Have you ever wondered how AODD are like inside? Are you thinking “who cares”? Oh yes, I understand you, but… you snooze, you lose.
Here you can see our sectioned PHOENIX 100. You can distinguish clearly air and fluid diaphragms, pneumatic exchange, PTFE balls, ball cages and ball seats.
How do these components work? The first stage is suction cycle: compressed air fills right inner chamber, causing the opposing diaphragm to create suction, lifting the lower valve ball, pulling in fluid at inlet. Simultaneously, the right chamber is in “discharge” cycle.
Subsequently, there is discharge cycle: compressed air fills left inner chamber, causing upper valve ball to open and discharge fluid. Simultaneously, the right chamber is in “suction” cycle.
