  • Page 19: Intended Use

    Product description Intended use Within their technical limits, high-pressure pumps are used to deliver and pres- surise adequate types of fluids. The compressed air-driven high-pressure pump is intended to be installed into a system. It must only be operated if all residual risks have been assessed as part of the risk assessment of the system.
  • Page 20: Technical Specifications

    Product description Control air port “X” Port for control air. The high-pressure pump will only operate if the control air connection is pressurised. The pressure of the control air must always be larger or equal to the drive pressure to ensure flawless function. The same require- ments regarding compressed air quality apply to the control air as to the drive air.
  • Page 21 Depending on the degree of purity of the demineralised water and the require- ments for the cleanliness of the pump, various options are possible here. In many cases, special pump materials can be used. Let Maximator advise you on the se- lection of a suitable pump.
  • Page 22 Maximum particle size µm a. Maximator high-pressure pumps generally do not need a compressed air oiler as they are treated with special grease during installation. However, after the first time an oiler is used, the drive fluid should always be oiled, as the oil washes out the special grease. The oil in the oiler must be in accordance with DIN 51524 - ISO VG 32.
  • Page 23: Dimensions And Weight

    Certain high-pressure pump de- signs can be suitable for other drive fluids. If you are unsure regarding the use of a special fluid, please don't hesitate to contact Maximator. 3.6.2 Dimensions and weight The dimensions and weight of the high-pressure pump are indicated on the gen- eral drawing.
