White Knight is a leader in no metal high purity pumps and continues to drive the industry with new technology. Since the inception of White Knight in 1995, we have been awarded over 10 US patents for our designs, with multiple other patents pending! Currently, White Knight produces over 20 size/model combinations of zero metal high purity pumps, far more than any other producer of high purity pumps anywhere.
Recommended Mode of Installation New System Design The following is an attempt to go over some basic physics of White Knight pumps so that care may be taken in the design phase of equipment or applications wherein White Knight pumps are used. Following the principles described in this document will ensure the most practical and reliable installation of White Knight pumps, though it is understood that the ideal mode may not always be possible.

Check valves within White Knight pumps are actuated by gravity and/or flow. Therefore, a pump installed in the upright position would run more efficiently than a pump that was installed in another way. A White Knight (and most other air driven pumps in the high purity chemical industry) will not prime themselves if installed in any way other than upright (within a few degrees).

White Knight Catcher pre pump filters. With the Catcher the screen is large enough to keep from becoming plugged in normal industry conditions. And, when a Catcher is used in conjunction with a White Knight pump, if a solid passes through the Catcher and damages the pumps (very unlikely) White Knight will repair the pump under warranty.

This being the case, care should be taken to keep a record of which pumps (White Knight and most other high purity pump suppliers serial number each pump) have been in which chemistries and then should be used only in the same chemistry to avoid cross contamination.

White Knight pump. The problem is that no two brands or models of pumps have the same displacement per stroke. This means that if upper or lower limits are set in a monitoring system and a different brand or model of pump is installed, that alarms could be immediately thrown.

WARNING: DO NOT LIFT PUMP OUT OF THE BOX USING THE TUBING OR SHUTTLE VALVE. THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE SHUTTLE. The AT100 base plate is designed to be mounted with two 3/8" or two 10mm socket head cap screws spaced 2.000" apart. ...

Leak Detection There are a few different types of leak detection available depending on the model of your pump. Please locate the type of pump and shuttle you have below to determine how to connect the leak detection. Internal Muffler Design (Bottom Mounted) ...

Internal Muffler Design (Face Mounted) External Muffler Design For the external muffler design remove the 2 mufflers located on the sides of the shuttle valve. Next insert the Leak Adapters into the two open ports. The 2 mufflers can now be replaced into the ends of the Leak Adapters.
Page 18
Air Supply Fitting Design The Air supply fitting type like the external muffler design is field retrofittable. For this type of leak detection the air supply elbow (the elbow fitting which is the furthest from the center of the head) should be removed. The “T” fitting should then be screwed into it’s place.

With pumps that are out of warranty White Knight offers four options. 1. Our best recommendation is to return the pump to us at White Knight where the pump will be fully evaluated and you will receive a written quote on rebuilding the pump by White Knight or through our local distributor.
White Knight pumps are designed to pump caustic and otherwise dangerous liquids. Therefore, every pump must be handled as if it contains dangerous chemicals whether or not it actually does. White Knight specifies that if a pump runs under it’s own power that the pump should circulate DI water for twenty minutes before disassembly or double bagging for shipment. If the pump does not run under it’s own power, then DI water should be forced from the inlet, through the outlet for 40 minutes...
All White Knight pump part numbers will begin with the model number (in this case AT100, AP100, or AP100FM). The prefix will then be followed by a series of letters (numbers were used in the previous randomly selected part numbers so letters are used now to avoid confusion).

Screen can be removed and cleaned without disconnection of liquid inlet and outlet lines. If a White Knight pump is damaged from passing a solid while using the Catcher, White Knight will repair the pump at no charge to the customer.
Bubble In – Bubble Out Fiber optic leak detection. Monitors inlet line for bubbles and outlet line for bubbles. If both have bubbles (as in priming or if chemistry is boiling) the monitor does not react. If there are no bubbles in the inlet line, but bubbles are present in the outlet line, a leak is assumed and alarm is sent.
