Product Description | 2 2.4 Standard Features 2.4.1 Water Cooling The machine is cooled by a cooling liquid circuit in the cylinder cover and cylinder. The cooling liquid pump (CLP) allows a recirculating flow in the cooling liquid chamber. The motor of the cooling liquid pump must be electrically connected, see Electrical Con- nection of the Cooling Liquid Pump [► 22] The cooling liquid is cooled by a plate heat exchanger (PHE) which must be connected to the water main.
2 | Product Description 2.5 Optional Accessories 2.5.1 Silencer A silencer at the discharge connection (OUT) can be provided to reduce the exhaust gas noise. 2.5.2 Mechanical Seals The sealing systems can be equipped with mechanical seals. The following variants are possible: –...
