Utilities
Electrical power
Compressed air
The bleed-down valve uses compressed air to operate.
Supply water
Water quality
The quality of the water supplied to the intensifier has a direct effect on the life of the intensifier
and consumables.
Bad water quality increases operating costs by causing unnecessary wear on pump parts and
shortening maintenance intervals.
Before installing this equipment, test the supply water.
Water quality reports that show pH, silica, and hardness levels are frequently available
for no charge from public utility water suppliers.
Refer to Utilities on page 137 for system specifications.
WARNING
A line disconnect switch for incoming electrical power must be installed near the power
supply.
This is a supply-voltage disconnecting device or an energy-isolating device.
CAUTION
The primary feed circuit breaker or fuse must be the correct size to control inrush and
steady-state current.
Use a motor-start circuit breaker or an equivalent if time-delay high-inrush fuses are not
permitted by national or local codes.
Local codes can require a backflow prevention valve to separate the pump from the facility’s
potable water.
