The Duodos is an air-driven double diaphragm pump.
The Duodos is run-dry safe and self-priming.
The pump capacity of the double diaphragm pump can be con‐
trolled by changing the pressure in the air supply. The air control is
designed for oil-free operation. The Duodos is optimally suited to
the transport of liquid chemicals.
The Duodos double diaphragm pump transports liquids to a dis‐
charge lift of 70 m. As the pump capacity depends greatly on the
back pressure, the performance curve must always be observed.
At the same time, the differential pressure between the hydraulic
and pneumatic sides must not exceed 2 bar. Higher values reduce
the service life of the double diaphragm pump.
When selecting the double diaphragm pump you must check its
material compatibility. In addition, the density, viscosity, solids con‐
tent and temperature of the liquid being transported must be con‐
sidered.

Please ensure when handling hazardous substances
that you have read the latest safety data sheets pro‐
vided by the manufacture of the hazardous substance.
The actions required are described in the safety data
sheet. Check the safety data sheet regularly and
replace, if necessary, as the hazard potential of a sub‐
stance can be re-evaluated at any time based on new
findings.
The system operator is responsible for ensuring that
these safety data sheets are available and that they
are kept up to date, as well as for producing an associ‐
ated hazard assessment for the workstations affected.

WARNING!
Hazardous media / contamination of persons and
equipment
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries.
material damage
–Ensure the device is resistant to the media being
conveyed
–Always observe the safety data sheets for the
media to be conveyed. The system operator must
ensure that these safety data sheets are available
and that they are kept up-to-date
–The safety data sheets for the media being con‐
veyed are always decisive for initiating counter
measures in the event of leakage to the media
being conveyed
–Observe the general restrictions in relation to vis‐
cosity limits, chemical resistance and density
WARNING!
Service life of the diaphragm
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries
The service life of the diaphragm cannot be precisely
specified. For this reason, the possibility of fracture
and subsequent leakage of liquids must be taken into
account.
In addition, you must prevent particles from the defec‐
tive diaphragm reaching the media being conveyed.
This can be achieved e.g. by filtration, a hose rupture
alarm or other means suitable for the respective
process.
CAUTION!
Compressed air
Before working on the double diaphragm pump, close
the compressed air lines and vent the double dia‐
phragm pump.
Before undertaking any maintenance and repair work,
close off the compressed air supply, discharge the
compressed air and detach the air supply line from the
double diaphragm pump. The line to the discharge
side of the double diaphragm pump may be under
pressure and must likewise be vented.
CAUTION!
Hot surface
When conveying hot liquids, the pump can likewise
become hot. Hot surfaces may then be present on the
pump. Bear this in mind and take suitable measures to
reduce any hazards.

Page 9
Safety and Responsibility
Maximum pump sound pressure level 91 dB
Depending on the operating conditions, the maximum
sound pressure level of the device can reach 88 dB ±
3 dB. Bear this in mind and take suitable measures to
reduce any impact caused by this sound pressure
level. The type and implementation of suitable meas‐
ures depends on the local circumstances and is the
responsibility of the system operator.
Check the fastening elements are correctly seated.
Before commissioning the double diaphragm pump,
you must check that all fastening elements with sealing
rings are correctly seated. The seals may ‘creep’ , so
that the fastening elements come loose over time.
In the event of a diaphragm rupture
In the event of a diaphragm rupture, the pumped
medium can enter the air system of the double dia‐
phragm pump and from there into the atmosphere. If
the pumped medium is a dangerous, harmful or toxic
substance, the air outlet must be routed to a suitable
area where safe disposal is possible.
Operation in the open air and outdoors

n User qualification, installation: trained qualified personnel, see
Ä Chapter 2.2 ‘Users' qualifications’ on page 6
CAUTION!
Possible consequence: Slight or minor injuries. Mate‐
rial damage.
Observe the permissible ambient conditions.
Upright installation
Install the double diaphragm pump upright and plumb.
The valves of the double diaphragm pump operate
when loaded by gravity. The valve balls are pressed by
gravity into the valve seat and seal it off. Installation
outside the vertical axis impairs the function of the
valves.
Nominal width of the pipework
The threaded connectors must not reduce the nominal
width of the pipework or the double diaphragm pump.
The hydraulic connectors have internal and external
threads. Do not screw threaded fittings on to the
internal thread as this would lead to a reduction of the
nominal width.
Keep the suction line short and the number of pipe valves small.
Do not reduce the diameter of the suction line. If a rigid pipework
system is used, short flexible hose pieces should be inserted
between the double diaphragm pump and pipework to protect the
double diaphragm pump against vibration and tensile and com‐
pressive forces. The installation of a pulsation damper is recom‐
mended to reduce pulsations in the pumped medium.

