HOW IT WORKS — PUMP Section 3 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 FIGURE When...

Section 6 Suggested Installation, Operation, Maintenance and Troubleshooting The Model T20 has a 102 mm (4") inlet and 102 mm (4") outlet and is designed and pump damage will not occur. When operation is controlled by a for flows to 1041 lpm (275 gpm). The T20 pump is manufactured with wetted solenoid valve in the air line, a three-way valve should be used.

Suggested Installation, Operation, Maintenance and Troubleshooting NOTE: In the event of a power failure, the shutoff valve should be closed, if the restarting of the pump is not desirable once power is regained. Maintenance and Inspections Air-Operated Pumps: To stop the pump from operating in an emergency situation, simply close the “shut-off”...

Suggested Installation, Operation, Maintenance and Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Pump will not run or runs slowly. 3. Check to make sure all suction connections are air tight, Check air inlet screen and air filter for debris. especially clamp bands around intake balls. Check for sticking air valve, flush air valve in solvent.
Section 7 Disassembly / Reassembly Pump Disassembly 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. The T20 has a 102 mm (4") inlet and 102 mm (4") outlet and is designed for flows up to 300 gpm.

Disassembly / Reassembly Disassembly & Reassembly of Discharge Housing DISASSEMBLY Step 1 Figure 1A Figure 1B Loosen clamp bands between ball pots and discharge tee. Remove the bands while supporting the tee-section. This will allow for inspection of the seals between the ball pots and discharge tee-section (see Figure 1A) as well as inspection of the ball seat found on the bottom side of the ball pot.

Disassembly / Reassembly Reassembly of Pump Body Step 1 With assistance, place the center section housing onto the inlet manifold. Replace clamp bands around the inlet elbows and ball pots and tighten per the torque specification*. Step 2 With assistance, place the discharge assembly onto the discharge elbows. Replace the clamp bands around the discharge elbows and ball pots and tighten per the torque specification*.
Disassembly / Reassembly Air Valve / Center Section Disassembly CENTER BLOCK AIR VALVE BODY The air valve assembly consists of both the air valve body and piston and the center block. The unique design of the air valve relies only on differential pressure to effect the diaphragm shift.
