Disp. Per Stroke................ 1.14 L (0.30 gal)1
Max. Flow Rate ...............424 lpm (112 gpm)
Max. Size Solids .................7.9 mm (5/16”)
1Displacement per stroke was calculated at
4.8 bar (70 psig) air inlet pressure against a
2.1 bar (30 psig) head pressure.
The Efficiency Management System (EMS)
can be used to optimize the performance of
your Wilden pump for specific applications.
The pump is delivered with the EMS adjusted
to setting 4, which allows maximum flow.
The EMS curve allows the pump user to deter-
mine flow and air consumption at each EMS
setting. For any EMS setting and discharge
pressure, the X factor is used as a multiplier
with the original values from the setting 4 per-
formance curve to calculate the actual flow
and air consumption values for that specific
EMS setting. NOTE: You can interpolate be-
tween the setting curves for operation at in-
termediate EMS settings.
EXAMPLE
A PX400 aluminum, rubber-fitted pump operating at EMS setting 4,
achieved a flow rate of 227 lpm (60 gpm) using 100 Nm3/h (59 scfm)
of air when run at 5.4 bar (79 psig) air inlet pressure and 3.4 bar (50
psig) discharge pressure (see dot on performance curve).
The end user did not require that much flow and wanted to reduce
air consumption at his facility. He determined that EMS setting 2
would meet his needs. At 3.4 bar (50 psig) discharge pressure and
EMS setting 2, the flow X factor is 0.63 and the air X factor is 0.52
(see dots on EMS curve).
Multiplying the original setting 4 values by the X factors provides
the setting 2 flow rate tof 143 lpm (38 gpm) and an air consumption
of 52 Nm3/h (31 scfm). The flow rate was reduced by 37% while
the air consumption was reduced by 48%, thus providing increased
efficiency.
For a detailed example for how to set your EMS, see beginning of
performance curve section.
Caution: Do not exceed 8.6 bar (125 psig) air supply pressure.

The pump is delivered with the EMS adjusted

The EMS curve allows the pump user to deter-
mine flow and air consumption at each EMS
setting. For any EMS setting and discharge
pressure, the “X factor” is used as a multi-
plier with the original values from the setting
4 performance curve to calculate the actual
flow and air consumption values for that spe-
cific EMS setting. Note: you can interpolate
between the setting curves for operation at
intermediate EMS settings.

achieved a flow rate of 227 lpm (60 gpm) using 100 Nm3/h (59 scfm)
of air when run at 5.4 bar (79 psig) air inlet pressure and 3.4 bar (50

The end user did not require that much flow and wanted to reduce
air consumption at his facility. He determined that EMS setting 2

EMS setting 2, the flow “X factor” is 0.63 and the air “X factor” is

the setting 2 flow rate of 143 lpm (38 gpm) and an air consumption

the air consumption was reduced by 48%, thus providing increased
