Summary:Diaphragm pumps driven by electric motors are used in agricultural spraying systems. By varying the voltage supplied to these motors, variable motor speeds and pump flowrates may be obtained A procedure was developed for finding the flow-pressure-voltage relationship of these pumps. Experiments with two pumps show that the flow can be modeled as linearly increasing with voltage and linearly decreasing with pressure
