Tech/Engineering - Patents / Diaphragm pumps
German term or phrase: von seitlich außen
Eine einstückige Einheit aus eigentlich zwei Fördermembranen is ebenfalls möglich. Es liegt also quasi eine gemeinsame, einzige Begrenzungswand vor, die zur axialen Begrenzung der beiden Pumpkammern dient. Die Betätigung dieser Einheit kann ebenfalls **von seitlich außen** erfolgen.
