EXAMPLE

A PX400 stainless steel, Ultra-Flex-fitted pump operating at EMS  setting 

4, 

achieved 

a 

flow 

rate 

of 

125 

lpm 

(33 

gpm) 

using 

70 

Nm

3

/h 

(41 scfm) of air when run at 4.1 bar (60 psig) air inlet pressure and 2.8  bar (40 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 3 

would meet his needs.  At 2.8 bar (40 psig) discharge pressure and  EMS 

setting 

3, 

the 

flow 

X 

factor 

is 

0.89 

and 

the 

air 

X 

factor 

is 

0.73 

(see dots on EMS curve).  

Multiplying the original setting 4 values by the X factors provides  the setting 3 flow rate of 111 lpm (29 gpm) and an air consumption  of 51 Nm

3

/h (30 scfm).  The flow rate was reduced by 11% while 

the air consumption was reduced by 27%, 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 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: Y

ou can interpolate be

-

tween the setting curves for operation at in

-

termediate EMS settings.

EXAMPLE

A PX400 metal, Ultra-Flex-fitted pump operating at EMS setting 4,  achieved a flow rate of 231 lpm (61 gpm) using 102 Nm

3

/h (60 scfm) 

of air 

when 

run at 4.1 bar 

(60 psig) air inlet pressure and 0.7 bar (10 

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 0.7 bar (10 psig) discharge pressure and  EMS setting 2, the flow “X factor” is 0.81 and the air “X factor” is  0.47 (see dots on EMS curve).  

Multiplying the original setting 4 values by the “X factors” provides  the setting 2 flow rate of 187 lpm (49 gpm) and an air consumption  of 48 Nm

3

/h  (28 scfm).  The flow rate was reduced by 19% while 

the air consumption was reduced by 53%, thus providing increased  efficiency
