Why use Haskel Air Driven Pumps? |
Haskel air driven pumps offer many advantages over
conventional electrical driven units as follows:
Haskel products are backed by an international network of highly trained distributors with application engineering expertise who can provide a complete problem solving service. Key Features:

| 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.

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.

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: |
|
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:
(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. |

One of the more important features of the Haskel pump is the seal assembly for the hydraulic piston. Haskel's expertise in this field is considerable. Longer life and more versatile seals are continually being developed by Haskel to meet demanding applications. Liquids compatible with Haskel Pumps To assist in easier pump selection, we have allocated below a service code number against certain popular liquids, classified in groups. These service code numbers are referred to in the tables "Wetted materials of construction and services" which are provided throughout this catalog under each pump series. i.e. Page 7 for 1/3 HP "M" series pumps. For other liquids consult factory. |

NOTE: Dynamic seal life with non-lubricating fluids will understandably be less than with lubricating types. OPERATING TEMPERATURES Air Drive Section +25" thru +150 f (low temperature seals are available. Please consult factory). Liquid Section For reasonable seal life, high temperatures should be limited to 125' -- 130 F for the "F" or "W" seal models; 275 F for the "T" or "TV" seal models (with distance piece). Factory Assistancet Circuit assistance is available. Please consult with the factory or any authorized Haskel distributor for further information. Call (800) 576-6308 or email for assistance.
