  What is a Haskel Air Driven Liquid Pump ?

1. Air Drive Section

This  consists of  a light  weight inertia  reducing piston complete with  o-ring seal  inside an  epoxy filled wound fiberglass or hard coated aluminum barrel. The  diameter of  the air  piston is constant for any series of air driven pumps.  When compressed air is fed into the air drives, it  forces the piston down on  the compression  stroke. The air then drives the  piston back on the suction stroke (except in the case of  the M series pumps which have  a spring  return). Unlike  many competitive pumps, air drive line lubricators are  not required  nor desired  due to  the inherent low friction characteristics of the Haskel design and lubrication during assembly.

Haskel International, Inc. is the world's leading manufacturer of pneumatically driven, high-pressure liquid pumps, gas boosters, air pressure amplifiers, and high pressure systems

2. Hydraulic Section

The hydraulic piston/plunger is directly linked to the air piston and its lower portion  is housed  inside the hydraulic  body. Its diameter determines  the ratio  of the  pump (for  any particular series) which in turn determines the output flow and maximum pressure capability.  Its function  is to induce liquid into the the hydraulic body through  the inlet  check valve  and force  it out  through the outlet check valve at a higher pressure.

These are spring loaded  non-return valves  that control  the passage of liquid  into and  out of  the  pump.  When  the hydraulic piston/plunger is  on the  suction stroke  the inlet  check valve  opens to the maximum, the liquid is induced into the  pump while the outlet  check valve  is held  closed by its spring. On the pressure  stroke the  inlet check  valve is  closed as  the hydraulic  piston/plunger force the liquid out through the outlet check valve.

A dynamic seal encircles the hydraulic piston/plunger, and is one  of the  few wearing  parts. Its  function is to contain the liquid under pressure during  cycling and  prevent external  leakage or leakage into the air drive. Different seal  materials and  configurations are  used, based  on the  compatibility of the liquid to be pumped, operating temperature and the pressure rating.

NOTE:  With  most  Haskel  pumps  a  distance  piece can  be incorporated,  between the  air drive  section and the hydraulic section, for complete separation and contaminant free operation.

 

 

Hask essure valves

3. Air Cycling Valve

This  consists  of  a  unbalanced,  pilot  operated,  light weight spool  that channels  the compressed air to either side of the air piston, depending on position. The air piston actuates pilot  valves at the top and bottom of its stroke, alternately  pressurizing and venting the  large area  of the spool, causing it to reciprocate and control the  air flow  to the  air piston  to maintain  automatic cycling.  The  air  is  exhausted  from  the  pump through  an exhaust  muffler. Unlike  many competitive  pumps, Haskel  does not  use close  metal to  metal fits  in their  design. This  eliminates the costly air leakage that would otherwise result in a spool hang up condition.

  Principle of Operation:

Picture

Haskel  air  driven liquid  pumps work  on an automatic reciprocating differential area principle that uses a large area air drive piston connected to a smaller  area hydraulic piston/plunger to convert compressed air power into hydraulic power.

The nominal ratio  between the  area of  the air drive piston  and the  hydraulic piston is  indicated by the dash number in the model description and approximates the  maximum  pressure  the  pump is  capable of  generating.  Unlike other air driven pumps the  actual  ratio  is  approximately  15% higher than the  nominal so that the pump will still cycle when the ratio of the output  hydraulic pressure  to the  air drive   pressure  equals  the nominal  ratio.  For  example  an  AW-35  has  an actual  ratio of  40:1.

Example:

If air drive piston area

=25.9sq.in. (167sq.cm)

and liquid piston area

=0.65sq.in (4.2sq.cm)

then actual pump ratio

=40:1

and nominal pump ratio

=35:1

If air drive pressure

=75 psi  (5.2 bar)

the maximum outlet

  

stall pressure will be close to 40x75

=3000psi (204 bar)

(depending on friction)

If the air drive  pressure is  increased to 100 psi  (7 bar)  then minimum  outlet pressure may be close to 4000 psi (272 bar) at stall.

 

 

When compressed air is  first applied  to the  pump it  will cycle  at its  maximum speed   producing maximum  flow  and  act  as  a  transfer  pump  filling the  pressure receiver   with liquid. The pump will then gradually start to cycle at  a slower  rate as the pressure in the receiver increases and offers more resistance  to the  reciprocating differential piston assembly, until  it stops  (stalls) when  a balance  of forces  is reached.   i.e., when air drive pressure x air drive piston area  = stall  pressure x driven hydraulic piston area.

The  hydraulic  pressure  drop  (hysteresis) required  to cause  the Haskel  air driven pump to restart is  extremely small  due to  the very  low frictional  resistance offered   by the large diameter air drive piston seal  and hydraulic  seal. Under ideal conditions   (lubricity, etc.) this can be as low as two PSI times the pump's ratio.

Output Horsepower Ratings

Nominal  horsepower  ratings  use  85  psi  (5.5 bar)  air   drive  pressure   and  are approximate. They assume  an ample air supply  at adequate pressure at the pump. Inadequate air drive pipe line sizes, dirty air filters, etc.  can effect  the performance of any  pump.  Peak  hp  is obtained  at approximately  75% of  nominal ratio x air drive pressure.

 i.e.100:1 pump being driven at 100 psi (7  bar) will produce peak  power at  a hydraulic output pressure of approximately 100 x 100 x 0.75 = 7500 psi (517 bar).

 Double and Triple Air Head Pumps

The  pressure  capability  of  the  pumps in  the 1.5  horse  power  (hp)  (1.12 kw)  range can  be extended  by  stacking  air  pistons  on top  of each  other to  double  or triple  the intensification  ratio without  changing the hydraulic piston.  The double  or triple  air  head  pumps  consume  less air  than competitors  pumps  with a  single air piston of  equivalent area  since only one of the two or three heads  is pressurized on the return stroke.

The  addition  of  a  second and  third air  head increased  the  pump  hp  from approximately 1.5  to 2  hp (1.12 kw).

Double  air  head  pumps are  identified by  the last  digit 2  in the  pump model number. Thus,  a nominal  50:1 ratio pump with  two air  heads is  described as  a 52, similarly, a triple air head pump is identified  with a last digit 3. Thus a 900 ratio pump with 3 air  heads is described as a 903.
