A pump curve is a visual representation that clarifies the performance capabilities of a pump within a range of rated flow and pressure at different operating points. Proficiency in interpreting a pump curve chart is essential for identifying the full spectrum of operational points for a pump. Engineers and professionals consider this knowledge invaluable when choosing the optimal pump tailored to a specific application.
Understanding the importance of pump curves is crucial for making informed decisions about pump selection. Here's why these curves hold such value:
In summary, combination curves are indispensable tools provided by ADI that empower you to make precise and efficient choices in pump selection, ensuring performance excellence and cost-effectiveness in your industrial gas handling applications.
In the diaphragm pump industry, Standard Performance Curves are conventionally employed, resembling a typical bell-shaped normal distribution curve. These curves effectively illustrate either pressure or vacuum individually. Despite their utility in testing pump performance, they primarily cater to scenarios involving either pressure or vacuum, rather than both concurrently. However, in many gas sampling applications, a combination of vacuum and pressure is prevalent, rendering the traditional curves less suitable.
Recognizing this discrepancy, ADI has introduced a novel solution known as Combination Curves, colloquially referred to as Combo Curves. Unlike Standard Performance Curves, Combo Curves provide a comprehensive representation of a diaphragm pump's pressure and flow capacity, accommodating both vacuum and pressure simultaneously. By embracing this nuanced approach, ADI enhances the applicability of diaphragm pumps in diverse gas sampling contexts, ensuring a more accurate and insightful assessment of their performance under varied conditions.
The creation of Combination Curves involves plotting the flow rate against outlet pressure while maintaining a constant vacuum at the inlet. This process is executed for different vacuum levels, revealing how the flow rate is influenced by the combination of a vacuum on the pump inlet and pressure on the pump outlet.
Accurately interpreting a pump curve chart helps identify potential operating points for a pump, aiding informed selections tailored to specific applications.
ADI’s combination curves reveal how adjusting the outlet pressure while maintaining a constant inlet vacuum impacts the flow rate. Typically the pressure is shown on the x-axis and the flow rate on the y-axis.
Various points on the chart result from maintaining a constant inlet vacuum. Flow rate is commonly measured in liters per minute (l/min), while gas pump outlet pressure is typically measured in pounds per square inch (PSI). The constant vacuum at the pump's inlet is quantified in inches of mercury (inHg). These curves, meticulously generated in increments of 5 InHg, provide a detailed understanding of the pump's behavior under varying conditions, contributing to a more robust evaluation of its performance in real-world applications.
At ADI, we stand out by providing a complete set of resources for pump selection. We create these combination curves to cover different vacuum conditions and show how changes in both inlet vacuum and outlet pressure impact the flow rate. This unique feature makes selecting the right pump simpler, offering valuable insights for informed decisions.
