Abstract

See full text

A two-stage membrane pump having a first pump head and a second pump head is provided. The pump heads are typically crank operated with a camshaft set up such that one pump head is in exhaust mode and the other in inlet mode, and vice-versa, during operation. The membrane and the inlet and outlet valves of the pump heads are designed to work together, along with each pump head working synchronously such that the inlet of the second pump head and exhaust of the first pump head are sealed by the actions of the two membranes. As a result an inlet valve in the second pump head is not needed. The costs of such a pump are thereby reduced while increasing the reliability of the two-stage pump.
