A drive unit for a diaphragm pump may be provided, wherein the drive unit comprises a hollow body and a piston which is arranged so as to be movable in the first hollow body along an axis of the hollow body, wherein the piston divides the hollow body into a first chamber, which is connectable to the diaphragm pump, and a second chamber, which is coupleable to a gas reservoir. The second chamber comprises an inlet valve and an outlet valve, such that a gas flow is drawn into the chamber via the inlet valve and is forced out of the chamber via the outlet valve.

Cooling of a drive system for diaphragm pumps

A valve for the control of a fluid flow may be provided, the valve including a connection block having a cylinder-symmetrical recess, where at least one first and a second entry channel as well as a first and a second exit channel run out in the peripheral surface of the recess. A control pin, which is fitted into the recess, is rotatable about a rotation axis, having at least two through-channels and connecting different ones of the entry and exit channels of the connection block to one another depending on its angular position. A first through-channel in the pin, with respect to the rotation axis, may exclusively connect channels running out at a first axial height, to one another, and a second through-channel exclusively connecting channels running out at a second axial height, to one another.

Valve, pump system and method for operation of a pump system

A pump cylinder housing has a hollow cylinder and an end-side cover part, a threaded sleeve may be fixed on the outside of the hollow cylinder, at least three radially outward projections are connected to and distributed on the cover part periphery to the cover part and at least partly pass through recesses of the threaded sleeve. A union nut may be screwed onto the threaded sleeve so that the projections project radially out of the threaded sleeve and bear on an end side of the union nut. The cylinder housing may be assembled by in a simple manner so that the cylinder housing and the cover part may be connected to one another in an exactly colinear and centred manner and thereby may be reliably sealed. The cylinder cover may thereby be positioned in an infinite radial position on the cylinder.
