Abstract
A metering pump comprises a pump chamber with a diaphragm for delivering a metering agent to a metering point. The pump chamber is adapted to be connected with the metering agent tank through a suction conduit comprising a suction valve. Moreover, a return conduit comprising a head valve is provided. For providing an automatic bleeding or ventilation of the metering pump and the possibility of using the pump also for metering aggressive media, the outlet of the pump chamber is adapted to be connected with the metering point through a second head valve. The outlet is connected with the return conduit and a bleed valve is provided in the return conduit.
Claims10
A metering pump comprising a first diaphragm pump comprising a pump chamber and a diaphragm for pumping a metering agent to a metering point, a suction conduit comprising a suction valve and connecting said pump chamber with a metering agent tank, a return conduit comprising a first head valve and an automatic bleeding system, wherein said pump chamber is adapted to have an outlet thereof connected with said metering point through a second head valve, said outlet being connected with said return conduit, wherein said bleeding system is in the form of a second disphragm pump provided in said return conduit, said two pumps being designed to be driven by a common drive and wherein said first diaphragm pump performs a suction stroke each (n-m)th stroke, and wherein n denotes the number of strokes of the pump chamber diaphragm and m is a natural number.
A metering pump comprising a pump chamber with a diaphragm for pumping metering agent to a metering point, a suction conduit comprising a suction valve and connecting said pump chamber with the metering agent tank, a return conduit comprising a first head valve and an automatic bleeding system wherein said pump chamber is adapted to have an outlet thereof connected with said metering point through a second head valve, said outlet being connected with said return conduit, and wherein said bleeding means are provided in said return conduit, said bleeding means being in the form of a second diaphragm pump.
A metering pump comprising a first pump embodying a pump chamber with a diaphragm for pumping metering agent to a metering point, a suction conduit comprising a suction valve and connecting said pump chamber with a metering agent tank, a return conduit comprising a first head valve and an automatic bleeding system wherein said pump chamber is adapted to have an outlet thereof connected with said metering point through a second head valve, said outlet being connected with said return conduit and wherein said bleeding means is in the form of a diaphragm pump provided in said return conduit and wherein the two diaphragm pumps are designed to be driven by a common drive.
A metering pump comprising a first pump provided with a diaphragm for pumping metering agent to a metering point, a suction conduit comprising a suction valve and connecting said first pump chamber with a metering agent tank, a return conduit comprising a first head valve and a bleeding valve, wherein said first pump chamber is adapted to have an outlet thereof connected with said metering point through a second head valve, said outlet being connected with said return conduit, and wherein actuating means are provided for actuating said bleeding valve in synchronization with said first pump to close said bleeding valve a short period before the metering pump performs a pressure stroke and to hold said bleeding valve closed during the pressure stroke of the pump.
A metering pump comprising a first pump provided with a diaphragm for pumping metering agent to a metering point, a suction conduit comprising a suction valve and connecting said first pump chamber with a metering agent tank, a return conduit comprising a first head valve and a bleeding valve, wherein said first pump chamber is adapted to have an outlet thereof connected wtih said metering point through a second head valve, said outlet being connected with said return conduit, and wherein actuating means are provided for actuating said bleeding valve in synchronization with said first pump to close said bleeding valve during the pressure stroke of the pump and wherein the bleeding valve is in the form of a diaphragm pump.
A metering pump comprising a first pump for pumping a metering agent to a metering point, a suction conduit comprising a suction valve and connecting said first pump with a metering agent tank, a return conduit comprising a first head valve and an automatic bleeding system wherein said first pump is adapted to have an outlet thereof connected to said metering point through a second head valve, said outlet being connected with said return conduit and wherein said bleeding means are provided in said return conduit, said bleeding means being in the form of a second pump.
