2016: Graco introduces world’s first EODD that will stall against pressure with benefit of integrated pulsation control
PROS
Functions the same as AODD
• Self priming
• Runs dry
• Stalls against pressure
High flow rates
Extremely Versatile
• More flexibility than other electric technology
Easy to service
Environmentally friendly
• 5x – 8x more efficient than AODD
• AODD less than 20% efficient
o Closer to 10% when line losses are considered
CONS
High Cost
• 1” pump: $5,000
• Does not include control
Large footprint
Heavy
Energy efficiency not ideal
• 65% efficient or less
o Regardless of motor rating
o This is primarily due to gearbox inefficiency
Fall 2022 Graco will introduce world’s first plug-and-play EODD that integrates linear drive and control while eliminating gearbox:
QUANTM® pump with FluxCore™ Technology
PROS
Same PROS as current EODD
• Matches AODD features and benefits
Lighter weight
• Average weight: 50lbs.
Smaller footprint
• Essentially the same as AODD
Built-in controls
• Integrated I/O
• Troubleshooting capacity
• Easy functionality
o Simple potentiometer control
Easy serviceability
• Minimal service parts
Highly efficient
• 8x – 10x more efficient than AODD
• 50% more efficient than comparable electric technology
o Due to lack of gearbox
No air charge to center section required
• Only requires one utility
• Minimizes complexity
Elimination of motor/gearbox/gearmotor
LESS EXPENSIVE!
CONS
Horsepower and torque limitations
• Size considerations
o Drive must fit between diaphragm covers
• Flow limitations
Size limitations
• No FluxCore drive for 3” EODD
o Coming 2023
Graco - Quantm
FluxCore™ Transverse Flux Motor (huh?)
At the core of our unique design is an inner ring of copper. We’ve replaced the “rat’s nest” of copper wiring with a simple, low-resistance circular coil.
Conventional motors feature copper wrapped around steel. Our steel stator is wrapped around the outside of the low-resistance copper coil.
Torque is optimized by increasing the number electromagnetic poles; we’ve, literally, decoupled the relationship between pole count (torque) and resistance (losses).
Graco Quantm - FluxCore™ (Cont’d)
What this all means is: Graco FluxCore, motors provide up to 8x more continuous torque at low speeds than conventional motors. Which increases torque and power density while minimizing size and resistance losses.

Graco Quantm - Energy Conservation
Pneumatic vs. Electric Diaphragm Pump Systems
2” pneumatic diaphragm pump consumes $5,700 worth of electricity annually
• At $0.12/kWhr
• Operating 8 hours/day, five days per week
Typical pneumatic pump is less than 20% efficient
• Accounting for compressor efficiency, losses due to leaks, and amount of compressed air a pneumatic pump actually consumes to displace fluid
* few, if any, end users understand how much energy pneumatic pumps are consuming
~ 50% more than comparable AODD
~ 50% more than comparable AODD
