Overview
The document provides comprehensive information on Tapflo's Intelligent Air Operated Diaphragm Pumps, focusing on their features, benefits, and technical specifications. These pumps are engineered to minimize operational costs and air consumption, featuring ultra-low start pressure and intelligent control solutions.

Company Background
Tapflo, founded in 1980, is a family-owned enterprise that has expanded into a global group. The company prioritizes commitment, quality, and simplicity, adhering to ISO 9001:2015 standards.

Product Features
The TC series pumps utilize LEAP® technology to lower air pressure requirements and internal friction. Notable features include retrofit capability, noise reduction, dry running and dead heading detection, batch dispensing, improved maintenance with quick air valve changes, electrical feedback for monitoring, control simplification without external solenoid valves, and availability in plastic, metal, and sanitary series.

Energy Efficiency
The TC series pumps offer up to 70% energy savings compared to traditional pumps, capable of starting at 0.3 bar while maintaining high flow rates, thus reducing energy costs.

Technical Specifications
The document details technical data such as maximum capacity, volume per stroke, discharge and air pressure limits, suction lift capabilities, temperature and solid size limits, and weight and dimensions for various pump sizes.

Performance and Installation
Performance curves for different pump models illustrate capacity changes under varying conditions. Installation examples and dimensions are provided for proper setup.

Additional Solutions
Tapflo offers Guardian systems for monitoring discharge fluid pressure and Barrier pumps with additional diaphragms for enhanced safety.

Guardian System Overview
The document also covers the Guardian system, an energy conservation device for protecting air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps. It ensures efficient operation, reduces energy consumption, and extends pump component lifespan while enhancing safety in high-risk applications.

Key Features of Guardian System
Features include pressure monitoring between primary and secondary diaphragms, barrier protection to prevent air ingestion, dry run and stop functionality to prevent damage, and automatic restart after a dead head condition.

Applications
The Guardian system is suitable for high-risk applications where pump efficiency and safety are paramount.

Contact Information
The document provides contact details for Tapflo representatives worldwide, ensuring global customer support and service availability.

INTELLIGENT AIR OPERATED DIAPHRAGM PUMPS-3

Intelligent air operated diaphragm pumps TC Intelligent pumps are fitted with ingenious LEAP® technology developed by Tapflo. LEAP® or ‘Low Energy Air Pump’ is a patented technology used in AODD pumps to reduce the minimum operating air pressure by reducing internal losses and friction found in conventional AODD pumps. LOW ENERGY AIR PUMP TECHNOLOGY LEAP uses a unique indirect system to detect the position of the diaphragm shaft controlling the diaphragm movement automatically. Features & Benefits Available in Plastic, Metal and Sanitary series AODD pumps TC50 - TC425 (T50 - T425 equivalent)...

Energy Savings Tests undertaken to measure the performance of a standard pump against the new TC intelligent pump have resulted in an energy saving of up to 70%. The extensive testing procedure has shown that the largest amount of energy required by a pump is used to overcome the resistance created by the pump itself. Another major issue is found in the mid-port scenario, wherein the attempt to save energy by turning down the air pressure to a much lower level causes the stall of the pump.

INTELLIGENT AIR OPERATED DIAPHRAGM PUMPS-5

A new generation of diaphragm pump The TC Intelligent pump can operate in two settings, Internal and External Pilot. Internal Pilot In standard conditions the pump runs with a single air supply from 0.3 bar, deriving air supply to the control module from the Internal Pilot - main air supply. External Pilot In some applications however, there may be a need to use the External Pilot - a separate (additional) air supply to the LEAP module. The EP assists in moving the air valve in application of: • Extremely low pressure - it supports shifting of the air valve; High pressure of 8 bar - to create...

The performance curves are based on water at 20°C. Other circumstances might change the performance. See below how the capacity will change at different viscosities and suction lifts. Performance curves Example see the red line A flow of 30 litres/minute is desired. The discharge head is calculated to 30 mWC. We choose a TC70. It requires an air pressure of 4 bar and will consume approximately 0.20 Nm3 air per minute.

The Guardian is an energy conservation device designed to protect an air operated double diaphragm (AODD) pump from operating in an inefficient manner that uses unnecessary energy and reduces the life of its parts. It also offers the added benefit of providing greater safety to applications of high risk. The Guardian directly monitors the discharge fluid pressure against its set point stopping the pump if the media pressure increases above the set point (closed valve) or falls below the set point (dry-run) dependant on configuration. Barrier Protection Barrier pumps (TB) have an additional set...
