GAST DOA-P704-AA Compressor/vacuum Pump 1/8 Hp 60 Hz 115v

Gast DOA-P704-AA compressor / vacuum pump is ideal for its reliability and adaptability in medical & industrial settings, where precise control of pressure & vacuum is essential. It is used in medical equipment, laboratory instruments, environmental monitoring and industrial machinery.

Working Mechanism:

• This Gast DOA-P704-AA compressor / vacuum pump operates through a diaphragm mechanism.
• In compressor mode, it draws in air, compressing it as the diaphragm moves up and down, raising air pressure.
• For vacuum mode, it reverses the process, expanding and contracting the diaphragm to create a vacuum, reducing pressure within the pump.
• An electric motor powers this diaphragm movement, enabling the pump to switch between compressing air and generating a vacuum, making it versatile for applications.

Features:

• It has a compressor diaphragm to create the compression or vacuum needed for applications.
• This DOA-P704-AA vacuum pump comes with an NPT inlet & outlet connection for connecting pipes and fittings in industrial applications.
• It can generate a maximum continuous pressure of 60 psi and deliver a maximum flow rate of 1.9 cfm at 0 psi, ensuring efficient performance.
• This Gast DOA-P704-AA compressor / vacuum pump is designed for use in environments with a sound level of 70 dBA, ensuring a reasonable noise level during operation.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How does this pump switch between compressor and vacuum modes?
