Overview of Diaphragm Compressors
These compressors are designed to compress gases without contamination or leakage, suitable for pressures up to 60,000 psig, and operate cooler than conventional compressors.
Design and Construction
The compressors use metal diaphragms to isolate the process media, with corrosion-resistant materials to prevent contamination. The design is optimized for maximum fatigue life and displacement.
Key Components
  • Oil Relief Valve: Limits maximum oil and gas pressure.
  • Priming Pump: Eliminates priming issues, driven by the main crankshaft.
  • Injection Pump: Compensates for oil leakage and compressibility.
  • Triple Diaphragm Construction: Prevents galling and ensures media compatibility.
  • Leak Detection System: Detects leaks and prevents contamination.
Applications and Equipment
  • Pilot Plants: Turnkey solutions for quick startup and minimal installation.
  • Stirred Reactors: Custom-designed for laboratories and small-scale production.
  • Syringe Pumps: Designed for precise fluid handling with pulse-less flow.
  • Magnetic Stirrers: Ideal for mixing toxic or high-purity materials.

Diaphragm Compressors Explained PDC Machines’ metallic diaphragm compressors are ideal for compressing all types of gases without incurring any contamination of the process media or leakage of gas to ambient air that results from reciprocating and other types of compressors. Traditional reciprocating compressors are subject to leakage past the piston rings which can result in contamination of the process gas with the hydraulic oil. This is accomplished by isolating the process media from the piston and related components with a set of metal diaphragms. The piston moves a column of hydraulic fluid,...
