Diaphragm Pumps meet CSA requirements.

Press Release Summary:




Powered by natural gas, Diaphragm Pumps feature ice- and stall-free design with bolted, all-metal construction for leak-tight integrity, delivering max material flow up to 133 lpm. By utilizing unbalanced valves, pumps create optimal pressure differential, ensuring that valves do not center and stall pump, even under low gas inlet pressures. Lube-free pumps are suited for fluid handling operations in remote locations where compressed natural gas is available.

Ingersoll Rand / ARO Releases Natural Gas-Operated Diaphragm Pumps



Annandale, NJ - September 19, 2007 - Ingersoll Rand / ARO, a global leader in fluid technology, has released three new models of natural gas-powered diaphragm pumps. The new pumps meet requirements designated by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA 2.01), an internationally recognized agency for testing and certification of equipment powered by compressed natural gas.

Ideal for fluid handling operations in remote locations where compressed natural gas is an available energy source, these natural-gas powered pumps are optimal for pre-lube start-up and post-lube shut-down processes for large engines that drive gas compression units and power generation units.

"Ingersoll Rand / ARO is committed to providing industry-leading reliability and safety to our customers in the oil and gas industry," Oakley Roberts, global marketing manager at Ingersoll Rand. "Our new CSA-conforming diaphragm pumps include our proven valve and pump technology, an integrated grounding strap, ported exhaust and a robust, leak-tight pump design."

The new pumps feature the same ice- and stall-free design as their air-powered counterparts. The pumps' major valves generate strong, positive shift signals and effectively manage gas pressure. By utilizing "unbalanced" valves, the CSA-certified pumps create an optimal pressure differential, ensuring that valves do not center and stall the pump, even under low gas inlet pressures.

The new diaphragm pumps also feature a bolted, all-metal construction for leak-tight integrity and structural strength, delivering a maximum material flow up to 133 lpm. The pumps are lube-free and come with a five-year warranty.
