How Does a Flojet Pump Work?

how does a flojet pump work

Flojet is the go-to company when it comes to car wash pumps, with their G57 series small air operated diaphragm pump being one of the most sought after solutions in this field.

This space-saving pump utilizes air rather than electricity to operate, making installation and maintenance simple. Additionally, its unique shuttle valve design helps eliminate stalling for smooth performance. Plus, there are various voltage options and elastomer material options to choose from!

1. Diaphragm

The diaphragm is a large muscle located above the abdominal wall that separates thorax from abdomen. It reaches from its origin at the xiphoid process of the sternum anteriorly to its lower 6 costal cartilages laterally and first two lumbar vertebrae posteriorly, where all its muscular-skeletal fibers converging on its central point known as its inferior attachment point or muscular skeletal point.

People can strengthen the diaphragm with breathing exercises designed to strengthen it. Doing this helps improve lung function, reduce stress and blood pressure levels and bring down blood pressure levels. Diaphragms can also be used as birth control when properly fitted and utilized; roughly six out of 100 pregnancies could potentially be avoided through their use!

There are four types of diaphragms on the market; latex diaphragms are most frequently seen; however, silicone and wide seal rim options also exist. At Flojet we offer diaphragm pumps featuring coil spring or arching spring shapes with either standard or wide seal rim seal options; additionally some models may even come equipped with antispermicide coating for additional protection.

2. Seal

Mechanical seals provide an effective barrier between pump housings and their products or environments, with rotating shafts being protected by barrier fluid. Consisting of two sets of mechanical seal faces – one stationary in the housing and one mateable with the shaft — these mechanical seals may be lubricated either through pump liquid itself or separately provided lubricant (usually called barrier fluid) and are held together through pressure forces generated from either single or multiple springs, or metal bellows to remain in contact.

The double seal system utilizes two mechanical seal faces placed back-to-back. To prevent contamination of the atmosphere side of the pump, hydraulic pressurization between these seals with barrier fluid such as carbon graphite is utilized.

Flojet is an industry-leading manufacturer of diaphragm pumps for car wash systems, including their popular G57 model. These air-driven pumps are an ideal choice for low pressure services like tire cleaner dispensing and presoak spray applications; with options such as 12, 24 or 115 Volts they make for reliable bar or fountain equipment solutions.

3. Motor

Motors provide the power necessary for running a Flojet pump, so when selecting one, it is critical that the appropriate size and type is selected – this will help ensure that it operates without damaging diaphragm or seals.

This model of Flojet pump features either a 12 Volt or 115 Volt electric motor with standard shaft and sleeved bearing compatibility, making this demand duty pump self-regulating; automatically shutting off when valve in discharge line closes and pressure rises past set point switch OFF; once valve in discharge line opens back up and pressure falls below switch ON point it will restart and continue pumping again.

Air-driven pumps can be an invaluable addition to your car wash, ideal for low-pressure applications like tire cleaner dispensing, presoak spray and foam brush applications. Furthermore, this pump can also be used for water transfer, spraying and circulation applications – though its continual operation could potentially damage motor brushes over time. To maximize longevity of use and avoid thermal overload damage.

4. Valve

Flojet G57 pumps are an outstanding choice for virtually every low-pressure application in a car wash system, including foam brush cleaning, presoak spray dispensing and tire cleaner dispensing. Operating using air rather than electrical current makes installation simple. They’re also great for replacing worn or broken pumps in existing low-pressure systems.

Flojet pumps produce output pressure at their discharge port as a function of inlet pressure and their relief valve settings. As pressure rises, relief valves crack open to permit flow from outlet back into inlet resulting in increased output pressure.

Notably, this type of pump must not be used for pumping any flammable liquids such as gasoline or kerosene fuel oil. Instead, air or C02 can be used and must be operated in a well-ventilated area. Furthermore, continuous running will shorten its motor’s life so we recommend an auto shut-off system and vibration free pump to avoid overflow.
