HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
6.1 Overview
The main hydraulic power circuit supplies the intensifier assembly with the hydraulic oil required
to produce high pressure water. High pressure cutting water is generated from the oil pressure in
the hydraulic cylinder.
6.2 Operation
The electric motor drives three pumps mounted in tandem; the main hydraulic pump, the
recirculation pump and the booster pump.
Hydraulic fluid from the reservoir is drawn into the inlet, low pressure side of the hydraulic
pump. Oil delivered to the pump should be maintained at 110-115 F (43-46 C). Hydraulic
fluid then enters the bottom of the manifold through an internal anti-rotation check valve. After a
shutdown, the anti-rotation check valve prevents the pump from running backwards.
