PFH140 Performance

How to Read Charts
Draw a horizontal line at your discharge pressure and a vertical line at the desired flow rate. At line intersect, estimate required air pressure, resultant cycle rate and air consumption.

Example
At 2 Bar (30 psi) discharge pressure and 60 psi supply pressure, PFH140 pumps provide 80 lpm (21.2 gpm) flow rate. They would cycle at ~186 CPM and exhaust 24.5 SCFM of air.

• Graph is for reference only. Performance was measured utilizing 1/2 in (3/8 in ID) air line and 1-1/4 in (1-1/8 in ID) liquid lines with 1 ft flooded suction. Performance may vary in your system.

Installation

Precautions

Handling
Do NOT lift the pump by fibre optic cables, quick exhaust valves or air tubing.

Installation Orientation
PFH140 pumps must be installed in an upright position. The check valves are actuated by gravity and/or flow, and they will not seat if the pump is not upright.

Timer Mode
PFH140 pumps require an end of stroke detection mechanism (pressure switch)
to prevent over-stroking in timer mode. Operating a PFH140 in timer mode without stroke detection will void the pump warranty.

Required Air Flow (Shuttle Valve)
PFH140 pumps require 3/8 in minimum orifice with unrestricted airflow.

Required Air Flow (Solenoid Valve)
PFH140 pumps require a 3 Cv solenoid. Using a reduced Cv will reduce flow rates. Using a valve with more than 20% greater Cv will change operating parameters, reduce pump life and void the warranty.

Under Supply of Air
PFH140 pumps operate erratically or stall when air supply is insufficient. Ensure use of air supply pressures higher than averaged air consumption lines in performance charts. Air supply lines and fittings must meet minimal inner diameter requirements
shown in the installation instructions.

Air Supply Pressure
Operating PFH140 pumps ~35% below max air pressure may significantly extend pump life. PFH140 pumps require 20 psi minimum air pressure. Operation above 5.5 Bar (80 psi) may damage the pump and void the warranty.

Suction Lift
PFH140 pumps have an initial suction lift capacity of 3 ft. For best results minimize suction lift.

Liquid Inlet/Outlet Connections
PFH140 liquid ports are not NPT nor any other standard. The use of connectors other than those supplied by White Knight will damage the pump and void the warranty.

Liquid Line Restriction
PFH140 pumps may be controlled by closing liquid outlet lines. However, restricting liquid supply lines increases wear and should be avoided. Do NOT pump against a closed liquid inlet. It will damage the pump and void the warranty.

Running Dry

PFH140 pumps use the pumped liquid to lubricate their shafts. The pumps will cycle faster and wear more than normal when run dry, which may cause damage and loss of self-prime abilities. PFH140 pumps should not be run dry after start-up and are not warranted under dry run conditions.

Pulse Dampener with Shuttle Valve
Air supply pressure to PFH140 pumps should be at least ten psi higher than the liquid line pressure when using a pulsation dampener. Failure to do so may cause erratic operation.

Cross Contamination
PFH140 pumps use porous material that may retain chemicals. Take precautions to avoid cross-contamination.

Warnings

Pressurized Material
Pumps in use contain pressurized materials. Eliminate liquid and air pressure via shut-off valves before the pump is serviced or removed from the system.

High Temperature
Heat may transfer to exterior surfaces when pumps operate with high- temperature fluids. Avoid direct contact with the pump when high-temperature fluids are present.

Hazardous Chemical
Use appropriate personal protective equipment when handling the pump. Reference Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for information specific to your chemicals.

Loud Noise
Pump exhaust air contributes to work area noise levels. Only operate pumps with approved muffler media, and use ear protection in noisy conditions.

Advantages

Head Pressure / Dead-Head
PFH140 pumps can be controlled by adjusting their liquid outlet pressures and can be installed with head pressures up to dead-head (e.g. equal liquid and air pressures) with no damage to the pump.

Thermal Cycling
PFH140 pumps require no maintenance when operated within their performance range, even in thermal cycling applications.

