Product catalog summary
Overview of ODS Diaphragm Pump
The ODS diaphragm pump is an air-operated model known for its superior performance over centrifugal and helical screw pumps. It offers simplicity in control and power transmission, making it more efficient than mechanically or hydraulically operated models. Designed for long-term heavy-duty performance, it can handle slurries that other pumps cannot.
Pumping Capabilities
The ODS pump efficiently transfers various slurries, including delicate crystal slurries, highly viscous and abrasive slurries, corrosive slurries, large solids, volatile slurries, and shear-sensitive liquids.
Advantages
  • Automatable for process efficiency.
  • Operates dry indefinitely without air binding or seal failure.
  • Adjustable during operation for flexibility in capacity and pressure.
  • Low maintenance requirements.
  • Handles tough conditions, including high temperatures and high solid concentrations.
Operation Mechanism
The pump operates through a fill and discharge stroke mechanism, using compressed air to move the diaphragm and transfer slurries gently. Variants include spring-assist and air cylinder-assist models for different suction lift requirements.
Components and Controls
  • Variable timer for cycle control.
  • Cast iron pump cover and casing with optional linings.
  • Solenoid-operated control valve and check valves in various models.
  • Air chamber for high-pressure applications.
  • Regulator and muffler for noise reduction.
Accessories and Features
  • Hinge assembly for easy maintenance.
  • Discharge stroke position sensors for monitoring.
  • Automatic pressure adjustment systems.
  • Moisture detector for diaphragm failure alerts.
Check Valves
Three types are available: Quick-opening ball-check, in-line ball-check, and flap-check valves, each suited for different applications and maintenance needs.
Pump Sizing and Specification
Proper pump selection requires information on suction head, discharge head, capacity, suction lift, slurry characteristics, and temperature. Steps include model selection, material selection, air requirement determination, and control system specification.
Limitations
  • Maximum working pressure: 100 psig.
  • Maximum hydrostatic pressure: 150 psig.
  • Maximum operating temperature: 200°F with elastomer lining.
Performance Data
Performance varies based on pump size, style, and stroke rate, with specific data provided for different models and conditions.
Specifications
Performance data for ODS pumps, specifically models 3C and 4C, operating at 40 strokes per minute, are provided. The pumps are designed with cylinder assist and can operate with a suction lift of 0 to 10 feet. Performance is measured with water at 60°F and a maximum regulator setting of 100 PSI. Lined pumps have a 10% reduction in maximum performance.
Dimensional Data
Detailed dimensional data for various pump sizes (1.5, 2, 2B, 3, and 4 inches) are included, with measurements in both inches and millimeters.
Installation Procedures
Guidelines include positioning the pump to minimize suction line length, setting air pressure 15 psi above discharge head, and using air strainers/filters to protect components. Proper alignment and support of piping are emphasized to prevent strain on the pump and check valves.
Applications
ODS pumps are suitable for handling various types of sludge, including municipal sewage, primary clarifier underflow, and digested sludges. They maintain constant peak scouring velocity regardless of pumping rate, beneficial for sludge handling and processing.
Key Features
The ODS pump's unique feature is its "Constant peak velocity pulse transfer thickening," which prevents sludge dilution and ensures consistent performance across different sludge types and conditions.

ODS Pumps Brochure-2

The ODS is an air-operated diaphragm pump. Because it is a diaphragm pump, it is superior to centrifugal and helical screw pumps for heavy-duty performance. Because it is an air-operated diaphragm pump, it is significantly superior to mechanically or hydraulically operated models due to its simplicity of control and evenly distributed power transmission. The ODS® pump, is superior to other air-operated diaphragm models because it is designed and built for truly long-term, year-in-year out, heavy-duty performance. It weighs more – two or three times more than air-operated double diaphragm pumps...

How the ODS pump works The non-assist ODS pump the pump cavity. The pumping action is positive yet gentle so that delicate crystals and slurries can be transferred or metered without damage. SUCTION STROKE ADJUSTMENT NUTS ROD GUIDE SPRING SEAT COMPRESSION SPRING OPERATING ROD Fill stroke To fill the pump cavity, positive suction head (inlet pressure) is required. When inlet valve A is lifted by the pressure of the suction head, the slurry completely fills the pump cavity. The diaphragm returns to its normal convex position and the air exhausts. Discharge valve B, seated by line pressure, prevents...

ODS pump components and controls Variable timer Controls the operation of the solenoid valve to set the number of pumping cycles per minute and the length of the discharge portion of each cycle. The timer can be automated for paced control in response to a 4-20ma signal. The timer is housed in a protective fiberglass enclosure with a hinged cover, NEMA Type 4. Multiple pump operation options are available. Remote or linear response timers are also available. The variable timer is available in several designs. Timers are solid state electronic or PLC with a wide variety of timing ranges and options,...

Choose any of three check valves Type Q: Quick-opening ball-check valve This is the valve supplied unless another is specified. It is an all-around performer. A quick opening yoke permits easy cleanout and inspection without breaking piping. Positive seating of the ball is assured by gravity and guiding ribs. Ball and seat is replaceable. Type B: In-line ballcheck valve The valve is highly efficient hydraulically with flow passing vertically straight through. It is used in applications where maintenance is infrequent. Streamlined internal design reduces the potential for material to clog or hang...

How to install your ODS pump Location Locate pump to have as short as possible suction line. Allow ample space for inspection and maintenance. Air header Air pressure in pump should be set at 15 psi above the discharge head. Install air strainer/filter close to solenoid to protect air valve from loose pipe scale and other impurities. Install air pressure regulator and filter/ strainer in accessible location. Use air chamber(s) to dampen surges due to high inlet or outlet pressures to prevent water hammer. Noise Muffler on air exhaust will keep operation quiet. Foundation Use anchor bolts into...
