  • PERSONAL AIR SAMPLING PUMP ASSEMBLY
    Publication number: 20220412338
    Abstract: An air sampling pump includes a reciprocating piston for operating a diaphragm assembly. The diaphragm includes a valve head including a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet and a fluid chamber defining a fluid path between the inlet and outlet. A diaphragm sealing engages the valve head and encloses the fluid chamber. The diaphragm includes a piston diaphragm membrane portion coupled to the piston for reciprocating with the piston and reciprocation of the piston causes a change in air pressure within the fluid chamber to cause air to move from the fluid inlet toward the fluid outlet. The diaphragm includes a damper membrane portion, which cooperate to reduce an amplitude of pulsation in the airflow at the fluid inlet and fluid outlet.

  • Personal air sampling pump assembly
    Patent number: 10774825
    Abstract: A personal air sampling pump assembly includes a motor having a reciprocating piston for operating a diaphragm assembly. The diaphragm includes a valve head including a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet and a fluid chamber defining a fluid path between the inlet and outlet. A first and second diaphragm sealing engaging the valve head and enclosing the fluid chamber. The first diaphragm includes a piston diaphragm membrane portion coupled to the piston for reciprocating with the piston and wherein reciprocation of the piston causes a change in air pressure within the fluid chamber to cause air to move from the fluid inlet toward the fluid outlet. Both the first and second diaphragms include a damper membrane portion, which cooperate to reduce an amplitude of pulsation in the airflow at the fluid inlet and fluid outlet.
