This handbook will discuss the basic sizing used for our larger Well-X-Trol ® s such as WX-400, 420, 44 0, and 450 series. This allows you to use the Well- X-Trol ® “principle of separation of air and water” on larger jobs that are beyond the typical residential range.
-2- Utilizing the Maximum Capacity of Full Acceptance Well-X-Trol ® s Series 400, 420, 440 and 450 When used with conventional pressure ranges, these Well-X-Trol models use only a fraction of their maximum capacity. For Example: A WX-423 with a total volume of (275) gallons will accept the following: at 30/50 – (85) gallons or 30.
-3- For example, if we look at a typical pump curve for a ( 15) HP – (85) GPM submersible pump – we can sel ect a pump cut-in and cut-out point on the curve which will provide optimum pump operation. The pump curve shows pump performance as it s pressure rises from cut-off ( ( 0 ) head in test) to maximum head in feet.
Subtracting the feet of head required for lift (240 ′ ) we can convert this point to PSIG: Maximum pump cut-out = 420 feet Less lift = 240 feet Maximum pressure = 180 feet To convert feet of head to PSIG, we divide by (2.31) (there is (2.31) feet of head for each PSI): 180 ÷ 2.
-5- Step Three: Calculate Acceptance Factor (AF) Remember our formula for calculating the acceptance factor (AF) for diaphragm tanks? Step Four: Maximum Acceptance Factor Verification After calculating the acceptance factor (AF), we must compare the value to the maximum acceptance factors shown in Table 1.
