Example: To help you select the correct pump size:

Required pump rate is 4 m3 per hour, required total discharge head 50
metres. The correct selection is DH40, the required air pressure 6.0 bar
and the air consumption is 0.52 Nm3/min.

The indicated pumping rates are based on water.

Extremely rugged construction
reduces downtime to a minimum.
DEPA pumps have been designed in
such a way that all components in
contact with the product can be dis-
assembled and reassembled within a
few minutes. This means that servicing
work is reduced to the absolute mini-
mum.
DEPA air driven diaphragm pumps
have been developed as a modular
system. Consequently, many compo-
nents—some of which are common to
all versions—are mutually compatible
and interchangeable.
This flexible construction allows quick
and simple changing of the internals
for all Type DH models, to fulfil differ-
ent applications.
