(50 Cfm @ 1200 RPM from Single Diaphragm Pumps & 100 Cfm @ 1200 RPM- Double Diaphragm Pumps) The priming system will create a vacuum in the pump and in the suction hose allowing the water to be drawn upwards towards the pump. After a short priming time the water will reach the main centrifugal pump and also enter the priming chamber of the priming tank. The float in the priming chamber will now raise when it reached approximately halfway up the chamber it will fits close the small value followed by closing of the large valve. The main centrifugal pump is now also pumping water through the system. The status of the system is now as follows
Small valve is closed
Large valve is closed
Main float is highest position
Non return valve on the pumps discharge is fully open
Vacuum pump remains operating [Consumes very little power]
System is now full of water
Centrifugal pump is pumping water
Should some further air accumulates in the priming chamber than small value will open to evacuate this
air and then seal the chamber again. Should there be a sudden influx of lot of air , then large valve will also
open for faster air evacuation. This priming system is totally clean system in that no oils are evacuated or
deposited into environment. It is also important to note that none of the pumped fluids enter the vacuum
pump which although if this happen in quantities, it will not hurt the diaphragm pump, It will discharge
such fluids into environment Creating Pollution. This could typically happen if some dirt enters the valve
system of any vacuum pump ( Both in our or our competitors system) hence , the valve will leak and
eventually will start to draw the pumped fluid through the vacuum pump spilling out into the
environment. The Poseidon Smart prime system we have provided for this eventually and we are only
company in the market that has an additional safety valve build into the tank. Should the water level in the
chamber reach a too high a level, than the safety valve which has a secondary stainless steel float, will let
some air into chamber dropping down the fluid level in the chamber. This will not affect the operation of
the centrifugal pump but it will keep it safe and operating properly. With this system, it impossible for
any fluid to enter into valve system and or into priming pump
