An air driven liquid pump includes a reservoir, a liquid inlet aperture extending
through the reservoir wall for fluid coupling to a liquid inlet duct, a liquid
outlet aperture extending through the reservoir wall for fluid coupling to a liquid
outlet duct. The liquid outlet aperture is in fluid communication with an outlet
level inside the reservoir chamber located below the liquid inlet aperture and
corresponding to a predetermined lower threshold value of the volume of the liquid
within the reservoir chamber. The liquid pump also includes an air aperture extending
through the reservoir wall for pneumatically coupling the reservoir chamber with
the atmospheric air located exteriorly to the reservoir, a liquid inlet valve operationally
coupled to the liquid inlet aperture and an air valve operatively coupled to the
air aperture. A volume responsive first actuating mechanism is provided for selectively
moving the liquid inlet valve to the liquid valve closed configuration and the
air valve to the air valve open configuration upon the volume of liquid within
the reservoir reaching a predetermined upper threshold value. A volume and pressure
responsive second actuating mechanism is provided for selectively moving the liquid
inlet valve to the liquid valve open configuration and the air valve to the air
valve closed configuration upon the volume of liquid within the reservoir reaching
the predetermined lower threshold value and the pressure differential between the
air pressure inside and outside the reservoir reaching a predetermined differential threshold.
