Air driven diaphragm pump Series APB.. / APE.. Operating instructions 6 Functional description sera – Air driven diaphragm pumps are displacement pumps which can run dry with no harm to the pump. 7 Setup / Installation 7.1 Setup When setting the air driven diaphragm pumps in place, be sure that the suction and pressure connections are oriented properly. They are driven by dry, non-lubricated compressed air.
Air driven diaphragm pump Series APB.. / APE.. Operating instructions 7.3 Connecting the lines CAUTION! After setting up the air driven diaphragm pump, the suction and pressure line must be connected to the pump. CAUTION ! When installing suction and pressure lines, ensure that the materials used are resistant to the medium. The hose lines which are connected should be flexible and spiral or mesh reinforced.
Air driven diaphragm pump Series APB.. / APE.. Operating instructions 7.4 Connecting the compressed air supply Recommended diameter for control air pipes: Pump type CAUTION ! The control air for supplying the air driven diaphragm pump must be dry and free of oil and solid particles. d (internal) x d (external) AP.. - 30 6x8 AP.. - 45 6x8 AP.. - 90 6x8 AP.. - 100 6x8 AP.. - 150 6x8 AP.. – 200.1 8 x 10 AP.. - 340 8 x 10 AP.. - 650 8 x 10 AP..
Air driven diaphragm pump Series APB.. / APE.. Operating instructions When used to pump hazardous media, provide a spray guard on the air driven diaphragm pump as illustrated. Under some circumstances it can happen that the medium leaks out of the pump during and following a fault condition. Leaked medium must be collected and properly disposed of. 8 Commissioning Prior to start-up, check whether the suction and pressure lines have been properly installed.
Air driven diaphragm pump Series APB.. / APE.. Operating instructions Verify correct installation of the control lines (shut-off fitting, check valve). The air driven diaphragm pump should be stopped only by means of the control air supply. Open the shut-off fitting on the compressed air connection. CAUTION ! Never stop a running or pressurised pump by closing the shut-off fittings on the suction connection of the pump. This will damage the pump (diaphragm rupture).
Air driven diaphragm pump Series APB.. / APE.. Operating instructions 9 Maintenance CAUTION ! CAUTION ! All maintenance work must be performed only with a de-pressurised system. This applies to the suction and pressure line as well as to the control air. When installing or assembling the pump, it must always be kept level. Otherwise there is a risk that leaks from fasteners and connectors on metal lines will leak. Properly stop the pump, let out the medium and close the shut-off fittings. 9.

Operating instructions Fault Pump will not start Pump runs, but no feeding action Pump does not run evenly Pump stops Pump not at the capacity indicated in the table (characteristic curve) Possible cause Remedy Compressed air supply out of commission Check compressed air supply, shut-off fittings and connections.
Air driven diaphragm pump Series APB.. / APE.. Operating instructions 12 Disposal 13.2 Pulsation damper with automatic diaphragm control Switch the unit off, refer to “Decommissioning”. 12.1 Dismounting and Transport sera - diaphragm pulsation dampers with automatic diaphragm control ensure relatively even flow and reduce pressure spikes which can result in undesired oscillations in the piping system. Remove all remaining fluid, clean, neutralise and decontaminate the device carefully.
