At Hydratech, we pride ourselves on providing cutting-edge solutions as a trusted engineering company specializing in high-pressure system integration. As a distributor for Haskel pumps, we bring the reliability and innovation of Haskel’s air-driven liquid pumps to industries that demand efficiency and precision. In this blog, we’ll delve into the working principles of these remarkable pumps and explore their wide range of applications.
Understanding the Working Principle of the Haskel Air-Driven Liquid Pump
The Haskel air-driven liquid pump operates on a simple yet effective principle: utilizing compressed air as the driving force to pressurize liquids. Here’s how it works:
- Compressed Air Supply: The pump is powered by a compressed air supply, typically ranging from 1 to 10 bar (14.5 to 145 psi). This eliminates the need for an external power source like electricity, making it versatile and suitable for hazardous environments.
- Reciprocating Piston Mechanism: Inside the pump, a reciprocating piston assembly converts the energy of the compressed air into hydraulic pressure. This piston is part of a dual-chamber system, with one chamber for the air and the other for the liquid.
- Automatic Cycling: When the compressed air enters the air chamber, it pushes the piston, displacing the liquid in the liquid chamber. The pump automatically cycles when the desired pressure is reached, maintaining consistent output without manual intervention.
- High Pressure Generation: Depending on the model, Haskel pumps can amplify pressures up to 60,000 psi (4,137 bar). This high-pressure capability makes them indispensable in demanding industrial applications.
The air-driven design ensures intrinsic safety and ease of maintenance, while the absence of heat generation during operation makes it ideal for sensitive environments.
