1 Function and Identification

1.1 Function
The Duodos is an air-driven double diaphragm pump.
The Duodos is run-dry safe and self-priming.
The pump capacity of the double diaphragm pump can be con‐
trolled by changing the pressure in the air supply. The air control is
designed for oil-free operation. The Duodos is optimally suited to
the transport of liquid chemicals.
The Duodos double diaphragm pump transports liquids to a dis‐
charge lift of 70 m. As the pump capacity depends greatly on the
back pressure, the performance curve must always be observed.
At the same time, the differential pressure between the hydraulic
and pneumatic sides must not exceed 2 bar. Higher values reduce
the service life of the double diaphragm pump.
When selecting the double diaphragm pump you must check its
material compatibility. In addition, the density, viscosity, solids con‐
tent and temperature of the liquid being transported must be con‐
sidered.
