Air Driven Liquid Pumps

Air driven liquid pumps operate on the principle of differential working areas. An air piston drives a smaller diameter plunger or piston to provide a pressure ratio.The pressure ratio is the method of determining maximum outlet pressure available. HYDR-STAR model numbers reflect the nominal pressure ratio of the pumps.

HYDR-STAR liquid pumps will cycle automatically when compressed air is first applied to the drive. It will start cycling at its maximum speed thus producing maximum fluid flow. At this stage, the pump is acting as a transfer pump, filling the pressure system with fluid. As resistance increases in the system (creating back pressure to the pump), the pump will decrease its reciprocating action. Back pressure in the system finally balances with the incoming air drive pressure times the ratio. At this point, the pump will stall and maintain pressure without consuming any energy. If there is further demand on the system for flow, the pump will automatically start cycling again.

Easy handling

1. Initial operation

The pump is prepared for operation manually:

»Connect supply lines (compressed air, suction and pressure lines).

»Set air drive pressure.

»Open compressed air supply slowly so that the high-pressure pump starts up .

2. Build up pressure

The pump technology executes all the steps for pressure build-up automatically:

»Automatic cycling of 4/2-way valve (spoolcycling valve) by means of air pulses from the pilot valve (2/2-way valve)

»Suction of medium.

»Optimum cycling conditions thanks to large cross-sections .

3. Achieve and hold pressure

The pump controls the processes of reaching and holding pressure.

»Pump automatically stops operating when the operating pressure is reached due to equilibrium of forces

»Pressure is held.

»Pressure holding phase with no energy consumption or heat generation .

»Pump restarted automatically if operating pressure drops .

Selection

The pump model is selected according to the use requirements. Such as output pressure, output flow, medium and

temperature, available air or gas drive pressure and flow. This guide will help you to pre-select the pump ideally suited

for your application. If you have specific questions, Please contact us. We urge you to provide us with details of the

duties you require from the pump, available air/gas drive pressure, and pressure/flow requirements, and we will

recommend a model and any corresponding accessories.

The series and its functions

HYDR-STAR pumps offer the right solution for every application. They are suitable for different or stepped flow rates as well as for different maximum allowable operating pressures.HYDR-STAR pumps with two or three air drive sections reach the same final pressure as a HYDR-STAR pump with one air drive section with 1/2 or 1/3 of the air drive. Double-acting pumps increase the pump capacity by around 50% in comparison to single-acting pumps and reduce the pulsation equally.

The following model variants are available depending on the series:
