Pump specifications
All HyPrecision pump models
Environmental conditions
If the cooling water or the supply water temperature is higher than 24.0°C (75°F), cool the water before use.
Water that is too warm is not good for cooling and can shorten high-pressure seal life.
Hydraulic fluid
Domestic pumps ship from the factory with AW 32 hydraulic fluid.
High altitude and ambient temperatures can have an effect on the temperature of hydraulic fluid. Fluid that is too
cool is thick and causes increased friction and poor lubrication. Fluid that is too hot is thin, which accelerates
wear on the parts, increases the formation of sludge, degrades the fluid, and decreases its lubrication and
protective qualities.
Utilities
Electrical power
The motor size determines the full load amperes, the overload settings, and the wire sizes. Refer to your pump
model (starting on page 180 in this section) or to the system schematic drawing.
Supply water
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. Mineral deposits can clog the cooling fins in the heat exchanger.
Softened water is necessary for most systems. Get advice from a specialist for recommendations for choosing a
water treatment system. Reverse osmosis systems are available from Hypertherm.
Total dissolved solids (TDS)
Dissolved solids cause deposits that can cause damage to check valves, seals, orifices, and other consumables.
Refer to the table on page 96 for recommended TDS levels.