Environment & System

Oversized Inlet Line
Pumps operate optimally with liquid inlet lines larger than the liquid outlet lines. This reduces strain on the bellows and may reduce pulsation in the pump outlet.

Clean Supply Air (CDA)
PFH140 pumps require the use of Class 2 air for particles and moisture per ISO 8573-1. Use a 10-micron filter; maintain -40°C dew point. A point-of-use filter is recommended during the first six months of operation in new fabs/systems due to high risks of debris that can damage pumps and void the warranty.

Flammable Solvents
PFH140 pumps are not constructed from conductive materials. A system that pumps flammable solvents should be properly grounded to avoid ignition by static charge. A River’s Edge test of isolative pumps with flammable liquids indicated that liquids must be grounded and other procedures should be followed. Copy of test available.

Pumping Liquids Near Boiling Point
Minimizing suction lift reduces pulsation and the potential for boiling or outgassing of liquid in the inlet of the pump. Although reciprocating pumps can pull a suction lift, pump performance and life increase when the suction lift is minimized or eliminated.

Abrasive Slurry
Pumping abrasive slurry may accelerate the wear of components. PFH140 pumps are warranted when used with slurry. However, normal wear is not covered by warranty.

Environmental Temperature
PFH140 pumps are rated for 0°C (32°F) – 50°C (122°F) environmental temperatures. Do not freeze fluid in the pump. Operation below 0°C may accelerate wear. Normal wear is not covered by warranty.

Installation Instructions

Liquid Inlet/Outlet
Liquid ports are not NPT nor any other standard. Use of connectors other than those supplied by White Knight will damage the pump.

Control & Monitoring

Programmable Control
White Knight CPT-1 controllers monitor and adjust run mode, flow rate, leak detection and other pump operations.

D10 Amplifier Electrical Hookups & Dimensions
White Knight recommends Expert™ D10 amplifier for use with fiber optic stroke and leak detection assemblies.

Shift Logic for Fiber-optic Pumps

Fiber Optic Stroke Detection Installation
For a standard end stroke, follow the steps for both sides of the pump. For single-probe dual-detect, follow the steps for only the left side.

1. Insert fibre optic probes fully into heads. Push in ferrule and gripper; hand-tighten nut.
2. Open the top and slide the front face of the D10 up. Press the fiber optic ends into the holes on its front. Slide the face down to lock cables in place.

Calibrating D10 Amplifier for Stroke Detection
When calibrating the D10 Amplifier for stroke detection, the pump should be in the same operating conditions it will be in during normal operation (i.e. supply air pressure, back pressure, etc.). The Fiber Optic must be installed as per the instructions in section 3.1.

Upon completion of a successful learning cycle, the D10 Amplifier will continuously learn and self-teach to maintain the same cycle rate count readings.

Conductivity Leak Detection Installation
Leaks are identified if conductive fluid contacts a sensor. Sensor provides a Sink (NPN) or Source (PNP) signal, depending on the wire setup. See the wiring diagrams below. Conductive leak detection does not qualify for use in explosion-proof environments. Conductive fluid is required.

• See below for the elbow-out configuration.

1. Remove the leak adapter from the assembly.
2. Replace NPT plug in “L” port with probe. Hand Tighten. Attach the cable to the signal translator (e.g. PLC).

Fiber Optic Leak Detection Installation

D10 amplifier must be calibrated before attaching fiber optic probes to the pump. Fiber optic sensors can melt if used at >130°C (266°F), causing leak detection failure.

See below for elbow out configuration.

Ordering Instructions

Options 1-3 are required. Leave Additional Options blank if not desired. Only add Outlet if different than Inlet.

• [email protected]
• Fibre optic cables are ordered separately. Fibre optics are required for operation. Standard configuration includes dual probes WITHOUT fibres. See stroke detection options to order fiber optic cables or single probe options.

Timer mode operation requires detection. The use of timer mode without stroke detection voids the warranty. Operating the pump without the included quick exhaust valves (QEVs) voids the pump warranty. Customers may use their own QEVs with the optional NPT adapter.
