Wilfley Model A9 Chemical Processing Pumps

ASME B73.1 Wilfleys Model A9 pump series is conservatively designed and robustly constructed to offer high reliability in the most difficult pumping applications. The Model A9 is an end-suction, single stage centrifugal pump that meets or exceeds ASME B73.1 requirements. It handles liquids that are highly corrosive and abrasive. Discharge sizes range from 1 (25mm) to 8 (200mm) in diameter. Flow rates range to over 5,280 USGPM (1,200 m3/hr).

Traditionof Innovation and Quality Arthur Redman Wilfley was an inventor and entrepreneur. He began working on centrifugal pumps in 1902. Wilfleys first commercially available pump was sold in 1919 and was built around his unique concept of the expeller for hydraulic sealing. He continued to perfect the expeller design and received a patent in 1920. The Wilfley expeller continues to be the unique hallmark of Wilfley pumps.

Ultimate Seal Flexibility The Model A9 pump is available with the Wilfley dynamic seal where the rotating expeller component creates a hydraulic seal that moves the pumpage away from the shaft penetration while the pump is operating. Benefits include operation without rubbing seal contact, no heat generation, no continuous seal water required, no gland packing, and the ability to operate under less-ideal conditions including the ability to run dry. The Wilfley Drylock II static seal is engineered and tested to provide positive sealing at pump shutdown. The Model A9 pump is also available in a wide selection of commercially available single and double mechanical seals.

Wilfley DryLock II Seal

DryLock II Features The Drylock II is Wilfleys latest version of a positive static seal to prevent product leakage as the Model A9 pump shuts down and dynamic sealing is lost. The actuator assembly contains stainless steel balls that, as the pump starts up and the assembly rotates on the shaft, the balls centrifugally move outward in fixed slots contacting and moving an actuator plate to open the seals (rotating and stationary seal components). The dynamic seal evacuates the liquid in the seal chamber to the point where there is an equalized balance between the pumpage and atmosphere. The Wilfley dynamic seal with Drylock II operates without seal components in rubbing contact or backup packing. This eliminates the need for flush water in most cases. As the pump is shut down, the centrifugal force of the steel balls is diminished and a spring forces the seal components together to prevent product leakage. The Drylock II can be supplied as a total cartridge assembly or individual components can be easily replaced in the field. Precise in-field adjustment is also easily accomplished without the need of special tools.

Materials of Construction

Materials The Wilfley Model A9 pump is available in any machinable alloy to meet a wide range of pumping requirements. Materials of construction include, but are not limited to: ductile iron, duplex and super duplex stainless steels, nickel alloys, hard irons and a variety of austenitic stainless steels including Alloy 20 (CN7M), 304L (CF3) and 316L (CF3M). Wilfleys engineering and metallurgical staff has the knowledge and expertise to assist you in material selection. Wilfley maintains an extensive library of pumping services and corrosion/abrasion data. Wilfley also performs ongoing testing to evaluate the effects of abrasion and corrosion on a variety of materials.

To assist with material selection, Wilfley can provide material coupons for testing in your particular application followed by a material deterioration analysis report. Wilfleys in-house metallurgical resources have developed unique materials to survive in the most hostile environments. These proprietary materials were developed to extend the erosion/corrosion performance and reliability of the Model A9 pump in the most difficult applications. WCD4 Wilfleys improved CD4MCu duplex stainless steel offers 40% higher hardness, 42% increased tensile strength, 65% increase in yield strength, resulting in a lower wear rate and higher corrosion resistance than the industry standard CD4MCu.

MAXALLOY 5A is a proprietary high-chrome hard iron providing material hardness at a minimum of 720 HBN with a tensile strength of 110,000 PSI for the most difficult abrasive services. MAXALLOY 10 is a proprietary high-chrome iron for applications where both erosive and corrosion wear. It offers a material hardness of 365-420 HBN and can be applied in low- pH applications. Alloy C Max is a Wilfley specially processed proprietary material that offers a 70% better corrosion performance than the equivalent standard Alloy C.

General Installation Recommendations

Ordering Information Wilfley pumps are engineered to operate in compliance with your specifications. Careful evaluation of pumping conditions is needed to provide accurate pump recommendations and quotations. This list will help establish specific pumping conditions: Liquid Specific Gravity (of pumpage) Percent solids (if any) Capacity (flow rate) Total head (pressure) NPSH available Temperature Viscosity Maximum suction pressure Minimum suction pressure

Choosing Pump Location The following recommendations may be helpful when choosing the best location for your pump: Locate the pump as close to the liquid source as practical so that the suction pipe is short and direct with a minimum of elbows, fittings and valves. Place the pump in a location so that the unit is accessible for inspection during operation as well as for maintenance operations involving removal and disassembly.

Alignment The pump and motor are aligned at the factory before shipment. Realignment may be necessary after the complete unit has been leveled on the foundation and after the foundation bolts have been tightened. Explicit directions for checking and aligning the pump components may be found in the Hydraulic Institute Standards. Piping Both suction and discharge pipes should be supported independently near the pump so that, when the flange bolts are tightened, no strain will be transmitted to the casing. A check valve should be installed in the discharge line to prevent fluid from flowing back through the pump while it is shut down. Valves should be installed in both discharge and suction lines to isolate the pump during maintenance. Care must be taken in sizing and locating suction piping to prevent cavitation.

Foundation The foundation should be sufficiently substantial to absorb any vibration and to form a permanent, rigid support. A concrete foundation on a solid base is satisfactory. Foundation bolts of the proper size should be embedded in the concrete located by the outline drawing.
