Prep Pump EMPV Cleaning Description
Depending on the application, particles can sometimes be collected in the
EMPV valve. This fast cleaning routine is designed to remove such particle
deposits. The routine should always be performed when the EMPV is
suspected of being leaky or contaminated with particles.
The EMPV outlet is plugged with a blank nut (01080-83202). After a short
flushing routine the EMPV is closed and the pressure is increased to
approximately 350 bar. Then the EMPV is opened and the pressure is released
very quickly. The procedure is repeated 5 times in a sequence.
Large internal leaks at the EMPV can easily be identified by observing a flow out through
the waste tubing of the EMPV, while the EMPV should be closed.
