Construction and Operations

The operation of high pressure liquid pumps is based on the principle of an oscillating pressure intensifier. In simple terms, the principle states that pumping can continue even if the pressure reduces. The pumps function using compressed air ranging from 1 to 10 bar. This allows the pump to continue its operation despite any pressure drops.

The construction of Maximator pumps is designed to support the oscillating pressure principle. They feature the following components:

Drive piston
Suction chamber
Air piston joint
Diameter plunger
Inlet check valve
Outlet check valve

The air piston joint is connected to the small diameter plunger. The pressure ratio is the key to determining the maximum outlet pressure. Higher outlet pressures can be gained by simply increasing the pressure ratios.

The pumps are self-priming, and generally, do not require the use of airline lubricator. The liquid flows into the suction chamber due to the upstroke of the drive piston. This suction effect causes the inlet check valve to open, while and the outlet check valve is closed. Down-stroke generates the required pressure for an application. The generated pressure causes the inlet check valve to close, and the outlet check valve to open. The pressure is then transferred to the application equipment.

Maximator pneumatic liquid pumps consist of automatic cycles. The cycles slow down when there is a build-up of pressure. Once the output pressure forces are equalized, the pump stops automatically. The pump restarts if there is an increase in the air drive pressure, or a slight drop in.

Maximator high pressure pumps can provide a variety of benefits to technical applications in various industries.

The pressure can be regulated by using one of two components – manual pressure control units, or pneumatically triggered valves.
The pneumatic liquid pumps are extremely appropriate for application in explosion-proof areas.
Substitution of leakages by automatic additional delivery of liquid from the pump
The pump does not consume excess energy even when it is maintaining the requisite pressure for long periods of time.
No heat loss takes place during the pressure holding stage.
The high pressure liquid pumps provide ease of installation and quiet operation.
The pump is self-contained. The product only requires connections for the suction, pressure lines, and air supply.

Maximator high efficiency pumps are ideal for a broad variety of oil, water and chemical applications.

Tips and Warning

The following tips and warnings can help ensure durable operation and performance of Maximator air driven liquid pumps.

The pump’s outlet pressure can be set easily via an air regulator.
The model numbers of each pump reflect the nominal pressure ratios, while the technical data indicates the exact ratios.
In an application, the minimum liquid pressure can be calculated by multiplying the pressure ratio with the available shop air pressure.
The performance of the pneumatic liquid pump can be affected by a number of conditions. These include dirty filters, deficient inlet sizes, and freezing of the pilot valves.
