Diaphragm Pumps
Patvin Engineering is your one-stop destination for high-quality diaphragm pumps. We are known to provide reliable and efficient pumping solutions to keep your operations running smoothly.
Diaphragm pumps don’t have rotating parts that come into direct contact with the fluid. They use a diaphragm to create suction and discharge fluids. These pumps offer several advantages such as Dry-Run Capability, high consistency, Viscous Liquid Handling, Compatibility, and Self-Priming.
Types of Diaphragm Pumps at Patvin Engineering
Air Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) Pumps:
AODD pumps are the most common type of diaphragm pump. They utilize compressed air to create a reciprocating motion on the diaphragms to draw liquid in and push it out. These pumps are known for their Durability, Versatility, and Cost-Effectiveness.
Quantum Electric Diaphragm Pumps:
Quantum electric diaphragm pumps can be a great alternative to AODD pumps. They use an electric motor to drive the diaphragm movement. These pumps are known for their Quiet Operation, Energy Efficiency, and Precise Flow Control.

FAQs
A diaphragm pump, made of rubber or a similar material, is a type of positive displacement pump that uses a flexible diaphragm to move fluids creating suction and discharge without mechanical seals. This makes it ideal for handling corrosive and viscous liquids to operate efficiently in various applications.
Diaphragm pumps are used to transfer fluids that are corrosive, abrasive and vicious. They are commonly used in applications such as chemical transfer, water treatment, and industrial processing for their versatility.
Selecting a diaphragm pump involves several key steps involving,
- Identify the Fluid
- Check the Temperature
- Understand the Viscosity
- Determine the Pump Volume
- Choose the Drive Type
- Material Compatibility
Diaphragm pumps find applications across various industries such as:
- Chemical processing
- Pharmaceuticals
- Water treatment
- Food and beverage
- Mining
The working principle of a diaphragm pump involves steps such as:
- Diaphragm Movement: this pump has a diaphragm that moves back and forth usually driven by mechanical, hydraulic, or pneumatic means.
- Suction Stroke: Vacuum created when the diaphragm moves away from the pump's chamber causes the inlet valve to open and allows fluid to enter the chamber.
- Discharge Stroke: The diaphragm compresses fluid as it moves back towards the chamber creating pressure that causes the inlet valve to close and the discharge valve to open, pushing the fluid out of the pump.
- Valves: The pump has inlet and discharge valves that control the flow of fluid ensuring the fluid moves in the correct direction, preventing backflow.
There are several types of double diaphragm pumps:
- Air operated double diaphragm pumps (AODD)
- Quantum electric double diaphragm pumps
The difference between air operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps and quantum electric double diaphragm pumps lies in their power source.
- AODD Pumps - AODD pumps are operated using compressed air, making them ideal for explosive environments but less energy-efficient.
- Quantum Electric Pump - Quantum electric double diaphragm pumps use electricity, providing better control and efficiency while eliminating the need for air supply systems.
