The amount of compressed air consumed by an air-operated diaphragm pump is certainly important. However, true efficiency cannot be measured solely by the air consumption values shown on a performance curve. Durability, ease of maintenance, spare parts costs, service time, and the pump's total cost of ownership are just as important as air consumption. In this article, we explore why efficiency in air-operated diaphragm pumps should be evaluated beyond air consumption alone.
