Can Hydraulic Intensifiers Improve Your System Design?


Category : Business 1 year ago

Hydraulic intensifiers are designed for delivering high amount of pressure from a low-pressure hydraulic power source. The hydraulic intensifier uses less energy while input pressure and converts the fluid energies to higher output pressures. There is no change in the laws of thermodynamics when performing this action. Actually, an intensifier is already equipped with a hydraulic architecture. Hydraulic intensifier is also called as hydraulic booster. Their operation is powered by a pump that works from a hydraulic power source that is at low-pressure. The pump operation is set at a certain pressure and from this the intensifier generates an increased output pressure. Their use is commonly seen in hydraulic power pack. The intensifiers are designed in a compact manner and can be installed easily. Offered as in-line models that fit the standard pipe clamps used in the industry, as CETOP models, flange-on models and as cartridge type intensifiers. Though they have compact design, all the needed high-pressure check valves are integrated. There are different hydraulic intensifier models that can be used for flows that start at 0.3 gpm and up to 21 gpm. In case it is built into a bypass, they can be used in very high flow systems. They are commonly used in systems for generating end pressures between 1,000 and 7,300 psi. There are some models that have the ability to increase the end pressures between 20,000 and 60,000 psi.
