HOW IT WORKS – AIR-OPERATED DOUBLE-DIAPHRAGM PUMP

The Wilden diaphragm pump is an air-operated, positive displacement, self-priming pump. These drawings show flow pattern through the pump
upon its initial stroke. It is assumed the pump has no fluid in it prior to its initial stroke.

area).

HOW IT WORKS – AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

The Pro-Flo® patented air distribution system incorporates two

moving parts: the air valve spool and the pilot spool. The heart of
the system is the air valve spool and air valve. This valve design
incorporates an unbalanced spool. The smaller end of the spool is
pressurized continuously, while the large end is alternately
pressurized then exhausted to move the spool. The spool directs
pressurized air to one air chamber while exhausting the other. The
air causes the main shaft/diaphragm assembly to shift to one side
— discharging liquid on that side and pulling liquid in on the other
side. When the shaft reaches the end of its stroke, the inner piston
actuates the pilot spool, which pressurizes and exhausts the large
end of the air valve spool. The repositioning of the air valve spool
routes the air to the other air chamber

pressure of the air supply to the pump. An air regulator is used to
regulate air pressure. A needle valve is used to regulate volume.
Pump discharge rate also can be controlled by throttling the pump
discharge by partially closing a valve in the discharge line of the
pump. This action increases friction loss, which reduces flow rate.

valve spool to be unable to shift.

Pump runs, but little or no product flows.

1. Check for pump cavitation. Slow pump speed down to allow

thick material to flow into liquid chambers.

2. Verify that vacuum required to lift liquid is not greater than the
vapor pressure of the material being pumped (cavitation).

3. Check for sticking ball check valves.

a. If material being pumped is not compatible with pump

elastomers, swelling may occur. Replace ball check
valves and seals with proper elastomers.

b. Also, as the check valve balls wear out, they become

smaller and can become stuck in the seats. In this case,
replace balls and seats.

REASSEMBLY HINTS AND TIPS

Upon performing applicable maintenance to the air distribution system,
the pump can now be reassembled. Please refer to the disassembly Maximum Torque Specifications
instructions for photos and parts placement. Description Torque
To reassemble the pump, follow the disassembly instructions in Air Valve, Pro-Flo® 3.1 N•m (27 in-lb)
reverse order. The air distribution system needs to be assembled first, Air Inlet, Reducer Bushing 0.9 N•m (8 in-lb)
then the diaphragms and finally the wetted path. The applicable torque
specifications are on this page. Outer Piston — Rubber- and PTFE-fitted 27.1 N•m (20 ft-lb)
Top and Bottom Retainers 14.1 N•m (125 in-lb)
The following tips will assist in the assembly process:
Large Clamp Band — Rubber-fitted 10.7 N•m (95 in-lb)
 Lubricate air valve bore, center section shaft and pilot spool
bore with NLGI grade 2 white EP bearing grease or Large Clamp Band — PTFE-fitted 14.1 N•m (125 in-lb)
equivalent.
 Clean the inside of the center section shaft bore to ensure
no damage is done to new shaft seals.
 A small amount of NLGI grade 2 white EP bearing grease
can be applied to the muffler and air valve gaskets to locate
gaskets during assembly.
 Make sure that the exhaust port on the muffler plate is
centered between the two exhaust ports on the center
section.
 Stainless bolts should be lubed to reduce the possibility of
seizing during tightening.
 Use a mallet to tamp lightly on the large clamp bands to
seat the diaphragm before tightening.

damage to the new seals.
 Needle-Nose Pliers
Installation  Phillips Screwdriver
 Electrical Tape
1. To prevent damaging the inside surface of the new seal, wrap
electrical tape around each leg of the needle-nose pliers. (Heat
shrink tubing may also be used.)

2. With a new seal in hand, place the two legs of the needle-nose Figure A
pliers inside the seal ring. (See Figure A.)

3. Open the pliers as wide as the seal diameter will allow, then with two
fingers pull down on the top portion of the seal to form a kidney bean
shape. (See Figure B.)

4. Lightly clamp the pliers together to hold the seal into the kidney
shape. Be sure to pull the seal into as tight of a kidney shape as
possible. This will allow the seal to travel down the bushing bore
with greater ease.

5. With the seal clamped in the pliers, insert the seal into the busing
bore and position the bottom of the seal into the correct groove.
When the bottom of the seal is seated in the groove, release the
clamp pressure on the pliers. This will allow the seal to partially snap
back to its original shape. Figure B

6. After removing the pliers, you will notice a slight bump in the seal
shape. Before the seal can be resized properly, the bump in the seal
should be removed as much as possible. This can be done with
either a Phillips screwdriver or your finger. With the side of the
screwdriver or your finger, apply light pressure to the peak of the
bump. This pressure will cause the bump to be eliminated almost
completely.

7. Lubricate the edge of the shaft with NLGI grade 2 white EP bearing
grease.

8. Slowly insert the center shaft with a rotating motion. This will
complete the resizing of the seal.

9. Repeat these steps for the remaining seals.
