Energy Savings Device regulates AODD pump operation.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 08:33:05 -0500

Designed to help conserve energy used by air operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps, MizAir® uses fuzzy logic to analyze each stroke of pump and learns its unique characteristics. This electro-pneumatic smart device automatically makes internal adjustments to reduce pump's air consumption, consequently reducing energy required to run pump with little to no effect on its throughput, fluid flow, or flow rate.
