Air Driven Liquid Pumps Are Effective for Hydraulic Applications

Air driven liquid pumps are ideal for use in hydraulic applications and may be a very cost-effective alternative to the use of a traditional electric hydraulic power unit. There are myriad advantages that are associated with the use of air driven liquid pumps in hydraulic applications. The advantages and benefits must be carefully considered when making a determination on what is appropriate to use for a desired application.

Air Driven Liquid Pumps Provide Advantages When Used in Hydraulic Applications
Air driven liquid pumps are versatile and can be used in a variety of different applications. If a constant amount of pressure is required over a lengthy period of time, an air-driven liquid pump can work to achieve the desired output pressure on an ongoing basis. In some cases, there is intermittent flow and pressure demands. Under these circumstances, an air driven liquid hydraulic pump can also be utilized.

Air driven liquid pumps are also versatile because the pumps are customizable. Factory-customization of hydraulic and pneumatic circuitry is possible with an air-driven liquid pump, which allows for the item to come in a plug-and-pay package. It can simply be hooked up to the desired application and its factory-customizations will ensure that the pump is ready to operate as desired.

Different potential maximum output pressures add to the versatility of air driven liquid pumps as well. Some of these types of pumps, for example, can provide pressures as high as 10,000 psi or 680 bar.  Others can provide output pressures at 5000 psi or 340 bar. A determination should be made on what potential desired output pressures may need to be achieved with the air-driven liquid series pump so that the correct item can be chosen and utilized.

An air driven liquid pump can produce and hold a desired output pressure for days on end provided that there are no leaky valves present. As the pump holds the desired output pressure, no energy is consumed. This helps to keep costs of operation contained even as a desired output pressure is continuously maintained.   No energy is wasted as the air driven liquid pump is almost 100 percent efficient.

The air driven pump will also not generate heat as it maintains the necessary output pressure.  An air driven liquid pump can be made with non-ferrous moving parts, and can be constructed to make it possible to avoid all metal-to-metal contact. This design is beneficial because the air driven liquid pump may be effectively utilized in a HAZMAT environment and within an explosion-proof environment.

With a plug-and-play design, an air driven liquid pump can be used for fluid power applications and hydraulic applications that demand a high pressure but have intermittent flow.  There is no need for plumbing or line-mounted systems and there are fewer leakage points when an air driven liquid pump is used compared with the alternative.  All of these factors are major benefits related to the use of the air-driven liquid pump.
