HOW IT WORKS — PUMP Section 3 The Wilden diaphragm pump is an air-operated, placement, 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 FIGURE When...
S U C T I O N L I F T C U R V E S P8 PLASTIC SUCTION - LIFT CAPABILITY Suction-lift curves are calibrated for pumps operating at 305 m (1,000') above sea level. This chart is meant to be a guide only.
Section 6 Suggested Installation, Operation, Maintenance and Troubleshooting The P8 pump has a 51 mm (2") inlet and 51 mm (2") outlet and is designed for flows • Muffler: Sound levels are reduced below OSHA specifications to 587 lpm (155 gpm). The P8 pump is manufactured with wetted parts of pure, using the standard Wilden muffler.

Suggested Installation, Operation, Maintenance and Troubleshooting This illustration is a generic representation of an air-operated double-diaphragm pump. NOTE: In the event of a power failure, the shut-off discharge by partially closing a valve in the discharge line of the pump. This action increases friction loss which reduces flow rate.

Suggested Installation, Operation, Maintenance and Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Pump will not run or runs slowly. 1. Ensure that the air inlet pressure is at least 0.3 bar (5 psig) 3. Check for sticking ball check valves. If material being pumped is above startup pressure and that the differential pressure (the not compatible with pump elastomers, swelling may occur.
