The Pro-Flo X™ air distribution system with the

revolutionary Efficiency Management System (EMS)

offers flexibility never before seen in the world of

AODD pumps. The

patent-pending EMS

is simple and easy

to use. With the

turn of an integrated

control dial, the operator can select the optimal

balance of flow and efficiency that best meets the

application needs. Pro-Flo X™ provides higher

performance, lower

operational costs

and flexibility that

exceeds previous

industry standards.

Pro-Flo XTM Operating Principal

Turning the dial changes the relationship between air inlet and exhaust porting.

Each dial setting represents an entirely different flow curve

Pro-Flo X™ pumps are shipped from the factory on setting 4, which is the highest flow rate setting possible

Moving the dial from setting 4 causes a decrease in flow and an even greater decrease in air consumption.

When the air consumption decreases more than the flow rate, efficiency is improved and operating costs are reduced.

This is an example showing how to determine flow rate and air consumption for your Pro-Flo X™ pump using the Efficien-cy Management System (EMS) curve and the performance curve. For this example we will be using 4.1 bar (60 psig) inlet air pressure and 2.8 bar (40 psig) discharge pressure and EMS setting 2.

Step 1: Identifying performance at setting 4. Locate the curve that represents the flow rate of the pump with 4.1 bar (60 psig) air inlet pressure. Mark the point where this curve crosses the horizontal line representing 2.8 bar (40 psig) discharge pressure. (Figure 1). After locating your performance point on the flow curve, draw a vertical line downward until reaching the bottom scale on the chart. Identify the flow rate (in this case, 8.2 gpm). Observe location of performance point relative to air consump-tion curves and approximate air consumption value (in this case, 9.8 scfm).

Step 2: Determining flow and air X Factors. Locate your discharge pressure (40 psig) on the verti-cal axis of the EMS curve (Figure 2). Follow along the 2.8 bar (40 psig) horizontal line until intersecting both flow and air curves for your desired EMS setting (in this case, setting 2). Mark the points where the EMS curves inter-sect the horizontal discharge pressure line. After locating your EMS points on the EMS

curve, draw vertical lines downward until reaching the bottom scale on the chart. This identifies the flow X Factor (in this case, 0.58) and air X Factor (in this case, 0.48).

Step 3: Calculating performance for specific EMS setting. Multiply the flow rate (8.2 gpm) obtained in Step 1 by the flow X Factor multi-plier (0.58) in Step 2 to determine the flow rate at EMS setting 2. Multiply the air consump-tion (9.8 scfm) obtained in Step 1 by the air X Factor multiplier (0.48) in Step 2 to deter-mine the air consumption at EMS setting 2 (Figure 3).

Figure 3

The flow rate and air consumption at Setting 2 are found to be 18.2 lpm (4.8 gpm) and 7.9 Nm3/h (4.7 scfm) respectively.

EMs CuRvEsETTiNg 4 PERFORMANCE CuRvE

This is an example showing how to determine the inlet air pressure and the EMS setting for your Pro-Flo X™ pump to optimize the pump for a specific application. For this exam-ple we will be using an application requirement of 18.9 lpm (5 gpm) flow rate against 2.8 bar (40 psig) discharge pressure. This example will illustrate how to calculate the air consump-tion that could be expected at this operational point.

Step 1: Establish inlet air pressure. Higher air pres-sures will typically allow the pump to run more efficiently, however, available plant air pressure can vary greatly. If an operating pressure of 6.9 bar (100 psig) is chosen when plant air frequently dips to 6.2 bar (90 psig) pump performance will vary. Choose an oper-ating pressure that is within your compressed air system's capabilities. For this example we will choose 4.1 bar (60 psig).

Step 2: Determine performance point at setting 4. For this example an inlet air pressure of 4.1 bar (60 psig) inlet air pressure has been chosen. Locate the curve that represents the perfor-mance of the pump with 4.1 bar (60 psig) inlet air pressure. Mark the point where this curve crosses the horizontal line representing 2.8 bar (40 psig) discharge pressure. After locat-ing this point on the flow curve, draw a verti-cal line downward until reaching the bottom scale on the chart and identify the flow rate.

In our example it is 38.6 lpm (10.2 gpm). This is the setting 4 flow rate. Observe the loca-tion of the performance point relative to air consumption curves and approximate air consumption value. In our example setting 4 air consumption is 24 Nm3/h (14 scfm). See figure 4.

Step 3: Determine flow X Factor. Divide the required flow rate 18.9 lpm (5 gpm) by the setting 4 flow rate 38.6 lpm (10.2 gpm) to determine the flow X Factor for the application.

Step 4: Determine EMS setting from the flow X Factor. Plot the point representing the flow X Factor (0.49) and the application discharge pressure 2.8 bar (40 psig) on the EMS curve. This is done by following the horizontal 2.8 bar (40 psig) psig discharge pressure line until it crosses the vertical 0.49 X Factor line. Typi-cally, this point lies between two flow EMS setting curves (in this case, the point lies be-tween the flow curves for EMS setting 1 and 2). Observe the location of the point relative to the two curves it lies between and approxi-mate the EMS setting (figure 5). For more pre-cise results you can mathematically interpo-late between the two curves to determine the optimal EMS setting.

5 gpm / 10.2 gpm = 0.49 (flow X Factor)

DETERMiNE EMs sETTiNg

For this example the EMS setting is 1.8.

EMs CuRvEsETTiNg 4 PERFORMANCE CuRvE

Example 2.2

Determine air consumption at a specific EMs setting.

Step 1: Determine air X Factor. In order to determine the air X Factor, identify the two air EMS set-ting curves closest to the EMS setting estab-lished in example 2.1 (in this case, the point lies between the air curves for EMS setting 1 and 2). The point representing your EMS setting (1.8) must be approximated and plotted on the EMS curve along the horizontal line represent-ing your discharge pressure (in this case, 40 psig). This air point is different than the flow point plotted in example 2.1. After estimating (or interpolating) this point on the curve, draw a vertical line downward until reaching the bottom scale on the chart and identify the air X Factor (figure 7).

Step 2: Determine air consumption. Multiply your setting 4 air consumption (14 scfm) value by the air X Factor obtained above (0.40) to deter-mine your actual air consumption.

In summary, for an application requiring 18.9 lpm (5 gpm) against 2.8 bar (40 psig) discharge pressure, the pump inlet air pressure should be set to 4.1 bar (60 psig) and the EMS dial should be set to 1.8. The pump would then consume 9.5 Nm3/h (5.6 scfm) of compressed air.

Suction lift curves are calibrated for pumps operating at 305 m (1,000') above sea level. This chart is meant to be a guide only. There are many variables which can affect your pump’s operating characteristics. The

number of intake and discharge elbows, viscosity of pumping fluid, elevation (atmospheric pressure) and pipe friction loss all affect the amount of suction lift your pump will attain.
