Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0418644A1] In the case of a diaphragm pump with a mechanically operated diaphragm and a device for signalling fracture of the diaphragm, in which the diaphragm 2 is clamped at the edges between pump body 3 and pump cover 4 and firmly connected at the centre to a backing plate 5 serving to drive the diaphragm, the design is arranged in such a way that the diaphragm is designed as a multi-layer sandwich diaphragm 2, the individual layers or diaphragm plies of which are clamped together in the edge area between pump body 3 and pump cover 4. The sandwich diaphragm 2 consists of a working diaphragm 18 with at least one diaphragm ply and a protective diaphragm 20 also with at least one diaphragm ply. The latter is designed in such a way that if the working diaphragm 18 is intact it is stressed by the delivery pressure significantly less than the working diaphragm 18. Finally the device for signalling fracture of the diaphragm has at least one duct 22, 25 arranged between the diaphragms 18, 20 and led out to the outside for signalling a fracture of the working diaphragm 18. <IMAGE>
