AOD Design Improvements
Bolted Design Added in AL & SS 1-1/2” Clamped Design 1-1/2” Bolted Design Manifolds & Pump Chamber Rounded – Efficiency + Cost
Bolted Design Added in AL & SS Aluminum Bolted Sizes Added 1-1/2”, 2” and 3” 1” Aluminum size was always bolted design Stainless Steel Sizes Added 3” bolted is a completely new design There is no 3” SS clamped design
Bolted Designs Added in AL & SS 2” and 3” Bolted Pumps can utilize either an aluminum center section, or the newer polypro center section.
Bolted Designs Added in AL & SS 2” and 3” AL and SS bolted designs have aluminum center section as “standard” 2” Polypro and 2” PVDF (Kynar) pumps have polypro center section as “standard”
Bolted Design Added in AL & SS Advantages of 2” & 3” Aluminum CS Lower cost Higher efficiency at 100+ PSI inlet air pressure Higher efficiency at 100+ GPM Advantages of 2” & 3” Polypro CS Non-icing design Chemically resistant Polypro/SS materials
2” Pump Over Speeding Protection New Teflon pilot spool bumper added Behr Paint; Sunair-distributor Dynamic pump speed control – DRD100 Price Pump video Detects increased air volume and shuts down air supply
Other AOD Improvements New quieter mufflers added as an Option in 2009 New filter/regulators tested w/gauge better flow Spool housing cap now 30% GF Nylon New supplier for 2” SS spool housing; lower cost 3D models of bolted design parts and selected existing parts; could make 3D pump models Electrically conductive CFRPP with ATEX for non-metallic pumps
AOD Accessories/Yamada Pump Speed Controller – Yamada YSC-2EX For 2” and 3” metallic pumps – counts and maintains cycle speed and flow control Dry Run Detector – Yamada DRD-100 For 2” and 3” pumps – prevents over speeding and over stroking by detecting increase in air volume Liquid Level Contoller – LLC1 and LLC2 All pneumatic start/stop sump level control Diaphragm Monitoring – DM2 Leak detection sends electrical signal to controller
