CAUTION: When choosing pump materials, be sure
to check the temperature limits for all wetted components. Example: Viton
(350°F) but polypropylene has a maximum limit of only
79°C (175°F).
CAUTION: Maximum temperature limits are based
upon mechanical stress only. Certain chemicals will
significantly reduce maximum safe operating temperatures. Consult engineering guide for chemical compatibility and temperature limits.
CAUTION: Always wear safety glasses when operating pump. If diaphragm rupture occurs, material being
pumped may be forced out air exhaust.
WARNING: Prevention of static sparking — If static
sparking occurs, fire or explosion could result. Pump,
valves, and containers must be properly grounded when
handling flammable fluids and whenever discharge of
static electricity is a hazard.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 8.6 bar (125 psig) air supply
pressure.
CAUTION: Before any maintenance or repair is
attempted, the compressed air line to the pump should
be disconnected and all air pressure allowed to bleed
from pump. Disconnect all intake, discharge and air
lines. Drain the pump by turning it upside down and
allowing any fluid to flow into a suitable container.
®
has a maximum limit of 176.7°C
CAUTION: Blow out air line for 10 to 20 seconds
before attaching to pump to make sure all pipe line
debris is clear. Use an in-line air filter. A 5µ (micron) air
filter is recommended.
NOTE: When installing PTFE diaphragms, it is important to tighten outer pistons simultaneously (turning in
opposite directions) to ensure tight fit.
NOTE: Tighten clamp bands and retainers prior to
installation. Fittings may loosen during transportation.
NOTE: Before starting disassembly, mark a line from
each liquid chamber to its corresponding air chamber.
This line will assist in proper alignment during reassembly.
CAUTION: Verify the chemical compatibility of the
process and cleaning fluid to the pump’s component
materials in the Chemical Resistance Guide (see E4).
NOTE: Pastic series pumps are made of virgin plastic
and are not UV stabilized. Direct sunlight for prolonged
periods can cause deterioration of plastics.
CAUTION: When removing the end cap using
compressed air, the air valve end cap may come out
with considerable force. Hand protection such as a
padded glove or rag should be used to capture the
end cap.
CAUTION: Only explosion proof (NEMA 7) solenoid
valves should be used in areas where explosion proof
equipment is required.
NOTE: Non lube-free pumps must be lubricated.
Wilden suggests an arctic ISO grade 15 (5 weight oil).
Do not over-lubricate air supply. Over-lubrication will
reduce pump performance.

The Wilden diaphragm pump is an air-operated, positive displacement, self-priming pump. These drawings show the flow
pattern through the pump upon its initial stroke. It is assumed the pump has no fluid in it prior to its initial stroke.

FIGURE 1 The air valve directs pressurized air to the back side of diaphragm
A. The compressed air is applied directly
to the liquid column separated by elastomeric diaphragms. The diaphragm
acts as a separation membrane between
the compressed air and liquid, balancing the load and removing mechanical stress from the diaphragm. The
compressed air moves the diaphragm
away from the center block of the pump.
The opposite diaphragm is pulled in by
the shaft connected to the pressurized diaphragm. Diaphragm B is on its
suction stroke; air behind the diaphragm
has been forced out to the atmosphere
through the exhaust port of the pump.
The movement of diaphragm B toward
the center block of the pump creates a
vacuum within chamber B. Atmospheric
pressure forces fluid into the inlet manifold forcing the inlet valve ball off its
seat. Liquid is free to move past the inlet
valve ball and fill the liquid chamber (see
shaded area).

FIGURE 2 When the pressurized
diaphragm, diaphragm A, reaches the
limit of its discharge stroke, the air valve
redirects pressurized air to the back
side of diaphragm B. The pressurized
air forces diaphragm B away from the
center block while pulling diaphragm A
to the center block. Diaphragm B is now
on its discharge stroke. Diaphragm B
forces the inlet valve ball onto its seat
due to the hydraulic forces developed
in the liquid chamber and manifold of
the pump. These same hydraulic forces
lift the discharge valve ball off its seat,
while the opposite discharge valve ball is
forced onto its seat, forcing fluid to flow
through the pump discharge. The movement of diaphragm A toward the center
block of the pump creates a vacuum
within liquid chamber A. Atmospheric
pressure forces fluid into the inlet manifold of the pump. The inlet valve ball
is forced off its seat allowing the fluid
being pumped to fill the liquid chamber.

FIGURE 3 At completion of the stroke,
the air valve again redirects air to the
back side of diaphragm A, which starts
diaphragm B on its exhaust stroke. As
the pump reaches its original starting
point, each diaphragm has gone through
one exhaust and one discharge stroke.
This constitutes one complete pumping cycle. The pump may take several
cycles to completely prime depending
on the conditions of the application.

Flow curves are for “optimal speed” conditions only. The “optimal speed” is that speed which
provides the maximum flow under a particular air and fluid pressure condition. The optimal speed
varies for different fluid and air pressures. Recommendations for optimal speed can be found on
the right side of the flow curve.
Flow rates indicated on chart were determined by pumping water.
For optimum life and performance, pumps should be specified so that daily operation parameters
will fall in the center of the pump performance curve.
Note: TPE suction lift is approximately half that of rubber-fitted.
