▶ Flow Characteristics | | ▶ Reduction of Flow Pulsation | <Example of Combination with Piezoelectric Micro Pump> Piezoelectric micro pumps are small-sized, lightweight and slim diaphragm micro pumps driven by piezoelectric element. By considerably reducing the drive frequency and the drive voltage from the standard operating ranges, a piezoelectric micro pump alone can transfer μl/min level flows. However, significant pulsation is created at a low flow rate as represented by the blue line in the graph below. By incorporating a micro needle valve on the discharging side of a piezoelectric micro pump, a low flow rate with almost no pulsation can be achieved. The red line on the graph below is an example that shows this remarkable reduction in pulsation. Pulsation can also be reduced when combined with other kinds of pumps, such as peristaltic pumps. Note: The actual effect may change depending on the flow rates, pumps, types of tubing, etc. Please consult with us for more details. | | ▶ Low Pulsation Micro Pump Module | |
