Control Wiring:
Wiring for remote control of the pump must be in accordance with
national and local electrical codes. The SL-IV Waterjet Pump has a 24vdc
electrical control system and has provisions for remote operation in the
pump control panel.
2.2.2 Service Connections
Cooling Water IN/OUT:
Supply piping must be properly sized to handle the necessary flow, and
pressure. Piping must meet national and local piping codes.
If municipal or well water is used for cooling, insure that the supply will flow a
minimum of 1 gallon per minute at a minimum of 30 PSIG under maximum
usage conditions.
If a plant chilled water system is used for cooling, insure that there is a
minimum of 30 PSIG pressure differential between the facility supply and
discharge plumbing. Installation of an in-line pressure boosting pump may be
necessary to provide adequate cooling flow.
Cutting Water IN:
Supply piping must be properly sized to handle the necessary flow and
pressure. Piping must meet national and local piping codes.
Prior to operation, insure that the cutting water meets minimum standards
listed in Section 11 “Specifications”. Operation without proper water quality
will shorten the life of certain intensifier parts and void their warranty.
Use only plastic or copper plumbing from the cutting water source to the SL-IV
pump cutting water supply filter.
Thoroughly purge the cutting water supply plumbing prior to connecting to the
SL-IV pump.
HP Water OUT:
Properly rated, sized, and well supported high pressure (HP) piping must be
connected to the pump.
If new HP discharge piping is installed, all burrs that might come loose must be
carefully removed, and the tubing sections should be purged with compressed
air prior to assembly. Further, it is strongly recommended that the HP piping
be purged under high pressure operating conditions, using a large, cheap
orifice. Contamination from the HP piping will be released when the tubing
expands under pressure. If the HP piping is not purged, expect to have early
orifice failures.
All stainless steel parts should have High Purity Goop (P/N 10084440) applied
to the treads and contact surfaces prior to assembly. Do NOT USE ANY OTHER
ANTI-SEIZE COMPOUND. Failure to use High Purity Goop will result in galling
of the parts, and will generally render them unusable. Do not use HIGH PURITY
Goop on ANYTHING but stainless steel!
