Steps in the Procedures and Techniques for Installing a Pneumatic Diaphragm Pump
In order to be able to install the pneumatic diaphragm pump most accurately, you need to follow the steps below so that the pneumatic pump can operate most effectively and safely during operation. This will also minimize unexpected events during the operation of the machine.
Understand the Working Principle of the Pneumatic Diaphragm Pump
In order to be able to install the pneumatic diaphragm pump according to technical standards, it is very important to understand the working principle of the machine.
Working principle of pneumatic diaphragm pump: The pneumatic diaphragm pump relies on the reciprocating mechanism of the diaphragm to suck and push the liquid, and uses compressed air as the main energy source.

After understanding the working principle of the product, customers can easily adjust and consider choosing the most suitable installation location.
Determine the Installation Location
Before installation, technicians usually survey the actual terrain to determine whether there is a compressed air source at the installation location.
Customers should also pay attention to the compressed air supply at the installation site. The quality of the compressed air supply is very important and will affect the operation of the machine. Therefore, in order to avoid the situation where the compressed air source is dirty and causes the air valve to be blocked, customers should consider installing an air filter for the air source.
The pneumatic diaphragm pump needs to be permanently installed in one location, so before installation, customers should pay attention to choosing a spacious and flat location. And it needs to be installed on a fixed and sturdy frame system, not suspended. So that once there is a problem with the pneumatic diaphragm pump, it is easy to repair and maintain.
Basic Operations When Installing Pneumatic Diaphragm Pumps
The pneumatic diaphragm pump is a product with a simple design, so most of the operations to install the product are very easy. When customers install a pneumatic diaphragm pump, they need to take the following steps:
1. The discharge head and suction head should not exceed the limit allowed by the machine, so as not to affect the flow rate and life of the machine components.
2. Supply compressed air to the pump.
3. Install a muffler to reduce the noise when the machine is running.
Some Precautions Before Installing the Pneumatic Diaphragm Pump
1. The suction head and discharge head should be installed according to the manufacturer's standards so as not to affect the flow rate or life of the pneumatic diaphragm pump.
2. To avoid the decrease of the self-priming ability of the pneumatic diaphragm pump, all pipes and connections should be completely sealed.
3. When installing, place the suction pipe diagonally to avoid directly sucking into the bottom, creating a vacuum and damaging the pump membrane.
4. Customers are encouraged to install a pressure regulating valve for the pump to filter water vapor in the compressed air and supply lubricating oil to the machine parts. In particular, when this pressure regulating valve is installed, the compressed air flow rate can be adjusted to within the safety level of the machine.
Precautions When Installing Pneumatic Diaphragm Pumps
The following issues should be noted when installing a pneumatic diaphragm pump:
1. Do not install a stop valve on the water inlet valve. If it must be installed, make sure to fully open the valve before starting the pump. When shutting down the pump, the air valve should be closed first, and then the water inlet valve.
2. Avoid installing a suction pipe that is too large or too small compared to the pump standard, as this will affect the flow rate and life of the pump parts.
3. Completely seal the pipe joints to ensure the maximum self-priming of the pump. The shorter the suction tube, the stronger the suction, conversely, the longer the suction head, the weaker the suction. The suction port should be tilted to avoid sucking directly into the bottom, which would create a vacuum that could damage the pump diaphragm.
Check the Machine Operation after Installation
This is the last step in the pump installation process. Customers need to pay attention to the following issues:
1. Check whether the joints of the pneumatic diaphragm pump are tight.
2. Test the diaphragm pump.
3. Run a trial run to see if there are any abnormalities. You can run a trial run with water to see if the pump is leaking.
The process and technology of installing a pneumatic diaphragm pump are very simple. However, correct and accurate installation operations must be ensured for the pneumatic diaphragm pump to operate effectively.
