PX Simulator
The PX Simulator is a free online tool that determines the optimal balance of flowrate and efficiency for the firm’s Advanced Series of air-operated double-diaphragm pumps. After the user enters the inlet, head, and flow parameters of the application, the pump model computes the inlet air pressure and efficiency management system (EMS) settings that yield the highest efficiency. The operator then simply turns the dial on the pump’s Pro-Flo X air-distribution system to that setting to achieve the lowest power consumption. The simulator saves time by eliminating a series of manual calculations previously needed to achieve the best results from the air-distribution system.
