✦ Synopsis

Air operated double diaphragm pumps provide an interesting sealless alternative to centrifugal and positive displacement pumps, and are invaluable for applications where it is impossible or dangerous to use electricity. First introduced more than 40 years ago, more recent innovations in pump design and the construction of the diaphragms are boosting demand for these pumps. Tom Rozee provides the details.