Assembly
NOTICE!
Ambient conditions
Possible consequence: Property damage and
increased wear and tear
Assembly is to be carried out in the following order. If
the pump has to be installed outdoors, then it is to be
equipped with protection against sunlight and weather
influences.
When positioning the pump, ensure that sufficient
room for access is provided for all types of mainte‐
nance work.
Nominal width of the pipework
The threaded connectors must not reduce the nominal
width of the pipework or the double diaphragm pump.
The hydraulic connectors have internal and external
threads. Do not screw threaded fittings on to the
internal thread as this would lead to a reduction of the
nominal width.
Dimensioning of the suction side
Layout the suction side with generous dimensions. The
supply of the double diaphragm pump with the liquid to
be pumped must be ensured under all load and oper‐
ating statutes. Ensure that the inside diameters of the
suction lines are generously sized.
To ensure a maximum service life of the diaphragm, the double
diaphragm pump should be installed as close as possible to the
pumped medium. If there is a positive priming pressure on the suc‐
tion side of more than 3.0 m water column, the fitting of a back
pressure valve in the air outlet of the double diaphragm pump is
recommended in order to protect the diaphragm. The minimum air
pressure to operate the double diaphragm pump is approximately 1
bar.
13
Page 14
Assembly
4.4 Compressed air supply
Compressed air supply
The double diaphragm pump must be connected to a
compressed air supply in accordance with the current
state of the art (ISO 8573-1). We require unoiled,
residual oil-free (residual oil from the compressors of
maximum 0.1 mg/m³ for HEES-liquids, bio-oils or max.
5mg/m³ permitted for mineral oils) and appropriately
dried compressed air (ISO 8573-1, class 4 with 3 °C
PDP).
Our recommendation is that the pressure dew point
must be at least 10 °C below the ambient temperature.
Suitable compressed air supply
The system operator is responsible for the provision of
a suitable compressed air supply. In doing so, observe
ISO 8573.
Lubrication of the air valves
Layout the compressed air supply with generous dimensions. Your
compressed air supply must be able to supply the double dia‐
phragm pump with sufficient compressed air at any time and under
all operating statutes. In this respect also consider the air con‐
sumption of other devices and machinery connected to the same
compressed air supply. Considerable pressure fluctuations can
occur in the compressed air supply when switching compressed air
consumers on and off.
The air pressure of the supplied air must not exceed 7 bar (100
psi). Connect the air inlet of the double diaphragm pump to a com‐
pressed air supply, which is designed to provide the required pump
capacity in terms of air quantity and pressure. To guarantee the
supply pressure remains within the specified values, a control
valve should be connected upstream of the double diaphragm
pump.
In there is a rigid air supply line insert a short piece of flexible hose
between the double diaphragm pump and the pipework.
The weight of the air supply line, control valve, and filters must not
weigh upon the air connection fitting of the double diaphragm
pump, rather it must be supported in a suitable manner. Otherwise
the double diaphragm pump can be damaged.
Based on their design, the air valve and the pilot valve do not
require any lubrication and indeed must not be lubricated.
Moisture in the air line
Water in the compressed air can lead to the exhaust air freezing or
the double diaphragm pump icing up. The possible consequences
are malfunctions or failure of the double diaphragm pump. It is rec‐
ommended that an air dryer is fitted. This extracts the water from
the compressed air and protects against icing up.

ated hazard assessment for the workstations affected.
The following checks are to be carried out:
n Ensure that the device has not been damaged during transpor‐
tation or storage. Immediately report any damage to the sup‐
plier
n Check that the air pressure is suitable for the device.
n Ensure that the device is suitable for the liquid to be conveyed
and that it will not be attacked.
n Make sure that the temperature of the liquid does not exceed
the recommended temperature range
n Install a manometer in the discharge line if the back pressure
value is unknown
n Under the operating conditions, check the values for flow, pres‐
sure, etc.
n Install a pressure relief valve in the discharge line in order to
protect the pump in the event that a valve is unintentionally
closed off or the line is blocked in another way.

Commissioning
1.To start the double diaphragm pump, open the air value by
approximately 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn
2.
Cavitation
If opening of the air valve causes the stroke rate
of the double diaphragm pump to increase, but
not however the flow volume passing through the
double diaphragm pump, then cavitation is the
cause. Slightly turn back the air valve so that the
air consumption and feed rate of the double dia‐
phragm pump are set in an optimum ratio.
Once the double diaphragm pump is filled with water, open
the air valve further to set the required air flow.

Rinse through the double diaphragm pump after every use if liquids
are used which when stationary have a tendency to form deposits
or to solidify. This avoids damage to the double diaphragm pump.
Liquid residues remaining in the double diaphragm pump may dry
out and form deposits. When restarting the double diaphragm
pump, this can lead to problems at the diaphragms and the ball
valves. At temperatures below 0 °C the double diaphragm pump
must always be completely drained.
