Abstract
A system for controlling the stroke of an air-operated double diaphragm pump includes a first control valve and a second control valve disposed in parallel within a drive air outlet conduit. The first flow control valve has a first air flow capacity and the second flow control valve has a second air flow capacity which is less than about 50% of the first air flow capacity.
Description
- Double diaphragm pumps are commonly used to meter out specific quantities of a fluid from a first location to a second location. For example, double diaphragm pumps are frequently used to meter out specific quantities of concrete coloring agent from coloring agent holding tanks to concrete disposed in a delivery truck. (See, for example,
FIG. 2 .) In this application, and in many other applications, it is important to meter out the desired precise amount of material—and not less and not more. - An inherent problem, however, with double diaphragm pumps is their propensity for delivering a surge of material at the end of a pumping cycle. Typically, as a pumping cycle nears completion, the drive air inlet valve is reduced and/or the pressure of the inlet side drive air is reduced so that the pump slows down. However, even at such reduced pumping rates, the double diaphragm pump surges significantly as the pumping cycle is completed. For example, the surge of a typical one and one half inch air-operated double diaphragm pump, wherein the drive air is throttled as the cycle is completed, surges approximately 0.2 gallons as the cycle comes to an end.
- This cycle ending surge is a significant problem for those attempting to use air-operated double diaphragm pumps to meter out a precise quantity of material. Accordingly, there is a need for a system for controlling the stroke of an air-operated double diaphragm pump which significantly reduces this problem.
- The invention satisfies this need. The invention is a system for controlling the stroke of an air-operated double diaphragm pump, the pump having a drive air inlet and a drive air exhaust outlet, the system comprising (a) an air outlet conduit connected in fluid tight communication with the drive air exhaust outlet, (b) a first flow control valve operatively connected in fluid tight communication with the air outlet conduit, the first flow control valve having a first air flow capacity, and (c) a second flow control valve operatively connected in fluid tight communication with the air outlet conduit, the second flow control valve being connected in parallel with the first flow control valve and having a second air flow capacity which is less than about 80% of the first air flow capacity.
- These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following description, appended claims and accompanying drawings where:
-
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic representation of a double diaphragm pump system having features of the invention; and -
FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic representation of a system for providing liquid coloring agents to concrete mixtures within concrete delivery vehicles, having features of the invention. - The following discussion describes in detail one embodiment of the invention and several variations of that embodiment. This discussion should not be construed, however, as limiting the invention to those particular embodiments. Practitioners skilled in the art will recognize numerous other embodiments as well.
- The invention is a
system 10 for controlling the stroke of an air-operateddouble diaphragm pump 12. One embodiment of the invention is illustrated inFIG. 1 . - The
pump 12 has asuction side 14 and adischarge side 16. Product to be pumped is conveyed to thesuction side 14 via asuction side conduit 18. The product is conveyed away from thedischarge side 16 via adischarge side conduit 20. - The
pump 12 is driven by compressed drive air. Thepump 12 thus comprises adrive air inlet 22 and a driveair exhaust outlet 24. Compressed drive air is provided to thedrive air inlet 22 via a driveair inlet conduit 26. Drive air exhaust is transmitted away from the driveair exhaust outlet 24 via anair outlet conduit 28. - A first
flow control valve 30 is operatively connected in fluid tight communication with theair outlet conduit 28. Typically, thefirst control valve 30 is a solenoid valve, but other valves can also be employed. Typically, the firstflow control valve 30 is sized to be of similar diameter to that of the exhaust port of thepump 12. - The first
flow control valve 30 is sized and dimensioned to handle a large flow capacity, so as to withdraw exhaust air from the driveair exhaust outlet 24 rapidly. The first control valve, therefore, has a large first air flow capacity. - In the embodiment illustrated in
FIG. 1 , anoptional muffler 32 is disposed downstream of the firstflow control valve 30 so that noise from exhaust air being discharged to the atmosphere downstream of the firstflow control valve 30 is reduced. - A second
flow control valve 34 is operatively connected in fluid tight communication with theair outlet conduit 28 and is disposed in parallel with the firstflow control valve 30. The secondflow control valve 34 has a second air flow capacity which is markedly less than that of the first air flow capacity. Typically, the second air flow capacity is less than about 50% of the first air flow capacity, typically between about 10% and about 20% of the first air flow capacity, and can be adjusted by the user. - The
system 10 of the invention can be used to provide a method for pumping a precise quantity of fluid. In the method, the firstflow control valve 30 is initially open. Product is then pumped via the air-operateddouble diaphragm pump 12 while the firstflow control valve 30 rapidly removes exhaust air from thepump 12, so that thepump 12 operates at a high initial flow rate. In the method, greater than about 95% of the precise quantity of product is thus pumped at such high rate of flow. - Once the greater than about 95% of the precise quantity of fluid has been pumped, the first
flow control valve 30 is closed. Thereafter, the remainder of the precise quantity of fluid is pumped via the air-operateddouble diaphragm pump 12 at a reduced flow rate—because of the reduced air flow capacity of the secondflow control valve 34. - Once the entirety of the precise quantity of fluid has been pumped, the
pump 12 is shut down. By the above-described method, it has been found that typical end-of-cycle surging caused by the air-operateddouble diaphragm pump 12 are markedly reduced. For example, it has been found in a typical one and one half inchdouble diaphragm pump 12 that the end-of-cycle surge is reduced to only about 10% of the surge typically encountered in prior art air-operateddouble diaphragm pump 12 systems. - Those of skill in the art will recognize that the above-described system and method can be used in a wide variety of applications.
FIG. 2 illustrates one such application wherein thesystem 10 and method are conveniently adapted for providing liquid coloring agent toconcrete delivery vehicles 36 parked in a loading zone. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , differing liquid coloring agents are initially respectively disposed in a plurality ofbulk tanks 38. An air-operateddouble diaphragm pump 12 is connected in fluid tight communication to eachbulk tank 38. Each air-operateddouble diaphragm pump 12 is equipped with thesystem 10 of the invention. Liquid coloring agent can, therefore, be precisely removed from abulk tank 38 and delivered to adelivery vehicle 36 parked in the loading zone. Prior problems with measuring the precise quantity of liquid coloring agent for transfer to adelivery vehicle 36, due to excessive end-of-cycle surging, has been markedly reduced by thesystem 10 and method of the invention, thereby markedly increasing the reproducibility of the concrete color transported by eachdelivery vehicle 36. - Having thus described the invention, it should be apparent that numerous structural modifications and adaptations may be resorted to without departing from the scope and fair meaning of the instant invention as set forth hereinabove and as described hereinbelow by the claims.
