Airlift Pump

An airlift pump is a type of pump that uses compressed air to lift or move fluids. It falls under the supply class of Power And Hand Pumps in the supply group Pumps And Compressors.

Airlift pumps work on the principle of using the buoyancy of compressed air to lift a fluid. They consist of a vertical pipe or tube that is submerged in the fluid to be pumped. Compressed air is injected into the bottom of the pipe, creating bubbles that rise to the top. As the bubbles rise, they carry the fluid with them, creating a flow of fluid up the pipe.

Airlift pumps are commonly used in applications where other types of pumps may not be suitable, such as in situations where the fluid being pumped contains solids or abrasive materials. They are also used in situations where a continuous flow of fluid is required, as they can operate without the need for moving parts or mechanical seals.

Overall, airlift pumps are a versatile and efficient option for pumping fluids, particularly in situations where other types of pumps may not be suitable.
