How to estimate air consumption for aodd pumps

Estimating air consumption for Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm (AODD) pumps involves considering several factors. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Determine the pump's air consumption rate: Check the pump's specifications or manufacturer's documentation for the air consumption rate, usually expressed in Standard Cubic Feet per Minute (SCFM) or Normal Liters per Minute (NL/min).

2. Consider the operating conditions: Factors like air pressure, temperature, and humidity can impact air consumption. Ensure you're using the correct air pressure and accounting for any environmental factors.

3. Calculate the pump's cycle rate: Determine how often the pump cycles per minute. This depends on the pump's size, application, and fluid being pumped.

4. Use the manufacturer's air consumption chart: Many AODD pump manufacturers provide charts or tables that estimate air consumption based on pump size, air pressure, and cycle rate.

5. Apply a safety factor: To account for variations in operating conditions, apply a safety factor (e.g., 10-20%) to your estimated air consumption.

Example:

If a pump consumes 10 SCFM at 60 PSI and cycles 20 times per minute, your estimated air consumption would be:

10 SCFM x 20 cycles/minute = 200 SCFM

Adding a 10% safety factor: 200 SCFM x 1.1 = 220 SCFM
