Abstract:
An electronically controlled diaphragm pump system includes a pump housing with a drive gas chamber, a fluid chamber separated by a diaphragm, gas pressure means for providing a drive gas pressure in response to a control signal, and gas under-pressure means connected to a gas outlet port for providing a gas outlet under-pressure or sucking of gas in response to a control signal. The pump system has a displacement sensor and control circuitry connected to the displacement sensor for determining the displacement or position of the diaphragm and adapted or supplying the control signals to the gas pressure means and the gas under-pressure means.

Claim (Index 1):
A diaphragm pump for conveying fluids comprising:\n a pump housing having a rigid wall comprising a first drive fluid chamber with a first circumference flange and a second conveyed fluid chamber with a second circumference flange wherein the first and second fluid chambers are separated by a fluid tight elastic membrane, wherein\n (i) said first chamber is adapted to support a reciprocating drive fluid; \n (ii) said second chamber is adapted to support a reciprocating conveyed fluid; \n (iii) said first chamber fluid and second fluid chamber are separated by said elastic membrane secured fluid tight between said first and second flanges in the circumference of the first and second chambers; \n (iv) said fluid tight elastic membrane is adapted to avoid mixing of the drive fluid and the conveyed fluid, \n (v) the elastic membrane able to take any shape and any dynamic position within the first and second chamber rigid walls; \n (vi) the first drive fluid chamber comprises a first drive fluid port in the first chamber rigid wall, and said first drive fluid port is adapted to provide at least one of:\n (a) a drive fluid pressure above atmospheric pressure, \n (b) a suction of drive fluid pressure out of said first drive fluid chamber from below atmospheric pressure, or \n (c) a release of drive fluid from said first drive fluid chamber; \n \n (vii) the second fluid chamber comprises a second conveyed fluid port in the second chamber rigid wall, and said port is adapted to exchange the conveyed fluid \n (viii) the first drive fluid port is adapted to be connected to a means for providing a drive fluid over-pressure in relation to atmospheric pressure and in response to a control signal; \n (ix) said first drive fluid port is adapted to be connected to a means for providing a drive fluid under-pressure or suction of drive fluid or releasing of drive fluid pressure in relation to atmospheric pressure and in response to a control signal; and \n (x) the dynamic position of said elastic membrane is adapted to be detected by a sensor for detecting in real-time the dynamic position of said elastic membrane.
