THE WILDEN PUMP — HOW IT WORKS 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.
WARNING: Prevention of static sparking — If static sparking occurs, fire or explosion could result. Pump, NOTE: Non lube-free pumps must be lubricated. Wilden valves, and containers must be properly grounded when suggests an arctic 5 weight oil (ISO grade 15). Do not handling flammable fluids and whenever discharge of over-lubricate air supply.
For optimum life and performance, pumps should be specified so that daily operation Caution: Do not exceed 8.6 Bar (125 psig) air parameters will fall in the center of the pump performance curve. supply pressure. WILDEN PUMP & ENGINEERING CO.

SECTION 7A INSTALLATION – T4 PLASTIC AIR-OPERATED PUMPS The Model T4 Plastic pump has a 3.81 cm (1 ⁄ ") inlet and 3.81 performance chart). cm (1 ⁄ ") outlet and is designed for flows to 306.6 lpm (81 gpm).
The pump has reached a “deadhead” siveness of process fluid all affect the parts life of a Wilden situation and can be restarted by reducing the fluid discharge pump.

The second coil option allows for operation with either 12V DC or 24V AC at 60 Hz and the third coil option The speed of the pump is controlled electrically.
