NOTE: Not all materials are available for all
models. Refer to Section 2 for material options
for your pump.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 82°C (180°F) air inlet
temperature for Pro-Flo X™ models.
CAUTION: Pumps should be thoroughly fl ushed
before installing into process lines. FDA and
USDA approved pumps should be cleaned and/
or sanitized before being used.
CAUTION: Always wear safety glasses when
operating pump. If diaphragm rupture occurs,
material being pumped may be forced out air
exhaust.
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 fl uid
to fl ow into a suitable container.
CAUTION: Blow out air line for 10 to 20 seconds
before attaching to pump to make sure all pipeline
debris is clear. Use an in-line air fi lter. A 5µ (micron)
air fi lter is recommended.
CAUTION: When choosing pump materials, be
sure to check the temperature limits for all wetted
components. Example: Viton® has a maximum
limit of 176.7°C (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 signifi cantly reduce maximum
safe operating temperatures. Consult Chemical
Resistance Guide (E4) for chemical compatibility
and temperature limits.
WARNING : Prevention of static sparking — If
static sparking occurs, fi re or explosion could
result. Pump, valves, and containers must be
grounded to a proper grounding point when
handling fl ammable fl uids and whenever
discharge of static electricity is a hazard.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 8.6 bar (125 psig) air
supply pressure.
CAUTION: The process fl uid and cleaning fl uids
must be chemically compatible with all wetted
pump components. Consult Chemical Resistance
Guide (E4).
NOTE: When installing PTFE diaphragms, it is
important to tighten outer pistons simultaneously
(t urning in opposite directions) to ens ure tigh t fi t.
(See torque specifi cations in Section 7.)
NOTE: Cast Iron PTFE-fi tted pumps come
standard from the factory with expanded PTFE
gaskets installed in the diaphragm bead of the
liquid chamber. PTFE gaskets cannot be re-used.
Consult PS-TG for installation instructions during
reassembly.
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: Pro-Flo® pumps cannot be used in
submersible applications. Pro-Flo X™ is available
in both sub mersible and n on-subm ersible options.
Do not use non-submersible Pro-Flo X™ models
in submersible applications. Turbo-Flo™ pumps
can also be used in submersible applications.
CAUTION: Tighten all hardware prior to installation.

HOW IT WORKS—PUMP
The Wilden diaphragm pump is an air-operated, positive displacement, self-priming pump. These drawings show fl ow pattern
through the pump upon its initial stroke. It is assumed the pump has no fl uid in it prior to its initial stroke.
FIGURE 1 The air valve dir ects pre ssurized
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 bet ween 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 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 atmosphere through the exhaust
port of the pump. The movement of
diaphragm B toward the center of the
pump creates a vacuum within chamber B.
Atmospheric pressure forces fl uid into
the inlet manifold forcing the inlet valve
ball off its seat. Liquid is free to move
past the inlet valve ball and fi ll the liquid
chamber (see shaded area).
HOW IT WORKS—AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
FIGURE 2 When the pressurized diaphragm,
diaphra gm A, re aches t he limit of it s disc harge
stroke, the air valve redirects pressurized
air to the back side of diaphragm B. The
pressurized air forces diaphragm B away
from the center while pulling diaphragm A
to the center. 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 fl uid to fl ow through the pump
discharge. The movement of diaphragm A
toward the center of the pump creates a
vacuum within liquid chamber A. Atmospheric pressure forces fl uid into the inlet
manifold of the pump. The inlet valve ball
is forced off its seat allowing the fl uid being
pumped to fi ll 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 star ting
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.
The Pro -Flo
moving parts: the air valve spool and the pilot spool. The heart of
the system is the air valve spool and air valve. This valve design
incorporates an unbalanced spool. The smaller end of the spool
is pressurized continuously, while the large end is alternately
pressurized then exhausted to move the spool. The spool directs
pressurized air to one air chamber while exhausting the other.
The air causes the main shaft/ diaphragm assembly to shift to
one side — discharging liquid on that side and pulling liquid in
on the other side. When the shaf t reaches the end of its stroke,
the inner piston actuates the pilot spool, which pressurizes and
exhausts the large end of the air valve spool. The repositioning
of the air valve spool routes the air to the other air chamber.

air pressure and 2.8 bar (40 psig) discharge pressure and EMS
setting 2.
Step 1:
Identifying performance at setting 4. Locate
the curve that represents the fl ow rate of the
pump with 4.1 bar (60 psig) air inlet pressure.
Mark the point where this curve crosses the
horizontal line representing 2.8 bar (40 psig)
discharge pressure. (Figure 1). After locating
your performance point on the fl ow curve,
draw a vertical line downward until reaching
the bottom scale on the chart. Identify the fl ow
rate (in this case, 8.2 gpm). Observe location
of performance point relative to air consumption curves and approximate air consumption
value (in this case, 9.8 scfm).

Calculating performance for specific EMS
setting. Multiply the fl ow rate (8.2 gpm)
obtained in Step 1 by the fl ow X Factor multiplier (0.58) in Step 2 to determine the fl ow rate
at EMS setting 2. Multiply the air consumption (9.8 scfm) obtained in Step 1 by the air

This is an example showing how to determine the inlet air

This example will illustrate how to calculate the air consumption that could be expected at this operational point.

