Description
Innovation
● Flow generation without pumping chamber nor valves, with throughput and flow direction being
controlled by a device without any mechanical moving parts,
Results
● The micro device creates a flow without pumping chamber nor valves,
● The flow issues of the movement of a flexible polymer membrane slotted to force the fluid flow
● Oscillations are driven by an electronically controlled micro solenoid.
Benefits :
- Compactness and simplicity hence reliability (no chamber, no moving mechanical parts),
- No friction, low vibration level, low noise,
- No wear nor particles produced by mechanical parts friction,
- Throughput and flow direction by electronic direct control,
- Low production cost,
- Pumps network easily packed in a complex shape and individually controlled,
- Building materials adaptable to the fluid chemistry and viscosity
