What Types of Diaphragm Pumps Are Used in Catalysis?
There are several types of diaphragm pumps, each suited to specific catalytic applications:
1. Air-Operated Double Diaphragm Pumps (AODD): These are frequently used due to their versatility and ability to handle slurries, viscous, and shear-sensitive materials.
2. Hydraulic Diaphragm Pumps: Ideal for high-pressure applications, these pumps use hydraulic fluid to drive the diaphragm, providing greater accuracy and control.
3. Electromechanical Diaphragm Pumps: These pumps use a motor-driven mechanism to move the diaphragm and are known for their precision and reliability.