DETERMINE EMS SETTING
Step 1
: Establish inlet air pressure. Higher air pres-
sures will typically allow the pump to run
more effi ciently, however, available plant air
pressure can vary greatly. If an operating
pressure of 6.9 bar (100 psig) is chosen when

In our example it is 38.6 lpm (10.2 gpm). This
is the setting 4 fl ow rate. Observe the location of the performance point relative to air
consumption curves and approximate air
consumption value. In our example setting
4 air consumption is 24 Nm3/h (14 scfm).
See fi gure 4.
Step 3
: Determine flow X Factor. Divide the required
fl ow rate 18.9 lpm (5 gpm) by the setting 4 fl ow
rate 38.6 lpm (10.2 gpm) to determine the fl ow
X Factor for the application.
5
gpm / 10.2 gpm = 0.49 (flow X Factor)
plant air frequently dips to 6.2 bar (90 psig)
Step 4
pump performance will vary. Choose an operating pressure that is within your compressed
air system's capabilities. For this example we
will choose 4.1 bar (60 psig).
: Determine EMS setting from the flow
X Factor. Plot the point representing the fl ow
X Factor (0.49) and the application discharge
pressure 2.8 bar (40 psig) on the EMS curve.
This is done by following the horizontal 2.8
Step 2
: Determine performance point at setting 4. For
this example an inlet air pressure of 4.1 bar
(60 psig) inlet air pressure has been chosen.
Locate the curve that represents the performance of the pump with 4.1 bar (60 psig) inlet
air pressure. Mark the point where this curve
crosses the horizontal line representing 2.8
bar (40 psig) discharge pressure. After locating this point on the fl ow curve, draw a vertical line downward until reaching the bottom
scale on the chart and identify the fl ow rate.

it crosses the vertical 0.49 X Factor line. Typically, this point lies between two fl ow EMS
setting curves (in this case, the point lies between the fl ow curves for EMS setting 1 and
2). Observe the location of the point relative
to the two curves it lies between and approximate the EMS setting (fi gure 5). For more precise results you can mathematically interpolate between the two curves to determine the
optimal EMS setting.
For this example the EMS setting is 1.8.

Determine air consumption at a specific
EMS setting.
Step 1
: Determine air X Factor. In order to determine
the air X Factor, identify the two air EMS setting curves closest to the EMS setting established in example 2.1 (in this case, the point lies
between the air curves for EMS setting 1 and
2). The point representing your EMS setting
(1.8) must be approximated and plotted on the
EMS curve along the horizontal line representing your discharge pressure (in this case, 40
psig). This air point is different than the fl ow
point plotted in example 2.1. After estimating
(or interpolating) this point on the curve, draw
a vertical line downward until reaching the
bottom scale on the chart and identify the air
X Factor (fi gure 7).
For this example the air X Factor is 0.40
Step 2
: Determine air consumption. Multiply your
setting 4 air consumption (14 scfm) value by
the air X Factor obtained above (0.40) to determine your actual air consumption.

4 scfm x 0.40 = 5.6 SCFM
In summary, for an application requiring 18.9 lpm
(5 gpm) against 2.8 bar (40 psig) discharge pressure,
the pump inlet air pressure should be set to 4.1 bar
(60 psig) and the EMS dial should be set to 1.8. The
pump would then consume 9.5 Nm3/h (5.6 scfm) of
compressed air.

of air when run at 4.1 bar (60 psig) air inlet pressure and 1.4 bar (20
psig) discharge pressure (See dot on performance curve).
The end user did not require that much fl ow and wanted to reduce
air consumption at his facility. He determined that EMS setting 2
would meet his needs. At 1.4 bar (20 psig) discharge pressure and
EMS setting 2, the fl ow “X factor” is 0.72 and the air “X factor” is
0.53 (see dots on EMS curve).
Multiplying the original setting 4 values by the “X factors” provides
the setting 2 fl ow rate of 425 lpm (112 gpm) and an air consumption
EXAMPLE
A PX15 aluminum, Rubber-fi tted pump operating at EMS setting 4,
achieved a fl ow rate of 591 lpm (156 gpm) using 153 Nm
of 72 Nm
the air consumption was reduced by 53%, thus providing increased
effi ciency.
For a detailed example for how to set your EMS, see beginning of
performance curve section.
Caution: Do not exceed 8.6 bar (125 psig) air supply pressure.
The Effi ciency Management System (EMS)
can be used to optimize the performance of
your Wilden pump for specifi c applications.
The pump is delivered with the EMS adjusted
to setting 4, which allows maximum fl ow.
The EMS curve allows the pump user to deter-
mine fl ow and air consumption at each EMS
setting. For any EMS setting and discharge
pressure, the “X factor” is used as a multi-
plier with the original values from the setting
4 performance curve to calculate the actual
fl ow and air consumption values for that spe-
cifi c EMS setting. Note: you can interpolate
between the setting curves for operation at
intermediate EMS settings.
