being pumped (‘‘wet side’’). A shaft connects the two diaphragms to each other. A valve (air motor) distributes the air from one chamber to the other alternately, thus a reciprocating move- ment of the diaphragms is created.

  • Page 20 since 1928 The AD pump should be attached to the plant piping using a flexible hose/coupling on both the intake and discharge ports of the pump. The pump must not be used to support the pipelines. All pipe work to and from the pump must be independently supported otherwise there is a risk of distortion of the pump components.

  • Page 21: Suggested Pump Installation

    since 1928 4.2 - SUGGESTED PUMP INSTALLATION Normal Flooded * Submerged 4.3 - VENTING EXHAUST AIR The air exhaust should be piped to an isolated container for safe disposal of the product being pumped, in the event of a diaphragm failure. This also reduces the pump noise. As shown in the illustration a larger muffler can be fitted to further reduce noise.

  • Page 22: Routine Maintenance

    since 1928 4.5 - HOW TO START, OPERATE AND STOP THE PUMP Open the fluid discharge and suction valves. Gradually increase the air pressure with the pres- sure regulator until the pump starts to cycle and the suction and discharge lines are filled. Now, by adjusting the regulator, the stroking speed can be controlled, until the required flow is obtained.
  • Page 23 since 1928 5 / Directions for disassembly and reassembly Warning ! Before any maintenance or repair is attempted, shut off the compressed air line and dis- connect it from the pump. Allow all air pressure to bleed from pump. Close the suction and discharge shut-off valves before disconnecting the pump.
  • Page 24 since 1928 5.1.2 - CHECK VALVES, SPRING AND SHAFT BUSHING 1) Remove the shaft (1) and unscrew the 2 hexagon screws (3) holding the check valve retainers (4) and the shaft bushing (5). 2) Remove the retainers. If they are jammed use the shaft bushing (5) to push out on retainer. Turn the pump housing and push the second retainer out.

  • Page 25: Air Motor

    since 1928 5.1.4 - AIR MOTOR 1) Unscrew the 4 hexagon screws (1) and remove the airmotor (2). 2) Remove the two airmotor gaskets (3). 3) Remove the CEG lockring (4) and remove the inlet insert (5). 4) Remove the CEG lockring (7) and remove the muffler (8). 5.2 - REASSEMBLY 5.2.1 - AIR MOTOR AND MANIFOLDS 1) Fit the muffler (8) and the CEG lockring outlet (7).

Fit the plunge (7) and the ball seat (6). 2) Fit the mechanism to the seat in the cover. Check that the mechanism is tight by introducing com- pressed air in the outer hole (9).
  • Page 27 since 1928 5.2.4 - DIAPHRAGMS 1) Put the diaphragms (6) in the lids (5). The diaphragms are guided by the stud bolts so there is no risk they come off place. 2) Tighten the cap nuts (4) with 22 Nm. 5.2.5 - AIR MOTOR 1) Fit the complete air motor (2) with air motor gaskets (3) on top of the pump housing.
