IntroductionWilden's Pro-Flo X™ Air Distribution System (ADS) has been recognized with Plant Engineering's Product of the Year award. This system, featuring the Efficiency Management System (EMS™) technology, provides unprecedented operational flexibility and efficiency for
pump users.
Features & Benefits- Available in all metal construction sizes from 13mm (1/2”) to 76mm (3”).
- Polypropylene options available in 38mm (1-1/2”) and 51mm (2”).
- Includes EMS for enhanced efficiency management.
- Groundable and ATEX compliant for safety.
- Superior anti-freezing capabilities and flow rates.
- Lube-free operation for ease of maintenance.
- Longest Mean Time Between Repair (M.T.B.R.) for reliability.
- Offers superior cost of ownership and efficiency.
Testing Conditions
All tests were conducted using water at 305 meters (1,000 feet) above sea level with a 0.3 meter (1 foot) suction lift on the pump inlet. Metal wetted path and ADS were used, with measurements taken using a thermal mass air flow meter and a calibrated load cell for fluid measurement.
Competitive Testing Results- For 51mm (2”) pumps, Wilden PX8 showed significant SCFM savings compared to competitors ARO® and Warren Rupp®.
- At EMS setting 2.0, Wilden achieved 53 gpm at 28.1 SCFM, saving 16% SCFM compared to ARO®.
- At EMS setting 2.8, Wilden achieved 72 gpm at 39.5 SCFM, saving 33% SCFM compared to Warren Rupp®.
- For higher flow rates, Wilden PX8 at EMS setting 3.3 achieved 160 gpm at 94.0 SCFM, saving 22% SCFM compared to ARO®.
- At EMS setting 2.5, Wilden achieved 131 gpm at 63.3 SCFM, saving 55% SCFM compared to Warren Rupp®.
ConclusionThe Pro-Flo X™ ADS by Wilden is the world's first energy-conscious Air-Operated Double-
Diaphragm Pump (AODDP), offering significant efficiency improvements and cost savings over competitors.
