SUNCENTER pumps are air driven at a drive air pressure of 1bar to 8bar (14.5 psi to116 psi) by the normal air compressor. Basically the principle of operation is similar to a reciprocating amplifier where control of the piston at the end position is regulated by a pilot operated 4/2 way valve.

Suncenter pumps feature a large air piston joint to a smaller diameter plunger. The pressure ratio is the difference of these two areas and is the method of determining maximum outlet pressure. Higher pressures obtained by using higher pressure ratios.Suncenter model numbers reflect the pumps nominal pressure ratios， while the technical data indicates exact ratios. The outlet pressure is easily to set through a simple air regulator. By multiplying the pressure ratio by the available shop air pressure, the nominal liquid pressure can be calculated.

SUNCENTER pumps are self priming. In general it is not necessary to use an air line lubricator. The liquid to be pumped flows into the suction chamber by the up-stroke of the drive piston. By this suction effect, the inlet check valve is opened and the outlet check valve is closed. The down-stroke generates the pressure at the liquid side. The inlet check valve is closed and the outlet check valve is opened by the generated pressure. SUNCENTER liquid pumps cycle automatically, where the pressure is built up the numbers of cycles slow down, the pump stops automatically when the output pressure forces are equal. The pump restarts with a slight drop in the outlet pressure or an increase in the air drive pressure. Pump performance can be affected by a number of conditions, such as freezing of muffler or pilot valves (which is caused by moisture in air lines), inadequate inlet air line sizes and dirty filers. Don’t reduce the indicated port sizes and consult SUNCENTER for exact flow conditions not shown in charts.

• ◪ They are characterized by the same features as the DGG pumps single acting, single air drive head types, but they have less pulsations and deliver approx. 50 % more flow.
